Looking for Tapatalk

I keep seeing in the footer of people's messages in this forum that they sent it using the xda mobile app powered by Tapatalk. Well I've spent a long time trying to find this app with no success! I know it's listed in the market but like many apps there, once you select it from the search results, it says it cannot find it. Is it restricted to people outside the UK maybe? Is there anywhere else I can download it from and is it really worth having?
Thanks for any help.

What you are looking for is the 'XDA-Developers' App in the Market.

Great, I finally have it. Thanks for your help. I don't think much of the search in the market as it didn't even find it when searching on xda!

I was looking for the same thing last night (eventually found the XDA specific version), but I did find out that the reason the full version doesn't appear is because Google haven't authorized the Desire ROM as "legitimate" yet. This means that any apps that the developers flags as copy protected won't show up, such as Tapatalk, ShapeWriter and a bunch of others.
They did the same thing with the Hero when it was first released and took them some time to fix it. Unfortunately the ball is in Google's court so there's nothing we can do but wait. :-/

That's quite frustrating but it's nice to know the reason for it anyway.

anyone got a link to tapatalk?

like the posts above say, search the market for XDA-developers.....

is that xda forum specific? is there a taptalk application that can be used with other forums?

it's not XDA specific.
For some hard to understand reason though, the generic TapaTalk is not available on the market (tried with both Desire and Liquid, hence android 2.1 and 1.6).
I solved by "finding" it from other sources, sources I obviously cannot link here

Does someone have archives of older versions of the XDA tapatalk app? I just updated to 1.3.2 (and I don't remember what version I was running previously) and it runs extremely slowly on my G1. I'd like to go back to an older version. Maybe 1.3.0, maybe older, dunno yet.

I can find the tapatalk just fine in market. It's a paid app.

i had that same problem but solved it by uninstalling google maps then installing it from the market

I installed it without any problems. If you have issues installing the 4.4.0 update, first uninstall Google Maps and then install it from the Market application.

Installed just fine for me on my Desire using the update option from the market.

yeah same here no issues but in order for places to showup in programs u need to restart.

I noticed lattitude has also made an appearance on the menu too.
I think they need to update the Places app though. By clicking on "Gas Stations", i am given results for companies that sell bottled gas, not petrol or diesel. By clicking on ATMs, i am given a recovery company 20 miles from me, not cash machines.

I had no problems installing on Froyo/Sense MCR6.

Dave

Why I don't see the Places app?
Where to get it?
I updated the Maps to 4. 4. 0...

Turn the phone off and on again then check the menu and "Places" will be listed in with the rest of your apps.

Speed up Market Place and Paid Apps Tab

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

attached to the bottom of my first post

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 did, LeeDroid 1.6 ROM. It is fast but I honestly don't remember if old market was slow, sorry. But I don't see Paid Apps Tab.

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

Are you in UK? I had a similar problem. It's because the locale on the update is set to U.S.
Download morelocale2 from market and set your desire to the right country

Another thing to try is to delete the market app cache. Helped me.

Hmmm.. Thanks for the help but both suggestions have not solved the problem, still can't find itv player etc... Any more ideas?

Did you tried to access market via browser?
For example when I try to search for "google+" via market it is not appeared in list, but via browser it is appearing and on install stage told me that: "This application is incompatible with your HTC Desire" .I live in Bulgaria and it is not marked for distribution in my region. Just try to access market via browser to look what is yours situation.

All apps are being searched for using market, but i have located itv player using Google and some search terms and downloaded using mega upload. But it's definitely an issue with this phone as my colleagues find it using sensation

Last version of google maps issue

Last version of google maps keep loosing gps lock, after 2-3 minutes gps connection dropping.. When trying another navigation system, everything is fine.. Anyone has a same? Thanks
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium

Yep same here, thought I was going mad.tried another app and no fix issues, so must be google. Was considering a reinstall off the app but haven't got round too it yet.

What Rom are you using? Google navigation doesn't work on AOSP roms. It's something to do with how information is sent from the GPS to the software. HTC fixed this somehow with sense. But as yet Cyanogen and derivatives haven't. It's what's keeping me using sense based roms for now. :s

The only info ive been able to find has come from this page HERE
Its not just MIUI thats affected, its all AOSP roms. As i said earlier HTC have fixed it with sense, but they arent sharing
Try a sense rom and you'll see what i mean
I cant for the life of me work out which files i need to pull from sense for the fix.
There's a fix mentioned over in the Inspire forums HERE but i couldnt get it to work. It has something to do with "gps.spade.so" at least thats the file thats been mentioned mostly.

Too bad, love my miui rom.. Thanks a lot for respond

I'm on black ice, never seen this before and used to use CM 7.1 and MIUI on my old desire without flaw. perhaps installing an older version of google maps maybe a work around?

I'll try to find older version of google maps.. Thanks..
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium

Found the answer on the CM forums (sorry can't find the link) the problem seems to be related to the AGPS data on the phone. Download GPS test from the market and in settings clear AGPS. Start google nav and everything should be ok...
This worked for me, hopefully the same will apply for you
