hi,
i have just installed CM7-nightly
CM7 comes without google-apps.
i know i can download them here:
edit: hmpf - i am not (yet) allowed to post links
this way i could install all google-apps for my device.
however, i am quite happy that they are NOT pre-installed, as i don't use them.
the one and only google-app i really need is the market-app
so i downloaded the google-apps.zip for my device and took a look inside the .zip
the .zip contains many .apk's in /system/app folder.
as i want to install *ONLY* the market app so i installed
Vending.apk
MarketUpdater.apk
unfortunataley market app closes after openening it
now my question:
which .apk's do i have to install to get a working market app?
(minimum required .apk's from the google-apps .zip?)
thanks
AFAIK the market app is calles 'vendor.apk'
hi,
yes - but market closes after starting - there must be something missing.
thanks

Have any O3D expert meet an problem when downloading an Apps from market?
I just found an Apps which is a analog clock, I cannot download and install it as it said "This device is not compatible with this item" from market website.
When I search it from market using O3D, the apps is not shown in anywhere!
But I use a Acer Liquid (It's smaller screen, same resolution, Android 2.3), it can display either from market or market web-site!
The analog clock apps:
market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.isao.android.smileshooter_clock_widget01&feature=search_result

Thanks for your reply! May I know which version of O3D you using? I tried 2.3 V21A original FW and many different CFW (acurarom, King, Baxter...) but no help.

I'm using baxter rom from Echts but what I think the real solution is that I have edited the build.prop file with the correct values that LG forgot to include on the v21A update.
You can try to use my patch on this thread and see if that works for you.
Don't mind that the thread is saying that it's for skype. Just try it an let me know.

I modified but no help. I got a hint from that post and flash back to Android 2.2 original FW, it work! The apps from market can be download. Only flash to 2.3 is not compatible.
May I ask a stupid question, your baxter FW is a 2.3(GB)?

Yes it is gingerbread. I had a similar problem and what I did was to reinstall a 2.3 ROM. Then all the apps were working again. I recommend you reinstall a GB ROM after a full wipe and see if that works.

It works! I reinstalled 2.3 ROM. May be the acurarom has some bug. Because after I reinstalled 2.3 ROM and baxter, it still no problem. Once I install acurarom after baxter, many apps cannot find in market and incompatible such as "Smile shooter analog clock", "Maid live wallpaper", etc. Sadly, I just a newbie and have not enough permission to ask in development group
Anyway, thanks for your help~
Its an DPI related issue with new market.
Well I am facing same issue on new Market, it doesn't support dpi other than 240. I have no idea why google put dpi check on the new version of the market.
Anyway if any one want to know how to solve it. First you need to revert your dpi to 240 and restart the phone, and then go to manage Application under phone settings, click on market, and clear data after force closing it. Restart the market and Voila!
Cheers!
Edit: On other note download maket enabler from market if you need to install an app that is not available in your country of the market.

I've solved the dpi problem by deleting "com.android.vending.updater.apk" from the system/app folder and installing one of these themed market apps

I extracted the problem ROM zip file and get the build.prop, it contain this line:"ro.sf.lcd_density=240". I think the dpi should be 240 but still having problem. In another "works" ROM (Baxter), it does not contain this line but it works.

Tried but not work.
I made a zip file with "com.android.vending-1.apk" which is Market 2.3.4. And delete "com.android.vending-2.apk" and market updater using RootExplorer. Then install the zip from recovery. But finally no help. Some apps still hidden.

The is an app in the market that I would like to get but it says it is incompatible with the transformer but I am 99 44/100% sure it will work.
Is there a way to fool the market place? I searched and found answers for other devices but none for the transformer.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi
If you have another android device, like phone, download it to phone, make backup, transfer apk to TF and install. Works for me.
I have downloaded apps directly to my tf and after uninstalling them tried to get them from the market only to be listed as incompatible..think it had something to do with having a custom rom, some of them include older versions of market, some have the option to install the ics market app, while others have options to go back to the hc market app. AS poster before said, you can download on another compatible device and make a backup and just swap the apk over, but if you don't have a backup device many of the apps on the market can be found in the wild as the raw apk file, even some pay apps can be found in the wild, though i don't pirate apps because that is the sure way to kill or own market (who is going to design apps for android if they can be pirated so easily?).
Also, try to get the 'tablet market' app, that seems to have the tablet optimized versions of some apps that are hard to find via market.

Wait I dont get it. After downloading the app from Google Play, where do I find the apk for that app? And do I need a root for this?
God I hate sounding like a noob...

O didn't understand you had the apk from the market the first time. Thought you said you first downloaded it from another site then the google market.
Otherwise you need root for you transformer indeed. they are in /data/app folder
[ps] = I have downloaded apps directly to my tf and after uninstalling them tried to get them from the market only to be listed as incompatible <----this is why i thought you downloaded somewere else !!
After lots of reading through this site and others I successfully rooted and installed CM9 on my Nexus S.
How do I get Google Maps back on my phone? It's my main issue.
After flashing the ROM I immediately flashed the GAPP package. Did something go wrong that prevents me from having Google Maps as well the the Navigator program?
I am ready to try to flash the GAPP package again from Clockwork Mod Recovery.
Can I just use the "Install ROM from SD Card" option in ROM manager to install the GAPP.zip file?
If not I assume I should just boot into recovery and run the GAPP.zip file?
When I installed the ROM I was only able to do so after disabling the signature check as I kept on getting an "e-signature failed" and abortion of the install. Was I correct in moving the check?
Thank you in advance.
..
I have wiped totally clean before the installs and it just seems like Google Maps isn't in the GAPP.zip pack. Everything else is there. Are you suggesting that signature verification would prevent one program like Google Maps from being installed?
I used CWM to install the pack again and same results. Everything there except what I assume are more proprietary apps...Google Maps and the Navigation. I don't know what others Google considers proprietary.
..
Just install it from the market
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
..
I downloaded the .zip file you used and still can't seem to find google maps in the .apk files...very strange. As I could have sworn I saw it there earlier.
Does anyone know what is happening or how I can get google maps in working order?! It almost prevented me from scoring a phone number from a good looking spanish woman tonight.
Install it from the market. All the gapps that you can download from the market are not in the zips. Earth,voice,videos, music etc.
If for reason its not in the market on your device use the web version or market enabler.

That will probably not work because of the fingerprint of these alpha builds. It's not in the Market on my phone, for instance.

Which alpha build are you using? Maps should definitely be available in the Market.
..
If someone could direct me to a working APK that would be great.
You have to understand that I am in China, so market-wise google maps isn't available, neither is skype, neither are alot of the VPN programs etc. Or at least I assume its because I'm in China....also browser wise its pretty damn hard to track things down that aren't blocked. Haven't got around to installing a VPN but it would kick ass to get help to get a free vpn up and running too.
Nonetheless I have definitely installed the GAPP.zip file correctly after a good wipe of everything. I am pretty certain it should work since maps.google.com through the browser seems to locate me and load the map ok.

Is Dropbox blocked? http://db.tt/KIiPq4QQ
@jesusice Thank you and no Drop Box is not blocked. I was successfully able to download and install the map file. Everything is in proper working order as far as I can tell.
CM9 and ICS = success. It is snappy and have yet to have any issues with the system. Just my abilities!
I am thinking of starting another thread titled: "Why[Not] ICS and WHY [Not] CM9?"

I hear that Market Enabler is what you need. Should allow you to make the Market think you're in a country or on a carrier that does allow the apps you want.

You need to choose a American carrier to use American market. And of course you need root access.

I rooted my phone last night using poot and super user. I downloaded a modded google play from pirate bay thinking it was gonna give me free apps. i deleted the google play that was orginally on my phone now i can't get it back. i tried factory reset. i tried downloading a google play apk but everytime i open it after download is crashes. i want to unroot my phone but dont have a usb cord and dont have google play. what do i do?!?!?!

a lot of times roms do not have a google play apk but now here is what you can do .YOU can search the web ,and install google play 4.0.25 its the new one and it is downloadable as an apk file.JUST tipe downloadandroidrom in your browser and go to apk and then go to market, click on com.android.vending .If you have any problems installing it ,try use a file explorer.

First off, we dont support piracy on xda.
To solve your problem, download a play store in apk format from sites like androidpolice etc. and push it to /system/app with permissions of rw-r-r. You are done.

Ok. Install the app directly. Download another app called link2sd. Grant superuser access. Then open app window. Click on google play. Click on actions button. see options and click "make system app". It will make it system app automatically. Then reboot your phone. If it still FC, use fix permissions option from cwm recovery.

make sure that you also have GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GoogleLoginService.APK. AFAIK you need these two as well to get the play store app to work.
superuser says my binary is outdated. when i go to update it, it crashes saying it has stopped unexpectly. on link2sd all the options under actions is launch manage reinstall unistall. i tried manage and it just took me to application settings. i hope i didnt screw up my phone rooting it last night because i cant do anything on it. google play has got to where i can go in install an app but soon as i hit accept and download it crashes. i did a factory reset last night so poot and superuser are gone. i tried to redownload superuser just now and thats when it said my binary was outdated and when i try to update it, it crashes. is this fixable or is my phone screwed up lol. i really appreciate you helping me!!!

You can disable notifications from superuser app. Also you won't loose root if you factory reset your phone. Superuser app is set as system app when you root it. Also follow what justmpm said above.

You must install the Goggle play compatible with your Android version and your phone.
Please provide the phone model, Android version and if you have a custom recovery or not,
If you are still unable to install playstore apk, i will recommend downloading gapps for your phone model. Flash them from custom recovery using install zip. This should install your playstore. No clue if it can override the pre exisiting apps. Still learning on xda.

I don't think he has a curtom recovery set up. Flashing Gapps would overwrite existing ones, but most gapps packages are configured to abort the installation if some gapps already exist.
Try this app as an alternative

He is already on root, and perhaps if there's nowhere the solution, ome simply can't live without playstore. I will advise full system wipe with data and installing a newer custom recovery and then new rom with new gapps.

Brother sorry we couldn't help you in this case because we don't know how to fix it . One thing you can do is that Google it and you will found some better response for sure
Dude, that is the easiest thing to fix, but if the OP doesn't tell us the phone model and version i wont even bother trying to fix it. OP is inactive anyways...
