Its in the market for download...
Gmail fails to install successfully
I tried first to update, and that failed.
I renamed the old /system/app/Gmail.apk, and it still failed.
Running:
Virtuous 2.7
BFS #4 Kernel
i also couldnt install. virtuous 2.7. downloaded, but install unsuccessful.
must be due to custom ROM??? i saw some comments that CM6 users also failed.
i was going to look for the APK to download, but it would probably fail too... need to have it put up on rom mgr
Forgot where I saw it but try renaming gmail.apk in /system/app to gmail.apb the reboot. Then install from market. Worked for me,hope it works for you as well. Edit: Its actually discussed several posts below this one..would link to it but I'm a newb and not allowed yet.

Hi, need advise on how to on back Busybox on Froyo?
I try Paul pre-rooted Froyo and also the Cyanogen one but I still facing problem mention that Busybox is not install when I opening up the MetaMorph Pro.
Anyway to solved this issue?
I can't use the MetaMorph as it keep prompting me I don't have Busybox install.
Apprieciate all help, thanks.
I thought Metamorph needs to get updated for Froyo? That's what I've been reading on here.
Anyway, I would've suggested what you already tried but you could also try Titaiunm Backup which lets you download Busybox.

After using Modaco Paul's 2.2 update, I still had root but no BusyBox, so I wasn't able to run Titanium Backup. I flashed Cyanogen's "Quick Rooter" here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686627
After that, I was able to launch Titanium Backup just fine.
You said you've already done this, so I'm not sure what could be the problem.
A) Did you use the "Stock kernel" or the "Tweaked kernel"?
B) Can you run Titanium Backup successfully? If so, it could be an issue with Metamorph.
@Paul22000:
You could have just hit the problems button in Titanium and it would dl Busybox for you. That's how I fix it earlier when I was running Froyo.
@Andrew:
What's been reported is that the old Metamorph (with thm file) works but not the new one.

I never try the titanium yet, I try the stock kernel, shall I try the tweaked one as I don't want pershoot .34 kernel yet due to unmount issue and video camera issue.
Actually I not ready need the metamorph, I just need a semi transparent status bar with clock and date white font which work on Froyo. (I don't might need flash via RA-Recovery as long as it working)

EDIT: THREAD OUTDATED, NO LONGER NEEDED
UPDATE: See post #5 - auto update market 2.2.7 !
Hello all, I am posting this so that people can have the newest FULL gapps package: market, maps, gmail, facebook, nav, etc, etc - this is not the tiny gapps 1213 that AOSP built, those can be found here or here. Jaybob413 created the zip for his rom - which is awesome - and I take no credit for either the rom or the gapps. All credit goes to jaybob413. These gapps are from his rom, which is CM6.1+, and they work on his rom. Since they are CM6.1+ they should in theory work for all CM6.1+ sourced roms, but I have not tested them on anything else. I do not intend to answer any questions, I am not a dev, and you should not ask him questions either, there is a Q+A section for that if you can't find help here. I am merely posting this to reduce all of the silly "where is the market?" and "how do I get the new maps?" threads that are currently clogging the boards. This is a flashable zip in recovery, and will of course overwrite your current gapps. The first link below is to jaybob413's rom thread OP so you can read it. The second link below is to jaybob413's mediafire account, so you can download the gapps (the old 1020 gapps are there too if you prefer). Good day.

If anybody is getting "unknown error 18" after trying to install apps, I think I finally found out how to fix it. It seems to be for apps that have the ability to install to SD, even if you are trying to install them to internal. If you simply unmount your sd card in settings (and for some it worked when they ALSO deleted the file .android-secure from the sd with root explorer, I didn't have to) - yes I said unmount - you should be able to install whatever you want. It looks like it's a google issue and they're working on it.
If I flash this package on my phone, will it overwrite my currents gapps?

Well of course, that's the point thanks for the question, it reminded me to edit the OP to answer this.
New info !!! The newest market is now 2.2.7, which many of you may know. If you go to a sprint stock rom (like nfx most recent), and update your profile and prl(also new as of 12/20) you will get an auto update from 2.2.6 to the newest 2.2.7 market !!!
so if i flash nfx sprint rom, install new market and prl/profile updates, nand back to cm6.1, will it keep all the new market and prl updates?

yes it will keep, and the market is an auto update, nothing you have to do yourself there sorry for the delay, haven't been on here for a few days.
If I flash this then take off the old gapps from my sdcard will everything still be on my phone?

If you flash this it will overwrite the old gapps, so you can delete the old 1020 gapps zip. Once you flash any zip in recovery it doesn't need the zip file to function after that because it's in the phone's system.
Thead closed by OP's request.
Wow, I've literally spent two hours trying to install ROM Manager on my friend's now rooted Sprint Hero. It was not in the market, so I cleared cache and all that. I eventually gave up on that, and tried to install via AppBrain. No dice. Then I just downloaded the apk to the SD card and got this message:
"Rom Manager Could Not Be Installed On this Phone"
Honestly, I've tried every trick I can, including googling for other people's solutions. I've found several other incidents of this error, but no solutions.
Any help??
The new version does not support the HTC Hero, from what I have heard. Try this version, I think it is modded to work on the hero. I have version 2.5.0.9 on my phone, maybe google that and you may find the apk, put on SD and install.
Link to modded version from AOSP GB Thread...

Or you could just use Amon-RA.

me too running taboonay 2.1
i have this problem too - and it seems others have too according to the taboonay thread...there are quite a few solutions that have been posted including
- deleting your market gmail account and setting up a whole new one,
- downgrading to 1.0.28
- upgrading to 3.1.5/3.1.6
- installing apps thru the website
- updating the rom to 2.2
- downgrading back to 2.1
- wiping caches, reflashing etc
but nothing has worked for me unfortunately tho i havent reflashed (yet)
I see someone has posted a new market version 3.3.11 so i'm about to try that, so i'll let u know how it goes in a few ticks!!
ok, its working...for now
right, this is what i did -
backed up!
cleared market data via settings>manage apps, cache was already mt
rebooted
d/l 3.3.11 from here and installed.
now, after i opened it had to do the 'accept' thing and then tried to d/l a game. I got a dialogue asking which application i would like to use and the choices were:
a) com.google.android.finsky, or
b) com.android.vending
i wasn't sure which one so chose a) and got an error "device not compatible" turns out "finsky" was my original market 1.0.28, so -
used the shortcut for 3.3.11 and voila i'm all sweet, woohoo!!!!
i wouldnt be sure that this is "solved" but it is working - i also have 2 market
shortcuts in my apps list and both versions showing in root explore and titanium
unsure as to whether i can uninstall orig. market
but for the moment i think i'll leave things as they are good luck
I am on a 3.2 stock rom and have the same issue. I have tried some of those above mentioned solutions except changing rom and different market app (I am not rooted so I can't try that) and none worked.
I have sent an email to market support and they are looking to it. But I guess 4.0 will be here before they find a solution.

Usually I find the way to fix this problem is to replace vending.apk in your app folder with a compatible one. You need root to do this, as it involves deleting/renaming a file in the system.
Just got the new Market OTA

I've yet to notice any problems. No FC's at least
Edit: Just installed an app, uninstalled it, and updated another one. Done a bunch of browsing. No problems found so far. Mine updated from 3.1.6 in case that matters.
Won't install for me, says package with same signature already installed. Tried uninstalling market but won't let me do that either.
I tried it, wouldn't update an app that was already installed, restored 3.1.5 and it worked right off. May try it again later...
Also working fine for me. Had to push it to my folder. Can do it using es file explorer
i just used root explorer, renamed to Vending.apk, deleted old vending, put this in /system/app then clicked and installed it,
havent run into a single FC or problem.
I just installed this. It went well and I didn't have to do anything special. Looks good so far, no fc's or any issues downloading/updating my apps. Running almost stock 3.2 by ezterry.
Thanks for the headsup!
It looks nice , much better then 3.2 market but on HC 3.2 it is laggy as hell and I tried it in my new rom and installes ok.
But , but , but , laggy and conflict with finsky.apk that is working together with default a500 market 1.0.28.
The 3.3.11market doesn't update my apps like it should and the only thing you can do is delete the finsky.apk to get rid of those conflicts , google maps don't update , superuser don't update.
So I stay with 1.028 market , better layout for me and no update problems.
Thank you for this! Works perfect.

I tried to install this and it went fine..but after installing it several of my games started to FC on me. Anybody have a clue why? Is it the cache that does it? Can I wipe the cache with CWM without erasing game data?
It stopped when I installed the original marked .apk again.
I've been running this release since I saw it on Engadget. It works but it definitely has it's glitches if you just install the apk in my case. (I don't have or want root).
First of all, the app descriptions don't show up. You see an icon and the 2 or 3 buttons (open, update, uninstall or open, uninstall).
Secondly, there are 2 market app icons now. The market that is originally on the A500, v. 1.0.28 or something like that and the new one.
I'm keeping the new one because I like the auto update setting as well as not having constant notifications for updates. But just keep this in mind IF you are simply going to install by running the apk. I've had absolutely no force closes and for me there' no market lag as others have stated.
