Anyone have an apk for the Wifi tether app? It doesn't seem to be on the market anymore.

You could also try Barnacle, it's still in the market...
I believe barnacle was removed too. Just the donate wiget was left on market.
That's strange...when I search for Barnacle from the phone, only the donate widget shows up, but searching for it on my computer (in the regular old Android Market) it is there.
Edit: OK, it's because I've got two other devices linked to my account. Ironically it is still available for my Nook Color, but it obviously wouldn't do any good there!
Different providers block those apps. Sprint recently had them removed.
Can you jsut use the one included in most roms? or if one isnt included can you use an apk that someone else has backed up and install it on your phone? if that will work I can send you one for a sense 3.5 rom.

Achieved root with z4root, now the nag screens stating that provisioning is required has disappeared from the stock navigation and hotspot apps. Are these apps jow jailbroken or do I need to find alternate apps?

I'm not quite following what you mean? Before you were rooted the vz navigator and vz hotspot apps aren't displaying message?
I recommend using google maps over the vz navigator if that is what you are using. Could you please provide some more details?

Before root both the vzw nav and the stock 3g hotspot app had nag screens stating provisioning required to use the apps. After root both apps now appear to fully work. Are these apps now unlocked, ie vzw is not going to see the use of these apps and charge me, or should I use other apps such as google nav and tether for root users?

AH! ok, now I think I've got what you're asking =)
You will still be charged to use these apps... Didn't know that the provisioning page disappeared with roote privileges though. I would recommend using google maps, as the newest version allows for offline use through caching, and I personally like it better, because its free.
As for the wireless tether, if you are just looking for simple internet access through tethering, I would use wireless tether for root from the market. If you are dying to use the VZW hotspot, there are 2 hacks to use it... The first involves starting the hotspot app, then toggling flight mode on and off, then going back into hotspot, and tyou should be good to teher. Method 2: Team black hat has a hack that allows you to use and update.zip to allow the hotspot to work without the fee. You will need to google around for it. This is more of a "not recommended, as it violates morals/ethics" kinda thing. Just an fyi.

Thank you, allready installed tether for root. Works great! I could care less about the nav app, but my wife feels she really needs it! (she couldn't find her way out of a paper bag). Again thanks!

Allows you to manage APP installed via the website and have them pushed to your Android devices. Not sure if anyone has looked at it yet.
Im on Bonsai ROM with Market version 2.2.11 and its not working for me. The website finds my Epic but apps don't get pushed to my phone when I click install. Is there a newer version I need?
I havent I'm not by a computer but I'm interested though....
Is it like the app store on itunes?
I'm tired of updating my phone and not having acess to certain apps
This would take all the pain away!

Worked for me, but I'm on stock.
Wasn't that one of the features of Gingerbread? It thought they mentioned that at the Froyo push last year.
They actually first showed this off last year at the Froyo event.
Getting SERVER NOT FOUND error?
I was able to use this today successfully. I remotely installed 3 apps, with absolutely no problems. It recognized all the programs already on my phone.
I'm on Nebula 1.0.7, so stock is not required
I'm on ViperROM 4.0.2c and am able to use it. The thing I like the most about it is that it has kept track of all the applications I've installed (which isn't the case when I flash my ROM). So I can reinstall the APPs throught he market. (yes the market keeps track of my purchased APPs, just not the rest of them via the phone.
It also makes installing the same APPs to multiple devices at the same time via the same Google account very easy.
I am on Quantom 2.7 and the website just doesn't see my phone at all. Wonderful.
are you guys just going to market.google.com??? I can't get to it from my computers.

Google the term "market"
Thank you.
And for anyone else reading this, the correct website is:
https://market.android.com/
I'm running Nebula and when I go to the web market, all of my apps that I've downloaded are there, but it won't recognize my epic. Anyone else found a fix for this?
Works on the current nightly of Cyanogenmod 6.
Shows the list of currently installed applications, and the instant I told it to add Angry Birds (not that I'm interested) my phone began the download.
Awesome.
Combined with the way all apps reinstall after a new flash, I should not need to use the crappy on-phone application again!

Well, I just flashed to a new ROM and am now once again having trouble with the sync.
My market.android.com list shows like 20+ applications, but Bonsai ROM downloaded 2 and acts like it is done. I'm going to have to go down the list and search for each of them now. Or maybe I'll try the same from market.android.com
EDIT it's working, but the list of installed apps on the phone's Market won't even update...
Time to say "goodbye" to appbrain. Finally.
Oh nice
Thanks for the tip. I was able to use my computer to browse the market and it was able to see my installed apps ok. I am running stock DI18.

Says no phone associated with my account even though I can see my market history. I'll chalk it up ito being a new service and not fully up and running yet.
Darn it. Im in South Africa, and just received my xoom wifi. and find out that we dont have access to paid apps, and because there is no carrier associated with the wifi xoom, i cant even spoof a US carrier with market enabler.
i figured that it must have something to do with the fact that my IP address indicates im in South Africa.
so i need help in Spoofing my IP address.
i have found an app which i havent tested that can make android connect through a proxy. i just need a proxy....
hope it works
hi,
I have the same problem. Can you tell me what is the app you mentioned?
What about Amazon app store?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
the app is called proxy settings
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.credil.proxysettings&feature=search_result
I managed to get the proxies working as per this list http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/search-278
I can now see paid apps but can't download apps even the free ones. I guess its the choice of proxy. I need a fairly robust one.
Hi, i live in Costa Rica and had the same problems with the market, this tip someone posted on amazon worked for the free apps , paid apps are still a problem.
"TURN OFF WEBSITE LOCATION
For those of us who are in another country or in a US Territory. Certain apps (in fact the majority of them) in the Android market will not allow you to download. You get a message such as "Cannot be donwloaded due to carrier" or something to that affect. What you have to do is go into the browser and in the right corner click the internet icon (looks like a piece of paper). Select internet settings and look for location settings. TURN LOCATION OFF. That is all you have to do. Then go back into the App store and begin your download. You can also do this for google books so it will work."
Hope it helps....
wish it had worked for me. I removed all location services in the browser and the system and it still magically found me to be in south africa.
Guess its back to finding a robust proxy
I was able to buy and then install the tablet keyboard on my xoom..
First I bought it on my nexus s using market enabler as paid apps are not available where I live. Then on the xoom and using a VPN connection in US I was able too see my purchased apps and downloading any of them.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
which VPN service are you using. it seems its the only way i guess.
Part Solution
OK, so I managed to use Market access a market enabler clone...
http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
i still cant see the tablet optimised apps, but i can at least see all the apps ive purchased before. so its a step in the right direction.
it goes without saying that i had to root my device...

I've been using Banana VPN for a while on my PC and they are excellent. You can look at other options too as you can find cheaper alternatives.
Could the GPS not be betraying us?
It's bloody accurate. It shows me in the yard and even which direction I am facing.

So market enabler worked. U can download paid apps but they will not be listed in the market and you will have to search for them.
At least it works
But did u root it to use market enabler?
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk
yes you have to root it. though rooting with tiamat sd card hack gave me major market install issues..... so i had to root and remove the tiamat kernel
And how did u do that?
U can replace the kernel after rooting with no problem at all?
The Tiamat kernel is not needed to root =O?
What I did to get paid apps onto my unrooted Wifi Xoom, was to use MarketEnabler to download them to my rooted phone, then use Titanium Backup to extract the apk, and then transferred the apk to my Xoom, and then some guy named Bob called me claiming to be my uncle.

I find that once I purchase an App with my MarketEnabled phone, I can find and download it on my Xoom directly

Then again I'm using a Verizon 3G Xoom but outside of the US, that may be why
Hi all,
got root on the 10.1V! after i got a new rom the machine was recognized my the market and no market enabler or VPN helped get access to usa based apps.
is there a solution my friends? please. nobobdy knows the answer?
If that is a 3g tab, pop out the sim card, connect with wifi using vpn to a US based server
tried that. doesn't work.
is it possible my market has registered the device as a NON US based one? what can i do? seriously? am i asking something too complicated?
Does anyone around has a dummy tmobile or att sim card? Anyone who bought an iphone from grey market? If so, try that. It used to work with my GTab 7. Another thing, go to applications and delete market cache and stop it. Honeycomb behaves differently compared to froyo.

I use Files to install any .apk into my tablet. That's how I got Netflix running, for example.
I think it's related to your google profile
I side loaded GTalk and it works great, but like installing the Market there is no icon that shows up. I used MarketOpener to get a Market icon, but the only way I can get to Gtalk to by going into Titanium Backup and launching from there.
Anyone know if a way to get that icon to show up?

This is your first post?
o Are you rooted? Assumed but you really didn't say.
o What ROM are you using?
o If Stock are you using the Amazon Launcher?
Been visiting the forum since I got my Droid over a year ago, but yes that is my first post.
I am rooted with the stock amazon ROM and Amazon Launcher.
I've followed several guides in the Fire forum to root and install the gapps. Everything worked great. Like many others, the Google Market icon did not show up in the launcher but I used the MarketOpener app to put one on there. GTalk was not included in my gapps zip, and was not available in the Market (not sure why) so I side loaded from my Droid with CM7. I'm having the exact issue with GTalk that a lot of people have with installing the Market; there's is no icon for it.
I was just wondering if anyone had a work around to get the icon to show up?
Gtalk is not a market app, which is why you don't find it there.
You can load it, but the Kindle Launcher is somewhat limited in what it shows. That is why the Market Opener was created. There is no equivalent version of that for Gtalk.
If you use another launcher, you will have no problem seeing it as a normal app.
krelvinaz thanks.
Question:
I notice in your sig that you're using a custom ROM on your Fire, MoDaCo.
How do you like this and how is it vs something like CM7? I already have CW Recovery installed so I'm tempted to backup my current and try out MoDaCo. If I don't like it I guess I can revert back.
Any install 'gotchas' when installing MoDaCo or is it just moving the ROM to the SD and running it via recovery?
Thanks again.
GR6 is a pretty stock ROM that has some nice tweaks in it, like location services working, Amazon market (now Google play) sees it as a transformer instead of kindle, meaning more apps show up.
Installation is very easy, you don't even need to wipe.
I use the ADW launcher 99.9% of the time. I can do most Android apps and still use Amazon Prime video as well.
Been solid as a rock since I loaded it.
ICS doesn't impress me.
