Google Earth: 2.1 ROMS (Syndicate/Epic Experience/Baked Snack, etc) - Epic 4G General

Hi,
I'm at the end of my patience here. I've had all 3 of these roms installed, and they all work great, except that google earth NEVER shows up in the market. I found a google_earth.apk, and Installed it from ES File Manager, and it works except when I try to clear the cache, or change any of the layers. And on the first attempt it crashes but 2nd or more, it will work if no settings are changed. I've already tried to fix permissions in clockwork but to no avail. Any suggestions?

From what I've read by searching Google, I think Google actually removed this from the market for some reason.
EDIT: Either that or they've changed it to 2.2 and above only. Haven't used 2.2 yet so I'm not sure if its there or not.

well then I guess I should be happy with what works??? lol! But if anyone wants the file, here it is. See what you can do with it.

I'm on the 2.2 Beta and its in the market for me. so if you really can't locate it in the market then i would assume you are right in that its only for froyo now. in which case you can probably install an earlier version of google earth and run it without any problems. i'lll see if i can find one in one of my old backups somewhere if you would like.

I would really appreciate that!

I doubt that would work, since you have to connect to google servers to run the program and they force you to use the most current version.
Worst case scenario you will get it when the official 2.2 is out, won't be long.

randomly now it works without any problems. strange.

Probably put it 2.2 only for the size. I still have ir installed on 2.1 and it works fine, I can pull the apk later and pay it If anyone wants it.

*Warning* New Market(Tmo) Is being pushed OTA

The new market will give FC's and stop you from DL'ing apps from the market. The new market from T-Mo has a new tab and isnt compat with any custom rom using test keys.
Care to cite a source for us?
Edit:
As of the... shoot what is it? The second newest CM (The other one seems to have a bad zip file uploaded D: as 3 downloads of the file with identical sizes, none of them are valid/complete) I can still download, update, and run apps from the marketplace. :3 (1:25 AM PST 12/6/09)
this sucks but i dont think it would affect the canadian users.
Had no problem downloading anything on my phone. The only inconvenience really was that it removed the custom Market Icon as well as the Downloads tab and replaced it with a T-Mobile tab. There was another small nuisance where old app that I have backed up and had installed using an app manager are now showing up as having an update available (I have them backed up and install them manually because updates have crippled the app, so I obviously don't want the update).
There is a very simple way to revert back to the old market. Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Market>Uninstall Updates.
Note, your old apps will still show up as having updates available, if you have installed backups from your sd card. Uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling did not work for me.
I have g1 with cyanogen 4.2.8 and run partioned sd card for my apps. I just went to the market after reading this and had 5 updated apps. updated and installed all with no problems.
Will have to admit that I am not clear what the orginial post was about or what he is actually trying to say. My understanding is that tmobile is trying to go after the rooted phones out there?

Nope... I'm on Dwang's v1.13 and got the update. No issues with downloading apps. T-mobile isn't trying to mess with rooted phones...just pushing T-mo specific stuff to our phones to "add value" to our Market experiences. I think Verizon does similar stuff on the Eris and Droid.
I am unable to install after the update, it will download, then force close upon installation attempt. I have to remove the update (setting, manage applications) each time I want to download from the market. Yes, it keeps updating on its own after each uninstall.
Nope, T-Mobile is not going after rooted phones. The new market update allows you to get paid apps and have them billed to your phone bill, rather then using Google Check Out. I think Sprint and Verizon are doing the same thing as well, but T-Mobile was the first to implement.

Since uninstalling the update using the method I posted, the Market update has not been reappied by T-Mobile. I think you might have other problems.

I don't think Mlign's Hero rom will get it since it's a 1.5 firmware... but I may be wrong.
I'm saying that because I haven't had a map update yet with the nav option.
I've had Market 1660 since it leaked about a week ago.
The only new tab that I notice is the one that says T-Mobile where it used to say Downloads.
Those that are gettinc FC's should try to get a logcat and maybe try clearing their cache. If that doesn't work then do a backup using nandroid then try pulling the /system/app/Vending.apk file, resign it and then push it back and see if it works then. That may be the reseason why mine works and none of yours do because I've included the newer version in my CHM Theme. However I don't have the alternate form of payment (onto the T-Mobile bill) as of yet. I just bought something domestic ($.99) and the only option that I had through Google Checkout was credit card. Those that have the new market (1660)... do you have any other payment options?

I'm wondering if it's something that T-Mobile has to activate themselves?
And I don't think that CM is going to do anything because of the C&D that he recieved after he released the 1.6 Market prematurely onto 1.5 devices.

probably though i dont know why theyre being so quiet about it, i would think if it comes to messing with your money they would at least make sure everyone knows so they dont accidentally do buy something then see it on there bill(it could happen! lol)
and i was hoping maybe cm would suggest like a work around or a solution. well, i dont really need the new market.. dont like the new category(there suggestions suck) and i actually like the google checkout! do you think there are any side effects from uninstalling the new market?

dude! i totally forgot, its gotta be metamorph. because i remember my market worked and all, then right before going to bed i messed with a bunch of metamorph mods(not themes) and then today i try the market and boom doesnt work..

you wouldn't have done a nandroid backup pre-morph, did you?
If so then restore and see if the market updates later.

New Market on N1 2.2.1?

Hey guys
How does a market update work?
I mean, how do you get it... OTA? Open Market? Clear Market Data/Cache?
my friend is right next to me and he has the same exact phone (N1 2.2.1 on Fido) but the only difference is I rooted mine (rageagainstthecage) ... both have stock ROM
Well his market somehow updated itself this morning.... anything special I gotta do?
It just does it itself when it feels like it, seems to happen when downloading something from the Market. or you can just search for and download the new .apk, v2.2.7 is the latest.

Rusty, do you have to do a special procedure to install it or clearing cache/dalvik cache and replacing the apk in /system/app does the job?
Cause I installed 2.2.7 yesterday on latest CM nightly by doing what I said. It worked perfectly the first time, I could go in My Apps and browse everything smoothly. But, as soon as I installed an app, just when it finished installing, it crashed and I could never boot the market again. Although, the app itself installed fine =\
Just install it like any other app. It will work in /system/app or /data/app (where it would normally be if stock).

Really odd that mine crashes, it would NOT install normally, it gave me "Installation failed" error.
Perhaps you could point me to the exact file you used?
Thanks for the help!
Er... I used 2.2.6 and it's now auto updated to 2.2.7, I think I used this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?ilv5hshq0lgunnr

Also, aren't there supposed to be 5 sections in the market now? (wallpapers / widgets sections?)
They've mentioned it, but doesn't seem to be implemented yet.

They're in the 2.2.7 market that came out last week. Looking at them on my phone right now.
Maybe it's another US only thing for now or something, I've still only got "Apps", "Games" and "My apps" showing up.
Reporting back: Still doesn't work.
This really sucks, I can't understand why it would work on some people's phones by getting updated automatically and not on mine by updating manually... >_>

ahhh when they said "adding 2 categories" I thought they meant Games - Apps - Wallpapers - Widgets - My Apps
Live Wallpapers and Widgets are both found under "Apps" ... they meant THAT category...
Ah right, I just assumed it'd become a carousel with them all. Whoops.
Is anyone else finding the new market a bit slow and buggy? Even on Wifi I tend to get the loading screen quite often. Also I've been having server errors for last two days whenever I try to go to "my apps" (my downloads).

Web Based Market issues

Hey Im having problems with the new web based market in that it my device isnt listed in the My Market Account settings. Older Evo's that Ive returned due to hardware issues are listed though. I can "install" apps if I choose any of the old Evos from the page but nothing appears on my phone and nothing gets installed. Ive followed the 2 DYI fix its on Googles help page but neither works. Has anyone else had problems with the web based market? If so what? And have you found an answer?

EB13 Market Issues...missing apps

I loaded up EB13 last night and had no issues until I started downloading my apps. I have Slingplayer that I purchased to watch my Slingbox on my phone while on the go. If I search the Market it is missing. At first I thought it was something with paid apps, but I noticed my other bought apps were listed. I also noticed Ringlert was not listed in the market...a free app.
If I login into the Market on a PC web browser I can find those apps with no issues. But it says I have them installed on my phone already. Umm..no I don't!
Anyone else having issues like this?
There seem to be some people, myself included, that are having issues with protected apps. I noticed that NYTimes is not showing up and neither is TMZ. I need to try a clean install and see if I still have the problem, I cannot tell if this issue is happening after a data restore from CMW, or if its a real bug. Did you do any data restore?
The problem is the market does not recognize this release as a legitimate. It will take a few days before it does. There is a fix you can apply if you search for it in the device section.

Kinda figured something like that... think that's the i9000 fingerprint fix or something like that.
Also, try to contact the developer of the app. They might be able to change something that might make it work.
Just for the Record, I'm having the same problem as well. I Installed the EB13 and Slingplayer isn't listed in the Market, I'll wait a few days to see what happens. Hopefully it's back in there cause I really don't feel like screwing around with crap.

Same problem. I have eight or so apps that I used to have that either can't see in the market after applying EB13, or that come up as "not found" on AppBrain now. Google customer service suggests that I reboot my phone. *sigh*

Slingplayer still missing. Missing on another phone that isn't rooted. He refuses to root his phone.
Clearing the cache won't help with this problem. It's on Google's side.
If you are rooted, you can always backup the apk file while on the old 2.1 or DK28 build when it showed up in the market, then reinstall by hand after loading EB13
This is now resolved for me.

Is it enough to just 'freeze' htc iq & logger?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yea, I found this last night. I was the one who originally posted it here. The article on Android Police stated that the best option was immediate removal of the HTClogger apk. I did that, and got repeated force closes over and over, literally to the point of not being able to do anything on my phone. I had to pull the battery and restore to a Nadroid I made earlier, so just removing the apk isn't gonna work. I think it has to be built out of the OS, because the system keeps looking for it. I don't know how freezing is going to work either, but I think it would have the same results. I'm waiting on word from someone who knows better than me, and hopefully the dev who built my ROM can do something to get it out.
Not sure about being able to just wipe or freeze those services, but there are a variety of rom's that have them removed, or just go with an AOSP rom and problem solved.
don't forget to wipe..

Yea, I should have thought to just reboot....what an idiot lol....I've since uninstalled IQRD, HTClogger.apk, and HTC IQAgent, and restarted and all is well. I feel much safer and less spied on now lol.
