AppBrain find it this app, market not. When i try to shows app details in market, but via AppBrain, then market says 'Not find - Cannot find requested item'.
Where is the problem.
In app installer.
App installer have all informations what app can be installed what cannot.
Any ideas how to change this?

I don't know for sure, but i heard that apps that you can find on the market are depends of your country.Also, i saw a programm to change your region settings in market.If you need it, i can find it.
I know about depends of country - i ask my friends to search this apps in
their android phones (Milestone, GalaxyS, G1, Spica).
Only market on X8 is blind for these items.
There is a reason for restrictions on the country.
try market enabler
search it in 4 shared "market enabler.apk"
Market Enabler is used for something else.
My problem is not depended of operator or country.
Have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742608
It should solve your problem with market.
i have the market but when i use market enabler i see more apps
for eg. "skype"

You can merge it into one yourself.
Market enabler allows you to download paid apps.
So maybe try clear the cache,reboot and start again.
Please, dont write if you dont read all posts in thread.

Solution found on xda (solves problem with Goggles)
The problem with applications such as Goggles or QuickMark comes from the lack of autofocus in the Xperia X8.
The solution is simple (found somewhere on xda):
1. copy to the directory /system/etc/permissions file android.hardware.camera.autofocus.xml.
2. Set permission to at least 644.
3. Xml file can be downloaded from the address http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=425158&d=1287842085 or from the attachment.
4. Uninstall the updates of Android market,
5. Reset the phone.
After restarting you can find in the Market and install such apps like Goggles.
After that an update of Market does not change anything and the solution works.
This is not mine solution (except uninstalling Market - without this step it won't work) and all the credit goes to the original author).

I have tried to download many times but it always stays on starting to download...
Its really annoying.
Try to change Vending.apk permissons to rw-r--r--
Sent from my rooted X10 mini pro, still with Android 1.6!!! using XDA App
Is the problem with the UAE carrier or your market apk?
It says in your sig you are "Rooted with Market Fix" - did that fix stop working? Did it involve changing what carrier the market sees your phone as?
Here is an app that can change what country/carrier the market sees your phone as:
MarketAccess is a complete rewrite of the MarketEnabler. It is an application which emulates the SIM card of the chosen operator and makes paid apps accessible in the Android Market. You need it if you want to buy apps and games from Market, but Market is not (yet) available in your country or for your operator.

thanks buddy,ur link help me lot..
weird that i heard LG Optimus comes with "with google" slogan.....
Did anyone get Market to get working on the LG Optimus P503 yet? I have this problem on my son's phone now, any info will be appreciated. Has anyone tried Market Enabler?
Thanks in advance!
i also bought a p503 here in Turkey, it is just annoying not to be able to log on ANDROID MARKET. I read the suggested thread regarding flashing the ROM. Hovewer, it is a bit too risky here in Turkey cause it breaks the warry terms.
Can anyone simply suggest another way to activate th ANDROID MARKET?
thans by now
I learned the hard way that access to the Market or to specific apps from the Market are not phone related, but location related.
Yeah, try imagining my surprise when every single internet site said I can download and install Google StreetView from the Market, yet the damn application was nowhere to be found. So there I was, searching for the application using my computer when I found the Google Market site accessible from PC. It asked me to authenticate using my Google account - so they knew who I am, where I live, what type of phone I have and what mobile operator I use. Therefore, when I found the StreetView app, the download button was inactive because "this application is not available for your provider" or something like that. Whaaaat? Yet, when I finally found the .apk somewhere and installed it from sdcard, the app worked perfectly.
So Google restricted my access to that specific application. As it does to ALL the paid versions of the Market applications because there's no way yet to pay for them here in Romania. Therefore I have reasons to believe that your access to the Market is entirely forbidden because of where you live or because of your mobile carrier and another ROM may not make any difference.
I really, really hope I am wrong.
You can try root + market enabler, it is a solution.
How about just pushing the Market APK to your phone? If your phone has a browser, you should be able to do a quick search at 4shared: http://search.4shared.com/q/1/vending apk just choose the newest one, download and install

They need to have a rooted phone. They can use Titanium Backup and force attach the apps to the market

It will not specify how you installed the app. The app will just be shown as installed if you search for it on the market (and if you use Titanium Backup's Market Doctor, then you can attach it for it to show up in the "My Apps" section - for some apps).

There isn't any other way to attach the market link to the app, not using Titanium Backup. Once, My Apps section of Market stoped working, and Titanium Backup caused that.

what i curious is does android market know when a user installed the apk from an external source (same signature). if yes, can i say that the download number in market is the overall download numbers from all the sources of the app?

No, it will not know. No, it would not add to the download number in the market.
Speaking from first-hand experience, don't be so sure that either the Android Market or Amazon Appstore stop counting (or knowing) about apps just because they are side-loaded.
Our current app doesn't show an increase in downloaded users, but Google does report "active" users, and that number can differ from the download number. Moreover, Amazon Appstore currently "finds" apps installed on a device and matches them with apps in their list and they will try to update them.
One last note: app developers can and do put all kinds of code in their apps that touch live Google and Amazon APIs and components. This code will communicate with those services even if the app arrives on the device indirectly... so there are still many ways an app can be tracked besides just direct download numbers.

I Sent my market purchased apps to my spouses new phone, without my account on it, and they updated through his account, but only free versions. To get the update on paid versions I had to install my account, so there is definitely something going on in the signature.
If the developer updates their apps with any regularity the download count will rectify itself during the update process. BTW, Amazon does this as well. I am always offered to update my Market apps through Amazon (if free on both) but typically Market has the update before Amazon.

is it possible to make an application think it is installed from market?
does market app (now play store) keep record of applications installed from market but not directly from an apk or other sources? can that list be manipulated?
No it checks your google account to see if you made the purchase before. All that is done securely. The market will see it as purchased sometimes, but when trying to download google recognizes that you havent really purchased and gives an error. I sort of kno why you asked and you can google how to get what you want. No talk of that here though !

i asked it here to make sure nothing illegal is happening
because xplore (it's free!) suggests you to download it from market if you install the apk
but what about this: you install an app from market, you wipe everything, you install the backup of your (personal!) apk, now if it checks your google account, there is a record of purchase, right?, but xplore realizes it's not from market, i think the way it's doing this is very cool, i want to know how to do it myself
and by the way if you google ( no matter how hard) there is no cracked version of xplore!
i'm gonna think that developers of xplore are some kind of very.... genius?!?!!
and we all know there are a lot of articles about 'how to secure your app against reverse engineering and craking' but if i was in a hurry, which one did you suggest me to read?

Titanium Backup (Menu->Market Tools->Market Doctor may help.
Also, if you install an app from some 3rd party source (but don't link it to the market), you will still see it as "purchased" or "installed" if you search for it (and find it).

Hello
I know that after the change from Google Market to Google Play it is not anymore possible to detach an App from Google Play, because the important information is saved on the Google Servers and not on the phone anymore.
But when I have an OpenSource-App, like MyTracks, couldn't it easily be possible to detach it from Google Play?
What do I need to do?
I have to compile it, I guess, but where do I have to change things, that GP doesn't try to update it anymore and doesn't tell me that this App is installed already?
Do I have to change the name of the app?
What would be the easiest way?
For example, I use Camera360 in an older version 2.7 because the v3.x is cheesy and I got from the developer this v2.7 which is NOT attached to GP. The developer must have changed a little thing, but I don't know what it was.
Kind remarks,
frank

Try changing the name of the apk in the data folder. Example, change the apk name from com.example to com.example2 using a root file browser.

I think I would need to change the package name of the app (e.g. com.google.android.maps.mytracks) . Not just the apk-name.
But how could I do this?
OK, no developer here in this forum, so I asked it here, with a bit more hope on a solution:

I know it now, it's easy.
Need to sign the app with another key. Can be any other key, Google Play won't know the app after as the same and won't give updates.
The app ZipSigner can do this, has even own keys to sign.
I did it several times, e.g. with Skitch

Wrong!
This old version is a different version and it is on the market but won't be updated anymore.
By the way, I don't use Camera 360 anymore. Too buggy and no support or bugfix
