Why is the Market not complete on 2.2 - Nexus One General

I installed the new FRF72 which is supposed to be more complete correct
But I still have to run an adb command to make the market see my installed apps, and to be able to see protected apps in the market search
Is this going to be a default fix in the final froyo version, just doesnt seem professional I have to tamper with the phone to get apps showing
Just a curious thought!
Thanks

You're not using an official release

Not expecting it to function fully, but it is being downloaded off googles servers, and everything else works so was just curious why is it the market that suffers, im sure its more complicated.
Thanks

Because publishers set a max version number that can download their application.
Search and you will find more info about it.

May I ask which ADB command this would be?

its not suffering...its not out yet and is considered unstable with possible exploits. this is probably why protected apps are hidden from the market till final release.

Publishers can choose to copyright their application, which blocks any unofficial update.

Purchasing apps on the market outside of "authorized" areas

strazzere said:
Just a heads up that later on tomorrow an application will be released to help people outside of "authorized" areas purchase applications for the G1 on the market. More information can be found at http://strazzere.com/blog/?p=249 or the italian version at http://www.androidiani.com/applicazioni/applicazioni-a-pagamento-sul-market-da-ora-si-puo-2169.
Basically it ended up being easier than we originally thought, though Andrea threw together an application to make it easier for people to do.
The program should be released early tomorrow with the source and an explanation of how it works and what not.
Enjoy! Ciao!

I think is interesting for everyone here
Bye Andrea
bump!
i've installed the app and its working!!
but i don't have a billing address in US...
its now working!!
market apps available on ADP1.5 outside US
the app can be found here, look for the link "QUI"
http://www.androidiani.com/applicaz...he-in-italia-con-marketenabler-2177#more-2177
you might need to make a google checkout account from your computer if you are not in one of the market enabled countries... use the same gmail account
I wonder what Google thinks of this...
It works perfect, to bad google only works with creditcards :S ?
winbet this app enable only the purchasing process. We did not made nothing bad...

got the app- pity for some reason superuser doesnt want to play with it- funny cos SU plys ok with everything else....eg. advanced task manager etc.... am running 1.5 ADPHr1
is superuser not playing nice with it?
i use JF 1.5, i have to say allow a million times, but it works!
Amazing job!
Well I just want to thank the team that made this possible, it works just perfect on my JF 1.5 ADP, bought a few apps already!!!
Cheers
I'm pleased that you are happy of our work
Yes, thanks very much Andrea and Tim!
my SU is working ok with it now- for some reason it was hanging up- so i opened SU before opening this app..... i now have paid apps in Australia!!
Any requirements to install this program?
I cant seem to install it, keep getting " the install is unsuccessful" error.
Works GREAT!
It really works! Thank you so much. I felt disappointed when I learned google was not allowing ADP1 users to even see the non-free applications. Now I can see everything. I haven't tried to buy anything yet. I'm in Spain and we are not supposed to have paid applications, so I don't want to rise any suspicions.
Edit 1:
If you want to see the apps, you have to run the enabler and then (immediately after) go to the market. Or, to put it in a different way, it only allows this access for a (very) limited amount of time.
Edit 2:
I was finally able to see a free but protected app (NBA Game Time) from my ADP1, and it downloaded and installed successfully, but it doesn't run at all (force closes every time). If it's of any help, I'm running JF 1.5 on an ADP1.
I'm using JF 1.5ADP with no further mods (apps2sd etc.) and the SU request is freezing, tried a reboot but no joy, any ideas?
### Solved ###
This is a JF 1.5 issue, USB debugging must be enabled for the SU Whitelist to work (reboot not necessary).

I also have the JF 1.5ADP, but I do have the apps on the SD (I did it manually following instructions on JF's web). But it did asked me for root access like a million times (ok, a little exaggeration here, but it was like 6 or 7 times). And it takes a while (like a minute or so).
would it be easy to do the same hack for german market?

Switching between the different markets would be rather easy, you just need someone from that area to tell you what the numerical operator number and the operator name is.
I'll be posting soon how to do this process without the program install for people having trouble using market-enabler
Edit:
Try this information if you have trouble installing it: http://strazzere.com/blog/?p=260
Thanks, this is awesome! One thing I've noticed though, when viewing by popularity in uk it only shows free apps - paid aren't showing. They show normally in 'date added view though'.

Copy Protected Apps Make Their Return for 2.1 Leak?

So I was perusing the marketplace with my leaked-2.1 Eris today when I noticed something peculiar: Twidroid Pro had come back! This was an app that I actually lost access to for a while after one of the OTA's, so it surprised me greatly to see it back up for our build. Can anyone else on 2.1 confirm that copy protected apps have made their way back to the Market?

****, I know right, I've been waiting for LiveBible for a while now on my phone.
Are they actually copy-protected or are they marked for API level 4 (1.5)? Apps that aren't compatiable for this version of android will not show up in the market, but copy protected apps should.

Why should copy-protected apps appear? Google needs to be made aware of a particular firmware build to allow copy-protected apps to appear, correct?

Sky+ remote record

Does anyone have Sky by Mobile working on their Desire? I get a message that it's not compatible. Doesn't it work with Android?
Sky hasn't written a Sky by Mobile app for Android (yet).
Austin Reid has though. Check out Record It and Whats On on the Android Market.
Looks very good but cannot find Record It on the market even when I click Upgrade in Whats On.
According to the change log it is a protected app, which don't seem to be currently available to the Desire.
I'm using "Remote Recorder" at the moment as it's all that I could find available, but it leaves a lot to be desired.

I havent tried this but there is an option to allow unprotected apps. think its in the privacy part of settings
I know the setting you mean - to allow you to install apps from "other sources".
However, I think the issue at the minute is the market place. I believe, but could be wrong, that they don't currently allow Desire users to even see copy protected apps. I think that once they've updated the market place to know about this handset the app should show up.
Dae
I've installed it on mine and it works a treat!!
Only problem is that it doesn't have a programme guide, you have to search for the programme which isn't too much of an issue...!!

hmmm, everyone should be able to see and edit the list.... no matter if they are signed in or not...
I was able to edit spreadsheet without being logged in.
As for the program, it works good for me. I haven't accounted any bugs.
except suggestion: make it so it only has to check environment once, it takes a little bit to run the check everytime.

Yeah, I thought about that, but I also thought about, what if they copy it to another computer, or they uninstall something, the flag would still be there saying the environment is clear, even when it's not. I will definitely take this into consideration.

did have a question though, since it's creating a system/app folder, essentially this would override the one on your phone erasing pretty much everything, correct? I wanted to test the "push to phone"

Damn the time zones. I'm always asleep when you west coast fokers release new cool stuff
Just tested the program and everything looks good.
It's a good alternative to re-installing htc and sprint apps when the user has deleted them and didn't back them up.
Haven't tested the push to phone option yet and will have to make a most recent nand before I do.

Android Marked get new logo??

Is it just me or has the Android Market get new logo, so just right - plus it's got a new layout and function. ??
Here are some screenshot from my mobile.
Put special attention to "automatic updates"

dong2007
Means your country is in the 'paid apps' loop =D
Singaporeans are experiencing this too
looks like Froyo's market with comments in separate section

Well that explains it.. They haven't done anything here in India, maybe because we already had access to paid apps
Here in holland they have seperated the info and comments. Now you can read much more comments instead of the latest three...

In Japan, we got the price changes (everything now is displayed in Yen), but nothing else. Automatic updating would be nice.
How you all get the new logo? I enter the android market, it is still showing the old market logo on my phone.
I only get the below paid apps :

It's just a logo telling us we can use paid apps -_-. If it's 2.2 related, we would be able to see live wallpaper downloads too.
We are using 1.6. Not 2.2. Please don't go delusional now.
Chong - just try restarting your phone lor. Maybe the icon will be refreshed that way.

You can't see Live Wallpapers just because your handset is on Android 1.6! Android Market doesn't list apps which are not compatible to your handset based on Android Version. I said, you would get this market eventually if you fall within 32 upgraded countries by goggle for Paid Apps. But this is just a workaround to force that Update now!
Well I tried the tutorial, doesn't seem to work for me.
Infact now I can't install any updates to my apps. (Download failed - Unknown error)
Luckily I have a backup of my market.apk so I'm going to reinstall

It should be working, You might be updating an app which you didn't install from market but it has an update for you. Try searching a new app and isntall it! Didn't you get the New Market through this?
And you need not re-install the Market Apk, just restore the original market settings from the app itself and it would be enough!

That's what I'm trying to say. Cos you used the word "Froyo", so I thought you're trying to say this market change is 2.2-related, which is not.
The icon change is just an indication that there is a change in the application, that's all =/

It is 2.2 related in the way that this is how the market works on Android 2.2. I guess Google decided to change things on their own, instead of waiting for OEMs.
Also, I don't have the new market, and I probably won't get it any time soon.
