[Q] Missing Apps from Market u20 on eclair 2.1 - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hey,
So i can purchase and download apps.
But there are a few I can't seem to see in market including
"cachemate" for root users
anyone else running into issues seeing apps in market?

This may be because of the screen resolution issue. Because the screen resolution of the Mini is lower than normal the market only shows up apps that developers have marked as compatible with this lower screen resolution. There was a fix for 1.6 but since the 2.1 update I don't think it works anymore. I guess we just have to wait until a fix is posted.

[Q] Angry Birds on X10 Mini, it's possible?

When trying to install I receive a "out of memory" message but my phone has 40 MB left and the app has only 12...
Anyone could install?
I'm trying the full release downloaded from getjar
* sorry about my poor english
It runs on mine, but displays nothing. So far, it doesn't work on QVGA displays, but I've read that there will be a version that supports it sometime later.
I'm also tried only blank screen.
Then sound working.

I just tried angry birds on my girlfriends x10 mini pro but just get sound and a blank screen.
I did get it to work on my HD2 using android. I was only expecting it to be the lite version but it seems to be the full program.
They've released the entire game for free on Android. But as said earlier, QVGA is not supported yet.
So sad
This answers the question on why it isnt on the market....
Works fine on my x10 mini with 2.1 update vey smoothe.
On my X10 Mini Pro (witk UK version) works well. A few stops from time to time but nothing big.
Running fine here. Managed to swallow my battery from full to nothin within 6 hours!

From the looks of things, the devs at Angry Bird have released a new version of it which is compatible with the resolution of the X10 Mini. The one floating around on web sites is the old version which is not compatible with the X10 Mini.
This is what Ive gathered when phpchris got it from the market.
phpchris, is there any chance you can get the installer you got from the market and upload it somewhere?

bad info man...Angry birds can't work on 1.6 of the x10mini because it uses open gl 2.0 wich are not supported;
i tried to use last version of the game on my handset before fw upgrade and no success but now that i have 2.1 runs smoothly.
The only issue is regardin resolution: as the developers said the game isn't fully compatible with QVGA and so you loose a small portion of the screen in game...fully playable anyway

In my mini i dont loose screen, but when a tutorial image appears, y need to come back to desktop and enter again, then choose repeat

[Q] Trick Market you got a higher res.

With this guide which is for Tattoo you could do that with 1.6
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645286
I tried now after I have rooted with 2.1, but it didn't work all the way. I could replace the vending.apk and see the other apps which demanded higher resolution and download em. But everytime it was going to install the apps the market force closed.
Has anyone got this going and could you share the magic?

Eris Market Fix disaster

Having updgraded to 2.1, I wanted to try Google Earth.. it's not available for our resolution, so I thought I'd try the Eris Market Fix, which wasn't available for Android 1.6.
Well, it's totally borked my phone! I thought it would just alter the market app, but instead it's lowered the resolution, I'm getting force closes all over the place, some of my app icons have vanished, menu navigation keeps breaking, and I can't tell if it fixed the market because I've lost all connectivity!
Does anyone know how to undo the Market Fix? I suspect I'm going to have to do a repair via SEUS, but I can only do that at home in 8 hours time. :|
edit: It's also knackered SuperUser, so I can't do anything root-related, and now I can't even shut down, because the screen's so corrupted. Out goes the battery..
i updgraded to 2.1 too and the fix for 1.6 dosnt work :-(
i forgot to save my original Vending.apk now i have no market anymore (lol)
can someone upload original Vending.apk pls? or post a link how to fix the market on new x10 mini android 2.1
thx bodo

New Market Update

Hi all!
Is it just me or the new update of the market is not good for our x10 mini? i can't see anything because of the new design... why does google certificate devices and then create such a rubbish update that doesn't fit in our mobile phones?
sorry for my english,
bye!
I've just noticed that my market got updated too.
Some text gets chopped off, like the Install button and the browsing categories.
hey buddy my android market is not updated and i tried to update it by the setup but did not get success
No root for update.
Sent from my U20i using Tapatalk
Got the update.
My phone keeps rebooting today when I start the market. Anyone else seeing this?
i've had no issues with it...
but as the others have mentioned, it is ugly... seems unfitting for our small screen resolution
Also got the update. Don't know when that happened, it must have updated in the background.
My device is rooted (z4root), and the update of the market has not interfered in any way with it.
I'm also disappointed in the user interface. Before it was much better.
looks like it has been updated again, i can see all the text now
yes they have fixed it, but it's still awful for our small screen... I'm so angry...
however i have a rooted x10 mini pro and no problem with this updates
guys, if you want the new market to look better, you can tilt the phone to landscape mode, it's not that great but i find it easier to read.

Why do so many Market apps show as "Not compatible with...." Dell Streak?

I've noticed at least 10 apps that show as 'not compatible' with my Streak, including the latest, XDA app, for example.
Question is: Why?
I have only modded the resolution to 180, but other than that, I'm running a stock and rooted ROM (351) with just a bit of bloatware stripped out. (Stage UI, etc.)
Can anyone give me an idea as to why apps that by all accounts ARE compatible show as being incompatible for me?
The main point is that I'm sure that many of these apps work for other Streak owners, just not for me.
The XDA app being a prime example of such. There must be a logical reason, but I don't know it. Anyone?
I am also on stock 351 and the XDA app shows up as compatible for me in the market. Did you change your fingerprint to get another app working, such as Netflix? I am at the stock 160 density.
The method that the market uses to determine compatibility is pretty poor when it comes to matching apps with compatible devices. You can try changing the fingerprint to another device.
Double check that you have the content filtering (maturity level) set to all, but that should not effect the XDA app.
I too found now that lots of the apps shows that they are not compatible with Dell Streak. Even some of the apps already installed won`t update because they are not compatible with Dell Streak now!
I tried to unroot Streak and now it is ok and at least apps already installed are again compatible. So try to unroot it first. Anyway, I needed root just to get rid of ooVoo etc.
I have official 351 and density set to 140

I can't function without root, but I suspect it might be the same problem, because I have the identical problem. Installed apps show as 'incompatible'... what a load of crap.
Thanks for the tip. I'll try it.
Unrooting attempt forked my system. I had to restore. Thank god for Nandroid
Can't unroot.
Which items are showing as not compatible with the Streak so someone like me, with the resolution untouched but the ROM rooted, can test things.

Many things which I already have installed show as incompatible, such as these two examples:
Drag Racing
XDA Forum app
QuickOffice Pro (which I own and purchased directly) is also listed as incompatible, but I have it installed and running perfectly.
I found an apk here for the Drag Racing app and it works. I'm now up to the latest version, but my Market app still shows that I need to update but says it's not compatible, but as I said, I already have the game installed and have already updated it to 1.1.0 via the apk manually.
There are quite few others, but I don't recall them all now.
None of those are showing as incompatible on my Streak. So the most likely culprit is the screen DPI change you made, since the DPI change is the only major difference between your Streak and mine. There are other possibilities such as a bugged Market APK or a corrupt flash of the ROM, but those aren't as likely.
I presume you have tried getting these apps through your PC?
I think it is just the root. I have DPI 140 (different from official 160 and even that is not standard for 800x480 screen) and I have device unrooted now and apps are compatible again (for example Appbrain was not compatible before and now it is ok).
When I last time had problem with this I wrote to developer of application and he wrote back that the app should be compatible with Dell Streak. So I wrote to Google support and they wrote that my device is rooted so they can't support it. So maybe Google is blocking some of the apps to the root users?
Donalgodon: sorry for your troubles with unrooting. I used Gingerbreak and the unroot function worked perfectly.
If I weren't rooted I might be inclined to agree with you. But, I'm rooted therefore something else must be causing the compatibility problem. Unlike you guys, I didn't change the dpi of the screen. The dpi change seems to be the common denominator here, and thus the dpi is more than likely the culprit.

They show as incompatible from the PC also. I reset the Market, but no love.

Hmmm... but I have different DPI then official (140) and when unrooted apps are compatible again and I still have DPI 140... But maybe another idea - I updated market manually. If I think of it, that was maybe the time when appbrain shows as not compatible...
So, does anyone updated Android market manually too?
I did not manually update Market, but it did it automatically to the 3.1.3 version. I'll strip out the DPI change later today and report back.
I had the same problem so I tried changing back to 160 using blade buddy, nothing happened, until I accidentally turned it off. After boot, I checked market and it was fixed. So I tried going back to 200 using lcd density (which is temporary until you do a full reboot), the problem came back. I did a reboot, now back to 160 and it was ok again. So I tried blade buddy again and set it to 200 and saved it, full reboot, and it's still fixed. I hope this will solve your problem too.

Just a follow up to my own OP...
I stripped out every mod I made and even replaced the original build prop from a backup I made when I first flashed the stock ROM.
No luck. Still the same apps show as incompatible with my device.
This may be one more motivation for me to dump the streak.
Anybody have any other ideas about what I can try?
I had problems with some of my apps not showing so I changed my fingerprint to 351, uninstalled the new market update, and froze the market updater. Using the old market without a problem and all my apps are available. HBO Go would not install with the new market, now it does. Running SD 191 perf 200 dpi.

How can I freeze the market from updating automatically using Titanium Backup?

First freeze market updater (I use Bloat freezer), then go to settings, manage apps, all apps, select market and then select uninstall updates.
You could also change market updater apk to bak
