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.

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've tried downloading the Official Google Docs Android app from and it's apparently not available for the X8, but yet when I searched for the same app using the Market app on my X8 I was able to download it, and it seems to work (I've not really played around with it fully) so don't know how much actually works and what doesn't.
Why does the Android Market website say apps are not compatible with certain devices when they clearly are via the Market App?

My phone one morning all of a sudden had the new Market that could rent movies. Since then I've flashed CM7 with the 06/13 gapps and have the old Market again. I am wondering how to coax it to update again?
Since the new Market is for 2.2+ I'd like to get it on my gf's Froyo phone as well. A general solution is what I'm looking for I suppose.

search the Dev section for the thread that has an apk you can download and install manually

Here is the new market apk.

Do not rent movies while rooted though, as you can pay for movies, but not watch them. This is because you can modify your framework to remove drm, and the content providers asked google to block root users from accessing movies.

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.
Having a slight issue. Trying to download songs through Google Music (Market) while on Nexus Prime 360 V1.6 (MIUI 2.3.7). I am not able to download any music. The Market gives me an error "Error Retrieving Information From Server".
Any idea why? I've wiped Market Cash and tried again, even re-installed Google Music.
Really would like to use some of the new features Google offers.
Thanks guys,
Same here I'm running miui LE. I wonder if they are blocking root users.

I've been talking to an Android engineer. He says they are having a few issues with the Market, check out and Music working together. Perhaps its that? I don't know. He's going to look into my case specifically. I know I can login on the PC, but that defeats the purpose. If I'm doing that, I can just dl and transfer music over.
