Q: Access to ALL APPS and cancel country/Device restrictions on ANDROID market - General Questions and Answers

Hi all,
I just rooted my new Galagxy tab 10.1V to 3.1 with TOuchwiz and it was worth it.
I got market enabler(the donate one) and i still cannot have access to ALL apps. is it because google recognizes it as an old device and doesn't let me fool it?
I want to get access to coll apps. can anybody help me? otherwise honeycombs apps suck

[Q] Some apps don't show up in market

I'm looking for several apps in the marketplace. I know they exist but they don't show up. I have a Samsung Captivate, rooted and running the lag fix and gps fix. I have run the market access app to emulate several other market places T-mobile, Verizon, Sprint etc.
For example, I cannot find paintshop pro, Logmein Ignition, or Caligo chasers. I have heard that some apps might not be available to rooted phones but to me that doesn't make sense. Excluding apps from the market literally forces you to pirate them because they cannot be legitimately purchased from the market.
Is my phone being excluded because it's rooted or could there be some other problem?
Is there a workaround
It seems that after a bit of research that I can see that google has made rooted phones unable to see protected apps. There must be some workaround for this, I cannot imagine all the rooted android users just not having access to large quantities of great apps.
My rom might be the problem
Upon further investigation it appears that my particular rom, and not the fact that I am rooted, might be to blame. Does anyone know how to hide my rom from the market or if I can access the market in a way that will make the market think I am using a different rom.
no work around?
does anyone have an Idea about how to work around this? I seem ro be missing out on some great apps.
Figured I would post in here instead of starting a new thread since this pertains to my question/issue.
I have a Samsung Vibrant running on SoftBank(Japan) network. I rooted and had initially loaded up Bionix Fusion JACs Kernel(TeamWiskey) ROM and was able to download Angry Birds off of the Market. I then wanted to try out Frankin-Twiz (Eugene373) ROM, after I loaded the ROM I went to the Market to find Angry Birds and it wasnt there. This was the only App that I know for sure that I couldn't get after loading the new ROM.. there might be others, I just cant say what they are.
So it is defiantly a ROM issue. Anyone have any ideas why?
try market enable which is available in the market. but i think u also need to root your phone to use it

Ended up just getting AppBrain instead of using Googles Market.. seems to have all the same apps with less hassle.

Xoom Rooted +Market Enabler stil can't access paid/tablet apps

Hi rooted my Xoom Wifi using the guide procesure and installed and enbaled market enabler.
I still can't access paid or tablet apps. Am I missing something?
use a rooted phone with same google account
Doesn't work for me either but then I figured I can use a rooted phone where market access/enabled works. So I download the apps there and since I use the same account for my rooted xoom when I goto market in my xoom I see these apps I purchased in the phone available for download

That is a good solution. However if you want to get tegra specific games you will not be able to download to your phone (I experienced this). I'm still looking for the final solution.

Google Books isnt installed anymore

After I rooted my xoom i miss the google books app. Its not installed and i cant install it from the market (germany). I was looking for a fix but it doesnt work for me, cause its not installed. By somepeople its installed but with 0.0kb.
Please, can anyone send me the apk, I really want to read my books on my xoom!!!
I found a way to get this app on you non-US xoom! It was pretty easy if you knew it!! Your device need to be rooted!!! The you can install the app MarketEnabler, after you install it you are allowed to fake your carrier and you have access to the US store!! Now I'm really happy!!

[Q] WIFI only tablets and paid apps - whats the official story?

Hey guys
My brother recently got a wifi only android tablet, and he's telling me that wifi only tablets can't get android paid apps. Is this true?
Anyone got any official information on this?
And, whats the solve?
Please, personal experience only!
thanks
On mine wifi only tablet (Asus Transformer) I can install paid apps without any problems.
I'm running a wifi only tablet with paid apps as well. Viewsonic G-Tablet to be precise. Now the stock roms on a lot of these cheaper wifi only tablets may not have a market installed. Newer wifi tablets (like the Xoom) do have Android Market installed. If your tablet doesn't come with the market you have two options. You can flash a rom, get better performance, more options, and have access to Google apps like the market. The other option is to download the Amazon marketplace.
Hope this helps.
Depending on the tablet. I had to install market 3.0 to get paid apps, but it works now.

[Q] How to buy Paid Android Apps without having registered android device?

Guys,
I wanted to buy many of the recent specials that Google have but I don't have an android phone yet.
Is there anyway I can use my friend's android device to buy these so that later I can get them when I get my phone over Christmas ?
When I log in to his Android phone it does not allow me to change the primary account in the android market app..
I am here in Aus so I think we didn't get the ability in the android market to change accounts..
Have you tried it on the market page?

You might need a device but it is worth a try.
