Any way to make Windows Marketplace install apps to the storage card?

Hi all
I've seen a hacked .cab of Marketplace so that you can run Marketplace from the storage card, but is there a way yet to make the Marketplace app that is installed as part of 6.5, give the user the choice of where to download and run apps purchased via marketplace?
I've seen plenty of pages around the net with people complaining about this. Understandably as most have 3+ GB of storage card space but 200- mb of device memory. Although I've yet to find a solution anywhere so I figured xda would be the place to ask.
I have heard that if the device is full it will let you install to the storage card, so would there be a way to enable this option without filling the device?
Appologies if this has already been addressed, if so can someone point me at the answer?
Cheers!

the 5th cab isn't available to download so I tried the 4th cab which let me install market place on the storage card, which is great, as it frees up more phone memory, but at no point during installing an app am I able to chose to install to the storage card.
Just in case someone was going to point me there first.
Thanks

the 5th cab is available. click on the link in the attached files section at the very bottom of the first post. it works perfect. been using it for awhile.

Since its a Marketplace topic i'll ask a question!
Marketplace, doesn't work for me, because of the country i live in..
I install it and when i execute the program, it says that "my country does not support that application"
That totally SUCKS!
Such a usefull program with no use.
Is there a way to hack the program and make it download from marketplace servers (or wherever it is )?

Thanks again.

I have 2 VPN's here at home one to the USA and one to the UK. If i switch the traffic to one or the other i get the market of the respective country. So you can either run a vpn client on your tablet or at the router level (openwrt based for example) and route the traffic with an appropriate VPN provider.

so there is no other way than vpn ??
so .. this mean the market recognized country from the isp, not from the rom.. right?

yes, i believe so. With a phone/3g model tablet, it will use the MCC and MNC codes of your telco provider to decide where you are and as you move countries that changes so you'll get the market of that country. For the wifi model it will use the ISP to decide your location. Market enabler just faked the MCC and MNC codes to make it appear that you're in another country.

Try to clear market data and cache et run it again. should work.

I get screwed because they think I'm Mexican. I'm American. Big difference. I don't use pesos. Just because I can read the Spanish doesn't mean I'm gonna buy a damn thing until they fix my market.

okey...
so after clearing the data and cache...
the market change
but only the currency is changed to USD
i still cant download those apps
it said 'the application can not be installed in your country'
why is this?? is it a rom problem??
i can download every free app in my htc desire even if i dont use market enabler
this is very annoying

I have the same probs..
Last day before i tried to root my iconia a500,I still can download from the market and everything running well.. but after i tried to root and make ad-hoc connection when i connect to the market and download some app, i got notice "the application can not be installed in your country"
it`s something wrong with the wpa_supplicant(i used to root),internet connection,or google account ??
thx before..

Since its not your fault and you want to pay for apps, I say just download the 4shared app and search "Apk " ;-) you'll find a market that works

Unable to update Google Maps

Since my market application was updated to the new "windows phone metro style" market, I am unable to update Google Maps application.
I keep getting the message that "a new update is available for "[email protected]"" and when I tap on it, I see that there is an update for Google Maps application. Unfortunately, I cannot proceed to the update because the market says that my device is incompatible with the application. Of course this is not possible, because I already have it. See the attached pictures for yourself.
How can I fix that? Any ideas?
Thanks!

If your device is rooted just install market enabler from market,change provider settings and then try again.It worked for me...

My device is not rooted and I do not wish to root it.
This problem shouldn't have occurred. It doesn't make sense to me...
How does the market say that the application is not compatible, while I already have it?

This may help:

I know, I also have this problem on some apps...Maybe it is a bug from updated market.Try uninstalling market updates to revert to the old version,that worked sometimes too...

Thanks for your replies. I still can't find a way to fix it.
The odd thing is that on market.android.com the application looks compatible and I can even push it to install. It doesn't seem to do anything on the device, though...

That will probably work...
With the old version of market, I would hold tap the update and another menu would appear on which I have been selecting "Update". This menu does not appear within the new market...

Download the update from here, and it should give Market a kick up the backside, and hopefully sort it:

Just had a thought, try clearing your market data in Settings- Applications-Manage-All.

I had a same problem with the desktop version of android market, it wouldnt do anything because my phone wasnt "connected" to it. All i did was clear cookies and it recognized my device back. Try that

We, Greeks, cannot install Google Maps and Google Earth. Don't know why. Just find the .apk (latest Google Maps is 6.0.0).

How can I remove carrier installed apps on S8 - Rogers Canada

Hello
I want to uninstall and remove and spotify app which came pre-installed with the phone. I am using S8 on Rogers network in Canada. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Have you tried disabling the apps you don't need? If you haven't, then long press on the shortcut and pick "app info". There you will find disable button(if not grayed out). That is the easiest way off turning off the app which won't show in your apps anymore, but it won't uninstall it.

Thanks for the tip.
However, I have my own apk and wouldn't install saying the system already have file with same name. I can disable but it will not solve my problem. Any work around or ways to remove the preinstalled spotify files?

I have not tried it personally, but check this tread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 There could also be other methods/apps that would help.

Try clearing app data than uninstall updates, this can be found in settings/apps.

Go to apps then click Spotify then click storage then clear data and cache.
If you want to remove the pre installed version you need to be rooted to remove system apps.
The all you have will be the same as the one pre installed. You can always download an updated version.

Not if its a hacked version of Spotify.
I see no reason why someone would disable the included Spotify app to load "their own version"
The included app can be updated right from the google play store, so there is no reason someone should be uninstalling it to install a .apk version.
I am on a Rogers S8, so I know this is true.

Change your csc to xac https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71525525&postcount=1413 this will wipe your phone but get rid of all rogers bloat.

Thanks for the link to the forum post.
But the problem is - after doing this, the phone restarts and erase everything again and installs all the carrier apps. Is there anyway this can be stopped?
Thanks a lot.

Pull your sim card out and change it to xac.

Will it be different or remain the same when I put the sim back in? My experience is the sim erases everything and install all the carrier apps again.

Check out this XDA article. It details instructions to remove apps/packages without root, using ADB. Be super careful doing this or using a package disabler app Like BK Package Disabler or Adhell (which is free)...if you disable the wrong system package you may end up disabling important functions/features.
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

What you can do is only disable it. That's what I'm doing with texture also and zone. Don't flash XAC if you are still a Rogers user you will loose wificall and Volte.
Only time you can remove it completely is to root. (Not available)
Or flash the XAC but modify the feature file in XAC to add the lines to enable wifi call and Volte. And again not possible cause there is no root yet.
So it takes you back to the 1rst and only option and don't try any even when they claim it uninstall without root(it does not work with Samsung phones )
Just disable it "I think you know how hold the app icon and you see a popup to disable"
If you rebooted the phone , app will not show to show it back enable it again .
When any app is disabled you can't download the app it will tell you it's available unless if it's a higher version.
So if for some reason you want to have a clone " exemple disable original Spotify to download a cracked ) use apk unpacker and change the signature name on the cracked apk.
