Do a nandroid backup first!

Enables a full market for Droid Eris users only, must have root and be using a rom based on the Eris rom (Ivan's,  sense-able etc).

If after patching, you do not have a full market either wait for the cache to expire, or do a data and dalvik wipe.

A donate and free versions are available.

Thanks, if i get enough I am going to buy an eris so I can actually test apps on them myself. This was a pain of a project without one.

Uploaded new version. Haven't had any complaints on last version but wanted to tweak a few ui things.

Also, if it doesnt work let it sit over night. Seems to be clearing fingerprint cache at midnight.

First off, Thank you AGAIN jcase for the hard work!
I tried the patch, re-booted, but still don't see the skype app in the market. Am I misunderstanding the availability of skype for our phones running root? Is it still unavailable for our phones because of the "unofficial" running of 2.1? I was really hoping this market fix would help.
Can I ask what kind of apps you guys are finding, that you were unable to before the patch?

 

[hattrick]

Skype is on there. Did you give it time to let the fingerprint reset?

 

[TheAtheistReverend]

Oh, yeah...
There it is
I didn't wait very long. I always get more than a little impatient when I get excited.

 

[jcase]

Thanks

I am having a hard time forcing the fingerprint "cache" or whatever to expire. I found a way, however I don't like it. If it becomes and issue I will implement it, but waiting normally works.

To test if it worked you and issues this command from adb shell

cat /system/build.prop|grep finger

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.1-pdate1/ESE81/29593:user/release-keys

If it matches that, then the patch is applied

then

getprop|grep finger

and check if it matches, if it doesnt then your cache has not expired.



Fyi, 250+ downloads of free
14 of donate.

I'm working off the original code you posted on xda. It working fine so no reason to change. But I'd like to compensate you for your great work. If you PM me your Paypal I'll send a donation.

 

[jcase]

Thanks but I don't have paypal setup at this time. Useable feedback is greater compensation than money. I appreciate that much more.

Stay tuned...

Once the app does the fix...can it be uninstalled? Or does it need to stay on the phone as an app?

Yeah, it could be done by hand without the app but its far easier with the app.

 

[ludionis]

Jcase, I appreciate the work you have done on this and other projects.

Installed the free version, and was instructed to search for "US Bank" to test. I get 2 results, which is supposed to indicate partial market requiring this app.

Installed it several days ago, and reinstalled it just to be sure. I have root access, running Stock 2.1 Rom with Root Access [followed directions at http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/19/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-droid-eris/ to achieve my root status].

Have wiped the dalvik cache from root menu, waited days, no effects. Any suggestions I can take to achieve full market on my phone?

 

[ludionis]

Thanks, I RTFM, did dalvik + hard wipe, nandroid backup/restore and it works awesome!!!

Do you need this for every rom? I an on vanilla droid v1, I get 3 results for us bank...

This app is more or less obsolete with current roms. Only needed if copy protected apps are not being displayed, apparently like the rom your are using.

 

[Bill_S_Preston_ESQ]

I am using 2.1 official rom. Just downloaded the 1.4 donate version. The app is just sitting at the SU request screen no allow or deny buttons on the screen, just black.

 

[jcase]

Turn USB debugging on.

 

[Zynnis]

Ok quick question. Im using kaosfroyo 35—1 and can't find skype. Will this fix it?
