Everytime I try to open a widgetlocker theme .zip it just opens it with rom manager without asking me what I want to open the file with. I have also tried dropping the zip directly to the theme folder and still get nothing.
i am using an inspire running cm7.0.3 and widgetlocker 2.1.0
i tried searching and could not find anything on this issue that helped, thanks in advance

Going into Settings ~~> Applications ~~> Manage Applications ~~> Select Rom Manager ~~> Select Clear defaults about half way down page ~~> try opening again.
No defaults are set for rom manager
What are you using to open the zips? Try Androzip. Or even easier. Move the zips to the sdcard/data/teslacoil.widgetlocker folder and you're golden. No need to open it then.
Sent from my Xoom or Thunderbolt, pick one
Alright I feel dumb, I was putting them in the sdcard/data/teslacoil.widgetlocker but I did not know what to do after that so I was just going to settings instead of long pressing heh.
thanks for the fast replies though!

When you are in manage applications, there is no home?
i cant find the advanced launch under manage aplications?
Cyan doesn't include advanced laucher... you installed a theme for it. Flash the template and it will revert back to the original.
or adb install -r launcher.apk, or replace it with the other.
yes i realized its the original but i want the original 3 screens and 4 icons per row
You can try pushing the launcher from Dwang's ROM. No guarantee it will work though. I do not know which .xml's were edited for that, but it should work
For those of you who didn't already know, a new Android Market was released today! The Market was updated to v2.2.6. It will gradually roll out to different phones. Those of you who want it now can install it with this easy .apk file.

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.

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?

They are exactly like the picts show.the only white background is the lighter blue one
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.

wow Maybe try fixing permissions in Rom manager or Recovery and see if that help
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) !

Ok I followed GabrialDestruir guide and it went off with out a hitch.. Much thanks.
My question is I have some apk files I want to install when I try to install them they say that install is blocked (how do I get around this)
and when I try and plug my NC via usb I done see the system folder to be albe to place them in the app directory
1. Uncheck the install non-market apps box in "nookcolor tools", recheck it, try again.
1a. Same as above, reboot.
or
2. Install Astro file manager from market. Goto menu/tools/apps manager in Astro.
or
3. Install Appinstaller from market, try that.
You should be more specific in your thread subject btw.
I tried to install my first apk with different file managers, but when I tried to install it with help of Root Explorer without remounting to rw, it installed my apk.
Now I can install my apk files directly from download list of my browser.
thanks guys... for some reason just had to uncheck it and recheck it and it works fine now
A couple suggestions if you haven't done so already. Download ADW launcher or Launcher Pro. And to switch between home screens to test which one is better get "Home Switcher" from market. (it will let you revert to B&N home screen easily)
And "Quick Boot" in the market does wonders for a quick restart instead of messing with that weird power button.

When I attempted to update my market I failed, now every time I try and open the app it force closes.
Is there any way I could revert back to the old market?
Much appreciated in advance.
I've been having the same problems too. Any help would be good.
Search function
search for vending.apk to use the seach function is not that hard
When you find the vending.apk, before you install it, go into settings --> applications, choose Market, and clear its cache. Then, using a root-enabled file browser, delete vending.apk from /system/app, then reboot and then you should be able to install your new vending.apk. System apps have to be deleted like this most of the time in order to be uninstalled/reinstalled. Good luck
-HD2 Android-
Thanks for the help but I just installed a different rom and stuck with the old market.
Having a new market doesn't really matter too much to me anyway, i just thought it would look nice.
