What it does :
- shows non-Qvga (up to 800*480=WVGA) apps in market (ex. Rom-Manager)

What it does NOT :
- doesn't show paid apps in countries which... don't show them, use Market Enabler for that.

FAQ :
1 - An app not showing ? Check on www.androlib.com if the requested app isn't missing from the market ! (ex : ScummVM)

2 - Can't download from the market ? The patching method I used is a known process and it's 99.9% impossible that it causes problems. If downloading apps fails, it's a google-sided problem.

3 - Don't know what it does ? Look at screenshots, XXX results for a "video" search Search for "video" to see the difference (or compare before and after patching) !

4 - After flashing the market, you still can't see more apps ? You'll need to go to "Settings", from there go to Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> find the Market app ==> Purge its datas & caches : Accept ToS again.

5 - Can't reboot / bootloops right after flashing this patch ?!??! Well, I'm not going to open an Aftersales service, but first : You did something wrong !
=> This patch only do things related to Vending.apk (market app) & its cache, nothing more ! Therefore, having a PHONE issue (like not rebooting / needing to flash a previous nandroid backup) ISN'T MY RESPONSABILITY NOR THIS PATCH'S FAULT. This being stated, I still can point out some of those WRONG BEHAVIOR and what it does :
*removing Vending.apk from G-apps* => perfectly stupid !
*not installing G-apps before flashing* => YOU NEED THEM !
*flashing this patch to a stock rom* => I never tried, but if it works, it's kewl.

6 - New v2.2.x gives you FCs ? Use the Symp.Market.Remover.zip to purge the market :
1- Put the file on your SDcard
2- Flash it under Clockwork Recovery
3- Reboot, let your rom boot (WITHOUT directly flashing a patched market)
4- once your rom booted, check market disapeared and can't be launched by any leftover shortcut.
5- Reboot under recovery and flash Symp.Color.market.vX.X.zip as normal

*another wierd problem not listed below?* => No, this isn't stupid to ask if you did everything GOOD, if no matter what you still have ****s, just post a Logcat and/or the maximum infos about what's going wrong.

[johnnyslt]

nice work.

PS : do think you can attach the original market also? maybe some people what to return the original one without restoring from nandroid backup.

10x

 

[axq]

I got stuck in a bootloop after flashing.
Cyanogenmod RC2

E: Yep. Endless bootloop. Flashing CM over it wont help. Trying nandroid backup now.

 

[lasharor]

Not working for me, I'm not getting as much results as you do in those screenshots.

Saw the BBQ!!! thing while flashing (and running CM RC1)

+1

I have only ~700 results for search term. „video“. Something is strange...

 

[veljkocar]

It won't show payed apps if your country doesn't support them. I'm pretty sure Serbia doesn't.

 

[dejandekic]

OK, but when I fake my country with Market Enabler (set to T-Mobile USA) i have 1093 results for „video“, not 3000+ like we can see in the screenshot above

 

[Sympnotic]

Did you have to accept ToS when you run market again ? You might need to fake your fingerprint, i'll post something about that.

 

[WackyWookie]

- An app not showing ? don't whine... Check on www.androlib.com if the requested app isn't missing from the market ! (ScummVM for ex.)

Be that as it may, the market in wildpuzzlerom eclair 2.1 still shows more apps than this patch applied to gapps-mdpi-20101020 when installed on CyanogenMod RC2? How's that possible? For instance I can't for the love of god find the app called "Appie". In the wildpuzzlerom market it's easy to find...

 

[windywoo]

2 results for ROM Manager and 1000+ for video. Same as before I flashed this. Cyanogen mod RC2 btw.

What have I done wrong?

 

[dejandekic]

Did you have to accept ToS when you run market again ? You might need to fake your fingerprint, i'll post something about that.

No. There was no new ToS. That's strange, because I know there should be ToS after patching.

Best way to check if patched market works:

look for ICQ, the original ICQ app. it's not released for qvga, so if you can see it, the patched market works

 

[dejandekic]

No ICQ for me when i search the Market...

 

[3ph15t]

No ICQ for me when i search the Market...

ok, i'm not shure if you could get it with a desire or something else in your country. but if you knew that it is there for the "big" screens, then you should see it after you flashed the patched market

 

[kevin2516]

there is not much difference between this and the patched market for openfire rom? I flashed the openfire one and it works fine

I just don't know =/ Both 2.1 & 2.2 market had been patched by me, and that should be the same thing, might have something to do with roms' fingerprint.

2 results for ROM Manager and 1000+ for video. Same as before I flashed this. Cyanogen mod RC2 btw.

What have I done wrong?

Settings => applications => manage applications => Market => Clear Caches.
The .zip should have done this, but it didn't. You should accept ToS again when accessing the market, then it should works.

No. There was no new ToS. That's strange, because I know there should be ToS after patching.

Same as previous answer, i'll post a V3 to fix the said issue.

Ahah, finally someone I can scream on ! Have you read the main page ? It's right under screenshots.


V3 posted : give it a try or purge market's datas & caches yourself, see FAQ Q°4

Hmm... Well I guess it's a mystery then... xD Just to be clear: the "video" search term gives 2072 hits In WPR2.1 and (about)1994 for the patched market in CM6.1rc2 The patch clearly works, but still... Stuff's missing. Weird.
