Guys,
Anyone know where I can find google earth app for my desire??
Tried the market and the google earth website too, but was not able to find it...
Also, if possible, could u all let me know from where I can download android apps directly to my PC...
It is on the Android Market but only seems to be for certain areas.
I debranded my phone using a european ROM and couldn't find Google Earth anywhere but when i switched to a WWE ROM i found it on the Market straight away. If you want to debrand there's plenty of info on this forum.
Lots of people rave about App Brain which lets you browse the Android Market from your PC and then install them directly to the phone when you log in to the App Brain mobile app. It keeps record of your downloads like Android Market, too. As far as downloading directly to your PC i am not sure if it lets you do that.
shanofran, check your pm
I have the same problem with debranded Desire

Wow, I really feel like zooming through the Earth on my phone today! Maybe I should check MY pm?................. *cough*

Thanks!
yeah, i'm still waiting for someone to post the actual fix here.
what's with the PM shenanigans anyway?
My phone crashes when I try to install it from the market. OpenDesire 2.0.
@tommo123: there was no fix, I was just sending them app since they didn't have it on market
tinytom21, jimmymagix, art0rs: check your pm
I already found the apk. Installing it crashes my phone as well.

Try debranding your phone with one of the WWE ROMS, i used one from the ROM list in the development section and now my phone is fully debranded and has fully working google earth from the android market.
This is the ROM i use
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
i'm running mcr 3.1, i think it's unbranded. anyways, so google made their app not appear on the market if i have a subsidised phone as opposed to buying a generic one outright?
that's crazy stupid!

Speed fix for Froyo Roms on MARKET
After playing with alot of Roms one thing i noticed is the incredible slow speed of market loads and searching. LeeDROID rom has excellent market speeds. The attached file is a grab of Market files from the LeeDROID rom and then packaged up to flash.
This has been tried on multiple roms and gives EXCELLENT SPEED WITH LOADING, SEARCHING and even DOWNLOADING. It is also know to give you back that illusive PAID TAB in some instances (has worked for me every time)
Give it a go and let us know what you think. Countrys with no paid apps may not add the paid tab.
Also once rebooted it may take half hour to sync up with Google before you notice the speed. But once its going it is alot faster
ENJOY!!
Install - Flash zip from Recovery or ROM Manager
of course always nandroid first before flashing anything.
I take no responsability for bricks
Big thanks to LeeDroid (and congrats on the new baby) and also dancedreamfly for helping with packaging

any feedback if people are noticing the speed difference here
Does it actually remove the Market or can it work alongside (for comaprison purposes it would be useful to download the same app within each)

it replaces it, could nandroid and compare your two different roms, but if you was suffering from slow market you will notice the speed anyway
Anyone tried this?

i couldnt tell you, i have only ever tried on Sense Roms, Previous users have told me it worked on non sense roms such as Defrost so I should imagine it would work fine as it doesnt edit any of the framework of the rom.
Ill try it tonight and see but if you wanna have a go nandroid it first and let me know the results
what's the MACOSX folder?
No paid apps on djdroid.UK network..but its super fast and is now giving me the option to auto update my apps

I tried to install the latest version of Google music (4.1.512) on my desire but with no success.
I tried from a downloaded APK and from market app (with market enabler help) and it shows always this error: "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previews copy of the app and try again."
The installed version is 4.0.1.501 and I'm using the Mildwild CM 3.1.
Thank you.
And did you uninstall the.previous version? To update from 4.0.1 I had to uninstall.
4.1.x was crap though. As soon as I lost signal, music stopped. It didn't cache even though selected. Downgraded ASAP

The installed version will already be part of the ROM so you will need ES File Explorer (Or equivalent with root access and /SYSTEM write) to browse to /SYSTEM/APP/ and remove it.
Once removed reboot your phone and then install the APK and it shouldn't say you need to remove the previous version.
To install the APK just copy it to your SD card and install via ES File Explorer (or equivalent) and it should work. If it moans and says install failed you might need to sign the APK using APK manager or APK multi tool.

You installed it via .apk way rather than market though didn't you? Cos I don't have it on the market and I'm in London..

No. Install market enabler first. Fake a us provider. Google music will be available. But uninstall the 4.0 version first (make a backup before uninstalling).
So it works for everyone else then? I'm skeptical. Did anyone actually test?

I've put this version on my rom and it seems to be working fine. I don't listen to that much music to be honest but it played fine, no skipping or locking up or anything like that. Not sure if I lost my signal at any point though.

Lol. Tested this now playing Foo fighters and turned airplane mode on and off again and the music didn't stop at all.
To be fair I used it without headphones but don't think that would make much difference?!
Odd. Just me then. As soon as I go into the train tunnel, it cuts off. Actually checking my download files, its 4.1.511. Maybe that was a bug...

That could be the reason. I downloaded that version but never used it so I would say give this version a go and see. It seems fine to me.
Thanks. Thought market enabler would allow me to find it in the market but apparently not

Err just because you can install it doesn't mean it's available in the UK.
Try going to Google music on a PC if your not in the US.

Its not officially available, no. You only need a US IP address for 2 minutes to sign up though, then its never required again.

Hello Friends
I don't know if someone already posted this. But I did it myself so m posting here.
First of all to get back old market you need root access on your phone. After that an app that can control system apps like link2sd or SD maid etc. Using that app find an app named "market updater". Freeze that app. Then uninstall updates of Google Play Store (updates only). That's it , now start using old Google market
If you wants to get back to Google Play Store just unfreeze the market updater app n update the market.

Before rooting my wfs when ever I open the play store and look around for any app, for many of times it shows network error, I don't know why it was happening and it also take too much time to load an app info.

After an exhaustive search I have found zero info on the HTC WATCH app. It gives me a connection error every time I attempt to launch it. I confirmed my login info is correct because I can log in with same credentials on my old HTC Amaze and the app fires right up. Can anyone share a working apk? Ideas are welcome. Thank you in advance.

Have you tried to extract the apk from any ROM on xda ? maybe if you replace it by any HTC Watch apk from any ROM it will work, but make sure it's the same base.
I hope I helped.

It is not available where I live (Jordan) so I have no idea. But I am assuming it has to do with your device and HTC account.
Maybe a factory reset, or replacing the HTC Watch apk by extracting it from any ROM and pushing it into the system will help.
Also try to erase HTC Watch data from the app settings then open it again and sign in maybe that will work.
I don't think it works when rooted.
Hide root and try again?
If you are rooted it will work. Mine stock tmobile as well as my wifes it didn't work now that I am now rooted and installed the HTC dev ruu it works fine. My wifes still stock does not work.

I appreciate the link. I downloaded it and my phone prevented it from installing...whether as an update or as a fresh install. Kind of confused by this one. Seems like a very random glitch to have since every single little thing on this phone/rom works perfectly.

It's a system app, you can't just install it like a 3rd party app ... Move it into system/app using Root Explorer or similar, change permissions to rw - r - r and reboot.

Maybe the file has other dependencies then, other files perhaps ... Can't say I know much about it because it, among others, get removed from my ROM at source.

It's a system app that lets you watch movies, the same as the one that comes with stock Google ROMs. You get Thor free with it on the One and you can buy or rent other movies.
I have a couple movies I purchased when I had my HTC Amaze using HTC Watch. I liked the service. They got good movies pretty quick and the pricing was decent. I was able to play them via MHL onto the big screen and it looked great.
Even more strange is that I just tried logging in on a stock HTC One and the same error occurred. I went back to my HTC Amaze and was able to log right in under the same credentials without issue. I even checked (via Amaze) the five device limit on the Watch account and their is only one device registered. (Amaze) I have four empty slots available to register other devices. Crazy.
What Rom are you trying it on. I know on the developer edition it works. Tmobile it doesn't. I am waiting to receive the update from tmobile to see if that fixes it.
