Hello,
I have flashed my vibrant with from JI6 (t-mo) to (bionix V 1.2.1) froyo but the android market still shows that my phone is running JI6.
Is there a setting in the android market that I need to change to make the market see that I am running froyo.
thanks
How do you know what the market sees your phone as?
Does Adobe Flash show up when you search "adobe" ?

Because when I go to the android market website (market.android.com) and then I sign in using my google account.
I clicked on an app, let say car home (google inc, tools). Then Ichoice to device to install too, my vibrant is grey out with a
question mark. I click on the question mark - it will display not compatible to my device.
I tried installing it thru appbrain , it displays that my device is running android 2.1. The car home came with TW nero5 before. BionixV 1.2.1 does not come with it. This is the reason why I want to install it.
Best thing to do would be to ODIN back to stock, then upgrade to froyo (2.2) with Kies Mini, THEN flash a custom ROM. Preferably Bionix-V 1.3.1, works great, and has the awesome of 1.2.1 + 1.3.1 features.
The reason it says that is because the rom probably still has the same modem installed.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
never used mini kies.
mmm.... since I did flash bionixV 1.2.1, does it still use the same modem as J16?
Can someone be kind enough to give me the car home apk made by google?
try using Market Enabler if you want to see more froyo apps.
OK I'll try it

TBH i've never used it because i've never had problems with Market, but i just downloaded it to see what it looks like, and i think you go to the SETTINGS LIST and then select
[us] TMOBILE (TMOBILE)
which means that you live in the USA and are on TMOBILE network.
choose which-ever network your on.
Then try it

I am unable to see a particular free app listed in the Market on my rooted Vibrant running stock KB1. App name is "IBNLive" (com.divum.ibn). However, my friends are able access the app from their Captivates.
I tried to to use the Web Market, but it shows up "App is not compatible with your device" message and does not even give me an option to install it.
Is there a way to get this app on my phone? It is a simple news app - so if it can show up on the Captivate, why is incompatible with the Vibrant?
I just looked and I can see it there...

Hmmm... I am not sure what is missing on my phone! Can't think of anything that I might have done wrong.
go to settings>applications>manage applications>ALL Tab>market and clear cache and data and try that.

This usually does the trick but I also suggest downloading appbrain. I can always search appbrain for an app I don't see and it will link me to the market link. I actually had to do it with the XDA app.
I have experienced similar issues I cant see Music Junk and when I search for IBNlive it shows There are no matches in Android Market.
I noticed it when I went from Axura 2.2.9 to Flagship v3.
Possible user error on my part.

Hey guys. I made a mistake, here is what happened. I had ROOTed my phone a while ago and downloaded Barnacle. It was working flawlessly. My phone started acting up so i had thought to exchange the phone for another one, so i unrooted it and removed all the rooted apps i had on it. I didnt exchange the phone because it isnt giving me random reboots and the battery isnt getting really really hot when what i think its charging but it really isnt. I decided to keep it obviously and i just rooted right now. I go to download Barnacle from the market site and i am not allowed to click on my device that i have listed because "this app isnt allowed by my carrier" or something along those lines. Is there a way i can still get this app??
Thanks in advanced
From market, search and install "Market Enabler". Use that to change your market region to Telstra (Australia). Now you can search in market for Barnacle and be able download/install it. After that, revert back to your original market region with market enabler.
Thank you VERY much sir. Worked perfect. So what else can i do with this Market Enabler app?
Glad that it worked
I have no idea what else you can do with it since this was the only reason I used that for myself. Basically if AT&T removes a particular program from their market, you can search for other providers' market with this app and install the program.

Just wanted to throw this out there. With a lot of apps made for rooted phones you can usually download the apk right from their respective websites onto your phone and use the built in file manager to install them. That's how I got Barnacle anyways.

But if you do that you won't get auto-updates from the market, am I right?

Well, here's the thing. If it's not already listed as a compatible app for your phone than it won't link to the market regardless. It would work just as well to check the website probably once a month for updates, just as you would have to do with the market enabler. But if you use the website, you could get your hands on some beta versions ahead of time.

But I digress, it's really up to the user what they want to do. I was merely just pointing out a different option.
Thanks, I learned something today
I used market enabler method because I though it would update automatically, which apparently isn't the case.

Well, I'm not entirely sure if you can just switch providers to enable updates through the market but I would assume it would still need to be done manually.
I just loaded it from the Barnacle site, which worked well...
Ditto, Thank you for this thread... I was looking for a good wifi tethering app. Now if only AT&T could get their act together.
Anyone using this app got a letter or text from ATT?

I had the same issue last night. Obviously, you need to update your market, but I'm not 100% sure how I did it. I believe that Titanium Backup asked me if I wanted to update a few of my backup files. I believe that I had to update my Market, Maps and Gmail.
Which sbf did you flash, and what are you trying to accomplish?
Go in to the Application managenent & clear the data of the Market, reboot & open the market again. That should update to the new one.

So I use hbo go alot for my commute and just upgraded to nayvalants cherryrom 2.3.4. Hbo go doesn't show up on the market anymore, not compatible anymore, so I restored a backup from titanium. It works fine until I go to load a video and ut just keeps loading. Any ideas if its because of compatibility issues or is there someway to fix?

If it helps eliminate some theories:
I'm on OTA 2.3.4 , HBO Go not in market, but had it installed already previously. Plays videos fine.
Maybe try uninstalling and re-backing up ..
or it could be specific to nayvalants rom?
Some people have been reporting that apps are missing in the Market after flashing to 2.3.4.
Also, are either of you using the new leaked Market?
If so, this will cause data connection drops, and can show files as downloading for long periods before they time out.
If you are on the new Market, suggest you revert back by Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > select Market > select Uninstall Updates.

Regular market.
Its on Market version 3.0.26 which i assume is the new version since it has a completely new look to it. If it is the new one, its the one that came installed with the rom. What are you recommendations?
eh? do i have to install the old version of market? what version # is that?
cool man nice to see this

No, I'm on the old market version and HBO GO is not on there for me via 2.34 OTA. I have it from when I was 2.2.2
Not in the market for me, either. Ken's beta 4.5, AT&T. Didn't there used to be a market enabler somewhere? I'm betting AT&T blocks it.

is there a way to downgrade the market to the old version? the new market wont let me dl anything anymore, says there is not enough room on the device...
Not blocked just may not be 2.3.4 compatible

search online for the latest .apk youll find it and manually install it. still works HBO just needs to update their app but im guessing that wont happen till we get an official gingerbread release
anyone know where to get the old vending.apk? I can't find one.
I upgraded to nayvalant's 1.1 with the old market and HBO still doesn't show up in the market. I restored my backup of HBO and it still doesn't work. Guess it truly isn't compatible with 2.3.4
Works fine for me...

Doesn't show up in market for me, but I found a copy of 1.0301 online and installed it and it works great. ATT Atrix 2.3.4 (KP's version)

I posted it wasn't a matter of old vs new market. It doesn't show up at all.
It DOES work though, just doens't show up in market. Works perfectly fine on 2.3.4 so maybe it's a nayvalant thing where it doesn't play for you.
and the reason for not posting a link to the 1.03 version ?!?!
i hav 1.02 might be the reason.
not gonna share the link??

I don't have a link... but I flashed samcripp's ninja rom today and HBO GO shows up when I search in the market. It's either ninja rom or the HBO app updated to show up in 2.3.4 market. Try a search again.
Just installed ninja rom and HBO works and appeared in the market. Must just be something specific navalynt's rom. Thnx!
I had Words with Friends on my Nook that was running Phiremod 6.1
It was working fine up until yesterday. I didnt update anything. When I opened WWF it said there was an update and it took me to the android market website where it said that the app was not compatible with my nook. I uninstalled it and tried to install it again but now I dont have the option to install it. Anyone else having the same issues?
same here im running phiremod 6.3 i even found an apk cause it wont download in market.im hoping WWF fixes this..
Same here - I'm running CM7. I'm hoping Zynga fixes this.
Yes I am having the same issues , running cm7 off sd card . When I open the words with friends it opens a window to update, I cant get around it. When I do try to update it it sayes the color nook is incompatiable . And yet it wont let me not update. All my family have ipod touchs and iphones and havent had this issue .
Same problem as well. Running Phiremod Nook v7 TEST. I installed the APK from the XDA site originally, but it seems like that version has now been blocked by Zynga - I get the update dialog that I cannot dismiss.
Tried uninstalling, but now I can't even open the APK from the links here to reinstall.
Settings- applications- find market- uninstall updates- download it with the old market.

That fixed it. Uninstalling the Updates to the Market did the trick. For some reason the new market doesnt allow a bunch of apps to work with a modified Nook.
that didnt work for me after clearing updates for market it still comes back as the new market..

Thanks! Worked for me too on the Nook Color.
The old Market trick works. You have to be quick though, else it updates again and you have to go through it again.
thank you I am back up running the words with friends with the old market
Reverting back to the old Market , allowed me to download game from market . All is well now . Thanks
Is there an APK floating around that i can send someone?
so there is no way to get it without reverting back to the old market? :-/

You could also change your dpi to 160 and then delete market data to continue to use the new market but it will eventually go back to the way it is now and you'll have to clear market data again.
