I have my rooted E4GT, 210 screen density, so I have a hacked play market in place so I can find more apps.
But I still can't find certain ones. Tumblr and Dolphin HD are a couple. I found their apks online, installed just fine, looks just fine.
So why is it my hacked play market isn't doing it's job?
Are there any hacked play markets that you wonderful xda peoples would suggest?

I think you can modify your hosts file to bypass the sprint proxy that might be blocking things but someone much smarter than me would have to explain how.
I know there was a app called market enabler that did this but I'm not sure if it's still around. I'm sure something similar if you do some searching would turn up. Good luck.

Bump. I still need a fix for this.
You might find a better answer in the hacked play market thread.

From the original thread
NOTE: If you are testing a "DPI Hacked" version of the Android Market and you are still experiencing incompatibilities with certain applications, see post #92 in this thread for further solutions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25720539&postcount=92
Good luck with it.

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.

A store where u can get apps n themes for rooted htc evo...sorry if this quest. was already asked

There is no seperate "app store" like this for Android. Google allows apps that require root in the Market with everything else.
Just search for "root" on the android market. A bunch of root only apps will come up.
Be extremely careful when downloading apps which require root access on your phone! They can bypass normal app permissions and do all kinds of crazy things to your phone without you knowing.
Themes for Android itself cannot be found in the Market due to the fact that a theme must either be custom-made for your ROM and device, or use something like the T-Mobile/CyanogenMod 7 theme engine. Apps such as ADW do have themes in the Android Market which you can use.
You should also not use third-party Markets, as most Android malware/trojans are spread via such Markets (if not downloaded from pirate sites, of course) which have little to no oversight compared to the Android Market.

applanet is for piracy, not off-market apps. and is not reccomended.
appbrain is just the market in a different form.
android market is the place to be. it is like appstore AND cydia in one place.
use appbrain,
but i always find anything in the built-in market though
note : applanet and blapkmarket is for pirated app!!!

LOLz for some weird reason i have the urge to look for this!!!!
So today I tried installing the zynga app on my galaxy s, but then when I searched for it in the market it wasn't there. I thought something might be wrong with the search and ill just Google it. I saw the link to the android market for zynga poker on google and when I clicked it the web browser closed and took me to the market where it said that the app is not available or something like that. Anyone else facing this problem or did android just take down the app?

nope. i can get it fine.
It's probably not available in your location. I'm in the uk.
Hmmm, so is there anyway I can fake my location ?
Are you running the new JVR? It could be the same issue I had here.
MasterJam882 suggests we give it a week or two and these "missing apps" will reappear in the market searches. I'm inclined to think he is right.
i just get it at getjar website http://www.getjar.com/mobile/50969/...e8qjh42vgsd724v1&c=8zl42o0qoleebfui13&lang=en
surrealjam: Actually I just updated to JVQ so I think that might be the problem. Thanks, I'll be on the lookout for the apps to re-appear.
xizzat: Thanks for the link, I guess that'll have to do for now .
I've seen that certain apps in the market say that my device is not compatible with the app. I didn't really think twice about it until today I saw that Google maps is one of those apps. This wasn't the case earlier today.
Has anyone else been having this problem?
What do you think the problem is?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Solved - Reason for issue was due to my changing the DPI for enhanced resolution
I'd like some sort of answer to that too, my phone says that maps is compatible, but Youtube isn't. I tried clearing market data and cache on the off chance that something was goofy there, but it didn't help. It even says "incompatible" when I go to the web version of the market from my computer, and won't let me install.

K, i figured out the problem. Its because i changed the DPI in my build.prop in order to get a better resolution. I guess the apps are compatible with the resolution that i set it to, so it just says that its not compatible with my device.

Technically they're mixing old new and conspiracies. Obviously you'll get a virus by installing a weird app but if you have an Android you'd already be smart enough to know what apps are dangerous. Also the permissions the app has are shown when you install an app so you know if an app is actually a virus or something.
I went overboard but whateva

It is an issue, but the scare around it is a bit exaggerated. Basically what could happen is it's technically possible for someone to replace a real app with fake version that your phone would think is the real thing. However, two things would have to happen first. 1) You'd have to get the apk from an untrusted source (there's no evidence it'd be possibly to replace an existing app with a modified one in the Market) and 2) You'd have to agree to the permissions it's requesting (which would generally be expanded ones if it was doing something malicious)
For example:
You have AwesomeGame installed on your phone, and it's awesome. One day, someone sends you a link to an "update" that give you infinite AwesomeBOMBs in-game that points to a website. You go to HAx0RS1TE.com and download AwesomeGame, but a hacked version. You install it and Android still thinks it's the original, so it could have access to any permissions you originally gave AwesomeGame, as well as any new permissions you agreed to when you installed the update from haxorsite. So if AwesomeGame could send SMSs (so share your AwesomeScores with friends), the hacked version could also use SMS to send texts to subscribe you to Cat Facts.
If you get your updates only from the Market, you should be safe, but you should always watch out for apps suddenly requesting large numbers of odd permissions.
