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 )
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk

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

new market for tablets - download

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.

Grand Theft Auto III (On Sale until 29th Dec) £1.99

Just downloaded this game and it is absolutely amazing!!!
Especially with the fact that it's on sale at £1.99... I think the normal price is closer to £5!!!
Definitely worth the buy!!!

Sweet I downloaded it illegally off the net, because couldn't buy it, but love the game so just bought it from the market no its available :-D

I have strange lag spikes (lags for few seconds) while playing and on cut scenes.
Not sure why though

Not sure either mate, it's running absolutely perfectly on my Note.
I'm at work at the moment and all of my colleagues are playing on it and saying how amazed they are with the graphics and the fact that it plays as good, if not better than on the old PS2!!!
I can't believe they have squeezed the whole game into such a small file! It's absolutely crazy! All of the missions and all of the fun! Loving it so much! I can't imagine playing it on a smaller screen than the Note though! Feeling sorry for my iphone colleagues!!!

Also works fine on my Note, brought it yesterday for £3.20, so not a major price drop. Bring back memory of play it on PS2 during my university days.

Small File?
Initial Download is about 30MB, and then it loads another 450MB or so . .
about 500MB all in all.
CD size.

Guys, how do you get to play it if market says it's incompatible with Note? I bought it using the web version of the market and selecting galaxy tab it had on my profile that i used to have but no longer do but how do i get it on the note?

Mine was on the US market on my Note, purchased and installed without issue. I have no idea why you can't.

If both your Tab and Note are rooted, you can do a Titanium backup of GTA on the Tab, copy over the backed up files to Note and do a
restore using Titanium again.
You just need to download the extra 450mb file the 1st time launching GTA on the Note.
P.S. your Note might be incompatible if you changed screen density from stock 320.

Apologies... I guess it's subjective... I have movie files that are bigger than that and I suppose with the internal 16gb (aware that some of that is taken up by the system) and my external 32gb micro SD card, it doesn't seem large at all for what you get! That game will provide me with hours of fun!

I got mine directly from the market... I have a Desire, Desire HD, and Galaxy Note. I was told that it is only compatible with the Galaxy Note. Not sure why you're having issues mate.

Same here. I have the Desire HD, Wildfire and Note, and it says that the Note is the only compatible one. So i just bought it and it works fine

You probably don't play video games that much. Recent downloads off of Steam include the Witcher 2 (12 - 15gb) and Homefront (11gb). 500mb is a bit more than a DVD rip. Quite small really

No go for me either. The game wont show up on the market on my note and when I go to the market on my PC it says incompatible with N7000.

Ok, I've linked a screenshot of what I see when I log into my Android Market... GNote shows up as: "3 Samsung GT-N7000" I'm guessing the "3" part is related to the fact that I have a "3" sim card in my note, although I bought it carrier free from Expansys. It's a long shot, but could it have something to do with the name that it registers as? I wonder this because you said that yours just says "N7000"

I don't have sound

Works fine on my Note here although the day after I downloaded it, it had disappeared completely from my Marketplace. It is showing again now though.
I am running at screen density 240, plus I installed the high res/gfx file. All you need to do is go into settings and adjust the on screen controls because they shrink and end up in the middle of the screen. You can move them back to the corners and also double tap to enlarge them. Screen is still plenty big to enjoy the game, the controls do not get in the way, and the high res pack is a MUST for the Note!

Working perfectly (streaming Sky Sports etc.) on my rooted Galaxy S3, using Voodoo Rootkeeper to temp hide root

thanks for this.

sky go workin on sgs 3

Got it working?

Has any one tried to view sky go via hdmi cable to a larger tv screen ? i know sky have blocked this feature on the official app but i wondered if any of the hacked apks had disabled that ?

Keeping an eye on youtube to see if someone does that. I haven't got the cable to do it but I will be trying this out when I get a chance. Official cable is needed for hdmi output afaik. The picture quality takes a while to get to an acceptable standard but after a few minutes it's not bad. I'm interested to see if it watchable on a 40 inch lcd tv. Sky seriously needs to get the finger out on this one, 720p/480p would be awesome on the S3. A work around for a browser on the S3 would be one possible way of getting a higher resolution closer to how it performs on a laptop. A better official app is enevitable at somestage though, I'm surprised Samsung didn't partner with Sky instead of just Eurosport for the S3. Probably not worth the hassle for them. Stupidity in my opinion on sky's part though as it makes their services a whole lot more marketable to support more android devices. Wouldn't be too surprised if apple were paying sky to drag their feet on their android rollout.

There are checks that could be ignored, or made to return false, edited in a similar way as 'cracking' the version so it works on all version.
Since I its not getting past 0% for my I can't really try it :<

Stumbled across this trying to get SkyGo working on my S3.
Downloaded cracked .apk and hiding root but when trying to use it the app tells me it needs to be updated and when you click to update it it takes you to Play Store and says "Your device isn't compatible with this version"
Is there an updated version of the cracked .apk?

Hi ,
Just noticed this thread and thought some of you might appreciate this tip i posted in transformer Prime forum few months back regarding Sky go.
Long story short i love F1 hate sky so friend gave me one of his sky device keys and i installed on to PC (hooked up to 42" Bravia) rather than Prime as you can stream Sky go from the Pc to tab/phone using Splashtop.
So basically 2 devices only having 1 registered obviously not full functionality of 2 devices but multiple screens and add more by installing Splashtop on more of your devices .

Can you load non-amazon content onto 2017 Fite HD8?

They're dirt cheap today but if I can't put my own ripped films on then I'm not going to bother and will just get an Android tablet for a little more. I've seen there is currently no working root method.
Primarily will be for the kids for films so if I have to put up with a tablet on Marshmallow it's not the end of the world.
TIA

You can load anything with a USB connection to your computer. Whether or not you have an app that can access said content is a different story.
However, thanks to this thread, you can install Google Play on it https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/how-to-install-google-play-store-fire-t3486603 make sure you head over there to thank the OP

I picked one up on the Prime sale - its a well built little tablet for the money. The Prime OS is pretty ugly, though. Left it stock for maybe an hour before I installed the Google store, LaunchHijack and Nova. I know the Prime stuff is still there, but hiding it under the launcher makes a world of diference.

Just to clarify, I think the app you are referring to is called:

and there is a 2.1V
