The Market might be named "Play Store" or "Play Shop" FYI
You have to download gapps and flash it in your device.

He said he's running Froyo, I'm assuming stock
Try to download GAPPS via your phones browser and install it. Had the same problem and it worked.

Like I said, he's running stock, therefore no recovery
Just sideload an apk (download it from the internet) and install it, should work

You'll have to root it. Install a stable GB ROM.
Yeah its easy to root such low android version, oh and get S-OFF while you're on it

Just a heads up guys, if you dont have it i would recommend upgrading it. In the new version it only clears up some security issues, no changes. But its definitely worth having and downloading!
http://erictric.com/2011/01/16/download-now-android-market-2-2-11/
Yeah,it`s nice!
Have it installed since yesterday.
It`s included in latest gapps package for Gingerbread CM7!
Aww boo, you had it a day earlier than me! Haha
But yeah, real nice! Haha

I have to push this via adb, right?
Can anyone help me out with the command?
Or is there any way I can install this directly from my phone? Because the package installer refuses to install a system app...
(My device is rooted, so shouldn't it be possible to install this apk using terminal emulator?)

If it won't install via apk, try clearing ur market cache before install.
If that doesn't work, just put the zip (not apk) on ur sdcard and flash it in recovery.

Does this work on CM 6.1.1 Stable? I've tried installing this from other XDA threads, and I can get it installed but it always FCs on me when I try launching it.
Hello netflix has worked fine up until today on my droidx they updated it and when u open it it says new version needs installed to run. sends u to market but since droidx isnt officially supported cant see it. can someone with an htc or something download it and post here.
Name of file i was running was the .com.mediaclient.2 so the one we need was just released today.
Thanks

Well, it doesn't work on mine.
Netflix no longer works on either of my DX or my Optimus, used to work on both.
I cannot see the "stock" app in the Android Market, but I did run it from a link, the Netflix selection comes up, but when I play a video, after "Loading...."I get an error 1101 "sorry we could not reach the netflix service."
I have also tried running a modified version that did work previously for some, just not for me.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
Thanks got it to work again. I dont know if i used that file on that link i posted a couple different places and download 4 diff suggestions 1 of the 4 worked. Like I said it worked fine up untili yesterday since i put it on then out of blue sorry new version available and sent me to market but nothing in market cause of droidx.
I updated to the 595 leak when it first came out and so i lost root. I know i could gingerbreak it but i installed gingerbreak but didnt run it until i decided somem came accross me where i needed root access . so mines not rooted and ive been running for weeks up until yesterday but its back up again !!
Thanks to eveyrone who contributed in this section !!!!!

You need to uninstall the old version first....then load the updated...I've done about 10 phones since the update, all working fine, (most are DX).
Works perfect.
Netflix was just updated today (June 16) and it now natively supports the Droid X. No more hacks! Just search for it on the Market and enjoy.
Hi,
I'm trying to download a game, but I installed ICS (latest kang) and obviously it's thinking I'm running 4.0.1 and the game won't run on this. Is there a way to edit build.prop or any other file so I can buy the game before the rebate ends.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: All I'm trying to know is if it's possible to change a file to make the Market app think I'm running something like 2.3.4 so I can buy the app??

Do a backup in CWM and install a GB rom, buy the app and restore your ICS rom in CWM. The long but sure way to get there..

but make sure u backup the app with titanium before you restore ics. Because still you won't be able to download from market.

Oh well, I thought about that, but I hope there would have been a faster way.
Still thanks everyone
Have you tried to browse to market.android.com on your PC and buy it there? Yesterday I couldn't buy an app on my phone, for me it worked that way.
you're lucky....at least your phone has a reason to think it's not compatible....I'm running stock 2.3.4 and I get that error message for at least 75% of the apps in the market....including gmail, etc. It's obnoxious!!!
Seriously, this isn't even a dump from online or anything...this is my original ROM backup restored via CWM that is doing it.
It thinks you're running 4.0.1? If you are running ICS euroskank kang you ARE running 4.0.1....
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
But really, don't use ICS as daily driver, it's way too buggy and slow. Very soon we will have the ICS OTA and then things will be different.. I hope..

Just bought our 2 nexus 7 tablets today....We want to root them but haven't yet. I was trying to update the FLASH to the latest as one of my websites and one game wanted me to do that. I was taken to the google paly and there was a message that the lastest FLASH can NOT be installed on this device and I read that it is NOT support for OS over Ice Cream 4.0? Can some one tell me what I can do? Do I have to root to do this?
Thanks

No, you don't have to root to install flash. You have to download the apk and install it, that's all.

I did root my nexus 7 and I did install flash by sideloading...but I get a blue box sometimes and other times I get the message that I need to upgrade flash...I used Dolphin HD browser on the nextus and chrome and the same thing happens in both.
Somewhere I read something about renaming two files...don't remember where I read that or what two file. I do know I didn't do it because 1. I wasn't able at the time to find the files 2. it didn't say what to rename them????
Any suggestions on what I have to do...my nexus 7 is now updated to 4.1.2
Thanks

Downloading will try it
Downloading and backup up my current ROM. Will try.
**edit*
Tried twice, after wipe (both times) first try I installed the the VISIONFLASHFIRST (did this change my version of ext4?), flashed ROM (RandomROMv101.zip) and OTA (OTARandomROMDesireHD1222.zip) rebooted and waited > 45min and stuck on htc One white screen. Second try I wiped and only flashed the ROM and same results.
My options was the sms on lock screen, and I selected (which I guess does not remove) all apps that didn't start with HTC.
Also adb devices shows no device so I was unable to get a logcat for you.
Going back to old rom.
