Google Play Store app - Captivate Themes and Apps

I'm on the CM9 alpha, & since they announced Google Play Store, I can no longer use the "market" website. It just says that my account doesn't have a device. But when I look at the error that says, "don't see your device," it says:
If you don’t have the Google Play Store app pre-installed on your device, contact your carrier or manufacturer for further assistance.

Sweet. Well, I see an apk over in the Infuse forums... will this work on our Captivates?

When I opened the app store this morning it updated me to play store automatically (i'm on aokp). So you can try to wait it out and probably get the update soon.
but to answer your question, that .apk should work.

So you just saw a notification that you were being upgraded or....? Market interface does look different for me, but I don't think the shortcut to launch it has changed.
Are you able to use the Market/Play website?
*Edit - I just fired up Market again to check & got a Google Play Store license agreement. I went to My Apps to check for updates, but still am unable to use the website (from my desktop - still "no device").

It worked for me

Just installed the .apk from the Infuse forums, & while it's functioning, I can't buy any apps. The error:
An error occurred while creating your order

Also still don't have any devices listed under my account at play.google.com
**Update - came back from lunch & everything's working; even the website.

Still no update for poor ol' me..

Did you try installing that .apk I linked? That's what I did...

Yep, doesn't give an error or anything, just says it's not installed.

to ensure I could install it I cleared cache and data as well.

i installed the app, and now the market app is no longer in my app drawer.
Edit: a couple reboots fixed it

Don't try to install it. instead you need to paste it into your system/app folder with permission rw-r--r--. you might want to backup your old market apk just in case something goes wrong.

Mine has yet to update itself too. I found this. Probably going to update.

Just Wipe Cache of Market using Titanium backup and Re-launch it..
It will ask for License thingi.. Click Accept and You will get the Update soon..

Organize your Android apps into groups.
GroupHome is a program that organizes all the apps you've installed on your phone. It automatically groups together apps using the categories shown in Android Market. This grouping approach helps you find apps faster. You can long-press on an app to uninstall it or view its details.
Requirements:
· Android OS
Pretty damn cool actually. Would definitely be great for people with tons of apps installed.
Looks great, but whatever you attached only has a file folder included. There's nothing to install, no apk.
EDIT: Google is my friend. Searched and found it: http://www.jsharkey.org/blog/2008/12/15/grouphome-organize-your-android-apps-into-groups/
whoops lol I zipped up an empty folder
Fixed it...sorry about that.
SWEET! I was just thinking this was something that was really needed! Thanks. Who is the developer? This is definitely needed for the sliding dock. I hate having my apps shuffled around whever I ad one or two.. It's so hard to find stuff.
how do i add this app? details please
it's annoying how you can't actually replace the launcher with this. that would be awesome. using this as a seperate app, which you have to load from the launcher seems stupidly pointless to me. i think i'll wait.
the only thing I hate about this app is that it starts slow at the first time (fine) and after one or more apps get uninstalled (erhhh) and after I do a restart (grrrhh).

first go to settings > Application settings > and check unknown sources.
Then place the apk on the root of your SD card
Then go to the app market and install app installer.
Start app installer and it will find the apk on your sd card and install it.
You can remove the apk after installation.

There is also a app called "Linda file manager" that works great too for more then just running the installer.

i got no replies for app installer in th market
Like I said you can use "Linda file manager".
or try apkInstaller or AppsInstaller but just be 100% sure you typed either one in EXACTLY how it's spelled or you won't get anything

This is a very nice app. This should of been built into the default os. Anyway way to change the categories(spelling). My uncategorized list is huge.
Astro is the right way to go!

Agreed. I made an icon for it and sent him the file. I guess if he likes it he'll use it. We'll see in a few days.

[APP] Install Busybox

I wanted to post this to my fellow Xoom users since I found the Xoom didn't play very nice with busybox (hope it's in the right section). I also noticed the app to install busybox on the market didn't work well so I decided to make my own. I'm posting it here for testing but I plan on having it being a free app on the market.
The layout wasn't directed toward a tablet but still looks pretty plus it should work on all phones.
Let me know how it goes.

should busy box be installed in chin or bin? Will definitely check this out.
it wont detect root.
Worked fine on my DX. No problems at all.
Got it to work on my Xoom. I got the root message the first two attempts at running it, saying my device was not rooted, went to Superuser and forgot busybox twice, got the message to allow busybox again, then it launched ok. I was able to download and install busybox. Nice!
Does this replace Busybox if an older version is installed already?

Cool app, I had just recently, last night gotten busybox on the market to install on the Xoom, and tonight I'm recompiling the latest version of busybox specifically targeted for the Xoom, so everything should work after tonight
I like the layout of your app, makes me want to restyle the layout of mine.

It is up to you, you can install to either.
What device is that? It looks pretty sweet! Installing BusyBox now; I'll let you know if TiBackup works now.

UPDATE: I managed to install BusyBox in system/xbin (used dropbox for d/l). But when I start TiBackup it still shows (BusyBox 1.16.0 from app) and does not list any applications. Is there a way to overwrite the previous BusyBox installation?
Update 2: I manually copied the new BusyBox version into the TiBackup folder and it shows up in TiBackup now but still no luck with an updated app list. I guess I'll just wait until the devs fix that...
I installed this app last night but when I tried to install the newest version of busybox, it downloads the file but then says that it can't add the appropriate permissions and can't install it. Please help. I am on version 1.17.1 trying to go to either 1.18.4 or the 1.19.

If you have a rooted device, go to /data/app maybe some file is left from the last time you downloaded it. At least, that's what the usual solution is for me
Clear your cache/history. If you are rooted there are some good cleaners I use SD maid which is very good and free from play store or here in xda.
Just search forum or use Google to find it

I am rooted but I've never downloaded that app before

Try clearing the cache of your google play store - services by going to Settings -> Apps -> Find Google Play Store and click it -> Clear Data - Clear Cache -> Reboot
Do the same for Google Play Services(not sure if it is needed but try it )

unfortunately for me, it fails to install....on Preview 3
you wont be able to install it without root. it does not install like a regular app. you need to place it into either /system/app/ or /system/priv-app/ then reboot for it to install itself. stock you cant do that, with root you can.

I am curious why you want to update.
On my N6 Google app 4.1.29 etc is still working. Downgrade was necessary, else the Black Google Now launcher will become white instead of black.
Secondly I need to block Google app from updating.
Maybe you need to check your settings concerning auto updates.
Play store - My apps - Google app - above right 3 dots - auto update - check box.

updating it to 5.2 changes googles layouts for google now(more colorful and better tiles for info), and it changes your app drawerer to a side scrolling version, instead of the m up and down version. i changed mine yesterday to see what the big deal is. to be honest, google now looks much better.

I'll be honest to. I am using dpi 384. And the Black Google Now launcher. I love it and the drawer has also side scrolling.
I wish I had the power to kick Google's ass to make sure we get a marshmallow with a Light/Dark Material switch.
The problem did not dissapeared. I'd installed google app 5.2 manually and it works but in playstore it is still 5.1. Factory reset do not work
Playstore updated to new 5.9.11 and the problem solved. Thanks all. Please close the topic

Need help with Layers Manager Update........ please

If anyone out there can help me, I'd really appreciate it.
I have a Nexus 6, Verizon, running Pure Nexus 5.1.1 (screenshot below)
I've been getting this irritating message for weeks now, stating the "Layers Manager" can't update via the Google Play Store. I don't know how to fix this and it's become quite annoying every night when I update my apps before bed.
Screenshot of said problem below.
I'm by no means an expert at ROM management, but I went from rooted stock to this ROM because I got tired of the google security update not working, due to my being rooted. I really like this ROM and this is the only problem I've had with it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

in the "what's new" section of the play page it says for error code 505 is caused when trying to update over the v4.3 beta #4 version being a system app. I can't remember 100% if pure nexus rom has it installed in such a way but essentially the error is fixed by uninstalling the old version and installing the new version.

Thanks so much for this tip.
I just tried uninstalling the app, but it won't let me. I went into apps-all-layers manager, but there is no uninstall option
yea since its error 505 its installed as a system app so you would need to use titanium backup or some other "debloating" tool to remove it. Make sure you backup your theme preferences inside the app so you don't have to resetup everything.
For titanium backup you would open the Backup/Restore tab and find the layers app in the list. First off hit the Backup! button so you'll have something to fall back on in case of problems, then hit the red Un-install button. It may ask for a confirmation. Then you should be able to go and install the google play updated version.

Will post update.
**UPDATE**
I tried what you said and it worked!
I uninstalled Layers via Titanium and then tried to update via Play Store, but got the same error. So I rebooted the phone, then went back into Play Store and it installed. Hopefully this will be a fix in the future. I don't know what Layers even is. I don't ever use it.
Thank you so much for your help!
