Root Android Market -finding the "app."

[AidanW]

After finding many games/apps from AppBrain and trying the link to the market i get this error.


Not found- The requested item could not be found

Some of the games that I'm after are flick kick football etc, and I'm currently running FroydVillain1.7.1 Android version 2.2.1 - any way to get these apps? Do i need to flash another ROM? Or am i wasting my time, are these apps sluggish and slow on the hero?

Thanks, A

If the app isn't shown in the Market then chances are it's not compatible with the device. An exception is if you're running a custom ROM, as occasionally the build.prop file will misrepresent the device and 'confuse' the Market into thinking your device isn't compatible when it is. In such a case, you can restore another ROM from backup, d/l the app, back it up, restore the original ROM and then restore the new app. Or nag the ROM developer to correct the build.prop file.

Btw, suggesting any illegal methods of downloading apps is against forum rules regardless of the situation.

I sometimes had a similar problem when using Marketenabler. When I downloaded an app from another "carrier" and then on my default carrier settings the item could not be found when trying to update it...
