Depending where are you from, it could be that Maps do not appear in the Market. I know, this is stupid, it is a free application on the market, but still it's not available on the market for some countries (mine included). What you can do is to grab MarketEnabler (from the Market), fake a different provider (I use some German one) and then search the Market again...you'll get Maps. After your post I've noticed that Maps are gone too so I have to do the same thing
P.S. Other way around is to flash latest gapps (Google Application package, they're on CyanogenMOD site and there are links here too)
I'm from Hong Kong, maps is originally available in stock rom market. After I flashed Rc4 ytd, it has gone then

I know the issues with the Market, where Android has to add the device to its register for it to be allowed to download certain applications. Does this still happen for the Desire? It appears to because I've followed links from the web to the market (such as eBay) only to find the market is telling me it doesn't exist.
What can I do to fix this? Will I need to root? My guess is it couldn't be to dissimilar to spoofing a user-agent in a web-browser...
Any help is appreciated.
Hasn't the newest problem been fixed? There was a problem with apps that had been updated/added to the market.
Which apps aren't you able to see?

The eBay android application. I followed the link on their website and the market said there was no application. I searched the market to no avail either.
It's happened with half a dozen other applications as well.

I still can't find the Google Earth app - On latest Orange F/W
Is that an official eBay app or the Bonfire Media version? Can't see an official one, but can see BM one.

You'll have to have a FroYo or Nexus rom for Google Earth. Only available on Nexus, but there are a lot of .apk files of floating around the internet.

Hey
I need to install some apps not available in the German Android Market. Any way I can get around this problem ?
Download the Apks from somewhere else. You can get most of the free ones easily by googling them. Second option is to root your phone and get Market Enabler.
Download market enabler from the market and fake a us provider.

Hello,
I've rooted my Wildfire and as I'm not in US, I've uninstalled the original Maps app and replaced it with the hacked version of Maps 5.7 that has unlocked navigation (also so that I don't have 2 Maps apps on my phone). However, now all apps (including maps) cannot find the location using the network location mechanism, only if I turn on GPS, then the location can be found (I also need to be outside for the GPS to work, but that is normal). Using the location via the mobile network doesn't work at all. Is there a fix for this, or do I somehow need to reinstall the original maps? I use the stock HTC froyo ROM.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers...
I also use the hacked maps, but network based locations works well. Anyway i downgraded to a lower maps version because the fonts in newer versions are not very clear on my wildfire.

So I'm using one of the newest CM7 nightlies and I think since CM7 I have several apps, which Google won't let me install anymore.
The two I can remember right now are the official Facebook App and the Google Mail App.
I can install the apk and it works, so what's the reason for this? Does Google or the Developer of an App need to enable the download for specific ROMs? Is it a CM7 problem?
It just bugs me, that I don't get updates for those apps via market and need to find the apks on the Internet, before I can install them.
I'm on the newest nightly and those apps work fine for me. Three things:
1) Considering how you call it Google Mail, and not Gmail, it may be because the app(s) are region locked. Is Facebook banned or blocked there?
2) Or because you followed those links above from someone to the Market either on your phone or computer. Those links are broken. Check the first bit of each one, an error's quite obvious. ;-)
3) If it was in fact a region lock, download MarketEnabler from the Market if you have root and fake a carrier, allowing you to access the Market of that carrier's country.

there's a problem with the market when using non-standard lcd settings. so if on your legend your lcd is <>160 you're bound to get that 'incompatible' problem. try reverting back to 160 if that fixes it (as i'm sure it would)...
They shouldn't be region locked in Germany, no reason for this.
I do have set the LCD density to 135. Then this should be my problem, going to try it out later.
Thank you both
I also had the same Problem with the Gmail App.
Gmail App IS BLOCKED in German market, at least with O2 as Provider.
With Market enabler set to an American provider i could download and install it without any problem at all. Also the language of the app is german.
I don't know why google blocks this app -- it comes preinstalled with the original HTC Rom so should not be "forbidden" in Germany.
I didn't have a problem with the facebook app - maybe the problem here is the resolution setting.
Im from Germany too and used CyanogenMod in the past. With CyanogenMod You must use/flash Google Apps from their site.
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps
The facebook app I could easily download from the market, i m at O2-Germany too.
I used MarketEnabled before. That wasn't my problem in the first hand.
Like maxq1 suggested, it could depend on the LCD Density mod, which I now reverted and everything is fine again
This might assist a few of you with the SM-G9550 who're in China (mainland)
This is just a post for noobs (like me) who inevitably pick this phone up while in mainland China and mistakenly realise that it comes with no google framework or playstore and need help. No need to flash HK firmware through ODIN and worry about the consequences. I simply went to my vpn provider (not needed if outside of china), and downloaded my vpn's apk from their site. Installed it without hassle.
Then went to a site called APKmirror, downloaded their suggested diagnostic app (Droid hardware app), which is found on the third last section of their FAQ page (as of this post's date). Then I searched in APKmirror's site for framework, google services, and the play store itself. found suitable ones and downloaded to my laptop. Then from my computer, plonked them onto the phone (had to use Airdroid as my macbook didn't connect to phone), and installed the services framework, then play services and lastly the play store apks. At least I think that's what I did ... Might have not even needed to put the play services on now that I think about it.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
Google play services already preinstalled，we just need to have VPN to work.
surprisingly found inbuilt Radio which is missing in international version ?
I have only concern with GPS ! everything in Chinese ?

Yes I suppose so, as mine came with some sort of Google out of the box... But it was a neutered variety. Only let me download some Google apps from Samsung store. Couldn't get play store to work, or some other things working, and Google Chrome wouldn't allow log in. So... Not sure why yours allowed different access levels with just VPN.
I didn't look at GPS but noted Chinese in weather app.. I just changed my weather app to my preferred one and now have English weather. Samsung service app is Chinese, but... I don't really use it anyway.
Cheers.
The HK version also identifies as SM-G9550. I suppose there is something to work out between the two for you to get your Chinese version completely international
In my SM-G9550 Hongkong model, continuous Intra band Carrier Aggregation is not working for Band3 (1800MHz). I bought it from HK and using it in Cambodia
Google play service has already installed in phone,just download a Play store app and VPN
hoped this variant to be standard
