hi
i am using htc magic, but there no "market app". how to install market app on htc magic. can anyone help me
shameer2255
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

looks nice, but why aren't you using http://developer.android.com/reference/android/accounts/AccountManager.html ?
Asking for login/pass with internet permissions will be suspicious to many users, especially when it's unnecessary for what you're doing.

Very good idea, it will be included in the next version.
Ya I was just about to say that lol
Looks Great
So wanted to purchase this app...please implement user/password feature as stated above. Then I will buy it...kinda creepy as is having to input my info atm
Looks nice, though as ZanshinG1 pointed out, Account Manager would be a much better way of using the Google account.

Better than Newsr? How does it compare?
I quite like the look of this, but I'm really loathe to buy a Reader app when it's only a matter of time until Google themselves release one that's optimized for tablets. I haven't bought Newsr for the same reason.
If you release an ad supported version then I'd jump all over it.
We just released version 1.1 with integrated credentials support - enjoy!
Again, thanks for the input

Maybe we will release an ad version. But we would rather not bloat the interface with ads. I dont think google will release a good reader app for tablets, the browser one is no good and the one for phones isnt really great either in my opinion. Thats why we thought of doing one that looks the way we want for our selves..
How do things get marked as read? When you scroll down or? That's crucial for me. And when you mark them as read do they go away?

As it works now, the news wont get marked as read. When you sync it purges the news and downloads new news. So you can decide, tell us how you want it and we will make it work like that.
Newsr is a small investment and very good. Actively developed. Even if Google releases its own Reader app that you prefer, you will have gotten your money's worth. What I really want is a scrollable Reader widget which allows me to select which feed or label I want in the widget.
I like the look of this Honey Reader. When it sorts out the login Account Manager issue, I'll give it a whirl. Price is fair, too. I think people forget they can still do 15 minute try and return for no cost if they want. It's important that we support a development community for Droid if we want it to become as robust as Apple's.
Edit: just realized the account manager issue is resolved. Off to try this now.

png6: Great looking app, especially after you've taken care of the login issue. If you create a free ad-sponsored version, I will write about it on the XDA main page.
(Just toss me a PM if you decide to do that, please.)
Tried it. Great potential. 100 max items is not usable for me. I have wayyyyy too many labels.

Recently, we’ve been hard at work improving Android Market to give you new ways to find great applications and games, purchase books, and rent movies. Today, we’re releasing a new version of Android Market which makes all of these available on phones (Android 2.2 and higher).
In the U.S., you’ll be able to rent thousands of movies, starting at $1.99, right from Android Market on your phone. With the Videos app, available in Android Market, there’s no more waiting for downloads, syncing, or worrying about storage space. Simply sign into Android Market with your Google account, and you can rent movies from anywhere – the web, or your Android phone or tablet – and start watching instantly. You can also download movies to your device so they’re available for viewing when you don’t have an internet connection.
Also in the U.S., you can now purchase books from Android Market on your phone. Like movie rentals, books are linked to your Google account, so they’re instantly available across all of your devices – computer, phone, or tablet – without the need for wires or downloads.
You’ll be delighted to find we’ve overhauled Android Market to make it faster, easier, and more fun to discover great apps, movies, and books. We’ve created more space to feature some of the most interesting content of the week on the home page. We’ve added more top charts, with newer, more relevant items, and we’ve made it easy to swipe through these charts as you browse the store. We’ve also introduced new collections of great content, like staff picks and Editors’ Choice apps.
The new Android Market will be rolling out in the coming weeks to Android 2.2 and higher phones around the world. You don’t need to do anything - the update is automatic on supported phones. If you’re in the U.S., you’ll also be able to download the Videos app, rent movies, and buy books once you receive the new Android Market.
Your phone is about to get a lot more interesting! Enjoy the new Android Market.

This isn't working for me for some reason. I installed the apk but it keeps saying "The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Running cm7 nightly 19 on my HTC IS

Anyone thinks that the interface is good, but it's lagging so much that makes you hard to download any applications / update your apps.
I mean I love the "Editor's choice" and "Staff's Choice" thingy, it makes it easier for me to download apps through their recommendation but it lags
Anyway here's the default android market.
flash it using ur EX4 or clockworkmod or whatever recovery you're using
Cheers !
thanks,downloaded and installed.
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.
I was just reading at the below link about Android 4.2's new built in security protection. This was one feature that I didn't see mentioned anywhere when talking about what's new in 4.2. Thought I would pass along the information. Peace.

I hope this doesn't prevent us from installing stuff like dSploit. Since it's not allowed in the play store.

Ah I read to quickly the feature seems to be optional.
Believe it or not there is malware scanning since Gingerbread, when you installed CM7 and logged into market the first time it display a list of apps, one of it is malware scanner although it wasn't needed if you market app was a certain version, not sure how effective it really was. I guess this is an evolution of it.

I think we could still install applications as long as we continue to check the box for installing from unknown sources. Not 100% sure though.
Its optional , more for regular users that don't understand the dangers of linked apps from a Google search rather then for us more in the know users.
Would nit hurt to keep it on then turn it off when installing a app that's not on the play store.
I think its a good image move due to all the bad press android gets about so called mal ware.
