I do not care about original apps any more ..How can I get market back?

I have tried to find your other posts, have you changed the internal card? If so, what size? That may be why original apps are missing.
If you have, read this thread

I don't think so.
(I just chimed in because of what you mentiioned about the error on factory apps is the same thing I found when trying to use a 32GB internal. The partition that the apps are trying to be written to is corrupt, so the additional apps are not there for the shortcuts on the desktop to work.)

If kewlguy could get it so you could use a 32GB with 30GB as Primary partition 0 FAT32 for data, and Primary partition 1 as a 2GB FAT16 for the apps to install to, that would be PERFECT!

I don't think he ever got unequal partitions to work, nor has he been around here much for several months.

I have flashed market file and nothing has changed..so i did factory reset....and then I made a big mistake....When I connect PDN to computer it shows drive F for external sd card and drive L for PDN..I accidentaly deleted everything(3 folders) from PDN..then I could not even open a home screen in my PDN..luckily the flash duplicated files to my external sd card so I send them (more then 3 files,music,photos...) to PDN internal card.
So now I have all old icons on the screen colored (before they were just android guy icons) but when I click them they say that applications are not installed.
I have even market icon (android guy picture)..I have tried to sign in but I am getting a server error.
Available space for internal storage is 653 MB.
Should I start all over with partition file?

maybe someone could look at what he changed to make the 1 partition work, and go from there. Even if it is a fixed size, not a auto detect. I do not know ANYTHING about linux, but I'll look.

He never made one partition work with SH20 FW to my knowledge. Have you tried your 32 gb card with S10 FW, it seems the problem is with it creating a 16 bg FAT16 partitition for the secondary partition which of course doesn't work according to your reports? Since S10 likely just has one FAT32 partition, I suspect it should work. Why does it create a FAT16 partition, is that all Linux can read? If you revert to S10 FW to try, make sure to follow the proper procedure to avoid a flash loop.

If this is occuring in the booting, then that script is what would have to be changed to make larger internal cards work with SH20 FW because it will overwrite whatever is created. Of course, I'm not sure if the FW can install and read apps from something that is in FAT32 even if the boot script was changed?

My recommendation is to go to Kewlguys thread at the top of the FW development forum and follow the instructions in the first post to install the SH20 firmware with GAPPS or market only.

Either card works, but it is somewhat safer from the external should something happen during the flash.

Great, sounds like you got market working!
