Need help installing non market apps - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My fiance just got the xperia x10 through ATT. There is no setting to allow her to install any apps other than market apps. I have read pages and pages of crap here on how to root which seems to be the only way to do it however the one click root apk will not install because its a non market app. WTF?
Bottom line is she just wants to be able to install non market apps right now. What is going to be the easiest way to do this? Thanks for your help. I know how much people hate repeat questions, but I cant find what I need after an hour or looking.

Can you elaborate a little more about the app appbrain please. I researched it a little but just didn't completely understand it.
I don't either but once you sign in to your Google just go to the Market and push Menu->Downloads, and you will see the purchased and you can download it.

Missing apps from market

Hi guys,
I have a generic UK firmware 026 for x10i.
A few days ago I reflashed my phone using SEUS as I was having a few problems with the phone.
After reinstalling i noticed there are quite a few apps I cannot find in market. They were there before flashing but now it just cannot find in search.
Is there a fix for this?
I know there is a fix for rooted phones but mine isn't rooted and also its for version 020.

I have also noticed this after debranding and going to 026 in uk was krange branded 020 before

Yeah but I'm baffled. I'm not rooted or manually debranded. My phone is factory sim free and I'm using stock 026 firmware why should I have this issue?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
because some providers block some apps... and some apps are not available in some country...
Try to find your apps on WiFi... if it is not found... there a country lock...
With Market Fix, your X10 is open to all apps...

Sorry but your theory doesn't really make sense. I had apps available before reflashing. I had 026 before and still have now. All I did was reinstall.
But have tried you WiFi theory, that failed I'm afraid.

The market fix replace 2 system files, so root is needed to do that..
I'd debrand my French X10 on 014 to an sweeden 026 (for no serve me), some of french apps are not avalable after that...
With the Market FIx, i can found it again...
So, i tell you a solution, if you don't believe it, wait if some one have an other solution..
Same problem for me.
Hi,
Same problem here. Have a German device flashed to Generic Nordic. Live in sweden. Installed som swedish apps and it was all green (some of them I also had installed befor the flash). After quite some time I wanted to star over from scratch again (had so many bad apps I didn't use that I wanted to totally get rid of).
I used SE Updateservic and did a repair.
Still on Generic Nordic, bur now several apps can't be found for me any more, though I just had them. I thought that I should try to repair the device again, but at the same time 2.1 was just around the corner.
But now when 2.1 is delayed I maybe try to see if another repair can fix things.

Try www.appbrain.com, here in Canada I swear they block all the good apps. This was the only way I got some apps on my phone.

So from what I understand will this allow you to view market apps from other countries and see everything relesed instead of the market saying it can't find what your looking for?
Quite a few times iv been on appbrain and you click on an app, it goes to the market and it won't find what you just clicked even though its shown on appbrain.
Could someone clarify for me? Thanks in advance

How could you download directly from AppBrain? It takes you to market and it says that its not available
Right guys, all your suggestions were useless, but thanks for trying, and those who kept banging on about country restrictions- you were just talking nonsense as it was not the problem I was having, as I thought I had explained but noone seemed to grasp.
Anyway I believe I have worked out the solution to this problem myself.
Go to setting, applications, manage applications, market, uninstall updates(this will take you back to original factory version, and will reset market)
Don't worry as market will Automatically update itself a few hours later.

Should I upgrade?

I have an AT&T X10 on 1.6. I rooted to remove at&t apps, add tether, swype, etc. I pretty much have it running exactly how I want, I think. Question is, should I mess with upgrading? What will I gain? Will I have to re-install all the apps? I assume I'll have to re-root to get the root apps to work?
Thanks in advance.

make a backup of your apps, upgrade to 2.1, install xrecovery and restore your files.
voila
But what is to be gained in features, etc?

use your brain little or just simply google it
2.1 is way better than the 1.6
You get HD recording for the camera. Better user interface. Better keyboard. Snappy time scape and media scape. You also get live wall papers. There are many more things which I want you to discover yourself to make it interesting.
The bottom line is to get an update. Its really worth it.

unless i saw something else by mistake. its all ready on the phone in the app list as 'talk'.
Yes it is already pre-installed. Look for Talk in the application launcher.
There's no GTALK on Motorola Atrix for TELCEL Mexico, they always remove gtalk on their phones,
Is there any way to install it?,
I got the talk.apk, TalkProvider.apk, gtalkservice.apk from 2.1 but they won't install
Can you help please?
Thanks in advance

there's not really a Canadian sbf, there's an Aussie sbf and a French sbf that are compatible with many devices that aren't AT&T, if you read this it may help, i'm not sure if you bought a device, unlocked it for that provider or what, so if your device has any of the version numbers mentioned in the first post you should be good to go.
or if you just wanna post your build version (should be starting with some characters like "OLYLA" then some numbers) in this thread i can probably tell you if the sbf in the thread i linked you to will work for you
You could try a market enabler app to trick the market into thinking you're with a different carrier.

Are you talking about Google Talk or Google Voice?
Google Talk is part of the OS whereas Google Voice is an addon app.

Yes. GTALK do support video calls on the Atrix with GB 2.3.4. I haven't tried Skype though.
can you share the working apk.
I am on cherryblur 1.3 and it does show video icon but if i select it,it crashes and goes back to list.
thank you.

For everyone with a non rooted motorola atrix from telcel (idk about any other f*ing carrier that dont allow or removes gtalk from their android phones), i dont know how but i found an apk that works
I hope it attaches and well to everyone else with other phones, my gf has a galaxy s2 (same carrier, telcel) and the apk doesnt work, ill dig into that tho xD

Just make sure Talk.apk is in the system/apps folder and with the correct permissions. You should be good to go.

[APP]Google books from market on atrix

Hey guys, i wanted to install the google books app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.books&feature=search_result
on my atrix and i cant find it in the market from the atrix (used market enabler to no avail), i even tried from the above android market link to install it from there over the google account but it simply wouldnt install... so my question is if anyone has the app installed and/or if there is a method to install it manually? (im using it on a cyanogenmod 7.0.3 nook color without a problem...)
Try the attached file and let me know. Similar happened to me with groupon and paypal.

Try this Fix Permissions app.
caught me slipping there forgot to ask if he had restored a backup from Titanium or something, if so you can also fix permissions with root tools, recovery (i think) or using the app recommended by Wired.
no thers no titanium in game .... might be cuz im in Slovenia, but that shouldnt be a problem with market enabler than ... thanks for the help tho. uhm for instance i cant install this app:

I want that app too!! No, you wont be able to install Google Body on anything that doesnt run Honeycomb. Right now only a few tablets have HC. When Ice Cream Samach comes out it will be available on both phones and tablets; merging Gingerbread and Honeycomb. Your on Froyo. F G H I
Edit: what you need to do is sign in when your browsing the market through a browser. It will then let you know if the app is available on your device. THEN you will be able to download apps through the browser (if they "work" on your phone).
