Speed up Market Place and Paid Apps Tab

Speed fix for Froyo Roms on MARKET
After playing with alot of Roms one thing i noticed is the incredible slow speed of market loads and searching. LeeDROID rom has excellent market speeds. The attached file is a grab of Market files from the LeeDROID rom and then packaged up to flash.
This has been tried on multiple roms and gives EXCELLENT SPEED WITH LOADING, SEARCHING and even DOWNLOADING. It is also know to give you back that illusive PAID TAB in some instances (has worked for me every time)
Give it a go and let us know what you think. Countrys with no paid apps may not add the paid tab.
Also once rebooted it may take half hour to sync up with Google before you notice the speed. But once its going it is alot faster
ENJOY!!
Install - Flash zip from Recovery or ROM Manager
of course always nandroid first before flashing anything.
I take no responsability for bricks
Big thanks to LeeDroid (and congrats on the new baby) and also dancedreamfly for helping with packaging

attached to the bottom of my first post

any feedback if people are noticing the speed difference here

Does it actually remove the Market or can it work alongside (for comaprison purposes it would be useful to download the same app within each)

it replaces it, could nandroid and compare your two different roms, but if you was suffering from slow market you will notice the speed anyway

Anyone tried this?

I did, LeeDroid 1.6 ROM. It is fast but I honestly don't remember if old market was slow, sorry. But I don't see Paid Apps Tab.

i couldnt tell you, i have only ever tried on Sense Roms, Previous users have told me it worked on non sense roms such as Defrost so I should imagine it would work fine as it doesnt edit any of the framework of the rom.
Ill try it tonight and see but if you wanna have a go nandroid it first and let me know the results

what's the MACOSX folder?

No paid apps on djdroid.UK network..but its super fast and is now giving me the option to auto update my apps

Last version of google maps issue

Last version of google maps keep loosing gps lock, after 2-3 minutes gps connection dropping.. When trying another navigation system, everything is fine.. Anyone has a same? Thanks
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium

Yep same here, thought I was going mad.tried another app and no fix issues, so must be google. Was considering a reinstall off the app but haven't got round too it yet.

What Rom are you using? Google navigation doesn't work on AOSP roms. It's something to do with how information is sent from the GPS to the software. HTC fixed this somehow with sense. But as yet Cyanogen and derivatives haven't. It's what's keeping me using sense based roms for now. :s

The only info ive been able to find has come from this page HERE
Its not just MIUI thats affected, its all AOSP roms. As i said earlier HTC have fixed it with sense, but they arent sharing
Try a sense rom and you'll see what i mean
I cant for the life of me work out which files i need to pull from sense for the fix.
There's a fix mentioned over in the Inspire forums HERE but i couldnt get it to work. It has something to do with "gps.spade.so" at least thats the file thats been mentioned mostly.

Too bad, love my miui rom.. Thanks a lot for respond

I'm on black ice, never seen this before and used to use CM 7.1 and MIUI on my old desire without flaw. perhaps installing an older version of google maps maybe a work around?

I'll try to find older version of google maps.. Thanks..
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium

Found the answer on the CM forums (sorry can't find the link) the problem seems to be related to the AGPS data on the phone. Download GPS test from the market and in settings clear AGPS. Start google nav and everything should be ok...
This worked for me, hopefully the same will apply for you

Sky Go

Hi All
This is my first post so play nice
I've already downloaded the test 0.1.5 app for my HTC One X and for the life of me I can't get it to work. It worked fine on my old XE on ICS but can't get it to work on the OneX.
It will load fine up until I try and watch a video and it just stays at 0% load then just restarts the app. Is there a way around this to either fix it or am I being a complete noob and missed something in the posts. I did look in the other posts but couldn't find anything to help me.
Any help would be great

Check there, there are a bunch of modified apks on various pages. I haven't been able to get it working on mine so far.
You will need to hide root using voodoo root keeper. Only way I could get it to work on my galaxy s2 when I had it.

Yeah found it after, doesn't work with stock ROM. It won't stream. Logs on though

Ah ok then. My Manager at work told to enter wrong password, turn phone off and on then do right password and it works. But don't know if anyone else has tried it. He is on a Xperia S and got it to work with the test app.
Well, guess all I got to do now is sit back and just waif for Sky to sort themselves out, going to miss the f1 tho.

[Q] Google Now for HTC One X?

Recently Google has released Android 4.1 JB with Google Now feature. Can anyone port it to our device? I have been doing some searching through the 4rum and I can only find GNow for Aosp Roms. Thankz

Not yet. Someone has ported the apk and the voice part doesn't work yet due to jb dependencies. Needs to be recompiled for ics so maybe a few weeks at the least.

I've just tried to install it on my HOX (faux kernel, ARHD7.1), using install procedure and APK from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749045
It installed just fine. Even opens (though no swipe from bottom to activate it (as expected) from widget.
But doesn't really work since it can't hear me - Immediately fails when pressing the mic button.
When going to config -> voice, it crashes.
But the real bummer is that it can't find the network! Well that's unexpected, since Android finds it just fine... Perhaps it uses a different 'channel', only available on JB? But then it wouldn't work on ICS AOSP...
update
Ok... It does find it (the network) just fine when searching using text input.
It only doesn't show the Google Now <badges/boards/panels>. Upon opening it gives a toast about the network. Upon clicking 'update', nothing happens.
So it's only a search replacement (with no voice)
But I want to use it for the Google Now features... I installed 4.1 on my GN and it's amazing I want that on my main HOX!

Looking for this too

My one x has been updated to JB, and i can't find Google Now feature...

Jelly bean 4

I have downloaded Jelly Bean 4 for HTC Incredible to test it out. I have noticed that some apps from the market will not download. One app is XDA. When it downloads then tries to install it says "couldn't install on usb storage or sd card". Any help would be great. I would ask the developer but xda will not allow me to post on the thread which sucks too.

It's an alpha version. Expect a lot of stuff to not work yet. You are better off waiting for them to develop it further.

What I did was go into the system settings and then storage, unmount your SD card and then install XDA. After installation go back in and remount the SD card. It worked for me. I am assuming it will work for any other apps you are not able to install

Unmounting the SD worked for me. Thank you.

Jelly bean alpha 4 htc incredible
One thing I noticed is that I am having problems downloading ROMs from XDA using Chrome or the stock browser. I am going to download and install Alpha 5 and GAPPS and see how they work. More to come. I am trying to post as much as possible to be able to post in other test spots too.

Any idea what's different in Alpha 5? No changelog was posted.

Hey Albinoman, I just flashed alpha 4 yesterday and alpha 5 this afternoon, great work! I appreciate all the hard work and would love to help out with development anyway possible.
I did just notice that 'System settings -> About phone -> Mod version' is still listed as Alpha-4. I just wanted to check that I actually did flash Alpha 5 and it just didn't get the version updated. I double checked the zip files and made sure I flashed the right one (did it a second time to be sure), wiped data/cache, etc, but it still shows Alpha-4. Is this correct?
Thanks again, I will be following your ROM closely

Alpha 5 is working great for me so far. Still having some issues downloading apps but I am working through them one at a time. The email app works but when looking at emails it looks off like the stock browser? Is that due to the hwa issue?

Jelly bean alpha 5 htc incredible
Update: The ROM is working great for me. I have not tried bluetooth yet but shall. I am now running ALPHA 5, V6 Supercharged with APEX launcher. Just waiting for the HWA, Camera, and video fixes. :fingers-crossed: More tests to come.

Watching that ROM very closely.
I desperately need my email for work, so I had to downgrade to ICS for now; but I was loving Google Now and the progress made, and with using Chrome, I felt I could get along nicely. I look forward to testing out Alpha 5 this weekend (If its not 6 by then ). Also looking forward to seeing what PureMotive's is like. Exciting stuff!
Very handy work, Albinoman.
