I recently rooted my Droid Eris and currently am running 2.3.3 on it and was wondering if there is añyway to update the market to run applications that were not available on the 2.1 Eris? An example I am trying to install stupid zombies but even the apk file wont let it install.. please help
I'm not sure about that particular app but most apps that can't be found in the market on the Eris are not listed because they aren't compatible with the hardware. That said, some of the apps that can't be found on the market for the Eris can be found on sites like getjar. Not all of them run well or at all though.

If the app is compatible with your phone you can get online also.

After updating to JI6, I'm unable to download and install, sometimes even to find on the market, the Nytimes app.
Perhaps it's connected to my flashing the upgrade via Odin after my OTA attempt failed and I lost all my prior apps and data.
In all events, is there anything I can do to get it back?
Since I rooted my Droid Eris and installed a Froyo rom, I have been unable to find it on the market as well.
I found an older version of it and installed it, but it crashes every time I open it.
I wonder if the app doesn't work on froyo and that's why it's not on the market.
It was on the market as of last week, before I rooted the app and installed Froyo.
I hope someone else can find more information about this.

I have it on my phone running 2.2 - version 1.6.8
I have it too
On froyo 2.2
I've checked the market again (searching for nytimes) and it did not appear. I've installed a few other apps from the market with no problems.
I read that at least one other person was having problems searching for specific apps (although not the nytimes) in the market using the same rom that I'm using, Tazzfroyo I'm guessing that might be the problem for myself, and the same type of problem could be it for the OP as well.
I'll keep you updated.

a ROM does not effect how the market behaves. Google does.
You might be living in another place where the NYTimes app is not being released, for country reasons.
There are apps that others cant see but you can.
There's a app that lets you see all forgot name though

Try this as well as dl appbrain. Some rare occasions I cannot find an app so I browse though appbrain and it links me to the market download. I actually had to dl it with the xda tapatalk app and the sirius app.

Thank you for your suggestions and help.
After clearing the market cache and rebooting; and then installing appbrain [although it did appear in appbrain], The NYTIMES still did not appear in the market.
I then ran the Eris Market Fix (the newest version, v1.7) rebooted - which fixed my problem ! nytimes app finally appeared in the market. =)
I'm in the US so I don't know why the app wouldn't appear in my market before running the market fix...
I am trying to figure out the best way to transfer apps from my rooted Captivate to the Atrix. Titanium backup would be the natural choice, but it only works on a rooted phone which the Atrix isn't, at least for now. I could go to the android web page https://market.android.com/ and tell it to download each app separately. But I am wondering if there is a non rooted backup/restore app that will let me selectively backup/restore?? I say selectively because I do not want to restore those apps that require a rooted phone.
Then there is the question of the market place which saves your downloaded app list linked to your gmail account. I do not want market place to remember those apps I don't want on the Atrix. So the question is how do you instruct the market place to "forget" installed apps? The only way I know of would be to install ALL the apps via either a backup program or thru the web client, then de-install those from the phone I don't want which would then wipe them out from market place account so they will not keep re-appearing in my app list.
I should have my Atrix in my hands this Monday!
I would too like to know this. Thanks to anyone who knows the answer!
Try AppMonster.....there's a pro version as well
I would suggest App Brain personally...That's what I've been using during my time with my EVO.

Actually, AppBrain and all those "add-on Markets" won't work with the Atrix out of the box. AT&T disallowed sideloading and that counts apps like that.
On the plus side, the Atrix has already been rooted (read the first topic in the Dev section of the Atrix forum)...so it lets you do anything you want.
Check the Atrix dev sub forum - They have root!

GREAT
OK looks like we are going to have our Atrix rooted and Titanium backup working but there is still the problem of the market links. There is some reference to market links in Titanium backup but not sure if that works to enable updates and there's still the issue of un-installed not wanted apps getting unregistered with market place. I had lost some apps and reinstalled with Titanium backup and I am not sure if I regained the market links or not. I am certainly not complaining and expect to spend many hours setting up the phone...thats part of the fun. Until a solution appears the best way to handle this may be to install the apps separately from the market place or via the web. I will try other programs others have suggested and post a solution here if found.
You can still sideload via ADB - so if you have the APK file it is simple to side load many.
How do you extract your own apk's? Been wondering this for a while now

I'm coming from an Evo so not familiar with this sideloading business - is there a primer someplace?

App brain only side loads? I though by synching my account, it would allow me to re download all applications from the market that is how it checks for upgrades anyway.
I use.app brain to actually check for updates to apparently o had installed through Titanium, apparently that do NOT have market links.

MyAppList
The free program MyAppList will make a text file of all the apps installed on your phone. I am going to un-install any apps i do not want installed on the Atrix. Then print out MyAppList. Then go to the market place on my Captivate and goto "my apps" so that the market updates what I do and do not have on the phone. When the Atrix arrives, I will register with my same email. Then on the Atrix i will go to the market place so it will update the installed list. Then I will go market place on the PC and install all of my listed apps, checking off each one on MyAppList as I go. The advantages are I will be sure to get all the apps, there will be no question as to what is or is not installed, the Atrix will automatically install the apps and the apps will get updates thru the market. I have 397 apps installed on the phone, maybe 225 of them are 3rd party apps so it may take a couple of hours to download and install them all but since the Atrix runs so quickly it may go a lot faster.
My Captivate is maxed out. I have a lot of widgets running and am constantly running out of memory. And then there is the lag problem which gets worse when you are running out of memory. With 1 gig of ram there is plently of memory with room to spare. This is going to be a very welcomed upgrade.
I am wondering exactly when the phones will arrive at the AT&T store. Are there Sunday deliveries? Monday is Presidents Day. I am going to the store tomorrow (Sunday) to see if they arrived and see if they will give it to me.....
Has anyone been able to successfully install the Google Music app from either the Music beta site or from the market?
It does not appear in the Market for me and the Music beta site says my device is incompatible. Yet, I got a hold of the .apk and it installs and runs fine.
So is this something peculiar to our CM7 ROMS or is Google just saying that a stock Eris can't run it and blocks the install?
Google Music Beta requires at least 2.2 and since they know the latest version for the Eris was an OTA 2.1 upgrade, the Eris is technically deemed "incompatible" according to the Market.
BTW, I also have the latest Music 3.0.1 installed and it works perfectly fine as a player and with my Beta account as well.
Just search XDA for the apk and it will work fine. At least it does for me like everyone else says.

Hello,
If anyone can refresh my memory I would appreciate it.
I have had my atrix for several months. I rooted it almost immeditately after I got it with superoneclick... then the update came out and broke that.
I did not bother to mess with it for a while.
Now that the community has come out with gingerbreak and gladenable, I have rooted my atrix again...
So, to my memory lapse. superoneclick (I think) added another icon that was a non market app store. I think it started with a letter "C" but I cannot remember the complete name!
Is it possible to get this icon with gingerbreak?
Thanks!
Do you recall what this icon/app did?
That may help others remember.
Yes, the icon was a non market app store app.
I remember installing titanium back up using it.
The name started with a "C". Cyllia or cydia or something...
Thanks
I did not use SuperOneClick, as I just jumped on the Atrix bandwagon a few weeks ago, but I do know that Cydia is an unofficial market for the iOS.
Android does not have Cydia to the best of my knowledge. The only unofficial Market app that I know of is the Amazon Appstore.
It memory server me right you are asking about the option in settings/applications... If anyone has the location in root “data/data/??????” For the non market app on off option, let us know .Thank you and I hope that is what you where talking about.
Hi there. I saw this game on the Market recently and was wondering if anyone has it running on their NCs?
I was able to download it from the market, but it immediately FCs with no additional info. FYI I'm running CM7 n123 with no OC.
Thanks,

Went into market but unable to download. Missing download button... How come you can
Downloaded the Lite version to my phone and pulled the apk over. Did a quick test and started up the tutorial with no force closes.
7.1 RC w/ OC 1200
Additionally, I was not able to download it from the market directly to the NC (hence pulling it from my phone). What version of market do you have? Possibly you still have an older version, not device aware, and were able to download it? I know that after market updates to the newer version, that some applications will not update if the device does not meet the requirements of the application (GPS, etc).
I'm still on the normal market, version 2.3.6 I think. It's definitely not the new one. I was able to download directly from the Market app, but web based Market says incompatible.
Very odd indeed.
