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:

Oh okay, that's pretty cool. I don't need it personally, but thanks for the development.
That doesn't sound terribly legal.

Its a mod which released yesterday and is not illegal.

Does this do a similar function to Market Enabler, but without the need for a separate app?

i don't understand what are trying to say.
This app Vending.apk is a Google Play Store, modded version. It remove countrys restrictions for apps.
I never had any FC yet... try and check your permission, refer OP for more info.
Sorry to say that but it is not working for me
I replaced the file using es explorer
Changed permissions
Rebooted
Opened the play market and still I can't find in search all of the applications that I know are not allowed in egypt (or middle east) market
Anything I can do to help debug this issue?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
sorry for not being clear
I know this is the google play store app, what i meant to say is that the phone installs another version after using this one (it installed the same version 3.5.16 i don't know why) so whenever i use this mod the phone automatically remove it and install an unmodded version again ... that's one thing
the other thing is that even when i was running this modded version i could not access apps from other markets i can only access egypt/middle east market
I tried it but it seems it's not working. I can't see the apps forbidden in my country. I followed the instructions but it's a no go!
I tried even uninstalling the stock play using TB and then installing this version yet failed to show me blocked applications also
I would like to know who is the creator of this modified to get in with to try and help debug the not working issue
I guess the op is not him

Used "Cut the rope free" as an example (The "free" version is region restricted) - still unable to see it - no obvious change.
Is it just supposed to be masking the MCC/MNC or is it providing them as a fixed alternate value?
Today i tried to install an apk i downloaded from a company thats software i use, Touchdown for my email and contacts etc.
When i went to the download file to click on the apk to update my version it gives me the install option but i cant click on it only on cancel.
I messed around and then did the same thing though my file explorer and this time i was presented with an option to install it using package installer or juicy installer work around.
package didnt work the the installer workaround did.
Is this a problem with juicy or what?
If its a problem and they have obviously included a work around are they going to fix it?
This is a weird issue i guess idk.
Any responses would be helpful.
Go to settings>security and check the "unknown sources" box. Without that you can only install apps from the play store.

Disable the brightness control in juice defender. That's causing your problems.

With Juicy i can at least do the pull down click brightness turn it off and install then turn it back on
Thanks again

Have you tried going to the app in app manager and clearing data and cache. If that doesn't do anything you could use a file explorer program to delete it from /system/app folder and then download it from play store.

Programs like root explorer will let you delete it. You have to select the r/w option though because /system is r/o by default.

Are you able to download other stuff from store or do you get the same error with other apps. I know nova isn't supported on our devices so maybe play store is just blocking it. Do you have the apk of the new version. You could try just copy and paste into you system app folder.

well it downloads angry birds. and i thought if an app wasnt supported on a certain device it didnt show up. bc i was running it before and the only problem i came across was that it wouldnt update.
ill try to paste the APK into the system/app folder....
[edit]
i rebooted my phone, this time after the loading screen, it said "Android is upgrading/updating" i dont remember which.... but Nova launcher keeps crashing.... trying to run the beta.... it wont start.
You could try and do the fix permissions option in recovery to maybe give it the right permissions. It might need a certain access level. Also it might have to be in /data/app for market to recognize it. Seems weird though that it's giving you so much trouble. I looked it up on my phone and it shows me the app but has the black bar that says "your device is not supported" in place of the download option. It would be nice if all apps just worked the way you wanted them to.

My wifes phone had that same issue. Everytime she took a video or picture she would have to unmount and remount the sd card for gallery to show it, and that only worked sometimes. She has never rooted and was just using the provided 8gb sd card. I bought her a new 16 gb class 10 from best buy for 20 bucks and she hasn't had the problem since.

So, the ROM works fine and everything is dandy, but the main issue that irks me is that I have to press "ok" every time after disabling data:
http://gyazo.com/24c68b47ea03f668397c798bac1df55f
Is there a way I can change that the message does not show up or do I need to go into ADB? I'm not sure how ADB works either.
TestKnow has also released a universal ADB driver. Not sure how well that works or if anyone has pointers because I had a tough time installing ADB in the first place.
Another issue is the messenger app. There's a different version of the stock messenger app that I want to install because in this version I can send messages without typing anything:
http://gyazo.com/f38f7d74870c98b40d1e39ab66d24e19
I tried to push another app before but it just permanently crashed the app and I had to reflash. Is there another way? ADB again?
Thanks.
Sadly this is present in both stock 5.0.2 and 5.1.1.

The disabling data thing? I mean, I can live with this and the other issue, but I would be happier if I could fix them. I know phones aren't perfect so I'm just trying to be realistic here. I haven't downloaded any apps yet to see if I can remedy these two things first. Thanks for replying.
If you're rooted you can use mobile toggle data from xda.
Google it.
With that you can either make a widget or Tasker profile.

I meant from the pulldown menu like in this picture: http://gyazo.com/24c68b47ea03f668397c798bac1df55f
It's not a dealbreaker for me but it would be nicer.
Would you know how to push an apk into the system drawer? I wanted to add a different version of the messenger and maybe keyboard app.

Sadly no, but will be happy to hear it, if you find a way!
You can use ROM toolbox pro to convert a user app to a system app.
Or if you already have a system app apk file then just paste or move it /System/app or priv app and set permissions using a file explorer then reboot phone.
