HOWTO: Install Missing Android Market on XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi Crazydip,

I have x10mini... THANKS A LOT for the info... IT WORKS!

But i have a one problem... i have no music in the library after i successfully installed the MARKET... But in my /sdcard/music... it shows that i have music files but it cannot be viewed in library of my default music player...
Why my music player cannot viewed the library files? In addition to this i cannot set a customize ringtone from my music library.

It works! Thank you crazydip!

By the way, my X10 mini pro with android 1.6 didn't come with marketplace, but it had an option to upgrade to 2.1. Is it possible that the upgrade will add marketplace to the phone? I didn't want to risk it to find out. Also, if it upgrade now, will marketplace that I installed using this method still be usable?

Thank you so much finally i am able to install market properly and make downloads!
basically the clue for me was to download superoneclick to root the phone, unfortunately because my xperia mini was with the last android version I was able to use ur options to root the phone.
once that was done everything was smothh!!!!!
cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sadly I cant make it work even though I followed your steps but not all of them since my phone is already rooted, I used rootexplorer to transfer the market apk file you provided from my sd to the system/app folder and still I got no luck :(

I have an xperia x10 mini pro running android 2.1, no mods just rooted

I unwillingly deleted the market app after I have updated it because I thought the update I had contains a malware of some sort sigh

proves Im a klutz :D

anyway any form of help that you can give me is pretty much appreciated thanks guys!

oh and its my first post
