Market Enabler

Hi,
Anyone got this to work on the Hero?
Tried it on a rooted Hero, but still can't see the app I was looking for...
Thanks

Same on my hero.. enable it and open market, nothing changed. when i reopen the market enabler its disabled again.
Weird....I could not find what I was looking for so assumed it did not work, removed the Market Enabler app.
Then later last night the ones I was after are now visible!
Seems it worked after all!
The market enabler script for the hero is somewhat broken. There is an issue registered for it and I've entered a workaround as a comment:
http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/issues/detail?id=5
Hmm...I think that this made it work for me then after runnning the app...
settings -> applications -> manage apps -> market -> empty cache
So, looks like a temp solution for the Hero
Edit: Or it may have been a phone restart that solved it. Or uninstalling the app after applying it? That covers all I did anyway!
I've tried the method you mentioned in the other post, but still a no go on my unbranded, rooted hero.
I run clear the dirs, run market enabler, and still no paid apps in market...
Do you have any other suggestions?
For me is the same, i tried all things i can find. But still have no paidapps in my store. I have a unbranded rooted hero.
On settings -> applications -> manage apps -> market -> empty cache is the button disabled.. dont know why.
Cheer up, I have an unrooted Hero from T-Mobile and I don't see any paid apps. I used to, though!
It works fine on my rooted Hero. Market enabler 3.0 beta. I choose O2. Emptied the cash memory for market then it started to work.
I can confirm that I installed Modacos improved Rom today and had to reinstall market enabler after a wipe.
The way that definitely works (for me half an hour ago) is:
1. Root phone
2. Install market enabler 3.0 beta (downloaded to SD-card, installed with Astro file manager)
3. Kill Market app (I used Advanced task manager)
4. Clear Cache from desktop -> menu -> settings -> applications -> manage applications -> market
5. Reboot phone
6. Run Market Enabler, choose German O2
7. Start Market

Bravo!!!
Just tried this in Denmark, and it's working for me, following your instructions step-by-step.
Bravo to you sir!!!
Market Enabler v. 3.0 beta is available from here: http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/downloads/list
Hi,
What are the O2 UK settings for this...or are they identical to O2 De ?
I switched successfully to USA, but wondered how to switch it back to UK ?
Thank You
Phil
Edit...Cleared Cache/Rebooted . Settings back to O2 UK

It appears that this also works:
1. Root phone
2. Install latest Market Enabler
3. Run Market Enabler, choose whatever you like
4. Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Market -> Clear Cache
5. Start market
No need to kill market app or reboot phone for me...
Edit: though it looks like you DO need to reboot the phone to restore the previous settings.
i installed market enabler 3.0.2 beta but when i open the market (after 'select o2 or ...' on market enabler) after a few second closed again. i thing don't work on 2.7 MoDaCo
Why is the file a html file?? shouldnt it be an app?
I'm just not getting how you install this!!
hint : try opening the html file in your favorite browser ?

I tried this but i still can not see the applications.
I installed the market enabler before i was rooting the phone. Can it be the reason. Do you advise me to uninstall market enabler and install again?
And can somebody can tell me how to change the setting.
I go to settings tab from the market enabler and click on German O2
Later go to the Actual tab and and press save current settings. And exit
Is that right?
What is the gsm.sim.operator.numeric in actual tab. There is a number...
ps. my phohe is tattoo

it works for me
I set hack, kill market process then open market again! it really does work and if your phone is rebooting while trying to set hack, reinstall market enabler
What's the latest version?
I have Market Enabler installed on my phone, but I can't find an "about" tab telling me which version it is. But the .apk is called "MarketEnabler_v3-1.0.2-beta.apk".
Today I downloaded "MarketEnabler_v3.0.8.apk" from the official project page.
Which of these are actually the newest version?
And to you who didn't understand how to use it: the phone must be rooted, ME needs superuser access, and then you longpress on the network provider you want to fake.

I hate to 'me too' but I have the same problem. I'm trying to reinstall the Facebook App. I can't find it in my backups but the Market tells me I have, it so I can't install or uninstall it!!
Help me Obi One Kanobi!
What all of you have to do is wipe your ext's. Then re-download the apps.
To avoid this from happening in the future (let's say you switch roms) ...or whatever....
Set up the phone as you normally would (signing in and all that), go to settings > applications > manage applications > CHECK THE BOX THAT SAYS "UNKNOWN SOURCES". This way you're guaranteed to have ALL your apps. Paid and free.
Then and only then do you go to the marketplace > downloads and check your apps. They'll be there.
And if you do have to download any of the apps again, make sure you don't leave the the "download screen", because if you do you'll lose "record" of the apps you had downloaded and will have to re-download them again.

Use any option it gives you to uninstall the app, then reinstall it.
Similar issue.
I am having a similar issue.
I installed Toggle Settings (Donut) on my G1 (CM 4.2.5 I'm not using apps2SD) and then decided to uninstall it. Now when I go to the market and my downloads it shows that I have Toggle settings installed. The problem is that I don't and it gives me no options to do anything (open and uninstall are grayed out). Other apps install and uninstall normally with the market updating their status correctly. I don't know what to do to correct this. If you know how to remedy this, please help me.
I apologize if this is an inappropriate place to post this but I serched and this was the closest topic to my problem that I found.
Try finding it in the app-private folder or if its in any of yours apps as a .zip file. If so, back it up and delete it from the phone. see if that resolves the issue. if not try deleting the market cache

Thanks for replying... It's not in any of my other apps and I've tried deleting the market cache (and deleting the market cache and power cycling the phone) and that isn't working. Where is (or should be) the app-private folder? I'm not finding that folder.
I'm starting to feel like my only hope is an update being put out for the app and then hopefully I can download that and go from there.

app-private should be in the same folder as app
Had a similar problem
I wiped my phone and did a frech Cyan 4.2.5 install to help clear a problem with Gmail. I used backup for root users to get all my apps back, but it left a couple out - leaving me in the same situation you guys are in - can't install/uninstall from the market as the buttons are greyed out, but it's not actually on your phone.
i eventually stumbled over a solution of sorts when i reverted back to a themeless 4.2.5 - for me flashing the update again sorted out my market data and allowed me to install the missing apps again. either that, or go into a nandroided backup, extract the apks and manually push them to your current setup - buttons are magically no longer greyed out.
Thanks guys.
Thanks for your guys assistance.
I found another solution that worked. I had one of my coworkers download Astro File browser and then the Toggle settings app. I just backed up his toggle settings with the built in apps manager in Astro and then put his memory card in my phone and restored toggle settings with Astro. Then I went to the market and uninstalled toggle settings through the market and bingo no more ghost of Toggle settings problem. Thanks again for your assistance.

Applications in Downloads list Market

Hi,
I have used myback to restore all my apps from my previous kang-o-rama ROM to my current Leofroyo ROM.
any application that has been restored, does not show in the market's "Downloads" list, so therefore i wont be able to update them.
Also, when i try to find the apps in the market, it says that they are not installed (even though they are)
once i re-download and install them from the market, then they appear in the "downloads" list.
however i have too many programs to do this, is there a way around this??
I had this problem whenever I wipe and restore using Titanium pro. What i got around that is to install any free app, reboot the phone and all the market link magically show up.
All you have to do when changing ROMs once your applications are restored, is to just go to settings> applications> manage applications> touch the "ALL" tab, find the market and clear cache and data.

THANK YOU!
all of the apps show in the list now
1 ques, do you know any backup/restore app that will restore all the apps at once without the need to install each app separately?

[Q] How to manually update Market app?

Turned my phone on today and found that there were only my paid apps listed in "My Downloads" and none of the free apps I'd downloaded, did some searching and found the fix, which was to find an already installed free app, uninstall it via Market then reinstall. All my free apps returned to their rightful spot in "My Downloads".
Unfortunately before I had found that solution I did the usual troubleshooting of clearing the cache and data for the Market app itself.
Problem is that now the Market app won't update itself to the newest version (newest version has the "Update Automatically" checkbox for apps that I very much want back). Previously I'd cleared the data for the Market app and it had updated itself back to the newest version no problems, but for some reason this time it's not doing it.
Apparently the Market app updates itself if you open the Market, hit the Home key and then wait 10 minutes, but it's just not doing it for some reason. I've tried a number of combinations of reboots, clearing cache, force closing the Market app etc. etc. but have had no luck. I've found a few vending.apk files on the net including a few here on XDA but none of them seem valid as Package Installer doesn't recognize them as a valid apk.
Any suggestions? Milestone running stock 2.1update1, rooted.
I wanna update manually too, if it's possible?
I'm still on 1.82...
i don't know why. from China to help you up.
Users still looking for a way to manually install the market update should checkout this article h t t p://eugeneorourke.com/go/1369. It gives steps on how to update the market through recovery mode that worked well for me.
