Market Update - G Tablet Themes and Apps

this is for any android device...the market has been updated to include a similar/related tab when looking at an app
if you do not have it yet just clear data(won't erase apps downloaded) in market from manage applications and it should be there
from droid-life.com

didn't have the option to clear data in settings (tnt 2.20) but after reapplying the market fix, was up on the newer market version. adds a "similar" tab, but not sure what else has changed. I had heard the apps would start having ratings but don't see that.

lost market app

I just rooted my nexus today from the androidandme website. I added CyanogenMod-5.0.5.2, once I rebooted though, I don't have the market app, or any of the google/gmail items, where did I go wrong?
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/150-cyanogenmod-for-nexus-one-v5053-03232010/
The add on is on the link at his forum
I had the same problem, but only wanted the market app, is there any way to just get that?
Install the google add on
I don't think you can get the android market alone. G-talk is needed to recognize apps in the download list. Think it best to flash the add-on.

Honeycomb market ID?

I was scouring the forums and found the build.prop for the xoom. I haven't tried it yet but I'm planning on replacing the ID with the nook honeycomb v4 with the xoom id and seeing what I find on the market. For those that are interested here is the relevant sectino of build.prop
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/trygon/stingray:3.0/HRI39/101999:user/release-keys
Wonder if we can get those sweet honeycomb apps.....
GK
Funny you should ask, I just tried it - didn't work.
What's more - the "Top Paid" Apps have disappeared???
I also just tried spoofing as a Nexus S. That didn't work either. Again Top Paid have disappeared.
I think I did everything right - cleared Market cache, force closed, and reboot after saving build.prop
I use WeatherBug as a test case, because it installed fine from the Market on my Autonooted Stock ROM. Can't even see it in HC 0.4
In addition to my previous - when I attempt to install software (that I cannot see on the NC) from the web Market,I get an error message "Unknown PDLogic Zoom2". So even though I think it is properly spoofed in build.prop, apparently it is still seen as something else.
Market fingerprint
I've tried loading both fingerprints on the nook devs site but neither of them are working.
I didn't get any error messages in adb so i assumed it went through.
Also, "My apps" in Market shows "No downloads from Android Market" even though I've downloaded and purchased a few apps.
Is there any other tutorial on how to change the build.prop correctly?
Its the sdk version thats the issue... dont change it in the build prop either, it non-boots

[Q] Unable to download from market with 3G

I have the Droid 3 and recently updated to 5.6.890.XT862 before the push and now unable to download anything from the Android Market only using 3G. I get the orange triangle stating : Download size requires Wi-Fi. Does not matter size of download.
I am able to download via Amazon appstore with 3G. Also once connected to Wi-Fi downloads work fine.
Any suggestions? is this a glitch with the S/W update?
Thanks
Settings > Battery & data manager > Data Saver, turn it off
I love it when its something dumb that I did. Thanks for the help.
I am also on a "pre released" .890 update and now the Market doesn't inform me of app updates.
I was browsing the market last night and noticed at least 5 app updates on my own. Every app was checked for automatic updating, and I checked my Market settings and the "Notifications" check box is absolutely checked! WTF.
That's been happening to me lately. I read about a google maps update and when I went to "My Apps" it didn't have any update available. I had to search for google maps then it had the update tab. It has done this on about 3-4 apps so far that I've noticed.
edit: I just noticed that I can't install any of my paid apps in the market unless I uninstall the market app update and install everything that I want until the market updates itself. I have no custom rom, latest .890, and rooted (no apps deleted/frozen). Any idea's?
edit 2: I turned off my wifi and market is working fine on 3g. I can download paid apps over wifi with older market app but not new market. I can download free apps from the market with wifi on. Weird?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I use a supplemental market called appbrain... A lot of times, I notice when I open that, it finds updates that the gmarket either normally wouldn't have found, or is just slow about doing it's job... :/

[Q] device not compatible

I have searched the forums, and performed some "fixes", but I still can't download certain apps from the market. Specifically Yahoo FantasyFootball this time, but there are others that also say "device not compatible" when I try to download them from the market. Specs are:
Android Version 2.3.3
Kernel 2.6.32.36-cyanogenmod
ROM VEGAn-7.0.0-RC1-Harmony
Build number GRI40
Any help would be appreciated!
Mods:
Should this be moved to a different category?
This is the one that I used. I went through about 5 before I found this one. Been working great for me. Same kernel, VEGAn version and build, hope this helps.
I could not see Yahoo Fantasy Football 11 in Market as well, but a Market fix made it show up. I hadn't done one of these Market fixes in a while, as I could find the apps I needed with a build.prop olympus hack. So try...
Bringup Market , press Home to put it in background.
Settings->Applications->System Applications->Market->clear cache, force stop
Google Services Framework->clear data-> Force stop.
Bringing up Market now should give you an error.
Reboot
Wait a few minutes before bringing up Market after reboot.
Sometimes you need an extra reboot at this point.
This made Yahoo Fantasy Football show up in Market (the new Market) for me. Also some more apps show up as requiring update which did not before.
I am running TNT Lite 4.4

Google Maps Updates no matter what your settings are

I use an OLD version of Maps. It's simple, I'm used to it, so I stick with it.
Recently the Maps app started updating itself without prompt, without me going to the Market and selecting it. It updates despite the fact I have "don't auto update" set for all my apps on the Market app. I disconnected it from the Market in Titanium Backup but that only lasts for a short time as you probably all know. I found a setting in TB where some items were set for auto update and I turned ALL of them off (including Maps). Then today I found it had updated itself back to the current version again.
I've tried everything I know of. I have currently frozen the Market app to see if that will prevent an update. But you know what? I'm sick of this, and I'm trying out Nokia's Here Maps.
Just for update purposes, freezing the Play Market app did not stop a self-update of Maps.
I then googled again, and found a mention of stopping changes to another app by editing the properties of the APK to "read only". I have gone in with Root Explorer and turned off Write Access for the google maps apk. That was one day ago, so I will see how that works. It's apparent that the update must be through the Maps app itself if not some push update from Google.
