How do I stop the market from thinking I have an I9000? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There are apps that I installed when my phone was running an i897 rom that I cannot install due to running and i9000 rom.
how do I make the market recognize me as an i897 instead of an i9000?
I am guessing I change stuff in build.prop but I am not gonna blindly change it without advice

Have you tried eris market fix? Not sure if it will solve your issue but I have used it in the past and it helped me.

Maybe try asking in the thread of the rom you are on. Someone else may have same problem.

Flash an i897 rom, download the programs you want, backup with TiBu, reflash i9000 rom, restore with TiBu, profit!

What do you guys mean?
This is happening to me as of now with my T mobile MyTouch3g.
I had Cyanogenmod installed and just wiped everything and installed SuperD without the 10mb hack.
Dont know what to do.. only cleared cache for the Market App, but the issue persist.
I appreciate your help!

It's the Galaxy EUR Version that I fixed to stop Bricking Phone's
Ah. so it will flash the radio + Baseband to EU?
Also, one last question.
Were you able to flash back to 2.1 using the stock firmware? with odin?
I heard once you flash to 2.2 EU and you try to go back to 2.1 TMO you brick.

No this Does not Flash the BaseBand / Radio to EU.

This only flashes what is Needed to make an upgrade work with out messing with anything that can Hurt the Phone!

I just wanted to be 100% sure. Alot of people posting bogus firmwares. Great work. Does this do anything for the phone?
Can you give us a video? or something? as in whats better/benchmark etc.
I may flash it if its worth it. But, i prefer to wait on stock TMO if its nothing that crazy,

Eugene is a respectful developer and I'm pretty positive that his work is beautifully done and he wouldn't publish any "bogus firmware" in any form.
Start using the edit button rather than double posting =/
This is badass ill try it out tomorrow.
Does this run a lot snappier? Some of the Live wallpapers on the 2.1 are 'fidgety' when moving through screens
I'm a bit nervous to do this without a more detailed step-by-step instructions lol
Does this ROM have JIT? I had read some stuff about that not being in some of the roms that have been leaked.

Most likely it doesnt. This is based of the same EU 2.2 ROM that was showing low Linpack scores. Of course it is an APLHA or BETA build so thats to be expected.
Most update.zip's for the Vibrant at this point only FLASH System, Data ,data, and cache partitions. I don't think anyone had taken the time to test writing recovery or boot images though the update-script which is what tells the system what to do with the contents of the said update.zip.
Thats another reason they are so safe is that they dont replace the KERNEL/RECOVERY or BASEBAND/RADIO which is a safe move.
Good work Eurgene.
OP Updated with the ODIN file...
Installing...
Extract the .zip file
Open ODIN Flasher, Select the Pit File.
Select Eugene373_GalaxyS_Froyo_PDA.tar
Select start..
Great work Eugene. Sorry to doubte you
Do you have any video of this running? or can tell us if it helps? benefits/non-working etc?
Thanks!

[Q] New Youtube app

Hi,
I was trying to download the new Youtube app that came out a couple days ago, but installation keeps failing. Im using Rodriguez's CM6 rom.
Wondering if the issue is with the ROM or some other issue Im not aware of, i know i have more than enough space on the phone.
Any help would be appreciated.
Uninstall the YouTube app with titanium backup, reboot, then install the new one.
10000000 to 1 odds you're running a custom rom

Wow, I am a tard. Completely skipped over that part.
Regardless, every time I see some one with a problem like this, it is caused by running something other than the stock rom.

Try installing JM1 firmware with 512 pit and re-partition enabled in Odin3. Then update to Clockwork Recovery and install your Mod .zip.
Ppl disagree but I used to have the same problem as yours but now its working. Give it a try and let us know how it went pls.

Thank you very much brittosa , Im giving it a try right now.. will report back ASAP... If this solves it... U have made my day.. BIG TIME!!!!

Oh and @ Rawat.. Why state the obvious... ??? lol
Same happened here, above fix shall repair it. My problem, Cache was corrupted but System wasn't...
try going to settings -> applications -> manage applications -> Market and do Clear Data and then Force Stop. worked for me
Is it dalvik cache problem? or is it ROM problem? Have you tried to install the latest version of market? Search for it.
hey. i had sane problem, tried to repartition with jm8 and then flash to darkys rom again, same problem, the market would not update to the new one. but on stock jpy it would update. iam using docs rom now, everything ok

Really glad it worked. I had posted this fix in Darky's thread and many - including Darky himself - swore that this would never work! Hope the others with this issue try this out too.

Installing lagfix?

Hello, i have one piece I9000 running on 2.1 and flashed it with ODIN to 2.1 JPJG8. I now want to install lagfix on it. Can someone instruct me how to do it?
what type of lagfix do u want ? there is a simple one called 'one click lag fix' (OCLF) available in market. or there is voodoo or speedmod.. have a look in the android development section you will see them all in there

Which one to you recommend, im running on 2.1 version JPJG8? ALso, give me link...thank you.
Well checked the site you recommended and found OCLF ok...I wish to install Stock ROM using ODIN. After that can i just root the phone and then install lagfix?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756 - this is speedmod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823300 - this is voodoo
i use speedmod but i am not saying that is the best one, i have also used voodoo, they are similar but it all boils down to personal choice there is no best / worst
also read through the whole thread before going ahead with it, make sure its compatible with your device and make sure you know how to recover if something goes wrong.
Ok, thanks for the info bro...i'll check out your link

Lol, even I've forgotten mine because I bought it from Orange....I think all the 2.2.1 works...mine is I9000XXJPU(I've tried to flash I9000XXJPY, but failed )anyway, no need to recall back your original firmware, just take any 2.2.1 firmwares and flash it...but be careful, because there are possibilities to brick your SGS even though the risk is small....
Can you recommend any 2.2 european firmware i can flash with? I dont want 2.2.1 since i think its risky.
