Get old market back?

I have been running Cyan roms for a while....I have issues with the new market which was included in his 4.1.11.1 rom (not getting updates), and would like to go back to the old market. I nandroided back to 4.0.4 which had the old market before flashing to 4.1.9999, but when I did that it had the new market again for some reason.
Is there any way I can just delete the new market and install the old one, without reflashing? Is there just an apk or something I can install it with? I asked this in the Cyan ROM thread but it was never answered.
Thanks in advance for any help.

if u can get a copy of his old rom flash it...or just use someone elses rom

4.2.1 is out. You might aswell flash that to see if it solves your market issues.
This is not due to the new market if you're using Apps2SD. Download aTrackDog and it will check that all your apps are up to date.

[Q] Cyanogen 6.0 problem? plz help.

Hi everyone. I just recently flashed the new 6.0 froyo cyanogen and its amazing. At first, when I flashed it I had 2 problems.
1. No Market app
2. I didn't get a setup screen for my gmail.
That problem I fixed by downloading and flashing the google apps zip thing.
Now, there's a new problem.
1. Market continues to say "connection failed, retry or cancel" for everthing I try to download. I press on and download.
2. I basically cannot download anything at all.
3. Youtube as well isn't working... I get the same thing as the market.
I did see a google chrome apk in a cyanogenmod website, it said it would help? I don't remember with what though.
Do I need SDK in order to use apps?
- Thanks.

Did you flash the correct google apps? It schould be named gapps-mdpi-FRF91-3-signed.zip.
Did you wipe before flashing?
What version of CM6 did you flash? If it was a nightly, try another one ore RC2.

Yes, thats the name of the Google apps i flashed. The name of the cyanogen rom i flashed is -
update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC2-signed

I tried flashing everything once more on my rooted G1.
This time i flashed DangerSPL. It was probably the reason it didnt work. I will post back if it works.

Why is that download so damn slow?
Mediafire is a real good Hoster to download directly to my cellphone, but for now, it downloads only with 5kb/s . Just boring :S
I hope this Version works for me, until it's down in 6 Minutes^^
EDIT: Does not work :/

are u running 2.2+ android ?
honestly I'm running CM6.1 final with 2708 kernel/hack
I never tried installing manually and created the flashable update and it worked like a charm on CM6.1 Final 2708
It simply replace Vending.apk to the newest version and chmod 644 /system/app/Vending.apk also...
You do need a recovery that accept test-keys AKA rooted & unlocked BUT why aren't rooted yet ?

Thank you
This looks great. No problems I just flashed and it works great!

I got this to work by going into "Titanium Backup" and on the MARKET app, chose the wipe data button, then un-installed the old version of "Market".
Then I rebooted and ran the update.zip and it worked!
Hope this works for you!

I did even release a 2.3 sdk port to G1 since so much ppl were kindly asking for it
Nothing worth a mention IMO lol
I'm gonna give a few of my spare time to G1 dev <3 paste your adb logcat on pastebin so I can check
That would really help

Thanks for your input, update wanted ?
It could delete more & do it all, just being safe here...
I can't test on so many android devices atm !
95 downloads so far since a few hours not all bad it works !

ok it didnt work for me...im using mytouch 3g...it flashed but the market says loading then goes white...i didnt nand (noob move) but i know froyo will just reinstall all the apps but i dont feel like going through all that.
does anyone have a flashable version of the froyo market so i wont have to wipe? thanx in advance

I'm wondering how to flash this onto a phone o.o
I'm new to the flashing, rooting etc stuff ><
Edit : Continued searching and found out it has to do with recovery mode. Just cant figure out how to switch to recovery on galaxy 3

Did a nand backup, flashed the zip, rebooted, FC on Market before even launching, launched Market and a white screen. Restored from nand to get back up. Running OTA 2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811620)
Any ideas? Manual installation via ADB?

To save you the trouble of putting the adb method , you can refer to my post .
It does the same thing but manually and its working for sure (Eclairs and Froyo ) : )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872526
Cheers !

I just got this OTA update for market. I just backed up my old market, then installed this from the SD like a regular app. I didn't have any problems or need special permissions. Maybe someone could try this if they're having problems with the flashable or adb.

Two threads?
Ok so someone else started a thread for this in the development section which I thought to be weird, just wanted you to know, here is the thread. Personally I would rather just have one, yours : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872526

did exactly what he did here, nd works like a charm

is this flashable to sd card? I have cyanogen 6.1.0 android 2.2(froyo). Its probably a dumb question. But I'm asking this because theres another thread which indicated on his post that he didn't make his flashable. And its similar to this except that one runs on adb. So I'm wondering if this is flashable?

same rom..same problem
even doing adb doesnt work

Okay. So i have my g1 rooted. With froyo 2.2 cyanogen 6.1 ROM. As you may know, it doesn't come with google apps. So market isn't available. I've been looking all over the web. Trying each and everyone's market.apk and market.zip . All doesn't work. I tried normal install from a file manager. Nothing. Tried adb process. Pushing it. Still not working. Tried android command, still not working. And finally, your file, which i flashed. Still didn't work. All of them I got the same. When I open market, I just get a white blank, then after 5 seconds, goes back to the desktop screen. Any ideas to help me? Would really appreciate it.
Or I was thinking of doing this. Reflash the stock android 1.6 with root and then try the market. If it works, use nandroid back up. And then flash cyanogen 6.0 froyo 2.2 and restore the backup that i made with the market. DO you think that will work?

succesfully installed on my g1 cynogenmod but the market get fc when i try to download

Have you installed the google apps package after flashing cyanogen rom ?

Just wanted to post, thank you. Running SS4.9 on a droid, was having problems getting this app to work until your post. Downloaded and renamed to update.zip and so far is working like a charm.
Thank you very much.

Google Talk on a custom rom

So i installed the doomed froyo rom on my thrill 4g and am loving it (had the "almost cyanogen" GB rom before this but couldn't live with the bugs). My only gripe is i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get google talk installed on it. I've tried everything from downloading it on the fone and clicking it to install (says install failed) to forcing it into the system/apps folder via terminal on my mac and cmd prompt on my pc to double check myself.
Nothing has worked thus far. I've tried a "custom" gtalk apk, the newest version (1.3), and the previous version all to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not a fan of any of the 3rd party apps that handle gtalk, so that's kind of out of the question. I really want the official gtalk app cause i fell in love with it while using the cyanogen mod GB rom

Use the one included in the rom it is based off of... im guessing 10e stock
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App

the doomed froyo rom doesn't come with gtalk, its supposed to be a "light" rom ...it looks like it was just updated to 2.0 with a new kernel, I'll try that out and see if theres a gtalk app included.

You want gtalk I can see about making that work out for you. What you could try is take the official gtalk app and put that into the doomed froyo slim zip file. Just open it up, and put the gtalk app in the system/app and flash the rom file. That should do the trick.

That'd be great...i actually tried that method already, but it seems it doesn't work...its as if the ROM is ignoring it cause it doesn't show up in my installed apps list, but is def. in the apps folder.
keep up the good work tho, love ur ROM

Have you tried opening the .apk or .zip of the gtalk app in cwm or in Rom manager? It worked for me installing it on cyanogenmod thrill.

[Q] Flashing Cyanogenmod?

I have a rooted Droid 4 running 4.1.2. I have only flashed a ROM onto a phone once before, on an LG Ally a few years ago. So I'm proceeding cautiously. I've tried to do some research and just confused myself further. I'm just going to post my questions here and hopefully you guys can help. I appreciate it in advance.
1. I don't have custom recovery on the phone yet. It's just rooted at this point. What recovery would you guys recommend? I've seen some references to GooManager -- would that app automate the custom recovery installation for me, or do I need to download Safestrap or something like that to the computer and install from there?
2. Do I have to root again after that?
3. What is the highest current stable version of Cyanogenmod that will run on this phone?

1. I don't know anything about GooManager or if it is compatible with the D4 but safestrap is a really great piece of software that is easy to use. I highly recommend it. Just download and install the app on your phone. Then open the app and install recovery. From there, when you reboot, you will be given the option to boot into safestrap recovery where you can install your ROMs.
2. You will not need to re-root your phone.
3. I am running CM10.2 (Android 4.3) nightlies and have found them to be very stable. I've also heard the latest stable version of CM10.1 (Android 4.2.2) is very good as well.

Now I have a Wi-Fi problem

Thank you. I got CM10.2 nightly for 9/28 installed and working. There is only one problem I found so far -- I can't get wi-fi to connect at home. It says it's authenticating, then it saves, then it says there is an authentication problem. I have no problems when I run stock, but it will not work with CM 10.2
I researched online and found lots of people having problems. Some people re-flashed the ROM and it fixed it, others tried this, that or the other and weren't even sure what fixed the problem. Some never fixed it at all.
I did the Wipe/Factory Reset. I re-flashed the ROM. I went back and flashed the 9/27 nightly since 9/28 didn't work. I rebooted my router. I did a Forget on the network and re-added it. My password is correct. I'm at a loss. Not having WiFi with this ROM is like having a great new car that does everything you want except it doesn't do left turns.

Sounds like you have tried most of the things I would have tried to fix it. One other thing you can try: open the Terminal app. Type "SU" and press enter. Then type "wificall.sh" and press enter. That will recalibrate the wifi on the phone. One other thing that comes to mind is I remember some people mentioning when they flashed a new ROM the D4s MAC address got changed which screwed with the wifi connection to their router. I can't remember what the fix was for it, but might be something to google if wifical does not fix it.

Thanks for the wifical tip. Wi-Fi is now working at my office. When I get home, I'll see if it did the trick there.

Wifi has been hit and miss lately. I had to go back to 9/26 nightly. Didn't have working wifi until 10/2 nightly.
Some of the guys in the development thread found some clues as to why. The must be working on the wifi drivers in the nightlies right now.

I just flashed the latest CM (this is my first phone mod) and I working on getting gapps to instal. I have the latest downloaded and am looking for guidance as to how to install the package. This thread looks like a proper place to address that step as it appears to be exactly what you do after you get CM running.
Thanks!

Find the gapps for your version of cm and flash like you did the ROM. Usually you would flash the gapps when you do the ROM.

1. I prefer safestrap, you can install up to 4 more ROMs in addition to stock ROM. And it's the safest method to try those ROMs
2. That depends on the ROM you are going to install. Most custom ROMs have been rooted already.
3. CM11 that is Android 4.4 KitKat, sweet eh? (correction : CM11 is not stable development yet, but it is latest and nicely working)
