Market Protected Apps Fix 2.2UK

I made this update .zip for my phone to unlock the protected apps in the market.

Thanks to Higgsy for providing information on how to make this.

I've tested and it works perfectly on my Defy (UK T-Mobile).

Does it have Motoblur or it's like the 2.34 ?

What I find interesting is that key vibrating actually works, but it's so little vibrating that you don't notice when you're normally using the phone. Maybe some variable what is to low or something?

On key touch there is a very little vibrate when you feel very good.

You are correct!

There is the tiniest of tiny vibrations. You really have to feel extremely gently. A normal press and you wouldn't notice because of the vibration your finger would cause normally.

oh, yes. of course. i can only feel it through the hand that is holding my phone. nothing on the finger.

If you want to use Clockwork, you have to disable USB debugging after installing the recovery.

Video Improvement Mod + Protected Apps Unlocked

Hi all,
I created this update .zip for myself.

This improves the video settings to record at 8mbps in .mp4 - Thanks to BizzaBoy for showing how to mod this.

It also unlocks the protected apps in the market - Thanks to Higgsy for this.


This replaces your build.prop and media_profiles.xml files.

Tested on my Defy as working.



METHOD I USE FOR INSTALL:

1. Download zip file below and save somewhere on your Defy's SD Card.

2. Root using SuperOneClick (Click here for Instructions)

3. Reboot

4. Install the ClockWork MOD Recovery (Click here for Instructions)

5. Go to Settings > Applications > Development and disable USB debugging.

6. Boot into the ClockWork MOD Recovery.

7. Choose to "Install zip from SDCARD", then "choose zip from sdcard", then browse and find where you saved the zip, then press "Yes Install..."

8. Reboot system now.

9a. If this is a fresh install, you can simply start using the market now.

9b. If you have used the market before, go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All.

10. Scroll down and find "Market". Press the "Force stop" button and then press the "Clear data" button.

11. Exit the Settings and start using Market

Cheers

No it's not

Although it's the best Froyo ROM available in my opinion.

Ah thanks for that tip. I am returning my defected defy so want to return it the way it came. Cant flash now but will surely do so after my new piece comes to me.
