How to - Repushing the Vending Preferences file ?

[Guest Ash_786]

On one of Paul O'Briens tweets he mentions

"Rooting has let me fix my 'slow market' issue on the Galaxy S by repushing the Vending Preferences file... hurrah!"

Anyone know how to do this ? Can't find it by searching and I did ask Paul O'Brien without anyluck.

You'll need adb, root and busybox, download this, open a terminal / command prompt to the location you downloaded it to, ensure 'Market' isn't the foremost application on your device then...

adb push vending_preferences.xml /data/local/

adb shell

su

busybox killall com.android.vending

busybox cp /data/local/vending_preferences.xml /data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs/[/code]

And you should be sorted!

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately market still takes forever to list.

I hope others have better luck. Instructions could possibly do with changing to delete the existing vending_preferences.xml file before trying to copy.

Tried this fix as well. market still takes forever to list items. only on this phone for some reason.

There's now a script in the custom ROM to do the Market Speedup for you.
