How to get Android Market on my device ? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I have an Android 2.1 device which does not contain any Google apps. I want to add the Market to it so I can enjoy new apps.
is there any simple way to do this ?

What device? You could easily flash google apps.

I tried to flash google apps, but when connecting to the market it keeps saying that I have an unreliable connection. Have tried over and over again, but no connection to the Market.

Search the forum for the market apk. There are several threads that have the apk in attachment.

[Q] Can't see Google Maps in the market after install MIUI

Hello all,
I've installed this miui-milestone-1.1.7EngFullv1.0.zip on my milestone (a853), everything looks good and much faster. I tried to download Google Maps from the market, but it doesn't show and when I'm trying direct links I'm getting "resource not found" messages. I can download other apps from the market. Is it something with the android id? During the installation I configured to use random one.
Is it known issue, or something I did wrong?
Thanks for any help!

AppBrain and Android Market (on PC) issues, no phone install

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.

how to install google map..

i just flash CM7 and gapps..but i cant have google maps..i search at market...cant be download also..
please help me...where i can get google map??
i simply type in google map in Android Market
then click install

maybe you just need to install Android Market spoof app, to make it think it is in USA
Get the gapps.zip from CM wiki... it'll contain the market (or get the market.apk itself).

i already flash gapps...i already have market..when i search google map at market...it is not available...
In Malaysia, updates to google maps are not available for some ****ed up reason. It is very frustrating how google shuns markets outside the US. I have no idea why we dont have Google+, Blogger, Chrometophone (the list goes on)
However a workaround(bug) to this is just to wait for another update to come along in your android market. When this happens, there will be an option to update ALL apps. Choose this one and google maps will update and install as well. Just be patient, or download an app that gets updates frequently

Ever thought about it's not Google mocking you but the government restricting the market in MY to get certain apps?
Especially those apps you mentioned leave an impression that tools enabling quick sharing of opinions are blocked.
Market enabler? Tried that? Fake one of the US providers and try searching again. If not, google that .apk and install it manually...

How to download android applications

Does anyone know how to go about downloading applications for android without having to connect the receiving device to the internet?
I need to be able to download applications on a computer and transfer them via SD card to the device that they will run on. The device that will run the apps will NOT be connected to the net.
Suggestions?
Download from somewhere other than Google Play. Or try reverse tethering
well at least your computer has to have an internet connection and you can download from other forum sites etc..
if not you should get .apk files (android application files) from your friend or something..
Using Google Play Store

-.-
The play store needs internet on the phone
So it seems that if I wanted to have a device (tablet) with absolutely no internet connection the only way I would be able to load applications from say Google Play is I would have to download the application and install it on another internet connected device and grab the APK off of that device and sneakernet it to the tablet with no connection.
Google Play does not seem to offer any way to download apps except if the developer offers the apk on their own website.

[Q] 403 Play Store Error

Hey all!
I have been reading about that 403 Play Store error that pops up every time you are trying to download an application but I didn't manage to find a solution yet. I didn't wanna also bump old threads that have written about this issue,because most of the stuff mentioned there I have already tried them...I am an owner of a Huawei Ascend Y300 and am trying to download apps from my home network wifi.
So here's what I have done..Since I first experienced it I tried to clear my play store cache in settings,forced stop/clear data in google service framework while all these were done under airplane mode just in case. I also tried to clear my google accounts,try entering alternatives google details (total of 3 accounts with my main one) and none of them managed to download any apps while i was logged in with it in play store. I have also checked my APN settings and my proxy server is at "Not Set". Also tried to clear search history in Play Store just in case again there's an issue. I read also in various threads/sites that this begins after you purchase a paid app from the store? I never bought something, I haven't even linked my card details with it. I wasn't able to download any app from my pc too as well. In the end I desperately proceeded for a factory data reset and I lost all remaining apps I had already installed and the error would would still be there saying hi to me every morning..
Any suggestions on that matter,cause I am reading various stuff,tried everything I read and I nothing so far.
Thanks in advance

Are you rooted? It sounds like your ROM maybe could have had a bad file. I'd re-download the ROM, check the md5 hash, install ROM and try from there. If all else fails, you could try installing Market Unlocker and changing from one market, then back to another.
I believe that the Freedom app can also cause errors like this, so if you have ever used that, this is also a possibility. If you have used Freedom, reinstall it, click start service, then stop it, then uninstall.
Force stop, Clear data and cache for :
-Google Play Store,
-Google Service Framework
-Download Manager
be sure that those services are not inactive!

No I am not rooted. I haven't tried rooting any phones I had although I was thinking doing that soon enough to my current one just to experiment myself with it. Should I root my phone and try troubleshooting that way? I don't know what doors open in front of me with this though and if I will solve anything, so any suggestions are welcome
