Hi all,
Since I've upgraded my 32A to the new Radio/SPL and a HTC 3.05 based ROM, I cannot find some of my apps in the market anymore... and I'm trying to find why.
At first I noticed that I couldn't see any protected app with the official 3.05 releases (tried both Rogers' and EU) but I found that I could get them back by switching the build.prop with one from a 3.03 release as someone suggested.
By the way, if you search for "Topmarkettest" in the market you can check which app types you are allowed to see (they've made dummy apps for each type - paid, no-limitations and protected). Quite useful.
Here's a list of some of the apps I still can't find though:
- Trapster
- Layar
- Barcode Scanner
- Wikitude
- Real Time Traffic
- ABonEntendeur (ABE)
I'd appreciate if a few of you could have a look in their market for me. Please tell me if you can find these apps and the Android version/Radio/SPL you are using. It could be that a few of them are not available to the 1.5 firmware anymore (like Google maps) but that can't be the only explanation (as this happened when I changed Radio, SPL and ROM).
Thanks in advance for your help.
Edit : Just in case someone comes across this thread... I could fix the issue by installing Amon RA's Donut, launching the market (were it found the missing apps) and then reverting to CursorSense.

Just install the "RUU_Legend_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.31.707.2_Radio_47.26.35. 04_7.05.35.26L_release_121965_signed.exe" from here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5933072&postcount=1 by following this thread -->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6226764&postcount=12.
Then you can download Layar 3.0 or Barcode from the market.
did layar work, boot up ? willing to try but without root access and fully hacked legend not so much. Also will the asia radio conflict with european radio ?
Great improvement if it works
This ROM works perfectly!
You don't need root!
At this moment it is running on my legend and it works and I can find more apps then with original ROM.
Layar works perfectly too!
I'm running on a stock ASIA rom as well as below :
Software number
1.31.707.2
Build number
131.707.2 CL150763 release-keys
is this the same as this ROM? I can find layar and install it from the market. However no paid apps can be found.
If you want barcode scanner you can get the APK from: androidfreeware.org.
And you can download the working layar apk for the htc legend from: w w w . xs4all.nl/~edaudey/Layar.apk
Sounds easier to me then your solution
thanks, that worked great jjs87
both Layar and barcode scanner finally on my legend.
The real solution for now...
thanks the apk worked for me to.
It looks like this issue is finally getting solved. HTC has released a statement that a Over the Air update is rolling out in the next coming weeks for the legend :
http://twitter.com/markmoons/status/12561530809
it's the head of HTC Benelux saying this..
"Not world-wide, but (without going into detail) a large number of countries...."
Seems like the asian marked ROM never had the problem anyway
Are the the other bugs mentioned in other threads also fixed in this rom?
Otherwise I don't think it's worth the effort.

OTA update
I just installed an OTA update on my Legend, and now missing apps are showing up
For those waiting patiently, I didn't get OTA yet but when I did a manual check for updates it gave the option, downloaded, installed and can now find barcode scanner etc
Dear Friends, this is my first post ever. Sorry for possible mistakes. Fact is that I have been using with satisfaction and successfully WDE (1.1 I suppose) to add cities to my HD for a while. Then I (stupidly) tryied to upgrade to the latest version (1.2) and it started malfunctioning. Cities that were not in the original list, but edited using WDE 1.2 showed insignificant data, no temperature values and no wheater condition of the moment. Exausting manouvers suggested here and there on the web to solve the problem proved to be unsuccessful, even trying to change the 2330cfg_manila properties in win. Uninstall is also very difficult unless a .cab from a german site is previously installed: WeatherDatabaseEditor_1_1_Meins.cab (1,22 MB, 5939x aufgerufen). Is anybody out there able to give me some hints to finally solve such a annoying problem? I'd really appreciate it!
Where can one find the latest Google Apps package ? It seems as though every ROM maker has a link to one that they package up and upload to megaupload or rapidshare and so on. I assume it's not available directly from Google or is it ? Or, does it have to be customized for each ROM ?
171 thread views and no ideas ?
my guess would be that they are all the same but like with maps, once you have it, you can get it updated thru market so it doesnt reallt matter, but also certaint roms have special market.apk so if a app is out-of-date, it can proably just be updated thru the marker

OK, I fixed it. This is what I did:
First - Killed Market App using System Panel Lite. Then went into manage applications in settings and uninstalled the market app (don't worry it just deletes all market data. App is still there.)
Then follow these steps:
1 - Need root (got it from modaco ROM)
2 - downloaded root explorer from market.
3 - download the attached build.prop from

4 - Connected phone to PC and copied it to root directory as seen on pc
5 - Opened root explorer, mount the file system (clicked on RW at the top)
5 - Went to /system rename build.prop to build.prop.bak (long press)
6 - Copy build.prop from /sdcard to /system
7 - Rebooted system

Astro file manager not in market place
Hello,
I can't find or download the "astro file manager" from android market place. Even if I go via the vendor's homepage or the QR codes.
Can anybody post it here or tell me a working link for the apk-file?
Thx,
Walter
try going to metago dot net (on your phone)
then click on the download tab
See if that works.
I tried it before but it didn't work.
After resetting the phone to factory defaults I find Astro in market place but all installed applications must be reinstalled.
Can any of the previous installed apps block market place for specific apps? Are there any known apps which act like that?
You can download it from here: http://www.androidfreeware.org/
Download it man

URGENT: my phone doesn't have android market what should I do?
Hello Everyone and first of all let me congrat svetius on opening this new sub-forum dedicated to Galaxy S hopefully it will grow bigger and surpass the HTC and other Sub-Forums
Second I hope that you welcome me guys and hopefully I will try to be a useful member in this forum and I hope that all the members here are helpful and friendly as well (well ofcourse it is it's the XDA forum afterall )
ahem ok lets get to the point the moment I saw the samsung galaxy S I knew it would be my next phone and the true successor to my old omnia HD (hopefully Samsung's support for the new phone will be better than i8910) and yesterday I had the chance to test it out... the Galaxy S was released last week in Dubai and to my surprise it had Arabic language support! well some of you might wonder whats the deal with arabic support well let me tell samsung is the FIRST company to add arabic language in an android OS/phone which is btw not officially supported by google (there is no arabic language in official android rom) therefore I salute samsung for thier costumer support
NOW my main problem is that there is NO market app in the phone which is a shock!! what's the use of an android phone with no access to market it's useless in my opinion... the irony is that my country is the only country in the region that doesn't have android market support which sucks since i've been waiting for this phone for 6 months
right now I have two options: import the phone and have arabic+market but lose the warranty in the process OR buy it here and enjoy all the benefits of the warranty and the official samsung support but have no access to android market what-so-ever
is there is any way I can add the android market app to my phone through the means of root or anyway around?
appreciate the help guys
The other alternative might be to install one of the ROMs from a different region.
Android Market is illegal in U.A.E. and K.S.A. I heard of a software called Market enabler but I'm not sure how it works or if you need to root your SGS first to use it.
Can you please post images of the Arabic menus and inform us about the firmware on your SGS?
thnx for the response guys and yes I think that the andriod market is illegal in the UAE but really what harm it will be if downloaded FREE apps from the market and enjoyed the phone like other android users?! well I still haven't got the phone but I hopefully in the next 2 days and by then I will update the thread with some pictures ^_^
@TravUK can I install other roms and still retain the arabic language? it's really important for me to have a phone that supports arabic language...
btw is it possible to root the phone and install the market app from phones that have the market application? market enabler is a good option but i'd rather have the orignal android market app
I was in the same situation, I bought my Galaxy S yesterday in Dubai and found it had no market app. There was however a cut down regional market app loaded. I don't speak Arabic, so I simply flashed the latest ROM on it, this in turn killed the Arabic functionality -which is not what you want.
According to press reports, the market is simply removed in the UAE versions. Apparently it will be present in the Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Qatar models. Maybe you need to wait for a ROM image to be posted from someone there?
You could try using an alternative for such region problems like SlideMe: http://slideme.org/
@ShaggyDragon congrats on the phone man how is it? is it laggy like the vodafone models or is it an unlocked unbranded phone like the 8GB version from expansies? also beside the lack of android market app what about the features and the pre-installed apps is it the same as the European version or did we got cut out of some features( I hope not T_T)? for example does it come with layar and the e-book or did we get a rip-off version (I would be pissed to pay $725+ for a phone that doesn't come with features that it was originally advertised with)...and last question for you if you flash the phone with an official/custom rom will you retain all the apps and features that are available to SGS in other regoin( example market app, layar, aldiko etc) ?
@d0p3d thnx for your suggesstion but slide me is really poor it contains less than 500 apps as I heard... but what about market enabler does it work with SGS? and if it is does it contain all the applications that are available on the original android market?
P.S. can anyone with an UAE SGS dump their rom for us who are interested in arabic or for back-up plans? I would dump my rom but unfortunately i'm totally new to android :-/
hello guys here is an update about the SGS situation in UAE: it's sold out!!
but after searching for the phone in many shops/malls I managed to find SGS which was the last unit in the shop (the owner told me that he brought 30 units and were sold out in a matter of hours!!)
so I was excited and without thinking I pulled out my wallet to buy the last unit in stock and to my surprise it was the 8GB version :-( I asked them for a 16GB version but the guy told me that samsung haven't released an official 16GB in UAE!!
now my question for anyone who bought SGS from UAE, did you purchase the 16GB or the 8GB version and for how much?
should i wait for the 16GB or should I go for the 8GB?!
Apps no longer showing in market
Hi,
I've flashed the JG1 firmware and installed modaco's R2. Everything is running very smoothly now and there is no lag issue. Phone is almost completely perfect except, the 'National Rail' app that I paid £4.99 for is now missing from the Android Market.
I imagine this might be because I used a Russian firmware or non-official firmware?
I've tried using market enabler and paid apps enabler but no luck. Is there any way I can set the device to the UK market so I can get the app I paid for and use regularly?
Thanks

How To: Android Market Enabler, Paid Apps, Every Country
Hi, I am very happy with the new phone. Now I just want to root it, so I can get ME running. I just wondered if it would make the phone unstable, and what guide I should follow. I rooted and installed quite a few custom roms on my Magic/Sapphire.
Again, I want my phone just as it is, no less apps, no more, all I want is root and Market Enabler to work.
It's not buggy? Freezes, FC's etc?
Hell Everybody,
I arrived on this forum because I have a question about my new mobile phone.
First of all let me say that I'm a total noob about Android and the mobile phones, in fact till this moment I only used Blackberry just I decided to go into Android because I feel that is good to have the control of the device you are using.
I bought my Motorola Defy Mini XT320 last week here in Beijing (I'm living and working in China and I'm from Italy). Well everything is good, just on this device is pre-installed the Shop4Apps market where I can't find any of the application I need... Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin (this one so much) and reading around seems that if you have a pre-installed market you can't avoid to use it (maybe I'm wrong).
What I want to ask is: how can I root my devide and also after this action which things I have to do in order to be able to take the applications from the android's market that I prefer?
Some information about the phone:
Android 2.3.6
Kernel 2.6.38.6 [email protected] #2
Build number 02.19.08
I really hope that someone can help me, just I really feel that the mobile is useless if I'm not able to install the application I want...
Thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Eros
Ciao Ciao
Your phone is very new, and it can't be rooted right now.
I understand that it doesn't have Google Play (android market)?
You can't install the GMarket without root, I don't think.
Others, maybe you have a solution?
My suggestion is to sideload apps you want.
This is to download the APK files of an app, say DropBox, and transfer to phone.
Then install using file manager.
facebook and twitter unavailable in china
you'r still unable to use facebook and twitter with ordinary network in china because of the network block by the government, even though the apps are installed. but it can be solved with vpn or something like that.
hi everybody!
first of all, i'm sorry for my horrible (and brief) english...
there are news about defy mini root?
I've tried superoneclick, z4root and motofail, but they don't worked.
Thank you!
Hello,
perhaps you could try Aptoide, it's an alternative market with all types of apps.
Install included .apk as well as Aptoide Repos(Search Aptoide!), hope this helps.
Android is no fun with Shop4Apps.
These are the steps:
Install APtoide, followed by Repos.
Search for apps, they will ask if you want to add stores.
Select the stores you want to add, then update stores.
Open Aptoide then use as normal market.
Here is the PUBLICly available .apk.
