Question about some apps

I see some apps that say do not download on 2.1. Does that include 2.1 rom's?

Examples??
I would assume that they are not compatible with the 2.1 SDK's... which would have to take really bad programming because Google is really up tite lately about legacy code in their SDK's always being 100% backwards compatible to old software(That is of course with the exception of new Android features).

Are there any 2.2 specific apps out yet? that's the only reason I can think that an android app won't work on 2.1

3rd party apps?

The android market on your phone has it all. What are you looking for that is not there?
You are not suggesting cracked apps are you?

You might be interested in http://XDA-developers.com/category/android/ they also have a great Android section in their forums.

Is there a site where you can download the apps via PC then push (SDK) them to your phone? Or do you have to download via phone first?

I am looking for a site to actually download the apk on the computer and not the phone. So far all the site I see only give you the option to download via phone using bar code or link.
Next question, Once an app is installed on device, are you able to pull the apk from the phone to your computer for backup?

Install this....

Install "market enabler", I think your phone has to be rooted with super user access.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I believe newer versions of it are called "market access". You can get it here: http://amip.tools-for.net/android/MarketAccess
In the future, please put questions in the dedicated Q&A forum, and remember that the forums are searchable - there are already threads about this question that have been here nearly since release.

Sorry, apparently it's actually a fork.

market access doesn't alway work with every rom. I can be running an i9000 rom and still not be able to download some apps (Live Scores for example) when set to any of the other markets. I can install Eugene's rom based on the Vibrant and be able to download apps like Live Scores.

[REQ] Google music apk

Can someone in the us please pull the google music off the market and post it here for those of us who are not american?
Thanks in advance

It doesnt work outside the US. But Paul from MoDaCo has the apk and a possible way to make it work for non US users.

This worked for me-> it has mirrors for the musik apk and some instructions on how to get the invite for those who live outside the US

found another link
http://alex.leonard.ie/2011/05/11/requesting-a-google-music-beta-invite-outside-the-usa/

Thanks, but doesn't work for me. If I use MarketEnabler, I can finde the music app in the Market, but it refuses to install, claiming that it's invalidly signed.
If I download the apk from the link above, package installer terminates with a simple 'not installed' message.
Rooted Euro Tab on Swisscom, Switzerland.

Rapax, have you installed honeycomb music player before that? If yes - delete it..

I get the same thing here after upgrading to Gingerbread (Overcome) - I used MarketEnabler to download it from the Market; happily running under Overcome 1.6.x (Froyo) but after Gingerbread all it does is force close upon running.

Yeah Google Music crashes each time since the Gingerbread update... Overcome and Stock too

Here too
Euro tab GSM, running GB overcome 2.0 beta 2
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

I pinned down the crashes to two reasons:
Obviously Samsung built our 2.3.3 on rather outdated code and modified some pieces of the mediaprovider...
Usually, the Stock-Music apk allows access to the MediaPlayBackService and Google temporarily revoked access in 2.3.3, so Samsung thought it would be a great opportunity to **** around with the existing code and Changed some things in the Stock MediaProvider-Service thingy
That's the major reason why the Google Music Beta crashes in 2.3.3 but works great in 2.2
So it is not a "Google Thing", it is a "Samsung Thing" and Samsung would have to fix that.. We all know that this won't be likely to happen, so there are two possibilities I see here... We fix it ourselves or someone clever ports the MediaProvider including access to the MediaPlayBackService from the current CyanogenMod 7.something builds to the Galaxy tab. I tried and failed as the modules crashed on boot and I had to reflash the whole system
Anyone interested in getting that done? I'd do it, but I've too little time at the moment to get it done properly :-/ it shouldn't be that hard anyways, I guess...

Someone needs to make this work. I have all my devices working beautifully with Google music without a problem except on my galaxy tab running overcome 2.0.

I can confirm that the latest update of google music works on galaxy tab with Gingerbread

Have you tried deleting the application data and reboot then? :-/ I used the official market version btw. but that shouldn't make much difference... as I pulled it directly after the install from my tab.

No option to install out of market apps!!

You have to enable non-market apps using Odin,

Or install a rom to your phone like continumm this will automaticly allow non market apps

On the oneclickroot program there's an option to " allow non market apps" to unlock your phone you'll need to SEARCH xda or Google/xda on the one click unlocker for captivate. Some captivates it works others are to new. + galaxy s unlocker in the market has proven to work for some.
