I recently installed a custom ROM, and that means that the stock Bell self serve app got deleted. I tried downloading it from the market but this app is different and rarely works. The one that came with my phone was much better.
Is there an .apk of it anywhere?
For reference, this is what it looks like.
I have the same problem, except the one on android market says it's incompatible with my SGS2, so I'm looking for the apk. If anyone can point me into the right direction, it'd much appreciated. Thanks.

Why did the phone come from? Is it stock, unaltered from a phone company or retail store or what?
I have never heard of a stock phone without the market app. However, you should be able to flash an appropriate dev ROM for your phone (need to figure out if it is 32A or 32B), or flash a standard ROM.
You could just load the market apk but if that is missing I would really wonder what else is missing.
If your carrier does not have paid apps, then you can use Market Enabler to access them.
I have the same problem. Just received it as a gift that was purchased from www.blueflymobile.com and it seems that the Android Market is the only app that is missing. Why would they take it out???
Yeah my phone was the same, and the android market app is closed source and isn't readily available for download either. The dev guys may know how to inject one into your existing install, but it's probably easier to just flash your phone with one of the ROMs in development forum.

Had the same frustration about the missing market on my mobile. Seems like the missing market on the first non-google-branded HTC android mobiles is mainly caused by a missundestanding between google and HTC. Hopefully they set things straight and updates will be available soon which include the market. But then its good that we got some elite hackers/developers here on XDA
I had the same problem.
I flashed my phone last week to the newest rom update of cyanogen.
All works perfect now!!!!!
Sorry if i keep repeating the same problem as previous user. Im actually having the missing android market application aswell. I bought this from eBay UK from company called Elcell(www.elcell.co.uk). Turned out that it doesnt have any market, not even a single google application installed - just a plain htc phone with basic stuff. I'm just hoping someone would actually guide me a step by step on how to get Android Market manually because I've been looking for this for long time. I really really need help, please any expert people from this forum.
Airtel India Magics have no google apps either
I bought my Magic 32A from India Airtel. Guess what? No google apps there either and a perfected SPL which meant I had no way of flashing a replacement. I ordered a second HTC Magic 32A from the states and it had no google apps either.
Only way I have found to get the market on the phone is to reflash stuff. I don't believe the market can be packaged up like many of the other apps. There are alternatives like slideme.org which offers a "market-like" experience. They even have a agent you can install to quickly download and install apps.
But as nice as slideme could become; its nothing like the market. For the airtel India Magic phones, one is kinda stuck until getting the phone redone. There are some nice Hero ROMs out now.
For those who don't want to flash a cooked rom should get an official update from HTC soon if not already out. Seems like HTC and google cleared out the misunderstandings and future Android mobiles from HTC should ALL have the market installed. So the 32A models will be able to enjoy the google apps as well as exchange
I'm running CM5.07.1 right now, so obviously my browser's not Flash-enabled. But could anyone who is running a Froyo ROM please try out Grooveshark and tell me if it works/performs acceptably? It's about the one thing that truly matters to me as far as Flash content goes, as the Android app it offers sucks something terrible.
Have you tried the new Grooveshark app that was just released a couple of days ago? Still not the best but a lot better than the original app.
this is still a closed beta correct?
The Grooveshark app is only for VIP members (meaning paying $30 a year or $3 a month). Otherwise, you can use the website for free and its supported by ads.
Yep, and I don't feel like paying to stream music (hissss). The website didn't run with Flash lite, so I was wondering if the "real" Flash in Froyo plays nicer with it.
Did your app auto-update?
I don't remember seeing mine update, ill check it out tho
Edit: I don't even see grooveshark on the market anymore? Froyo newest release-FR72
I checked for updates and found it. I also saw some people talking about it on Twitter. It is a big upgrade though... It now lets you play higher quality songs over wifi and an overall better layout. Still wish it could be as good as the website, but hopefully it will get there someday.
Are you updating from the market?
Yeah, got the update from the market. I'm running stock 2.1 on AT&T. It came out a couple of days ago and has the new icon that has the white sharkfin, you might have already gotten it.
Nope, 2.2 not seeing even the original in the market place.
Think you can upload the app?
I love grooveshark, but this original app sucks!
Thanks in advance,
Blake
I don't know how to find where I got the .apk file from since I just got from the market, but you might try going to http://m.grooveshark.com/ and see if you can download it from there.
Looks like they also have some updated screenshots here - http://m.grooveshark.com/phones/android
That looks SO much better than the old version!
Yea market isn't seeing it and trying to download it from grooveshark.com
didn't work either.
thanks for trying with the .apk
Guess i'll just have to wait until they update there app for 2.2
Old thread but...
Anyone having serious issues with Grooveshark not seeing your subscription correctly or not downloading play lists, etc?
I'll add to the fire...I'm having issues with Grooveshark as well. I'm on 2.2 and keep getting the "IO error preparing stream" issue.
Any help would be great.
All im looking to do is get rid of the bloat apps that the X comes with. Even if we cant have custom roms, can this still be done? Im coming from an Omnia and i know the only way to get rid of the useless stuff was to flash. Does this work the same way with Android?
Yes Yes i have never had a Android phone before. Very excited about making the switch once the X is released
You will need root access and then use adb to remove apps.
Custom Rom on Motorola Milestone
How to load a custom ROM on your motorola milestone via the unlockr site on youtube was posted yesterday by sjones765, so there's still hope for us. I'm not allowed to paste links so this was the best I could do.

Well that's definitely good news... looking for it now...
*edit*
That's not what you're looking for. That's just about Nandroid backups - not ROMs. Nandroid backups are just a backup of your System, Data, etc. It lets you manipulate your current system but not flashing a ROM built from the source. (No update.zip's)
A noob on Android
Thnx for the edification Adam , went back to the unlockr and they said it was only for unlocked GSM phones. Thought maybe it was something we could use . Have a HD2 myself and with these forums help I've turned into a flashing junkie,easy with WinMo. I got alot more to learn.
I would also like to know if we can tweak the rom that Motorola gives us with the phone and then put it bake on with the proper signature...would this be possible???
No, not without some kind soul at Motorola giving us their key.
What particular do you wish to remove?
NFS shift can be removed.
Amazon mp3, Blockbuster, and City ID can't be easily removed.
I think I will just keep Skype Mobile.
To be honest, and this is my first android phone, there doesn't seem to be much bloat. I've pretty much ignored all of the motorola stuff and deleted all of the supplied widgets, replacing them with android ones. The only other stuff on there is a few apps. There isn't even any verizon stuff preinstalled, thank jebus.
I like City ID (very handy), and Skype mobile is useful sometimes. The blockbuster and amazon mp3 apps don't hurt me.

Yeah, I kind of agree. Outside of CityID, there's nothing I really hate and want to get rid of. Will I ever use Blockbuster or Amazon MP3 store? Probably not, but it doesn't really hurt me to see them on my app list.
How does one remove City ID? I couldn't find a way to do it.

You can't remove Blockbuster, City ID, and Amazon mp3 without root.

You can't root droid x's yet.

City ID keeps popping up and asking me if I want to pay for it. I'd like to remove it, but don't see an option for that.
Is that even legal for them to install an extortionist virus on our phones without any way of removal?
I'd rather pay the dev who gets root on this phone.
Here's $10 to anyone who roots the Droid X.
That City ID app is totally uncalled for. But I always expect carriers to put garbage on phones.

Yeah you can't remove them yet, until we get root. I tried doing it with Astro, but it wouldn't let me.
I just demo'd one today at Verizon. There is sooooo much **** on there that I absolutely do NOT want on there. Why did they go so overboard with the UI? The DROID's is pretty vanilla. But damn if the X isn't too much for me..

So a few days ago, I flashed the Larger Than Life EF17 ROM that recently came out. I loved having a rooted Tab with Froyo so i jumped when i saw it in Gingerbread.
I am having one annoying problem though. I am unable to find a few apps on the Anidroid Market that were there on stock Gingerbread. The main two i can think of are Netflix and Documents2Go. I purchased the activating/key program for D2G and can find that but no luck on the main app.
I dont absolutely need Netflix but D2G is my favorite office app and use it nearly daily.
The other oddity is that in the latest market, it shows Books for purchase but i dont see a single movie to rent. The entire movie section is missing from the market.
I understand this is likely causes by the device fingerprint but i dont know what to change it to.
Does anyone have any ideas on what i could do to get back the apps i had in stock EF17? I would have replied to the ROM thread in the Development forum but i havent posted enough on the xda forums to do so.
There are ways to fix the symptoms very easily, but it won't fix the problem you're describing. I've got a netflix apk I can post that should work(don't have d2g). But like I said, won't make apps come up in the market.

i've got the same issue, and cannot update my system apps in the market (says I am up to date, even though I am not).
i keep just pulling them down off my phone and emailing them to myself, but that gets old
Sup Nation,
I am assuming this has been posted in other forums, but I bet there are people like me that only look at the Vivid, Raider, Velocity section of XDA.
But I thought I would post up a link to get the new Google Play app.
Google have renamed the "Android Market" to "Google Play"
It has a slightly different UI on the phone, and the Google Play Website has been updated too.
Here is the UPDATED VERSION link
The main improvement to the app: under the My Apps menu, you can see Installed and All Apps in a separate tab. This allows you to re-download any app you've previously tried and deleted, or paid for and uninstalled, bringing the functionality more in line with the desktop portal.
Enjoy people!
I liked the sound of Android Market better, but they both serve the same purpose so w/e
Im guessing this is only on ICS?
no.. I ran into it today on my stock vivid.. scared the crap out of me.. thought I DL something that will cost me.. haha
Its cool though.. I'm new to all of it.. but on their site it will tell you what program will work for your phone and it will send it to your phone and install it.. without any connection to your PC or home network.
A rose by any other name is still a rose.

Nope, it's a market update. I'm running Gingerbread and just got it the other day. Anyone have any idea why they decided to do this? It seems a bit unnecessary, and personally, I liked the Android Market a lot better. This just makes it seem like a game store for kids or something. I don't like it.
