Can you find Google Earth in the Market?

UPDATE: this thread is not needed anymore. Everything is working fine now, read this.
I can't find Google Earth in the Market on my Defy.
If you can, please post here your build.prop, ROM, firmware, and all the info you can gather. If you don't know how to do this, you can ask here or PM me and I'll help.
I am asking this because I suspect there is a problem on the Google's side validating Defy's fingerprints, and with enough info from somebody that can find and download Google Earth from the Market, we could fix it

When i had the 2.34 blurless rom with the JIT update, i could'nt find that app;
but now with the chinese 2.2 froyo i've installed google earth in the defy through the market.

I think the problem came with the market update. When you go to settings-applications-market and you uninstall the update you will see google earth again and other apps that are missing after the market update like vplayer. The problem will be back after the market is updated again automatically.

Nope. I uninstalled several times the update, searched with the old Market, and Google Earth didn't come up.
@ellendel, can you post your build.prop? It's located in /system/build.prop and you will need root.

I was unable to find google earth with the stock Android 2.1 US ROM and the updated market. Installed the 2.34 Central European ROM (still android 2.1) and was able to find google earth in the updated market(downloading it now).

I found my build.prop. Is there a way to insert it from my phone using the xda app? I won't have computer access for a while.

Interesting. I have Google Earth on my phone and runs great (T-MO USA Defy). But I can no longer find it on the market and it's no longer listed under my installed apps.

That's the ROM that I have, and I can't find it, it's very strange.

Maybe you can open it with Root Explorer and copy/paste it? Or upload it with the Dropbox app to your Public folder and post a link...

Have you tried installing from here:
http://www.google.com/mobile/earth/...-us-bk-earthandroid&utm_term=earth on android

That just redirects to the Market, which says that the requested element can't be found.
Anyway, just to be clear: this problem is not about Google Earth. It's about Google not recognizing Defy's full specifications. There are dozens of other apps that we can't download. I just chose Google Earth because it's supposed to be available everywhere.
If I wanted Google Earth I'd just download the APK somewhere else.

I wonder when and why it changed? I can't find it in the Market either, but I do have it installed already. I downloaded right after I bought the phone in Nov.

Try something. Go to Settings > Applications. Find Market and clean data and uninstall updates. Try searching Google Earth in the Market now.
Don't worry, minutes later the Market will be updated again to the current version.

Found this on another site, not sure if still works:
view the below link thru mobile browser.. it will automatically starts to download and install...
http://sites.google.com/site/droidlife10/home/google_earth.apk
Actually just tried it on my computer and it gave me: google_earth.apk

Well, thank you. But read my other post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10650634&postcount=11
It's not about Google Earth, it's about why some apps are not in the Market.

Sorry, got lost on the journey. When I first got the G1 there was nothing on the market but a hundred different fart apps. (Yes, exaggeration). But I really did stop relying on the market and honestly can't recall where I got Earth as it does not show up as a market download.

Can you find Rocket Bunnies or Jet Car Stunts? Those don't appear for me, either.

Earth, Rocket Bunnies, and Jet Car Stunts now shows in the Market. I think it need to be updated (the Market that is). I happened to catch Lookout "Scanning Market", and I thought "Hm why?". As I looked up the Market in Applications I noticed the version was higher than the day before (I read around there was a new version, so I checked mine), so I looked up the apps that I couldn't find before, and boom, there they are.

You're right!
Market just updated from version 2002207 to 2002211 and Google Earth, Rocket Bunnies and Jet Car Stunts are appearing!
If somebody doesn't get the update: go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications. Uninstall Market updates and clear its data. Then enter the Market, close it, and a minute later you should have the new version.
Wheee!

I just checked its up now under free apps.

I reverted to old market since new market was very laggy on my EDGE network.I cant even migrate to 3G because in my country, 3G oprates at 2100Mhz band which has very poor indoor penetration,so its not worth paying premium price for 3G

Good.
blockbuster 2.4

not worried at all just an observation

The scrolling seems very laggy, also it looks like google is trying to save on the amount of ram the app uses by constantly loading and unloading images which really sucks.
The market would be so much smoother if it just loaded all tabs at once and cached the images

[APK] Google Play Store v3.5.15

Google Play Store (Android Market) v3.5.15
Requirements: Android v2.2+
Overview: Play Anywhere, All your entertainment in one place, Google Play is your one-stop shop for all your favorite entertainment.
ChangeLog:
- You now have the Installed and All tabs you can swipe between. The former one is what we used to have before - it lists all apps installed on your device. The latter lists all apps you've ever installed in case you want to download them again or travel down the memory lane. This is quite handy, and I've seen this list before in the Play Store on the web, so it's great to get it here in the mobile app.
- The All tab contains a handy dropdown with all your accounts (if you added more than one) and lets you switch between them very easily (as opposed to clicking Menu, etc).
- The list of apps you have purchased but uninstalled or haven't installed yet has moved to the All tab... which means it's now mixed in with the free apps you no longer have on the device. I'm not sure how I feel about that - on one hand, I like that it's gone from the first list, but ideally there should be a way to filter paid apps from free in the All list. Maybe someday...
- A few of the stock apps that apparently never got linked to the Play Store before got identified and picked up this time, and updates to such orphans were waiting for me when I fired the Store up. I've complained about this very bug in my last rant, and it looks like someone listened.
- Just like in the web Play Store:
# reviews now show the device used by the reviewer
# reviews can now be sorted by Most Helpful first or Newest first
# you can now filter reviews to show ones for the latest version of the app as well as made by only the device you are using
Installation Guide:
1.Download the apk from the links
2.put the apk on the phone ,don't use adb install *.apk in won't work it will say it already exists
3.Open the apk from the phone using a File explorer (ASTRO for example)
4.it will ask you if you want to replace the current market,press yes.
5.wait for install and voila you have the new market
NOTE:this method replaces the old market.

Troubleshoot:
If you have download problem after Installing new market do this
" Connect your phone to your computer,
set in usb mass storage mode. Look for
a hidden folder called ".android_ secure"
and then delete the file
"smdl2tmp1 .asec". Unmount and you
should be good to go."

I remember seeing my application history on my google dashboard, (sign into your Google account via the web to access your dashboard), maybe you can delete it that way. Not sure if you can remove via the play store...

Neat little app
First off, good job buddy :good:
Nice little app with all the required details, just what i was looking for. i got just one request to make. the colours are a bit saturated (too bright), and tends to hurt the eye more often than not. So, if possible just tone down the colours (more washed out colours/lighter shades), in ur next release.
A good job nonetheless :laugh:

I am working on a new version right now.
This will include a setting screen where you can configure the widget colors the way you like.
Please rate it if you like it. This will encourage me to continue working on the project.

New version is uploaded to google play (v3.1).
Choose your favorite colors from the setting screen.
Rate it in google play and spread it to your friends.

Installed on #SuperNexus build 5, and works great.
One wish though. Can you make it transparentable?

I used this app, but it was causing battery drain. Has that been fixed?

It's an widget, so find it in the Widgets folder not in the Apps.
Add it by touch and hold on it and drag it to your home screen.

If your are facing a problem of reading your external Card size or showing it as zero.
Send your external Card PATH to my email and I will fix the widget. I will include it in the next release.

Can you make something simple and similar to this app? It is called storage widget on playstore. I kinda like its minimal text and simplistic design but it has recently stopped reading my external storage device so I'm looking for an alternative. Thanks!

Google Search - Latest Update
v3.1.8​
Changes:
It officially brings Search version 3 (3.1.8 to be exact) that shipped in KitKat to all devices running 4.1+. This includes an updated UI, new refresh animation, among other things.
Because Search houses the Google Experience Launcher (GEL) inside, this update also brings GEL to all devices running Android 4.1+. All you need to do after installing Search 3.1.8 is install the launcher app from here, and voila - GEL for all, not just KitKat devices. I have it running on 4.1, 4.3, and 4.4 on both phones and tablets, and it finally looks perfect.
As I mentioned above, 3.1.8 completely fixes the wonky GEL layout on tablets. As you may have seen yesterday, several things on the Nexus 7, for example, were out of whack - the keyboard was popping when you tapped Home, the icons were old, and the Search box was off-center. All fixed.
Remember: GEL does support transparency in the navigation and status bars, but you need KitKat for that to work. And Google disabled it system-wide on the Nexus 10.
New cards:
Website update card
News topic card
What to watch card
Traffic incidents using Waze on maps.
Recurring reminders.
Real-time scores for rugby teams
See when your packages are ready for in-store pickup.
You can now bring back dismissed cards by pressing Undo.

I figured it out. I went and installed English(US) from the "Offline speech recognition".That seemed to do the trick for me. lol
As a last question, anyone know how to access the HTC one widgets? I can't see them under the widgets section.

i get google search force close with GEL . Xperia S 4.1.2

Works for me on Android Revolution 31.5, but is there a way for this to replace the locksreen? It's awkward with this launcher but the Sense lockscreen.
