New Market - Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps

Somebody tried to install the new market?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868767
Would be nice, if somebody try. I cant get it worked. Apk install fails und zip too.

just tried, the normal apk, and the update.zip
( com.android.vending_2.2.6.apk ) and ( Vending-2.2.6-signed-testkeys.update.zip )
doesnt work for me :/

No luck there either, force closes everytime no matter how installed (update, install, plain apk replace...). Logcat says the app is lacking GAPPS access permission (permission to access gapps account). Guess it's some API mismatch?
it supposedly works when updated ->2.1.2 -> 2.2.6. Haven't tried yet...

i succeded to run it on my milestone with CM6.1..but only for a few seconds. i cleared the data on old market app,then wiped the cache and put the new market as Vending.apk in \system\app. it started and i had some seconds to try it out..then it FC'd and did not start anymore. nice GUI tho! hope someone will fix it soon.

same thing happened to me, tried both the zip and the apk and NO LUCK

i managed to install it but then i get continously force closes and cannot get into the market anymore!

Your best bet is to wipe pretty much everything and to inject is straight away.
Or just wait a week or so.

I used appbrain to uninstall the Market update, then I successfully installed an app before market auto-updated and resumed its regular force close programming.
Crappy workaround, but it gets the job done.
Using TelusLite v4

Upon further testing, the trick is to open up the newly installed app before market updates. I do this by keeping the notification window open while the app downloads, and then clicking on the app as soon as it is finished downloading. Soon after, market will auto update and forceclose.
Reminds me of the old nintendo timing.

what rom are u using? imm running cm6 and i still have the old market

I saw somewhere a market that was either new or themed. It had a dark grey theme...not the typical white and green.
Does anyone know anything about this? Is this the NEW market?
Is there a way to theme the market?

Can anyone post old market .apk? I installed the new one and i'm not able to enter into apps and install/update them. Everytime I have force closes.
And didn't backuped the old one so i can't restore it.
I'd be glad if anyone upload it.
#EDIT
Got it. If anyone have the same problem as me:
-uninstall new market via app manager
-download Vending.apk
-put it to the system/app and install

Telus Milestone on AT&T, running TelusLite v5
try this:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Market
Hit force stop, then clear cache. Now hit home, menu, then load your market... should get the new one once loaded. Not sure if this works for everyone, but thats how i did mine.

Android Market Force Closes

I'm having a problem downloading and updating apps from the Android Market. As soon as the download is complete and the phone tries to install the Android Market force closes. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? My N1 is rooted and running CM 5.0.6.

Thanks man it worked. The only thing is that I have to do it every so often. It also takes a lomg time for anything to show up (i.e. searches, downloads, and just browsing)
Thanks
Worked for me too
Thanko you!
Finaly!
I didn't need to uninstall updates. I fixed this by just clearing the data in the application. But yes, if an application hangs at install it seems to screw up the Market app.
Mhhh. Yesterday had an app (Volume) that was stuck on installing an app ... for hours.
Thanks! Fixed my issue.
Thanks, worked great

Am I missing something? When I goto settings>applications>manage applications>market I can clear data and clear cache but I can't uninstall anything.
I cleared both the cache and data but once I except the terms of service it FC again. And I still have the issue with FC after every install or uninstall.
Anyone care to chime in here? I'm still having issues with the market crashing even after clearing data and cache.
Also I notice the market will crash after I set my USB connection type to data (connect to the computer).
WTF!? i have tried partitioning/formating the sd card and reinstalling cm6.1.1 and everytime i login to my google account and go to the market IT ALWAYS CRASHES! i dont have anything but 2 purchased apps that are not installed. clearing data and such does not help. even tried to reinstall cm6.1.1 with and without hdpa gapps but the problem is still there. i have flashed roms countless times and this is a first. makes me want to get a blackberry now.
Worked, but now I have the old version. Does it upgrade itself?
I've installed new rom and when market updates it crashes. I did wipe chace, unistal update and yes it works. I get back my old market. But after few minutes it updates itself to new one and I'm back at the begining.

Where is your Market update installing to - /data or /system?
Sorry but I'm new here. How can I see where updates are? Do I need to go to recovery and find market folder somewhere in -data or -system?
You can use a file browser and look in /system/app and /data/app to see if the Market is there - however, a better option is to use Titanium and use the batch options to "Integrate updates of system apps in ROM".
Once the Market is back in the /system it should behave a lot better...
-data/app folder is empty. I found Marketupdater.apk in -system/app. I'll try this Titanium and report back how are things.
Ok I've fixed it. You just need to select english language in settings and it dosn't crashes anymore.
PS: Sorry for bad english.

This is the solution for most market FC issues. Someone should pin this.

[Q] appbrain fast installer doesnt work anymore

I've tried quite a few ways to get access to known Market apps with no luck - even friends of mine can get them but I can't on my two devices (Wildfire and Pioneer Tablet).
Can anyone help? I have tried Market Enabler, and the Appbrain Fast Installer and Web Installer which do not owrk anymore
The one App I am trying to get and have messaged the Dev with no luck for the .APK is 'Andro Daft' - its free and not really an important app but hey, I like Daft Punk. Weird thing is I can find the QR codes all over the net but nothing finds it on my market...and I have already got one of the Devs apps -so he isnt banned/whatever.
Any and all help is appreciated!

Lol that's weird, i searched it up in the market and i can see it.
What rom are you on? Don't forget to clear your market cache and data after you flash his patch (latest one is v6.1 i think) and before you open up the market.

I'm using WildPuzzleROM 2.2.1 v0.7, cleared cache, reflashed ROM twice thinking it might have stuffed other things up. It even did it on factory tel$tra firmware... its weird cos a mate not even 40km away can get it but he isn't exactly versed enough to know how to extract an apk to email to me lol.
I have the same problem. I can't use fast web installer, i fount it on market, i install it, but i get this error.
I use Sympnotic's patched market on Cyanogenmod Nightly 60

[Q] Back to old market?

Forgive me if this has been asked, I've searched for an answer and found nothing helpful...
So the new market seems to be problematic, how can I get (and keep) the old market?
IT seems like when I uninstall the updates, its the old market for awhile, then the new market installs?
Also, some items (Netflix and such) don't show up anymore in Market... what gives?
Any help would be great, and I'll click the "thanks button" for anyone who helps me
Edit: this seems to stop the market from updating...
02ranger said:
I found this posted over at the HTC Aria forum by user mtnlion and thought somebody might be interested. You can turn off the market updater (which is responsible for bringing the new market back over and over) by going to terminal emulator and typing:
Code:
$ su
# pm disable com.android.vending.updater
This can be re-enabled by doing the same as above but typing enable instead of disable. I've tested it and it appears to persist after reboot. If you already have the new market you can go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Market > Uninstall Updates. This will revert you to the old market. Do it after disabling updater.
This doesn't stop automatic updates of apps according to the other thread. I'm sure some of you already know about this but hopefully it'll help somebody.

Doesn't fix my issue of the missing apps though
First post...
Are you reverting to the old market because of the constant FC messages? or do you have other complaints?

Reverting back to the old market because the new market seems to be missing apps (netflix, etc etc) and the fact that the new market looks (and functions) like crap.
I have no issues with FC's... yet.
OK, well I don't want to stray your thread because I'm having a number of other issues with FC's. I'll start another thread.
Good luck.
Uninstall the market update app. (I used Titanium Backup.) Then uninstall the update and you should remain with the old market.
I can't get any updates. As soon as I start to download an update to any installed app, Market force closes. Any ideas?

Nightly 177 from SDcard.
3.0.27
build.prop is as is
Any app I try to update or install new. Here is an example at random: Solitaire by Ken Magic. Tried to install, get the download screen and boom force close.
I'm an inch away from just nuking my card and starting over. It was all happy until I tried updating the Market to the newest one and it's been in a death spiral ever since.
Thanks,
Homer
What I did, was rename marketupdater.apk to marketupdater.apk.bak.
I want to say the file is in /system/app
Then uninstall the market updates.
I don't know if it has anything to do with my market working, but I also did LCD Density to 160 fix. You can find that here on the forums pretty easily... But I read that the LCD Density fix only works a few days.
Mine's been working fine for at least the last week or so with these 2 things.

I think you answered your own question. Uninstall the market updater app. (I used Titanium Backup for this.) Then, go to the settings for the market app and uninstall the update.
I found this but haven't been able to run the linux stuff from terminal emulator (Su fails).
So I can't say if this works or not.
facebookdotcom/note.php?note_id=279479622068267 .... I'm new so I can't hotlink
I'm on SD card to, with CM7. I'd love the old marketplace back, but also settle for having all of the download icons show. (I haven't been able to save edits to my build.prop).

UPDATE: Latest "Market" Now 3.3.12

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.

I used your second instructions to install it but I didn't rename it and it installed fine. I didn't need to change permissions or reboot, just touched the Market-3.3.11.apk after I downloaded it and it installed. Thanks.

I did this the first time i downloaded the .apk and it didn't work for me. That's why I had to do it the long way...
Are you on a Sense ROM?
Good to know that it installed fine for you.

Market is GONE !! PLEASE HELP !!

So after replacing the old Market with the new Market 3.3.11 by replacing the "Vending.apk" in the System... I cleared the data and the cache BUT after replacing it Again with the Old one... It's gone and I couldn't find it anymore in "All Apps" or "Manage Applications" !! the new Market gave Force Closes on most of the apps so that's why i went back to the old one...
PLEASE Help !!​
Try fixing permissions.
