Manually installing Market app

I have a branded Galaxy S with no Android market. I've found 3 different Vending.apks, version 1.665, 1.668, 1.713. I tried to install them using adb install. 1.7133 returns "unexpected exception". Other two install successfully but they both crash when click Install an app. When I go back to app page it says Starting download and gets stuck there (Market app is not frozen). Am I missing a step for manually installing market? Do I have to do anything like adb push Vending.apk /system/app/?

Have you tried flashing a gapps.apk?

have you tried using appbrain and their corrosponding apps like their installer?

AFAIK appbrain uses default market app to download. I don't have any market app that's the problem..

I don't know what gapps.apk is. Could you elaborate please?
Do you mean Vending.apk from the gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip of the Cyanogenmod 5?
Btw I'm using:
pad: jvjh1
phone: jxjg2
csc: trcjh2

Did the same vending.apk installation on a HTC legend "Middle East Version" which also came with no Market and no sucess, i do have the same problem..."crashing at installation"
and about gapps, it's not an apk but rather a flashable content that require rooted device and since i don't wanna root this phone i really didn't figure it out so far. so i'm still waiting for a solution.

Ok. The gapps.apk I know of you can find on rom manager. I think you can DL rom manager straight from their website and install using something like astro file manager. Cyanogen can't release a rom with the Google apps for copyright reasons so they offer it as a seperate download. I'm assuming you can find it on the cyanogenmod site. Otherwise try flashing a stock image through rom manager if they have one for the galaxy x. How did it not come with a market?
Hi. I posted a reply for your idea for my problem but got no reply from you, I guess the thread got lost beneath all the other threads. Could you please give me any ideas about this:

[MOD] Hulu: Flash 11 modded to work UPDATED 11/26/2011

UPDATED 11/26/2011
Ok so here is flash 11 which works with hulu by tricking it that the flash player is a desktop version. This mod is 100% the work of Vgeezy from thrive forums. i am just reposting it here.
Instructions:
1) Download the apk
2) Uninstall flash on the transformer
3) Install apk
4) Set user agent in browser to desktop (open browser-setting-advanced-user agent string- desktop)
5) Go to www.hulu.com and enjoy!
If these instructions dont work try this: (Credit Cowballz69)
1) Set flash to always on on the browser
2) Disable pictures to make sure you boot original flash in market (browser-settings-advanced-uncheck display pictures)
3) Play any flash video with original flash app
4) Uninstall flash from market
5) Install modded flash.apk
6) play any hulu video now
If your flash settings are set to on demand u must scroll down and click the green arrow on the right next to "share this video" to enable the flash. otherwise u can keep flash on always on in settings. (i hate flash ads so i keep on on-demand)
For a frame rate boost u can go to browser-settings-advanced-and uncheck load images (thanks cowballz69)
also if u want an easier ui to access vids some ppl prefer http://www.hulu.com/widget/player but i think that is better suited for smaller phone screen
if u are having problems and it doesn't work make sure you have the new 10.3 installed from market, install the modded apk over top of that then uninstall Flash again and then install the modded apk. (Thanks MonsterAndroid)

No luck here. Maybe I'm doin it wrong.

What is the error it gives u? Does it say platform not supported? or it needs higher version of flash?

works perfect. However please add this to instructions *must switch flash from on demand to always on

Ok will add tidbit about ondemand and pictures off as options. But u can still use with ondemand there is a little arrow next to share this video that allows u to turn on flash for those that hate to keep it always on to avoid pesky flash ads.

Does not work for me. Says hulu is not supported on my platform. Do i need root? I just tried installling on top of 10.3,it says not installed. Then i uninstalled 10.3 and used file manager to pull up the downloaded file and installed it. No luck.

try uninstalling the modded version again. reinstall the market version. then uninstall market version and try installing the modded version. Let me know if that works.

Make sure you hit all the x's on the tabs to close out of the browser ... you cant just hit the back button to exit, that will just put it in the background processes ... remember that. Once you come back in it should work.

I did this about 5 different times with no luck. One time my TF froze and i had to hard reboot. Then i decided to switch flash to ondemand, it had been on always previously. Dont ask why i did it, I just had a haunch. Anyways, it works now. I am not sure if it finally took or if changing the option made it work, but it works now. Thx.

Not sure why its working for some and not for others. Maybe for those who are having problems post what software build version u are using. I am on the 0423 build so maybe people who are on old firmware are having problems.
If u post as much specific detail about what the problem is and how ur device is set up maybe we can figure out a solution.

i'm on 8.2.3.9-20110423
I had flash 10.2 installed. put flash 10.3_hulu into a folder on my transformer.
uninstalled flash 10.2, then used Ghost Commander to locate the 10.3 & install it.
tried the stock browser, with the user agent set to Desktop... didnt work.
tried Dolphin HD with user agent set to desktop... didnt work.
rebooted. tried both again. didnt work.
uninstalled 10.3_hulu. rebooted. installed 10.3 (marketplace version). then uninstalled it. then re-stalled the hacked version. rebooted. tried both stock & dolphin. nothing. changed dolphin's plug-in settings from "always on" to "on demand." still nothing.
got angry. cursed out friends on xboxlive because I can. made angry post on xda forum. relived the horror all over again by typing this post

just tried installed the hacked one over the standard one. still doesnt work. uninstalled then installed hacked on again. still nothing.

Only way I was able to get it to work was by setting plug in to On Demand.

Got it to work on mine. Downloaded the .apk file and ran it from file manager. Failed to install first time. Uninstalled the stock version then reran the modded one. Installation completed then. Had to drop the show resolution down to 480. 720 was a bit to choppy. Biggest problem right now, is that the Hulu screen wasn't intended for a touchscreen interface.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App

got it to work on mine but its laggy when its running on full screen.

Mine wasn't working with the apk from the older post...I kept getting the "unsupported on your platform" message right when I got into Hulu.com.
When I loaded this apk and followed the steps...I got all the way to choosing and watching a vid before I got that message....
but still no joy.

Gapps not appearing

I've searched up the forums and I did not get the solutions I sought.
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Mini ST-5570, running on CM10 27 August nightly build. When I attempted to flash gapps, Play Store didn't appear at all, no matter which one I flashed (2 August-signed or the one by KonstaT). In the apps list (manage apps), Play Store wasn't even there. Is there a way to fix this problem such that when I flash gapps it would appear?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Try flashing another one. Make sure the one you flash is for your android version.

CM doesn't contain gapps, so, download the apk of play store, and copy to your sdcard, them, open with any explorer

Actually, I have just found out the root of this problem - my phone has "not enough space available", so I had to do all the "adb commands" to delete all my ringtones and unnecessary stuff -.- But the problem is, my internal phone space gets rather low recently.
I would love to try out the inverted gapps sometime. What is it actually?

Gapps is a package containing certain Google Apps (that what it means). Usually these apps are not found in the market (anymore). It also contains some Google framework files. That version may be smaller, containing only the essential stuff.

make 2 partitions in your sd card, them, install link2sd, after that, transfer some programs to sdcard, after that, install gapps in recovery mode:

[Q] Help pls, How to restore SAMSUNG APPS to my tab flashed with CM9

Hello, I've flashed my P5110 with CM9, the rom works fine, however, I need some stock apps badly, such as the Samsung Apps so that I can install some apps from this market -- some of the apps in this market are not available elsewhere.
Before flashing to CM9, I've copied the Apps folder from P5110 to my PC. But now I don't know which files to be copied to P5110's app folder so as to get the Samsung Apps back.
Any advise would be appreciated.

Just search for stock apps on this site or on samsungs site, download it on to your internal memory and install it just like the rom you installed

Cant you not log into your Samsung account and download them ? Or get a stock ROM and push to device.
Thats if they will even work , Not all stock apps will work, but you can try.
What apps do you want ?

Thank you.
I can visit Samsung app's website, but can't download apps on it, because when I click download, it pushes the app to my pad, but now my pad is running CM9, and won't receive the app. That's why I would like to restore the Samsung App on my pad.

Samsung stock apps use samsung framework,
CM10 doesn't have samsung framework, so all samsung apps won't work on CM10.
I've most samsung apps *.apk and all of them can't run on custom ROM (CM9 / CM10)

Play Store doesn't load icons and images

Here's my problem, I've flashed the latest gapps on my m8 and everything works just fine, however, I noticed that play store are not showing images and icons for all the apps. It load just a few of them randomly. And screenshots NEVER loads.
I still can download and update things.
For reference, I checked the " Hosts " file and this came up on the top:

It happens both on WiFi and mobile data.
Already performed a "clear data" in both play store and Google play services, sign-out from my play store account, wipe dalvik/data via recovery. Etc.
Any help? Thanks in advance.

I'm using a rom based on the stock sense's lollipop
There's really any significant changes.
My model is the Chinese one (M8t) if that matters.
When I flashed the gapps using the original rom it didn't happened, however, it was the FULL gapps, containing a lot of bloat. This time around I used a minimal package, containing only the essential for play store to work (play services etc).
Thanks.

ok so there is two ways
1- the flashing process didn't go well
2-gapps problem
actually i use minimal gapps for android 5.1.1 and i don't have any problems
so you have the following to do :
1- re-flash the ROM and then reboot ..let your phone settle down..reboot to recovery wipe cache and dalvick cache then flash the minimal gapps
2-reflash the minimal gapps without the re-flashing the ROM ....(over-write the gapps again )
if both ways didn't work for you i recommend you change the GAPPS (maybe try delta gapps or get back to full )
good luck man

It's weird because I can't find Google+ through the play store , my Play games account doesn't connect.
My gapps package wasn't downloaded from xda, maybe that's the problem.
Could you link me to the one you're using?

it still doesn't load icons an screenshots... I need serious help here. This is the only rom that works on my m8, since I don't have the RUU for it
Someone must have a solution for my issue. It should be something related to the "Hosts" file inside System>Etc.
Guys, don't let me in the dark.

Hmm. I al so get this problem but on 4.1.2 JB . There is way how to solve iy. Just go to setting. Go to wifi. Tap on your wifi and choose modify network. Tap advance optins. Choose static. And adjust your dns2 to 4.4.4.4 and the other one is 8.8.8.8 . Try to swap this two if this not working.
