Question about the market from a total noob

Hello all. Had an iPhone then a windows phone 7 device until about a week ago. Bought an Orange san Francisco, cracking little phone. I had rooted it and was running a custom firmware. I like Android so much I bought a desire he yesterday, it rocks. The question I ask, is on the san Francisco, if I search for say "youtube downloaded" in market place I get a lot more results that if I do the same search on my desire hd. I'm using the newest market place app on both and both are on the same WiFi network. Any ideas? Sorry if this has been asked previously, but I can't figure out how to search in the xda app, please don't flame me for my ignorance.

Could only guess due to different versions of android. if you are sure that you are using the same Search string in Market then am puzzled too.

I have 2.2 on my desire, but used both a leaked custom 2.2 curtosey of modaco, and a standard 2.1 on the Dan Francisco. Is there an alternative web place I can get the free android apps from. Note, in not requesting free apps, just an alternative place I can search for the free apps.

The fast boot option hides some apps in market. Try unchecking that.
It is in Settings -> Applications

You can try Appbrain, and in DHD try HTC Likes - it inturn searches market but they are very usefull in app discovery.

The fast boot settings says, u need to disable this for some market apps to work. NOt sure whether will it hide anything from showing to the user...

If you have rooted your Desire HD take a look for Market Enabler on the market.

Problems with Genisoid & Snesoid running on GV 1.5??

What's up everyone, I am new to the forums and I recently perm-rooted my G2. GingerVillian runs great but I can't seem to get my games I've installed multiple times, to play on the emu's, when I load any game in rom grabber it auto sends me to the market to dl the light versions of both emu's every time seemingly not recognising my already installed emu's. Should I maybe try reflashing GV 1.5??

Maybe try reboot, and then if not work try reflashing. I don't know if either will help though.

Well poo, rebooted even after another re-install and that didn't do anything. Guess I will just try to reflash for now..

I finally got the latest version of SNESoid working on my CM7, are you on the newest version? I posted up the same thing and told to check version and it helped me, lol

Do I need to update with nightlies of Cm7 if I'm running GV 1.5??

No don't try to update with CM7 nightlies, as those are different from GV1.5, although GV1.5 is based on them. However, if you want to switch to them, that might help, who knows?

True may do that then its

Still no luck. I reflashed and tried using just CM7 this time but Genisoid and Snesoid both do the same thing. I try to open a a game that was installed with rom grippper and it just won't load any games only the light versions will play them! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Can anyone help?

I recently rooted and installed GV 1.5 as well. im having the same problem with tiger gba and tiger genesis. In my case, the emulator ROMS app works fine and downloads roms, and the emulators start up, but when I load any of the games, it doesnt boot them, its just returns me to the select rom screen. i would appreciate any help on this matter. i thought it may be a case of the emulators not being compatible with gingerbread. I would be curious to know if anyone had a working emulator on any of the custom froyo roms.

The only emu that I have gotten to work is PSXdroid. None of the other ones work with CM7.

Well that's poop ill be sure to try out the psxemu! Thanks for everyones input!

That's strange... I have cm7 rc1 and all those apps work for me including gensoid and gameboid. Did u try opening the app first and browsing to the rom thru the app?? It will ask u to browse to the bios fisrt, then u can continue browsing and load a game. Romgripper is cool for getting games, but why use it to load them up??
Hope this helps ;-)

Never once was asked to browse to bios, not even b4 I started using GV 1.5! Its probably just thus OS!

Unable to access Books Tab via Android Market App (FC)

For few days now I'm unable to access Books in Android MArket on my GTab.
Every single time I'm tapping on the Books Tab it forcecloses.
Ive factory re-set my tab still the same, rooted and installed different rom... Same
Can anyone possibly help me??

Which market version are you running?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

Stock. 1.0.28 i've downloaded the 3.1.5 and uninstalled the stock but it doesn't show movies tab which I'm not bothered about. But would prefer stock as its cleaner...
Btw im in UK
Any suggestions?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

try pushing a fresh apk of the market because of the recent flashing of a new ROM, something could've gotten messed up.

Like i've said earlier. Problem occurred before rooting on stock tab. I've rooted just to check if new rom would fix it. Also market from android market has the same problem and its on lower version 1.0.16 I think...

What firmware are you?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

Any rom any firmware. Contacted google and they are looking in to it as apparently more people have this issue

I am in the UK using the recent KH3 firmware, and I also have the issue when trying to access books.

I think I'll need to go to one of the shops place a random google account on shop display and check out the market... It could be something related to UK tablets

Play Store/Market Dissapeared

Yesterday my market changed to the new Google Play Store. It was working fine, I used it a few times.
Then I backed up my rom (ARHD) and installed the IceCold ROM. I then restored the ARHD rom and now the Play Store will not work.
I can still see the shortcut to the Play Store on my homescreen but when I try to open it, it doesn't open. There is no play store in my app draw.
How can I fix this?
Thanks

Thanks but I got it sorted.
I went to /system/app/vending.apk on root explorer and choose install, it then installed a none working market, but after a reboot it updated to play shop and it now works fine
