[Q] So... how do we install the new Market?

Some of you will know that Google has released an updated Android Market. The original thread can be found here.
Now, how would i go about installing it on my tab when we still have no ability to flash .zip updates?

download the apk and run it on your tab all done.
Lordao

so i dont need to replace the original?
edit: just replaced the original, works perfectly thanks!

Got the update from applanet

Check the themes and apps section. Already posted the apk and how to install.

Or just wait a few days and it'll update itself automatically.

And if you don't like it, just go into Applications/Manage Applications/All/Market and Uninstall Updates. That'll roll you back to the Market version that was on your particular ROM.
The new Market just ain't thrilling me yet. For one thing, it's bloody SLOW, slow to load, slow to transition, etc. It's also more cumbersome to use, especially when updating applications, the button spacing is a mess, the "more" to see more application info is a mess (they should hide the comments instead), and the recently released "similar" tab is absent.
I'm sure it'll get better, but I prefer to keep the old, fast version for now.

I have a question: when I installed the new market (by launching the APK), it is listed under 'Third party' in Manage Applications. Is this how it really should be (compared to getting the official version from Google in a few weeks)? Not that it matters..

Got mine from applanet. Works like charm. No Hiccups.

I remounted /system rw, and replaced /system/app/Vending.apk. Works like charm.
I have also replaced other Google apps this way (Search, Voice Search, Google Maps and Street View).

Another way to replace your ROM version is to just install the APK from the SD card by clicking on it. Now fire up Titanium Backup and go to the Batch process called "Integrate updates of system apps into ROM" This works real slick and is really easy.

how did you replaced the other Google apps (gapps-mdpi-20101211-signed) . I had download as a folder....the new Market I have already installed and is working, but it was a simple .apk....can you give me some hints? my tab is already rooted. thanks in advance

Today morning opened up market, got notified that a bunch of apps could be updated...clicked update all...marketclosed and everything installed fine...but SURPRISE...the market too has gotten updated to the new one on its own!
Guess google is pushing out a silent update of the market to the devices...huh...

You have to remount your system partition read/write and simply move (copy/delete) the apks from /data/app to /system/app (they have different names in /system/app, so Market is com.android.vending-1.apk or something in /data/app and Vending.apk in /system/app)
Or you can use donate version Titanium Backup to do that.

Hmm... my market app got upgraded yesterday without a notice - a little surprised last night when i found it out.
Was it supposed to roll out yesterday? I didn't hear anything about it.

same here, no notice, nothing at all
suddenly it got updated

Strange...mine didnt. have to do it from Applanet.
Maybe I am using a non Samsung Official ROM

Just FYI. i am using JMA.

New Market

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.

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

Anyone have a Froyo Archos with full Market Protected App access

After the market fix has been applied I see most apps (including some that I know are protected) but not all. From my experience on the DroidX, this is usually an issue with the build.prop not reporingt a valid ROM to google.
For example, I can search on my DX for "wii controller ime" and find the app. My Archos 101 does not. (I side loaded it.)
If someone has a build.prop for an Archos Gen 8, that will see that send it my way please.

Can you tell me what you've changed in the build.prop of your DX?

ok, done:

This sounds cool! Is there a way a non rooted device can get this? Perhaps by some installation.apk
Thanks

Definitly not possible without root. I don't know if it's even possible with temproot
Sent from my A101IT using Tapatalk

Yeah, basically you need to fool the market into thinking you have a certified device. Not an easy task from what I understand. If you have a rooted Android phone you can download te app there, then use Titainium Backup to get the apk off the phone and side load it on you Archos. At least tha is what I do.

Hi chulri,
I follow your instruction above by modifying the fingerprint in /system/build.prop, then did the same market fix as instructed by the gappsinstall thread, reboot. I still can't find the gun bros app.
What else I have to do? (I had 2.1.4 rw root installed before doing this)
Now "My Apps" list is gone in the Google Market, can I get the list back?
Update: ok, it works now. I have to clear cache, clear data, force stop and then run the Market again. Now Gun Bros also shows up, and My Apps list also populate.
I still can't find Heywire app, anyone can see this app after this mod?

I have used archangel to root, then used marketenabler app from the market,
no other steps involved.
I seem to see all apps now (not 100% sure on that) but, definately see some protected apps that I couldnt see before and havent come across any on my HTC Desire that the Archos isnt seeing now.

[Solved]I think the Market Fix trick only work in old Market, it means you need to "Uninstall updates" after clean cache and force stop the Market.

Can someone please post up step by step how to edit the build.prop file ??
I've never done such a thing and I'm desperately trying to figure this out for a guide that I'm working on putting together..
I'm rooted (perma root) FWIW
Thanks a TON.

I use a file manager to copy the file to the sd and then connect to the computer via usb and edit with notepad++.. don't use windows notepad or wordpad as I've had problems with them. After the file is edited.. safely disconnect from the computer. Then I add .bak to the end of the original file and then copy the new edited file over to replace it.
I hope that helps. I believe there are also text editors in the market, but I like editing with a real keyboard.

Here: I"ve used the RootExplorer method detailed in this forum:
http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/154976-2-2-market-issues-use-mod.html
Also to all: There are two states possible with the Market. Fixed if you the clear cache hack, unfixed if you do not do it or if you undo it...(to undo just do the clear Cache path but add clear data....no need to stop googleservicesframework and no need to reboot...just restart Market app and accept legal terms). The difference fixed state gives more apps but will hide some others from you: you get google maps, zeam, ADW, ...but you loose Google Earth, Flash Player 10, TVU, .... Jus to name a few. So the key thing is to know how to quicly switch from one state to the other. use the clear cache hack to get into fixed state and use my undo rootine (clear data) to revert the fix.
Once you add the fix to build prop you pretty much have now 4 possible states:
Please see my post below for my tests on the 4 different states and some conclusions
http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=48312
Here's how to very easily undo the fix if you need to...
..Once you've done the Market fix you do not need to reinstall Market to go back to state before applying the fix. Once you do the Market fix you will gain access to few more apps but many apps requiring froyo will no longer show up anymore: that's the case of apps like TVU, Flash 10, .... (there must be many more). I suspect the market fix makes the device and generic device but not a froyo one.
To go back an forth between the fix and the original state all you need is to do this;
go to Settings --- Applications --Manage Applications ---Running -- Market ---Clear Cache ----Clear Data --Force Stop--Relaunch Market ---Accept Terms and Conditions ---
Voila. and you're back to the original State where you can find flash 10 & other froyo only apps.
If you do the the fix...you loose flash ..but gaine other apps...the fix skip the Clear Data steps ...and the Clear Data step will undo the fix. THe fix requires reboot..To undo it you do not need to reboot and do not need to stop googleframework.

I do this fix and after seach keyword "adnroid" i get about 143000 apps.
Is it ok?

Yes, that's fine...you good...fixed state, fixed buld.prop
but note you may still not see some apps with are available in unfixed state, fixed build.prop (like TVU, Google Earth, Adobe Connect, flash 10.01,..)
That's the con of fixed state...you gain some you loose some....

[Q] Nook Color - Install button missing on some apps in Market

I just installed CM7 nightly 164 using verygreens size agnostic walkthrough. I previously tried the very latest nightly and had this same issue: Everything installs fine, gapps setup runs fine, market is installed fine. Problem: some apps, such as Youtube and Facebook do not have an Install button to press in Market. I tried both picking them during google setup (fails) and not installing anything during google setup and then trying to install from market afterwards. I am able to install other apps, but these do not have the install button: youtube, facebook, google maps.. any ideas? I tried clearing the market cache and it didnt help, I can see the app page, but no install button.

Look around. Many many threads with lots of solutions.

When I rooted my Nook Color a few months back, a few market downloads came then seemingly automatically, then since then no market, I can download nightlies but no apps. I've tried most of the responses in here to no avail.
So I've wondered if I could create a zip file containing several apps and try to install them. My purpose would be to load apps on the Nook Color that would allow me to load files on the SD card and install from there.
I would prefer to get the market working, but I'm missing something. I've done manual nooter, download most of the programs that claim to be the missing link, tried several varieties of gapps, and some other suggestions as well.

Same problem. No install button for a bunch of apps in Market even after trying the suggestions listed here.

I uninstalled my current Market app and installed 2.3.6. Now my links are there but the Market always force closes when I try to install.

That is because the app is updating itself again.

There is a workaround:
1) Set your DPI to 160.
2) Make sure the market app is killed, and then clear data for "market" in application management.
3) ???
4) Receive bacon!
You will have to kill Market/wipe market data every so often.

I'm trying this myself (see youtube thread), and it doesn't seem to be working. Some apps will show, others don't show the download / update buttons. Market version 3.0.27 CM7 n168. Unfortunately I don't have any older versions of the market to play around with.
EDIT: Okay, I spaced this one out, forgot to reboot after editing build.prop. The full market seems to be working now, I can update youtube, etc.

[Guide/Mod] -Kindle Fire MAWR Market! *now with better build.prop*

Intro: This is my first guide, so be nice.. This will give you access to every app on the Android Market. I have downloaded apps that were previously “incompatible” and almost ALL of the gameloft, popcap, EA, etc.. games run without FC, validate, and download their additional data without failure for MY device thus far. It will revert after a restart, but its great to get what you want without having to do TB backup/restores over and over again for stuff you forget/buy later/etc...
If you have changes you would like to see to this guide, please comment!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: Feb 5th
I have been tweaking the build.prop for the last month or so, and have found some modifications that will boost performance and increase your battery life. It isn't an ungodly amount, but it is noticeable to me.
The build.prop is attached to the post now, instead of uploaded to an external site.
The old 2.2.6 market is attached for apps that show as "incompatible for your device".
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclaimer:
I take no responsibility for anything that happens to your device. Do this at your own risk.
YOU MUST BE RUNNING CM7!
YOU MUST HAVE ROOT!
I WILL NOT SUPPORT STOCK!
IF THIS WORKED, CLICK THANKS!!
Prerequisites:
CM7
Root
Root Explorer
Titanium Backup
Attached Files
Terminal Emulator
Lets do this thing:
First, the build.prop
We are going to replace the build.prop, so make a backup of the one you have.
open RE, and head over to /system/
copy that file and put it in a safe spot
Now we are going to put this modified build.prop in the location of the old one.
download this modified build.prop to your phone’s sd card:
open RE and copy the build.prop you just downloaded
navigate to /system/ again
click Mount R/W to give RE permissions to modify these files
paste the build.prop in the /system/ directory
if it asks to overwrite, go ahead and it will make a backup of the original called build.prop.bak
restart your device
Next, the Market
Now, we’re gonna get rid of, and replace some of the market data.
Open TB and delete “or freeze if you prefer” the following from the app list:
Market
This is optional! Do this if you are installing the old market and want it to not update until you restart.
Open up TE and run the following:
pm disable com.android.vending.updater
Now, we replace the Market that we had with the downloaded ones:
install and overwrite data “if it asks” for com.android.vending_2.2.6.apk
open your app drawer
open market “you should see the old version of the market”
HAVE FUN DOWNLOADING!!!
About the build.prop:
I had been screwing around with the build.prop for a while trying to find the best combination of fingerprints and such to put as to get the most out of the market. I discovered that the GT-P1000 “GTab” had the best results, so I changed the following:
Code:
ro.product.model=GT-P1000
ro.product.brand=Samsung
ro.build.description=GT-P1000-user 2.3.3 GINGERBREAD DXJPI release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-P1000/GT-P1000:2.3.3/GINGERBREAD/DXJPI:user/release-keys
I recently threw in the following performance modifications from various threads all over the interwebs. This combination works well for me. It is already in the new build.prop, so if you find a different setting to work better for you, post it and I will give it a try.
Code:
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1
video.accelerate.hw=1
debug.performance.tuning=1
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150
ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100
net.tcp.buffersize.default=4096,87380,256960,4096, 16384,256960
net.tcp.buffersize.wifi=4096,87380,256960,4096,163 84,256960
media.stagefright.enable-player=true
media.stagefright.enable-meta=true
media.stagefright.enable-scan=true
media.stagefright.enable-http=true

Thank you so much I have been looking for a successful attempt at changing the build.prop file before I attempted it. I am very glad you shared your knowledge.

Good deal! Glad it worked out for you.

Yeah it worked perfectly..I did skip wiping my system cache and everything worked perfectly still..once again thank you so much. Just in time for the end of the gameloft sale..lol. I really love it!

Dude I love you..lol not only did I gain access with the old market, after I rebooted and killed the terminal, I now how access to all of the apps with the updated market..it appears to be to the perfect fix for the market, at least for me anyway. I will keep you posted if anything changes. I know I still have access to all Gameloft and EA games. Bravo sir. The only thing I did differently from you walk through is I didn't system wipe before install the old android market.

This may work on the stock rom, but I haven't tried it. If it works out for you then I will update the OP.

Thanks a ton!
This method worked perfectly. I figured that it might have something to do with the build.prop's device fingerprints but I just never had the patience to try it.
I actually just skipped the market part and followed the replacement of the build.prop with a reboot. I still got access to apps I previously weren't able to see before while using the new market app, however Im not sure if its the entire market. I also skipped the wipe of the /system and everything is working fine.

The only thing I did differently from you walk through is I didn't system wipe before install the old android market.

Could you elaborate how you got access to the full updated market? I tried that, and I can't download anything from it.

Awesome. Gameloft's TinTin game now recognizes my Kindle as a 3D supported device.

I just tried this and the only thing that i had to do is copy the build.prop to /system, rename old one to build.prop.bak, set permissions for new one, force stop and clear market data from manage applications, then reboot. Everything shows up and downloads with the new market.

This may seem a little out there, but go to titanium backup and longpress the market app and move it to a user app. Attempt to open it up then close it, clear your data from the application details and reinstall the app from the zip on the OP. Install the marketupdater.apk as well.

Don't let the other users methods confuse you. If you did everything in the OP, you shouldn't have any problems. If you did, be more specific and I will try to help. No offense.

Don't worry, I'm pretty good with this stuff, but when he said he had full market access I wanted to know how he did it. I can confirm that it works though, I just had to replace the build.prop you provided, force stop the market, and clear the market data, then reboot, and I can see more apps in the new updated market!
