Here you go

Just download the attached apk, install it, launch it and do the following to add paid apps to the Market:

Go to Set custom tab
Enter 310120 (for Sprint) as gsm.sim.operator.numeric; for Verizon, use 310012
Click on Set to this values
On main window, click on Save current settings

That's it, next time you run Market, paid apps will show up. I haven't tried to download a paid one yet but they do show up.

Enjoy.

Hi, I'm completely new to android and I'm kind of confused as to how I'm supposed to close apps.. it appears tthat the power button does the exact same thing as the end call button. To close things such as the browser, I must press the back button and go through my entire history before I finally get taken to the home screen.
A little help would be much appreciated.

-Thanks

You don't need to close apps like you would in Winmo. You can either hit back until you get back to home or go to spare parts and set your end tab to go home. Android handles it's own memory fairly well, but if you want to actually shut the apps down, d/l a task manager like taskiller or advanced task manager.

I didn't like that aspect either. Apparently you can change the setup by editing some things in the startup.txt or by using a different rootfs. I just downloaded a rootfs file here from the forums and copied it over the default one on my sd card and it automatically changed the controls of the power button. I think manekineko did it. It will allow you to use the power button on the top to go to homescreen on short press and go to all recently used applications on long press. It still wakes the phone too. It's located in this thread here. It makes way more sense to me this way. I feel like the standard way the phone is set up with power being the same functions as end call is stupid, but that's just me.

It is stupid, I agree

. F22 has a thread going on XDA that has some additional options to change in the startup.txt, and hopefully his changes will get committed to mainline soon!

Nice. Mind if I add this to the FAQ? Not sure if I can mirror it or not, I'll probably just reference this post.

Go ahead. No problem, glad I can help.

I'm trying the FX05, it works very well for me.
One problem, I was running Google voice, and got stuck in the setup process, it can't get some settings from my google account for some reason, but the phone just got stuck on that, I have no way to back out of that, the back button did nothing, I had to turn the power off. I didn't try that again, but I do downloaded spareparts and changed the end key to go to the home, because when I use the web browser, after open several different webpages, go to home becomes such a hard hard task with the back key.

I've run GV on every Android build since I started - main reason I use Android to be honest...

I've never had this problem. I guess you could try with a fresh data.img, but I assume that's how you were starting?

Try this. Setup your Google account in "Accounts & Sync". Let it completely sync all your email, contacts, calendar, etc. Then when it's done, fire up GV and let it use that account - hopefully that works better for you.

So this is my first experience with android in general. I noticed that the gmail app is set to push. The email app won't let you configure gmail via exchange like I can in wm. What I really want is to be able to schedule email syncing for every X minutes, and to disable syncing between midnight and 7am (so I can sleep without hearing it buzz in the middle of the night). This is a simple schedule change on wm, but I can't figure out how to do it in android.
