[Q] Where's Yahoo Messenger?

[marcjw]

Been loving my new Gtab with Vegan 5.1.1. I've noticed several threads in which posters seem satisfied with their Yahoo Messenger for video chatting. But I can't find Yahoo Messenger or its video plugin on my Market (fixed).

Any idea where I can get a recent Yahoo Messenger app and video plugin?

When I use the Market app, I'm not able to find any of the Yahoo apps (Mail, Finance, Calendar, etc). When I log into Market via the browser, I am able to find the Yahoo apps, but when I try to install them, I get a message saying that they're "not compatible with my device".

Anyone know what the problem is?

Not sure if it will help, but try market enabler. It's more for getting around carrier restrictions, but it may be what you need.

Retry the market fix, as described in Part Three of

Lately the regular method does not work for me, but the Titanium Backup method does.

In my experience not seeing Launcher Pro (Free Version) in the market is a sure sign that you need the market fix (maybe again). Can you find Launcher Pro (Free Version) in the market?

There are two ways you can get all the apps you want.

Way 1

Use root explorer to edit prop.build... or is it build.prop? file in system. In line ro.something.something.device = harmony, change harmony to olympus. Then market fix again. You should see all apps afterward.

Way 2

Return or sell your gtab and buy an ipad 2.
