If your phone is rooted you can use Market Enabler (find it on the Android Market from your phone) to unlock paid apps.

hoping that I'm not stating the obvious here.. have you all gone into mediascape, press the Menu hard button, select "music home settings"; select show on-line service.. then when you come back out of MS it will be showing at the bottom of the music home screen.
Apologies if you've already tried this!

PlayNow is not on Canadian Rogers X10a either If I activate the online service under Mediascape I got some stupid Rogers' urMusic service

the only thing i get when i press the menu is get album artwork.

same here, only album art

Same here missing since I did the SEUS update after the OTA update whilst trying to see if SEUS had a later update than 020

install it as a normal apk Mediascape will detect it as a plugin

ERROR PARSING PACKAGE DATA (btw for reference it does not say install it says uninstall launch) its as though its installed but corrupted you cannot install nor uninstall

UPDATE got it working use OI file manager and then it installs yay!

it works, thanks a lot!

does anyone happen to have the playnowupdater.apk? my playnow only has a very few free apps and games, but no media such as music at all, wondering if this is due to restriction on the current version.

i believe it is because there is no play now online store in your current market for xperia x10 yet. This happens to me in US. Only a few free apps and games. no others stuffs are available.

I don't get any music features in Playnow here in the U.S. but I do get games and apps. More than what I had before.

Market problems with new root?

Hi, I know I've read of other people having the same problem I'm having where there are apparently missing from the market. Has anyone found a solution?

Which root method did you use? I had the market issues with the first couple of root versions, but my phone and the market are working perfectly now with the latest 3 step version. Im also using market enabler with no issues either. Would consider re-rooting with the newest method. Really doesnt take very long once you get used to it.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App

I've used the latest R2B020 3 step method (with steps 4 and 5 for my Rogers X10a). Still can't find Pure Calendar Widget, or Tapatalk Pro. I should try enabler...

He's got a point.. There used to be an app before on the market called countouch launcher but somehow disappeared from mine!!
Everything else is perfect though.. removed alot of the built in apps and it runs smooth as ever for me
All thanx to the geniuses who rooted this phone!!

There is a problem because of the region the firmware's from.
I got market enabler, but there's some apps I want that I still don't see in the market
If anyone knows how to configure market enabler to allow stuff from rogers (canada) that'd be great

Yeah, got the same issues with my X10a. Market enabler app is quite simple really. all it does is use the MCC MNC codes (see wikipedia) for you mobile operator and sets them in some config files (see the wiki on market enabler project hosting website).
There is something much deeper going on here. I had purchased UltimateJuice before rooting with the crappy Japanese Firmware and market was able to find it after the root as well. But, this time around with the R2BA020 firmware... not quite so.
I wrote to the developer of UltimateJuice and he mentioned that Android Market terms forbid some access to rooted/custom firmwares. Personally I don't see how how Google manages to enforce that.
There is certainly some way in which we can tweak around the settings somewhere to make Android Market realize that we are legit. I mean look at brut.all's google navigation hack...
EDIT: I did try almost all the market enabler settings but didn't manage to to see my app. The developer told me that he had create a version specifically for that situation (its called UltimateJuice (Alternate))... lacking more details, I dont know what that means...

Interesting... I don't think root has anything to do with it though because I have been missing these Alps since I flashed r2ba020 originally (the telenor one).
I too can confirm that market enabler does not work. What I'm wondering is if Google is limiting the apps in some way because the firmware us new.

I think it's some kind of market bug. I had the same when I debranded from 1.0.14 o2 to 1.0.16 generic.
After some weeks everything worked fine again. So I think google has to unlock new firmware for their market ?!?

Make sure you system kill (with taskpanel etc) the market after you make changes with market enabler. Maybe obvious, but some may forget.a

i'm having almost the same problem, i tried download the market enabler and and tried to view in market for paid software but cant see any also, i used appbrain i can see a few only but not much at all

I'm also having some problems with the market, before root I had an app called myplayer which was a bbc iplayer app.
Can anyone else who is in the UK check the market to see if you can find this app?

I believe this is dependent on the firmware region that you use to root the device. The myPlayer app is restricted to the UK only, so if the firmware is not officially recognised as a UK build you will not be able to see the app on the Android Market.

I am on UK branded O2 firmware R1FA016 and I can see the myplayer app in the market.
I am not rooted.

Thanks a lot for checking mate.
I have now installed Market Enabler, according to it I was already identifying as Orange UK (234-33). I have tried all other UK network codes and still cannot see the myplayer app.
Does anyone have a link to the .apk file so I can bypass the market altogther?

Issues
I am another proud owner of a rooted x10a (now x10i)
But I got problems, I cannot sent MMS with the rooted phone, it just looks like im missing an app because, but i don't know where to find it, and I have the right APNs. So if someone can help us out with this issue I'll will be very grateful.
Also timescape is missging the facebook and tweeter plug-ins :-S
You guys are my best shot

Now, this is interesting to me. I tried to do the rooting option, but I got stuck on step 2, which couldn't find my device. So I used SEUS to update, and it let me update to R2BA020. I assumed that, coming through SEUS, this would be an official, unrooted update, as if I was going back to the default (although it came on O2 in the UK with the R_whateveritwas_016 firmware). I didn't like the idea that a rooted phone caused a few issues anyway, but the R2BA020 update has made a HUGE difference to my battery life.
Then I noticed that the O2 branding had gone - not much, just O2 updates in Timescape that I didn't want anyway...
But I noticed that my lovely Death Star Clock was no longer in the market, and MyPlayer also has gone...
Dang... so it seems like my phone no longer thinks I am in the UK or something.
I've got Beebplayer though, which I preferred to MyPlayer anyway.
But, it's a bugger... I LOVED my Death Star clock!

Did I get a used or otherwise non-stock phone? Strange "Caping" app preinstalled.

I ordered an advertised-as-new Mi A1 via a US seller on Amazon. Phone came with this very odd app pre-installed. No launcher item, but it was installed. When opened, it showed the attached screen. Was able to find it in the Play Store as well. Text is in Indonesian, only.

got this app on my phone after feb update ... just uninstalled it, don't know what it is at all

Yep! Seems like it came with the update. DIdn't see it in my app drawer, but when I looked for in Play it said it was installed and that it wasn't installed through Play. No problem uninstalling it though.

Probably a bundling deal for Indonesian phones. I'm in Indonesia but haven't got the update yet so I can't confirm, though.
