Market problems with new root?

Hi, I know I've read of other people having the same problem I'm having where there are apparently missing from the market. Has anyone found a solution?

Which root method did you use? I had the market issues with the first couple of root versions, but my phone and the market are working perfectly now with the latest 3 step version. Im also using market enabler with no issues either. Would consider re-rooting with the newest method. Really doesnt take very long once you get used to it.

I've used the latest R2B020 3 step method (with steps 4 and 5 for my Rogers X10a). Still can't find Pure Calendar Widget, or Tapatalk Pro. I should try enabler...

He's got a point.. There used to be an app before on the market called countouch launcher but somehow disappeared from mine!!
Everything else is perfect though.. removed alot of the built in apps and it runs smooth as ever for me
All thanx to the geniuses who rooted this phone!!

There is a problem because of the region the firmware's from.
I got market enabler, but there's some apps I want that I still don't see in the market
If anyone knows how to configure market enabler to allow stuff from rogers (canada) that'd be great

Yeah, got the same issues with my X10a. Market enabler app is quite simple really. all it does is use the MCC MNC codes (see wikipedia) for you mobile operator and sets them in some config files (see the wiki on market enabler project hosting website).
There is something much deeper going on here. I had purchased UltimateJuice before rooting with the crappy Japanese Firmware and market was able to find it after the root as well. But, this time around with the R2BA020 firmware... not quite so.
I wrote to the developer of UltimateJuice and he mentioned that Android Market terms forbid some access to rooted/custom firmwares. Personally I don't see how how Google manages to enforce that.
There is certainly some way in which we can tweak around the settings somewhere to make Android Market realize that we are legit. I mean look at brut.all's google navigation hack...
EDIT: I did try almost all the market enabler settings but didn't manage to to see my app. The developer told me that he had create a version specifically for that situation (its called UltimateJuice (Alternate))... lacking more details, I dont know what that means...

Interesting... I don't think root has anything to do with it though because I have been missing these Alps since I flashed r2ba020 originally (the telenor one).
I too can confirm that market enabler does not work. What I'm wondering is if Google is limiting the apps in some way because the firmware us new.

I think it's some kind of market bug. I had the same when I debranded from 1.0.14 o2 to 1.0.16 generic.
After some weeks everything worked fine again. So I think google has to unlock new firmware for their market ?!?

Make sure you system kill (with taskpanel etc) the market after you make changes with market enabler. Maybe obvious, but some may forget.a

i'm having almost the same problem, i tried download the market enabler and and tried to view in market for paid software but cant see any also, i used appbrain i can see a few only but not much at all

I'm also having some problems with the market, before root I had an app called myplayer which was a bbc iplayer app.
Can anyone else who is in the UK check the market to see if you can find this app?

I believe this is dependent on the firmware region that you use to root the device. The myPlayer app is restricted to the UK only, so if the firmware is not officially recognised as a UK build you will not be able to see the app on the Android Market.

I am on UK branded O2 firmware R1FA016 and I can see the myplayer app in the market.
I am not rooted.

Thanks a lot for checking mate.
I have now installed Market Enabler, according to it I was already identifying as Orange UK (234-33). I have tried all other UK network codes and still cannot see the myplayer app.
Does anyone have a link to the .apk file so I can bypass the market altogther?

Issues
I am another proud owner of a rooted x10a (now x10i)
But I got problems, I cannot sent MMS with the rooted phone, it just looks like im missing an app because, but i don't know where to find it, and I have the right APNs. So if someone can help us out with this issue I'll will be very grateful.
Also timescape is missging the facebook and tweeter plug-ins :-S
You guys are my best shot

Now, this is interesting to me. I tried to do the rooting option, but I got stuck on step 2, which couldn't find my device. So I used SEUS to update, and it let me update to R2BA020. I assumed that, coming through SEUS, this would be an official, unrooted update, as if I was going back to the default (although it came on O2 in the UK with the R_whateveritwas_016 firmware). I didn't like the idea that a rooted phone caused a few issues anyway, but the R2BA020 update has made a HUGE difference to my battery life.
Then I noticed that the O2 branding had gone - not much, just O2 updates in Timescape that I didn't want anyway...
But I noticed that my lovely Death Star Clock was no longer in the market, and MyPlayer also has gone...
Dang... so it seems like my phone no longer thinks I am in the UK or something.
I've got Beebplayer though, which I preferred to MyPlayer anyway.
But, it's a bugger... I LOVED my Death Star clock!

Samsung Market update

I only noticed this evening and have not seen it mentioned here (I may have missed it) but Samsung Market has just updated to 2.0.5. There are a few nice new apps there as well inc. a dragon riding game.

Updated mine to 2.5.034 about a week ago.

Why does it have a different build number in settings/applications to the one in the about screen of the app itself? Mine is as yours. 2.5.034

Did anyone lose his or her credit card information for google checkout after the new version change?
Regards.

Can someone help me how to update android market?

To update market, clear data for it and relaunch market, easy and works!

My Samsung Market just updated itself to 2.5.039 which sounds even newer!
I don't see the game you mentioned though.
I also had a question... A few months back, I'm sure there was a photo editor app on the Samsung Market, but I don't see it anymore. I'm sure I tried installing it, and it failed, and now it is gone. I did successfully get the video editor at the same time, and still have it installed and working, but that is also missing from the Samsung Market list now. Am I right, was there ever a photo editor in there? Does anyone else still see it? Had anyone got it installed on their device? Is it any good?
The other Samsung Market oddity I have is that, the Samsung Market icon tells me there is 1 new update (as does the text in the list inside the app), yet there is no updates listed when you get in there. There used to be two listed in both those places, but only 1 update there, which I installed... leaving me with a mysterious invisible update supposedly available. I wonder if all of these problems (including the game you have that I don't don't see) are regional ones caused by my move from uk to nz and therefore changing sim card. I used to be on uk voda, and now on payg 2deg in nz.
I might try my uk sim card to see if it offers me anything different.
Any thoughts?
Mike

If you have CWM try clearing dalvik cache from advanced and regular cache.
Your device thinks you have that photoeditor, which offers update, which you can't see in the samsung apps as it failed at installing, this is just my thought which came first in my mind.
Also sim card shouldn't be affected to what your samsung apps offers, only the CSC should.

Still don't work for me :-( Tried to clear cache just say accept terms and conditions and I click accept and still on version 2.3.6

Any implications from clearing dalvik? Any chance of data loss or problems afterwards? Never done it before, so want to check before jumping in.
Thanks

Actually any problems afterwards is smaller chance to come if you clear dalvik cache twice in a month and when flashing a theme or any other cwm package. Only thing is longer first boot, since it will rebuild dalvik cache from scratch with your new settings and apps. And there is no chance to lose data.

Phone not campatible for several Apps anymore

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.
Sent from my Legend using XDA App

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

Facebook on Android appearing as Chinese text?

Anyone notice in the Android Marketplace that facebook appears in chinese writing... :S why is this? did it get hacked or something? Can someone please check just 2 see if its not just my device?

The title for all facebook applications in market search results seems to be in korean for me, however the actual apps when selected are in the proper language for my device's region (japanese).
What CSC are you using?
Update - Market seems to have lost its marbles right at this moment. Same behaviour on my co-worker's Desire on a different carrier.

im using a stock CSC
iv also got another question tho... when yu download apk's from the internet not from the android market... how do u update the game if future updates become available?

Android market help since flashing to US firmware

About a month ago I flashed my Canadian Xoom to US firmware so that I would be able to receive OTA updates in a more timely fashion. Since that time, I have been unable to purchase apps for my device from the android market. I had no problem doing so when my device was running Canadian firmware. Anyone know how to remedy this?

There are many apps on the market to let you change the default region for the market.
I use Any Locale on mine to get the UK market... Give one if those apps a try...

Any locale is not really a solution to the above problem as it is only a language alteration app. Thanks for trying but this wont help

I flashed mine to GED US as well.. It was original a German Xoom, but I use it in Denmark
I purchased apps yesterday from the Google Play sale. Works fine!
Only problem with the Marked are the comments which are all american.
Maybe do a hard reset or clear the marked app cache..
