Cannot find this app in Android Marketplace?

I'm currently trying Plenems donut build and Myns build, but in both I cannot find this app:
World Forecast Clock Widget
http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/org.satok.gweather/
Plenems build is supposed to be the full market (and I can see paid apps), but this app is free. Every time I search, it comes back with no results.
Is it because it requires a higher resolution or something?
Thanks.

If things haven't changed since I read about it then the resolution when you first boot and setup your google account will determine what apps you get to see in the Market. So your assumption that the resolution plays a roll in the problem you've described is most probably true.
Usually the rule of thumb is to boot the first time with the highest resolution to have high res apps shown in the Market. Then install the apps that you need and finally restart Android with your preferred resolution.
You might want to look around in the forums for detailed instructions on tricks to keep the high res apps from disappearing after being back to the lower resolutions. Usually after a week or so they disappear.
Have fun Droiding!
P.S. you've switched the m and n in Plemen's username.

So do the high-res apps work with the lower resolution after I switch back? Better yet, is there any way to get the .apk so I don't have to do this trick?

Sorry, the mistake was unintentional.

I just downloaded and install the Market Enabler, changed to US t-mobile but I still couldn't find it. Oh well.

sorry if my FAQ was not organized enough or clear enough for you to find the answer, it's a work in progress. market enabler only allows you to see paid apps. plemen's ealier build emulated this by using the same t-mobile settings to identify the device. this has nothing to do with the resolution problem and not seeing some free apps. you need to back up your data file and boot a new one with 320x480 as your resolution. see here.

Apps open by themselves

Hey all,
I've had my (Sprint) Hero for a couple weeks now and enjoying being able to mess around with different roms and tweaks but I've noticed something annoying. I've been using task killers more heavily in the past week or two now and it appears that apps will sometimes open up by themselves.
I had originally not noticed it because I've been playing with the phone so much I generally had the apps open a lot from messing around and showing people different things. Lately I've got into the habit of killing tasks. I'll go to pick up my phone and notice my RAM usage is rather high and I find apps running that I haven't opened.
Most commonly I see:
Google Shopper
Sprint Navigation (Decided to just delete it)
Market
Clock (the alarm app appears when I switch to it)
Weather
com.google.vrec (can't remember name... also deleted)
So ... I was wondering if anyone could tell me why these would be opening by themselves.
Thanks

Hey Poorboy,
That's just INSANELY helpful! I'm SO glad you're around ... if it weren't for you, he would never have figured that out.
bhhandley,
I've noticed it as well, seems to be frequently used apps or apps with registered services. I just kill them.
I guess that's not the best solution
Kr,

...
Poorboy you do make me laff!
regarding the apps, i might be wrong but are the apps opening on your home screen?? I noticed that if i closed all apps with a task manager app then when i scrolled through the home screen the apps i have on there seem to take up mem again, (like a weather app attached to the clock) aswell as other apps that are designed to be running all the time like wallswitcher, things like foot prints seems to be running if i have used the camra...
maybe im wrong.. but this is what i noticed.

get autostarts from market, it will show you on what event which app will be started. also gives the power to disable automatic app starts.

+1 Very cool app. Thank you for recommending it.
Found a bunch of the apps wanting to start after a connectivity change. I believe that wifi and mobile network connections turn themselves off after being inactive for awhile and start up again after the phone is brought out of sleep or at least do it periodically which explains what's going on.

Apps are always opening by themselves, often I don't even look at the task manager I'll just use one of the "kill all apps" widgets and it'll tell me that it killed 3 or 4 apps, none of which were apps I opened myself.

CDMA and GSM
Wrong Forum. This is for GSM not CDMA Hero.

this is the general hero forum. there is a cdma subforum for cdma related stuff, however general talk about apps or problems with general apps matches the "hero general" section very well from my point of view.

[Q] About rooting and other stuff

I think I might've posted this in the wrong thread, so I just copied and pasted it on to here
*#Rooting
Sheesh , I was scared to ask these questions. *but I just wanted to know a few things about this rooting stuff. As far as ADB and SDK I think it is. I know theres a guide for dummies, but I just want a quick summary and then theres is this clockmod recovery and then that cynogen thing. Just wanted to know if I should put that on my phone. I mean I really just rooted my phone for the themes and tweaks and all of that. I've been going through threads where people post there screenshots of their themes and that pretty much inspired me to root my phone. *- Its my first post , take it easy on me. Haha, but I would really like to get involved with this forum community. I am a graphic designer and pretty good at it but not at the moment cause I don't have my photoshop. I used to do blackberry themes as well. I don't know if that means anything...*

This looks more like a story than a question... but its straight...
Your asking for a quick summary of adb/sdk... sdk is the component that lets you run adb commands so sort anwser without it your computer wouldn't know what adb was... adb is the terminal command so you can make changes to your phone from your computer (add/delete/reboot/install/blah)
clockwork is a version of a recovery image... its well known because he made an app to go along with it...
Cryogen is a rom developer with a ridiculous following... he blew up back in the day when google sent him a cease in desist for using google apps in his roms (now they are dl'd separate)
I think that answers your 4 questions well in quick summery at least :/

Yeah, I know it was kind of long. Haha, sorry but should I put clockwork on my phone? Maybe if I needed to go back to factory settings or something and what program should I get to change my theme? I got launcher pro but I want to change the battery meter and all of that.

Where do I get "launcher pro"... I searched in market but all I find is themes that "require launcher pro" or a launcher of some sort..

Maybe this would work, you could goto apps and then scroll down on the categories. Click productivity and then click top free, scroll down a bit and it should be the 6th top free app. Thats a harder way though. Haha
Edit: You can also search up the developers name " Federico Carnales " without quotes.

[SOLVED] Looking for Android launcher app that can sort apps/games

Hi guys, I know some launchers have the ability to sort apps/games into groups like ADW Launcher EX.
I was just wondering if there is a launcher/app that will pop up upon installation of a new app/game and ask what group you want to place it in?
I really like ADW but its just a ball-ache trying to keep track of things I install and make sure I haven't forgot to sort something, it would be cool if something asked after installation.
Has anybody come across a launcher/app that can do this?
[EDIT] This so probably best to go into questions/general thread. Can a mod move please.

Try "Smart Shortcuts" om Marked.

I think folder organiser pops up in notifications when a new app is installed.

Thanks guys but found exactly what I was looking for.. "Auto App Organizer"
Its awesome, been looking for a app like this since first getting Android. It will automatically scan all your installed apps and categorize them and will also watch for new installed. You can then create shortcuts to the categories on home and they will act like folders.
The app is free but I paid for the full version (no banner). tbh the banner wasnt really annoying or anything, I simply wanted to show appreciation.
I would REALLY recommend this app to anybody.

Thanks man. I have played with folder organising apps and the such before, but I just never bothered putting new apps into relevant places and so it just became a bit pointless.
This sounds much more suited to me! I shall have play.
Cheers
Edit: Lol - looks like the dev and me have a source in common

[Q] Running specific activity from app?

Hey guys how are you all?? ... hope you are fine..
hey i need to know if is there any app which can launch others app's activities... i had recently installed CM9 on my defy+ and i found the lock screen options has a very amaizng cool option which can lunch any app from any of its activities.... so i can start for example facebook directly from my profile view activity... is there anyway to run such activities directly from a console.. comand line or any app which does the same out of CM9???
thnks it would be very cool :victory:

Questions go in the Q&A section

What do you mean by "console"? A Terminal?
Anyway, I have Apex launcher on my device and there it's possible to place shortcuts to specific activities on homescreen.
E.g. I have a shortcut pointing directly to the tethering settings activity.

Hm I don't think that this is possible (but you simply gonna try that)... for me it's more like a 'shortcut' to save you time that you normally spend tapping on your screen.
