i hope this isn't a stupid question... - myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games

Will a HTC magic from Rogers be able to access and download all of the apps available on tmobiles app page if its using at&t?

Not quite sure what you mean by T-Mobiles app page.
The phone will run any app that is written for the version of Android OS it is running (ie 1.5, 1.6 or 2.0). Beyond that there are two main streams of the OS (HTC and Google). Certain apps depend on the HTC framework to run. If you have a phone with just the Google framework, these apps will not run. If this is the case and you desperately wanted that app you could flash a ROM that has the HTC framework, and it would run.
You can loads apps from the Market using the Market app. You can also load apps from the net, or from your computer via USB.
An example of this is the Canadian Rogers Magic, a 32a device. It is based on an HTC ROM which meant you got a nicer HTC dialer, along with some craplets from Rogers. When I flashed it to RA-IONv1.6.2H, which is a Google based ROM I lost the ability to run the nicer dialer, however the Google ROMs seem to run faster.

Ah ok I understand, I think i just called it the wrong name. Thanks man!

no to be harsh, but your approaching this the wrong way. You are demanding something, when what you want is already available. With a quick search, you would find out that you probably need to root your phone, then run the market enabler which will give you access to the android market. Then you will have access to various 3rd party youtube clients and map applications.
How to get appsinstaller?
thanks for the info. I have the same problem. To root this phone I need to install appsintaller for installing apk from my SD card. But I cannot find appsinstaller anywhere except from Android Market.
Indian Magic's are locked
Hey,
I was in the same position a couple of weeks back - in fact, the phone dealer advised me not to buy the Magic. Boy, was he wrong.
Unfortunately, there is no short easy way to get all applications as HTC sells a locked version of the Magic in India. You'll have to install a new version of your phone's software. I must add that, IT IS DANGEROUS and if you dont follow directions, are not comfortable with making a lot of changes, then don't. You could end up losing a phone. On the other hand, it works (I have proof) and its worth it as you get tons of applications!
The procedure I followed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548379 (please be careful in following everything). You'll need to reformat your memory card into a gold card - but everything is there in the tutorial.
For the final ROM you use, I would suggest: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552274 In my opinion its much better than the Dream ROM.
The Sapphire Wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking) has details on what all the terms mean, and how you can update your ROMs.
Let me know when you manage to complete the update!

Market missing some applications

I'm running eVil D's NXSense ROM on my N1 and I've noticed that some applications are missing from the Android Market.
The ones I've found so far are:
- Moviefone (com.aol.mobile.moviefone)
- FCC Mobile Broadband Test (com.ookla.fccbroadband)
- Slacker Radio (com.slacker.radio)
- Parcels (eu.zomtec.android.delivery)
Any ideas why I wouldn't be able to access these applications?
were you able to get them earlier from your region or not? The applications might not be available in your current location- if its that you can try MarketEnabler app to sort it out!
I'm not sure as I hadn't tried to installing them until after I had installed NXSense.
My phone is configured for US as far as I know.
I'll try MarketEnabler and see how it goes
Looks like that was the problem. I forgot that I'm currently using an Australian SIM so the apps weren't visible. As soon as I changed the phone to use T-Mobile US, the missing apps appeared.

[Q] T-Mobile Market Imitate

Before I returned it a couple months ago I had an application on the captivate that would allow me to install apps from the Market AT&T had blocked. Now, I believe what it would do is clone a certain value on the phone and make google's market think I was a T-Mobile user trying to connect. (Or any of the other carriers I could choose from)
Does anyone use this or can recall what it is called? I seem to have forgotten and can't find it through my searching.
Or, can anyone give me a better to way to install applications. I like this method because it makes for easy updating.
Thanks!
It is called Market Access. It is not something you can get on the Android Market. I got mine in previous ROM's that would have it included. This was before they would script market access into the ROM on its own.

Thanks guys! I'm using cognition 2.1.5. Do you know if its scripted in?
I'm getting an error message even with cognition when trying to install AT&T blocked apps.

will this work with froyo
Yes, works with Froyo. However, it seems that you can't have opened the Market first before enabling Market Access- if Market had been opened, the phone needs to be rebooted and then T-Mobile has to be emulated first. Then it worked fine.

[Q] Froyo vs Gingerbread App compatibility

How's it going this weekend XDA?
I popped the AT&T 2.3.3 Rom and it is working really nicely. I am a minimalist by nature and I feel the stock ROMs stripped of bloatware are the simplest and sweetest when you balance function and aesthetics.
However, after a few weeks on this ROM, I am noticing some issues where Froyo and Gingerbread overlap. I know that many Froyo apps are not designed for, or in some cases, updated to support Gingerbread. However, these apps seem to run fine on my Gingerbread setup after I restored them from my TiBu backup. However, when I search for the app in Marketplace, they do not show up.
The root of the issue is that I have a Blueant T1 Bluetooth headset that is supposed to be able to auto update it's firmware through the Android app. When the headset is connected, the app indicates that the firmware can be updated and it should do so automatically. However, when you cliock on the link to update, it says that the app doesn't exist in the marketplace, presumably the problem is that my device does not officially support Gingerbread and the conflict might thereby wipe the app from the Marketplace. I can see that the app is there in the Marketplace when I am not logged in via my phone(ie on the pc), but if I try to download it it disappears.
I have also noticed this with other apps, ie Google Body. It apparently needs Gingerbread to function, but 'My device is not supported'.
Any thoughts? Is it that my phone is sending it's model and make which is not compatible, or that the discrepancy between what I should have on the phone vs what I do have doesn't jive with the Marketplace?
Am I facing a build.prop tweak or is there another way to work around this? Any and all input will be useful.
Thanks!

[Q] why do sprint apps only run on the official ROMS

The subject says it all. I have been wondering for some time now why it is that the official Sprint branded apps (NASCAR, TV, FOOTBALL, ID PACK, etc) do not recognize us as Sprint customers when we are running custom ROMs. Does anyone know?
its all in the framework and i know sprint tv would work on my old mytouch before i got the hero.
I don't think it is a framework issue. It is not that they won't install. The apps will install fine. There is an authentication issue. For most when you launch the app you get a message stating you must be a Sprint customer in order to use this app. Another reason I don't think it is a framework issue is that this apps are installed on all Sprint phones with each android phone running a different framework. I could be wrong though.
It would be great if I could get Sprint apps to run on my phone.
I'm running CM7 on my Hero, and can run Sprint Nav, and Nascar as well as Sprint VVM, without issue.
I will say however, that I tried a program that allowed me to change the carrier ID tag on main stern to anything I wanted, and Nascar app stopped working, starting it was only for Sprint Customers!
