Hi I just upgraded my Rom to the official one from the HTC website and it seems that I am missing the Android market application. Could some one please post a link for that. It is really a pain cuz without the market I can't install any app since there is no file manager either. Help. would be really appreciated. Thanks
if some one could pls backup their android market using astro, and email me the apk link, that would be great! takes 5 mins only.
i backed up my apps using astro before rom upgrade and i managed to get them re installed again. after a long time searching i net, i download and installed the app "slide me"... which is also a catalogue app for android but has the feature for u to install apps of ur sd card.
this is where i had backed up all my apps before rom upgrade. its sad that i didnt back up the android market cuz i assumed that it would come with the rom. my mistake. so if some one could pls?

my friend i had a similar problem , cuz i am in a country that google does not support it .... " forbidden " but i find out y the android is the best by allowing any app to be installed freely
the solution is >>>> go to www.getjar.com and search for Bluetooth ftp
or take this one that i have on my pc get the attachments SAM.zip
and download it . its an app that allow you to browse your phone and send and receive files from other people , to install an app you have to download the apps into your SD card then open it using this pro and the android package installer will start ...
later if you want a a better android browsing pro I recommender The Linda file or Astro file manager
if you want more apps just search the getjar.com
or softonic.com or 4shared.com and you will find any thing you want

How does that help him with the Android Market??
yes, I have the same problem. Could someone please show us how to retrieve the android market.
If you guys used the search you might figure out that this topic has been answered many times already.
Because of misunderstandings between HTC and google was the first non-google branded HTC Adroid mobiles without the market.
The market cannot be backed up using ANY application backup tools. The market require core functionality there isn't in the most sea magics.
You need to wait for an update from HTC there includes the market or flash a rom there got it.

i try to put the market application using the root explorer but still nothing change i try to install it but it cant instal.. any sugestion to make it work?
If you read the release thread you'd see a Google Apps package that you need to flash...
Hi there.. I'm a newbie in this HD2 forum as I'm just helping my friend to flash her new NAND rom.. But what I've found is the there is no stock apps such as youtube or google maps.. and I don't know how to download it either as Android Market don't have it.
Please reply here ASAP.. your help is much appreciated.
EDIT: Tried the method on downloading the file from Android market on computer.. Failed. Any ideas?
Google 'gapps.zoo's for the stock Google apps.
As for the Market, you can't get it unless it came preinstalled in the ROM.
but you can try to find it.

If you have Market the google apps have to be installed by looking for the app and then installing one at a time. I have always used adb and fastboot or the pm (package manager) command from inside the shell before I came here as I work for a board vendor. and I know it is possible to also to extract the apk from either /data/ or /system from another board or a zip of a ROM. Internally Market maybe using the pm or am api of some sort and using the market uri instead of a local file.
the seasoned ROM cookers usually have some type of provision to get market onto your phone, a flashable file or some other method, pongster's roms and I think cyanogen's as well allow you to get market after you have flashed the rom.
I have recently purchased the GT-P1000 in Kuwait. It's unlocked but I don't have admin rights to it. Initially, there was no Android Market but I found the fix for that in another post.
My current dilemma now is I can't seem to get apps to install. The downloads will pause themselves and never install the application. I've had this happen to Angry Birds and Robo Defense.
As of now, I have no desire to flash this device. AFAIK, it's 3g voice/data straight out of the box and I don't want to risk losing those features.
Now, the question is, what's the bare minimum I need to do so I can install apps from Android Market and remove unwanted apps?
So I feel like an idiot now. For some reason, I can now get the apps to download and install: Angry Birds, Robo Defense, ES File Explorer, and Dropbox have installed successfully.
I still would like to remove some apps and install some that will need root access. Can someone confirm that if I root the phone that it won't affect the 3G data/voice capabilities?
ROOTING only gives you su (superuser admin) rights to your phone. It doesnt affect your phone or device functions (unless you mess around somewhere). Rooting gives you ability to access files or functions that vendor has it locked out from you. Sort of like jailbreaking the iphone.
Flashing roms is another thing. Some roms have no support to some functions But since you already own an unbranded non carrier GSM and Not CDMA tab. You shouldnt really worry.
all samsung tabs are different...so in lots oof countries they made some differnces in possibilties.
Try out by going to my weblog and after registering to download thje apks you find in the download section.
Best is to download this on another laptop..and copy the apk to the micro sd card in a folder with your name
then withe a file manager clck on the apk to see if they install
not working.....then you need to root your samsung to make it work

thanks for the info. I didn't think rooting would break anything but my paranoia got the best of me.
I rooted my phone yesterday and was able to install and run apps that need SU rights. I'm still havin trouble removing the apps that came with the Tab. Thoughts anyone?
FYI, I can uninstall apps that I've downloaded from the market.

Oho. stock apps cannot be uninstalled. Simplest way to uninstall stock apps is to use Titanium Backup Pro. Before you do that, be sure you backup the app in case you need it again later.
hi there....i did not found anything about...so i want to ask:
does anyone know how to disconnect apps from market. i do not want a launcher update or a gmaps update...because of free memory problems.
want to keep gmaps 4.7 on the milestone....every version above sucks....
so if i could disconnect it...autoupdates an notifications could keeps its function
bye
greets from germany
great question, i would like to know the same thing too, I do not want to install the newest facebook updates, but the market keeps showing me updates available.
it´s more an annoyance than a problem, really - but if there IS a way to "fix" it, then I would like to know
If your device is rooted, use root explorer to pull the app's apk file from data/apps to a folder somewhere on your sd card. Then, uninstall the app, and sideload the apps you pulled out earlier. It will not have a connection to the market this way.

in other words: make a copy of apk, uninstall, mv backuped apk to old place?
unfortunately, that does not work. at least it does not ALWAYS work.
because that is exactly what I already did - I hated the new Facebook app, so I downloaded the old version 1.5.2 APK from our german Android forums, and sideloaded it - but it still shows up in the Market with the red "update" text beside it.
just found something, that seems to work.
go to market, cklick update, abort download, --> disconnect
worked for me 2 times now. but i use froyo with old market...do not know if it works for the new ones.
Not move backup back into data/app, but install the apk from SD.

Titanium Backup can detach and reattach apps from the market. Do a long press on the app to get the menu with that option.
I have stock 2.2.2 WiFi that I have rooted with GingerBreak. When I search for items in the market it doesn't show them. If I search on the PC version of the market it shows them as incompatible with my device. However if I download the apk and install it works fine. For example Lookout incompatible, installed and working correctly. Is this an issue with my Streak, my market account or is it just tha the Streak can't run these apps?

The market checks for HW or SW compatibility. LookOut most likely can place phone calls and send SMS, neither of which the Streak can do.
But you're right, if you can otherwise get the apk they work fine.
The good news? Look forward to more of this in the future, the new market (the Windows Phone 7 looking crap) filters even more.
Thanks that explains a lot. Can I just copy the apk from by ZTE Blade or even Titanium Backup and install that. Also once it is installled does that mean it will never update either so each time I get an update on my phone I'll have to copy the apk over to the Streak.

Yeah, you should be able to sideload it, and yes, sideload updates. Very annoying.
Only thing Developers can do here is remove permissions to call number or SMS, maybe make them a "plugin" for their app..
What I don't get is some apps, like Android Agenda Widget. The free version shows in the market, but the Pro doesn't. No permissions differences between the two that I see! And it's only on my other tablet, Nook Color. DS7 it's fine. Go figure.
Still having problems. Having copied the apk over and installed it, it doesn't show up in My Apps on the store. If I use AppBrain it shows all the apps and that I have updates to do but as soon as I try to install the updates it goes to the market and they are not available. Current updates are Voice Search and Facebook.
Is there anything I can change on the Streak so that the market thinks it is a 3G streak so I can see all the other apps. Latest is I can't see any Gameloft games now. I tried upgrading to the new Market App but seemed to make no difference.
Googled it but there seems to be no way to reset my Market account without creating new logon and resetting phone which I would sooner not do but may be my only option.

I have been able to transfer "unsupported device" apps from one device to another (true all my devices are Tegra2 devices).I went into titanium backup and backed up the app, then copied it over to an extenal SD card and copied it to another device (to the titanium backup folder in that device) then went into TB and did an app refresh then restored the app (ONLY - not the data) then cleared the cache and rebooted the device. So far each time I have done this it has worked without any trouble.
I have not tried to update any of these apps on the " unsupported devices" yet (current revision) so I don't know if it can be done or not (sure I will find out soon enough) its worth a try,but true if you have to do this all the time it would be a PITA.
So good luck
A first step is to check your market filter settings..often a simple solution...
