Can you find Google Earth in the Market?

UPDATE: this thread is not needed anymore. Everything is working fine now, read this.
I can't find Google Earth in the Market on my Defy.
If you can, please post here your build.prop, ROM, firmware, and all the info you can gather. If you don't know how to do this, you can ask here or PM me and I'll help.
I am asking this because I suspect there is a problem on the Google's side validating Defy's fingerprints, and with enough info from somebody that can find and download Google Earth from the Market, we could fix it

When i had the 2.34 blurless rom with the JIT update, i could'nt find that app;
but now with the chinese 2.2 froyo i've installed google earth in the defy through the market.

I think the problem came with the market update. When you go to settings-applications-market and you uninstall the update you will see google earth again and other apps that are missing after the market update like vplayer. The problem will be back after the market is updated again automatically.

Nope. I uninstalled several times the update, searched with the old Market, and Google Earth didn't come up.
@ellendel, can you post your build.prop? It's located in /system/build.prop and you will need root.

I was unable to find google earth with the stock Android 2.1 US ROM and the updated market. Installed the 2.34 Central European ROM (still android 2.1) and was able to find google earth in the updated market(downloading it now).

Interesting. I have Google Earth on my phone and runs great (T-MO USA Defy). But I can no longer find it on the market and it's no longer listed under my installed apps.

That's the ROM that I have, and I can't find it, it's very strange.

Maybe you can open it with Root Explorer and copy/paste it? Or upload it with the Dropbox app to your Public folder and post a link...

Have you tried installing from here:
http://www.google.com/mobile/earth/...-us-bk-earthandroid&utm_term=earth on android

That just redirects to the Market, which says that the requested element can't be found.
Anyway, just to be clear: this problem is not about Google Earth. It's about Google not recognizing Defy's full specifications. There are dozens of other apps that we can't download. I just chose Google Earth because it's supposed to be available everywhere.
If I wanted Google Earth I'd just download the APK somewhere else.

I wonder when and why it changed? I can't find it in the Market either, but I do have it installed already. I downloaded right after I bought the phone in Nov.

Try something. Go to Settings > Applications. Find Market and clean data and uninstall updates. Try searching Google Earth in the Market now.
Don't worry, minutes later the Market will be updated again to the current version.

Found this on another site, not sure if still works:
view the below link thru mobile browser.. it will automatically starts to download and install...
http://sites.google.com/site/droidlife10/home/google_earth.apk
Actually just tried it on my computer and it gave me: google_earth.apk

Well, thank you. But read my other post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10650634&postcount=11
It's not about Google Earth, it's about why some apps are not in the Market.

Sorry, got lost on the journey. When I first got the G1 there was nothing on the market but a hundred different fart apps. (Yes, exaggeration). But I really did stop relying on the market and honestly can't recall where I got Earth as it does not show up as a market download.

Can you find Rocket Bunnies or Jet Car Stunts? Those don't appear for me, either.

Earth, Rocket Bunnies, and Jet Car Stunts now shows in the Market. I think it need to be updated (the Market that is). I happened to catch Lookout "Scanning Market", and I thought "Hm why?". As I looked up the Market in Applications I noticed the version was higher than the day before (I read around there was a new version, so I checked mine), so I looked up the apps that I couldn't find before, and boom, there they are.

You're right!
Market just updated from version 2002207 to 2002211 and Google Earth, Rocket Bunnies and Jet Car Stunts are appearing!
If somebody doesn't get the update: go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications. Uninstall Market updates and clear its data. Then enter the Market, close it, and a minute later you should have the new version.
Wheee!

I just checked its up now under free apps.

I reverted to old market since new market was very laggy on my EDGE network.I cant even migrate to 3G because in my country, 3G oprates at 2100Mhz band which has very poor indoor penetration,so its not worth paying premium price for 3G

Good.
blockbuster 2.4

not worried at all just an observation

The scrolling seems very laggy, also it looks like google is trying to save on the amount of ram the app uses by constantly loading and unloading images which really sucks.
The market would be so much smoother if it just loaded all tabs at once and cached the images

you can find it.works fine.google it

I had installed the Google Car Home in the Thunderbolt previously using Root Explorer. Wonder why it says that though on a Google phone?
But thanks. I'm assuming I would use the same install method on this as I did the T-Bolt...

I prefer CarHome Ultra, https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsInNwaW5uaW5naGVhZC5jYXJob21lIl0.
It's not free, but it's way better, imo.

Try this, flash the car home apk then the launcher apk, let me know.

Just found that CarHome Ultra right before you posted it. It's a trial? Didn't see where it asks you to pay for it. Looks nice though.
Thanks for the heads up.

This is a very nice app. I don't understand why Google doesn't update their own apps with there OS.

If anyone wants Google Car Home with a stock phone, unlocked, unrooted, unanything I've gotten it working through this method:
Google Car Home on the Galaxy Nexus.
How I did it:
Follow the instructions here:
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/02/0...m-the-market-on-the-verizon-lte-galaxy-nexus/
Just type 'Google Car Home' whenever it refers to Google Wallet.
The app will install, but then give you a message that it's not compatible. You will not see it in your apps - however if you go to settings-->apps it's in the list - there is just no icon available.
So there is a final step, install this app:
https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5ldC5jd2ZrLmlnODguY2FybW9kZSJd
All this app does is give you a toggle to launch the default car home app. If you have more than one installed, it will as which you want to use.
I've used Google Car Home on my Verizon Nexus today and it works great. I've also changed the colors now so they match 'ICS blue'.
Will see if I can attach the image:

Waou it works perfectly...
Thank you so much... i've been looking for a way to install car home on my GNexus non rooted for age, and finally i have it, thanks to you.
I was stuck at first, cause i wasn't going on the car home page but stayed on the search results page (where you can actually clic install directly) and the market did the same and it didn't work... but then i did it properly and it's perfect.
I've downloaded apk from xda also, and it allowed me to have the exact same icon than the original (and not the car mode icon).
Anyway, works flawlessly.

Where did you find the APK? I've tried this method but I couldn't get it to work...

Just to say thanks to Mcdeadagain - finding a launcher was my issue.
apk can be found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569027

[APP] GooglePlay 3.9.16 Remove Entries From All Apps and more!!

Google Play Store 3.9.16 - Remove Entries From All Apps, Keep Track Of Position In Lists, Expandable Notifications, And More
Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Apps/Games, News
​
Google just started rolling out an updated Google Play Store version 3.9.16 that follows the previous version 3.8.17 from August. Good news, everyone - we've already got our hands on the APK for you to install manually thanks to our loyal tipsters.
What's New
The most notable and immediately apparent new feature is the long overdue ability to remove apps you've previously downloaded from the All Apps list. If you like to try a lot of apps, that list is likely very cluttered. With the new Google Play, you can trim it to your heart's content.
Update #1: You can multi-select by long-pressing any app in the list and then tapping more apps, then delete them all in one go (added 2 new screenshots demonstrating it).
Update #2: The new Play Store now keeps track of your location in lists, including My Apps and All Apps, so when you click into an app and back, it drops you into the same spot. I had variable luck with this, and it didn't seem to work in All Apps at first, but I just reproduced it on both the EVO LTE and the Nexus 7. Brilliant.
Update #3: The notification icon that shows up when you have app updates has changed, and notifications are now expandable. I've added more screenshots showing the differences.
Update #4: The notification icon after installing an app now shows the app icon instead of something generic.
The size of the Play Store APK actually went down, so Google must have trimmed some extra fat. We're still digging through everything - in the meantime, check out the screenshots and grab the new version from our mirrors.

Download​
We verified the APK as legitimate and signed by Google, so have no fear. Just download it to your device and install as you would any other APK - it'll prompt to update your current Play Store.

for me it works (4.0.4)
have you done it as described ?
long press on first app, so it´s marked, then short press on further apps

works for me im on SGS II GT-I9100 on CM 10-20121011-NIGHTLY-i9100

Works for me too on SlimBean 2.6

About time they started doing something about that list, but ...
Google need to implement features to be able to sort lists, especially that All Apps list. In the past it used to be sorted by the date the app was last installed, but now it is on the date when the app was first ever installed on the account, which is annoying.
Sometimes when I do a full wipe, I like to do fresh isntalls of all my apps, and the All Apps used to be ready handy for that as all my recently installed apps (and most requently used) will be at the top and all the apps that I installed and removed and never used again would be at the bottom. Now its just a pain trying to scroll through that entire list. An option to sort it how I like would be priceless.

On the toggles drag them all the way left, at the very end there's an edit toggle that will take you to the customization screen thing.

It is bizarre. I can access Google Play, find an app, and attempt to download, except that the app never downloads. I get an error 495. I've googled that error and I've cleaned data and cache from Google Play and Google Framework. I've also removed my Google email address from Accounts, cleared it all again, then added my email again. No joy. Seems there are a small number of people with that problem. It's very frustrating with my brand new phone.

Try downloading an app from your browser and not the Play Store app. This has got mine working in the past when nothing else worked.

Sounds like switching Roms might solve that problem. Are you on the stock Rom? Here's the one I'm using, there are only two for now and they are both leaps and bounds better than stock. Additionally, it may be a problem with an older iteration that rom if you are using a custom one
