Is There a Market for Xperia X10i

Hi all...
My first post in the amazin forum.
I bought a new Xperia X10i and updated it to 2.1 from PC Campagin... works just fine.
I don't have the Market app installed... is there a way to install it manually? is there a version that works for Xperia X10i? I was goind around the forum the last few days and Already installed some vending apks. one of them installs fine and I can launch the Market but when I try to click on any app to install it the system crashes and I have to Force Close it...
Any help?
Waleed

I have Xperia X10 mini, it came with android 1.6. I then upgraded through the PC compan. to version 2.1 .. it was nomal.
I had no problems .. the "SlideMe v4" market works normal, and apps are installed normally.
Waleed, are you sure the update was successful?

That happened to me with a HTC Tattoo from the company because it was a Phillipine phone. What I did to solve it was to install a ROM on the phone, if I find one compatible for the X10i that will have the Market working (maybe an international standard version) I'll reply again.

Update was successfull!

[Q] Getting all market apps to show up. Help please.

Okay so I've tried Googling this and posting this question in another thread but couldn't find/get an answer, so I thought I'd try to get help here. Awhile ago I installed either a 4.2 or 4.1 ROM (I can't remember), but whichever one it was, the market would show apps that weren't compatible with my 4.0 ROM. Such as GTA Vice City, The Sims 3, NBA 2K, etc. I then flashed back to a 4.0 ROM later on and those apps disappeared again. Now that I'm back on a 4.2 ROM, its not showing those apps. I was wondering what I can do to get those apps to show up again so I'm not forced to get the APK off the web. I know they're compatible with my phone because I've played those games before and they ran perfectly. Can anyone help?

HY, you can try wipe google play cache ,and restart the apk ,it might work,but if it doesnt try download google play on the web .PLEASE PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED!!!!!!

Are you sure that is the same 4.2 rom you use before? Maybe the app has been removed from the market temporarily. Use the Web play store to verify this. Good luck!

Its not the same 4.2 ROM that I had before and the apps haven't been removed at all. This ROM uses vending.apk instead of phomesky.apk and maybe that's why? Not sure. Thanks for your suggestions though.

[Q] Real Racing 3

Are you able to install games like Real Racing 3 or Asphalt 8 from Play store? It is saying the app is incompatible with your device / HTC One mini.
Anyone know why is it so?
Are the games working on your phones?

The same here. What could be it? Hardware or Android 4.2.2?

If you didn't get your update to 4.3 & Sense 5.5 yet, there is nothing you can do on stock software. There's something wrong with compatibility on 4.2.2 version of android for our Mini.
After update, games like GTA 3, GTA Vice City, Real Racing 3 and many others became compatible in my case.
Wait for OTA and it'll be fine then

Thanks for the redeeming Answer . No I still have no update of Android 4.3 (Telekom, Germany). They say it comes in a few days.

Quite strange. These games were also uncompatible on my mini but on 4.2.2.
After update to 4.3 almost all of the games are visible in play store.
Games I checked:
- GTA 3
- GTA Vice City
- N.O.V.A 3/4
- Real Racing 2/3
- GT Racing 2
- Asphalt 7/8
- NFS Most Wanted
- Assasins Creed Pirates
- Modern Combat 4
- Max payne
- Fast&Furious 6
I've installed 3 of them:

Is your phone fully stock/unrooted? I'm running a rooted stock rom of the 4.3 / sense 5.5 update and the play store won't let me install those games. I'm not sure if being rooted has anything to do with it though, and was just wondering if its only the official ota(unrooted) roms that work

Im on stock Vodafone branded Rom - no root. I recently updated it to 4.3 and I was actually surprised about games compatibility.

Hmmm. It seems like it'll only work on the stock. For me, the at&t version has everything except for gta sa that I know that isn't compatible. But I use the [email protected] apps, so I don't really care about that.

aww man. Is there any known fix to make the play store know that the games are compatible? I couldn't find anything in search bar.

FYI, incompatible or missing apps are most likely due to DPI config being collected by the store and then filtering is applied....
There is indeed a fix for this, generally for ROOTED devices (see below), but there are/were apps that can change DPI on your device (haven't checked recently, but I used one a couple of years ago and it worked, called LCD density modder I think....)
This thread has flashable zips for modded store apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839871
This thread has a guide explaining how the store uses DPI config, and how the mod gets around it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580827

Hi, thanks for your help! I've read through the thread but I don't understand what I'm supposed to do. I'm assuming I'm supposed to use the DPI 320 patch but I don't understand how I use it. there are no download links and I can't download the Google Play 4.3.10 at the bottom of the first post. Thanks for any help
Also, I've just found that editing the build.prop file will work if you change the model and brand name. However I've left everything as is and changed the ro.product.model=HTC One Mini to ro.product.model=HTC One, but in device ID it still shows HTC One Mini.
I'm running the stock rooted android 4.3./sense 5.5 odex rom. Thankyou!

Since you're on 4.3, download this modded store, version 4.5.10 http://d-h.st/rYl
Flash from recovery, and you should be good.....
If that doesn't work as expected, try the work-a-round from MyLifeRocks10:
Follow these steps if you have problems like certain apps not showing up in Play Store(e.g. Facebook,Beautiful Widgets) or shows incompatiblity error.
1. Flash the zip file and reboot.
2. In Settings->Apps->All clear data of Play Store and Google Services Framework then reboot.
3. Open Play Store, if it gives error then clear data of Play Store and open Play Store again then hit accept.
4. If ur apps doesn't show up under installed apps in play store after installing this fix then reboot once and u should see it afterwards.
5. If above steps didn't fix ur issues then remove Google account,reboot and re-add ur Google Account.
If the above options don't work - you can use xposed installer and add the "All apps in Play Store" module....
Hit Thanks if I've helped!
Edit: just noticed you're on an odex ROM (do you prefer over deodexed? Odex causes issues with certain mods...) I can't confirm if the modded zip will work on odexed... maybe search the thread.....?

Thank! I had tried that method earlier but it didn't work however I wasn't sure why. I am using an odex rom simply because I saw people recommending it over the dexodex rom. I'm not actually sure what the difference is so I dont have any preference. Thanks for telling me that the odex rom should be avoided if modification are needed!
In the end I managed to change the build.prop successfully. Turns out you have to change ro.product.device=m4 to ro.product.device=m7! It was that simple! I was just changing some things to hopefully get it to work and it did. Hope this helps anyone else who always has my problem. All the apps I wanted now show up in the playstore and I can install them without any problems. This eliminates the need to mod the play store too, and im assuming future play store updates won't affect the build.prop and this method will continue to work.
Thanks to those who helped.
Hit thanks If i also helped

Many thanks the build.prop method worked for me and all my app like GTA are now available. Though asphalt 8 still won't download due to some error code..
I tried many Modded play stores and non worked. This has. Cheers!

Google Now Launcher!!!

Hi Xperia tablet z users!!!
Found this thread of the Google Now Launcher, tried this on my SGP311 4.3 tablet and it worked out fine.
No root needed. Simply download the GoogleLauncher and GoogleSearch installer and you're good to go.
It's has a simplistic UI for those who wants simplicity..
you can also try this one. Download the zip file and extract the content and install them normally.

This is only works in jellybean 4.3 . If you use it on 4.2 or 4.1 it will show the Package parsing error.
For android 4.2 and may be 4.1(I have not tested on 4.1) download and use the APK from here. I take it from original Nexus 5 firmware. It's untouched and working fine on jellybean 4.2. only need the updated google search from play store. Enjoy...:good:
