Have fun!
I installed after deleting the existing market apk. It force closes every time I try to use it. I cannot move it or copy it to system apps. I can put it in either internal memory or on the SD card. I can accept market terms and start it but then it force closes. I tried clearing data, cache and rebooting but same force close every time. I did not delete market updater apk. Any suggestions? I have the original market reinstalled until I can come up with a solution.
Woah, that's a huge change. o.o
I recommend getting the sgs tools app from the market. It has this included now and you don't have to worry about sideloading or moving the apk with a file manager or adv commands. The new market is really nice.
This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.
works on cm6.1 beta 3
Worked on Perception 8. Just copied it over to my sdcard and installed it using the normal installer. Thanks man! It looks awesome.

Looks/works well but where's the update all button? Does it only appear only when there are more than one apps to update?

Works and looks great on Captivate and I also suggest using SGS Tools FTW.

Anyone notice the search icon in the upper right and via the menu key doesn't respond?
I installed via sgs tools. (amazing app by the way)

New market seems like a step backwards in some ways. I can see the need to reduce the refund time, but 15 minutes is nuts. Also, removing the tabs? That's just a mess.
Bring the tabs back, and make refund time 3 hours, and I'm a happy guy.
I also think it's a step backwards in a lot of ways. Yeah, that nice green design header looks cool... but it dominates the damn screen. Annoying!

Update: Tried to go back to original version via SGS tools restore script and lost Market completely.
Reinstalled new apk via droid explorer and it reappeared, and now search functionality works as expected.

Yea... but you can scroll around and lose the header once you start browsing.
Didn't have any issues after installing it - search feature worked.
Just downloaded straight onto my phone and used the base installer (no droid explorer, astro etc..) and it worked fine.
Also you get the "update all" on the top button under your downloads if you have multiple updates - which I did
Thanks again for this.
I cannot take ant credit for these. I have found them in different forums and all I am doing is posting them here for you guys to enjoy also.
Disclaimer:I have personally confirmed these work on 2.2.1.But that doesn't mean it will work for you and I am not responsible if you brick or break your phone
Back up your vending.apk from system/app folder BEFORE you try to install this
Market must be already installed and configured(Logged in prior to install)
These are all installed through clockwork in recovery
DO NOT RENAME
1.install zip from SD
2.choose zip from SD
3.scroll down to desired zip and install
4.reboot system
5. enjoy
FOR THOSE HAVING FC ISSUES TRY THIS AFTER INSTALL
1. Make sure Market is closed (task manager or FC)
2. Go to Settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications --> All
3. Select Market
4. Clear data
If it works, good for you, otherwise: Try the Installing again
5. Launch SGS Tools
6. Select Market Fix, check both boxes, apply.
7.) Most important: after reboot, REPEAT STEPS 1-4.
If Market is not showing up.
Install Original from one I posted or back up your vending.apk from system/app folder and replacing it with your original vendng.apk

Black or White?
Just curious, but are the backgrounds of these markets white like the normal one? or are they indeed black as your pictures show?
If not, is that a theme that would do that?

Great find. I like the Dark Market as it will go with the Darkness theme but I also like the Dark Blue theme. I guess I will switch off pretty often between the two. Thanks

Cool, trying on Perception 10 in a bit, the dark one will look killer on The Darkness2.5 theme as mentioned above.
Can't get any of them to work on Perception 10. I tried to install using the .zip file. It places the Vending.apk in the system/app folder, but it doesn't show up in my app drawer. Same results if I extract and place it there by my self.
I would love to have the dark one as well for the Darkness theme on Perception 10

Check the link provided by the OP above to the original posts - there are some troubleshooting steps there and a patch I believe.
I am using the Dark market with the Darkness theme on P10. Just installed it last night. Just moved.it with root explorer to my sd card, went into recovery and chose install zip from sd card and ham it worked fine. I didn't have to look for it or anything. It actually has a different icon for the market on my home page as well.

Market must be already installed and configured(Logged in prior to install). I have no idea why because I am not the creator but I have personally done it this way and have had no issues what so ever installing them through clockwork. I updated the OP with this also.
I'm not sure if anyone else has this issue but I get FC after I install something and then FCs when trying to open the market again. I have to reinstall the stock market and then install the dark market and then it repeats the issue. So I can install one thing, restore stock market, install dark market, install another app and repeat.

I was trying to figure this out awhile ago with the OP from linked thread and it turns out that even though some markets say 2.2.7 in the info for the package it was really 2.2.6 when pulled from phone and opened. I think that 2.2.1 uses a different market then 2.2
Haven't tried the dark market yet but the Dark Blue works fine.

Flashed fine for me using the black market 277. Have since been updated to the P 10 v0.5 patch and no issues.
You are rebooting after putting the file into /system/app/ dir right?

I said earlier that I couldn't get any of them to work. I really wanted to use the Black theme, so I reflashed Perception 10, and before restoring any apps or anything else, I tried to install the themed market. Of course I signed into the stock market first like OP stated. Anyway, it worked. I tried to recreate the problem I had installing it before, but I can't seem to now.
Cool,just installed the black/blue app market on my Cappy,looks freaking sweet with reefermattness's Darkness 2.2 theme-took about 6 tries using member RockRatt's method(thanx) !

I rooted to CM7 and everything was fine. I should have left well enough alone. I tried to do the fix for HBOGo (the framework.jar replacement) and the fix for Netflix (the build.prop thing) but apparently, I did something wrong. I don't know how to fix this now and am really freaking out.
Build.prop is now back to where it was but the original framework.jar file that I cut and pasted in my root folder to hold in case I made a mistake is gone! So now I'm stuck with this "new" file that is screwing everything up. It has to be...it worked fine until I did this.
Any help here? Is there somewhere I can download the original framework.jar file??? Or do I have to re-install CM7?
Just flash the latest nightly or reflash your current build, you don't have to wipe anything and you'll be back up and running in no time.
Ok, so to do that I go to ROM Manager. And Flash CWM Recovery? Then what?
I am new at this and obviously not the most educated when it comes to all this fancy stuff.
BTW you don't need to edit your build.prop for netflix anymore.

Found the builds...how do I install?
I flashed cwm recovery and fixed permissions but it's still fc'ing the notification bar and also settings. This sucks.
This is what I get:
"The application Status Bar (process.com.android.systemui) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Same message as before the flash.

It didnt help
so i would be helpful if someone could make a flashable email.apk from cm7 and post it here

Have you try reflashing the same ROM on top of your current? That usually will put all the system installed apps back.

Did you go into Setting > Applications > and check mark on "Unknown Sources"? If not, it will not let you install the apk file.

Hi everyone,
I would like to install sony apps on my Xperia SP running aicp (no tangerine kernel). Problem is, apks won't install (app cannot be installed).
As far as I learned, it is because you have to disable signature verification, which I tried thanks to the thread on sont cross device development and with lucky patcher.
The two mehthods above had failed. When I restarted my device with the modified services.jar or the patches, it rebooted, started, then kernel adiutor says "applying settings on boot". When it finishes, device restarts again and keeps restarting until i delete lucky patcher or reinstall the original services.
now my question is, do you guys know a fix for this? Is it kernel's fault? Should i download tangerine? Is it because of kernel adiuitor? Are there other ways to install on cm?
Please respond, and thank you for reading!
Kind regards,
Deleunes254
did you try to push the app into system with the right permissions ?
or search for something called universal apk for music or album or movies on google

Lucky patcher itself? No i only installed lucky patcher apk, enabled it in xposed, restarted but then things happened. For the services.jar method, I set permissions to rw-r--r-- as told. Is it a fault maybe in my cellphone? @flash- maybe if i later cleaninstall Aicp10, which I probably have to clean install, and I do a clean whipe, maybe it would then work? :/ It's a reaaally strange bug and don't know how it's happening :/ google wasn't my friend this time :/

Got the music app working now....just pushed the apk in system>app with correct permissions and boom....started working
Hey! Can any one test this zip. Just flash this in recovery. I haven't tested cause my phone is in service centre (slipped from my hand).
After flashing see if music is compatible in play store or can be installed manually.
Please backup ur rom before flashing.
Please report if it works.

You don't need to reflash the ROM to remove system apps. Either go into the /system/app folder with a file explorer with root permissions & delete the apk or folder containing the apk or use something like Sys app remover to get rid of it. Just tried installing Music via adb and although I was successful, the bloody app refused to start. You know the standard Android "unfortunately, app has stopped working blah blah" nonsense. Used ES File Explorer to remove it.
Also dirty flashing probably won't help since it leaves what you installed as it is and you installed these apps. So either do a clean installation or remove them like I mentioned.

You mean just copy paste the apk in system/app folder with ES and change permission to rw-r-r? Did that and also tried it with adb but no luck. Same old "unfortunately, music has stopped" crap. Might have to try the other way now - flash the ported apps and update them via playstore.
Is it working for you properly? From where and which version of Music did you install?
