Android Market?

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 don't know if it is only supported on Honeycomb, but I can't wait to get home and try it...
here is the Eweek article also:

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!

Dexter mod
Install the Dexter mod and you will have access to the market

try the slideme market just search for slideme in google

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 android phone with the market and dexter 1.3 on my a7 when I go to the market on the computer it gives me the choice to sent apps to my a7 or to my phone. I have my a7 on and on the internet. It will send the app directly to the a7.

A few issues
Hi,
#1 - I can't find Dexter anywhere.
#2 - My A7 will pair, but not connect with anything.
Any thoughts??

I just downloaded the latest Android Market apk file and tried this. It installs, but the app does not run. It just will not open. Sounded like a great idea!

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?

[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

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.

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?

Hmm this actually is worth the trouble. LOL

you could do it the lazy way and hover over the link on this website and after about 3s a qr code will show up

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.

[Q] Kindle Fire-Market (com.android.vending) has stopped...

Like many of you, I'm trying to install the Android Market. Every time I launch the Market, I get the following error:
Sorry
The application Market (com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please retry.
I've searched this forum and not really found anything that seems to match my problem. I found some things that are close (people for whom it work intermittently), but not exactly the same.
Does anyone have a solution or at least something that I can try?

I think I've followed the video more than once (although I could not find the link for Rootchecker that was mentioned).
I have Burritoroot, Superuser and Root Explorer installed.
Can you send me the link to instructions fro installing root checker? Once I've got that installed, I'll pick up from where Rootchecker is in the video.
IN the video you mention that the link is in the "Video Description" ,but I guess I don't know what that means.
Thanks, Mike

I'm not sure if this is an issue or not, but even though device manager reports that it sees and "Android Phone\Android Composite ADB Interface", When I open "Computer, it only shows "Removable Disk (G". When I try to click on it, it asks me to "Insert a disk..."
Any ideas as to why I'm seeing this and do you think this is part of my problem?

I still haven't resolved my issue with the kindle not showing up on my PC, but after going back, re-watching the root and android market videos, I was able to get market installed and working.
Thanks so much [-_-] for all your hard work.

Transfer market to /system/app then change permission to match the other apps in that folder. Then install and reboot.

Can't install drivers

Sorry for the noob question but I haven't been able to figure this out. I just bought my son a Nook Color and I'm trying to root it. I can't get the drivers to install. I already have ADB installed from when I rooted my Kindle Fire. Every time I plug in the Nook, Windows installed the drivers automatically. I tried manually updating but it always says the best driver is installed. I tried some of the batch files other people created but nothing has worked. Any help would be appreciated. I hate being locked down.

Just a question why do you even need to install the drivers? They are not needed for root and then after you root you can use wireless adb which is a lot easier to set up and use.

If you just want to installthe Amazon app, then why you head into the ADB over USB thingy? Who lead you through that way?
