you'll have to install that as a system app, viper should have a removed app folder on your interal storage

Ok i found the apk hiding in /system through titanium. Titanium said it was installed but like i said it wasnt on my list of apps. So... i uninstalled it through titanium and attempted to install it again, no dice. "App not installed"
Use something like root explorer and paste the apk in /system/apps DONT INSTALL!

How about trying a clean install. I'm on viperROM and it's in my app drawer. Works perfect, as well.

ok here is what I would do
http://androidcommander.com
download this file, connect your phone with adb debugging enabled. This program will find your device, from there you can open an extracted rom browse the rom until you find the HTC TV app and install it as a system app,
I did this for my evo 3d when devs took out the 3d widgets I used.

When you say "install as a system app" do you mean place it on the app folder in system/app then reboot?

no if you double click the apk file for HTCTV another window will open, when you click install a third window will open and the last option is install as a system app, select that one and click install
this will chmod the app file as 777 allowing it be executed. I think your system is not set as rw and only as ro.

Neat app. Followed the instructions went exactly as you described, install was "successful" but nothing shows up in my app drawer. Rebooted to see if that would fix, still no dice. Im beginning to think downloading the full rom will be the best idea. If i do, would i need to wipe? I know i should wipe if going to a different rom but in this its the same rom.

oh. ha, sorry. Im running CM 6.1. I use clockworkmod recovery. it was doing fine until i installed the new marketplace.
If you're downloading from a site, like getjar.com or something, make sure you have "Install from Unknown Sources" allowed. I use Astro file manager to install them afterwards. You might want to try that one.
I've tried a bunch, and found the one I chose seems to do so much
But no matter, if you haven't already go through your command prompt and type su to gibe super user access to do its thong

Quick question, did you install the .apk after you downloaded it?
No, it didn't let me. But I can still see and use the new marketplace. It's just when I try to install an .apk from the browser. It says the whole "no application can be found to open this file." But when i go through Astro, it lets me install the apps there. It's like the package installer isn't being recognized or something in the browser...
And now it tries to open the apk with Gameboid. :/

Don't install things from the browser then. Its not the new market that's causing the problem. What browser are you using?
Dolphin HD. I've tried that one, opera, and some the stock one and still nothing. But ya, it'll still let me get them from Astro. Thanx though. =]]
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Just download ES File explorer and install from there. Browser is definitely not the best route for installing .apk's.
It seems that since updating to the AT&T 2.2 Froyo update and rooting the market will not recognize any side loaded apps that have been added to the phone since upgrading to 2.2. All apps that I side loaded on 2.1 are recognized and can be updated but nothing on 2.2. Anyone else have this problem and if so have you been able to fix this issue?
I used SuperOneClick to root the phone and did a reboot the phone afterward to allow side loading of apps and it is working. I am still using the adb install command to side load all my apps, is this wrong?
If this is something that is not to be discussed I apologize now.
Well I don't have a direct answer to your question but since you are rooted I highly suggest you go and get Titanium Backup along with atrackdog.
The former application will alloa you to backup any applications you want (or aall of them) and then save them to your computer. you can then move the folder to any phone and use Titanium to reinstall the applications exactly where you left off. That means launchers will have the same layouts and games will still have their save states.
The latter will allow you to check the update status of those applications since they won't show up as downloaded applications from the market.

Titanium Backup has been installed since rooted on 2.1 but will have to check out atrackdog. Thanks for the help so far.

side loaded paid apps will NEVER show in market.

tibu has never been able to restore market links for me either.
there used to be a program MCleaner but it got taken off the market..
but all it did was this (do it yourself)
Menu button > Settings > Applications > Manage Apps > All > Market
- force stop
- clear data
- clear cache (if availavle)
restart market > my apps

Actually, it does. Market only keeps track of the apps you buy/download through it. What you're asking is like expecting Wal-Mart to know what you bought from Target.
Hey guys I just had a question while reading through the replies.
I downloaded atrakdog and got a list of all the apps needed to be updated.
One of the apps was the market..
Mine is version 2.3.4
I need to update to 5.0.12
How do you update market? Btw I'm running cm7 does this effect it?
Sent from my phone
Market should update automatically. As far as the sideload apps you can. Also get root explorer and copy paste them to system/app then reboot and they'll all be there.

So your are saying instead of using adb installer just do a drop and drag to the system/app folder and install them that way? Now will that put them in the market place? I don't quite understand what you are really saying here. Excuse my ignorance.

That's exactly what I was thinking was moving the file to the system/app file then reinstalling the .apk first then doing the 3 button reboot to see if it would recognize the app on the market. I did try just a 3 button reboot after side loading a few apps using ADB Installer and just doing the normal drop and drag to the sim card and I know that doesn't recognize them. I am going to try and reinstall one of my apps that way and I will let you know if it shows up or not.
When trying to move a new .apk file to the system/app file it says "You cannot paste here because the file system is a read-only."

Hi, I downloaded the Cosmic Flow live wallpaper and put the apk file onto my SD card. But when i open the file in astro, there is no install option. I tried downloading wallpaper from several different sites but none of them work. Any ideas? This method has worked for me previously.
Maybe your "PackageInstaller.apk" is missing/corrupted. It's the app which installs non-market apps.
It's explained here -->
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones
make sure you have enable non-market apps>click the apk which you want to download>click "open app manager">click "install"
if you cannot install an app like this then i dont know watch goin on....

I strongly suggest you flash a new ROM.

Try moving them into /system/app and then restart. If they don't appear in the app drawer then I guess try going into /system/app and installing the apk.

Follow these instructions exactly. no one guided you in detail.
1) Open root explorer if those apks are already in your /system/app folder, press R/W at the top and it will become R/O.
2) Now go to those files you are trying to install. Long press on them and select permissions. Then check all 3 boxes of the first row (READ) and only the 1st box of the second row (WRITE) and no boxes of the third row (EXECUTE). This will make your permissions rw-r--r-- as mentioned by the previous poster.
3) Now press the R/O at the top so it becomes R/W and reboot your device.
That's it. Your system apks will auto install themselves upon reboot. You never are supposed to press install within the system folder, which is why it wasn't working for you in the first place.
