I just got my Dell Streak today and all I've done so far is root it using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997581
I can't install any apps, it'll ask for permissions and act like it's starting to download but then it goes into "pause" mode and doesn't install or download.
Any ideas?
If I understand you correctly, it starts to download, and actually says "Starting Download" but then doesn't download?
My solution to the problem was to delete the Market cache (Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, select "All" tab, then Market>Clear Cache) and then run Market again. This worked, but a side effect was that I had to install each app manually. No big deal...at least it worked.
Yep, exactly! Thanks, I'll try it!

One more thing to try if the App is hanging when downloading
Go out of the market
Start up GOGGLE VOICE and sign out of Goggle Voice and do it again start it up and sign out
Go back into the market go to the app that is trying to download and cancel it then click install again and it will download.
I cannot remember why Voice interferes with the market but goggle knows about it and that fix came from there website
Hope that helps
I have an HTC Wildfire with Froyo 2.2.1 factory. It did not come with Android Market.
I tried to install the following files that I found linked on XDA but they are force closing:
vending2.2.11-signed
Vending_original_froyo_1.82
com.android.vending_2.2.6
I just found a 2.2.7 and I will try that but does anyone know what I can do?
no root no market
As far as I know, you can not install market without root access. And factory 2.2.1 can not be rooted as of this moment. But soon hopefully we will have root thanks to alpharev devs.
Good luck.
You can install apks without root by using HTC Sync. I put Skype, eBuddy, etc on but I cannot seem to find the right vending.apk that won't keep crashing.

Its really painful to have an android phone without market app. The stock froyo wildfire doesn't even have a file manager. Just after the hard reset, everytime i had to download the "X-plore" file manager from market to access the sd card contents (and even to start installing apk files.)
Ok. U must have added a gmail account to ur wildfire. If not do it. I think in this way if ur phone can be registered on google, then u might have option to remote install apps from PC android market (or) even the android market from your stock browser of wildfire which has htc flash lite [using the same gmail account that is attached to phone]. From browser, just after clicking on the install option, then u will see device compatibility. Here if u can see "wildfire" then it is possible. Just after confirming the installation, ur wildfire starts downloading the requested application (provided wildfire should be connected to internet). If download doesn't start, i think this remote installation requires market application on phone.

APP BRAIN APP MARKET ACCESS:
Ok..... Irrespective of the above android market, u can access the app brain app market and install apps from it. This one also can be accessed from a browser for remote app installation. As the present "app brain" and "fast web installer" apps are available for free in market, im attaching those things for u.
--- First install the below attached AppBrain_App_Market_v6.02.apk file. Then install the below attached Fast_Web_Installer_v2.11.apk" file. Then open the app brain and sign in with appropriate account. Then sync the apps on your phone. Then go to its settings and enable fast web installer. That's all. Now u will have the direct install option from the "app brain" app or from the browser of app brain website.
And one more thing for u. I have extracted "vending.apk" from the system folders of my same stock 2.2.1 wildfire. When opened it replaces the market app on my wildfire.
So it might install the google market app on ur wildfire. Also attaching that file.
Yes you can install apks without root. But you can't install market (vending apk) without root. It is a system file. atleast I could not
I thought for appbrain to work properly you still need market installed on your device. I don't think simply installing vending apk would work. You will get force closes. But you can still try. If you can't get it to work, you can use slideme . You can get it from www.slideme.org. It does not have as many apps as market does but it is a start.
Good luck,

Thanks for the help all.
I will try the extracted Vending apk. If that fails I will go the appBrain route. I did install appBrain but uninstalled it without trying anything. I was committed to getting Market.
It does really suck that they would not give you a way to get Market if your phone did not come with it.

Maybe u r right. Maybe the enabling of fast web installer needs Android market licence agreement. But I think its hard to say these things.
To check this, phone needs to be formatted to remove the google/market account. It will try to check it when I get time.
Hope the vending.apk works

As a last resort you can flash an official WWE rom which has market in it. I believe this can be done with a goldcard.

Ok, i checked some things. I may be wrong, and pls correct me if so.
-- Installation from pc android market is the same as fast web installer. So, it will be like either both work or both doesn't work.
-- I freshly formatted the phone and added the gmail account. But didn't open the market app. That means i didn't accepted the android market terms of service. I think this case is similar to the absence of market application in phone. Now i opened the pc android market and sign in with the same gmail account. I tried to install an app, but the device is not listed in compatibility list. Same with the app brain here. App brain gets installed but fast web installer cannot be enabled.
-- Then i opened the android market and accepted the terms of service. Now i can install apps from pc android market. Also here the fast web installer of app brain can be enabled. Everything works fine.
-- Then what i did is , go to the settings/ applications/manage applications/ , then opened market and uninstalled updates. Also cleared the data. This makes the android market become stock one again. Now when opened, it again asks for terms of service. Now without accepting the terms of service, i tried to install apps from pc android market. And it worked. Also the app brain fast web installation works here.
-- If i again format the device, same thing will be repeated again. I need to accept the terms of service for only the first time to make the fast web install work.
-- And if we change the sim card, we need to re-enter the password of the gmail account again. And till that, fast web installation will not work.
I don't know how to explain these, but maybe google will be having details regarding our phone format.

What i said in post #4 might not work.
And u said u installed apps with HTC sync. Is that ur carrier disabled the installation from unknown sources. If it is the case, OMG u really need a WWE RUU. If its not the case, maybe vending.apk or the WWE RUU solves ur problem.
If ur hboot is 1.01.0002 , then u can go with this process to flash a WWE RUU

I will check hboot. I did try reflashing it with some RUUs and it told me version mismatch, but that RUU had a lower version number.
This is an unlocked phone bought from online. I can install from unknown sources, I just can't seem to install the Vending.apk because they force close.
It would force close when I launch.
Then I try again and it would let me in.
Then it would force close when I search
Then it would let me back in and let me search
Then it would force close when I try to install an app. That is as far as it will go as it will force close everytime I try to install an app.
I will try all this stuff when I get the chance. Right now I am using my Moto Defy which I wish would get Froyo
You get version number error because the firmware on your phone is newer. But If you create a gold card and install the ruu it should work. Just search for gold card tool from klush( I hope I did not misspell it). It is very easy to do.
Then you should be able to flash any official ruu.

Sorry, appbrain just won't work if you don't have the market installed, as AppBrain still lets the market handle all app downloads.
may be u can use 1mobile market beside android market.because it almost cover all application in android market.the good news is yo don't need to register anything to download and install in your wildfire
Device:HTC widfire with Cyanogenmod nightly
Update: 11/20/11 Unofficial Market update which brings it to Version 3.3.12. Better integration with the Music market. You can now download free music and purchase music as well. Sorry U.S.A. only for free music (?)
How to install: download apk and install like any other apks.
http://db.tt/0j3ii5Oq
Here is the latest (leaked?) update of the Market which brings it to version 3.3.11.
And here's how I installed it: I am currently on CM7 nightlies
Download .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk)
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access)
Move New Market .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk) to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first)
Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) older market .apk (Vending.apk) to your sdcard
Rename new market as Vending.apk
Fix Permissions (rw--r--r)
Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)
Reboot
Done! Whew...
OR...
Download .apk
Rename New Market .apk to "Vending.apk" (w/o the quotes)
Install just like any other apllication
Reboot (if necessary)
*I didn't get the chance to try the second option so it may or may not work, but it kinda made sense...
**not sure if (Vending.apk) is the same name for SENSE ROMS (I don't remember) but just make sure to rename it the same way...
FOR MORE INFO... MARKET 3.3.11
Sounds like a lot of work for nothing. Have you tested and confirm that you can buy a new app with this new market apk?

DL'd and installed earlier. I had been having problems with the speed of other 3.x market apps, this fixes those all, even on 3g. However, some of my installed apps aren't showing up (like Google Maps, of all things). I'm sure there's a simple solution to that, though.

Try and clear "market" data through the application settings and reopen the market. See if that worked...
from the "CRACKED" speedy EVO engine... Via Tapatalk.
It won't install for me. It keeps saying application not installed. If I use root explorer to place the .apk in the /systems/app folder I just get force closes. Clearing data doesn't help either. I have downloaded it several times thinking it was a corrupted download. I'm at wits end here. I have done everything in this post even before I read it as I have updated to all the other previous market releases without issue.
But for some reason this one just doesn't work. I thought maybe it wasn't working on cm7.1 nightli or or the evo shift but some of you have it working so that isn't it. Let me redo this and maybe format cache and dalvik see if that helps.

did you rename the .apk of the new update?
I had zero issues with the new Market. I just installed it like any other .apk. The new Market is very nice. Many small noticable differences. Like when on the My Apps page and you switch accounts it leaves you on the My Apps page instead of reloading the whole damn Market. Overall new Market is definitly an improvement and Vicodan should stop being such a hater

I did try that, but no luck. I'll probably just ignore it until the next time I flash a ROM. Then it'll fix itself, so that's fine. I imagine it's only going to be a few days until I do that anyway.

Titanium Backup can restore all your Market links. I believe there's also other apps designed just to do that too. Use TB or search for an app that restores Market links.

If your use titanium backup to restore or install your apps go into the settings and use market doctor. This will fix missing links to apps in the market that you have installed.

hi, i installed cm7 alpha 6 update 1 and the gapps app.the market wont appear on the app drawer.then i installed the themed app.it wont appear either.i reflashed the rom and still the same thing happen.help me please.
You need to install another zip to get the google apps, on the first post of the cm7 thread, there is a link to the file (gapps-gb-signed.zip)
Apply the zip via recovery and you get google apps

Hi,
I am kind of new to Android (not linux) and I am asking myself, if it is even possible to enable the search function somehow in Google Market.
There are several attempts to do so and some report it working. Unfortunately, the working reports are so old that I am confused weather it is still possible or not.
I have tried several Vending.apk's, even the ones reported working as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15084704&postcount=51
I am on 1.1.2. Maybe someone could confirm/disprove Market search working or not. Then we would know if struggling is worth the task getting it to work.
Thanks for the reply

Use SearchMarket.apk to search for apk's in the market.
It work's if you have registered your gmail account correctly (that is your market.apk works/connects to google play).
http://www.appbrain.com/app/searchmarket/youten.redo.searchmarket?install=appwidget
yeah no, that was not what i meant.
Of course Market is working with a proper gmail adress. I was talking about it being possible to search the market w/o searchmarket app. Like people telling it would work, but most posts are still of 2011. So my question is: Is it even possible to search the Market in nowadays Google Play time w/o 3rd party apps?
Why is searching not possible? IMO, it is because of server restictions, not because of the Vending.apk. Right?
So I assume these "claimed to be working" Vending.apk's are not working anyway anymore, are they?
Thx
How can I get the SearchMarket.apk file for manual adb installation? My Nook Market app won't let me install any app.
Edit: Managed to get it installed by searching for it from within the Browser and installing from the web interface. Weird but after that the SearchMarket app was shown topmost on MyApps in Market and could be clicked, which begun installation.
The problem is Market for Nook only displays a limited # (~15) of MyApps (given I have a Galaxy S3 with 350+ apps installed and that the Nook Market doesn't restrict to Nook installed ones).
just download market search from gstore ....... log on gmail acc that u root ur nst with and go to google store and search ur appz ur desire and download to ur acc ....... once u connect ur nook to wifi ur appz will download successfully , between that i am use market seacher on my rooted nst 1.1.2 and works great till now , try methid above with reinstall market searcher
good luck

The apk itself is free so i guess uploading it here is not illegal.
I recently uninstalled (deleted) the apks of certain android apps like gtalk, calendar from my system/app folder on my rooted NST using root explorer.
Not sure if it is related, but, unable to install any app now from the app market. I use app-brain app market for downloading apps.
I'm able to find the apps, but on clicking on download, it doesn't get downloaded and instead says it is 'downloading' without any apparent change.
Is the problem related to the deletion of certain apks?
Note: haven't deleted any apk even associated with the word download/market.

Solved it. I Had uninstalled gtalk thinking it was unnecessary on the NST but it broke the market.
Installed gtalk and the market started working fine again.
You are sure you didn't uninstall anything?
What is the error btw? It takes you to the download page but the download doesn't begin?
