If you have Jf v 1.42 can you purchase games/apps?? or get them free??

hey if you have hacked or have gotten root in the g1 can you payy for aps or games?
aslo can you get them free like in the itouch/iphone??
You can buy apps (Currently). No piracy here, though. There are rumors about them disabling some apps for root users, but I doubt it'll come to that.
i bought snap photo pro because I support this app and this was on JF 1.141 rc 33 so I see no problem downloading.
one thing I have noticed and I have not see it on the board, but if you do a wipe, then your installed apps do not appear. I think that google needs to put the information in the "cloud."
you can buy apps, installed PAID and FREE appd what u wont be able.. is see PROTECTED apps..

Best apps!

Hi,
I bought HTC Magic a couple of months ago, but since then, I haven't been able to find a decent app for my phone which I can be proud of. Notice, that I am in a region where Paid apps aren't available in android market. I have gone through all the free apps in the market, and I can't find a single nice app. On the other side, I have an iPod Touch which some really mind blowing apps and I feel like Android apps stand no way near to the iPod Touch apps.
Now, I am thinking of creating a US Gmail account and then pay through Google Checkout, so that I can get paid and quality apps.
Can any body recommend me some kicka** games, and apps?
I am running Android 2.1 ROM on my Magic.

[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

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

[Q] Weird market problem

So, I did the market fix found in the development section (clearing framework and market data). The market finds almost all apps (launcher pro, go launcher, dolphin, etc). However, it will not find any of those tegra based games like Samurai Vengeance. I did download that game, I was able to search for it BEFORE I did the fix. However, now I can't update it or anything. Some other things I am unable to find in the market are things like Worms by EA, etc. Does anybody know what is going on, or this just how it is with our tab?
Between the market and hunting apks on the net I can find everything. The market has gotten better since day one and will get better over time so a little patients and a lot of net searches pays off. Didn't even know there was a worms for android... the hunt is on!

Play Store sort by relevancy question

In the Play Store is there no way to sort apps by "relevancy"? Wouldnt this come in handy in situations? Is there anyone else that is bothered by this? Not upset, but more so frustrated when im looking for a launcher and get 60+ themes in between different launchers.
