Can't find certain apps on Market

Hey guys, i have a little problem with my market. I'm searching for some applications on market, but i just can't find them.
First one is Gameboid(GBA emulator). I was only able to find the lite version, but since i like it alot, i want to buy the full version. Problem is, i can't find the full version anywhere. Even if i'm redirected from the Lite version so i would buy it, it gives and error that the app wasn't found on Android Market. It's just wierd, cause i can find it here: http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.androidemu.gba and here: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-androidemu-gba-jtqn.aspx .
Other app is the aBTC Bittorrent client. I can't find that either. Are apps region locked or something?

i think i remember seeing that gameboid was pulled off the market a while back.

Just checked the market and as a matter of fact, i can't see even one app that costs money. Only free ones. What's going on? I got CRC37. Bugger

That's your problem, paid apps aren't available outside US/UK(/DE maybe?). Better luck next time.

Install Market Enabler. You'll need a "rooted" build (refer to the stickies in the dev forum for more info)

Just did a search, it is still up there. Full version for 3.99USD.
As said before, the market is region locked (it determines this based on your SIM card, IIRC). Paid apps aren't available in all regions.

I live in the US with a US phone and I can't find any paid apps at all either. They were there the other day, gone now.

Was running CM 4.0.1. Paid apps returned sometime last night/early this morning. I checked about 2am or so and they were all back. Hadn't done anything at all, and they showed up on their own. Guess the market had a glitch?

you should root with cyanogen one click. check page cyanogenmod.com.
install market enabler and yo will be fine.

Snapshot Application Question

I have been wanting this application for quite awhile, but everytime I go to search for it, I never seem to find it.
I have done search queries with mixed results from "Snapshot", "Snapshot app", "Snapshot application", "Snapshot Android Application", "Android Snapshot", with no luck of where to find it.
The worse part of it all, is what I do find, is that it is said to be in the Android Marketplace, again mixed results, and the application no where to be found.
Am I missing something?
(And yes, I'm enjoying CyanogenMod, which has put faith back into my love for my G1. JF ADP 1.5 was still very... unstable... on my phone.)

It's called Screenshot and costs $ .99

Are you serious? All this time, people call it Snapshot, and it really is Screenshot? Looks like I'll have to debate whether to put money in my flexpay.
Thanks a lot.

Will have to wait for the laptop I'm getting. I've only got 1.4GB (less or more, depending on how cache-happy Google Chrome is) left out of my 4GB on my EeePC 4G Surf, and I reserve that for boredom. I forgot about reading about getting it for free somewhere with those tools. I pretty much didn't give a rat's butt when I had JF ADP. I didn't know it could get better.

The only rom I know of that has the screenshot.apk is one of jac's hero roms. It was a while back in the 2.x rom builds because I quit hero with 2.63 so it was before that.

[Q] AmeriCan Android game resolution is too small!

I have the updated AmeriCan Android build and I downloaded Live Poker from the market. Screen looks fine until you actually get to a poker table and it's too small and cut-off. Would this be a problem with the build, the phone, or the game?

The right place for this question would be the thread of the build you are using.
There you have all the people that use this build and the developers of the build.
They would advice you to read the first post, thoroughly, and the FAQ to wich you can find a link in said first post of said thread.

Well, me too. We are just taking different approaches.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and it will feed him all his life.
But you may be right with the stalking. I spend all my time searching for posts like this. When I find one, I give the TS an answer that will surely give him a headache. Then I wait around the corner for you to turn up.
Next time you find one of those posts, shaking your head in disbelief, wait a second before you start typing the correct answer. Quiet. Listen closely. Maybe you can hear my sniggering.

No, don't do this if you like the resolution for normal use.
Open the drawer and look for Spare Parts. Uncheck "Compatibility Mode". Now reboot and all your apps will run fine.

It's a bit easier, although the other way isn't that hard.
It depends on what you like. If you like the smaller status bar/icons so you've got a greater view (what you have at the beginning), then do it the way I explained.
If you prefer the bigger status bar/ icons, do it on your way.
Both ways will make the apps work in full screen, but they'll change the viewing experience.

I have the similar problem with this build [JUN23] AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB234 CM71|bkup2sdext234 [KERNEL:ACA512-1].....however, I check all all the posts at where I got this built and found no help. I followed your advice to copy and paste the root folder to android root but after reboot, the problem persists. In fact, my main problem is: all of the icons are really small in and out of the app drawer.
Thanks for your time and help btw

Maybe you have to cut and paste not copy. Cutting it works for me, i.e. 240buildprop is empty.

Ok it WORKED! FINALLY! tnx man. Ok one more thing (totally unrelated) I keep on trying different builds (some very good) only to try to get Google Navigation to work....it used to work in the past but now no matter what Rom I use, it continues to search for GPS for ever (even though the gps receiver is clearly on) I have tried everything possible to fix the problem but it still persists. IDK what to do now. Any sugestions?

Hi i have the same problem and i dont want the small icons but i can't find the folder: Android>240buildprop can you hel me please?
Sorry I'm new in this stuf.

Zedge

You guys seen their new website? Much, much better! I actually like how it looks now. Check it out.
For those who don't know, not that there's many who don't, it's a site where you can get ringtones/wallpapers/etc. for your phone 100% free, no catch, no bs.
www.zedge.com

Can you tell me what is the point of visiting their website? If I want to download a wallpaper or ringtone, I'll just use their app, why care about what their website looks like?

Because there might be people that rather have a bookmarked site over an app

What do you mean? I still don't see the point of bookmarking or visiting their site.

is easier if you install their App from Market
then you can pick sounds / wallpapers directly from it, and sets it into the system settings

Yeah for sure the app is a really handy one. Use it all the time when i get bored, and there are no new roms to try out.

Completely agree, thanks for the post. I would much rather use my laptop to find what I want to download before I spend 2 hours searching the mobile app for it. Not all of us have blazing fast 4g!

I had a look at their website, you guys are right. It is much easier to browse through the website, however one thing I find strange, how come on their website they don't separate ringtone from notification sound?

Exactly! In the time it takes to view 1 page of wallpapers on the app you can view 4 on the website.

I'd imagine because on most phones it doesnt matter. I remember back when I had my Moto E816 I could only use certain file types for a ringtone/notification/alarm/etc., now you can use pretty much whatever you want.

They should add a remote install feature to the website, obviously requiring you to have the Zedge app installed on your phone. That would make it really worthwhile using the site over the app.
I do agree that the site is better for browsing, but the app sets things for you. We want the best of both worlds.

You mean something like the Market where you pick something you want to d/l and instead of downloading on your pc it automatically d/l's to your phone? That would be sweet!

Yes mate - exactly that and yes, it would be awesome. Google would be doing a great thing if they included something like authenticated remote installation in the Android framework. That would get used so much!

[Q] Best way to create a bounty or ask a dev to help get an app working on lolipop?

Might sound silly but one of my favorite Android games (Jet Set Radio) was never updated to run on lollipop. Sega has instead just pulled the app from the market. The game starts to load but soon crashes. Without knowing anything about development i have a feeling the problem is probably not a serious one and a talented developer maybe able to get the .apk working again

That. ^^^
Also, just don't. Don't start bounties, don't create pressure on a developer to do anything. If you want to see what is what, send them an email offering to pay them directly.
Also, if the program/game was popular and they pulled it, then it was probably more than trivial changes needed to make it work again.

Sega is just a terrible Mobile company. They recently pulled many titles some of which still work even without updates on lolipop.
I heard the Company as a whole is focusing more on mobile but with moves like this how? Unless they will rely on the strength of a few key titles (like SonicRush) and say screw the rest

Seems to be a little bit harsh. Not sure why you think that they would keep dumping resources into software that is EOL.

End of life? Some games they pulled were only released for mobile in the last 12-18 months. Unless this was a quick cash in deal on a few high profile games. Make a quick buck and than abandon the title when it comes time to needing an update
