[PATCH] Bug fixes > Froyo V5 *7/27 leak* (Fix: Browser, Gmail, Market, Stream Audio)
Figured it would probably be worthwhile to roll an update zip with the fixes for the leaked Froyo release which have been identified thus far.
Patch contents:
Fixed force close issues with the browser when interrupting a page load or loading a URL out of email/RSS and hitting back. My patch will replace the browser with a deodexed version from the Evo 2.2 official (but pulled) release, which eliminates this issue.
Streaming audio fixes. This is NOT the same as the build.prop change found in other threads. The patch will replace the stagefright libraries using versions from the Evo OTA. As a result, the fix will not degrade Quadrant performance and should solve the streaming audio quality issues present in the original leak.
Market fix for missing apps. Changed build.prop such that the phone will identify itself as an N1 running Froyo (credit: adrynalyne).
Gmail app replaced with working version. The version included with the leaked ROM is terribly broken (such as adding 0s, not being able to open labels, etc). Patch will replace it with the latest version from the N1, which works great.
Superuser reverted back to 2.1, which despite generating sqlite errors in logcat works more reliably than 2.2.2. Should eliminate the issue with root elevation requests taking a long time after first booting.
Installation:
Apply the zip via CWM as usual (can be re-run anytime, such as for updates).
Be aware, this patch will clear your Gmail and Superuser data automatically. Thus, your phone will download your mail again and you will need to approve apps requesting root (only after first applying the patch).
Changelog
Version 5 - Fixed streaming audio and reverted superuser to 2.1.
Version 4 - Fixed browser force close issues.
Version 3 - Updated Gmail to 2.2.1 and automated install process completely.
Version 2 - Fixed Superuser so that permissions persist.
Version 1 - Initial release.

thanx for this
Worked. Thank you.
Thanks, much appreciated!
RMK- Thanks for this.
There is an issue after applying your patch where Superuser permissions does not 'remember', and reprompts on every SU required app... And yes, 'remember' is checked.
My super user is doing the same thing, won't remember any prefs.

same here, was you problems after the patch or before?
Is there any way to fix the 3G from not coming on on reboots? I've had this probelm a few times now? Wonder if its widespread?

Ugh, yeah, confirmed.
Looking into it now.
FYI, this patch does not include the fix to disable the stagefright media player in build.prop, which is supposed to fix the crappy sounding AAC streaming audio.

my gmail app force closed on boot. couldn't restart it even after reboot.

Version 2.2
Updated version to fix the Superuser permissions not persisting properly, sorry about that guys. Go ahead and just apply the new zip file on top of whatever you have now, will work just fine.
As for the media streaming change, that was intentional for reasons already mentioned. You're trading one problem for another, streaming quality for performance. Anyone who desires that "fix" should have no trouble applying it to the build.prop included with my patch.

No that I am aware of. As fixes get released for these issues and are confirmed to work I'll incorporate them into this patch. But yeah, nothing for the 3G issues right now.
GMail force closes and will not under any circumstance load up... Dang good thing I backed up the previous version.
UPDATE: Clearing cache Helps but It blanks out every so often and says "Your e-mail will display shortly". I'd rather have a 0 in my e-mail. Can't wait for the official update because the version in the Leaked ROM is very promising.
I have done the Market fix several times already and have fixed most of the missing app problems, except the voice and video plugin for yahoo IM. I always get the "requested item could not be found" message when i try to update the app. I cannot run the IM apk without the plugin. Can someone please send me or upload the 1.4 version? Thanks
Also if you must ask i have used other IM apps that allow you to chat etc but have not found one other than the official app that allows you to do voice and video plus send and receive files. Ps. I also used the search bar with no success.
I am having the same problem. It will be great if someone could post the apk file.
Thanks.
Read this and try it, it might for you also.

Remember to do the regular fix after making the changes.
I tried the steps in the thread you pointed out. But that doesn't fix the problem. I posted a reply in that thread and I will quote it here also
vcheenu said:
I tried the fix and it didn't work for me. This is what I did
1. Mounted /system are rw
2. Modified the lines ro.build.fingerprint and ro.product.device
3. Remounted /system are ro
4. Started Android Market and browsed around a bit
5. Chose Settings->Applications->Running Services
6. Under the Running tab I can see 'Market' and 'Google Services' but not 'Google Services Framework'. . I can see it under 'All' tab.
7. I followed rest of the steps instructed in the youtube video rcgabriel pointed out in the initial post.
What should I run to see 'Google Services Framework' under the 'Running' tab? Could that be the reason for the fix not working for me?
Thanks.

If you have an android phone download YM with that and then use Bluetooth file transfer also in the market for free on both your gtab and android phone then use that app to send the app from your phone to the gtab..
I would upload the app for you but I don't have my tablet with me to bounce the app from phone to tab to here.
That worked like a charm. Thanks a lot for the suggestion.
I have attached the yahoo_messenger and plugin apk if someone wanted them.
Glad I could help!
Thanks to you both! Downloaded and it works great!
stock rom
will the posted apk's work on the stock rom? I have version 1.3.2 (both the ym and the video plugin), but the video icon shows up disabled. Is this a newer version? Thanks!
Yes, it is a newer version (1.4).

I had force close errors every time I initiated video. I downloaded your Video apk and it fired up first time. Thanks for posting. Really helped a lot.
Thanks!!
Downloaded and installed fine on the G-tabrunning vegan-tab 5.1, but then popups keep saying it doesn't support this device every time I actually try to play something. Crap, the hardware should easily be able to run streaming hd video. Hope one of the XDA developers can fix this...

It runs and streams content just fine on my stock Incredible running 2.2. And I have the app running on my gTab which is on Vegan 5.1.1, I just can't stream anything. I think its just a matter of Netflix only allowing a certain devices to access their servers and our tablet is not on the list (which is only 5 devices long at the moment).
Sorry for the double post, but I found this fix quoted from Android Police in the Incredible section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13738814&postcount=44
I don't know if it will work on our tablets but it changes the build.prop file to make the device report itself as a HTC G2.
No love with modified prop

No problem. I literally just a few minutes ago got the market working properly on my tablet by modifying the build.prop and I really don't want to mess with that file anymore unless I have to. I want to keep my market working.
But thanks for trying that. I figured it was worth a shot. Someone hopefully will eventually find a work around.
Working great on the Droid x! No luck on the gtab. Running overclocked,on 2.2.

Fortunately, my Nexus One is supported. Works fantastic on that. A buddy has the newest MyTouch, won't let him even install it to that. However, both of our Vegan 5.1.1 Gtabs let us install, no go on playing, gives the popup.
Of course, it works on my 3.7" display device, but not on my 10" display... BOO!
Netflix running on my G Tablet
My G-Tablet is running CM 7.0.3 with Pershoot's 2.6.32.39 CM7 Kernel
I sideloaded the Netflix App then moved it to the SD card.
I am running the 10.3 update of Adobe Flash Player (not sure if this is relevant)
I modified 2 lines in my /system/build.prop file as follows
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
REBOOT
Netflix is running smoothly on my G Tablet now.
This is a combination of fixes found in other device forums here on XDA.
I hope this helps!

I tried this on mine. Running Vegan-tab GE with standard kernel. Dumps me back to the queue. I wonder if there's something else I need to change in build.prop?
+1 on editing the build.prop... i can confirm it works... From what i'm reading around on other forums this is only working on gingerbread roms, if at all.. so if your still on a froyo base rom you may not wanna chance screwing up the tablet...
As far as editing it i used File Expert.. turned on the root functions in the app settings... then found the system folder checked it's box hit Menu->More->mount... changed the permissions to read and write... u may have to mount the file the same way too... copied it to the SD card for editing.. changed the required fields.. go back to system folder rename the original build.prop to build.prop.bak so u'll have a backup in case something goes hinky... then copied the edited back into the system folder... reboot...enjoy...
Haven't noticed any adverse effects yet market is good thus far...tegra dedicated apps show up still so I'll take that as a good sign

Another confirmation of working on CM7.0x (I'm still on 7.02).
Installed the app last night, it just allowed me to view the queue after logging in, also saying "This device is not compatible"
I edited the build.prop as described and ran the app and it now streams. SWEET

Same thing happends to me on Vegan Tab GE hope someone figures it out.
Can one of you with a working fix copy and post your build.prop? I want to compare the CM7 build.prop to the vegan-tab and see what's different.

Hmm not working for me.
Running CM7 nightly from 0508 (64 maybe? Not sure)
I sideloaded Netflix
Changed my build.prop as listed above and rebooted.
Loaded up Netflix and didn't get any 'device not supported errors'
I tried to play a video and the screen turns black but the video never plays. If I try to seek to somewhere else in the video netflix will shoot me back to where I was before I started the video.

Second this. I'm so close in Vegan Ginger. Sometimes it'll even play some audio before dumping me back to the queue. Ahhhhhhh!

Download the apk, install it. Avoid play store, it's going pointless crap errors. As for the second part. I heard that Broadcomm released some drivers, so there is a chance, but I might be wrong, or even if I'm not, it can take quite some time to start working with them.

Missing Native Libraries
Hiya,
This is caused by the Snapchat APK not having the libscplugin.so and libsccrypto.so native libraries within the armeabi-v7a folder.
These are required in order for the application to sign the login requests.
I'm not sure why they haven't included them in that build, must be something to do with the Android M ABI configuration.
I extracted the libs from the APK downloaded from Google Play with Lollipop and then Android M.
The Lollipop APK has all of the required libs in armeabi-v7a folder, and does not include an x86 folder.
However, the Snapchat APK downloaded via Google Play on Android M contains an armeabi-v7a AND an x86 libs folder...
The issue here, is that in the APK for Android M, the libsccrypto.so and libscplugin.so do not exist.
This is what is causing the force crash when you press the login button.
No idea how long it will take Snapchat to fix this, but since this is a preview build of Android M, it could be an issue with Android M itself, not sending the correct device information to Google Play.
Cheers,
Liam Cottle

You kind of have to go with the expectation that some things just won't work right when running a preview
I was having the same problem, but the newest version of Snapchat (9.13.0.0) and the beta (9.13.2.0 beta) work fine on Android M Preview 2.
I have tries the latest beta. It doesn't seem to work for me. I've only been able to get 9.9.00 to work for me. What's your setup. I'm running stock preview 2.
I'm on stock m preview 2 latest beta works fine
Okay so I discovered that it won't let you log in on the latest but if you're already logged in then you can update the app and it should work.
So just download 9.9.00 and log in then update.

I did this on Preview 2 without realizing it and it worked, but then installed it from the Play Store after flashing Preview 3. I ran into the same problem on the new preview, but the same workaround solved it.
I just did a 100% fresh install of Android M-preview3, and here's the steps i took to get Snapchat working on my phone.
Downloaded Snapchat from the Play Store, v9.14.1.0
Tried to login; Force Close!
Uninstalled v9.14.1.0
Downloaded v9.9.0.0 from Apk Mirror
Installed v9.9.0.0
Tried logging into the app... Login successful!!!
Went to the Play Store and updated the app to v9.14.1.0
Ran the app... No force close!

I've got the same problem, looks like Snapchat doesn't support the old versions anymore, so you are forced to update the app, but when you do it you can't log in because it crashes.. You have to wait until Snapchat fixes the bug. I am going back to Lollipop, can't live without Snapchat
