Market Upgrade? *Solved*

I noticed in the Liberated ROM that it's using the up to date market. However the CM 6.1.1 release is not. I did some searching and found this. But it's not working for me. I tried installing it from recovery. I also tried placing the apk in the /system/app folder still not working. In fact now market is missing all together.
I'm sure it's a easy fix but for whatever reason I'm not figuring it out.
*Solved*
What I ended up doing is wiping, installing CM 6.1.1 booted up. Then installed gapps-mdpi-20101213-signed.zip from recovery. I'm all set now.

Thanks for posting that gapps.

Any clue why that gapps file is so much smaller than the previous one?
The 10/20/2010 file was 16.7 mb, this one is 3.94 mb... ?

Because it's not a "full" gapps (sorry for the crappy screenshot):

So... install the Oct version first then the updated market version from Dec?

That would be my guess, since the Oct version has several things that the Dec one doesn't. I'll probably give this a shot later myself. Let us know how it turns out!

Just installed that gapps, wiped cache & dalvik just in case, so far booted up fine, market works good too. Thanks!

I some how found a way to lose this very gapps file and remembered posting about it. Good thing I posted that link
Too bad I can't thank myself :/

I thanked you for you.

New Market 2.2.10 apk

Here ya go guys, it's Market v2.2.10. It installed and runs perfectly on my Crackflashers AOSP Gingerbread ROM. It's also fixed some issues where I would have to download something five or six times before it would install.

Parse error. Please post in a zip.

Over 150 downloads and it still doesn't work. Any updates?

If anyone has an android central login, can you sign in and download it there and repost here?
http://forum.androidcentral.com/att...us-s-edit-added-apk-com.android.vending-1.apk
Thanks!

Here you go.

Blackrose, how did you install it?
I tried using Root Explorer to rename Vending.apk to Vending.apk.bak and then installing the file. I rebooted, but started getting FCs. I tried restoring the old Market but ended up needing to NANDroid. I am running Salvage Mod 9.6.

None of these are working.

Tried these and several others found around xda.. apparently its also being pushed to Nexus S. None of them work. Tried copying to /system/app and /data/app None of them in either place works.
Using stock 2.2 3.70 rooted rom.

I'm guessing it's because it was specifically designed for Gingerbread.

You have to push it via ADB..
ex..
adb push yourpathname\com.android.vending-1.apk /data/app
This worked for me.

Try this one. The one in the OP is for Gingerbread

I pushed this one via ADB, and while it opens and things look ok, as soon as I tap on a product I get an FC.
Is there something that needs to be done to initialize it? I did clear all the market settings before trying it.

Solution
Its not really much of a solution, more like an insight.
The reason why no one can install the market is because you flashed a rom without the market, then installed a newer version of gapps. The newer version of gapps assumes you updated and still have the market apk installed. The gapps file only includes the apk to update the market app.
Flash an older copy of gapps and then boot your phone. Run the setup and then flash an updated gapps. You now have the updated market.
Also anyone that was having the home button not working issue, this resolves it. Home button stopped working as a result of the above issue. You may have to install a rooted stock rom and then flash cm 6.1.2 and then your kernel and then the gapps in the above order.

It would be more helpfull if you pointed to an actual ansver.....

search refers to more than just googling stuff. have u searched through the nand dev section to find a working gb rom????? i would just flash pongsters hyperdroid gignger rom. fully functional, fully supported by a dev.

Yes i searched nand dev section but i disliked other builds.MDj's it the only one i ever used before(almost all his 2.2 droids) and i really liked it.
I will try pongsters hyperdroid gignger rom.
Thanks.

1. Not
2. GPS fix? .. its working perfect.
3. Robovoice, use speaker (handsfree) once, should be gone after that.
4. No sollution afaik.

i just flashed this ROM yesterday and my GPS isnt working either, did you have to do anything to get it to work?

Posted right above

I reverted back to MDJ Revolution Desire build.
Everything is working and Sense looks and feels more natural.
I'll skip Gingerbread and wait for Honeycomb.
Thanks!

is the GPS slow on locking on you or just doesn't work at all....? if it's just too slow, go download GPS status from the market.

Skype does't work strangely, any ideas??

Hi everyone
I am using blazan 2.2.2 of tiad8s. Everything is ok with the build. It is very stable. But i have a problem with skype. I couldn't find it on market so installed using an apk file. After i enter my user name&pass it says "signing in" for a while and wants me to enter my user id&pass again without any warning like "connection error, password error etc."
What can the problem be? Any ideas?

It seems to be something about the kernel.
It is working on the FRX6

First, if you're having a problem that occurs when using a certain build, you should probably post about your problem in the thread or on the site where you got that build.
But as far as Skype goes, and because you said you used an older apk file, there were a lot of problems with skype for android which they just fixed, like a week ago, so yeah, your older apk won't work.

I haven't tried skype on another android build on my phone so don't know yet if it works with any other android build or not. Maybe any other builds are having the same problem, this is the first reason why i started a new thread. As i said in my first post, i use tiad8's blazn 2.2 build which is really the fastest and the most useful one with every function working. I also asked about the same problem on tiad's website. But xda is more helpful about such problems so i am also seeking for answer to my problem here This is the second
I tried lots of skype builds,most of which still work on my brother's zte android phone. they are old versions or not, but they still work! But on my blackstone they don't. Only skype lite could sign in on my phone but as you know it is so unfunctioned

A few questions about Custom rom's.

I know this is the wrong section but I got some kind of feeling that there are more people looking in this section.
I have read some guides in the Development section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537'
But I got some questions about rooting/S-off.
Why is rooting/S-off necessarily, why can't I just put the rom on my SD and go right into recovery mode and boot it up from there?
Also the program visionary plus, I hate that thing so much.... At this step:
Open Visionary and tap temproot, then attempt permroot now. Your device will reboot.
How the hell do I open it? I use Astro File manager or something to go to the file but I can't install the program on my mobile/SD card >.<
Also what do I need to do more besides Wiping my phone? In this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769
It says to flash a Radio is this a must? Or is the S-off/Root enough.
Thanks already

No, the DHD has a protected system which precludes overwriting the system partition so without S-OFF you can not make any permanent changes.

Don't use it then the instructions here, achieve root without the use of visionary.

When I had the wrong Radio my battery drain was 15% an hour and this was with a sense Rom. imo S-OFF is a must.

Actually all of the roms now are running Gingerbread, and sense roms are on sense2.1 (With some sense3.0 elements).

My bad, when I was choosing which rom to load yesterday, everything i read said AR was still 2.2. Must have been old threads.

just for the record, nobody can help you based on this information. you need to quote the error message.

Haven't tried CM7 but if you haven't already flashed a rom I'd give a big thumbsup for Leedroids GB rom, very quick, stable and flashed like a dream

+1 for this. definitely give LeeDroid a go if you can. admittedly, it's the only custom one i've used to date (and for less than 24 hours at that), but i can't rate it high enough compared to the branded rom i got in the first place. amazing!

There is no error message. I just can't find a 'exe' or AKP file which will install the program on my SD/Mobile.

No, I haven't flashed a ROM yet since I heard there are some problems with ClockWorkmod of ROM Manager so I am going to wait for a few days xD

sorry to hear that. it's news to me, though. i downloaded it (CWM), and used it last night in the process of flashing the rom, no issues. but i understand the whole 'there may be issues, so i think i'll wait - don't want to brick my phone' line of thought. good luck when you get there. i'm sure you'll be fine if you follow the various guides posted on here. they worked an absolute treat for me (and i'm the definition of n00b).

So basically I'm screwed? Since I need to downgrade to root, and to backup you need to have root >.< but when you downgrade you lose everything xD
I will try it tonight ._.

If you want to back up the new GB OTA ROM then yes but if you just want to back up your apps then No, you don't need root.
Titanium works with root but doesn't need it. Also, if you ticked to let Google keep a backup then your apps will be re-downloaded when you next perform a wipe.

Using Windoze is great....
One word for you: Linux.
At the risk of high jacking this thread, have you installed HTC Sync? Can you connect to HTC Sync? If not, try another USB port (if using front port use back ports or vice-versa). If none work uninstall HTC Sync and reinstall it after rebooting PC.
If that works when you are in adb (making sure USB Debugging is on) try
Code:
adb devices
Do you get a result?
