Looking for a Themed new Market zip for the Fascinate. Ive tried using the darkside.zip and others and none work. I also tried removing the vending.apk file and swapping in root explorer to no avail. I also notice removing the vending.apk in system/app does not prevent me from using the market, wtf??? Please help

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,

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

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?
Has anybody successfully gotten a themed market to work? I used a cwm zip from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11411546
However nothing changed, just stayed green. I even deleted the marketupdater.apk. Does anybody have any suggestions. Would be very helpful and appreciated. I'm currently using charnsingh_online cm7 build.
no it removed my market had to redo my build to get it back. "Nothing but a bag of lies"
Got it to work a few days ago. Problem the first go around was I had a theme already installed. Therefore the new themed market wouldn't overide it. I had to start from a fresh install and apply it. Worked.
DHD BUILDS ONLY---Ive done this on every rom ive flashed... Some key things are to delete"marketupdater.apk" in /system/app. Make sure you don't have "com.android.vending-1.apk" in /data/app or it will default to that version. If you do, delete it and reboot b4 proceeding. And if you just move the "Vending.apk" of your choice to /system/app, allow all permissions and reboot, it should work. Mysense on the mt4g is a different story.... Ive gotten it to work, but I'm not really sure how lol.
If this doesn't work, no matter what you try, just open up the zip file you flashed in cwr to install the rom and navigate to /system/app within the zipped rom and extract Vending.apk. Then move it to /system/app and reboot. That should theoretically give you the original market back, provided you don't have "com.android.vending-1.apk" in /data/app. Good luck!

Hi guys, Im trying to get the Google News and Weather app (GenieWidget.APK) from Nexus S, or other newer version, running. I have an older version that does not auto update, so it kinda sucks.
The new version is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13473045
Ive tried dropping both the APK and/or ODEX file via file manager, also rebooting, but the files are not there afterwards. Im rooted and using FileExpert app, which is granted superuser Im told via toast message.
Also tried direct install of the APK, but again no go --> 'Application not installed' error.
Im running the Mosiac III ROM.
Searches have not helped so Id appreciate some help!
You might wan't to try Root Explorer from the market. Its what I used to install the genie widget. It is pretty easy to use. All you have to do is copy it into your system/app folder and there you have it.

but do i need to delete the old one? Is necessary to change the permissions of the new apk? If yes how?
If the installation is failing you are going to need to adb push the application to your system/app/ folder and then it should work... I am also looking for the new geniewidget.apk (sorry for bumping an old thread).
Hi Everyone,
Looking for help for an issue, I installed the new android market and was messing around with Titanium Backup (forgot to backup the app, dumb me!) anyway I tried to uninstall the new market to go back to the old one but when I did this the market app is gone from the manage apps area. My phone is a N1, running 2.3.4 and rooted, this what I have tried:
- Install the old market manually from a downloaded vending.apk, not working crashes to .com.android.vending every time
- After this I went to look in the /system/app folder for vending.apk and the app is not there, neither I am unable to copy the app using Droid Explorer or Root explorer, it says it is coping the app but is not there
- Re-install gingerbread update again to see if it gets the app back, did not work, still not in system/app folder
Does anyone know why I am unable to copy the vending.apk to the system/app folder? the phone is rooted but still can-t
Thanks!
If you're having problems with root permissions, try using ROM Manager to fix permissions. Another possibility could be busybox, so I recommend installing the version with Titanium backup (under the Problems? section of the menu).
Updating the market can be tricky, but I always find wiping data from Google Services Framework and (use app manager) Market (easier to use Titanium), and rebooting helps. Make sure you reboot before trying to use the Market...
I didn-t know about the Fix Permissions feature of ROM manager, I tried it and it work, I can now place the file on the system/app folder.
Thanks a lot!
I'm sure lots of people already know about this but just wanted to share it on the thrill forum!!!
Running it on my thrill!!! Pretty nice looking.
Instructions....
This is the only way I could get it to work on my thrill (I tried many different ways)
Using root explorer Delete vending.apk in system/apps.
Then delete com.Android.vending-1.apk in data/apps
Reinstall the new market.apk which I'm pretty sure I got in one of the thrill forums.
Then download one of the new themed markets.
In root explorer system/apps rename vending.apk to vending.bak then move downloaded themed market apk to system apps and name it vending.apk....tap on it and install (do not open)
Reboot phone and you should be all set
I'm pretty sure I've made this harder than it has to be but this is the only way it worked for me
There are a few different themes
