market app upgrade

does anyone know how/where i can upgrade the market app in a rom im using? i lie the 2.0/2.1 market but right now its stuck on the 1.5/1.6 version, help?

Do you mean the Google Market, Vending.apk? Just pull it out of some ROM that has the Donut/Eclair market and do an adb push, though since you're running an Eclair ROM, you really already should have it..

oh, no, im running a hero rom, im not very good at updating my sig ^_^;
but thanks for the heads up

Well if it's a Cupcake Hero, you may be stuck. But Eclair Heros do have the new market. If you're running a 1.5 ROM, I suggest making a bart backup, then in adb or terminal, set the system as rw, delete Vending.apk, and replace it with a Vending.apk from an Eclair Hero rom. Then if it doesn't work, just restore.

Froyo Launcher2.apk

Hi all,
I personally really like the default Launcher2.apk from froyo, however unfortunately Cyanogen has now only included ADW.Launcher in cm6. After upgrading to cm6-rc1, I'm having trouble locating a copy of a Launcher2.apk from froyo.
As my phone's bootloader is not unlocked, it'll be a large hassle for me to go back to stock, and upgrade just to get Launcher2.apk...
I was wondering whether someone could post their stock /system/app/Launcher2.apk from an FRF91 install, to save me the trouble.
If you have adb installed, the command should just be:
adb pull /system/bin/Launcher2.apk
Cheers, Xanium

remote object '/system/bin/Launcher2.apk' does not exist

Just pull it from a stock rom and push it back overwriting ADW.

Mine had trouble seeing it. I tried a version I compiled myself from AOSP, as well as a resigned one from a deodexed FRF91 rom without success. I'm sure I missed something. I don't know what though. I've replaced the launcher in older CM versions with my own modified one without issues.

If you download CM6 from ROM manager you can choose to install with ADWLauncher or Launcher2

Launcher2.apk and Launcher2.odex are located at system/app. not at system/bin

Really? Awesome. I guess I'll have to try that.
Here is a stock AOSP build of Launcher2.apk.
EDIT: Rom Manager didn't allow me to select launcher. The file I linked to above worked fine though. Just reboot and it will default to Launcher2. The ADWLauncher entry in the Settings app will disappear as well.
I made an update.zip (for hdpi-devices) to make replacing the launcher easy for future upgrades. It just adds Launcher2.apk and removes ADWLauncher.apk.

Launcher2 just keeps FC on my G1. I'm using CM6-RC1.
I installed like:
adb .\Launcher2.apk /system/app/Launcher2.apk
adb reboot
Phone boots but launcher just keeps crashing. Do I have to do some kind of wipe to get this to work? Does anyone have Launcher2 working on CM6-RC1?
EDIT: Perhaps I need to uninstall the old ADW launcher? I rm'd it from /system/app but another post suggested using pm unsinstall com.android.launcher. I haven't tried that.

You need Launcher2 built from AOSP for mdpi. The one in my post is for hdpi. I forgot to mention that.

I get an error in Amon-Ra Recovery when trying to flash your zip file (nexus one, CMod RC2/nightly), Blunden.
Code:
E: can't open /sdcard/replace-launcher-signed.zip (bad)
Any ideas? I tried the manual uninstall of ADW and installation of Launcher2.apk but Launcher2.apk says it won't install.

Never mind. I downloaded your AOSP-compiled version of launcher.apk and it worked without a hitch. I must have had a corrupted file when I tried to install before. Thanks for posting the files!

no you cant

Any chance to re-upload the File?
Seems that mediafire refuse the request?!
Thanks!

Download Super manager from the market not astro or anything and put the Launcher.apk on your SCcard and then open super manager tap on the red square with the sdcard on it and u will see Launcher with the Launcher icon, tap it and press install and your good
hope this helped

Download works fine again
Thanks!

[Q] missing google apps

i've tried updating my google apps using the file downloaded from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version. It is the HDPI version for CM6 (20101114). I didn't upgrade to CM6, but applied this update zip anyway. Now i have FB and Market but my gmail and talk have disappeared.
i've tried manually installing by copying the file over to system/app but that didn't work. neither did trying to install them using astro (file could not be read as apk).
also tried applying the update EPE54B for CM5 instead but was unable to.
any solutions on how to get gmail back?

hey thanks for the suggestion. i've tried it and it says "install failed older sdk". i'm guessing it's because i'm on 2.1 while the apps are for cm6 (2.2).
however, i also cannot flash the apps for CM5 (2.1) and extracting them from the zip then trying to install gives me "Install Parse Failed No Certificates"..
any idea where i can find a compatible gapps?

any solutions? i found a youtube.apk from xda which installed.. but still no gmail...

Not entirely sure how to fix your problem but I would suggest doing a Nand backup before flashing GAPPS next time. I guess you can try deleting all the apks that the Latest CM6 GAPPS installed and try flashing EPWhatever again. Hope this helps

[Q] New Market in 1.1 Stock?

Is there any possibility to get the new market (2.2.11 or 2.2.7) to work with the B&N Stock 1.1 image (rooted with gapps already)?
greetz,
fattymcdirty

Just need to get the apk and install over the included market. There was a thread with it and the old one in a thread not to long ago
Sent from my MB300 using Tapatalk

actually this doesn't work.. i took the 2.2.7 market apk and pushed it to /system/app/ - then rebooted. after that, market opens for 1sec and then just closes back to the homescreen. same with 2.2.11 - any other suggestions?

Thread moved to General.

The APK should be "Vending.apk". Use Root Explorer or ADB to remount system as Read/Writable, then rename your old Vending.apk to "Vending.old" or something (just incase you want to go back). Copy the new market "Vending.apk" to /system/app. IMPORTANT: Change the permissions of the Vending.apk to match the other APKs in the directory. Reboot.
If after a reboot you are having some problems try clearing the Market's cache.
EDIT: I'm running 2.2.7. Haven't tried 2.2.11 since this is working perfectly fine for me on nootered BN 1.1.0.

could you upload the market version 2.2.7 you are running at the moment?
then i'm gonna give it another try..

hmmmmmmmmmmmm ....... :/

What is the difference between the different versions of the android market?

question now to anyone: has anyone the market 2.2.7 working on the nook with rooted stock 1.1? if so: could u please upload your vending.apk???

My market updated by itself yesterday to the newest one.
V 1.1 stock

And it works much better than the old one

On my froyo SD card install, i cannot get this method to work. I have replaced the APK there with the newest one (2.3.2 actually), but it makes no difference; the system still sees it as 2.2.11, and trying to do an "install" doesn't work either.. hmm

any update on this? can we get a newer market on rooted 1.1?

Try flashing Milaq's flashable update: https://github.com/downloads/milaq/android/Market 3.0.26 for CM6.1.2.zip

The APK is floating about somewhere too

I'll try flashing when I'm at my computer.. And the apk, everytime I try to install it keeps saying error parsing the package
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App

go to settings - applications - manage applications - force stop market and clear everything.
use rootexplorer - go to system/app
mount R/W
rename vending.apk to vending.apk.bk
now either flash update.zip or just copy new vending.apk in app folder
if it's not working.
1. reboot
2. if it's still not working try to clean cache and davik from OR
===
3. and if it still not working now either. you have the old vending to go to
if you don't backup you may end up spending more time trying to fix what you broke
