[FIX] Slow market on froyo (SocketTimeoutException)

[Guest RatSon]

This post is a duplicate from the original XDA thread

i'm not sure /data is writable in non rooted devices, but on rooted ones the following command has to be executed:

adb push vending_preferences.xml /data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs/

in the directory where you have the correct vending_preferences.xml

i used the attached file from the first page and tweaked a little bit to make market database refresh after next start.

please note that market shall be closed before this new file is pushed. no phone restart needed.

xml content:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
