Hello LYN members,
Aloha to all Android users. You guys are among the most daring Malaysians who dare to switch from the common iPhone. I have been using HTC Hero for a few weeks now and I have to say, Google has done a GREAT job on their OS and HTC integrated it perfectly!
I'm not usually active on LYN because usually I'm here mostly for purchases. However, I would like to share my love for Android with people of my country too. I'm done with iPhone who keeps coming up with upgrades that does not meet my needs. Android does it best and all you have to do is just dare to change.
To those of you who have rooted your HTC Hero, congrats. I will also need more friends so we can help each other together to develop the Android community here.
For now, if you guys have gone to the marketplace, you guys must have realized that you can only see "FREE" apps and the paid apps are not displayed at all. The reason for this is, Android Marketplace is designed dynamically to offer paid apps only to the country that they want to support. This is analyzed using the provider band that you are using.
There are several ways to do this hack. Before this, I had to develop a custom userinit.sh file to change the band, but now you guys have an easier option. Use Market Access.
To do this, download this application:
Download Market Access
and install it using your file manager. You can download the ASTRO file manager or Linda File Manager from the marketplace (both are free) to install this app.
Once you have done that, run the application. In the main interface, select "Backup Settings" **VERY IMPORTANT!
Once you have saved your settings, go to the second tab, and select "T-Mobile [US]" (its my favorite). Tap this and a menu will load. Select "fake this provider now". Thats it.
Now, go to your Android Marketplace, and browse all the paid apps which might desire you
Once you are done marketing, to enable your actual network provider as your provider back, go to Market Enabler, and hit "restore" and then exit the application. Thats all. Alternatively, just restart your phone and Android will reset your network to its original point. Nifty eh?

It stated there "You need root (superuser) to use this application. It looks like "su" is not available on your device"
