laymil has posted a much better script for this. As such I will be discontinuing my work on this for now. Not for any hard feelings, but because it is now beyond me to help any further.

As always I am glad to have helped the community in some small way. Thank you all

CHEERS

Geniusdog254 Posted the exact lines in the build prop that needed to be changed. This is a pretty common fix for problems like this between versions of Android. There was some concern however that you may miss some of the newer apps released only for Froyo. I wrote some simple scripts that will fix this for us.

Simply: One puts the Froyo build.prop on your phone. The other puts the modded build.prop on your phone.

Prerequisites
YOU MUST HAVE GSCRIPT INSTALLED
YOU MUST HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED

(IF YOU ARE USING PAULS FROYO ROM FROM HERE
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=686631
IT DOES NOT HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED

Also--
There are now 2 downloads.

One will reboot your phone automatically

One will not!
(I recommend this one for anyone that has problems, or doesn't know ADB well.)

Installation

Code:

Download the attached .zip file

Place the "buildprop" folder in the root of your sdcard

Place both "Normal_Froyo.sh" and "Modded_Froyo" files in the gscript folder on your sdcard

Code:

Open Gscript

Press menu and select Add Script

Press Load File button

Select Normal_Froyo file

Press Save button at bottom

Repeat for Modded_Froyo file

After that all you have to do is open gscript and select which one to run.

Normal_Froyo will give you stock froyo build.prop and let you see froyo only apps

Modded_Froyo will give you the market fix build.prop

You can also create shortcuts directly on your homescreen for each script if you wish

-----------------------------------------------

I've decided to skip the update.zip, I've found no way to copy the scripts to the gscript folder on the sdcard this way.

I'm going for an app instead.

P.S. I've never written an app before, java looks like russian to me lol. So if anyone has any tips, or knows any good tut's let PM me and let me know.

------------------------------------------------

fixed no buildprop folder

added NON-autoreboot download.

buildprop switcher v0.3.zip ORIGINAL
buildprop_switcher_no_rebootv0.3.zip NO REBOOT
buildprop swticher v0.3.1.zip DOWNLOAD THIS ONE

When the file is unzipped, there are 4 files - No Buildprop folder. Now I get the part about putting the two .sh files into Gscript folder.

Do I make another folder called buildprop and put build.2.1 and build.2.2 inside?

OR

Do I put build.2.1 and build.2.2 onto the root of the SDCARD?

So sorry lol Didn't notice until I was making the update.zip that I didn't put the other files in a folder IN the zip. Just make a folder on your sdcard called buildprop. and put them in there.

BTW testing the flashable update.zip method right now

Right.. the checkin service runs on each reboot. So it is not needed.

Dayzee · Jun 1, 2010

Worked just fine, but I did have to do the checkin thing. Possibly had poor signal but checkin hadn't done on reboot. Worked fine after that...

Can the checkin method be used, instead of rebooting? I'd much rather switch back and forth via checkin rather than having to reboot.

Thanks.

The reboot is built into the script. On my phone, if I checkin, the apps still don't show till I reboot. But show if I only reboot. If checkin alone works for you though, you can remove the reboot command from the script.

I'm not sure what happened, but after following the instructions exactly, my phone crapped. It got as far as the first nexus logo (non-animated), then the buttons lit up and I got a black screen. And that's how it stayed.

Any ideas?

Dayzee · Jun 2, 2010

This worked great for me

I also solved my (unrelated) prob with SlideIt by forcing the dictionary to save in the settings, so I'm no longer bothered about losing shortcuts stuff on a reboot.

Dandy!!

watercool · Jun 2, 2010

tested again with a second n1. works perfect! automated checkin works perfect.

Mikey · Jun 2, 2010

Can you please post what changed in the .prop file.
Also you didn't add the video codecs in the "new" prop file

Mine did this as well, though I am unsure why just yet. Been busy all day.

The only thing I changed from the stock to the "modded" build.prop were these 2 lines
from this
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2 FRF50 38042 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF50/38042:user/release-keys

to this
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.1-update1 ERE27 24178 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.1-update1/ERE27/24178:user/release-keys

I didn't add anything else to these. If you would like other things added to the build.prop files. You are welcome to edit them yourselves, or let me know what things you want changed, and I can include them.

I can make it user friendly. With descriptions for each modded line, then you can simply un-comment the options that you want.

PS: I thought I had the flashable update ready, but the update-script is giving me problems. ANYONE that wants to help please let me know. I'd really like to get this out to everyone.

This is a great find, inductions were perfect and easy to follow. Not one issue getting all my paid apps back! Thank again!

To anyone that can't get thier phone to boot all the way after doing this

Its not a big deal. Your phone booted. But the build.prop didn't get copied before the reboot.

If you did a nandroid before you tried it. Restore that!

If you didn't, OR you know how to use adb. Do this

Code:

adb remount

adb push [COLOR="red"]/path/to/build.2.1(or)build.2.2[/COLOR] /system/build.prop

adb reboot

I hope to have this fixed quickly.

followinginsanity · Jun 3, 2010

ANYONE WHO'S PHONE WILL NOT BOOT AFTERWARDS!

Check and make sure you put the files in the right place.
build.2.2
&
build.2.1
go in
build.prop FOLDER ON YOUR SDCARD

that was the only reason I got the error, i deleted the files off my card when i was testing the flashable update.

If you still get an error. open both files in the gscript folder, and remove or comment out the reboot line. Then tell me what error you get in gscript.

So I did this and am able to see the new apps. When I reboot the phone I cannot see a bunch of old apps in my launcher. I revert to the normal script and reboot again and still cannot see a bunch of my apps. Appbrain says theyre installed and I can open them from there but no widgets or shortcuts for them

Any Ideas?

Are those apps moved to the SD by any chance? If so, best bet is to go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Find your launcher, and force stop it. Should work after that.

Nope they're not on SD. I'll try the fc of launcher.

Ok it worked thank you! but my xiia widget still is not back and I'm assuming others. Anything I can do for the widgets?

Ok installed and reinstated the app. Works great thx again.

Update:
Ok after another reboot, apps don't show again. FC the launcher they come back but not the widgets.. Grrrrrr...
