Well, I've turned on my Desire this morning, and performed the daily search for the Paypal app. There it is.
Tapatalk, and all the rest of the protected apps are now available on the generic ROM it seems!
Great news!
EDIT - All except Google Earth it seems.
I can see those two, but not Google Earth?
T-Mobile here.
I also see the applications you mention, but I still only see free apps?

I did actually, but missed it somehow.
Anyway, it's still news to some, obviously.
No worries, as the OP in the other thread I can understand how excited you were!
Seems to be a lot of demand for Google Earth. I've attached it if you guys want it.
But yes, Its not on the market on Vodafone either. Sounds like it might of been pulled altogether
KYI
Cheers for Google Earth!
Thx for the upload. Needs 23 mb rom lol. Root plz...
Oh come on, no paypal app for me in the market, strange
Argh, I cannot see the Paypal app!
I have an unbranded/unlocked Desire with the latest stock ROM (1.15.405.4) and I've set my locale to "English (United States)" with MoreLocale2. (doesn't work either with the "English (France)" settings)
UK Desire on T-Mobile, branded- have access to protected apps - and can see paypal app on market
I tried the install from #7 but I get 'there is a problem parsing the package'.
I have Google Earth, I always did have Google Earth.
Infact it was one of the first apps I installed on 27/03, I only just got protected apps today (I knew because I downloaded a copy of Abduction World Attack off the internet (it is an app I purchaed) and today I got prompted there was an update (it wasn't in my market before))
Edit: Just to add, I did also once have to do a reset and was able to redownload earth from the market again.
Most apps are showing up now in the market for me. Still can't see Google Earth though.
Here is some interesting news re "Market"

now we have "protected" apps, can anyone suggest some ones we're missing out on?
I made a search but couldn't find a similar topic on xda or Google. I started using latitude today via Google maps but noticed that I don't a widget called "Latitude" on my desire.
Any idea why this is the case ? It should present, right ?
I don't know if there is a specific latitude widget (I haven't found one), but if you go into (google) maps and press the menu button, you get an option for latitude.....
Hope this helps

Yes I am using that, but there is also latitude widget. I found out that the widget comes with the new google maps (v 4.1), however in my country the application is not present in market section due to the licencing ang legal stuff (according to an announcement by google). Which is very odd because I am using google maps w/o problem, workes flawlessy. why can't I update it, beats me ?
I need to find free app maps 4.1 and install it. Hopefully thw widget will come.

Go hit up market and get it!
Love it!
Anyone know of a way to take advantage of caching? I'd like to store my whole region for off-line (SDcard) use.

how do we see 3d buildings or suppose to be automatic if available?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
3d buildings are automatic if they are available. You just have to zoom in real far. I didn't see them on the Boston map but they are on the New York map.

Is anyone with Desire Z able to get the update? Google Maps was preinstalled, so it doesn't auto-update or show in the Market app. Also, when I try to search it on Market, I can't find it.
I updated my desire z today using mobile data. The app was in the new app store showing the update tab. Working great and faster than before, even while using on mobile data.
Any lone know if there is a way to precache maps as a whole. Id like to get my whoe county but it only seems to cache what i look at at the time.

Go to androidpolice.com, find maps post on front page, scan QR code.
(Not affiliated with androidpolice in any way. I just happened to find out about the new Maps over there first and the QR worked for me...)
Thanks! Tried that, and also on other websites with barcode for Google Maps, but I always get the message (after I go to the link) - "The requested item could not be found".
I wonder why Google Maps is forbidden from installing to my Desire Z, or even showing up in Market?
APK that works on my phone, since there's no other way to install Google Maps, is in this thread:

Hi guys,
let me start of with saying i don't know where this thread belongs, since it's not sgn2 related, but more of a general android question.
Okay, my ' problem' : I'm going to be in south africa for a few weeks in december, i want to use my gps to know where i'm going, but i don't want all the roaming costs from loading the map itself. Is there any way to store a big part of the map or location offline on our device? Or is there an app that doesn't need roaming and already has the map itself?
Thanks in advance,
Kain
A few apps should have this feature but I don't have any name in mind...
However I know that Google Maps allow you to use maps offline: Google support
Google Maps allows it in a limited way
Google maps actually allow us to locally store an small area as offline, but its not gonna be sufficient to u, try to use some offline maps like Sygic or so,
Maybe u can try Mapswithme?

I actually used Google Maps to track myself with GPS during my trip to South Africa. You need internet to do a search for a place or get directions (hotel/coffeeshop WiFi will do), but if you think you know where the place is on the map (the maps still include the labels) you can zoom in to view the label (in otherwords, you have to do a manual search for things without an internet connection)
.
Offline maps are great for hikes (or safaris, in South Africa ) to help you know how far you are from a road or landmark. Use the 'distance ruler' function. From my experience, a surprising number of trails, world-wide, are well mapped-out.
I still do offline maps, today, because I didn't upgrade to the new Google Maps (the reviews were terrible), but you may have to search to find and download the old Google Maps.
Maps with me pro
I use it and recomend

Thanks! ive tried google maps storage, works fine like described. Hopefully I can get some free wifi!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Sygic with worldwide maps on the device is an option too.
I most be missing something but there are all kinds of offline map programs. Sygic, Copilot (there is a free version), Navigon, Maverick is more offroad but can be used to find your way around. Locus is another it also has a free version.There are dozens more. Look on Play store.
I use navfree. Careful with Google maps. I believe it deletes map data after two weeks. Thought I read that somewhere.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
+1 for Navfree. Don't forget that you need to download your maps via the app before you leave.
No harm in having a few free nav apps at your disposal. They'll all have their own strengths so perhaps you might find yourself using more than one. So maybe download a handful of the free ones.

I have been using Zooper pro forever now and I made the widget shown in this photo a few months ago and it worked fine, all of the data was shown including the current condition and temp, but for some reason or another it just shows "unknown" for the condition and "??" for the temp.
I have done everything I can think of to fix this issue, including changing the weather provider, checking my location settings and making sure they were set to GPS, wifi and cellular data and I've even gone so far as uninstalling and reinstalling Zooper to try to fix this.
Anyone know what would cause this and how to fix it?
Up...i've got same problem
got the same problem, but fixed for me.
I thought its broken, because i really often change and test different Roms.
i changed weather provider in Zooper Settings from yahoo to Yr.no including update weather information and that works on me.
Tried to change back, but yahoo and openweather dont work on me... So now i use Yr.no and it works
Having problems here too for adding a new location. Each time I use the search, it just shows up 'not found' , even the larger cities. Can't seem to get it to work anymore on all of the services, yahoo, open weather nor yr.no. The location I had set up though, seems to work fine.
Does anyone know if this is going to be updated? From my understanding yahoo is not available anymore, but i had been using open weather, which worked just fine for me.
btw - I'm getting a timeout error on openweathermap.org, maybe that has something to do with it?

The only provider that even kind of works for me is yr.no, but when I selected that provider it showed the current condition as "Tornado", so I don't think it's accurate at all.

I found this on the zooper website. It just says to try other weather providers and if that doesn't work to wait for upcoming updates. How long should we wait? The app hasn't been updated in over a year (March 12, 2015)

Strange thing here though. It seems that on my tablet, i can still add new locations. I have no idea why and why not on my phone.
Well, I just upgraded my phone to Android 6.0 and now it's working for the default weather provider. Weird.

Does Zooper need all location methods to be tuned on to work, like GPS, WiFi and Mobile Networks?
I alaways use location: GPS only, because of battery saving, but this can not be done and have Zooper widget working?
For me it looks like I need to use all, but why is this?

The Developers have stopped updates for the app and it is a problem at their end, if you paid for the app, you can request a refund as it is faulty and not what you paid for.
I have recently noticed that when I set location in Zooper widget, only Yr.no works now for weather information. It's not often I choose a widget with weather info and location but today I did. Before I used to use Open Weather map and the weather used to show up fine for the given location. Now it only shows "Unknown" and "??". The same applies for Yahoo!
I'm guessing it's because I'm using a newer phone than previously and it's not supported. Plus the fact that Zooper isn't get updated by the developers.
Problem fixed
Hey,friendss I just solve the problem if u r also facing the issue of weather unknown and temp. ? Then change youe weather provider,i had change it to yr.no and within a second problem had solved .
Except that yr.no is always showing I'm having a tornado lol
Changing the weather provider to yr.no worked for me also. Thanks for pointing it out guys.

Thank you for the OP on this thread - found a solution to my issue by changing provider to yr.no.
Have the same problem & been having this problem 4 a while now... Sucks bc it's made me abandonen zooper all together switching to KWGT... I can also get the weather to show with yr.no BUT it dosent display the correct info. I can also add a location but it dosent save it... it also has some location already in there like India or some **** says it's 89° & sunny right now... I live in Cali & it's about 45° and 45min to 12am... LoL

You are a savior mate! Thanks.
Problem with "Tornado" fixed
Good news guys, I found a solution in German Forum how to replace the Word "Tornado" with actual weather conditions.
All Credits go to this: Guy!
If you want to get rid the word "Tornado" simply edit the Text and adjust the german words in your language (with google translate) and it will show the actual weather conditions!
Sturm=Storm
Regen=Rain....
