If I were to "root" the phone, would I be able to get some of the apps to appear in the market again? Right now, links will just say "not found". when 2hrs ago I could get them... before upgrading.
I'm having the same issue. For example, I had the Shared Branching app install the stock ROM but after the ROM update I get a "Not Found" error if I try to install it from AppBrain. As far as I can tell the app still exists in the Android Market.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/credit-union-shared-branching/com.cu
this is a known issue with the market, and has been for years now.
More and more people will see this as they manually update to 2.2
**correction**
No copy protected apps show up in the market place.

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.
Ever since the update, I have been having a problem with Market. I have tried all of the "fixes" but to no avail. I DO have access to Market, but only the limited one. Here is my problem: when going through the steps, I get market started, browse around a bit, then go to my "home" screen,[ I use Launcher Pro]. I go to settings, but I cannot find Market under the Running section. I can't even find it under the System services, section. I see it under the Downloads section. When I do the steps as directed, nothing happens. I do not get the "error" message that I am supposed to get. And when I start up again, I still have limited access to Market. It is frustrating that most, if not all, of the app sites depend on access to Market, e.g. appbrain, droidpit, etc. I am not ready to go Tnt lite. I did see a thread to flash parts of the rom, and add market, etc, but am afraid it would disable OTA for the future. Any suggestions?

Losing the OTA is not that big a deal. Viewsonic posts a link to their updates on their site and a link is posted here within seconds of an update showing up.
Are you using "Market" or gMarket" that comes with the 3389 update?
When you run "Market" browse around and then hit the "home" button. Unless you have a taskmanager installed, market will stay running. Market should then show up under the "running" section. I am a little confused because I have never seen the Market under the "downloaded" section.
Thanks...
Thanks, BadFrog for the reply. I use Market. The gmarket gets me to Handango, which is really not that good. For some reason, Market does not show up under running, no matter what I do. I even tried to download a freebie to ensure it is running. But when I hit the home button, and go to the settings, it, as well as the other app I am supposed to force close are both under the downloaded, and not in running. Is there a way to reinstate OTA after flashing the market fix?
How exactly did you install the market. (I'm installing an older backup of tntlite becuase the menu structure is a bit different from vegan but the same as stock) I can install stock and market the way you did and see if I can help.

I had the same issue too with the market. I found this thread with the market fix. Just go to step 6 and follow the instruction on Youtube link.

I have the same problem after installing market and google apps through the same process. Everytime I launch market it says no apps found until I click one of the categories at the top. Even then, there are only some apps listed and most searches I try for apps I want to install (mog music for instance) aren't found by searching either.
I believe it has something to do with the version of the market, and whatever viewsonic put on the tablet by default? That said, I have tried to upgrade to the new market from an APK file I found in the forums here and it won't install. Hmmm

Thanks for the video link talexander18!! I'm was Vegan5 and still not getting the full market ... that did the trick for me.
Market
BadFrog, I used the files that came with the fix. It had a folder GTablet, with subfolders, and I transfered over files from the APK, permissions, etc, to my tablet, and I ran the apks, in the order suggested. I actually did this before the latest upgrade and it worked fine. But with the latest one, for some reason, Market, and the other google app I am supposed to force close won't come up in the running section.

I'm gonna assume your using the official viewsonic update 3389 then. I would suggest installing the performance pack from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885940
This will get you the latest NVidia drivers and the market. You will keep the complete stock look.
Yes, I guess that is what I will try next. Thanks.
As I understand it, the Amazon shopping app is only available on the US Android Market.
I'm in the US anyway (I suppose the Nook doesn't know that), but I installed Market Enabler and set it to T-Mobile US (also tried Verizon US).
Force closed the Market and cleared it's cache, but the Amazon app still doesn't show up.
Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
I don't know if it's because it a B&N device but I could not get it to install from the market, so I had to find the apk and install it that way. It updates normally but getting it on there in the first place meant tracking down that pesky apk.
download appbrain along with fast web installer, you will be able to find and install the official amazon app from there.

I downloaded and installed the APK from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4268726&postcount=5
Which works, but how do I update it? I'm guessing they're past v1.0.0 by now ...
EDIT: Tried AppBrain, which shows v1.0.6, but won't update when it tries to via the Android Market app: "The requested item could not be found." Fast Web Installer tells me that Google disabled it's ability to function with the latest Market updates.
I did find v1.0.6 is here though: http://reviewhorizon.com/2011/01/ho...or-requested-item-could-not-be-found-message/
Still doesn't help with updates to the app though.
hi guys,
my apologies in advance if the below seems like a drag. but, my issue is as follows.
bout two days ago, i flashed my stock 2.2 Galaxy S with a custom ROM from here/rom kitchen. before doing a wipe and flashing the new ROM, i backed up all the apps (apk files) i had installed using Astro file manager.
once i flashed with the new custom ROM, i re-installed all the apps (apk files) using the file browser.
now, the issue is, when i go into the "my apps" tab of the market app, it doesnt list any of my apps as they were not installed thru the market, which means that i won't be receiving updates for the apps i've got installed.
is there any way i can get my apps to appear in the market app or to get updates through the market app?
any help on this would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance,
cheers
actually, this is no longer valid!!
funny thing is, i checke the market app bout a couple of hours ago and it didnt show any of the installed apps....
then, i checked again just a few minutes after submitting this and vola!! the market has synched with my gmail account and now it nicely displays the apps i have installed.... talk about timing!!!
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.
transporting apps VIA Titaniumbackup

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...
