Hello,
Ever since I updated to CM7. I've run into the problem that certain apps aren't visible in the market on my phone. they are present on the online market but I'm unable to install them.
Does anyone else have the same problem ? and has anyone found a solution?
(Personally I'm running Wgspoelstra's v2.9 (based on nightly .29))
Problem is solved!
solution is posted on page 2 by NL_B!
I can't find Vendetta online in the market either, and i'm running stock (rooted)
hmm I had no such problems on stock just on 2.3.4 CM7
That's because the app isn't compatible with your device (in theory).
But most of the time, that's not true. Just search the apk using other ways and install it with your favourite file manager.
Vendetta is only for tabs btw

Then, maybe it's a region problem.
I can't help.
Well i cant find the apk on the internet so i cant push it to my phone to try
Can you find it in the market? Its called tweakers.net

I'm using the Spanish May version of the stock rom, rooted and installed yesterday.
I can find the app in Market.
Check your "Market" parameters
Maybe you have enabled "content filtering" by mistake as I did once causing a lot of apps not to be displayed...

What you need to do is install google apps one more time. http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/. Use the 20110307 Universal, download it and install it from recovery like how you install the CM7.
I'm familiar with this problem. WG forget to include some components from the google apps.

Use Eris Market Fix (if you are rooted). Worked perfect for me. You can find it market.

Thanks,
I gave it a try, at first I thought It hadnt worked so i rebooted the phone and read the site and it said it would work after the 2nd or 3rd market 'start' and it actually did! awsome
Hi eniux, actually the best way to reset the market (in case it won't download, happened to me couple of times) is to clear the market data.
Go to settings, applications, click on market, clear data.
If you enter the market it will ask you to agree with terms, condition, etc. After this everything will work as it should.

Hi,
I have seen that some people have posted the latest version of the Android Market (2.2.6) as an apk file.
My questions are:
- If it will this work on DHD and correctly overwrite the old Market app and the market update utility ?
- Is installing the app this way legal ?
So anyway I did install it and it works fine.
A much needed upgrade.
I believe you can use this new market .apk file without problems, but I've read that a new official update is cooming soon, so if you doubtful if it's illegal, just wait.
It is working well here. If anyone wants it
Taken from here
Go to Settings>Applications>Mange Applications>Market>Clear Data... then install.
For some reasson I can't update it =(...
Wiped old market installed fine

Am I going to have to purchase my apps again, that I have uninstalled, if I remove the market data?

It looks sooo goooooood

Uhhh for me it seems to be the other way around :S! The new one loads almost instantly, the old one took a few more seconds.
cud my longer start-up time be related to the fact that i downloaded the apk file from here and installed the update manually ?
Thanks for the post.
Runs perfectly on my DHD. Better than the old version actually. A very welcome market update.

Works fine on my DHD with stock rom in Norway. Forgot to wipe data, but it didn't matter.
Will try on Galaxy Tab soon.
Not tested the shorter window for refund yet.

I wiped data after i downloaded and installed the New Market apk File. I still am facing the issue of waiting for the market to launch . Takes Abt 5s and is irritating. Is this normal ?

Is the new Market here in this thread for rooted phones?
I was running Cognition for a while, and found in market a "quickoffice for captivate". Installed it, used it, worked great.
Re-flashed to Continuum, which is an I9000 based ROM, and now a search for quickoffice for captivate gives me nothing.
Is there some setting in the market based on hardware ID or somethign that's blocking me finding this stuff? If so, what are my options? Some app that enables different markets, or changes some string somewhere for identifying the type of phone? Or what?
Thanks for any tips.
Download galaxy s tools and rub the market fix. (it blocks apps that are not "compatible" with your phone but the fix lets you see all ) hope this helps
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Or you could go to the Cognition zip at system/app and copy the quickoffice.apk to your new rom.
or just use this apk
I tried the SGS tools market fix. Didn't change anything. I still can't find it. I'll try the apk. I just was hoping Ii wasn't missing out on other good stuff because of market limitations.

So much for self reliance.
Caution swyping! Read at your own risk.
I have used a app that can make my i9000 compatible with any app in market so I can download it....please help me what is that app....
Thank you in advance
I don't remember such a thing , well if you mean an app that allows you to download apps that aren't available in your area/region , there is yes ..
But an app that allows you to download apps that aren't supposed to work on your phone since its a hardware thing usually ..
Anyways i hope you explain what you're looking for
Good luck

Do you mean market enabler?
Try search "market" in play store.maybe u will find what u are seeking.
i had a similar problem today so maybe this will help you...i will start from the begining.
i was using dark night v3 but when i updated to v5.5 today, two of my important apps were not working. it says in the play store that they wernt compatible with my device. i tried restoring anyway with titanium backup free version but when it popped up to confirm instal (where it shows permissions) it would say failed and then crash the phone on the restoring data
so i bought the pro key for titanium backup. the pro version skips this step and installs in the background. AND IT WORKED! i click on my two apps and they work as before.
i hope this helps you also.

Yes, that is my problem...months ago i used an app to enable me to download uncompatible app that caused by this similar case. I totally forgot the app.
luckily, i didnt download the app from the previous rom. Maybe i need to flash back.

Maybe flash back to the compatable rom, install the app, backup with titanium pro version, flash to new rom then restore with TB pro. it seems the hypershell feature in pro version can bypass the incompatable restriction.

thanks all
still got incompatible issue
the fastest solution is download app from internet.
With some Play Store apps, I couldn't install, and get the message
"This item is not compatible with your device."
The SU660 is supposedly my better android device but my older motorola works with the apps I want to install in the SU660.
How do you resolve or work around this issue with SU660?

At least, you are being warned by Google or else ur phone will keep rebooting. My advise is do not download anything else or ur phone will get loose. Just wait for another version.
No, I don't think it has anything to do with that.
If I get the APK and install it manually, it works fine.

Ok, after a recent rom flash, I managed to reproduce the same error message you had. I resolved it by flashing the gapps package linked by Owain:

If you are using CM9, give that a try and let me know if that resolves yours too.

I can download and search for the apps fine but once it's actually installing, the package installer is stuck.
Download and install a previous version of Aptoide. The same problem you describe, appeared on me with the latest version of Aptoide.
Your phone doesn't have to be rooted for it to work right?

For Aptoide, not. You must however, enable the "unknown packages" option in the Settings\Security panel.
i have the same problem
this problem is caused by aptoide , in the new versione the file downloaded havent .apk extension and the installer doesn't work
if rename the file EXAMPLE in EXAMPLE.apk the installer works correctly but u have to do this with all the application downloaded :/
i want to try to modify to rename the file with extension
Is there an app that's similar or better than aptoide?

Aptoide is the best cydia-like app we have in Android. That's the end of it. If anyone else is experiencing installation problems with the latest versions of Aptoide, all he has to do is simply install an older version of Aptoide. It may be simpler in looks, but, most importantly, it WORKS!

Does anyone know where to install an old version of aptoide? Whenever I try, it always gives me 4.0
Works fine fir me, after upgrading to 4.0 just delete the .aptoide folder then stop the app and clear data in app settings.
Relaunch let it add the default repo and any updating onstalls fine...

Exactly! Here's location of aptoide apps: "/sdcard/.aptoide/apks" They should be named with long, strange numbers
