I downloaded it.... but its not in the app list? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok so, i downloaded RSS Reader on my phone a while back, someone msg me on the site and wanted it as well, so its no longer on the market (unless the name changed) and its not in the application list. Its under widgets... i wanna help this person out cause i've been helped out in the past so its only right....any ideas?

If it's a widget then long press on the home screen and select widgets and scrool to see if it's there.

it is there, i still use it, i just don't know how to find it so i can give it to this guy/girl

This thread will be closed for i can see the near future on where this is gonna lead.
If ANYone contributes by his/her words of how to distribute paid apps to the unauthorized owner, well, lets not find out.
Find another site to ask this question, or a different way of asking it.

If the widget is still installed it's still in the app list. Sometimes apps in the apps list aren't listed as "App Name" but instead as com.designer.app.description. If the app hasn't gone paid the developer may have pulled it for some other reason. You may be able to find some info about said app, find other apps on the market by said developer and have your friend contact the dev to request a copy. If the app has gone paid and is listed on the market as such and you and your friend really like it well then it's probably worth the $0.99 or w/e their now asking.
As for getting it from your phone to your friends I fear the wrath of Mikey1022 and therfore have conviently forgotten how it's done A little searching should provide you with the know how...

lol its all good, i don't even know the person that msg me, but i figured since i come on here and people have helped me wether directly or indirectly i wanted to help someone out too... but w/e the app was free by the way but .... your the MOD

I'm pretty sure its okay if I write this...
Do this in terminal:
cp /data/app/* /sdcard/App
take all your apps from your phone + put it onto your sd. Find the widget and since its free give it to the guy/girl. Mikey don't kill me.

Forcering app?

There was an app on the market called forcering, it was used to turn the ringer on the G1 on if set to silent and maybe misplaced. You would send a codeword sms to the phone and it would switch from vibrate to full ringer. The app is no longer available, I was wondering if maybe someone had it and could upload it on here.
I was looking for this app also, I couldn't find it anymore? I'm going to search internet and see if I can find the apk
I have just re-imaged my phone and am missing this app too. If anyon has it, please upload it.
I have a feeling though that it will resurface later this month when Adroid Market will introduce paid apps.
is it even possible to put the package of the app on here without the use of the market?
dude I was beta testing for stericson and lost it too

I found the app on the internet but could not find it in the market:

i have the force ring backed up on my memory card.. but im not sure if i can post it since the dev. took it off the market ..

I say post it, or email it to me, the app is very useful. One of my roomates still has it on his G1 because we havent rooted it yet. My other roomate and I have rooted and since lost the app and would like it back.
I'd really like a copy of this as well. Sending you a PM, Dave.
Please post it, or I'll pm harass you!
i would also like this app after i finally modded my phone to rc30 i lost every thing....please pm me...thanks in advance.

Disclaimer- This was downloaded for free Via the Android Market and backed up using Astro if the developer would like me to take this off then i will take it off
thank you agian...i really like this app I used this three times the first time i had it...
your welcome and btw did it install for you ?? i never re-installed any of my backed up apps
i'm curious as well, did it work, and if it did, do we need to push this app in recovery mode. never pushed an app on my phone except the market so not sure how to do it
hbguy
Use adb install, not adb push.

New app...4 home screens, two tabs and widgets!

Just posted on AndroidCommunity.com. I downloaded the Demo and in love....very cool, check it out

Thanks doooshty,
You beat me here
I plan on releasing dxTop : The Android Home Alternative this weekend for $3.99 and I'm hoping to get support from developers to write widgets for it. I posted a how-to and a sample desktop widget that graphs memory usage. These is also a demo version available on the site to try it out and use to develop widgets.
Also, I want to make sure I can sell it. I've read the Apache 2.0 license and it looks like all I need to do is provide a link to the license. Is this correct?
If you have any comments, please let me know what your think!
Cheers,
John

Demo = Love
I will gladly give you my $4.00...you can even keep the change.
THis is the kind of thing I was expecting to see from android...you sir have delivered.
I just down loaded this it force close after I set it to default. Then my phone wouldn't
Reboot I had to do a wipe.
Qtonix
I've been running the demo now for a couple of hours and I'm convinced this the best app yet for the G1, paid or free. MasterBaron, you sir are a very talented developer and I'll be eagerly awaiting the paid version in the market this weekend. I will also post my 5 star review of dxTop on as many Android forums as I can find. Keep doing what your doing. and thank you so much for extending and greatly improving Android. You have my $4, and I hope you get rich from this app.
I installed it but the "launch" link after installed was greyed out and i couldnt find it in the app list but i could uninstall it from the manage applications settings... what am i doing wrong?

Yes, press the home button and it will ask which interface you want to use. DO NOT click "Use by default for this action" until I come up with a recovery mode in case dxTop crashes.

cool got it, this is awesome! but hows the battery with it? any change that you noticed? and how will we add stuff to the second tab?
I cant wait for full version! will definitely pay!
is it me or does it overwite the clock that u have on the theme?
Did anyone elses wallpaper cropping get messed up? I wasn't able to choose the whole image to crop. I tried with a few standard size wallpapers & 800x600 wallpapers but it never let me choose the whole image.
I tryed again without selecting default and I still had to wipe as I couldn't get off the force close box. After a reboot it it started force closeing again and left the phone unusable.

Yeah it did on mine as well. Great first step much love for the app. I liked it but will wait to see how it comes along before buying. Its simply too young right now but with all the potential it shows will definately buy in the future as it progresses. Great work!
maybe it should be in beta for a bit longer until all the bugs are worked out- beta testers galore..... so idiots on the market don't start voting it down.....
To be honest the only thing that I really would like to have are the widgets and they will be available on the standard Android with 1.5.
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the best app in the market, very very good, i love you, please im from south america and i have no access to paid apps, put a webpage to buy the app, thanks!!

Should be no change to battery life.
his tab is your recent/running apps tab, they appear automatically when you run apps.

You have to be quick, press the force close, then the home key as fast as you can. I'll work on a recovery option.
I understand you wanting to earn some money from this app, and I would glady pay for it, except that I'm in the UK and we still do not see paid apps.
Did you think if how you could deliver the app to non-US residents?
Wow, this looks extremely promising, very nice indeed!
Please please please make this paid app available outside of the market, somehow, because a lot of us are in countries where paid app support is nowhere to be seen. I figure the UK etc will get in on the paid app action soon enough, but for the rest of us, in countries where the G1 isn't even considered by the operators yet, I fear the wait will be long. Too long.

Beautiful Widgets Won't Download.

Alright. Let me lead off by saying I searched google and this forum and I couldn't find the answer to my problem. I have found the "answer" to my problem that has worked for other people but not for me. So let me explain my problem and the solutions I tried. Any help would be appreciated.
I bought Beautiful Widgets from the market place. When i go to download it, it says "download unsuccessful". Let me make clear that i'm not rooted (or ever want to be) and I'm running 2.1-update1.
Solutions that I've tried..
1. settings > apps > manage apps > I cleared data in the "Download Manager" and cleared cache in the "Market" section.
Basically i took this advice, http://androidforums.com/samsung-moment/38687-problem-beautiful-widgets.html, it worked for that dude, Didn't work for me.
2. I've restarted the phone a few times and that didn't work.
3. I refunded my money, and bought the app again, didn't work that time either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Edit: I gave this a new title because paid apps do download, just not beautiful widgets.
Can you install any app at all or does this affect all apps?

this only happens to paid apps. After all of this happened, I successfully downloaded beautiful silent widgets (or w/e) in the market and it was free.

Do they take apps down when they update them? Just curious, after you answer that i'll give an update after I find out what the problem is.
A dude on #android on Efnet IRC has the same problem.
He tried to buy it, said it went successful, then it was authorizing purchase for a long time.
Then got stuck, then Google issued him a refund because of some server error.
Now, when he goes to his downloads, it says Beautiful Widgets still says "purchased".
The BW author is on twitter all the time. I talk to him time to time. I think it was yesterday he mentioned that there are problems with his server and discussing with the powers that be to get a new one. If you have a twitter account, you may try him there if you havent sent him an email already.
hum - having exactly the same problem.. says purchased, click install, says download unsuccessful.. Followed the cache clear and made no difference..

I have emailed dev - but no reply..

Sorry I don't have an answer for you, but Beautiful Widgets caused problems for me anyway. Constant freezes and crashes. Overall slowdown of everything. I'm back to normal after uninstalling.

App that spoofs carrier codes for Market?

I had a little app that would change the carrier code sent to the App Market, so that it would think you coming from AT&T, T-Mobile, or a bunch of other carriers.
I flashed my flash, and now I can remember what the app was called! I do remember its icon was a little green lock unlocked on the left side. Can someone help a brother out and point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Market Access
The app is called my market.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Thanks for the suggestions, but neither of these is what I had downloaded. The app I was using was black-themed, had three tabs, and let you apply different 6 digit carrier codes. It didn't access the Market itself. You still used the Market App, but the third option at the top was no longer AT&T... it was "downloads". It would also allow you to backup values, etc.
Anyone?

Market Enabler (another Program) and Market Access BOTH do this, however, Market Access allows for you to spoof on Boot, so that you essentially only need to spoof once.

Please from now on, use the search tool on the forums. I found the answer in 2seconds by searching "Market Restrictions"

Thanks Dave, but I was using the search function (and google) quite heavily with no luck. The key word I was missing was "Restrictions". I was using things like carrier codes spoofing, market carrier, etc and spending a lot of time looking in the different Markets themselves.
Thanks for the link, but I'm not sure the scolding was necessary.

You've probably found it, but I think you are looking for Market Enabler.
It's icon is a green "ME" in front of paper bag. It has 3 tabs: "Actual", "Settings list", and "Set custom"
Thanks for the suggestion for Market Access warri, it'll be nice having it happen automatically.

May I enquire what app is it that you are trying to get by appearing to be on another carrier. I installed my market and it did allow me to do this, but looking around and pretending to be on another carrier did not reveal any great sounding apps at all. Most of what I saw was bloatware, or apps to check your account information, and look for things like the WiFi hotspots for that carrier. What is it that you are wanting to get, that is unavailable to us AT&T folks?

Amazon Android App Market won't let you sign in fix.

Ok, this worked for my on both my MyTouch 4G and My T-mobile Samsung Galaxy tablet. First off go to http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011 with is the site where you download the app from. Click on your name and go to your account settings. Somewhere on there will have a list of devices that you've used to sign into that app store with. Even if it's the same device, it comes up again or if you change roms it comes up as something else, there is an option below each one to deactivate it. When you click deactivate device, it will disappear within about 15 seconds. Do so with each one. I had about 20. I deleted every single one of them. Then I sent the email to my phone and tablet to download the amazon app store again and I installed it on both devices, and they both work fine now. I know these directions were kinda vague, it's because when I went back to look where it was that you see all of your devices and I've already deleted it. So look around in account settings and on the page where you enter a phone number or E-Mail, it sends the link too download it. It worked great for me, If someone else can do this and explain it better than me, feel free, any other questions, I'll try and help the best I can, [email protected] .
So basically go to that site on the link that I provided at the beginning of the post. Find where all your devices are stored, it's on the right side, click the button that says deactivate device below it, and it about 15 seconds it will disappear. Now delete EVERY one of them. All of them. Then put in your phone number or Gmail address then re-download the app-store then you should be able to sign in fine, let me know how it works and if someone can explain this better than me please do,
again I hope this helps, It should work on all devices,
Knotrkr
I hope that helps you guys out,
Patrick.
This worked for me, and I just went into application settings, did a force stop, clear cache, and wipe data. Then re-started amazon app store, signed back in, and it is working fine again.
just open all your lines and it will work..

thanks again!
Thank You Patrick!!!!
OMG! This has been driving my crazy! I even sent an email to amazon- they couldn't help. A simple general google search brought up your thread Patrick and it was a great fix My work around was just reinstalling the old data from titanium backup. But on my new galaxy nexus I didn't have any backups for it. Your fix Worked like a charm! I am a happy camper thanks to you Patrick. :victory:
Did I say thank you???
