New Android Market, tested working on Epic

Hey folks. I've got the brand-new Android Market running great on my Epic running Android 2.2 DK28. It has not been officially released but has been leaked and hosted.
You can pick it up here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...id-market-apk-ripped-posted-for-all-to-enjoy/
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible if it doesn't work great on yours.
EDIT- Found a thread about this posted before mine over in Themes and Apps. My bad, I checked but must not have noticed it.

Every time I've tried to install the APk it says there was a parse problem. I've never seen this before as I've installed a lot of apks and updated my. Market manually the last time. I've tried different websites with the APk. Even tried it by downloading it on my computer and putting on the root of my sd card and trying to install it thru astro. What am I doing wrong?

I went right to the article I linked above through my browser on my Epic, clicked on the "You can find it here" link, which sent me to http://www.multiupload.com/B6Y171MCYU.
From there, I clicked on the MegaUpload link, http://www.multiupload.com/MU_B6Y171MCYU, waited the 45 seconds, downloaded it to the Epic, launched it, installed over the old Market, and started it.

Thanks! Works great!

Swype

Well, the Beta is now closed for Evo with the following error "Swype is available for the Evo with the latest OTA update!"
Problem is.... like most of us, I'm rooted and not accepting the OTA update. Can someone post the APK please?

Good luck, the MODS have already went over this. Even though Swype is now in the OTA for the Evo the apk is still not to be posted on XDA. So basically its still against the rules. Rumor has it Google may be helpful.

Ahh didnt think it's still against the rules still. Argh

I understand since it was a closed beta but now that it is an open beta, shouldn't APKs be allowed to be posted? Since everyone can download it now (except for the poeple with rooted phones )

Anyone know what the current working Swype version is?

It is 2.15

XDA actually received a c&d from swype, so until it's fully released, the apk's can't be posted. It's only ok if it's a part of a rom.

It installed swype installer, then the new swype. New swype was sweet.. But it had no dictionary. Nothing swyped. Went back to my old version.

Download a rom with the new ota. Pic the apk from the rom put it on your sd card, use a file manager to find it and install it.

+1 to that... Or just flash newest unrevokedforever.zip , ruu back to 3.29 accept OTA and install custom recovery from Amon-Ra that works with hboot 2.10 and have everything completely updated with root and nand unlocked...
That's what I did.

Why not just update to the newest "OTA" through one of the roms that are already rooted? This will include the new yet very old version of swype that the OTA has.

Hopefully they find a workaround.

Odd.. I had zero problems installing it on CM 6.1. In fact I could install _both_ the OTA release (grabbed a custom zip) _and_ the beta apk... the the beta one acted a bit odd for me.
Guess I'm lucky, or the fact that most custom ROM are Sense based the beta installer must be mis-identifying said ROMs as the stock build and telling you to isntall the OTA (which wouldn't be a problem for an AOSP ROM lie CM or miui).

I was trying to not have to go through the hassle but I have it now thanks guys!

I did that and all I get are FCs every 5 minutes and the keyboard won't work

If you have root explorer check to be sure all old swype data is gone, reboot that reinstall the apk. This happened to me and it fixed the fc.

Please excuse my ignorance but can you tell me where exactly is the old data?
Edit: a simple search helped me find where to look. Running swype beautifully

[Q] No Roms for Download in Rom Manager?

I have been looking around and have seen that some other phones are having problems with the Rom Manager not listing Roms.... I was wondering if this was an issue with the Glacier as well?
I have Rom Manager Premium, and when I open Rom Manager and click on 'Download Rom', it only shows a listing called 'Extras' and doesn't have any Roms.
I was just curious as to if this is just my phone, or something the Glacier doesn't support right now? Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, I couldn't find it with the all knowing Search

I too have this.....issue? I'm not sure if its an issue or not

These comments on the market irritate me because it specifically says that it is at the discression of the developers. I'm a noob and you need to read my brother!

I hardly ever used rom manager, just download to sd and move the file to where it needs to go and flash . What I do like in rom manager is b being able to reboot into recovery
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

I'm also having this issue. I upgraded to the Premium Version so that I could just download roms, however, whenever I select the "Download Rom" I only got the " free" listing.
I just tried again, and got an error message that said, " Error occurred while downloading the Developer list." When I hit okay, nothing appeared. Then when I tried to go back in to the menu, it just brought up the "free" option again...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

None of the Roms for the HTC Glacier are official
No official CM
No official Muni
No official Roms...
So all the Roms that would be available if you had another phone in Rom Manager aren't showing up. Just go to the developers page and download the Rom and boot into recovery. And Flash & Make a backup everytime.

I have a Samsung Captivate and have the issue though. . . .

I did know it was at the discretion of the developer, I was just wondering if it were only my phone... now I know it's not thanks for all the replies

I paid for the premium version of this but now I regret it bc the free one does just the same ........ cant update the roms or download roms soo whats the point?

who cares? I paid for an app to get the "PREMIUM" Features to which there are NONE... and there's no way to get the $ back at this point... it appears as if no devs want to allow their roms to be listed in the download section which makes no sense to me as it's easier to DL direct to the phone and flash from the phone........

Why bother? Devs are NOT obliged to put their roms/mods certain places. You have to keep in mind, you would be hard pressed to find a dev that uses rom manager and clockworkmod recovery, everyone is using 4EXT

HBO Go not compatible with the Evo 4G???

I just tried to install HBO Go from the Adroid Market website and it told me that it's not compatible with my device. It doesn't even show up in the Market when I go there on my Evo. Has anyone been able to install it successfully? If so, how?

I got it installed on mine, haven't tried to watch anything yet (data speeds still suck in my area) but it seems to work.

Works for me.

Some of you guys said you got it installed and that it works, but didn't say how you installed it. So anyway, my only guess is that it's because I'm running the leaked Gingerbread ROM.

Regarding the missing apps, I found a link to a file called fix.apk, which is a Market Fix. It's in this thread, 5th post down:
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/04/29/hbo-go-released-on-android/
You have to install it like you do any other apk, then go to your app drawer and open it(Market Fixer) and apply the fix. Reboot your phone and you should see all apps that exist in the Market.

Yes I did just now it works good.

Are you definitely sure that it isn't there? Considering that it does come installed stock.
Otherwise, install it from this link: http://code.google.com/p/synergy-base/source/browse/trunk/system/app/Vending.apk?r=239
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

You really should go back to wherever you bought it from and ask for an explanation.
If that doesn't work out for you, a simple way to install it without connecting it to your computer would be to install ROM Manager and then install Google Apps from there. I personally would take the new Market from the XDAForums.
Hey, if you are going to install the market, it might as well be the new one.

How can he install ROM Manager easily without the Market, and what use would that be? I've merely provided the apk, that's all there is to it.
To the OP, remember to allow installing from unknown sources under Settings > Applicationa
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

I see your point.
I was just assuming that if he didn't have the market, he probably didn't have some g apps either.
Doing it either way is easy enough, and in any case, and if you're going to install through an apk, then you might as well take the new one (that said, I haven't checked out your link as yet).

Does ROM Manager give a flashable package or a bunch of apks? Because again, if he isn't rooted, he can't flash zips either...knowing ROM Manager, I'm presuming they are zips.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

ROM Manager deals with installing Google Apps the same way it deals with any other ROM. It is a pretty useful thing tto hhave, especially because a lot of ROMs ship without Google apps.
So yeah, I'm guessing that you would have to root.

Sugggest you back to shop to ask for an explain. By default it comes with HTC Sense and all Google apps. If you sure it is not there, maybe the shop flash you another customized rom?

as far as know its the standard rom the phone came with
its wasn't root etc.
its not a UK phone its from Kuwait but it has English etc on it
i was wondering if it doesn't have apps market as standard in that country??
i got it online so would mean posting back, emailed them and that dont understand why it didnt have the market on.
