New android market problem

Hello, I downloaded the new markets apk a couple of days ago. It's really great and works much faster then the original on the galaxy tab. I was wondering why every time I click on the market icon it brings me to the original market layout but when I click on 'my apps', it changes my layout to the new one I downloaded. How can I make it so I don't need to do that every time? Thanks!

This is because it has most probably installed 2 versions of your Market app. Goto your installed app list and check. Also what are you using as a Launcher? i.e Stock, Tasks?

I'm using stock, don't really like any other ui for tablets..

Rename exisitng vending.apk to vending.old, reboot, then copy over your new one as vending.apk reboot and then verify.

I'm not sure we're you are getting vending. Apk. I understand I should change. Apk to. Old and reboot I just don't know we're I can do this?

It is under /system/app and you should be rooted to do this.

Afternoon all,
just bought a galaxy tab 10.1 but not entirely impressed. Feels a bit laggy to me. I have an ipad2 too which hardly lags and works flawlessly.
Galaxy feels and looks better but what would i need to do to reduce the lag? whats the best rom available
I notice the lag alot when i swipe.

Install ADW Ex launcher if you want to stay stock, or flash the ICS ROM, and kiss the lag goodbye.
You are truly not seeing the potential with tab with the stock touch wiz.

All you need to do is read a few threads asking virtually the same question in the past several days.
The ability/willingness to search and read will save you countless problems and repeating of question already answered and here for the finding.

Sockmonk3y's Sticky guide in the development section tells you exactly what to do. I like how he added a section right into the guide saying, if you want a custom ROM, now is the time. Sure helps know when to do it.
Personally, I like go launcher hd, which is just out of beta and the options to customize and theme it are almost non-existing so far, so I can't say its the best. I like go launcher ex a lot with So many themes and stuff to customize it rocks. But if you decide to go with go launcher hd later its a pain to start over.

I would suggest you root your tab immediately and if you are not too concerned with the Camera you should install ICS Kang from AOKP. But other wise best HC choice is GalaxyTask 14.
Galaxytask14 has some lag but the ICS roms are literally flawless and has amazing mods and one of the biggest secrets behind the ICS speed is that they do not have Samsung's bloat-ware.
So if you are one of those people who loves flawless experience at the expense of camera (until Samsung releases a rom with the Camera driver) ICS would be your best friend and believe me I have come from IOS too so I was always after total smoothness that I have found in ICS.
Hope this helps .................

To keep things closer to your dad's experience there's FishmanMod which is an update to a very popular Bionix -v 1.3.1 Rom. It will fly compared to stock but everything works and it won't be totally unfamiliar to the dad.

be careful, the GS4g and Vibrant may look the same, but their flashing procedures are a bit different. read up and then do it.

Adding on to xriderx66, use this guide if you need a reference when backing up & flashing a custom rom to your dads phone... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
Since he's already rooted start from: "OKAY, I HAVE ROOT - NOW WHAT? BACKUP!!!"

If your dad is happy with the stock ROM (with the exception of the speed) then I would definitely suggest going with something like the fishman mod that is based on the stock 2.2 ROM. That'll make sure he still has all the stock apps and such. I used Bionix for a LONG time and was always really happy with it.

I'm gonna show him bionix and see what he says

I suggest showing him Fish's version of Bionix for the mere reason that Fishman is supporting it daily, while Team Whiskey is no longer.
Fish is good at what he does. My name is Woodrube and I endorse this message.

Quick question..

My buddy wants me to root his Droid 2 and flash a custom ROM for him. I do not own this phone so I do not know how to do this on his phone.
Best place to find tutorials for root and clockwork? All the stickies seem to be outdated.

make sure you install the motorolla drivers, then enable usb debugging and put on charge only mode, use motorolla one click root and it should auto root for you and restart 3 times, then download droid 2 bootstrap best bet is to pay for it but i think its on koush's site for free, then install any rom you want i suggest my miui defx for d2 or a cm7 rom hope that helps

Or you could flash my new AOKP build 28.

Yea I definitely want something completely stable. Everything to work and maybe a custom kernel so i can change it to fit his needs. He said his battery sucks. So maybe undervolt..? He doesn't play games heavily or anything like that so that would be a good option.

Oh then defiantly go with MIUI or cm7. My builds orientation doesn't work yet. Sadly it isn't possible to install custom kernals.

Honestly, Galnet MIUI 2.2.10 has absolutely the best battery life I've seen for the D2. I've heard that one other--the name of which escapes me at the moment--is comparable on that, but Galnet and other versions of MIUI that I've used beat out CM7 on the battery front. I usually have about 60-70% charge left at the end of every day.
As far as everything else, CM7 and MIUI are both great, very customizable, and none of the crap bloatware from VZ.

And if Ubuntu is smart they will not allow carries to add their custom flair to it. Even though it is open source. It would get rid of the hectic of waiting for updates. If carries really want to have custom skin. Make it like ADW launcher where you can add it if you want it.
