Okay, I am confused.. I had installed phiremod miui rom, and wanted to try running cm7.. I did NOT format data, trying to avoid reinstalling most apps(was being lazy), and everything worked fine..
The market looked as it normally does on my phone, the way it does on 2.2+ roms, green, not very nice for a tablet.
Okay, so looking for netflix, and not finding it for the device, I force closed market, wiped data and cache, and fc'd the google framework, wiped data, restarted(a trick to make stock nook color 2.2 see the whole market), restarted..
And the market was different. Black theme. Different layout. Looked like it was tablet optimized. Clicked apps, and it let me pick from editor picks, or scroll the screen left or right, showing me 3 columns of apps listed under free, paid, highest grossing, etc. So many awesome ways of searching for apps, so much nicer.
It was the first TRULY different market I have seen in all my rom-ing days.
I was going to screenshot it and send pics to a buddy(wish I had), but I got sidetracked because cyanogenmod settings weren't working because I didn't wipe the data partition..
I assumed the market was changed with cm7, and I skipped from cm7.0.3 to rc1 on second install, thinking it would come back.. but it hasn't.(Did the same process as before, fc market, wipe, etc, more than once, numerous restarts, everything else I can think of)
So IS it supposed to be different, because I can't find any reference to it no matter how much I google search. It isn't listed as a feature on the miui rom or cm7 rom that I can see, or on any other tablet I can find.
What did I do right/wrong?
I am about to redo the nandroid backup I did when it was like that, and if it is still like that titanium backup the system app, and take screenshots, just in case it is a weird fluke.. but any answers are welcome. I expect it is a feature I was totally unaware of, but if it is, I would like to get it back or enable it somehow..
Sounds like the new market.

Thanks for the quick answer, I am ashamed that all of my searching didn't come up with that, but I never go to that forum.. maybe I should. Restored my backup and took some screenshots for my buddy, but now I am thinking I should delete this thread(since it could have been avoided with better searching).
Here I was all excited, lol.

Alright so I am looking at rooting and only thing that worries me is if i have to send the phone in. How can i make it look like I did not root it. Is there any downside to rooting and what can I do with a rooted phone. Thanks everyone
It's really simple to make it go back to stock, just use the Sprint RUU in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608434
Downside to rooting might be if you don't have a permissions manager installed you could give root access to malicious program. Haven't heard of it happening yet, but it can.
As for what can be done with a rooted phone, the possibilities are endless...
once you root and flash a recovery rom your all set to go...also do a backup in case. there are a couple really good roms out there, i recommend fresh 1.1 and gumbo kernel. there are some really great themes out there as well. as the above poster said the possibilities are endless and in time we will have as many new roms and themes as the gsm users have.
most important, have fun!
Where can I get the ROMs? I can't seem to find them....and with my luck they are in some place obvious.
There is a sticky at the top of these forums which gives a nice link.
To make it easy, it takes you here:

there is a sticky at the top of the forum that has all of the ROMs in a Wiki site. look there

Go into menu, weather, update and then give it a min. If it still doesnt refresh, put your phone in stand by and come back.

Nothing. The weather widget has no problems and syncs just fine and shows the correct weather but the clock refuses to. I think everything is set correctly yet it does not want to show.

Did you try soft resetting your phone or even removing the widget and adding it back to the homescreen?
both. Neither worked oddly. I dont know...ill mess with the GPS and wifi settings also and see if that fixes it. that isnt the biggest problem ever. If you have any idea on whats wrong though let me know.
I have rooted my phone and I am an addict. I am here everyday for about an hour. You will have fun with it. I recommend that before once you root it and get your first rom installed play with it for a while but dont get comfortable. I have used all the roms available for the hero except one of them. My advice to you is install one play with it them switch and use them all before you start installing all of your apps and customizing it. I have put three hours into customizing my phone with a rom and then Im like ooh a and install another rom and I have to start over LOL. You will have fun if you like to tinker I guarantee it. Have fun and good luck.
While I am thinking about it....can I make my lock screen any more useful. I find this so plain
sorry for the double post but I wanted this to bump up. Clock will not show the weather anymore...anyone have a fix? also any way to put something on the lock screen?
Hey guys, I've read intermittent pieces of advice so far, but I know I can't be the only person dealing with the fact that none of my paid apps are in the market. Is this dependent on the developer or is there something I need to do?

What does this mean?
Google have released an update before adding it's signature to the market?
Seems like an odd way to go about doing stuff to me.
Quite a few apps seem to be missing (drocap, Tower Raiders Gold)
SC
Plenty of paid apps on mine. Did you wipe before installing?
Lots of apps are marked 2.1 only by the devs.. until they get updates they won't show.
Are the apps that you specifically paid for showing up, or just apps that you have to pay for overall?
Both.. I have a long list of old apps that I bought ages ago and don't use any more, plus the usual collection of 'highlighted' new paid apps on the main screen.

As far as I know Google didn't release the update. It was pushed to members of the press and employees at Google. I've yet to see any evidence that it was pushed to a significant portion of the customerbase.
hmmm...I am pretty sure I wiped the data/cache/dalvik cache before I installed but I can try again.

Do you have a "Top Paid" tab in the market? Mine doesn't (see attached pic)
SC
Yes. Same as 2.1, basically..
Yeah I have the Top Paid category. But what's interesting is that when I wipe the device and reboot it, during the initial setup it restores all of the applications that I didn't pay for automatically. I have a feeling that maybe this is the issue, but I'm not sure how to turn that off.
It's supposed to do that for all apps, but it's never worked for me.. I always have to pull them back with Titanium Backup.
lol, thats interesting because it never did that for me before I updated to Froyo.

i see my paid apps but they are an older version. for example MetaMorph only shows as version 1.9 when the current is 1.9.8.5

Same here. With all the ROMs (Stock or otherwise) that I've used I've always had to restore the apps using another program.
all the protected apps are gone..titanium backup is your friend
thats the wierd thing tho. When I tried to use titanium backup to restore my apps it said that it doesn't have root access. Did you have this problem on froyo?
This is a senseless rom. Works great.
You can grab it from here:
http://inc.sodpit.com/roms/ozzeh/
Just installed this rom. It seems to work pretty smooth but when I went into accounts to add gmail it doesnt list it as an option. A big part of the phone experience is having this integration but it looks like it has been taken out. If I am missing something please let me know.
Thanks for the effort!
http://roms.sodpit.com/2010/06/22/unrevolved-zip-by-ozzeh/ you need to install google apps
You can also add your gmail account to the native Mail App but, that takes away from the senseless feel though.
Nice job ozzeh, feels very fast. Very clean.
Btw setcpu doesn't work, does it? (Only questioned your screenshot)
My main question would be, do you see better battery life with the Sense-less UI? I don't really have a problem with Sense in general, other than it seems to run a lot of cr*p in the background, my assumption is this adds to the terrible battery life of the Incredible (compared to the Moto Droid, even when overclocked). Just curious on your experiences with battery life with this rom, might make it worth it.

Silly Questions
But, I am really curious how the facebook / contact integration is without the htc sense facebook integration? Is it the same I like that all my facebook contacts link to my google contacts, but does this option go away with sense?
Also sharing photos from the gallery with HTC facebook, seems like it would go away too, and while I haven't used the regular facebook for some time, I remember it not being as easy and as convenient as the other (i.e. couldn't add the photo and create a new album at the same time, etc)
anyone care to share their experience with these 2 things?
can't get this to flash. MD5 sum is correct and everything seems fine but it hangs at the white incredible boot screen forever! Tried everything but it never works, Oh well.
Try redownloading it through your PC browser or phone browser...it works fine for everyone else so there is no reason it shouldn't work for you...other than an error on your end.
ozzeh, my nandroid backups got screwed up. Your unrevolved rom is my default rom for now, hope it'll support me
Is it possible to backup text messages? It'd be nice to have them persist after the flash

yes! SMS backup and restore in the market or Titanium Back up. SMS backup and restore does not need root but ii recommend it 100%!
For some reason Gmail and Google Talk have the 'unknown' android icon, and they both force close when trying to launch... what did I do wrong? Market works fine. I tried applying apps.zip downloaded (twice) from my laptop and once from inside the phone browser to no avail.

for me the facebook integration is still essentially the same. and i say that because you can still link all ur facebook contacts to google. also sharing is still the same, as the facebook app for android is the same for sense as well. Now, the caveat to this is I came from my sprint Hero phone with no sense and that is how it worked. Also, I have not personally used this ROM yet.

Considering I am having the same problem, do tell, what error on our end would it be? I mean, yeah, the phone was wiped. The MD5s match. So whats the issue?
Its easy to say user error, its quite another to actually help someone out and explain the problem. If you don't know, then don't say it.
I've compiled my own roms for the Moto Droid, and have never had issues flashing them. I think I am qualified enough to flash a copy and paste job.
Is this what you have to do to apply the rom?
1 Download the build.
2 Rename it to "update.zip".
3 Copy it to the root of your phone's SD card.
4 Turn your phone off.
5 Start up in recovery mode by holding Home and pressing Power.
6 Press ALT+W to wipe your device. (You need to do this, or the device may hang at the flashing Android screen)
7 Press ALT+S to apply the update.
One other thing, if this is truly a sense free ROM, I wonder if JIT will play nice with it. I know JIT hated Sense, perhaps someone with the ROM installed wants to give it a try? I'll try it out later if I have time to install the rom.
Just an FYI, I installed it and a bunch of stuff I couldn't find in the market before is there. ( I doubt it though )

Cool.. Just loaded it on vegan beta 5.1. Seems to work just fine. Don't know if I see any more stuff, but never really had a problem finding things with the other ones.
I do notice that the appearance seems crisper. Like maybe they are using a higher quality. Or, maybe not.
Still the same for me. Stars still truncated. Missing apps still missing.
The new apk is about 600 MBA larger than earlier one.
Jim
Just for fun I went ahead and did the market fix again. Didn't need to but I saw the earlier post and was curious. I never could get it to open after the first reboot. Had to reboot again. Then once it started working I have noticed more of the "android.process.acore" errors, and server errors then with the older one. I will be rolling back to a previous version myself since this doesn't seem to really make anything better.
I wonder if there should be an updated GoogleServicesFramework with this?

Works for me
I'm running vegan 5.1 with pershoots latest kernel and here are my findings thus far. I backed up market with titanium and installed the update, immediately opened market. Everything looks to be there, I searched for a few things and installed one or two. I looked for adw and couldn't find it, I did see its themes but not the app. Rebooted, loaded up market no fc's, until I tried to roll back to previous version to look for adw because I am almost certain it was there before. Interestingly I did see appbrain which I've never been able to get before. Never tried market fix, and did not notice any image improvement. Anyone know for certain what to look for to see if it actually improves previous market? I'm going to try and fix my market now and will report back if anyone's interested.
I installed via the apk (there is also an update.zip available) and all working well. No reboot or clearing Google Services Framework required.
I had previously preformed the well documented market fixes but could never quite get the entire market. Everything appears to show up now.
I'm not sure it is complete I can't find a few things. But then again I found a bunch of things I couldn't find before either. Catch 22 yet again.
anyone else having a problem with 'Media Volume' not working after this update? The rocker doesn't work, I tried to go in the settings (I had to unmute and turn the system sound back up - no dice), I even tried to play a video and turn up the sound using the software controls within that program....nothing works.
How do I revert back? Where is the old .apk located?
....also had to turn my wi-fi on with each reboot, which is new.
Running Vegan5.1
I think it would be most helpful if you guys actually listed the names of the titles of the apps that you either DO or DO NOT see once you have tried this. Just might help in the troubleshooting aspect. For what its worth.
ckelly,
search xda for market or vending.apk and you will find many versions to play with
Volume corrected on reboot #2.
Wi-Fi still needs to be manually connected..
@sixvolt
Since this appears to not improve things, you must have had even less apps show up than we did and this update brought you to par with the rest of us. Everything is relative
I installed it, it did great, I restored everything from Titanium, rebooted, and now it will never stop booting. Just doing the HTC with the green indicator "with HTC Sense" on the bottom, and it's doing it for 30 minutes. I brought it into recovery and wiped the cache, and the Dalvik, still the same. I cant get it to a home screen to try laying another rom over it. Any ideas?

All I know of is aosp's asopcmmod or cm nightly. There was probably something in titanium backup that messed it up, you can restore most of your downloaded apps, just keep away from restoring any system apps or associated data.
