New Android Market

Title says it all.
I wonder if someone has the apk already.

Wondering the same thing, I posted a thread in the themes and apps section asking this also.

Here ya go. Copy to system/app.

You beat me to it I just saw this on another thread!
Fir those that has downloaded it how is it, and can we vibrant users play the movies?

ty very much for that

Strange thing happened, the market downgraded itself. I guess its not the time to update yet.

A downgrade indeed... in terms of features. You can't view the permissions of the app before downloading now, updates don't seem to show up on top. There is a possibility that I might have missed those features since I'm new to this.
On the plus side, it's super fast now and there are more useful categories. I hope they bring back the old features if they've been removed.

I'll need to check that out. Thanks!
But how about the updates? I know there's an app that has an update because I didn't grab it yet. Lo and behold, the app does have an update button in the app details BUT it doesn't show up on top of the list. Maybe I'll try doing stuff like rebooting my phone.
Oh, and one more thing. There's no longer the auto-update check mark like before. Is it really missing or am I just missing it?

My two updates are at the very top and seperated. And of course you can see permissions. Click download and a seperate page comes up to confirm and shows permissions and more clearly I might add.
Also its only showing the updates of apps actually downloaded from the market. I too had two that weren't showing but they did in fact have updates. The reason is those two were backups from like November and I don't remember if I got them from the market or here.

All my applications that needs to be updated are on top also there's still an option for automatic updates.
This is really a good update. I just need a wifi at my house so I can now rent movies.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

So it turns out that all of the features that appeared missing (uninstall, auto-update, permissions section) were mostly caused by my apps losing their market links.. and being too quick to judge for the permissions one. After rebooting, the list of all my installed apps disappeared where they were in the "not installed" section before. So I think I'll have to find a way to restore them. It's either with market doctor in Titanium and/or clearing the market data, right?

I hear rooted users can not rent movies though the new market. Is this true?

(The author of that complaint is Supercurio, creator of Voodoo Lagfix)

Yup, rooted phones can't watch movies. I don't see them removing that policy because of piracy issues.
But it really sucks to be this way, maybe they should do what amazon is doing? Making sure that the movies will only work on the account that downloaded it?

Thanks EB for the link. working perfectly on SimplyHoney 3.9.1.

tried the market apk on the latest cm7 nightly, but when i try to open it i get the message "you must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?" so i choose yes but nothing happens i logged in to google thru the browser but no luck there either any suggestions??

After spending about 15 min with this, I have to say that this market is a nice improvement. The issues I encountered were all temporary (missing update button, security permissions lists before download, etc). Sucks that they decided to stop rooted users from video rentals. I can see why, but in the end someone will figure out how to bypass that.
If anyone has issues listing their installed apps in My Apps my solution was to use titanium backup to wipe the data of the market app clean + using the market doctor. I also had two accounts in accounts and sync and had to get rid of the secondary one to get to load up my default sync data.

You have to accounts and sync in the settings and add an account. Quite weird that you can't do it through the actual market. I never had an issue doing that in youtube!

New Android market

Hello,
For new Android market that is rolling out now, will we will get the new Android market even if our phones have been rooted and have custom ROM on it?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I couldn't imagine them doing anything specific just to (I'm sure only momentarily) annoy people with rooted phones.
If your market works now I'd say there's a fairly good chance the new one will as well. Although I cannot confirm it.

Yes, the new one works. I use it since.yesterday on my dhd.

Anyone else getting problem with it not showing your installed apps? Only showing 11 apps when I just counted I actually have 55 apps installed. Don't want to have to uninstall and reinstall all them just so they show up.

A restart and a bit patience sorted the problem.
Overall I like it. Would rather there was a my apps button on the front page but in not going to go on a murderous rampage because its missing.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

From what I can see it is a very data hungry application as it can take a while to fire up when network connection is on the slow side.

i still havent got the update on my dhd.
so there are different release dates between different regions right?

Ye, Google did say the update (which will go on your phone auto, so no need to go to settings and update) will be with us all between now and up coming weeks.

i hope the version that goes arround is not the final one cause beside being very laggy it is buggy. it broke a market link of an installed ap while trying to update it.
also even though it showed me one app being able to update it didn't allowed me to. clicking on it brought me to the apps details page and there i could only open or uninstall it.
i could onlly update apps if i had more than one by clicking update all.
p.s. oh and not to forgot: the amount of traffic it causes is extrem! a multiplactive of the old one, as if they would not cache the images of the apps showcase on the front page.

Agreed, same problem here, uninstalled the update. Don't like the new layout, hard to find things.

I have uninstalled the update and gone back to the last version. New one is almost unusable on anything other than a perfect cell connection.

Same here but i guess i'll keep it as it looks great,just a matter of few days to get habitual of it

when i click on download in new market it is starting to download for ages
when i reset phone it download the file immediately

Am I the only one, who thinks the new Metro-look (WP7 like ) is ugly?

I dont see any slowness. The only thing that bothers me is the updates. With the old one you could see the updates right away. With this one not so direct.

[Q] 3.2 market problems?

Is it just me and my xoom with 3.2 ROM... but I can't browse the market at all.... I'm missing the little arrows after "TOP PAID" etc. This makes browsing the market impossible... I can search and do see the staff pics etc. But cannot browse large categories...anyone else, or do I have to start fiddling with titanium...

Are you rooted? I have the same issue.

So Google has made the market on tablet unusable in a way.... the new market on my Milestone (Droid) works OK.

It looks that way. I'm gonna dig a little and see what I can find. It may just be a fluke though.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

Can not download free apps either.
The solution here and other boards does not work, remove Google Account and clear cached does not work.

It's some kind of linking issue in market. They left out the ability to see the tabs. If you search for an app that will work on the tablet it shows up. I just can't seem to find out why. It is like this on rooted and non-rooted xooms. They maybe working on it or may not even be aware the 3.2 update has this issue.

Helped.... so the broblem truly lies on the market itself

no problems here
I have a stock, not-rooted Xoom on 3.2, and the market is working fine for me. My Market version # is 1.0.28, if that helps anyone.
Edit: by "working fine" I mean not having the problem the OP described--I can access all parts of the market. But all is not well in marketland--I often have issues downloading/installing free apps. The "waiting to install" message will stay on the page while the progress bar grinds for a while. Sometimes things download, sometimes they don't.

So is this a 3.2 issue only? I have the same issue on rooted 3.2 with apps not downloading. I have yet to try paid apps versus free apps. I have only been trying free apps. im going to try a paid app as soon as I get my hands on that f_cker again.... or just say eff it and go back to 3.1... So it also kinda sounds like android wasnt ready for the 3.2 market update. ****ty..

I can download and install free or paid apps, my problem is the lack of good browsing of apps on the market...

Same here, the links don't work. This seems to be a problem with European Market. GT10.1 users are also reporting this, so it has nothing to do with Android 3.2 or Xoom. It seems Google has updated European Market, it now includes "Featured for Tablets" section.

So i'm still having this issue. Ive installed Amazon app market and can install any app just fine, paid or not. I'm even back at stock rooted 3.1 versus the custom 3.2 rooted. I started looking into a complete market replacement app that doesnt rely on the market to d/l apps with roughly the same amount of apps, but it doesnt look like there are any. I did however find this, and yes its a repost, but I saw no mention of it here and thought it might be useful to some folks. I can't stand the WP7 look the new market has but whatever if it works then sweet. I have yet to try it but once I get home from work today thats the first thing i'm doing. Here are the links for the the 'WP7' style market that all our android phones got updated to, which also works on tablets:
Here is the XDA thread link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166169 (this one has the apk link)
And the Xoom forums link with reviews:
http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-help/8687-market-issues.html
Try it and post back if it works for any of you as i'll do the same.
ALSO just make sure you use Titanium backup to backup your current Market app before trying this replacment. Just in case.
EDIT:
So more results from research, since I only have my HD2 to work with here I have tried some tricks to revert back to an older version of the android market, it is the same fashion that I will do with my xoom. I have downgraded my market and 'disabled' (really just changed the permissions) the market updater apk to not have it update. I can confirm that it works so that way when I change the market on my xoom I can follow this same process to not have the market auto update and just enjoy xoom sweetness!!
Here is the info & link for reference:

Figured out a way to stop the market from auto updating itself after you uninstall the 'update' to v3. However, I take no responsability if this screws up your phone and more knowlegeable people can feel free to chime in...
1) locate /system/app/MarketUpdater.apk on your android.
2) change the Read, Write, and Execute settings to none (was rw-r--r-- for me)
That should do it. So far, I have not had the market update itself and am able to continue using v2. I used Absolute System [here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.canvs2321.absolute.system&feature=search_result] to undo it, although I am certain there are other pieces of software out there that can modify system files and allow you to look at the data. You DO need a rooted and NAND unlocked phone it says to run the software.
Hope this helps a few ppl.
