Installing now, thanks.
For those wondering the app pack just is an application that contains market links for the following:
imeem Mobile
Phonebook
T-Mobile My Account
T-Mobile Mobile backup
Movies by Flixster
Shame. I want that offical Facebook app. Any word that this is the legit one that will come with the MAGIC?

Sherpa and Facebook app doesn't show up because it's probably not "released" yet. When the MyTouch 3G officially launches, then it'll show up.

Champions,
Hopefully by now you’ve had the chance to make your myTouch reflect you, inside and out! Today, we’re excited to announce that the new T-Mobile ‘AppPack’ is available for Champions, including the much-anticipated Sherpa application. In addition, ‘Work Email’ Exchange support has been issued broadly. Set up instructions for both are included below.
With only 3 weeks left until the launch of myTouch, we ask that Champions continue to lead by example and learn the phone, explore the marketplace and showcase how you’ve personalized your phone with your teammates. Let’s make this phone the most popular employee phone on your team!
AppPack
The AppPack, a “super app” that houses a number of T-Mobile recommended applications, is now ready for use. You can download it by clicking on this URL from your myTouch device and following the below instructions: http://www.tmoapps.com/Documents/AppPack.apk .
Applications include:
· Sherpa
· World Tour (Previously Le’ Tour Eiffel)
· Visual Voicemail
· myAccount
· Hotspot Locator
· imeem
· Movies by Flixster
· Facebook
· Enhance Phone Book
To ensure the download and installation is successful on your myTouch:
1. Select: Menu >Settings >Applications. Check the box to allow install of non-Marketplace apps (i.e. "Unknown Sources").
2. In ‘browser’ type the URL: http://www.tmoapps.com/Documents/AppPack.apk.
3. Select the AppPack.apk and install.
4. Once downloaded, the AppPack icon will appear in the App Drawer.
5. Select and drag the app to the Home screen.
Please note: You will need to re-download at the time of national launch, August 5. Again, this is a unique customer experience for Retail Champions that gives a “sneak peek” at these applications before launch. At launch, customers will receive an SMS with the link to the AppPack and be able to download all of them directly to their phone from the marketplace.

All,

Can someone with a MyTouch build.prop enabled test the AppPack and see if the other apps show up?
EDIT:I'm doing it...on JACHero 2....whatever the latest version is.... and the MyTouch build.prop
EDIT2: Still the same......needs mytouch market APK(diffrent code?)?

I don't think he does, I think his rep does. Hence being a rep
Well, I work for an exclusive third party retailer, i.e. I sell T-Mobile phones and service, but do not actually work for T-Mobile, and we have "Reps" that are sort of our ambassador to T-Mobile. They give us info on new phones, features, system changes, and what not. Perhaps that's what he is refering to.

If the Sapphire rom is out, why can't anyone pull the .apk out of there and upload it?

Nice find. Great app.
I keep searching but can't find this app on the market through my phone. As I live in Malaysia, I'm wondering if it is restricted to certain countries only? Is anyone else in other countries having problems finding it in the market?
While on that topic, does anyone know how the market identifies which country you are in? Via Geo-IP? or the installed SIM card? Is there a way to bypass this and download the .apks ?

i search and cant find.. not even on cyrket...since its linked i think its linked directly with the market
yes, im guessing its GeoIP bull crap ...(i really really hate that, being that im a native english speaker not living in the UK or the US, (living in panama) and endup getting all pages loading in spanish)
either way, setting a proxy "might help" i want this app just did not have the time today to test out setting up an http proxy on the phone (accessed option through anycut shortct) but it did not work.. so im guessing setting up a proxy on your router "might" work thats if u use a usa proxy.
i might just wait till someone downloads and posts the apk file here
The only thing I noticed is that its kinda quiet... Anyone else come to this conclusion? I have my phone volume & media volume at 100%. Other than that, its an awesome app!
Was waiting for Pandora but I have an account for both so it works for me

and searching last <space> fm in the market does not bring anythign up for you either??
once i get time im going to try and hook the phone through a usa proxy from one of my servers and see if the market brings up more apps
I had the same problem, then I saw it on the list of featured apps and I downloaded it. Strange I know. Just try to refresh the list of featured apps until you get it, it might solve your problem for now. I do not reside in the US, so It might not be a location issue, unless the featured app is an oversight!

thanks for the tip, will try, still hasn't popped up for me on the featured apps, though the market must be filtering applications based on geo location
though now we know the featured apps is exempt from that filter (for now)
hehe ... it appeared on Featured Apps in the browser and I quickly grabbed it. Playing fine now.
Could someone attach the APK?
Could someone attach the APK?
I grabbed mine from the Featured items as well. Why the heck does the search not work for some apps? MyMaps was the same.
I love this app. A lot.
Only down side: there is no exit option. and my task manager app wont kill it either.
other than that it is awesome.

This is actually a characteristic of Android and not the Last.fm app in particular. Android (as well as some other embedded operating systems) is designed so that app lifecycles are managed by the os, not the user. Working as intended.
jashu - Yes, I know that android will monitor apps and close ones that are not used for a long time, I actually like that. What I mean is that the last time I used the app was Friday when I was at work, came home, left my msg here and today (Sunday) the app is still running. I do not have it playing anything, it is not looking at my catalog/library or anything else. When I use the task manager app to close it, it pops back up.
On the imeem app there is an option to logout. When you logout it closes the app as well - internally to the app, not Android closing it. So I think this can be written into the Last.FM app as well, yes?
Not a ding against the app, just something to be aware of.

Hey,
I also can't find the app in the market (german provider with an uk RC8 JF1.41 phone). So can someone please post the .apk somewhere?
there is an update for the last.fm client
think it scrobbles now
but.......
i cant update it... so i guess i have to look for it on featured apps again, then re-download...
the app seeps not to show up on wifi , and on some providers on data plan
let us know if ur able to snag the updated file
Last FM apk
lol i jsut came back to edit
was able to snag the update file...
thnx anywayz !!
Does anyone have a workaround for the Android Market country restriction?
I wanted to download the official last.fm client, but apparently it's availability is restricted to a handful of countries, and the .apk is so far not available anywhere else.
Could I somehow adjust a setting in my rooted G1 (ADP1.41) to make it appear as I'm accessing the Market from within USA? Can I make use of any of the free web proxies available, by editing a config file on my phone?
Thanks,
Christopher
When it shows in the top of feature section, you will be able to download it..
I've been waiting for it to appear in the Featured Apps bar for three days without luck. :-(
So a more permanent fix/workaround would be preferred...
Thanks,
Christopher
Hi,
Unfortunately, I think the Market restrictions are tied to the SIM card in the phone - not anything in the phone itself.
I bought my G1 in the US, unlocked, for use with a UK sim card. When this SIM card is in the phone, I couldn't get to iSkoot amongst other things, but if I put the US SIM that came with the phone (note this was not tied to a dataplan or activated even for voice!) I could then see and download iSkoot in the marketplace over WiFi.
Regards,
Dave

So I tried the obvious - removed the SIM and started the phone with just wifi connected. No problem accessing the Market, but still no last.fm personal radio application... Could be the phone remembered that my SIM was Norwegian, or that the SIM left a footprint somewhere.
Man, this is irritating.

im actually looking into setting up a proxy on the phone when using wifi, for some reason its not working
if its not showing up on the top, what i had to do was power off and power on and then it came up.
i think the guy above me pmed you the apk, if not let me know and i'll PM it to you.
Fake IP or fake region for Tmobile G1
I have a G1, I live in Vietnam. I know there're iskoot, truphone, linda file browser, and some awesome software on market. But I can't find them. My friend lives in US and using Tmobile, he can find and download them. Why? I paid 400 bucks for a new phone and Tmobile don't share me software from market. Please research this and develop something to help poeple not using Tmobile and from another country.

Actually the decision to restrict to country is purely by the developer of the software in question. T-Mobile isn't involved.
Here is an ongoing thread in the apps subforum discussing the matter:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476160
yeah not very fair to you!
hey people, can anyone tell me why I can see ALL the apps and install ALL of them?
And tell me which is the app that restricted to region so I can try to see?
Im using my G1 in Vietnam with Viet Telco simcard.
as jashsu said, this is all on the dev.
however the "restraints" are there for a reason,
remember android is a "baby" the forecast for the market is (imo) when its up and running each country's devs are going to have paid apps for their region...
im guessing its to differ from the iphone store thing, sux but we still really dont know how the market is going to evolve...
a quick work around.
disable data
turn on wifi, and set a USA (or country of the app you want to get) proxy on your router (since im unable to see or find were to do this on the phone itself)
and you should be good to go...once the phone gets a USA IP everything shows up.

Just for reference, some possible reasons an app might be region restricted:
-Licensing: Apps may serve or contain content which the developer licenses from a third party. The terms of the license may limit the distribution of the content to certain regions. A common example is music streaming in apps like Last.fm and imeem.
-Export restrictions: The exporting of certain technologies, in particular cryptography, is subject to government regulation.
-Support: In order to support an app, the developer will have to account for factors like user support and managing bandwidth. Reducing the number of regions to distribute simplifies the task of properly supporting an app.
-Localization: An app that only gives the weather forecast of cities in China obviously has little purpose in the North America region. The developer may not want to expose it for users outside of its intended geography.
Ok, this was my first app on the market. Basically it's a window that lets you enter a search term and select a search or just a URL and it will open a browser to that page.
So far I have:
Google
Google Images
Google Maps (Uses Maps app)
Wikipedia
IMDB
Amazon
Ebay
Android Market
(Youtube coming soon)
If you have any other search suggestions, please post them. I will be happy to add them!
Check out the app on the market! I have a free version and a donate version for $1.43 (So I get a buck). It's rated 5/5 so far (I'm quite pleased)
I find myself using this app more than any others
Many have asked for an On Screen Keyboard, and I've been researching it, but I don't really know how to make one. If you have any tips regarding that, that would be awesome.
Anyways, enjoy the app!
UPDATE: Custom searches added.
Very nice, very useful indeed! I have always been a bit annoyed by having to start the browser up and go to the site I want to search and wait for it to download and render before I can perform my search. Can take 10, 15, 30 seconds before I even submit my search. This makes it so much easier!
Great app, man. Thank you!
A suggestion for improvement would be for the users to be able to add "custom" search strings. I frequent a bunch of sites that are too obscure for you to add to your app, so an option for me to add my own search string would be great.
Say I want to add a custom site, like blocket.se (a Swedish classified advertising site) and I know the formatting for a search on that site is http://www.blocket.se/li?q=<search_string>
Now let's replace the string we enter in the text field with an operator, like %s :
http://www.blocket.se/li?q=%s
Which would perform a search of that particular site. When adding a custom site we would need the following dialog.
Name: [____________] <-- Where we enter the name of the custom search
String: [____________] <-- The formatted URL
[Save] [Cancel]
Sorry for unloading this on you, I do realize a feature like this won't just happen by itself, it takes many hours of coding to make it happen. Feel free to tell me to bugger off if it's just not something you feel is right for this app.
Cheers!
No, I actually think that's a fantastic idea. Right now the search drop down is just a static array of names and the urls are hard coded in. Unfortunately, sharedpreferences doesn't support arrays so unlimited custom searches might not work, but I could let users put in 3 or so. I'll get on it over the weekend. Sorry for thinking out loud haha.
And I'm glad you like it
Maybe custom searches would be a good feature just for people with the donate version?

Three custom ones would be great too, no doubt! Thinking out loud is a great way of giving an idea some structure, and if you in addition to that can bounce an idea off a couple of other people it usually turns out great. A bit of brainstorming.
I would definitely pay a few bucks for custom search strings. Unfortunately I can't access paid apps yet, probably because I'm on a dev phone and in the wrong country. I could drop a few bucks off on your paypal account though, if you have one.
Have you put the free one on the market yet? I don't see it posted, only your paid version. Not that I won't pay for it, I'd just rather check it out before purchasing
I would like to try it out too, and since I don't have a Google Checkout, I can't. I would rather donate by Paypal if you have an account.
The free version is on the market as well (it's a bit older). Just search Go To Url. If you do feel like donating, there's a button on my website(www.nickkarstedt.com) that has a paypal donate button.
Answers.com would be nice as well.
Good thinking.
Ok, just updated the donate version this weekend. I added search history (Works like the browser's history, but is stored seperately. You can disable and clear it).
Now for the big feature: Custom searches.
You can now add and delete as many custom searches as you want. You can even delete the default custom searches (so you can reorder them).
I'm going to add the option to move searches up and down on the list for the next version. Until then, you'd have to delete and add.
Loving it!
The search string is always added to the end of the URL we enter (when we add a custom search)? Nineteen out of twenty times this is not a problem, but on some sites the formatting of the URL is a bit different and the search string is not placed at the end of the URL but rather in the middle of it.
Still, I love this app. Makes searching so much easier when you don't have to wait for websites to load/render.
**Edit: One thing I have noticed is that if you open the app up in portrait mode, select a search in the list and then switch to landscape, you have to select which site to search again (it defaults back to "Go To URL!" mode). Not a big problem, just something I noticed just a minute ago for the first time
Many have asked for an On Screen Keyboard, and I've been researching it, but I don't really know how to make one. If you have any tips regarding that, that would be awesome.

Yeah. I really shouldn't try to appeal to whiners... but I need more stars! (And cash! Cash is always nice!)
I notice you're using a generic Windows Run icon for your app. Not sure if you're interested, but I made a dedicated "Go To Url" icon (mostly because it goes better with my theme), which you are free to use should you want to. Either way, here it is.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Awesome! I could use that one for the paid version, looks very spiffy.
Also, I think what I'm going to do now with free/donate versions is just keep the free version a release or two behind the donate version, just so those who pay get it a few days/a week earlier. I don't like the idea of limiting functionality.
Got that free users? You'll get your custom searches and history soon enough.
All I'm working on right now is changing the custom urls to use %s instead of %url% + search term. If you guys have any more suggestions, lets hear em!
Is the "nag screen" asking you to go to the market supposed to show up every time I start the app? It says "THIS MESSAGE WILL ONLY BE DISPLAYED ONCE" but I get it every time I start it. And I alreday have Blocked! installed
Ah! That's what I asked you about in the PM! I updated it on the market, I'll send you a copy of the fixed version since you can't update.

I used this for almost 3 days now. It's the best AIM app for Android by far, but it drains the battery fast. Besides that, it's great.
It seems a little laggy and definitely uses more memory/system resources than eBuddy. I'm leaving it installed, but I'll be sticking with eBuddy for daily IM usage.
It uses a lot of battery, and signs out when the phone goes to sleep. I constantly find myself having to re-login.

It keeps me logged in 24/7 (unless I'm on the phone and I lose 3g connectivity, but then it would log me back in when I get off the phone and regain internet connection), but then again, I am running 96mb swap.
keeps me logged in...I have it excluded with Advanced task manager...then again, I haven't put the phone down since I installed it...lol...
but so far the best AIM app...doesn't use the dictionary unfortunately so typing can get annoying, not sure if that's a KingKlick Eclair rom issue or the app itself...but all in all 4/5 is def a proper rating...could easily be 5/5 if I could remove the damn livestream and its tabs completely..not a lot of settings though.
I keep it excluded aswell in Advanced Task Manager, and I've been using it all day, and it's gone out on me multiple times, and I spent a good 6 hours with full 3g coverage, so I know it wasn't a matter of losing data. Even or wifi I lose it, and I have wifi lock on aswell to keep it from disabling while going to sleed/stand by. And I have a 128mb swap, not sure what that would have to do with it logging on or off...
I've been using HiAIM beta ever since I got my phone. It doesn't disconnect me unless I'm on the phone (which is normal). I like the interface a lot more than anything else I have used (I turn off bubble-style chat).
nice! great that aim finall released for android. i am currently using helloIM which is great and i think better at this point than this one. but helloIM is no longer supported by its devs i think, so i have a felling official AIM will be the one to use for the future as they update it more.
I heard on the news that Facebook chat will be available through 3rd party IM apps like yahoo messenger and AIM.....can anyone confirm this?

It's already working on my aim.
Link your facebook to your aim screen name with the latest beta desktop aim client so when you log into AIM with the official app, you can also log into your facebook chat.

Great! Thanks a million.
It looks nice, however it is a mega battery drainer, my phone also heats up quite a bit but that may be because I'm listening to music at the same time. Does anyone know if messages sent through this application to cellphones count as messages or date?
[AIM can also send text messages, im wondering if they count as texts or not]

It looks almost identical to Community Hero Mix, but slightly different (especially the battery indicator).
iVisionX01, how did you get your data indicator to display "H" instead of "3G"? Or is that included with the ROM?
My apologies gentlemen I have a Nexus One. I'm using CyanogenMOD 5.0 w/ the Smooth Black Bar Theme.
Interesting, I didn't know that the H was included with CM5. I'm requesting that he also make that change for the next release of CM4.
Name: Fim (Facebook & Google Talk Instant Messenger)
Fim is a Facebook chat application for Windows Phone 7 that gives you a simple way to instant message with your online Facebook friends.
Fim does not require 3rd party registration or 3rd party access to your personal data.
Tips:
* If login fails and you have non English letters in your password, change it to English letters and numbers only
* Touch and Hold (aka context menu) on a conversation to clear chat windows/close permanently/copy paste messages/open profile/pin user tile to start menu
* Disable the "view previous conversations" option for faster login & less data consuming, you can load manually for each conversation in its context menu
* Scroll the login screen to see all preferences / activate push
* In case you didn't know: currently wp7 apps doesn't run in the background, so unless you activated push notifications for fim, its impossible to stay online if you are navigating to the start menu or to another app. It is possible though to stay in when the device is locked, in order to achieve this, you need to check "Run Under a Locked Screen" in settings
Push notifications guidelines for Fim
* Notifications will only be enabled after a successful login in the app itself, please allow ~20 seconds for notifications to activate before leaving the app.
* If "Tile Notifications" is enabled, don't forget to "pin to start" Fim
* Keep in mind that notifications might not be available at all times
* There is a limit of chat messages that will be pushed, it will reset after re-login using the app itself
* There is a limit of time that the notifications server will hold your session, please sign-in using the app itself every couple of hours
* Make sure you have approved Fim as a facebook app (browsing http://app.mosko.mobi should read "Success")
* If you have never managed to receive notifications on behalf of Fim, or had both side-load xap & Marketplace version installed on your phone, try to remove the end points entries from your phone's registry (search the forum for this procedure) or "factory reset" your phone.
Questions / comments / bug reports are welcome.
* please post on this thread, and not on a private message
* report any error messages you got from the software
* when reporting first check if your question hasn't been asked or your bug hasn't been reported yet.
* make sure you have installed the latest FIM version available on the Marketplace
* don't forget to mention your type of device, os/rom version and type of internet connection used.

enjoy
Using now, great to have you on the Marketplace, and an official one at that... Glad if anybody was going to be first, it was going to be you guys...
Works quite nice, good work keep it up:d
Only thing so far that I would recommend would be, once I wake from sleep, to show a "Resuming..." screen like other apps, and continue to leave me signed in, or sign me in again...
I dont see this app from my HD7 marketplace. I am from France

Yea, just gotta override the Application_Activated/Deactivated events in App.cs. Pretty easy.
Anyway, I like it. What it does, it does well. Looking forward to more features. The autocorrect keyboard (InputScope="Text") and the ability to close conversations would be high on my list.

thanks for the InputScope tip! will implement..
a version with the ability to close conversations already on its way to the marketplace
regarding the application_Activated, nothing more i can do then auto sign in, since there is now way to maintain the active facebook connection, no?
When do we get this for other marketplace like UK, France ?
