[Q] Google Earth "The requested item could not be found" in market

Hey all - sorry if this has been answered elsewhere. I did a fair amount of research and tried a number of things before posting.
For some reason, I'm unable to update Google Earth on my cappy. App Brain shows there's an update available, but when I attempt to open the market link from App Brain, I get "The requested item could not be found". When I attempt to search for Google Earth in the market itself, I cannot find it.
I'm running stock JH7, rooted - so far as I can tell, there's nothing wrong with my build.prop.... any ideas on what might be going on, and how to fix it w/o having to wipe the device?
The only other thing I can think of that might have played a role is the fact that I flashed a Cog. ROM on my device, but ended up going back to stock (first with an Odin restore, then restoring a Clockwork backup I had made of my device before flashing).
Any ideas would be awesome.

Try searching for earth

Thanks for the response - but it's still not showing up.
Other Google products do show up, however. If I go to the market page for one (say Reader) and tap "View more applications" it'll bring up all the apps by Google Inc, but no Earth.
I'm just kinda confused about this.

That is wierd. Sorry I can't help more.

No worries, I appreciate the thought, nevertheless.
I may try flashing back to bone-stock to see if that'll clear things up if there aren't any other suggestions in the next few days.

Any other experts have any ideas on this? I'm trying to go from version 1.2 to 1.2.1 (the current version), if that makes any difference.

Do you happen to have the sgs tools app? If so run the market fix in it and try that. If not you have to get it on xda as the developer is no longer supporting it.

I had the same problem and I searched Google for google_earth.apk
and found a link in :
Google Earth Missing From Market After 2.1 Update - Android Market ...
It worked for me, downloaded the apk and sideloaded.
I cannot post the link itself because I am under 8 posts.

It was the same way for me when I flashed back to stock. I couldn't find google earth in market, so I went back to cog. 2.3b8. I can't believe a core app is incompatible with 2.1.

Thought I'd update this tread, should anyone else run into the issue.
While I haven't solved the issues, I've at least narrowed down the source of the issue.
After checking another Captivate (completely 100% stock) and finding the same problem, but being able to pull down an updated version of Earth on a fresh JF6 stock ROM flash, I believe the issue's mostly likely due to the market update which was rolled out a while ago (though it's also possible that it's tied to JH7).

Market "fix" for my SGT Wifi version

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.

Get Super One Click v1.8beta under @ Android Apps and Games. It can root and/or market fix. Read my post towards the end for instructions on how to make it work.

Looking for "USA Today for Tablets" App

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.

[Q] Google+ is in the market... but there is no download button???

I searched xda and the googleverse but can't seem to find this exact problem.
On my device, I have the new market running, and I can search, find, and pull up the Google+ app. Hooray! Except one thing: there is no option to download. The screenshots butt up to the top of the app's page, and there is no download, just screens and information...
Weird... so I tried the web-based marketplace... and it says my device is not compatible?
The nitty gritty:
Sprint Galaxy Tab
ROOTED Gingerbread, 2.3.4
And also, I am currently in Costa Rica, which I think may be the culprit (keep reading)
What I don't get is it seems that when an app is not available in your country, it should not appear in the Marketplace App on your device.
Secondly, what determines "my country"? Everything I have in that device points to Texas, everything except my current gps / internet wifi location.
What I don't understand too is why a week or two ago I downloaded it just fine (but I didnt have an invite yet so I uninstalled) and now, the download link is mysteriously gone...
SOLUTION? Yes, I simply found the latest apk and installed. What's interesting now is that in the marketplace I now have the option to open Google+, but not upgrade or uninstall...
I know I can simply keep finding and installing apk updates, but this is a pain in the butt... I want to update via the market!
So any thoughts as to why this app isn't playing nicely?!
Thanks for the input!
-Austin

So it seems as long as I restart my phone and do not apply any lcd density settings+ I can update and download google.plus no problem, but if I boot into / change the density, it dissappears... weird. If anyone else has this problem, know you know!

[Q] Samsung Mini Diary App

Ive installed Slim ICS on my wifes galaxy s.
She misses the mini diary app that was present on the stock rom. I have done many searches and found posts on this forum and others.
I have obtained a few MiniDiary.apk files form the internet and copied them to system/app using root explorer, and changed the permissions etc, but I have not managed to get this app to work.
Is there any way to achieve this? Have I been using the wrong apk files?
The stock rom she had was XXJVO. She would also be happy with the MiniDiary app from my S2 if it would be possible to get that to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

147 views and no repies?
Did I post in the wrong section?
Thanks.

It's impossible. I really liked that app too, but there's no way to get it working on a non-touchwiz rom. Even flashing one of those touchwiz framework packages didn't work. So you have two choice. Either go back to a Touchwiz rom (so non-AOSP), or find another app replacement (IMHO there's no good replacement on the market).

I like the app also. When I rooted my phone its gone. But what I am suggesting is you can get a Diary App vias Play Store. I bet they have alot there..

Trust me. I have Looked, and none of them is as nice
Knowledge is Power. Guard it well.

Thanks for your clear and concise answers. I had also tried one of those touchwiz frameworks too.
I too have trawled the play store for something similar but like you found nothing as good as the mini diary app. I'm sure I can find something that will make do.

wrong time
Hi I downloaded mini diary from the Samsung store and for today it shows a time - the 2 other entries don't. The issue is only that on the entry that does show the time it is 2 hours behind. The phone shows the correct time though.
I'm using Samsung galaxy s3 on latest official .nz firmware, I'm saying new Zealand because Im in .nz and live in .nz etc.
How can I fix this, the only setting I could see was location and weather .

have u tried this way:
