Motorola Droid X :: Android Market VS Androlib VS Appbrain?
Jul 23, 2010
I just realized that I know a lot about the phones themselves, but I know relatively little about the app markets... (the DX is on its way, and is my 1st smartphone).
I have read a bit about the Android Market, Androlib and Appbrain, but I really don't have a good feel for what the differences are, what the strengths are and how they compare overall.
If anyone could help break things down for me that would be extraordinarily helpful. Heck, if we get enough solid info, I may even request this to be stickied in a few different places and you know you want some sexy spotlight

I was having apps hang on download from the appbrain market app. This was during an appbrain update. So I uninstalled appbrain. The downloads pending went through, but the appbrain update is now hanging in the downloads from the Android Marketplace. It just says "downloading." I can't kill the process. I have rebooted the phone, manually killed the process. I get this message: "Sorry! The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Then "Force Close." I want appbrain back, I love the service, but I don't know what to do.

I have had this problem for a while now. Some apps just refuse to update. Appbrain being one of them. It says downloading then downloading failed. I even uninstalled it and installed from market still no go.I have about 5 apps that just refuse to update and now i dont even have appbrain because it wont download it. Anyone have a link to the apk to appbrian 5.11? or whatever the newest one is. When i press cancel download on the appbrain page it force closes.

I signed up on the AppBrain website and down loaded the app, so i sync all my apps on there site and I thought this was great so I could see all my apps I have downloaded and now I log into the sight and I cant see my apps. On the side of the website I can see how many apps i have down loaded but I can not see my apps.

I looked but could not find anything relating to this, so sorry if it is a repeat subject.When I look at apps in the market or appbrain, I read the reviews before getting them. It seems difficult sometimes because spammers run around to so many apps saying "Great, I got the full version at" and it is the exact same thing at dozens of other products.Does the market or appbrain ever monitor their sites for spammers?

I've been trying to update Dante via both Appbrain and Market but they seem to be stuck on the download process. It's been trying for at least a week but no go. I've tried cancelling download multiple times to start again which immediately leads to a FC on com.android.vending. I uninstalled Dante on my phone hoping it would clear it out but no. I tried uninstalling Appbrain for the same reason, still no. Cleared caches on both Appbrain and Market no change. Shut down phone and did a battery pull same result. I'm out of ideas at this point any one else have anything? btw, I can download, update, and install everything else i've tried so other than dante all seems well.

I am seeing the app "Paper Toss (by Backflip Studios)" in AppBrain but not in the Android Market. When I had my MT3G I downloaded it from the Market.Has it been removed or am I having a "Market Problem" on my EVO?

I just installed AppBrain Market yesterday. I have done one phone power off since then. I was just looking in at apps in my System Panel app and noticed that the AppBrain market is listed as cached but is still hitting the cpu like every couple seconds. Anyone else noticed this behavior? Is this normal? I'm going to try manually killing the app.

I am trying to get my apps back after I got a replacement DX. I installed all of my apps with appbrain. I thought I could just re-sign in and hit sync, but it's not working. How do I re install my apps from appbrain?

Any way to get rid of it without removing flash? If I tell it to update it says "The requested item could not be found." and goes back to the appbrain screen. Not a major issue but its getting annoying seeing it in there any time I go into AppBrain to force-sync my phone to appbrain.

I recently read that AppBrain updated their app to v5.0 but that the Fast Web Installer that pushing apps to your phone from Appbrain.com WITHOUT having to go through the Market is broken with the v5.0 update because of changes with the Market's recent update.
Here's a link to what I read:
http://androinica.com/2010/11/19/appbrain-v5-now-available-but-fast-web-install-broken/
QUESTION: does the Fast Web Install still work with earlier versions of AppBrain?? I have kept v4.8 installed on my phone but I'm having a problem with the Fast Web Install. I'm not sure if I'm experiencing a temporary issue or if the Market update is affecting ALL versions of the Appbrain fast web push?

I installed an app yesterday, (appbrain web downloader) but couldn't get appbrain app to download, so I uninstalled the appbrain web app. Today I tried to update a couple apps, and niether would update- either I got a message that said download paused, with no way to re start, our it would just show it as downloading, but not making any progress. I tried to install another app off the market, just to see, and out wouldn't install either....
Tried-
Clearing market updater
Rebooting phone
Removing battery and re starting phone
going to titanium backup and wiping market data

After I upgraded to the leaked 2.2, and I've put some more apps on my phone, when i go to Appbrain, it still shows those *new* apps I've put on after the upgrade as "Cancel Install", rather than "Installed".

I would like to know if there is going to be an opportunity to have a(n) Android app/Store on line (yes just like A**le-*tunes)?
Appbrain is AWESOME. If you noticed, I know you did, that FastWebInstaller comes up w/ a note via the phone that it is not-operational b/c google updated the market w/o FWI able to preform.
That makes me believe that perhaps google is setting up this whole online experience. It seems like AppBrain is "hooked" up w/ Google (cause you use ur google sign in).
Obviously I dont have the skinny on inside info. I KNOW some of yous do.
Shed some sunshine NOT light on this query I have.

I've been rooted with Droid Mod forever and have never had any issues or never tried other roms it worked so I've stayed with it. Anyway I was screwing around trying to fix a problem and did a nandroid back up and and restore ( i'm clueless) Did not wipe info (that scares me) and I reflashed the rom a couple times because I kept selecting or deselecting the wrong things. Finally got everything perfect. The phone seemed to like the mini overhaul. But when I rebooted the market apk is gone. No where to be found. All my apps are there but no icon for market. Its just gone. Can I get that, download it desktop, mount, and drag to phone somewhere?

OK, I've seen different reviews that mention apps that you really have to have, that should almost be standard apps from Android Market. So, what are the top 10 apps, that are the must haves from the AM?

I just rooted and installed the latest stable Cyanogen; it got stuck in a boot loop, but a restore fixed that. However, I don't have Android Market on here, can anyone tell me why? I searched, but didn't find an answer.

Is anyone else getting what appears to be duplicate update notifications in the market?This has been happening to me for the last 2 days for Astro File Manager, and Panda Home.I have the latest versions installed.Yet the market tells me there's an update available.When I look at the version number of the update, it's the same as what I have and when I install it, the version numbers wind up being the same.Is this really an issue, or are the authors really throwing new apk's up there with the same version number? Or is there some 'minor' version number they're updating that isn't visible to me, and there really are small tweaks in the update?Curious if anyone has seen multiple updates for these in the last few days, and whether anyone knows what's really going on.
