So I love the idea behind AppBrain and now Android Market (on pc) but I can't get either to work with my phone. Both sync my apps to their website but neither will install the apps I choose onto my phone. Android Market shows the app as installed and adds it to the list while AppBrain says "...error sending the app to the phone..."
I thought it was first the program but now I'm wondering if it's a phone setting I need to change. I have installed and turned on Fast Web Installer and I have made sure I am logged into Google Voice but nothing has helped. I searched around but all other similar problems look like they were solved with an update a while back. Any ideas?
I have a Droid 1 running CynogenMod v6.1.2 with P3Droid kernel LV1.2
Google did some sneaky stuff in the 2.2 android update that disabled the AppBrain Fast Web Installer. The latest version of AppBrain is supposed to have the feature back, but I haven't got it to work either. If you turn off fast Web Install you can brows and create install lists on the AppBrain website and then just click the "INSTALL" button a few times in the app. This makes it easier than browsing the market on your phone, but is still not perfect. I'm just waiting for AppBrain to fix the latest fix so it actually works again. It used to work so well
AppBrain Fast Web Installer is not working on my phone either.
Just to add to previous poster reply as it took me a few minutes to find how to disable Fast Web Installer (i tried uninstalling the application and searched on AppBrain site without success): you have to go into AppBrain app in Preferences/Disable Fast Web Install.
As for Android Market it's woking fine. I haven't changed any setting to get it to work.

Your pc is behind a router?
typically, i keep a set of the latest apks i use in a file, and they include all the google apps. I do this because when i flash, that way i don't have to download all the google apps over the air since service in Maui is awful. also, it is easier to send someone who doesn't know how to update their phone one file to flash rather than several.
however, recently Google Voice doesn't seem to want to be recognized when it is moved to /system/app, and when it is there it doesn't work at all even if you reinstall it. it won't show up in the app drawer until it is reinstalled, and after that, it will open but won't download any messages.
any thoughts anyone? did the fix_permissions through ROM manager and fix uid mismatches through Amon, and checked /data/system/packages.xml, and it all looks good but won't work.
ideas?
I just wanted to check in to see what people have tried.
I successfully sideloaded and installed Gmail but it crashes immediately. Either it crashes or it gets blocked.
By the way I also tried to use launcherpro and that too is unable to start.

- already two running topics about this in dev.
Intermittently when installing apps from the market I get the above error. I've tried clearing the cache and re-installing the app. Neither has any effect. Anyone get the market to work predictably on the kindle fire? I'm using the app from the guide that calls for vending.apk
Uninstall vending.apk and use the one that ends in amarket.apk instead.
That causes the market to crash every time I try and launch it.

Strange, it works fine for me. I've never used the vending.apk always used the com.amarket.apk
Did you try clearing the storage or deleting vending one first? If that doesn't help, then I have no clue. I have no issues with the market with that APK.
Did you push it to the /system/app folder before installing?
I have it working perfectly, thus far. Cn you list apps that are failing so I can try it?

Ok, I uninstalled the market app and cleared the card. I re-downloaded and re-sideloaded everything. I have the market. I can click install but the apps I want to install are stalling at "starting download". I'm on wifi, I can access the web fine.
Apps that won't install.
Google Music
Retro Clock
OTA rootkeeper
I just installed Google Music without error. Did you install the market from the system/app folder?

I have the same problem. I installed the vending.apk in systems/app ensured all the permissions are correct (when they weren't market would insta-crash) so I re-installed, corrected permissions and it loaded but now whenever I try and download it hangs on, "Waiting for download to start"
Also if I search for say, "Official Twitter App" it will bring up the first 15/20 or so options covering 2/3's of the screen of 15,000 or whatever but there's no option to see more.
Is that normal? I've never used Android before.
Apps I've tried to download,
Busybox
Twitter
OpenVPN Installer
OpenVPN Settings
(BTW until there's a tun.ko don't bother with VPN...)
I had this problems too, i tried 10 diffrent versions of the market.
The solution was to clear cache and data from the "Download Manager" app. I also cleared cache and data from all google apps, but i think the download manager was the main problem.
Thanks for the tip to clear the download app data but didn't work for me...
I'll have a go with the other suggested apk tomorrow.
Problem Solved! / Solution? Not really.
I've got it working.
I have two different vending.apk files. I didn't hash them to see if they're exactly the same but they have the same size to the byte. One installed the phone market version and the other installed the tablet market version. The tablet version not only looks slicker but it crashed exactly once and after I restarted the device it's worked flawlessly as far as I can tell. Installed many nice apps.
My initial thought is that I missed a step in the process early on, serves me right being a script kiddie type and just following the steps instead of understanding why each step is taken. I think I've learned a lot about how security works in android from this experience.
Also, google reader on the kindle fire rocks. Get the articles to fill the screen and you can page through them like the best magazine ever written.
I got Market working by integrating it into the ROM through Titanium Backup. It seemed to be the only way I got it to work.
I have a problem with Google Chrome and I'm currently on CROMI 3.3 atm. I remembered I uninstalled Google Chrome once before and recently I just wanted to add it back so I could make use of ease with that nice Google account syncing with other synced devices. I tried installing from Play Store, and i got an error code -24. I couldn't find any information on that, so I tried doing 3rd party app installer and even tried using airdroid to do an install from my PC. Both of which could not even install as well.
I can only remember that Chrome was installed as a system app before, but I never did so. The only thing that acknowledges Chrome's existence on my tablet is Titanium Backup. There's a strikethrough line for com.android.chrome, but it doesn't give me any other option to do anything with it. No backup, freezing, or uninstall. Oddly enough, I don't know how I don't have a backup for the apk either.
The point is I'm trying to make here is, should I reflash the previous CROMI that did install Chrome with its package? I was on 3.2 before coming straight to 3.3. Is it safe to do that?
The one other thing I'm hoping would work is ask someone on here for their Chrome backup and restore it through Titanium. It's a chance that it would probably work, but I would like some thoughts on that.
Any help is appreciated, thanks... ~__~
