Root Limited Market on CM7 uSD

[colchiro]

Have you been flashing the latest gApps? The June version has the older Market and you can download and flash it from Rom Manager. (Click the "make backup" checkbox tho. )

Bingo!

Next nightly: Set LCD Density = 160 due to broken market (android_device_bn_encore)

CyanogenMod nightlies changelog for Encore

You should probably make a new thread so that everyone is likely to see it.
Either way glad I could be of help even though I didn't do much

Would this work on a rooted stock nook? what all market problems does it fix?

I wouldn't flash the stock rom with this. The build.prop file might be different.

It's easier to just edit the file and change this line:

ro.sf.lcd_density=161

to:

ro.sf.lcd_density=160

oh yeah your right this is for CM7 only. Get me the stock build prop and I'll make one for that too if you guys want

Sorry for double post

According to joehammer this gives you back the download button and adds a menu for tablets... I cannot confirm this, I don't have a nook.

Sounds like a winner... changing the file colchiro posted does the same thing?

To edit your file manually:

Before you do anything, go into Rom Manager and make a recovery backup. See my Phiremod or CM7 rom install guides on how to do that.

Changing this value to more than 240 can cause your NC to boot loop so care is required....

Get Root Explorer from Market and scroll down to system, and tap it to open it. Then at the top, tap the [ r/o ] button. It'll change to [ r/w ] so you have read/write privilege. (If you're using a different editor, you'll have to figure out how to get read/write privilege.) Then long-press on your build.prop file, choose "edit".

Scroll down until you find this line (bottom section in CM7):

ro.sf.lcd_density=161

Tap to position your cursor at the end of the line and carefully change 161 to 160:

ro.sf.lcd_density=160

When done, tap the menu button, choose "save and exit" and tap the top button in Root Explorer to change back to [ r/o ] and reboot.

There are other programs that let you edit system files, but you need one that uses root since this is a system file that can't be edited with some file managers.

Can you comment on how to change permissions to R/W in ES Explorer?

Just got my hands on sis's nook again... In ES i first navigated to the system directory then went to menu>settings, there is a check box for 'root explorer' upon checking there is a check box that says this feature is in beta. Below that is a check box that says 'mount as drive' (something like that) and that it would make this directory writable. As soon as i checked them both I got the SU prompt to allow... once i did that it let me copy the apk's to system/app and install amazon and a few others...

FWIW, Market seems good on Nightly #200.

I had that in mind when I threw this together: Quick'n dirty upgrade your CM7 using Rom Manager
