Can't seem to install this. Anyone else got this to work?

Try to Uninstall the previous version with titanium backup

It works on Thunderbolt 2.2.1, stock.

I'll back it up with RootExplorer and try this out and see what happens. I'll let you guys know if it works on the N1....

Works on galaxy S2. Seems MUCH slower than the old market

Same. It works fine on N1, I did get an error at first but I got it working. Its slower then the regular market, but I like it overall.

The new market looks really good and works very smoothly for me.

Movie section of Market doesn't work with rooted devices
If your device is rooted, you won't have access to the Movies section.
Nice, Google, nice.

Working on rooted defy. Movie section is there. But not willing to 3.99 to test it. Someday. Running good though. Looks nice. Kinda reminds me of wm7

Working great on my N1... thanks for posting

I noticed that some apps vanish from My Apps in the new Market. I had about 4 apps to update in the old Market, two manual because of changed permissions. I left it as-is and installed the new Market. In the new Market, only the two apps without changed permissions appeared as updates in My Apps. The other two apps had vanished completely from the My Apps list. If I search for them manually they will still show up and I can update them though.

You may want to try clearing the data of the market app

Install the new market using the apk from android central.
I like a nice little improvement to the notification: it says "updating" instead of "installing" now
Yet, it is not performing fast enough... I feel laggy when using it. And the new UI looks like WP7 (though I personally like this new design )

so it's not just me thinking that it's really laggy ... maybe it's not the final version?
or maybe we now need a Dual-Core Phone to use the new Market

It runs fine for me on the N1 most of the time. The only lag I've noticed is when it's fetching the icons for the apps on the Staff Picks screen or similar. When the icons have been downloaded it runs smoothly. I like the Honeycomb/ICS-like design.

Downloaded Market from http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/07/12/download-the-new-android-market-v3-0-26-with-support-for-movies-and-books/ I am not sure when it will go live in my country so Downloaded from there..I love it but Kinda fell Lag.I think it is new so might take few days/weeks to fix it over it is SO COOL on SGS2 but I have a Problem I can't see Movies Option I think Movies option is not Available in my country yet

Yeah, movie section doesnt appear on my market using MIUI Rom.
Anybody else having issues with Facebook since switching markets? Logic says it can't effect of but since I updated the market, Facebook won't load. Happened immediately after installing the market.

don't be so quick to yell at google for blocking movies if you're rooted
it's pretty clear the movie studios wouldn't give them the licenses for the movies unless they blocked rooted devices
i mean, i'm not agreeing with the studios. cuz are they REALLY worried people are gonna ****ing steal ****ty low res videos off their cellphone? there's SO MANY other(better) ways to pirate these movies. but whatever

[Q] New Android Market Problem

Hi all,
i have updated my android market some time ago to v3.0.27, but when i load it, it goes straight to apps section, and i cant get to the homescreen where you have the different categories, i.e. apps, games, books, movies?? any ideas??
im running cool sensation v6a if that helps.

Unfortunately if you are in the UK then the new market only lets you buy and download apps, books and movies don't work
You can however download MarketEnabler from the market which lets your phone simulate different sim cards from different countries and you can choose a US one.
When I tried it it still only let me use books...
I'm using the original market because its slower and i don't want to buy books. The only thing I live is the YouTube video previews.
Dan,

Hey thanks for the answer mate. Never thought to try ME...... Cheers!

Finally, portrait mode. I like this version thx

Does this require root? Can someone post some screenshots? I am at work and won't have the tablet for a couple hours.

This new Market version looks exactly like the phone version.
Why have they changed the interface.
The previous one looked great.
Previous version - 1.0.27

this looks just like the new market on the android phones. i dont really like how it looks..... i wish there was a way to hide the movies/books from the market because i doubt i will ever buy/rent a book or a movie from the app store. i noticed no difference in performance. im sticking with the old market for now, but thanks for the download

Precisely the reason I renamed marketupdater on my phone, and will probably be doing it on my tab too.

I tried out the new Market app but had to remove it. It caused Earth and Legend to crash on load and I read a report that it causes Dungeon Defenders to crash too. I'm guessing these apps may have some type of protection that calls the Market app?
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk

I'm now running this new market on my a500. I must say that the old market feels cumbersome and clumsy.this is way more suited to hc and is feels streamlined...
I love it on my DInc2 it took a while to get used to but I can't stand the old market anymore.
I haven't run into any problems with crashing apps. Earth runs fine. I'm using honeyvillain's rom.

Does this improve any problems with the Honeycomb Market, like reviewing apps direct from the tablet?

Portrait mode is sweet although the market is really crying out for a customized view, wierdly though the old market is still available alongside the new market on my tab 10.1(overcome rom). Accessing app details is not very intuitive, clicking the icon for the selected app shows details but there is no visual prompt to suggest this(could be a BOB issue). No issues launching any apps so far.

What's the best way to install this? I would think to remove Vending.apk from system/apps, rename this file to vending.apk and put it into the apps folder...is that right?
Update: Nope, don't need to do all that. Just download and install
Update: I LIKE! Portrait mode, FINALLY able to click a screen shot for a larger image, everything flows very well, seems like this market version is even better suited for a tablet than a phone. Thumbs up!
Thanks for the download MJ-12!

3.1.6 is over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284647

Do you need to have the 3.2 OTA to make the new market work? Because I have 3.1 still and it does not work on my Iconia

yeah you can review apps from that tablet now

Definitely a better market than what was built in. It is a lot faster than the old one, which is especially impressive considering the very limited internet I have access to right now.
Havn't ran in to any problems with it so far.

Downloaded this And I still have old market and new market. 2 different icons.

market.android.com compatible with HD2?

I am running 2.3.7 with the latest Typhoon Rom and there is a limited time $.10 apps advertised in the market. 9 of the 10 apps show on the device but this app is on market.android.com but I purchased it yet it would not allow me to send it to my device... actually no apps will allow me to send to my device (likely because the HD2 isn't listed as a supported phone on their site.)
https://market.android.com/details?...mdhbWVsb2Z0LmFuZHJvaWQuQU5NUC5HbG9mdEE2SFAiXQ..
Any suggestions on how to get this game?

I was able to install all these 10cent apps except Asphalt and Swiftkey. So you are not alone with this issue. Maybe our HD2 is really incompatible (graphic chip) ..
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium

My phone appears as HTC HD2 in android market. Running 2.3.5 CM7 Typhoon rom. Can the phone appear as a Desire HD, or something else?
Does anyone know how to change this?

I've seen on Youtube that Asphalt 6 is plays pretty well on the HD2... I want to buy it but I can't see it in the market either.
I'm pretty sure that there is a way to change the identity, I think I recall people talking about it in the past when they had market issues with all the apps not being visible. I'd love if someone had a solution for this problem!

Install 4share from the market, in the 4share app type "asphalt 6 apk" download, (not all download links work so don't get upset if you don't score out of your first try) enjoy.
Furthermore, there WAS a market compatibility fix for the SD android version. I'm not sure if the workaround works for NAND as well. But try to search for it.
good luck!

After Dexter Mod, Google Play doesn't allow purchase

Just completed the Dexter Mod to allow Google Play on my A7.
All appears working fine, except that Google play will not allow me to purchase any apps. I get an Error ("An error occurred, please try again"), everytime I touch the price button on any app or music.
I've rebooted the device without clearing the issue.
Any ideas?
Oh yeah, this device is not on Googles list of supported devices.
Thanks

Update - Still no joy. Free aps download, but cannot buy
I decided to try to re-do the mod.
I first went to Google and deleted all my accounts.
I did the Dexter mod again from scratch and set up a new Google Acct after the reboot.
Going to Google Play updated the Android Marketplace to Play Store on the tablet.
Using Google Play I still cannot buy an app, but I can download a free one. There are only two apps listed anyway. Missle Command which I cannot buy for $0.99 and 8Track, a music app which is free and downloaded fine.
The first time I did this there were a bizillion apps available, although I could get to none of them.
Any ideas here?
***** Another Update: I discovered I can buy apps using Play Store through my PC for the A7 which upload fine, but still not directly thru the A7

Another Update: Success
Seems like after waiting a while and not using the tablet's Play Store, when finally returning, I have a full list of games and apps.
I also just successfully downloaded a free game (Angry Birds Space) directly from the A7.
This is good news!
I had read elsewhere that on another tablet (Samsung, I believe), ignoring the Play Store app on the tablet for a while would eventually alloe it to work properly.
Seems like that's the case here.

Wow, quiet group here! Lots of views on both of my current threads and not a single comment. I know everyone was just waiting for me to figure it out myself ;<)

Dexter has more than a dozen Mods for at least 3 OS on at least 6 platforms. Probably that is the reason that no one replied ??

I haven't been in this forum in a while just pop in once in a while, might find better help for the a7 at tabketroms.com, but any ways have you tried clearing the cache and data of the google play store in your settings?

Thanks for the recommendation on the other site. Everything works fine, but the device is listed as not supported by a great majority of the apps. It's kind of a worthless tablet, at least it was free.
