[Q] Android market doesn't like my handset - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I have the AmeriCanAndroid ROM installed on my HTC HD2. It works great, and I can download and install most apps in the Android market. But, there are a few apps, like the Nook book reader, that the market won't let me install because the market doesn't recognize the HD2 as a valid Android device. Has anyone found a work-around for this problem?

[Q] Nooby - Android Market

Hi,
How can I download apps from Android Market to my PC (Windows)?
10x
If you want to download android apps you have to be running Android on your windows phone. - You should actually read before asking questions like this. I see per your post you are already running a custom rom on your phone so as you have already hspl, all you have to do is download a build of android from this forum to you desktop, plug in your phone and hit storage not sync and extract the build to the root of your storage card -
you also need to have a google email account to use the market.

Or, you can google "android. apk download" and some will come up, but you wont be able to do anything with them, keep them updated, and some might not even work.

10x for all replies, but I see that I made some confusion.
I have couple of Apps from Market that fail to install on my "mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense RC1.4" build. I found in the thread that if I download them on PC and transfer to HD2 they may successfully be installed.
I did not find the APK on the net (google...and more), the only place is on the Market.
So here again I the QUESTION : How can I download application from the Market to my home desktop PC. Is there any Windows XP/7 clients available to do so?
You will have search google because there is no way to downlaod apps to the pc from the market.

RAFDROID HD, cant install apps!

Basically i installed the the RAFDROID HD 4.0.2 onto my HD2, everything is working perfectly fine except for the marketplace. I open it up and click on any app, click okay for the permissions and click on the install button, the apps download, but gets stuck on the installing.... part and wont go away. Ive restarted the phone, ive searched around to see if anyone has had the same problem, but have come up short.
I get the same thing
i've got the same problem.
i can't install apps either. and i love the rom but without my apps i'll have to go back. any help would be appreciated
what version of the hd2 are you using?
i am assuming you have an ext partition on your sd card if you have a eu device
i have the same. i can´t install any app of the market and when i try to download an app with the web browser.
it´s only downloading and then it says "installing" but nothing happens.
is there any update to fix is?

[Q] Native USB Tehering Not Working!

Hi All!
I've now spent several days trying to run the native usb teher without 3rd app, on different roms with no luck. Among all roms I tried, only one worked based on sense (I d'ont remember exactly which one it was sorry ).
Procedure
For all non working roms, I first plug the USB to my HD2, then activate the USB Tethering from Android (Setting=>Wireless & networks=>Tethering & portable hotspot then tick "USB tethering"). The phone displays "therered".
Observed Result
I tried both on windows 7 64 and windows xp 32 with the same behavior: windows do not detect new hardware and the device manager does not show question marks for unrecognized devices.
Unfortunately it doesn't work for my favorite roms, whereas the "What Work" section of those roms says it should.
Here are my favorite roms :
NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.7
HyperDroidGBX-v12
BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA DESIRE HD V14*GINGER 2.3.4_Sense&HoneyComB V22*MIUI V3
I would really be pleased if someone could help me, give a feeback or share its own experience with those roms.
Note: for each rom, I tried different rom installation methods (MAGLDR or cLK). I also tried to use 3rd app from the market (none worked), and the following app : android-wired-tether
for which it only works one time on a fresh andoid installation
If you have cLK installed still you can use ROM Manager to download and install a new SuperUser app by opening ROM Manager>Download ROM>Extras. Or you can do a search for SuperUser in the Android Market and install the most recent version if you use MAGLDR or do not want to use ROM Manager with cLK. You can get ROM Manager from the Android Market also but nit only works with cLK.
I recently had a similar issue with my HotSpot in the HyperDroid ROM I use and updating my SuperUser fixed it.
Not everything works like the way we wanted it works. We just have to find a way as long as it work. Here you go.

First thx for your reply, I update the super user app from the market to the lastest version, but the native USB tethering still don't work (exactly the same behavior as my first description).
Do you personally manage to get it working? If yes, which rom are you using?

[Q] HTC Wildfire 2.2.1 No Market

I have an HTC Wildfire with Froyo 2.2.1 factory. It did not come with Android Market.
I tried to install the following files that I found linked on XDA but they are force closing:
vending2.2.11-signed
Vending_original_froyo_1.82
com.android.vending_2.2.6
I just found a 2.2.7 and I will try that but does anyone know what I can do?
no root no market
As far as I know, you can not install market without root access. And factory 2.2.1 can not be rooted as of this moment. But soon hopefully we will have root thanks to alpharev devs.
Good luck.
You can install apks without root by using HTC Sync. I put Skype, eBuddy, etc on but I cannot seem to find the right vending.apk that won't keep crashing.

Its really painful to have an android phone without market app. The stock froyo wildfire doesn't even have a file manager. Just after the hard reset, everytime i had to download the "X-plore" file manager from market to access the sd card contents (and even to start installing apk files.)
Ok. U must have added a gmail account to ur wildfire. If not do it. I think in this way if ur phone can be registered on google, then u might have option to remote install apps from PC android market (or) even the android market from your stock browser of wildfire which has htc flash lite [using the same gmail account that is attached to phone]. From browser, just after clicking on the install option, then u will see device compatibility. Here if u can see "wildfire" then it is possible. Just after confirming the installation, ur wildfire starts downloading the requested application (provided wildfire should be connected to internet). If download doesn't start, i think this remote installation requires market application on phone.

APP BRAIN APP MARKET ACCESS:
Ok..... Irrespective of the above android market, u can access the app brain app market and install apps from it. This one also can be accessed from a browser for remote app installation. As the present "app brain" and "fast web installer" apps are available for free in market, im attaching those things for u.
--- First install the below attached AppBrain_App_Market_v6.02.apk file. Then install the below attached Fast_Web_Installer_v2.11.apk" file. Then open the app brain and sign in with appropriate account. Then sync the apps on your phone. Then go to its settings and enable fast web installer. That's all. Now u will have the direct install option from the "app brain" app or from the browser of app brain website.
And one more thing for u. I have extracted "vending.apk" from the system folders of my same stock 2.2.1 wildfire. When opened it replaces the market app on my wildfire.
So it might install the google market app on ur wildfire. Also attaching that file.
Yes you can install apks without root. But you can't install market (vending apk) without root. It is a system file. atleast I could not
I thought for appbrain to work properly you still need market installed on your device. I don't think simply installing vending apk would work. You will get force closes. But you can still try. If you can't get it to work, you can use slideme . You can get it from www.slideme.org. It does not have as many apps as market does but it is a start.
Good luck,

Thanks for the help all.
I will try the extracted Vending apk. If that fails I will go the appBrain route. I did install appBrain but uninstalled it without trying anything. I was committed to getting Market.
It does really suck that they would not give you a way to get Market if your phone did not come with it.

Maybe u r right. Maybe the enabling of fast web installer needs Android market licence agreement. But I think its hard to say these things.
To check this, phone needs to be formatted to remove the google/market account. It will try to check it when I get time.
Hope the vending.apk works

As a last resort you can flash an official WWE rom which has market in it. I believe this can be done with a goldcard.

Ok, i checked some things. I may be wrong, and pls correct me if so.
-- Installation from pc android market is the same as fast web installer. So, it will be like either both work or both doesn't work.
-- I freshly formatted the phone and added the gmail account. But didn't open the market app. That means i didn't accepted the android market terms of service. I think this case is similar to the absence of market application in phone. Now i opened the pc android market and sign in with the same gmail account. I tried to install an app, but the device is not listed in compatibility list. Same with the app brain here. App brain gets installed but fast web installer cannot be enabled.
-- Then i opened the android market and accepted the terms of service. Now i can install apps from pc android market. Also here the fast web installer of app brain can be enabled. Everything works fine.
-- Then what i did is , go to the settings/ applications/manage applications/ , then opened market and uninstalled updates. Also cleared the data. This makes the android market become stock one again. Now when opened, it again asks for terms of service. Now without accepting the terms of service, i tried to install apps from pc android market. And it worked. Also the app brain fast web installation works here.
-- If i again format the device, same thing will be repeated again. I need to accept the terms of service for only the first time to make the fast web install work.
-- And if we change the sim card, we need to re-enter the password of the gmail account again. And till that, fast web installation will not work.
I don't know how to explain these, but maybe google will be having details regarding our phone format.

What i said in post #4 might not work.
And u said u installed apps with HTC sync. Is that ur carrier disabled the installation from unknown sources. If it is the case, OMG u really need a WWE RUU. If its not the case, maybe vending.apk or the WWE RUU solves ur problem.
If ur hboot is 1.01.0002 , then u can go with this process to flash a WWE RUU

I will check hboot. I did try reflashing it with some RUUs and it told me version mismatch, but that RUU had a lower version number.
This is an unlocked phone bought from online. I can install from unknown sources, I just can't seem to install the Vending.apk because they force close.
It would force close when I launch.
Then I try again and it would let me in.
Then it would force close when I search
Then it would let me back in and let me search
Then it would force close when I try to install an app. That is as far as it will go as it will force close everytime I try to install an app.
I will try all this stuff when I get the chance. Right now I am using my Moto Defy which I wish would get Froyo
You get version number error because the firmware on your phone is newer. But If you create a gold card and install the ruu it should work. Just search for gold card tool from klush( I hope I did not misspell it). It is very easy to do.
Then you should be able to flash any official ruu.

Sorry, appbrain just won't work if you don't have the market installed, as AppBrain still lets the market handle all app downloads.
may be u can use 1mobile market beside android market.because it almost cover all application in android market.the good news is yo don't need to register anything to download and install in your wildfire

[Q] how to get OLD market on cm7 running from sd

I'm running cm7 from micro sd on my nook color and love it, but i hate the market app. On my rooted htc inspire i was able to download the old market apk for version 2.3.4 and much prefer that one. It's the one with the big green box at the top. Is it possible to modify my rom when it's running from the sd? If so, how would i modify it to run the old market app? I've read some threads about going back to the old market, but it wasn't THIS old market and it wasn't with cm7 on sd. Thanks!
When I was running CM7, I used AppQuarrantine to freeze "Market Updater" and uninstalled the Market update. That left me with the old market version. That was on sd. hth
Sent from my CM9 NookColor using Tapatalk
Yep, Macahs right. That works. You can also do the same thing with Titanium BU. And, FWIW, I found a perfectly usable Market 2.x apk online through a Google search, if your uninstall of the new Market doesn't reinstate the earlier one.
