I bought one from local carrier Etisalat, it has all the features working except the most wanted one "Market". I tried many ways to enable it but no success. Finally I am able to install the Market and can open it after some errors. But now once I select any app to install it shows downloading and then shows error in notification area "Download was unsuccessful, please try again". Please guys help me out of this issue.
Not sure if it will do any good. But try the market enabler. Maybe faking your carrier will help.
I tried this but this also needs a proper working market application.
In my case the app is not working properly.

Hey, mind me asking you which method did you use to get market? I'm not haveing any issues with market on my tab or desire
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I followed this blog methods:
"[How-To] Enable Android Market
SOLUTION 1
First option is by changing the region.
In the dialer do:
*#272*YOUR_IMEI#
This will bring up a little menu. Select XSG, install and you are ready to go.
!!!!Be warned though, this will do a factory reset and you will lose your apps and stuff.
!!!!If your going to try, backup everything.
Thanks Ayman07
SOLUTION 2
Procedure :
Install a file manager like.Estrongs or Astro from here:
Transfer it with bluetooth or USB to your phone and install.
After installing the File manager.
1. Go to internal memory root
2. navigate to /system/app
3. Locate Vending.apk
4. push on it to install it
It may force close the first time you run it but the second time it should work.
If you still encounter Force Close or download issues, do the following ( you might want to do it anyway as it is sometimes better to start with a clean slate)
1. Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
2. Chose All
3. Find Market
4. Push on it and select Clear data
P.S (you might want to use the attached Vending.apk if the one that is on Galaxy Tab fails)
"
First procedure was not working and then tried 2nd one, Market get installed but not able to install any application. Always getting download unsuccessful error.

I tried that one, there is no XSG or any EU countries code. All are Middleast, turkey etc and I think in all of those market is disabled.
Guys please help me, this issue is pissing me off.

Kenya works, most of the countries there work, I got mine working on Tunisia I think.
now if you want arabic support as well, your going to need to flash the software to the newer UAE one which also has the Android Market
I am in Jordan.
I tried XSG and still have only free apps. I dont have KEN either.
I tried KSA , the Market icon went off... so I am back to XSG but still no paid Apps. just the free ones.
Any suggestions?
Wiz
P.S. Market Enabler did not work as well.
Market Enabler works only if you have rooted your device.

Thanks for your reply... I did install z4root and I had 2 options, permanent and temp. root.. I did the permanent root and tried market enabler (it keeps on saying: Huston, we've got a problem) then tried the temp. root and the same message appears.
When I used the *#272* method, I am currently on XSG and when I've connected my TAB to my PC it prompted me that there is an update, so I updated it and dont have a clue if my device is still rooted or not but yet again, market enabler is not working.
Thanks again for your help.

Dear all.
First off Roto's JME v3 is great. I give it a 9/10. The one missing point is because of the following problem I immediately faced after flashing from my German stock firmware (I don't have this verison # here atm, but can get it later, if needed).
Android Market:
Problem 1:
NHL Gamecenter app not found in Android Market. The app was available to me on the stock firmware but now I can't find it in the market. Not current under paid apps NOR under app search. It simply is not there. It is on my Desire Z and also can be found of my friend's Galaxy S.
Solution:
??
Problem 2:
Not able to download NitroDesk's TouchDown License Key. Program is found but not the key. Was found on my stock fw and also on my Desire Z.
Solution:
Got a license number from NitroDesk. Still unable to find the program in market tho!
I would really appreciate any help as the NHL Gamecenter is THE app I used to use on my gal tab!
Leaked firmware versions aren't know by the android market. To fix this you need to edit the build.prop file. There are several apps who can do that for you.
I myself use Eris Market Fix. Be aware though that the roto packages contains a buggy busybox. If you use that with Eris Market Fix your tab won't start up.
First update your busybox with the BusyBox app on the market place (17.1 is the most stable version) than run Eris Market Fix, reboot your Tab and you're done. All apps will be visible again.
Eris fix is also not showing in market..
Sorry if this is trivial but have you set your csc to XEU. Default is KOR and *could* lead to something like that.
*#272*<IMEI># afair
This will wipe your internal sdcard so do a TB backup first.
I would try that first. No roto-jme has been seen to cause that before...
Cheers,
Hal.

Have you checked your CSC Code?
# cat /sytem/csc/sales_code.dat
Should be DBT for germany.
to change the sales code, you can simply remount the system filesystem read/write ,
echo "DBT" >/system/csc/sales_code.dat
and reboot.

Open /system/build.prop in Root Explorer's text editor on the Tab, change XXJME to XXJK5, or whatever your stock version was (XXJK5 should work fine though), in ro.build.fingerprint. This will allow you to see your missing and protected apps in the market.
You can also edit build.prop by pulling it to your computer with ADB, editing it and pushing it back, but Root Explorer is much faster and easier to work with.
Edit: this issue has nothing to do with the CSE or what it is set to.
Thanks

No just edit the ro.build.fingerprint. That did it for me. I just replaced JME with JK5.

Does it mean that you can change CSC without doing *#272*IMEI# and a full wipe ? Is it working for samsung app as well ?
Interestingly I changed my code from JME to JJ4 which is the original firmware my GT came with, but still wouldn't find b0ricuaguerrero's game. Changed it to JK5 and it popped up.
The idea obviously works well though, cheers!

I can't open then file using the text editor as it tells me it is a read-only file, and i am not comfortable using ADB, any other suggestions?
EDIT: ok never mind i was able to do it, but when i launch the market i only see 2 apps that installed and nothing else....
EDIT: ok i think either market is started to work properly on its own or i may have fixed it but all i did was re-flash JME v4 and so far it seems to work, but sure was a pain in the you know what.......
hi all i installed the rocketrom v7 this morning and well ive been playing and messed something up. i installed ROM Toolbox pro and i wanted to see if i could get dungeon defenders second wave controls to fit the screen correctly so i can play it, so i edited the LCD density setting from 320 to 280 and after the reboot went to make a call and the call dialer isnt full screen any more its less due to the hack.. ive not even tried the game yet but i went back into ROM Toolbox pro and fount that i cant set it back at 320 as the slider only maxes at 280
please advise me on this, is their a solution without wiping rom?
You have root I presume - just edit /system/build.prop - the "density" might be in there twice - change both.
You can edit it using a shell (su root first) or using adb:
adb remount /system
adb pull /system/build.prop
<edit>
adb push build.prop /system
<reboot>

Or just reflash the rom and wipe cache an dalvik cache afterwards and reboot.

worked a charm. set back to 320 and now all is good and new
ps is their a way to set PER app density.. ie have a single app run at different settings, i would like to keep 280 but seen as stuff like dialer/spen/email ect doesn't work well with it keeping 320 default but a few apps like games with a lower value of 240/280 that would be epic for me ?
ps yes im fully rooted mate

The only ROM that can do that is ParanoidAndroid.
You can also just use an alternative dialer, like Go dailer, that is what i do on lower density

Also, if you have custom dpi and want to use stock dialer there is a setting in accessibility to enable one handed operation. This will rescale the dialer pad to full usability again.
V 0.3 of paranoid does indeed have a couple of glitches with GPS (although I upgraded from v0.2 and don't experience it], but v0.2a is totally bug free and well worth a look. In the latest couple of pages on the thread there's a link to someones dropbox for the download. Highly recommend it!

Hello,
I have used the rom tool box pro to setup the lcd to 160 instead of the default setting and now my phone doesn't finish booting, i am stuck at the error message "unfortunately Touchwiz has stopped" disapperas and then another one shows up "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" ... due that the launcher has stopped responding and i had luckily usd USB DUBEG option earlier i could thru ADB reboot to firmware mode taker a NANDROID backup ... deleted dalvik and cache partitions didnt help , and finally did a hard reset / factory default thru the boot loader
result is:
factory reset worked and had to setup the phone again, but the LCD density is still 160, after I finished the new phone setup am stuck again at the above two messages immediately after setup is done !!!!!
What can i do now especially that i cannot connect thru ADB since the phone settings is not set to USB Debug ........
Thanks

Hard reset should have corrected the setting, not sure why it didn't. If you're on stock kernel, don't try it again in case of hard brick. I would suggest flashing again with pc Odin. There have been some people who've managed to create a flash able zip with stock buildprop file and stock dpi, but you'll have to search for that, not sure if it was ever achieved, worth a go.

Hi all!
I'm trying to permanently disable the Samsung Keyboard. The problem is, randomly the keyboard will be set back as my default. If I uncheck the keyboard and reboot the device, it is checked again. I'd like to use swiftkey as my primary keyboard, but not if I have to change back every few hours.
Anyone know how to resolve this issue?
I'm rooted and running Dynamic Kat v4. I have chosen to use the stock keyboard under the roms settings.
Thanks!

Once you installed a different keyboard go to /system/app and add .bak to LatinIME.apk (LatinIME.apk.bak) or delete it, reboot and the Samsung keyboard will not start up again.
As you've rooted your device, you can permanently delete samsung keyboard from system - app..
Better keep a backup first of those files which you want to delete.. So later if you face any problem, so you can restore them..

If rooted, other solution after installing other keyboard (mine's swipe keyboard) is to freeze samsung keyboard by Titanium Backup.
That's what I did and works well.
Best regards
Franky
Thanks for the help all.
I couldn't find LatinIME.apk, maybe because I have a custom rom loaded or I wasn't using the right tool to look for the file. I tried file manager and even windows explorer when connected to my PC but didn't find the file.
Used Titanium Backup and it worked like a charm.
Thanks all!
Hey guys,
today I upgraded to zui 2.5 - currently I'm not rooted.
I downloaded Swiftkey for typing in German. However, every word is underlined in red - because I'm not typing in system language (English) I reckon...
I tried to disable dictionary in GBoard and AOSP Keyboard but without success... Also, I tried to uninstall the dictionary apk (which would solve the problem) - also unsuccessful because I need root to do this.
Is there any other option to disable dictionary except through rooting?
Thanks a lot!
I've tried several different ways. Only MoreLocale2 seems to work. No root required.
Download app MoreLocale2 from playstore.
and adb drivers, zuk drivers on your PC.
zuk-driver
https://www.androidusbdrivers.com/go/latest-usb-driver-windows/
adb-driver
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
then after adb devices are listed and autorized, type
adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
then, in app, change to new locale, and almost the entire phone will be in your locale ... also the dictionary
cheers
