I remember back in Froyo was announced they said there was a web based marketplace where you could send the apps to your phone without using the phone to browse the market.
Did this ever come out and if so what is the website? www.android.com/market doesn't give me any option to send to phone on any of my Froyo devices and now with JPH I am planning on keeping it on my Galaxy S as well.

Hi everyone
Yesterday rooted my phone using the one click root program on Mac.
Rooting and later on installing Titanium Backup and ROM manager went smoothly. Made backups as well.
However this morning I noticed something peculiar.
Clicking my phone from standby, I saw the browser opened with a site I don't know and not visited before and a pop up if I want to continu with loading the digital/SSL certificate. In the afternoon for a second time again, but this time a known site.
Checked google if such a malware exist on Android. And whether it is possible to set a root password in android. But both questions were not answered positively yet.
Have any one of you seen such a behaviour before?
did you install any illegal software in the phone?
as in those full copies of software not from Android Market?
not that I am aware of.
Most of them were from Android Market.
it is very suspicious that issue popped up after rooting.
I removed all apps that got default root access.
Will report again if issue reappears.
most people visiting this forum have their SGS rooted, and i've not read about this sort of weird issues until now.
myself included.
it'll be good to find out what is causing you to have those random pop ups of websites.
did you install VNC server or something similar by any chance?
That Security warning seems to be Browser bugs.. It pop up on my Nexus one after official Android 2-1 update1 and Android 2.2(Froyo ) update.(OTA).
=> All update are done with files from Google server direct.
Likewise the same happened after updating Galaxy S with the new FW..
Along the way, during update, the digital signature get messed..??
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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
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.
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!
Hey folks. I'm really digging this whole Google Music thing. I spoofed my location to get an account, being that I'm from Canada, but once that was taken care of, I was able to ditch my harddrive-bound music. Problem is, I'm not able to download the app due to location issues on the market or however it's designated.
Has anybody got an idea of how I could get the app running without reflashing my Firefly 3.0?
Is there any way to spoof my phone into telling the world it's ATT or something like that without flashing it so as to be able to access American market stuff?
There are probably discussions of this all over the place but I wanted to put my gripes in one spot and this seems like a great place.
1. Why can't I uninstall this at&t crap. Like their Navigation program. I will never ever use it.
2. Why can't I get rid of these at&t bookmarks?
3. Why does my Market App not update, still waiting for version 2 let alone Google play.
4. Why do Google Play movies that I purchase and download not work.
5. Why no official Ice Cream Sandwich?
Any suggestions on getting around all of this would be so much appreciated. My Moto Xoom that I purchased about two months before the tab updated to ICS over a month ago!
I have to problem rooting or flashing so if that's the only way to get this thing to work the way I want.........just point me in the right direction.
Try flashing the Telus or Bell firmware. Less/no bloat, tethering, etc.
I will sure try it. Do you know if the 4G LTE works using that firmware? Having tether capability would sure be nice.
1. Root and remove bloatware using titanium backup
2. ATT bookmark removal: there is a way, i just cant recall right now
3. You can install the latest market apk i believe, and other people have updated theirs...i havent yet though.
4. If you are rooted, the movies wont work from google play
5. ICS is a slow release with samsung
