Now that the Android Market website has finally launched (and stabilized) we're beginning to see reports of rooted devices, and some running custom ROMs, not being recognized by the website. We're having the very same issue ourselves, where a pristine Desire Z running a factory installed copy of Android 2.2 Froyo is listed on the "My Device" page while an old HTC Hero hacked to run Froyo courtesy of FroydVillain ROM does not, even though it's logged in and syncing using the same Google login ID and the Android Market has been recently used from the device (as Google recommends on the "Trouble Downloading" help page). So what about you oh reader, oh rooter... what are you experiencing?

Working fine on MIUI rom. Just tried it to make sure.

poll up

I'm using CM 6.1.1 and it's not working for me. Maybe because I'm also using the old market.

YOU NEED THE NEW MARKET.
Working fine on CyanogenMod 7.

I don't think this has anything to do w/ being rooted and/or running a custom ROM. I'm on EViO 1.7.7 & at first the web market didn't recognize my EVO until yesterday morning but I'm stll unable to install apps. I think it's just a matter of Google working out the kinks. Besides, Engadget's poll is somewhat meaningless since most people that are running their phones completely stock don't even know a web market exists & have probably never heard of Engadget.

Probably something set in the ROM that is wrong, there are a ton of different properties that can do all kinds of weird stuff if they aren't right.

Working perfect for me on CM 6.1.1 with the old market.

It didn't work for me when it first rolled out while on myn RLS5. However, for a few reasons, I wiped, reflashed the same ROM, restored all user apps and a few system apps. It now works just fine.
So there's something that needs to be reset. I don't know what it is. I had tried clearing market data and that didn't do it. Maybe GTalk (it sounds like it uses that to push the install notifications). Maybe something else. But it will work with a custom ROM, even if it initially didn't work with that same custom ROM.

Could it have something to do with background data and auto sync? When I turn both off my chrome to phone also stops working. Haven't tried to install apps from the site though

Just confirmed it works on Warn TwoPointTwo RL5

Not working for me on RLS5, maybe it has to do with flashing CM/Myns back and forth for a while bc it shows some apps I installed using CM as installed and of course the apps are not installed any longer, and im on the latest market. Anyhow im waiting on a RC for CM7 to start from scratch.

specs in sig and it works, downloads start in maybe 10-15 secs.

@driguez: assuming you've done the proper backup/restore with Titanium, force-close the Market app and delete its data. Then reload it and you should have your app list back without the extra CM apps. You could even try the remote downloading but I don't know if it'd work.

New YouTube App

So Google released an update to the youtube app with UI changes and other improvements that are indications of Gingerbread. Info can be found here: http://phandroid.com/2010/10/20/youtube-gets-redesigned-gingerbread-version-heads-to-the-market/
So I found it in the market but can't get it to install, even tried unmounting sdcard. Anyone else have luck let me know how you did it
tried it out im running darkstones 3.2 and works perfectly LOVE it actually!!
Thanks for info
Works on mine, NexusHD2-FRG83 V1.4
Awesome! can anyone post the apk file or is that not possible? i cant seem to download it:/
Hmm, just tried again and will not install, I wonder if uninstall the old YouTube first
Actually can't unsinstall the old youtube, anyone else using Bangsters get it to install? Or can someone post the .apk and I can try it that way

Don't show up as an update seems like a new different YouTube app.
Yeah before it was part of the gapps package... This is such a win win... Smaller roms/ gapps packages. Easier to pick and choose.

Running CM6
I just installed it on cm 6. Below are the steps I followed.
1) uninstall your youtube using titanium backup.
2) reboot your phone
3) install youtube from market
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Try removing old one with titanium... then unmounting your sdcard then install... make sure u have space.
Hope that helps.
I'm running cm6 nightlies and I just installed it from the market and it worked fine, didn't remove old one before or anything. Oh, and yea it didn't say it was an update but it did indeed replace the old youtube app.
running cyan6 and installed with no prob. it replaced my old one considering it wasnt an update but a new app. looks pretty nice
WHOA...I LOVE this app now...the fact taht videos play without going into full screen is clutch.

Same problem here (N1 FRF91 Vodafone-Spain).
Seems that there is no solution at the moment (for non root users).
It works on MIUI 10.15
Loving this new youtube app, a very nice improvement. Thanks for posting this, I wouldn't have known for a while otherwise... it wasn't showing a youtube app installed on the miui rom I'm running. Installed over the existing one with no problems.

I've tried the latest market also(the one at first post), and i'm now back to latest official market:
Go to Applications ---> Manage applications --> Market --> Uninstall Updates
Now you're back on first market(without auto-update), time to get back to the latest one. Open this market and browse a little bit.
After that, open a taskkiller(don't know if inbuild taskmanager works, I guess it does) and go to settings. Enable 'Show system processes', and go back to the taskkiller. Then Kill the apps 'market' and 'market updater'. Open the market again, and you've got the market with tabs and auto-update.
----
Above worked for me, I can't garantee it's working for you, but I hope it does
Maybe a little note: When browsing on the old market(without tabs), the sync logo appeared in notification bar. I think that meant he was updating the market again.

How I got Swype for ICS onto my G2

http://www.swype.com/get-swype/how-do-i-get-swype/
Register for Beta Account
You'll get a code and url in email to download the swipe installer (which it'll ask you for the code you received when you login and continue to download swype onto the phone).
It's free, but it's also Beta, but using ICS on our devices is kinda like beta in itself.
Installed and working on my G2 with EliteMod ICS Rom (signature for details).

Does any1 tested it on other ICS ROMs? (I'm waiting for my DZ to came back from repair)
Using this on Andromadus Mimicry 1.1.2 and it functions perfectly. Also works on flinny test builds as well as Beta.
works fine with my DZ Sensewich rom (ICS Sense 4.0). Just installed yesterday on beta as well :highfive:
CM9 Unofficial
Swype works fine for me on the unofficial CM9 RC1 build. FWIW, had it installed on CM7, so restored via Titanium.
Takes a few seconds to load if the phone's multi-tasking heavily, but it works.
i just installed swype beta on mimicry 1.1.0 ICS 4.0.4 (cm9 based). it works so good for me.
i tested swype about 1 year ago on my gingerbread rom but this version has improved so much!
added a lot of language support and word prediction is now working so much better than before.
but the problem is loading in first time boot on any application like GO sms.
i love the new swype but i think the default andoird keyboard is smoother.
i will keep using swype until it really slow down my device .
Thanks I actually thought Swype would stink until I actually tried and it works beautifully! Followed your instructions and it's working great for me.

Installed its about 20mb, but for safety probably won't install on a /data partition with a mere 100mb left. Since got to have some room left for cache, settings, app data and so forth.
