New Market

Is there any tmobile customer who actually likes this new market layout? Tmobile has replaced the "downloads" button with a "tmobile recommended apps" button. Not only is that self-righteous and gay, but all the apps there seem completely random besides the tmobile apps. Wtf.
Is there a way to push a non-tmobile version of market? Im not sure, but i dont think this is the new version 1.71. Mine still shows as 1.66. If anyone has 1.71 please post it here. Id rather have an updated market app than this gay ass layout change. Thanks.

I have v1.66 as well, and no I do not like the market.
I have never liked the market.
Category layouts are dumb.
People search the market in 3 ways.
They either know exactly what they want... Search Program Name
They know the type of thing they want... Search "program does this.."
Or they go window shopping. Scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll...etc
The F*ing scrolling is driving me crazy! By scrolling through a huge list, I never remember where I was, and I have to constantly start over.
I want to be able to see what apps were uploaded each day. That way I can search a given day and know that there are no apps that I like for that time period.
Hmm what did the Dev's throw out yesterday....Oh cool! aw crap. Neat!
I stopped looking at their "recommendations" a long time ago.
I don't care what they think I might want. I sure as hell don't want My Account which has been listed as a #1 app since it came out.
For more experienced users..The F*ing program doesn't do anything that logging into your account, or using one of 20 other programs doesn't already do. Like I need ANOTHER battery monitor!
I just found a market app that might be better. Called My Market by Chris Hager- allows multiple filters, recommendations based on users comments, and you can bookmark items. Let you know how it goes.

OK this is one of those programs that you find once in a while that are the "OMG Why isn't this standard." type of thing.
It does have a little problem staying connected to the market server when I am using it, but....
I can scroll through all the apps in the market, bookmarking any apps that look interesting, and "Removing" ones that are not. (removing just hides them in a folder called "Removed")
I can mark an app as "recommended", not star'd like the market, but just a flag saying that I liked the program.
I can also email the market link for an app to someone from inside the program.
You do have to open the market to DL though which is kinda annoying, but the fact I can sort through stuff makes it totally worth it.

Yea i gotta say mymarket is pretty cool. Only thing that bugs me is that it looks like the old market from 1.1. Thanks for the suggestion.
So 1.71 is the market from 2.0?

I also noticed that apps I have installed originally from the market and later uninstalled due to a wipe or whatever. Then reinstalled from SdCard are now showing up as updates available. Would of been ok, however I have two apps I simply do not want to update and its annoying the heck out of me because I now have to look at them everytime I goto the market.
How did this Market update happen? I don't remember updating it or was it forced or a forced layout change or something?

Looks like you can go into Settings > Manage Applications > Market
Uninstall Market upgrade. Of course how long before that comes back.

I think this is the market you guys are talking about.
http://www.mymarket.cc/

I noticed in the /data/data/ folder there is two listings for the market. One being an upgrade and one being the regular.

Apparently it takes less than a day to come back. I uninstalled the T-market yesterday morning before work and it was back before the end of my work day. This kind of sucks. All their "update" did was make me have to use the physical menu button to check my downloads for updates. More time wasted and more wear on my menu button. Thanks T-Mobile.

I went into /system/apps and deleted the vending updater program. Also uninstalled the "update" to the market. Not having any trouble now. Was having a ton of trouble with stuff not install after downloading. The update hasn't come back yet either, so so far so good.

After my uninstall I haven't seen it come back as of yet.

Yeah the market app is kinda screwy lately. Literally last night before I went to sleep I was using it to download something.
I wake up today in the morning and it's completely gone I have never had that happen before.
Lets see if it comes back on its own through out the day hehe.
Honestly I really hope it's my rom doing something screwy though cause I would hate knowing that they can take off an app off my phone when ever they want just like that. WTF you know.

How did you uninstall the update? I just went to settings>applications>manage applications>Market--uninstall updates. I may try Gilliland12's method but I don't know what else that method may effect.
sxfx:
Many people seem to be having problems with the market on Cyanogen's latest. I always wipe and do a full install and I don't use a2sd, compcache or swap and I've had few to no problems with his ROM's (just some random reboots on one of the older versions).

Yeah Iv been using Cyan for as long as I can remember. I do use a2sd, and some swap nothing major.
But I don't seem to have 99% of the problems everyone else is having heh.
Just a glitch here or there but nothing I cant really figure out.
This market thing really just happened recently when tmo started screwing with it. I guess we will see what happens in the next few days .
Supposedly there is a really nice updated coming from Cyan sometime soon. ..

[Q] Market notifications problem on DD 2.7

Ok, so I've had this rom running since it first came out. There's no problems with it, but these annoying market notifications won't go away. I've ignored it for a long time, about a couple months, haha. Is there a way of stopping them from popping up? Like, the market cache or something? The problem started when apps downloaded from the market didn't install. They pop up when I download from the market. And sometimes, at random.

And yes, it is raining that bad in Pennsylvania right now, haha.

Here's one more screenshot.

You could try going into settings and clearing market data and c if it works also I use a app called cache cleaner for root users u can get it from the market to clean the cache of a lot of apps on ur rom it has a lot of handy features IMO good luck
Root-Hack-Mod-Always™

I tried that, it didn't work. :'(

same with stock rom
have the same problem with the stock rom. even if the app is deleted and the cache also, the old market notifications still show up when i download new apps from the market
only things i did to my phone are: root access and att bloatware uninstall

Bump. Anyone?

[Q] Reinstalling the market update

So I had a few apps get the infinite Installing Android Market bug thanks to a wireless router dying at a bad time. The only thing that worked short of doing a factory reset was to uninstall the market update.
So my question is how do I get the Market update to reinstall?
Thanks
(Not rooted, stock ROM)

Uninstall application, then reinstall. Just a hunch.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Were it only so simple. The 2.2 market enchancements were a silent upgrade, so there's no market link. And beyond that, the Market no long appears up on the manage Applications list in the system settings.

I've been having the same issues as well, very frustrating! I've been searching here and good ol' google on how to get that update back...to no avail yet.
Did you ever get any success?

Pulled this. See if it works for you.

Thanks
Trying to side load it now, but I can't seem to get droid explorer to work. sigh.....
It connects to the phone fine, but then when I go to install the package, it gives me a new window that wants to install something. I don't really remember that window coming up in the past, but to be honest it's been quite awhile since I've used droidexplorer... So I click isntall, and the program immediately crashes.
So, I put the file on my web server, and downloaded it from there. (Got some annoying lovely messages about the phone being out of space until I cleared the browser download list....) It downloaded fine, but when I go to install it, I get "Parse Error There is a problem parsing the package."
On an odd hunch, I started poking around the file structure in DroidExplorer, and was able to pull my own MarketUpdater.apk out and save it to the computer. So I threw that on the webserver, and was able to download it fine, AND re-install it. No idea if that will actually DO anything, but hey, figured it was worth a shot.
So now that I've waited 15 minutes after reinstalling the marketupdater.apk, (big surprise) nothing's changed.
EDIT:
Went to grab a sandwich for lunch, and decided to pop into the ATT store since it was right next to where I was eating. Asked one of the reps that I have a pretty good relationship with about the issue, and he said a customer came in not too long ago with the same issue, and the only resolution was a system wipe. Hopefully we can get around it...Of course, if not, and I do have to do a wipe, I'll just upgrade to 2.2....

New Android Market [11 dec 2010]

Is there any way to get this one the gtablet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868767

i just flashed it using CW Recovery, seems to be working ok, you have to do the market fix to get it to see the apps, still doesn't see everything

at least for me, it works fine but wont let me install anything! D: sucks

Same thing happened to me. Just did a restore to roll back to the original vending.apk and all is well again.

Have you done the market fix?
Setting / Applications / Manage Applications / Running / "Clear cache"; then "Force stop"
Then go up to Google Services Framework and "Force stop"
Open Titanium Backup; click on "Backup/Restore" and scroll to Google Services Framework 2.2.1 - and "Wipe data"
Go back to Home and launch Market. You should receive an error message (if not, repeat steps above).
Reboot and you should be good to go.

Worked for me with the data wipe market fix.as far as the new market goes... Very xbox liveish....

Confirmed that works. But link has 2 zips. And both have the smell name file.
Not sure if both are same.
Also for me there is a minor bug. The update icon is so thin u can hardly see it. And the uninstall one is very close bellow with full width.

One of the changes with this new market is the evaluation time for purchased apps. Instead of one day you have 15 minutes to return and refund. I hope the make it longer. Holding off on this one for now.

This seems to only affect TnT (Lite). I haven't added it there yet, because of the weird screen glitches. The VEGAn build seems unaffected.

Did you try downloading any apps after the update? After i did the update, i get an error that there is not enough space to install.

What is the benefit of upgrading to the new market? Cover flow? Anything else? Is it worth it??
Thanks...

bull****, this doesnt work on the gtablet, it claims there's no space. Its true, on VEGAN-TAB ROM it has no glitches, but same "no space" thing happens!

You probably ran out of storage space on your internal sdcard. Go to "storage" in settings and check if you still have space left.

use vegan beta 3 rom，
if you install the new market and getting "not enough space" error!
Format your SD card. Format it at 2GB/256MB then I got full market could be download

Im Getting Force Closes After I install. Using CM6 b4.

I have been using the new market for about 3 days now. and havent noticed any problems with it.
i can download and install stuff just fine. and no FC's.
im not sure if we have the same APK but i just renamed the old market then moved the new apk into system/app changed permissions on it to rw-r--r-- installed it and did the traditional market fix. and everything seems to be working just fine.

Okay time to add on to this quick post at the start of the thread. I am running this on VeGan Tab as the ROM of choice. The App switches from portrait to landscape mode with a minor reload. The search look exactly the same as before. One of the cool feature is the ability to side scroll between the home screen and categories to the left and top paid, top free, top grossing, top new free, and trending. From each of these you can scroll up and down. The scrolling is just a tiny bit laggy but not a hugh issue. Clicking on an app opens a nicely laid out window which fills the entire display and is well laid out in my opinion. The one odd issue is when you click on the screen shots they only display in portrait mode. Also the movie preview streams are excellent they do not lag even on my slow internet connection.
It is my recommend for all tablet users 2.2 and higher to install this update to the app store

Even users with HC? I've been putting this off because I thought it was for Froyo/GB people.

What I know of this update is that it is for 2.2 and higher. from the google blog...
Recently, we’ve been hard at work improving Android Market to give you new ways to find great applications and games, purchase books, and rent movies. Today, we’re releasing a new version of Android Market which makes all of these available on phones (Android 2.2 and higher).
So I take it this is not on the HC builds and it can be used on the HC builds. As with anything like this your mileage will vary. I just put my two cent worth in on the update.

Tried on Stock 3588 but no go which of course I did not think it would work.

I like the new Market however I keep getting a force close if I try to add a customized icon shortcut via Better Cut. I have to drag the app icon from the application menu & add it to my launcher bar, which is fine but I can't use a customized icon.

I am running this on Flashback rom with no problems.
Actually have two Markets to pick from for now so I'll wait and see which I like better.
Downloaded Zinio from new market and updated a few apps no problem.
Now if we can get Netflix to work on Flashback this would/will be a great tablet and replace my laptop.

Anybody try it on HC yet? I really like the layout of the HC market.

any hack fix for this version of the market
Any hack fix

Anyone tried it on Honeycomb yet?

Running BoS 6.0 Alpha nad so far no problems.

Im on Vegantab GE and I get a force close after a few seconds every time I open it. I have tried clearing the cache, clearing data, going into CWM and clearing cache and data there and even fixing permissions. Nothing seems to work. Anyone else experiencing this?

Had this happen to me but doing something different. Before you go wild and try a lot of things, I found out that this may be caused by your contacts getting corrupted. If you have Titanium backup and can get into it, wipe your contacts/account data and you'll be fine.
If not, you most likely DON'T have to NVFlash your device- just wipe your data&cache if you have CWM recovery installed.

Whoa... Nice improvements. This is SLICK!

i'm getting the FC too and this isn't working. i wiped contacts data and it didn't work. cleared cache and dalvik and still didn't work. i even wiped market data and google services framework like we did back then for the market fix. still nothing. what exactly am i supposed to wipe in titanium?

I've ran it on flashback 5.4 with no problems, but i like the hc version better.

Yeah, the contacts don't have anything to do with the market so Im not even going to bother. Are you runing Vegan Gingeredition? If you are it may be safe to assume that the issue is a conflict there. Need more feedback from others running Vegan GE to know for sure. For know I just reverted back to the orig market and it runs fine, I don't plan on renting any movies anyway, (not that they play on rooted devices) so not having the new market doesnt bother me a lot.

yea i am running vegan ge as a matter of fact. looks like the issue is there. still havent put hc on mine yet because the process seems so long and complicated. gonna have to put a day aside to do it.
the new market is awesome tho. i have it on my droid 1 with no issues. i guess ill just have to stick with the original market for now. i dont care about the movies or books either but it just looks so cool haha
