I've got a mini pro, but I guess this issue is the same on x10 mini.
On my G1 I had a few "must have" programs installed, but after swithcing to the X10 mini pro, a couple of these does not show up at all. I checked on my old G1 with Android 1.6, and they do show up there.
Is this a screen resolution issue? Very annoying

what are you looking for then i will try to find it and upload somewere
Hmm. Havent thought about getting them from my G1. I'll see if I'll try that.
I have now found other programs that helps me out so far. The most annoying loss was a small weather app/widget that shows forecasts from a norwegian weather-site "yr.no". For now I have made a shortcut to their mobile website, so it's not too bad. But I miss the widget...
Another thing that I find a bit sad is that I do not know what apps I could have found if they all showed up in marked. Maybe it exists better ones than I can find. I have looked a bit on appbrain, but even if I find it there, I can not install it. I mean, if it does not show up in marked, but I find it on appbrain, I still can not install it using appbrain.
You can install it, download the APK file and run with a file manager, like Astro. Enable 3rd party app support first from the settings, on my blog I got a step by step on that.
Btw thanks, I didn't know about appbrain until now
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
Yeah, I have installed APK's before (downloaded pay-apps which is not available in market in Norway ).
Now I found a huge pack of programs for android, and found a couple that I wanted to try out which I could not find in market. What I have learned so far is that the graphics is beging downscaled and that makes some programs (games...) look bad. But they do work.

Hi All
First a possible solution for the missing apps problem.
If you are not already using AppBrain I suggest you do. Its a free app that allows you to manage all your apps via web, sync apps and recover apps automatically when you factory reset.
As an added bonus, I noticed that it allows you to find those missing apps that seem to be missing from the market now. You can locate them from within the AppBrain app.
Now I need some help......
Been reading and reading the posts.
1) Can someone please tell me if there is a link to the Stock 2.1 Dell Roms (not O2, not ATT). I need this in case I have to revert back. I bought my streak yesterday in Hong Kong and it was running a build that is different then thos lists. I now have Froyo up and running, but I really need a Stock Rom 2.1 in case. Any help is appreciated.
2) Is there a simple fix to change the home screen icon sizes. Mine are spaced really far apart and are really small.

As far as I know there is no Stock 2.1... a 2.1 was released by O2 but all Streaks purchased directly from Dell have 1.6.
As for the spacing open up ADWSettings, goto Screen Preferences and increase the Desktop Columns and Rows which will basically create more rows/columns allowing for more icons (6 is generally pretty good)
The size of the icons is managed in the /system/build.prop file, you'll need to "root" your device and use an app like Root Explorer to edit the file and increase the lcd.density setting (160 is the streak default but I use 180 as its nice and easy to read)
Hope that helps

No, Appbrain will *show* you the ones you can't see in the real market but you can't actually navigate to or install them.
The reason the apps are missing as far as I can tell is that they are region coded.

Hi,
According to skype blog, skype for android is available for all android phones with version 2.1 or higher
http://blogs.skype.com/garage/2010/11/skype_101_for_android.html
When I search for skype on the market I don't find it, when I try skype.com/m I get a message saying that my handset is not yet supported. However my X10 has 2.1 Eclair which by all means meet skype requirements. Any idea?
None at all... I installed Skype just fine. Maybe it's a geographical thing?
I'd stick the apk in my dropbox for you, but I can't remember where android stores them, and I can't extract the titanium backup one without the pc (I'm not at home right now).
EDIT: ok, figured out how (they're in /data, not /system) but is it allowed? Since it's a free app there should be no problem, right guys?

I guess so, I know many did put the .apk files here as long as it is free from the developer, we're against piracy
I've tried it as soon ac I updated my phone, but every time I start the app it says that it will not work with my task manager, so took it off

is there any fix for the market to make me able to find skype?
Just search for Skype apk online. That's what I did. You're right in that it doesn't appear in market and Skype's site says it's not available. I had that issue too.
Seems to take longer to sign in after 2.1 but works fine otherwise.
I used Appbrain and installed from my desktop browser using the web installer its so much easier and pushes directly to your phone no opening of market app required. As for Skype i find i like the way it works with the x10 i always have skype set to away on my desktop so when i sign in on my phone its kind of like a remote skype because it doesn't log me out from the desktop application.
Also from what ive noticed the notification sound when someone sends you a message only plays on the last device you logged into, so for example if i am on desktop Skype then later log in on my x10, Skype will mute desktop notifications and the phone notifications will play and vice versa kinda interesting.
In all i like the fact that we can make voice calls just wish we could accept video even though we cant send (no front facing camera, app limitations I'm guessing?). Skype is the whole reason I bought an X10 in the first place. Sorry for the long first post by the way, I just thought id add my two cents and experiences with skype for x10

Have you or anyone tested the rom to verify this? While a new rom with extra would be great, I wouldn't want to waste time downloading something that didn't improve my phone but on the other hand I'd like several people to give an opinion after installing the rom to verify it works or doesn't work.
Ive got it on my phone just now and while the OP is correct, it is full of pirated apps but with its JIT enabled the bloody thing flies lol.
Marketplace is fine for me so far.
I must admit im a bit disappointed as well and will be reverting back to my old backup for now till something better comes along.
I tried it too, and finally restored to do same modifications myself, due to some bugs : physical keyboard in qwerty (was AZERTY, impossible to come back), no more Sym/àü, ...
Done in 2 hours.
I actually went back to his ROM due to the speed difference.
I also installed Titanium Backup to get rid of some of the crap he installed which cant normally be uninstalled.
I use Fancy Widget Pro but the Taskiller hes installed keeps killing it
You need the Titanium Pro version though to uninstall stuff.

You can download the Titanium Pro using the Applanet, but yes, it's warez...
Or you can uninstall the Taskiller using the Root Explorer (just go to system/app and remove the app you don't want).
Or you can add the Fancy Widget Pro to the list of exceptions of the Taskiller.

Good idea, never thought of that lol
No matter anyway as i uninstalled it
or use advanced task killer, which lets you put it on ignore.
You can also improve speed, as well as battery life, by deleting a lot of the "sony ericsson" crap found under "backup" when opening titanium. Additionally, delete SE's "home" if you don't use it and any language packs under "system/user/keyboard-config" and "system/usr/zi"
I've also erased bluetooth, GPS, maps and text to speech (since i don't use them) without any problem.
Other tips for saving space -
Delete unecessary ringtones, alarms etc... under system/media/audio
Delete unecessary wallpaper from system/etc/customization/content/com/sonyericsson/homescreen/wallpaper
Delete boot animation (sorry, can't remember where this was)
Of course this isn't for averyone but personally I like a slimmed down, respnsive phone
Any way of getting the stock SMS/MMS back?

Issue [SOLVED] > market > search results found doesn't equal search results shown.
Hello fellow's
Have you guys noticed that since the new android market came upon us, that there is troublesome to not say impossible to find some applications using the search function.
For instance, if I search "mario"; I will have 3 apps showing. All though the top bar says it found over 2000 results. Nevertheless I would not be able to download or even have these results displayed for me.
It's probably worth mentioning that I'm not the only one that having this issue. I've noticed that ALL phones have the same issue as I do. Some of these different phones have custom kernels and custom roms, but not all. So there's no need for searching error in roms, phones, etc.
I have successfully uninstalled NEW Android Market from my phone and restored the OLD android market.
It works just fine as it displays all search results that are found.
Yet the problem remains since google has arranged a silence update of market. Within 30 minutes I have the new market once again installed.
* Is there any solution?
* If not, is it possible to turn off silent updates?

"It F***ing prints money!"
Me too i have problem with market from XDAndroid it doesen't show all application : /
My guess is that everyone are having the same experience. Although I don't think too many are aware of this, rather major, bug.
To clarify for those who still doesn't have a clue of what I'm talking about:
Pay attention to the top bar where the search hits are stated. Remember this number of found apps. Compare this to how many apps you REALLY are shown. Shouldn't be too many scrolls until you reach rock bottom. XD
Also.. Let us try to exclude that this hasn't got anything to do with any regional restrictions of any kind, by stating our nationality, carrier, brand of phones/tablets, custom/stock rom and the current status of the search function in android market, at the beginning of our first posts in this thread. I'll probably be first one out to do this.
For all your convenience; just copy/paste the template below:

[Country]» SWEDEN

"It f***ing prints money!"
When you do a search in the new market only a few apps show.
You have to tap on the bar that tell you how many apps found and the rest will show.

I wish it would be that easy.
I don't mean to be rude in no way. But have you even tried that yourself?
My experience says that's bogus. If it would be pushable then probably it would look more like a button or clickable link, wouldn't it?
200.000.000.000$ Google inc. Should atleast provide hints on how to get all apps to show. Besides the billions; Google is the world largest internet search provider. It would be a great FAIL by Google if this isn't a big bug.
Nevertheless, button or not, the tapping trick will not do it. I've tried that on atleast 8 phones, different brand, different roms, different kernels. It just makes me feel stupid, tapping like a freak on my friends phones.
If you still claims that tapping is the trick. Then I would like you to take screenshots of it.
Please search for "Mario" and post screenshots of new market showing more than 5 results of Mario.
And if it is true that tapping is the way to go. Then we've probably have got ourselves a regional issue.
Also... Please provide information about your country, phone, rom, etc, etc,
The End.

Same problem.
Only just noticed it now. Thought it was my phone as google searches would not yield any results for me on the problem, probably due to wrong wording mind. I'm on stock Motorola atrix 2.2 UK rom with newish market update.
What a major oversight by google, surely they should have fixed this by now.
I do a search for music and the grey bar says there are 25978 results I click on the tab arrow to display what I assume will be the 25978 app results. I get 20 apps, that's it? Everyone here who has actually noticed still having this issue I take it?
I have this issue too. Was trying to search for "Handcent" but it returns only 2 results, neither are the actual app.

Agree, I touch there, it shows 3 hits, and 1311 results along the top:
See imageshack.us/photo/my-images/853/sc20111028081055.png/
Sorry I don't have enough posts yet to include the link.
The issue is that you can not touch and open the additional 1311 results.
easy fix for market.
Use any apparently that will freeze apks. Freeze market upgrader. Then uninstall market updates in manage applications. Once you uninstalled the update,you'll be back on the old market until you unfreeze the market updater. Hope this helps.
Even though I'm not rooted I have had that happen to me as well. Another problem I have is getting stuck in download loops. The only fix is to reboot my phone.

That was exactly what I was hoping for. How to disable that stupid silent update of google.
That really did the trick!
I can't understand how I possible could have missed that obvious application; "Market Updater.apk", when going through system apps over and over again, looking for the damn silent updater application.
I greatly appreciate your help. I was about to surrender to Google's ignorance and become one of it's stupidity.
Again, thank you for taking your time helping.
