Hi,
I hope to use Digital Clock Widget from Maize and Pure Calendar, but it seem I cannot find them in the Market.
I even surf to Maize website to try to download from my Galaxy but its File Not Found error...
Any idea what is happening? Thanks.
can you download it onto your pc and then put it on the SD-Card?
I did not manage to find the apk file, so cannot do that.
the apk file i found, i could not install it on my galaxy...
Astro file manager not in market place
Hello,
I can't find or download the "astro file manager" from android market place. Even if I go via the vendor's homepage or the QR codes.
Can anybody post it here or tell me a working link for the apk-file?
Thx,
Walter
try going to metago dot net (on your phone)
then click on the download tab
See if that works.
I tried it before but it didn't work.
After resetting the phone to factory defaults I find Astro in market place but all installed applications must be reinstalled.
Can any of the previous installed apps block market place for specific apps? Are there any known apps which act like that?
You can download it from here: http://www.androidfreeware.org/
Download it man

URGENT: my phone doesn't have android market what should I do?
Hello Everyone and first of all let me congrat svetius on opening this new sub-forum dedicated to Galaxy S hopefully it will grow bigger and surpass the HTC and other Sub-Forums
Second I hope that you welcome me guys and hopefully I will try to be a useful member in this forum and I hope that all the members here are helpful and friendly as well (well ofcourse it is it's the XDA forum afterall )
ahem ok lets get to the point the moment I saw the samsung galaxy S I knew it would be my next phone and the true successor to my old omnia HD (hopefully Samsung's support for the new phone will be better than i8910) and yesterday I had the chance to test it out... the Galaxy S was released last week in Dubai and to my surprise it had Arabic language support! well some of you might wonder whats the deal with arabic support well let me tell samsung is the FIRST company to add arabic language in an android OS/phone which is btw not officially supported by google (there is no arabic language in official android rom) therefore I salute samsung for thier costumer support
NOW my main problem is that there is NO market app in the phone which is a shock!! what's the use of an android phone with no access to market it's useless in my opinion... the irony is that my country is the only country in the region that doesn't have android market support which sucks since i've been waiting for this phone for 6 months
right now I have two options: import the phone and have arabic+market but lose the warranty in the process OR buy it here and enjoy all the benefits of the warranty and the official samsung support but have no access to android market what-so-ever
is there is any way I can add the android market app to my phone through the means of root or anyway around?
appreciate the help guys
The other alternative might be to install one of the ROMs from a different region.
Android Market is illegal in U.A.E. and K.S.A. I heard of a software called Market enabler but I'm not sure how it works or if you need to root your SGS first to use it.
Can you please post images of the Arabic menus and inform us about the firmware on your SGS?
thnx for the response guys and yes I think that the andriod market is illegal in the UAE but really what harm it will be if downloaded FREE apps from the market and enjoyed the phone like other android users?! well I still haven't got the phone but I hopefully in the next 2 days and by then I will update the thread with some pictures ^_^
@TravUK can I install other roms and still retain the arabic language? it's really important for me to have a phone that supports arabic language...
btw is it possible to root the phone and install the market app from phones that have the market application? market enabler is a good option but i'd rather have the orignal android market app
I was in the same situation, I bought my Galaxy S yesterday in Dubai and found it had no market app. There was however a cut down regional market app loaded. I don't speak Arabic, so I simply flashed the latest ROM on it, this in turn killed the Arabic functionality -which is not what you want.
According to press reports, the market is simply removed in the UAE versions. Apparently it will be present in the Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Qatar models. Maybe you need to wait for a ROM image to be posted from someone there?
You could try using an alternative for such region problems like SlideMe: http://slideme.org/
@ShaggyDragon congrats on the phone man how is it? is it laggy like the vodafone models or is it an unlocked unbranded phone like the 8GB version from expansies? also beside the lack of android market app what about the features and the pre-installed apps is it the same as the European version or did we got cut out of some features( I hope not T_T)? for example does it come with layar and the e-book or did we get a rip-off version (I would be pissed to pay $725+ for a phone that doesn't come with features that it was originally advertised with)...and last question for you if you flash the phone with an official/custom rom will you retain all the apps and features that are available to SGS in other regoin( example market app, layar, aldiko etc) ?
@d0p3d thnx for your suggesstion but slide me is really poor it contains less than 500 apps as I heard... but what about market enabler does it work with SGS? and if it is does it contain all the applications that are available on the original android market?
P.S. can anyone with an UAE SGS dump their rom for us who are interested in arabic or for back-up plans? I would dump my rom but unfortunately i'm totally new to android :-/
hello guys here is an update about the SGS situation in UAE: it's sold out!!
but after searching for the phone in many shops/malls I managed to find SGS which was the last unit in the shop (the owner told me that he brought 30 units and were sold out in a matter of hours!!)
so I was excited and without thinking I pulled out my wallet to buy the last unit in stock and to my surprise it was the 8GB version :-( I asked them for a 16GB version but the guy told me that samsung haven't released an official 16GB in UAE!!
now my question for anyone who bought SGS from UAE, did you purchase the 16GB or the 8GB version and for how much?
should i wait for the 16GB or should I go for the 8GB?!
Apps no longer showing in market
Hi,
I've flashed the JG1 firmware and installed modaco's R2. Everything is running very smoothly now and there is no lag issue. Phone is almost completely perfect except, the 'National Rail' app that I paid £4.99 for is now missing from the Android Market.
I imagine this might be because I used a Russian firmware or non-official firmware?
I've tried using market enabler and paid apps enabler but no luck. Is there any way I can set the device to the UK market so I can get the app I paid for and use regularly?
Thanks

How To: Android Market Enabler, Paid Apps, Every Country
Hi, I am very happy with the new phone. Now I just want to root it, so I can get ME running. I just wondered if it would make the phone unstable, and what guide I should follow. I rooted and installed quite a few custom roms on my Magic/Sapphire.
Again, I want my phone just as it is, no less apps, no more, all I want is root and Market Enabler to work.
It's not buggy? Freezes, FC's etc?
I purchased in Singapore a Samsung Tablet P1000
Froyo 2.2
current version: PDA: JK2
Phone: JJ2
CSC: JJ2
It has built-in swype, version 2.5.45.11222
I have titanium Backup pro and also I have rooted my tab
1.
Is there a way to:
- unistall malaysia, indonesia, vietnam, Korean languages?
2.
Is it possible to
- install italian language?
3.
Is it possible to upgrade to the latest version (with voice recognition and input), which is 2.30? How to do?
Thanks a lot!
Saulo
I have to say that I browse the market, for swype, but found nothing which could help.
I also googled extensively here, on xda-developers, and on the web...
Any hints or suggestions are highly appreciated!
Saulo
You need to go to swyps site to download it but they say do not if your device has is installed ootb
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Dear BrillDoctor
1. You mean www.swype.com, right? not www.swyps.com (this site is not existing)
2. I have checked: there is NO download area in www.swype.com...
Even if unistall (using Titanium Backup) my swype 2.5 version, I doubt I can download the proper version.
Any other hints?
Thanks a lot!
You will have to use the swype app that came with your tab.You will not be able do download it from the market, and even if you had a beta version ( like I do) you will not be able to install it because it will not support the screen resolution of the tab. I tried myself and had to reflash the FW in order to get Swype back ( I had deleted the OEM version with titanium backup.
You will need to flash your tab with a european Rom, my suggestion is to flash JJ4 and then JK5, but do your homework before flashing anything.
Thanks Pakalt
My concerns are:
1. The European swype will have many languages, including Italian, But then I would like to install CHINESE (which I do use daily)...so the problem will be:
- how to install new languages on EUROPEAN ROM?
2. can you please feedback whether the EUROPEAN ROM is 2.9 version? (with voice input)?
3. European ROM: can you post me a link to download with instructions?
my phone is rooted, so I guess I can do the upgrade>
4. Why you have unistalled with Titanium Backup? Why not use the "freeze application" function? So you could revert the stock built-in swype...right?
5. Will European ROMS be bootload LOCKED as it is rumored here in Asia?
Thanks for your useful insight!
Saulo
Same problem here on JME.. I came from JM5 and everything was fine, now I got this tiny swype keyboard wich is kinda useless.. Wish I have saved the swype.apk installation file.. If anyone is on PJX or JMK, could u please update ur swype.apk somewhere?? if not allowed, just pm me, thanks...
Ciao Segnale
I do have swype 2.5.11.222 and it comes with a very good swype.

Oh Cool bro. Simply u need to have Root Explorer or I think Astro should do the job too, then all u have to do is copy the file /system/app/Swype.apk into another folder of ur Gtab, then mount the Gtab to ur computer and upload it somewhere... PM me the link in order to avoid any complaints
Grazie ...
Ciao
Btw just realized u have got a different problem than mine.. Anyways, I don't care about not having Italian language installed, as long there's english US or UK..
However, the latest euro firmwares for the GTAB has got boot loader locked, but rotohammer has done a great job by cleaning the bootloader, I dunno what exactly he did though, probs he reverted the new bootloader with the old one.
Although I am not sure if Asian firmwares has got the same locked bootloader, you should ask this on the development section .
Ciao segnale.
I will do as you ask. I have astro.
Please be aware that my swype does NOT include Italian language!
So you need to add Italian by yourself (and if you know how to do I will be very grateful.

I have swype 2.10.52.13753 , and I can confirm that has the Italian AND the chinese language. NO Voice input.
You can refer to this thread for flashing your tab to JJ4>JK5 . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847273 JK5 is a good stable ROM , but if you want to get the latest ( with NO bootoader upgrade and trouble , refer to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894763
I do have the "tiny swype" when in landscape mode, but I frankly do not thing it's a problem, I believe that it's even better. The whole concept of swype is to swype across the keyboard, why would you want to swype a longer path when in landscape mode. Sure it's better to have a larger keyboard when you hit single buttons, but then you DO NOT need a swype keyboard for that.
P_
Ok I been able to mount the factoryfs.rfs image of the JMK5 fw and copird the swype.apk into my GTAB now running on JME, and once it was installed the swype keyboard started crashing until I shut it down, and once I turned it back on the old swype keyboard just installed was been replaced with the current new one of JME.
Help please
Hi Segnale
I sent you a PM, as per your instruction.
With swype 2.5
Please check.

Dear Pakal.
Yes tiny swype (small-size) in landscape mode I also believe is much better than large size! Easier to swype.
I wish to have a try to your ROM which includes swype built-in 2.10 with Italian + US + Chinese Languages.
Can you please confirm:
1. swype is builtin in your ROM. Right? Or did you download later?
2. which one is exactly your ROM? And where to download it?
BTW If bootloader is frozen is NOT a big issue to me, since once I got swype (built-in) I will be quite satisfied.
Thanks a lot!

I have downloaded swype version 2.10.xxx
My phone is rooted, I have tried to upgrade from 2.5 to 2.10

I have tried with

"frozen" swype 2.5 (with Titanium Backup Pro) and then try to launch swype 2.10 as a new application, NOT upgrade.
What am I missing?
Thanks and waiting

If I flash my singapore-bought galaxy tab with an european version, will then, in future, KIES be able to connect to it?
2.
If yes, will then subsequent updates and upgrades be available on KIES? Which ones? The Europen upgrades? Or the singaporean ones?
Thanks a lot!
Saulo
I do not have the answer to yr question because I do not use kies. But the point is that you will be waaay more up-to-date reading this forum than waiting for kies to suggest you a firmware upgrade !!! This what this community is all about. Be sure that an 'official' update will be out way later than a 'leaked' version on this forum.
I live in greece so i ordered from Amazon.de.. I received the A500 but with no English option .....
Acer refuse to give me an official patch / rom to use in english..
So i am writing to the community for some help to do it the unofficial way.

Dear Mr. Sherwood,
Thank you for contacting Acer. We are pleased that you have selected a ACER product and give you information about your request.
Since Google has lost a lawsuit in Germany and may call his e-mail accounts only googlemail it is not possible to change the language.
If you want this device to use Android with an English version, unfortunately, the only way is the purchase of a British unit.
See here

about how to reflash your device with stock US firmware. (Which is the one that the devices sold in Greece come with)
Thanks huxflux2003 .. very helpful but I am a noobie... I am concerned to start messing with Kernal etc.. have we got to a stage where we can flash one stock file yet?...
I am willing to donate
Cheers

I was very disappointed about that too.
But there's a simple solution: Just use an app like "More Locale 2" (market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale) an create a custom locale with language "en" and country "DE" (using GB or US made the market app crash occaionally, but you can try this anyway).
No rooting required.
(Almost) no side effects: The only thing that doesn't work is the "clear.fi" app. It tries to load a local file according to the locale, which it cannot find. But than again, I have no use for this app anyway and UPnPlay does the same.
Many thanks to out of box thinking.. after visiting market place the any locale app unlocked the language.. now purchased xda premium app to show some support

Hell Everybody,
I arrived on this forum because I have a question about my new mobile phone.
First of all let me say that I'm a total noob about Android and the mobile phones, in fact till this moment I only used Blackberry just I decided to go into Android because I feel that is good to have the control of the device you are using.
I bought my Motorola Defy Mini XT320 last week here in Beijing (I'm living and working in China and I'm from Italy). Well everything is good, just on this device is pre-installed the Shop4Apps market where I can't find any of the application I need... Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin (this one so much) and reading around seems that if you have a pre-installed market you can't avoid to use it (maybe I'm wrong).
What I want to ask is: how can I root my devide and also after this action which things I have to do in order to be able to take the applications from the android's market that I prefer?
Some information about the phone:
Android 2.3.6
Kernel 2.6.38.6 [email protected] #2
Build number 02.19.08
I really hope that someone can help me, just I really feel that the mobile is useless if I'm not able to install the application I want...
Thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Eros

Your phone is very new, and it can't be rooted right now.
I understand that it doesn't have Google Play (android market)?
You can't install the GMarket without root, I don't think.
Others, maybe you have a solution?
My suggestion is to sideload apps you want.
This is to download the APK files of an app, say DropBox, and transfer to phone.
Then install using file manager.
facebook and twitter unavailable in china
you'r still unable to use facebook and twitter with ordinary network in china because of the network block by the government, even though the apps are installed. but it can be solved with vpn or something like that.
hi everybody!
first of all, i'm sorry for my horrible (and brief) english...
there are news about defy mini root?
I've tried superoneclick, z4root and motofail, but they don't worked.
Thank you!
Hello,
perhaps you could try Aptoide, it's an alternative market with all types of apps.
Install included .apk as well as Aptoide Repos(Search Aptoide!), hope this helps.
Android is no fun with Shop4Apps.
These are the steps:
Install APtoide, followed by Repos.
Search for apps, they will ask if you want to add stores.
Select the stores you want to add, then update stores.
Open Aptoide then use as normal market.
Here is the PUBLICly available .apk.
Phone note 4 sm-n910s I need to add Arabic or Rom phone to sm-n910c I need a free site with all paid
Hello!
Just set your ROM language to Arabic in the phone settings:
Open settings -> Go to language -> Select Arabic
Mobile is Korean and has no Arabic language
Mobile is Korean and has no Arabic language
I'm pretty sure it has to have Arabic language pre-installed. I've never, and I mean never, heard an android device not to have other selectable languages pre-installed or that one specific is missing.
Did you look properly? Maybe you just missed it by not looking properly.
The Korean phones are properly considered their own rheumatism does not support Arabic
Hm, didn't know that.
After a little of research I found this app on the Google Play Store. Maybe this helps you out.
The only problem about this: it needs root access or the user to set the required permissions "manually" via adb.
I think it's worth giving a try if you're able to do it via root or adb.
If that doesn't help you out, I'm out of ideas. Sorry.
Thanks
