Hey guys, I'm kind of at a loss here. I bought ROM Manager Premium on 9/2 and shortly after I bought it I lost my phone and was shipped a new one. The problem is that I can't reinstall ROM Manager Premium even though the purchase is listed in my "Google Checkout" list and the first google account I set up on my phone was the account associated with this purchase. I've sent several messages to Koushik (December 30th, January 7th and January 17th -- I'm not spamming him or anything) but have not heard anything back from him.
Does anyone know of another way to regain the features I've already paid for? It is a great app, and well worth the price, but I can't afford to buy it each time I wipe or replace my phone. Somehow the market is broken.
Thanks in advance!
Have you dowloaded both the premium license and the free application from the market? The premium license is just a key, you still need the application to get the features.
Hey John, I don't have an option to download the license. In the market I only see Rom Manaer and Rom Manager Premium. If I select Premium it tries to bill me $5 again.
Download free version and install from market, download the rom manager file from your gmail and install that, the one in your gmail is the licensing file to upgrade the free version to full version.
You would have received more help regarding this if you posted in Q&A
If you are certain you used the same google account both times, it is a google issue not a developer issue. I don't know how to contact the people responsible for the market, but google does have an extensive help site. A quick search yeiled this article with a few items to try: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=0da4dcf702dbb2d2&hl=en
Are you logged into google talk with the same google account? For some reason there is a link between the Accounts, Market, and Talk...
If that does not work, IDK... I've never had an issue with the purchased apps repopulating...

IMO I think it is appropriate to ask a question about the market which is an app and a purchased app in a forumn titled "Themes and Apps."

Seems to me that Q&A would be more suited to something like "What is rom manager?" than a problem I'm having with the apps market and rom manager but to each their own...
Unfortunately I don't have the email with the file any more and there is no option to resend it.
Had this issue recently and was frustrating so wanted to post it for people to see/search in in the future.
Market downloads failed instantly, including paid apps - would send from the android web market though...
also music beta when trying to download songs to keep offline they would fail also.
solution: check music beta online and make sure you have enough space to authorize an account - if you have 8/9 and the phone can't authorize it seems to mess with android market too....
thanks
Give the thread a better title. Otherwise it send to be question and not a solution.
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
Figure this may be useful as the stock music player installed on the Galaxy Nexus is all setup ready for the cloud based goodness of Google Music, but it's a service supposedly only available in the US at the moment.
To work around that, try the following (worked for me, YMMV):
Download the appropriate version of Tor Browser bundle for your platform from:
https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en
Install, load up the Vidalia control panel and click "Settings"
Navigate to the advanced section, click "Edit current torrc"
Paste the following into the bottom of the torrc file:
ExcludeNodes {be},{pl},{ca},{za},{vn},{uz},{ua},{tw},{tr},{th},{sk},{sg},{se},{sd},{sa},{ru},{ro},{pt},{ph},{pa},{nz},{np},{no},{my},{mx},{md},{lv},{lu},{kr},{jp},{it},{ir},{il},{ie},{id},{hr},{hk},{gr},{gi},{gb},{fi},{es},{ee},{dk},{cz},{cy},{cr},{co},{cn},{cl},{ci},{ch},{by},{br},{bg},{au},{at},{ar},{aq},{ao},{ae},{nl},{de},{fr}
(This will force Tor to use a US exit node)
Save the settings, restart Tor.
In the Tor tunneled Firefox that's now running, visit:
http://music.google.com
If you get an error about it only being available in the US, go back to the Tor Vidalia control panel and click the "Use a new identity" button (to pick a new exit node) and refresh the page. Repeat until you get a Google music login box.
Try signing in with your existing Google account - this worked fine for me but there seem to be conflicting reports about whether it works in all cases for non-US accounts.
If not, you may have to setup a new GMail account solely for Google Music use. Be sure to create the account using the Tor tunneled Firefox so that Google think you're in the US when you sign up.
Once you've logged in to Google Music once and accepted the T&Cs (maybe grab the dire Busta Rhymes freebie track to check its all working) you can ditch Tor - Google Music will quite happily now let you access and upload music from the UK.
Load up the Music Player, link the newly Google Music enabled account to it, enjoy.
thanks
streaming on my device is quite nice, but i have to wait until the song is fully loaded to start it (in Music-app)... little bit annoying
A much easier way to do it is just use a proxy website (like those ones to get around school/work firewalls). The majority are based in the US.
I used the first link that came up on a Google search to sign up for Google Music back around the time it launched. Less hassle than downloading software etc.
The only real problem is that you can't access the store, which means you can't get any of the free music or buy anything.
You still get the syncing and upload abilities though, which is quite nice. I just need to sort out my music collection now before I upload it
I know that's probably a bit stupid but I can't install the app from the market. It downloads correctly but when it wants to install the app it says it isn't signed properly or so. Is this because it isn't developed for the desire? I would like to use it until my nexus arrives.

You need to uninstall any previous versions and also make sure you clear data under application settings

Found an interesting thread about it.

I keep getting an 'error at line 1' message when I click on OK. Even without entering any extra text I also get it
The 'error at line x' is something to do with Windows 7 (possibly x64) editing the torrc file. Had the same issue...
Easiest fix is to go to the Tor folder/data/tor/ then open 'torrc' with Notepad manually. Edit the file by hand, save and restart Tor and it'll accept the changes fine.
I used TunnelBear on my PC to trick Google into thinking I Was in the USA, then accessed Google Music over the internet and registered for the service.
Then on my phone, I downloaded the Music APK from this XDA page and installed it on my phone.
Works fine for me for playing music on my phone and music off my computer which has been uploaded to the cloud.
Play still won't give you access to the music section though as it's not licensed still for UK use.
lol. what's the problem: i'm using music beta since last november here in germany even though its not even released here.
Hmm, used Tor and got my account linked to Google Music. I'm now uploading an album just fine, but when I try to use the Music Manager to listen to the songs, it still says it's only available in the US.
Anyone have a moded Milk music app? One that allows you to play explicit music without logging into samsung account .
Running latest but keep getting bugged to sign in.
Had a version that I had found somewhere here that ran with no prompt to sign in , but can't find it.
Lost it after factory wipe.
Edit: Basically I was running Milk music without any Samsung acct or apps installed on S4, I had debloated my phone of all Samsung apps widgets and accounts, and somehow the Milk music worked fine. Now after reinstall I keep getting requests to "Log in for explicit content".
NO NO NO , don't want to log in.
just want to hear my kind of music with all the naughty bits intact.
Looked all over Google but no luck .
Pp.
Was kind of working without login, but now it stopped working ,says it can't log into account ?
Having trouble finding the original one that was posted here. That version worked fine .
Pp.
This is it.
NOTE: I have tentatively cleared this with the moderators. MODS: If any legal question is raised feel free to erase the contents of this post.
This is a modified version of Samsung Milk with references to the Samsung Account services removed. It is also modified to install and work on any device, not just the Samsung ones. You WILL need to uninstall any versions of Milk that you have already installed if you want to use this application.
Download v1.0.176956: Milk

Where is the link to download the app? Please disregard, I was able to locate it

Hello,
First let me say sorry if this is the wrong forum for the question, or if it has been asked. I have searched myself into a headache looking for the answer as well as other information before I update my phone to be able to use Google Play.
My question is this... To install Google Play on the Fire Phone you need .apk files: Account Manager, Framework, Services, Store. Well I've seen quite a few places to get these files online. But where do those sites get them? I'm assuming it can't be downloaded via browser plugin (apk downloader, etc) from the PC Google Play store itself, since it's the app that installs other apps.
I'm paranoid and would like to get those four files myself, so I know its safe - if its possible. Any idea how/where?
The answer is probably staring me in the face, but I don't see it.
My guess is that some phones can capture the files as they download from Google updates and turn them into apk form. But I'm not sure... If there is a way to get them myself I'd like to know - if not, what is the safest place to get them?
Thanks!

Well getting here would be a good start. If not like you said in your post go to Google Play store and use the APK plug in or one of the Web sites that do the same.

Just wanted to say again.
If you want to get the .APK files to install the Google Play store 100% safe ask a buddy to use ES File Manager to back them up for you. Just go into system files and find them, and select backup. Or if you are like me and have an old android phone, back them up yourself - worked like a charm - no issues.
Thanks again.
