Just on the basis of that one point, your only choice as of now would be WildPuzzle. Anyhow, as I replied earlier, market worked perfectly for me on WP, so, try installing again after wiping everything. (I recommend 0.7 over 0.8)

I have installed (and uninstalled) hundeeds of apps on my Wildfire, because I like to experiment with them, and, I use the Android Market from the wildfire itself to do it.
As I said, I dont know if a recent update has broken the market or not, but, when I was using Wildpuzzle before CM7 came out, Market worked 101% for me, right down from downloading, installing, and updating apps.
For your issue, you can PM melvinchng and ask him. Just read a post by him somewhere stating he has switched back to WP from CM7.
My suggestions:
* As I said before, try reinstalling WP again
* Try market remover from the patched market thread, and, try installing it again, then try it.
* Switch to another ROM of your choice, but I doubt there is any that will fulfill all your needs as stated by you.

I think you're a little behind on news and thats why you don't get his question - the market now has a web-based interface - here. You can install apps from there to the phone.

Make sure you're signed in on the market first. (ignore the rest of this post if you are) I had the same problem. Click sign in on the top right. Then it will allow you to install apps. (a dialog will popup asking you to choose your device, it will not allow you to choose wildfire for non-qvga apps unfortunately)
Edit: Oh and online market should work regardless of what ROM you're using. It even detected non-qvga apps (eg. Engadget) I had installed using AppBrain on Sense and then restored using TitaniumBackup on CM7.
Damn I was mixing up com.android.market (The process) and market.android.com (the WEB market for PC's).
Well, Ok, now I have the difference.
Anyhow, I havent tested this on WP. So I cant help you in it.

Hi gentlemen (and ladies ).
I'm having an issue with my Nexus One (and the misses with her Desire).
Both of them are up to date, stock rom, nothing fancy installed.
I (and her) are unable to install the new YouTube application. We can't find it in the market, nor can we update through AppBrain for example.
So my question to you all is: WHY?
We live in Belgium.
Extra: My Nexus One can't update Amazon MP3 and Voice Search neither.
All other updates work correctly, I just received the GMail update, so that works just fine .
Any suggestions?
I also cannot install the new YouTube app. I've tried a ton of times now, so its not you it must be a problem on Google's end. Should be fixed soon.
Youtube installed fine for me.
Maybe you have a version thats signed differently ? themed?
try uninstalling what you have first.
Try uninstall the app with Titanium Backup and then install from market. This resolves the problem for me

Yup, this is what I've always done. I had to do it with the new Gmail and YouTube apps.
I use root explorer to delete the app from \system\apps then reboot and re-install from market. Simple enough, though I usually still have to reboot between removing and reinstalling.
Kind of a pain but that's what we get for running custom rom's I guess
Well gentlemen, thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it. The problem is: I don't have a rooted phone. I guess I'll wait for Gingerbread, that'll happen pretty soon I guess
I just finished reading an article on Eweek that indicates that access to the android market in mow available for computers http://market.android.com/....

I shared your excitement but as I'm sure you discovered, it still does work! You need to log in with a Google ID, but when you do, it tells you that there is no Android phone associated with your account.
I don't have an Android phone but I wonder if I did have one and registered it, would the A7 then be able to access the Market?
Really, Google has made the situation worse because now I can see all the great apps in the Market but can't access them! There more bliss in the ignorance when I couldn't see the apps at all!

Unfortunately, I updated to the Feb 4 firmware 1 day before I learned of of this...so now I wait!
I went to market.android.com on my device. Signed in with my Google Apps account, the same one I used to sign into Google Apps services on my A7. It shows everything I have downloaded using Dexters mod marketplace in it's history or whatever it's called. Also, I can choose install on any non installed app and immediately the app downloads to the A7. I didn't get any messages about the device not being registered. it just seems to work. I am in Canada as that may make a difference.

You can still use Dexter's MOD, you'll just need to do a back up and wipe/reset the device before updating.
Is there another way to get android without Dexer's Mod? My sister is getting one of these and I want to install the Market on it for her but I don't want her to have root (If it were mine it would be a different story). There should be some way to install the market and associated services to run it with an APK file without needing to root it, like my Archos 70.

Borrow a friends Android phone, turn on its Bluetooth.
Turn on your tabs Bluetooth,pair them, use a file transfer program on his phone,download market on his phone when done tranfer it to your pad.A friend of mine did it and it works on on the free apps so far.You should then sign up with google account,before trying to get apps.

I have a dumb question! The mod by Bestialbub (What a name!) looks pretty simple, and it is what I am leaning towards. I really like my A7 and do not want to mess with it too much. I may even just decide to wait to see if Elocity comes out with an official patch. I just flashed my unit to the newest firmware. Do I need to do this again, as stated in the first part of the directions, or can I just boot into the recovery mode and flash using the file that I download? Also, what is the risk for doing this? Have many of you ran into issues with it? Thanks!
my market patch works fine w the latest update. check out my twitter under the same name for updated recoveries that will let you backup your rom, flash my mod, and restore back to where you were if you dont like it.
my mods a small one that can be applied anytime over the existing firmware. a factory reset should be done after that will wipe your data and let the google apps install properly on next rom boot.
i would suggest to wipe/factory reset w my clockworkmod recovery (on my twitter) as it should leave your internal storage partition w your media downloads alone. note; i havent actually tried that suggestion (reset) from cwm, but it sounds like a good idea.

I just ran this update, and followed the instructions to the letter. Everything seemed to go well, however, when the device rebooted, I see no Market link. What did I do wrong?
Never mind! I figured it out. The update.zip file I had on my sdcard was the elocity firmware file. I copied the patch to the wrong spot!! DOH!!!.;p).
Alas, Woe is me.
I went and loaded things (wallpapers, eBooks, games, etc.) onto my A7.... then I find this forum!
Is there an easy way (perhaps with a free, non-Marketplace, app) to back up all of this onto an SD card (or even a USB flash drive) and then re-install it after installing one of these mods?
I'm sure I could copy everything over individually, but there's got to be an easier way....is there?
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.

But the problem now is that my market does not want to download anything, keeping stuck on "Preparing to download" or something like that...
Did some of you have this issue ?

Might need a different version of the market app. If the above trick doesn't help, let me know, and I'll get you a good working version with instructions how to install it. I sometimes get that same error (stuck at downloading), but usually I have to cancel it several times, and eventually it get's going. Pretty sure with me, it's the Market site. They've only put out about 50 different versions of it, and when you get one that works, disable the auto update. Hopefully that stops it from updating to a newer version that doesn't work.

Ok, here is the market app I use.
I'm an old fashioned guy, so heed the instructions,
I assume you are rooted.
1. Using root explorer, or a file manager that has root access, rename you current "vending.apk" to like "oldvending.apk"
2. copy my market.apk into system/app folder.
3. Rename the market.apk to vending.apk (you probably need to only change the first name).
4. With your file manager, you can check the permissions (long press). Make sure your vending.apk has the same permissions as other files in the directory. Click the box as needed.
5. Reboot your tablet.
6. Go to Settings/applications/application manager, and delete the cache's.
7. This will make you log in to google market again when you start the app.
Should work, as the same version works for me.
EDIT: XDA, seems not to be able to handle attachments just now. They seem overloaded...... They can only handle about 200 users at any one time.

hi guys, as the title says...
I have cleared cache and data,
tried deleting my account and adding it again
reflashed my rom (taboonay 3.01.)
As soon as hit purchase I get "an error occurred. Please try again".
I can purchase via my phone and pc with no probs but not on my tab. Free apps are fine its just the paid ones, oh, and the in game apps wont either.
My next step is to factory reset but hoping someone may be able to help before having to go down that route.
ps I tried using my tabs browser to get to the webstore and successfully made a purchase - yay!! unfortunately it failed to download and the market shows no evidence of me having purchased it -boo!!. Emailed for a refund which i rec'd - phew!!
Which error code have you been receiving?
I know there have been issues with the market for a while now, and a lot of it is on google's side.
I had that on 3.2, same error.
What I did, was delete the current vending.apk
Copy in a different Market.apk, renamed it to vending.apk
Checked permissions to make sure they were the same as all other files in the same directory.
Then, go to App Manager, and delete the caches for the Market app.
Reboot, then do the sign in thing again for the market. It will eventually update itself. Should be good to go.
No error code is given, just what I posted "an error occurred. Please try again" as soon as I hit "Accept and Download".
I emailed googleplay support who inferred that my custom rom was at fault,typical support answer!! no-one else running taboonay seem to have issues so will wait a few days and try a full wipe an' format.
@moscow - thanks will try your suggestion first moscow, cheers
edit: seems there are some peeps psoting the same issue in the taboonay thread - i should have begun reading the newer posts, rather than older ones first...
new googleplay update 3.5.15
apparently there has been an update to googleplay i don't know when and not sure which version i currently running - not until i get home anyway.
i got the apk from droid-life if anyone wants it
I'm getting the same errors . Anyone have any ideas?
Tried moscows suggestion but no joy
So, factory reset, full wipe and full format and still no joy...
fixed...sorta
k, i just restored an icylicious backup and success!!! Heaven knows why it wont work on taboonay for some of us - anyways, if anyone comes up with a proper solution pls feel free to post it...
Did you try to download a free app first and then a payed one ?
I never had market problems and I flash almost every day clean install for testing.
I would suggest to keep trying and first a free app.
I added the phonesky.apk (original acer vending app) ,
First remove the playstore or vending app (depending on what it is called) in system/app with file manager with root.
Then copy / paste the phonesky.apk in that system/app folder and reboot but make sure before you do this all to clear cache and data of market app in settings apps.

First remove the playstore or vending app (depending on what it is called) in system/app with file manager with root.
Then copy / paste the phonesky.apk in that system/app folder and reboot
but make sure before you do this all to clear cache and data of market app in settings apps.

thanks for trying civ - i think i did the steps as you meant them to be done - it just won't work... I really wanna keep taboonay so looks like I'll have to switch to icylicious to purchase and install and then switch back to taboonay - weird!!!
I've been using the browser to go to https://play.google.com/store and buy from there.

Yes, that is an option, Are u on taboonay? -I tried the webstore but it gives me 9 or 10 different devices for my one and only tab!! I picked one and tho the purchase went thru fine - it never downloaded to tab so dunno where it ended up. Becoz it never actually got to my tab, I never got the refund option - had to email support for that, so i figure its easier to switch roms
Something that seemed to work for me
EDIT: It was crazy just tried to buy xda app and failed...... Ignore the rest of this post!!!
It might sound a bit crazy, but after doing a full format have you tried installing a HC ROM and making a purchase / downloading something free, then installing Tabooney 3.0.1 again? I had a ROM that was causing me the same issues + many others with certain apps I use alot, so I scrapped ICS for a month or so and used a couple of other ROMS (all HC) then tried Tabooney again. Amazingly it worked and purchases went through... Maybe not 'everythnig' is fully cleared out and installing a HC ROM killed the issue?? Not too sure, but I no longer have purchasing issues on my Desire HD or A500 with ICS... Just rage face when apps crash and playstore shuts and random stuff stops responding for a few seconds! (just removed ICS from my A500 after the GPS once again started teleporting me into fields and other roads from what i was on again... dam I want to be able to have a solid ICS ROM )
Anyways hope that helps someone

I am on Taboonay. When you pull the drop down menu for the devices, there should be a date you used it last next to each. I think there used to be a way to remove old device names from the list but I can't recall where or how right now.

k, i used the latest date and tried to install a previously purchased app, got the "will be d/l to your device shortly" after 30 mins I'm still waiting...
one thing I've noticed, I d/l a couple of free apps from the playstore on my tab. They are installed. The webstore however, shows them in 'My Apps' but to install only - therefore, they are not installed according to the webstore. So, I'm thinking perhaps the devices that are showing are ones that I have registered thru acer when I have intalled a new rom??? does that make sense - I know what I'm trying to say just not sure its comin out right, lol.
If i download apps in the market/playstore but the webstore don't see them as installed AND trying to d/l from the webstore to a "device" leaves me waiting, waiting, waiting. Then the webstore is not seeing the current "device" that I'm using??? Maybe becoz its not registered???? If u r on taboonay could u check to see if this is the case for you???
EDIT: I went to acer to register. Entered my SNID and it tells me it is INVALID...the plot thickens....

I tried the lightspeed rom last nite seemed to work well, i can purchase apps with it anyway!! I haven't suffered the SOD issue with this or icylicious or even taboonay so I guess I can be thankful for that at least...
Actually, after thinking about this, the latest date that shows might be the one you chose in the online store before, the one that didn't work. Try this- go into the google play app and Install a free app. Doesn't matter which one. Then, go to the online store and see if the name of the latest used device is any different. Mine is called Acer A500 by the store, if that helps.
I have a different issue.. I have rooted my A501, flashes moscow's alexandria rom, activated market enabler but still no luck in buying paid apps.. "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found"
Any help?

So far I haven't encountered other errors.
