Just wanted to second, this fix worked for me when I was having problems reinstalling Meteor Deluxe and Google Sky Map after installing Cyanogenmod 6-RC3.

Thanks! U couldn't install stuff for weeks but everything works now

Here's one solution that worked for me:
I installed Android Market 3.0.27 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166152
I cleared the market cash and Google services framework data as per the steps described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893538
Then the trick that did it was to disable app2SD under settings/applications.
I still am missing some apps in the market (Skype, Facebook, Google Maps, etc.) but at least I can install them from apk files now.
I hope this helps.
Cheers

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.
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.

[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!

Have you tried flashing Sympnotic's patched market?

Yes I have both the blue and green

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.

[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.

I have this same problem, none of the solutions helped. I got the APK from another source in the end.

Thanks for the apk tip, I'm new to android and didn't know about that. Facebook installed now

which application do you need?
Some other user could give you the requested apk for you to download and install it without needing Market.

youtube and facebook

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.

Uninstalling the updated market let me find and download those by searching in the old market. I also used Titanium Backup to uninstall the market update app first.
PS: Some have reported issues with the updated YouTube app so be forwarned.

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.

[Q] can't download anything from market

this just happened recently ... I can't download anything from market .... all I get it this message (error processing purchase) .....
can anyone help?? any ideas?? note that I have 3.1 rooted rom on iconia a500

This seems to happen a lot with the 3.2.0 version of the market. There are a few methods to fix it:
1) Remove your account from your tablet, and then reboot and re-add your account. This sometimes works with some people,
2) If that doesn't work, it could be an issue with the 3.2.0 version. You can try and remove it and install 3.1.6 - Here is a link with some instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284647

The link provided tells you how too. You don't really uninstall the old one. You just replace the vending.apk file and reboot your tablet. Make sure you do a backup first though!

I had a problem due to my own stupidity. I updated Civato mix with a one of his newer roms. I screwed market and despite several tries with various advice found in these forums I wound up installing Vending.apk and Finsky.apk.
I followed the usual instructions for a normal vending replacement.
Worked fine.
I discovered Finsky.apk was also being removed when attempting to delete Market via Titanium backup.
