As soon as I got my phone today I rooted and removed all AT&T crap, now if we could just get past their censorship of the Android Market.
I have renamed all CSC files and references but no change at all.
Since it goes back to the stock Android Market with no SIM in it and WiFi only I figured it was APN settings triggering it so I removed the proxy but no go.
I setup a default APN with nothing in it and when I opened the market it showed me the Download tab.
So there is something referencing the apn before loading the market to tell it to add AT&T and block certain apps from showing up.
Anyone more experienced than I have a clue?
Have you enabled side-loading?? Have you installed AppBrain??
install the stock 2.1 market app...
I have enabled non-market apps but the problem is AT&T censors whet you see on Marketplace (easytether for example.)
I have tried installing the stock vending and marketupdater from Cyanogen 5 for the Nexus One but it still loads the AT&T information and shows no results for easytether.
I am fine with sideloading but at the same time I don't want to only see what AT&T deems acceptable, that defeats the principle of Android.
Here's how to bypass AT&T's censorship of the market. Turn on airplane mode, turn on wifi, then browse the market. Not so hard. Anyways, the only thing they seem to be censoring is tethering apps.
I know I can do it on WiFi but there has to be a way to do it over 3g.

Hi
I have Titanium backup to remove the AT&T Apps but because I don't want to screw up the system by removing an app thats needed for the system, can you please send me a list of all AT&T related applications that if removed won't affect the system?
I will be very thankful to you.

Holy crap. The biggest problem I've had with the device so far is that the Market ran slow as molasses. Now that I've changed it to T-Mobile, it's back to what it was on previous Android phones.
This is the longest I've been on an AT&T-branded ROM in almost 2 years and I forgot how much I hated AT&T's "helpful" changes...
I just tried out Market Enabler. +1 for that app. I switched to T-Mobile and now no more AT&T tab and can find all apps on the market. Did anyone else see a speed improvement in the market after switching?
I just rebooted the phone and it's back to AT&T, looks like it's a per-boot change but better than nothing.
market enabler
can sumone tell me how to install market enabler on the captivate please an thank u
So I sideloaded MarketEnabler and found an old friend on the market....PDANet lol. I still had the version installed on my laptop from way back when I had my Hero from Sprint. I'm not sure if the trial will run out or not since I do have the paid version on my laptop...but I am posting this tethered to my laptop now. Eat it AT&T!!!! Thanks for all the posts guys. I think our little phones are gonna turn out ok after all...its getting better everyday

Anyone know how to get rid of the custom ATT Market? I would like to replace it with the stock Android Market app so that I can see my list of downloads!
I had over 70 apps installed on my G1. It would be nice to see the list of apps I had purchased to re-download - instead of seeing that crappy ATT button at the top right!!!!
I installed the Market.apk and vending.apk from the Nexus! CM5 gapps.zip file. But, there must be something telling the Market app on this device to alter the menu!
Dam irritating!
Oh, just found that if I select the menu button there is a Download button to see that same screen as indicated above.
Would still be nice to leave out that extra step as I could CARE LESS WHAT THE CRAPPY ATT wants me to see!!!

Turn Airplane mode on, turn wifi on and connect to wifi. Now browse market sans AT&T.
I hear you.... But, there should be a way for us to delete some files or change some code so that we don't have to take the above steps.
Verizon does the same thing. Is this really such a big issue???
Guess I'm just spoiled! LOL! I like opening up the Market and having the option to see all of my purchased/installed apps with the touch of a button instead of having that other STUPID button up there that I'LL NEVER USE!
Just the modder in me! I pushed the stock Market and vending apk's from CM5 - but, it still opened up with the stupid ATT button.
Market Enabler does this function for you. Google search for it but you have to side load it and be rooted. Have to launch it & config for T-Mobile b4 each Appworld visit on your phone.
Works like a charm.

i recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab wifi version and I tried doing a search for Yahoo Messenger in the Market but it doesn't give any result, says that 'no application found'.
but on my mini pro, Yahoo messenger shows up so i end up downloading it in my mini pro and transfer it via BT on my SGT.
any idea why it's not showing in SGT's Market? is there a way for me to be able to fix it?
I'm running Overcome 1.4.2 with Globe as my carrier and it shows up fine in the Market. Didn't see it on stock though.
i've heard of Overcome but i'm not sure if i can use that on my SGT since mine is the Wifi version.
here's what's going on with the Market that I have on my SGT Wifi version.
At first i thought that Yahoo Messenger is the only app that I can't find but unfortunately, I can't locate GO Launcher as well. It shows the Go Launcher themes but not the app itself.
So I'm assuming that there might also be other known apps that might not show. Is there a way to fix or patch the Market so that it would show the apps?
i've tried MarketEnabler, MoreLocale2 but it's a no go .. i've seen someone post a copy of Market here. if i overwrite the existing Market app, won't that cause a problem or will that fix the problem?
anyone?

found a temporary solution .. i've installed Amazon's AppStore, AppBrain and Applanet.
Appbrain relies on Market so that's really a no-go. Applanet works since it shows the files that I need, like, Yahoo Messenger for instance. It even shows the plug-in.

non-market apps are enabled but the apps that i've mentioned above are still missing.
Hello you all, I'm looking for the "USA Today for Tablets" App - only the version for smartphones will show up in the market... Hope anyone can upload the APK for me and all the others!
Thanks!
Google can be helpful!!! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.usatoday.android.tablet.news
If all would be so easy Guess what? I've tried that already but it won't let me install the app to my device. That is the reason why I've come here and asked to the apk

I went into the market on my Xoom, went to the Featured Tablet Apps section, and it was right there at the bottom. It installed fine.
How are you not seeing it in the market? When you try to install it from the website (the tablet app linked by handshake87) it should show you your tablet as an option to install it to. If you can't install it to the tablet it should have a reason shown as to why you can't.
If you can't install it from the market or the website then you have another issue you should probably look into. Since I just installed it I can get the APK using titanium if you still need it.
I think the problem might be that I'm accessing the store from Germany and it's a branded T-Mobile device...
So how about anyone uploading the APK for me? Would really appreciate it!
The apk might not work since it's coming from a U.S. xoom versus your version.
I would love to try if anyone would upload the apk
Not responsible for what happens if you try using the file (e.g. soft/hard brick, bootloops, etc.), but here you go from a U.S. wifi version.

If you're getting the error in the market that says something about the app not being available for your carrier, you may want to try what i had to do on my x10. If you're on AT&T in the US and try searching for tethering apps they are not there. So what I ended up doing was putting my phone in airplane mode and using wifi (removing the sim card and working on wifi does the same thing) and once I did that, the apps would show.
So if the apk file posted doesn't work for you (i see no reason why it shouldn't) try removing the sim from your xoom, connect to the internet over wifi, and look in the market again.
Hello.
I live in a "sanctioned" Country: Cuba
Meaning that I don't have access to the market, The app just closes itself after a few seconds trying to connect. I gess you know the huge problem this is, would you imagine yourself without access to the market???. Every website I go gives me a barcode linking to the market or says "Just go to the market and ..." and then I just have to smile.
I can get to the market using the browser but the service ask me to log in one time with the app and buy/download at least one app.
This is what I've done to try to workaround the issue.
Setup Proxy: Market App doesn't work with proxy. I think only the browser does.
Installed Market Access apk and/or Market Enabler apk. Any of these are suppose to emulate a different carrier so the market "thinks" I'm in another country. It doesn't work.
Setup VPN. This should hide my IP. VPN connects OK. I get different IP which i Can tell just by opening ipchicken.com. So digitally speaking I'm in california but MARKET is a no go.
Updated vending.apk with the app from a friend's phone and still the same.
Any Ideas?
I had given up a couple of months ago and I was getting everything from mediafire, megaupload etc. But since I joined xda-devs I'm eager to update and test new ROMs and ROM manager is not able to download Clokworkmode Recovery. This is annoying. I know I have some other ways to flash ROMs but I still want to get to the market anyway.
Samsung i897 Captivate Stock 2.1.1 Unlocked and Rooted.
Thanks.
Try installing and using this http://db.tt/ypqbCr8U to spoof the market.

That's what I get for reading/posting at 4:30 in the morning. :/
My best guess would be that american buisnesses are filtering all things cuban. ISPs and wireless providers included. Tough luck bro. get rid of the Castros.apk that should resolve most of your device issues.
You don't need Rom manager to get CWM, not for the captivate. You can drop in any rooted kernal and most of them have CWM available to them.
I would recommend starting here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
