I have a question about the market app.
How does it work? Like... If I bought the phone somewhere which doesn't allow paid apps. Then I take the phone to another country. Will it use the market server from the first place? Or if the new country allow paid apps. Will I be able to get paid apps with the market app?
Thanks

Its controlled by rom you have installed.
So you would be tied to the country depending on the rom it has. You can always root and install a custom rom then you won't have to worry.

There is a nice small tool called Market Enabler, that let's you enable all the paid apps, based on a different provider setting. No need to travel around the world for that
Thanks for the replies It's just that I dont think I will root it with the 0.92.0->1 SLCD method
Can I use the market enabler even though it's not rooted? (I forgot)

I live in malta and the android market only gives away free apps, is there a way to access the other apps without rooting my phone?
everyone i had asked in malta had told me to resort to downloading these apps off some website

No - in order to use Market Enabler, you need to root your device.

Hello,
I am new to this (i got my desire before 3 days) and i haven't rooted it or anything (yet i guess).
So what i wanted to ask is why i can't find on the market some well knows apps like "SwitchPro Widget" or "Fancy Widget Pro" (although i can find Fancy Widget) or even Beautiful Widgets.
They are just not on the market.
I have tried to install them from appbrain but since it also links you to the market i can't do it.
Can you please help me on that?
Thanks in advance
Paid apps are probably not available in your country.
Once rooted you'll be able to circumvent this with MarketEnabler.
Do you mean every paid app? Because i have downloaded LauncherPro (and paid for it) without any problem.
Thanks for your time btw.
afaik, Launcher Pro (Plus) is a different case, where you install the free version, then paypal the dev for the code to unlock the full version.
Much like how paid apps are not available in some countries, I have already read that some devs in a couple of countries are having trouble getting paid version of their apps on the marketplace, and have instead opt for a "donate" option on top of the free version of their app.
I want to know if there is a way i can have paid apps and actually can purchase app using Android Market in my Nexus,
as you can know google Market is not in every country which you can purchase apps.
In my Galaxy S i used to have the old Market (2.2) which after rooting you can use the Market Enabler app to trick your phone into being in US and actually purchase apps,
Is there a way i can do this my Nexus??
It is silly how we are chasing people on buying their products
A similar technique should work fine still. The Market app just checks region of your sim card to determine if you should see them. That way they allow people from countries where paid apps are available to buy apps even if they are in a country where it usually isn't.
The values from your sim gets read at every boot and are stored as system properties. The way Market Enabler and MarketAccess work is by changing that cached value to MCC and MNC values of an allowed region. They might also adjust the Market cache to reflect the same change but in essence, that's how it works.
The above has not changed as far as I know and there is no reason for Google to change it either. They still make money on every sale. It's not Google who are purposefully blocking it but rather some issue of taxes or something similar.
The problem is with the new version of the Market (3.0 and above) it can let you view the paid apps but it wont let you purchase them, in my Galaxy S i used to uninstall the update of the Market so that i can use the old version of the Market and actually purchase apps
You are right it seems. I haven't used those kind of apps for a long time and it seems they haven't been updated for a long time either. There is an issue in the issue tracker about it
You can find an open source version here if you want to be able to mess around with the code for one.
I am unable to purchase SetCPU (or any other program) from the marketplace I think it is because of my location (Kazakhstan).
I wish to purchase... how can i do this? Please help!!! I have given all of my credit card details to my google account.. but still i cannot buy
Please help me....
SetCPU ? Isn't it free in xda-dev for us xda-dev users ? Or you can try "no-frills", it's free from the market.
Anyway, have you tried "Market Enabler" ? Set your operator to T-Mobile - USA then maybe you can purchase apps from Market.

Absolutely true its free for us, but i am unable to buy any apps.. i have tried "Market Enabler" from the market and it (apparently) fakes the sim to T-Mobile USA, but still i am unable to purchase as it says that "your devise is incompatible"... it says this even when i access the market from the internet :-(

1. when using market enabler, you should set to "fake on boot" so everytime you boot up your phone, you set your phone for the US market (or whatever market you want, really)
2. after having set market enabler, erase data from market app as well as uninstall market updates
3. reboot device and open market - paid apps should now work
4. (dont know if that one still applies, but i would think it does): you need a credit card registered in the country you set for market enabler - means as much as: if you want to purchase an app using the US market, you need an US credit card
5. PC browser uses the countries market your pc is in, unless you use a VPN (or proxy) to access another market! so if the country you sit in doesnt support paid apps, you can't purchase them from your PC
I live in Brasil, and my 1-click settings at the amazon.com site is using a Brasilian international credit card, so as my brasilian address.
Since i am using my real information, i can't manage to use the Amazons app store at my Kindle fire and on my Xperia Arc.
I've already tried the whole thing if creating a new account, with fake data fetched from fakenamegenerator.com but it does not worked aswell.
Is there any way i can "crack" my appstore app so that it does not check for amazon.com feedback about my account country, or is this impossible ?
I really want to start using the app store from Brasil, let me know if there is anything i can do.
Thanks !

Why don't you try Google Play Store? That way it's easy to manage your apps in both devices.

I do use the play store but:
1. Not all the apps are tagged as compatible to my Kindle fire, forcing me to download the APK from the market and push it into the kindle manually
2. Amazon appstore have some free apps daily or weekly, which the play store does not have.
Are you rooted?
I know you can modify your build.prop to mask as another device to improve app compatibility. I've read that most apps that are said to be incompatible are not.

Yes i am rooted, and changing the build.prop file properties, sometimes help, sometimes dont.
But this is not the thread's question.
I would like to access the amazon app store, from Brasil.
1. Yes, i've tried proxies
2. Yes, i've tried fakenamegenerator.com
Edit: This is a new method, but it also failed to work for me :
http://spimitech.com/guides/access-amazon-apps-market-from-outside-the-us/
I've set the new card, billing adress using a hotel on international drive, and set the new payment method as 1-click.
App still saying that i don't have a US billing Address or Credit Card
None of those worked for me
