I got tired of running market enabler after every boot This build sets phone to US T-Mobile - you'll see all apps (including pay) for this resolution.
Nice work buddy.
PS. Are you from Canada? Maybe even Toronto?
The reason I ask is I see "The Hip" playing and I know they are big there. Having lived there for 21 years .
The base file is corrupted

Thanks. I'm from the other side of the country - Vancouver - old Hip is fantastic!
Vancouver! nice. I'm in Victoria. Love The Hip.
Reuploaded and tested base.
i'm not sure I believe that market enabler actually does anything to the missing market apps for donut and above anymore. why?
1. after booting 320x480, getting full market, then going to 240x320 and using market enabler religiously, after 4-5 days my market still reverts back to having missing apps.
2. after booting a data.img at 240x320, I ran market enabler before entering my google account stuff. missing market apps still missing (paid apps yes, but no pandora, no google listen, no pdanet, no weather channel etc etc).
but i'm willing to be a believer. i'm going to fire this up in 240x320 with a brand spanking new data file and see what rolls. I think we need to find a way to fake resolution to google to avoid missing apps, as the market enabler/t-mobile footprint thing seems to only work for paid apps. waiting to stand corrected though . . . will post back.

This build won't show you the apps for different resolutions - just gives you the full market (as market enabler would) for 320 x 240; I'll have to correct the wording to avoid confusion.

love the build, fast as usual. I see you are feeling lcd.density of 113, I like it. love the animations as well. yeah, to me "full market" means everything - only way to get that, it seems, is booting a fresh data file at 320x480. I should work on a fix for that . . .
absolutely love it! same stable build as last time, updated. With bluetooth and fully functional gps, there is really not much more that I could ask for! For my phone and my use, this build is far and away the fastest out there, very smooth. Everything just fits right on the screen too. Nothing fancy but 100% usable.
Love that you have paid apps enabled by default too.
Tatnai, you figure out how to fix the market / resolution issue and I don't think there is a single thing left we can complain about...as small of an annoyance as it is.
Thanks Plemen! great work as usual
i´ve installed this version to my polaris and it runs very nice and fast. thanks!
just a few things i noticed:
- data connection works
- camera works
- wifi doesn´t work
- market doesn´t work (always getting a server error message)
- coundn´t test bluetooth yet
wifi not working is a big issue for me since i don´t have a data-plan. hope this gets fixed in the future

I'm not sure what enabling wifi for the polaris entails - I only have a vogue but if somebody sends me the info I'll add an update and add it to the first post.
Any body got google voice to work on this build?
Mine installed fine, but then keep force closing.

getting that too. going to try clearing my dalvik cache again and re-installing, I wonder if the new footprint has anything to do with it? if what I'm doing now doesn't work, I may try replacing the build.prop with another footprint, will post back.
EDIT 1: ok, i pulled myns build.prop and dumped it in, google voice works again. I don't know if it is the carrier settings (could be) or maybe the lcd.density (don't think so, unlikely but I guess possible; I know I've used 113 before and I don't recall it causing a problem). I've got to go to bed (my wife's about to kill me) so I can't test anymore. Someone should try google voice with myns build.prop changed to 113, and with plemen's changed to 110. I'll assume that plemen's is going to still force close at 110 cause I think it may be the carrier settings. then we'll need to figure out which setting in particular.

Finally! An free one!
While I do understand that developers need to get money too, I don't think that they should charge money for using someone else's (parrothd) work and simply developing a GUI for it. I'd be happy to donate to people, but I don't think they should make money mandatory.
Thanks a bunch for this app and I hope your app becomes widely used! I'm probably going to use it's source as an example for one of my projects (which is going to be free and probably open source as well)
EDIT: Quick question: Does this automatically turn WiFi off when starting tethering? Also, you should come up with a more creative name ;-P

I was referring to the application name itself not the SSID, actually =P
Also, I posted a feature request in the issues section of your Code page... It's probably not where it belongs, but it's the only place I found. It would be cool if you made it notify on connect in the status bar.
Looks good, very nice indeed.
Works great, thanks!
With SVN access! <3
Works like a charm and a great price! Good stuff
Going to give this a try, see if its better than tetherwifi
Thanks
it is pretty cool. Even turns off wifi for use. Doesn't turn it back on after exiting, but no big deal. Nice to have a simple GUI for tether. Better than terminal....start tether and all.
I was just about to waste the 9 bucks for the paid app when I saw a link to this in the comments section. This is especially sweet for me since the cable and internet are out in my apartment. Thanks!
I dont know what im doing wrong but i have win xp, i installed on phone. It picks it up but wont connect for some reason.

goto menu then setup and put a check mark on your computer name under allowed clients, i had that same problem.
same here, took me a minute to realize what i needed to do. but working fine now. thanks for this.
Whenever I try to start tethering, it shows the waiting screen popup thing for about .12 seconds and then thats it. Doesn't do anything. What now? heh

I had this problem. Wiped my phone, nothing. Then I realized I had my media on my sd card as well as (obviously) the modified init.rc and mountd.conf and figured that was the problem. Reverted the backups I had, copied the media back over and everything worked fine. Had major stability issues with the media change.
Good luck, I hope this helps
Thanks for your feedback ...
Here is short description how to configure the mac-address-filtering:

}
If you enable "Activate Access-Control" clients are blocked from generating internet-traffic. To allow single clients you need to tick the checkbox (next to the client-decription) and hit the save-button in the setup-view. You do NOT need to restart the tethering-service - changes are done on-the-fly!
If you do not see any clients please make sure you are connected, press the [back]-button to exit setup, open the "setup"-view again (press [menu] and chose "setup").
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Harry

Mmmmh ... I don't know what's wrong here.
You could try the following:
* Open terminal
* Become root - type su <enter>
* Change directory - cd /data/data/android.tether/bin <enter>
* Try to start manually - ./tether start <enter>
Do get any error-message?
Have you made any additional modification to your phone?

Holy crap, this works excellent! I'm posting from it! THANK YOU!
heh, I'm posting through it too..
Very cool, clean ui and I dig the notification icon to let me know it's running.. I'm not sure anything needs improved (I'm not much help in the security dept), right out the gate it worked great and I had no problems setting it up. 5
I'd be more than willing to donate a few bucks as long as 'this' version will always remain free and available.
Now a bit of flaming.. hopefully you don't take the xda user suggestions/trouble shooting/help testing etc etc and state "the beta version WAS free", delete it, then slap a $9 price tag on the pro version....

Its buggy on doughnut, but the market post says thats being worked on.
Fix that and add a couple of things from Loccys build (hide notification and multi-touch) and i would switch
Smooth on my side (cm 4.1.999), great browser. Especially the gesture recognition! And the tabs ... wow
But missing MT!
I can't figure out how to work the zoom on this otherwise amazing browser. Hints anyone?
alexnick: Long press on the page itself, you'll get something similar to Steel browser ^^, with the zoom in and out buttons.
I like how it caches pages and allows you freely move among pages without having to reload them when opening the next window/tab, unlike the default browser. IMO this is really the better browser for a G1 due to the lower memory capacity than the other newer android phones. Unless of course you are rooted, then either way it is still a great browser. I have uninstalled steel because I no longer need it. RSS ability makes this a killer app.
Does anyone know if Mozilla Firefox will be releasing web browser for android?
wow...with integrated GBookmarks and GTasks!
Really a cool app.
The best "aftermarket" browser yet...great work!

Hide notification is an option when pressing the menu button - which I LOVE because it is easy to turn on/off!
I really LIKE this browser - much faster on my phone the Loccy's/Stock!
Yeah he added full screen with the latest build.
I must admit I have switched from Loccys superb browser to this, just due to the fact it has full screen. I love Loccys build but that extra little bit at the top just makes the difference to me (I know its a small difference, but there you go)
Not convinced on the gestures, but you cat have everything.
amazing browser bro! Great job!
just downloaded latest version with lots of new features and all i can say is WOW
I just tried installing this from the market, and it completely messed up my phone. It started by forcing my phone to reboot before it could install all the way. It then continued to force close whenever I tried to open it. Then my stock browser wouldn't open without a fc. Then core processes started force closing every ten seconds, preventing me from obtaining any information from log collector. I've uninstalled and rebooted to try and fix the issue, but none of it changes.
I also noticed that I can't access some of my apps anymore after trying to install this. I haven't seen anyone else leaving comments about this issue, what is wrong with my phone? I'd really like to try this browser, especially for the supposed multitouch support for cyanogenmod roms. Can everyone else install and use the Dolphin browser just fine?

I actually did do that sometime in between reboots, without knowing what it actually does. I didn't notice any change though. I tried repairing the ext filesystem, then fix apk uid mismatches, then updated to the most recent CM rom and fixed permissions.
My phone still refuses to run the app. I don't feel like formatting just to have this browser, but I don't want to have this problem for other apps in the future... so I'm going to format anyway.
I'm running C< 4.2.3.1 and I just installed this from the market and it would not open at all, it kept force closing, it also caused the normal browser to force close, even after uninstalling the browser would crash, things didn't go back to normal until I rebooted

Shidell's Android 2.1 Eclair Port for the Vogue
After spending nearly every free hour of the last three weeks (and since 10:00 AM Saturday, it's now 5:40 AM Sunday.. so nearly the last 18 hours straight?) I've finally learned enough about linux and Android to present what I consider an excellent Eclair 2.1 port for the Vogue.
This port is based off of Manup456's work, and includes API level 7 support natively. I hope to be developing with Eclipse shortly, as I have other aspirations on an API-level for Android. (...I'm starting to think I have too many aspirations. )
But, before anything else...
Thanks to:
Plemen. Inspired me with his AOSP builds, and helped me in the very beginning with a few small questions.. just enough to get my feet wet.
Zenulator. Provided literature in the form of guides not only on Android, but on ADB, internals, theming, and more--as well as answered questions. I'd still be researching what a binary file is in linux without Zen, let alone able to present this build now.
Jamezelle. How many questions have you helped me with? lol.
dumbestcrayon. Showed me a fixed GenieWidget.apk from Nexus One, which I've incorporated into v1.1. Do something thoughtful, take a moment right now and send him a message on behalf of the MSM7k users, and thank him.
tatnai. Thanks much for taking the time to assist people with this build, including ext2-related questions, and packaging it/making it available.
Also, thanks to all of you who have encouraged me both publically and privately to continue expanding. It is appreciated.

Features:
Android 2.1 Eclair (API: 7)
Android 2.1 sliding unlock screen
Voice/3G connectivity immediately upon first boot (give it a minute or so)--no reboot required
Nexus One boot animation
Updated wallpapers (including "Live Wallpapers"--Not yet functional, but incorporated)
Nexus One ringtones, notifications & alarms
Includes the latest GPS library improvement from Dzo (in testing, but appears to lock fast and be accurate as of 1-19-2010)
Extra software: Gmail & Mail clients, Market, Music, Corporate Calendar, GenieWidget (Nexus One Weather/Sports app. & widget), Gallery, YouTube (Nexus One) & Spare Parts
Limitations:
Bluetooth non-functional
Tethering (wired & wireless) unsupported by current kernel
Camera does not work
Voice Search/Dial isn't working (need an updated audio library for Eclair, but apps are included so once available, you can replace your .so library files and use them.)
Power collapse isn't completely working--this is an existing issue with Eclair builds and the current audio libraries
Notes:
Be sure to use the latest base files before attempting this build. GPS may not work unless using the 1-19-2010 NAND/zImage from Dzo's site. Dzo has made improvements to the kernel to help get more accurate results via GPS
LCD Density = 110 (for now, we're testing.) HaRET users be sure to set this manually; for NAND users, it's automatically incorporated.
I haven't tested this via HaRET, only via NAND--thus, I can't provide much support for ext2/HaRET users. if you do use HaRET, please report back on how this works for you, and try to assist others
This build basically fills the capacity of NAND's limits (about 88 mb. of data)--be patient when it's starting with the boot animation
This build contains both the standard English and Chinese input keyboards--long press on an input box (I.E. Text Message) and select "Android Keyboard" to set it to English
Please be sure to leave comments in the thread if you try this build. Thanks!

Download -- v1.1, 1-19-2010 (.ext2 and .sqsh links fixed):
Removed: Voice Search, Voice Dial (without audio library support, they're just taking up precious space), Maps (easily available from the market, this chews up almost 5 mb. and I only have 88 to work with, so please download it post-setup), "Cube" Live Wallpaper (OK tech demo, but not very flashy. Pulled to save space.)
Added: Corporate Calendar )), Gallery3D instead of the original Gallery (a bit slower, please comment on your thoughts/preferences), GenieWidget App/Widget for weather/news from Nexus One, and YouTube from Nexus One. Additionally, I've packaged all of the Live Wallpapers from Nexus One. They aren't working yet, but once we've got the hold up cleared, I'll enable them.
Live Wallpaper: This is working, other than the Nexus One wallpapers. Search for "Live Wallpaper" on the Market, there's a few to pick from. I personally enjoy "Starfield".
GPS: The current GPS library incorporated with this build has debugging enabled, so it will write data to a file on your SD card. This shouldn't take up much space. You can remove this at will. This is simply a disclaimer and a notification of what to expect.

Removed: Gallery3D (Slow, doesn't run correctly)
Added: Original (2D) Gallery
GPS: Updated to use v1.5 of the GPS library, which is another monumental step forward. jnadke is making great strides in improving our GPS library, and Google Navigation should work nicely in this build.
System: Modified lcd density from 120 to 110; this allows for the Dialer and the Music application to fit the screen correctly, as well as provides for a bit more room in certain apps (like Messaging) which were previously crowded. This does cause some other apps to display things a bit awkwardly, such as Menus, which can cut off a bit of top text.
Give it a shot, and post your opinions. Thanks to tatnai for the recommendation.

system_v1.2_1-24-2010.sqsh.zip
Thanks for your hard work man.
Lookin forward to run this build.
Looking forward to using it. The download links look to point to the same file. Is this right? I'm looking for the SQSH.
going to give this a go with haret and post back, downloading now. will system.ext work with haret without ext2 partitions - i know, it's embarrassing, I have yet to partition my sd card; maybe I should do that today lol? also, is libgps.so actually included in the system file - I assume I have to load it in the rootfs using adb or terminal, right?
yeah, I think you were a bit tired, shidell, looks like your two links point to the same file, lol. strong work, thanks shidell, look forward to testing!
oh one last thing - tethering should work using PDAnet, I think it uses adb to do it, so as long as adb works it should.
EDIT: system.ext2 works fine with haret without partitions . . . that nexus boot animation sure is cool
Awesome work Shidell
Can you fix the dowload link for the sqsh file. It points to the ext2.
Thank you
I'd like to ask if the camera is working or not on this build.
Maybe someone can refresh my memory - is using the EXT file different from using the SQSH? Or can I just swap one of the other?
Are you saying that tethering via tetherbot doesn't work in this build?

Hey Tatnai, for Shidell's 2.1 port, what rootfs/initrd/zImage did you use?
I have NAND running on one phone so don't want to disturb that set up but as I am trying this using Haret for wife's phone, I need to know that...
Thanks,
sshark

using the 1/6/10a rootfs, using the 1/14/10 zimage, and the initrd.gz and haret from the latest basefiles 11/16/09 (first link).
ext2 extension is fine for use with haret and no partitions.

Any special conf needed?
And just use a standard vogue default text, set at what resolution? Thanks for any help.
Great work! It's so good to see someone else packing up systems for the community!
Contact me any time if I can help you with anything
a couple apps courtesy of zenulator, can't recall the link to his google code page, but included are calibration app, development app (use both to calibrate the screen), and modem app.
Shidell,
Two words.
Freakin awesome.

I keep getting cannot read default text from Haret??? Probably something stupid on my part. I have an Eclair build running so I do understand some of this. But if one of you great members could share what files you are using it would be most appreciated. Thanks.
Do you need rename the system.ext2 extension?
I am using the following:
rootfs-2010-01-06a
system.ext2
zImage-14-01-10
initrd.gz 16-11-09
Last message I see is "failed to allocate the storage". What am I doing wrong?
I run Eclair 2.01 now via Haret. I downloaded the latest linked zImage and rootfs.img. I have system.ext2 - previously I have always used SQSH.
Thoughts?

you are using rootfs from 1/7/10. this version does not seem to work with haret. use 1/6/10a.
Excellent work.
Can you please fix the link to the sqsh file in the first post?
It appears both go to the ext2 link.
Thanks
I have a running package of Shidell's eclair, if someone wants it, I can upload whole deal (zImage, default.txt, rootfs...etc.) somewhere. I don't have any filesharing account.
quick notes, running from sd card without partitions:
1. audio: was hopeful, but looks like we have to wait on lib.audio changes for voice search/dialer and speakerphone. question for those using sd card with partitions or nand and rootfs 1/7/10 - does speakerphone, voice dialer/search work for you? (and does rootfs 1/7/10 work for sd card w/ partitions?). may have to flash to nand if rootfs 1/7/10 fixes the lib.audio for eclair . . .
2. love the lock screen!
3. Market: just like donut, must first boot 320x480 to see all free apps in market. can then switch to 240x320. ideal lcd.density appears to be 110 at 240x320, this allows you to see what you are typing in Messaging, and allows the notification bar not to be screwed up (120 is fine for the notification bar, but you can't see anything you are typing in Messaging).
4. other: small enhancements here and there with 2.1 (dialer, contacts, haptic feedback, messaging, etc). i see accuracy noted now in maps without doing anything special, seems like the 1.3 libgps.so is in the system? haven't tried driving with it.
5. my orange sleep LED is not blinking. i don't think my phone is sleeping... I think this is why we don't have the wake-up problem (multiple presses to wake the phone up). have not tried the hacked zimage.
Great work Shidell! Love this build.

I have got this running finally! BUT, I have the keyboard with English letters but the text in the keyboard such as DONE or NEXT is coming up in some Asian language??? Just me, or anyone else find this?
So, if yours works correctly then please upload, thanks.
Great work Shidell, excellent. The only downside for me is no tethering, tried with PdaNet just to see, but fails.

=================================================
After all the roms being made and such, I felt that I should take it upon myself to create a rom to sort of give back to the community. Thus creating what will now be known as Feather.
Feather is a rom unlike any other, and you better hold onto your phone because of it. What Feather is, is, a rom that is built for speed and battery life. This is my first build, and I'm currently working on a v2.0 release. I was going to wait for then, but I just couldn't wait, sorry x]
Ever download a rom, then look at how many apps there are, and realize that, while some of them are "cool", that you'll probably never use them? The solution to that problem is found within Feather. I've ripped out everything but the bare essentials to keep your rom going, and, so far, it's been helping the hell out of my phone. Boot time is much faster than I've got off of any rom, and, best thing is, everything works out of the box. No need to ***** and complain about how your rom doesn't have camera, or that the wifi doesnt work. It's a (fast) rom, everything works because it's stock. So, tell me what you guys think. Obviously it's not perfect since this is (1) my first rom and (2) my first release.
This rom is:
1 - De-odexed
2 - Rooted
3 - ZipAligned
4 - Light
5 - Fast
6 - Using this as a stock rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808173
Changelog
v1.7 FULL WIPE NEEDED
- Added in 3-in-1 reboot mod by default
- Fixed Syncing loop issue
- Better speed ups by removing un-needed defaults
- Various speed up tweaks
v1.5 FULL WIPE NEEDED
- Facebook Sync working!
- Added Calendar / Calendar Sync (you can remove the sync from the applications menu to prevent the Calendar sync process)
- Added Wireless Tether (seems standard now?)
- Removed setup.apk files (starts with clean slate. If you want to setup Syncing, go to settings->Accounts&Sync->Add Account)
- Has a boot animation ;D
- Cleaned up system files for better support of re-adding desired widgets and applications.

This Rom is made for those who do not use every single application on their own, but would rather install the ones they need to have a stronger / longer battery life, while maintaining speed and performance.
**For the v2.0 release, I'll have all of the removed apps uploaded so you are able to download and install the ones you need, so that you're able to keep the speed and performance up.

It takes a lot of time to build roms, especially with everything I've got going on. If you appreciate it, please donate. I'm moving and have to look for work elsewhere, and still have rent to pay. Not expecting my rent to be payed haha, but having an extra dollar to take the girlfriend out is always nice. I know there's people out there worse than me, so I'm content and making due. Just saying, it would be much appreciated.

Remove Sense**
Removes sense functions, you MUST have another launcher installed BEFORE running this remove script. I suggest downloading LauncherPro from the market, or from this thread in the Suggested Settings section
>> Remove Sense Download Link
Remove Bluetooth**
Bluetooth has continuous running processes that go, despite whether or not bluetooth is turned ON or OFF. Download and install this to remove the services and application if you do not use bluetooth.
>>Remove Bluetooth Download Link
Add Bluetooth**
Feature to add back the bluetooth functionality after running the remove bluetooth script above. Suggest to keep this and the remove script on your SD card to easily switch back and forth for times when you do and don't need it.
>>Add Bluetooth Download Link
Add Text To Speech (for use with GPS, ect)**
As said above, this is used with the GPS services to provide turn by turn navigation directions. This is not needed, but if you'd like the application to read you the directions as you drive, download this app.
>>Add TTS Download Link
Add Voice Search Options**
Should give back the search key -> Google Search function. I was planning on doing something with this at a later date, but for those who prefer to have it as a Google Search key, here's the patch.
>>Restore Voice Search
Add Weather and Weather Syncing**
Sort of obvious, allows Weather to connect to the internet to pinpoint your location / give you exact weather details for your area.
**Run these through Recovery as usual

Credits - Personally, I don't know everyone (by name / username) who's done something to make this happen, so bare with me. Obviously rmk40 for providing the rom | de-odexing the rom, unrevoked team, and whoever else.
Fantastic...thanks for this. D/L now...
jc
No problem. Tell me what you think
Just a heads up, when you install it, it'll say Incredible, but then you'll get a black screen. Just let it sit for a minute and it'll go through. After that, boot times are a lot faster.
a few weeks ago i ripped every piece out of my Virtuous rom that i do not use and was amazed at how much quicker and smoother the phone is. it boots up and shuts down noticeably quicker and just runs quicker and smoother. i have yet to see a single force close on it either.
i'm sure this rom is even faster and smoother than the one i'm running.
thanks, nickkx...i think this is just what i've been looking for. looking foward to v 2.0, so i can pick and choose what i want to add back. this could rival my Ruby...
jc
Sense-based, yes? May just want to consider updating the post with some details, as there are folks (like myself) who may only be interested in an AOSP / Vanilla ROM.
Despite removing a lot of the crap, which I definitely applaud, Sense is still running on the phone on top of the Android OS, which in itself takes some (if slight) resources away from speed/performance.
Anyway, it's always great to see a new player in the ROM game...I'll be watching where this one goes. Your minimalist approach definitely got my attention!

Haha, back yours up and install this one, then you tell me :]
I've got some big plans for v2.0. I'm fixing up some stuff right now with v1.0 (found some extra things I can get rid of, ect), but hopefully it'll be released soon.
@mrchambo
Glad you like it! Like I said, I've got some more tweaks I plan on doing to it, seems like it runs great so far.
I agree re Sense...however, the vanilla email app is a pain as are some other vanilla/aosp apps. My daily and favorite to date is Ruby 1.1.4, smooth, compact and fast. i can remove most of the crap i don't want from it myself. but, anxious to try this alternative...

Your right, i'll update the post title.
Also, you're right about sense taking away some resources, but I'm fixing that. Currently I'm getting around 300mb of free ram while idling, which I think is impressive, so I don't see a real need to go vanilla. Plus, people like sense (the few and the proud xD), so I figured I'd keep it. Definitely keep your eye on this one though, have some big things planned for upcoming releases.
is this based on the new OTA leak?
Nick, what kernel would you recommend running? If we wanted to use LauncherPro instead of the stock Sense launcher is there anyway to get rid of the Sense launcher?

Add launcher pro apk in data/app preferably and delete the stock launcher apk from system/app.
Ah, and make sure the apk you put in doesn't have any spaces!

Yes, I listed it as the base rom.
@Ty07allstar
Currently, I'm running the stock kernel. Usually I run King's #5 kernel, but I'm busy editing the rom, so I haven't had time to flash it. I'm flashing it now, though, so I'll report back in a second.
Edit: I was overclocking using king's #5 kernel but I'm getting random closes with the browser.
looks that way, its based off of the leak which was posted 2 days ago
So what the battery life on this?
nick,
tried several times, can't get this to install...any suggestions?

I think megaupload might have messed up on the upload, same thing happened with me. I just reuploaded it and updated the main post. Sorry for that :/ Usually they're not too bad when uploading stuff. Maybe my connection ****ed up when I was doing it. Who knows, but, it's updated and working, just checked it myself
Download it here if you haven't received the update already.
quote via androidpolice
Wow, Google is on a roll with the Android Market lately. Since the release of Market v3.0, a number of small updates have come to the Android Market recently, but this is by far the biggest yet. Google has added the long-awaited +1 functionality to the Android Market (which has been on the web version of the Market for quite some time), along with a few other goodies.
There's a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately). There's also a brand-new Market icon to spruce things up a bit, which you can see most clearly in the Settings menu. For convenience's sake, the size in megabytes of each app, along with its latest update date, have been moved from the bottom of descriptions to the top of individual app pages, which is a very useful change in our book.
Oh, and did we mention you can now use an optional custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have - and really, it makes a lot of sense.

Hopefully this fixes our market woes!
I think I'll lay back a while and let someone else tale point on this. I was burned being and "early adopter" on the last "new" market and I wound up going back to the "old" market, freezing updater and looking for updates manually with AppBrain.
If this works well for others, then I'll try again. All you "red-shirts" fan out and set phasers to "stun".
Downloading now. I'll post with any updates.
No go this is what I got.

Aye aye captain!
Going to try it soon momentarily....
So far, so good. It's so BIG! Not the file size, but the layout.
The "my apps" page is definately different. I just hope it stays put without clearing data.
Still blocking the same apps as before. Back to the old market I go!

I haven't used the new market yet; ill let it update on its own. However, I'm still with a flawless market 3.0.27 after 6 days now, with dpi at 240.
So the question bears asking: why are we (or at least I) fully compatible at 240 and not at 160? What are we missing? Is it a gingerbread thing? Is there an artifact from B&N or froyo hiding somewhere? Is it a CM7 thing?
SOMETHING makes the market think we must operate at 240. Setting 160 seems to confuse it at least until it updates its data, but it is definitely not confused about 240.
So again, my question: why? It makes me wish I knew more about android.
Challenge to anyone: list an app that isn't showing up for you at 160, I bet I can see and install any of them. Would just be further demonstration that market believes we ought to be at 240.
Edit: no I'm not saying we should all switch to 240. Personally I dislike the larger icons. I am saying that maybe we need to find a way to trick the market into seeing 240, while keeping our devices at 160.
Tried Market, Questions about new build.
I tried the new market on my G2 and hated certain elements. Do they still have games mixed in with apps (and its own folder)? If Google finds a way to sort that (like the old market) and perhaps allow users the ability to hide tabs like movies or books, I'd try it again on nook.

Day 7 240 just crashed for me. com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly.
Haven't tried on my nook yet but it fixed all my alignment issues on my phone. Too soon to see if it fixed any of my other issues.
Oh well. Running at 160, "my apps" is a blank screen over 1 night. Guess I'll be clearing cache to use the market still. Not really that big of a deal, but it would be nice not having to do this one extra step.
edit: clearing data
I loaded the 'new' last eve, everything seemed ok, but this morning, my apps are blank again. I have dpi 160.
Can you install Repligo Reader?

OK... when this post first came out I manually installed market 3.1.3 from OP... after trying many combinations I finally came up with the following work around... I have not lost anything in market SO FAR... If this continues to work I will include the additional build.prop edits as a feature of my IMEI Generator.
The following are my ONLY build.prop edits:
Code:
(added at [b]TOP OF build.prop[/b] from IMEI Generator via my !IMEIme.ini):
ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung
ro.product.device=GalaxyS
ro.product.model=SCH-I500
(manually added at [b]END OF build.prop[/b]):
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
ro.sf.lcd_density.xdpi=240
ro.sf.lcd_density.ydpi=240
With these edits... my market is working normally for now AND LCD Density still shows my density set at 161.
More to come one way or another.

Glad to see someone still working on the issue, hopefully this does the trick!
Unfortunately... it didn't... more testing ahead...

Will check when I get home tonight.
Dizzy, can you provide more insight into what you're hoping to accomplish? Did you comment out the qemu line so it doesn't override your following ro. lines during runtime (which as I understand is what the qemu line is supposed to do)?

I am trying to work around ACTUALLY setting density to 240 while tricking market into THINKING it is.
