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.

New Market 3.0.26 working on Zio

Don't wait... get the new Market on your Zio NOW!!!
Google Market now offers books and streaming movie rentals with a completely new theme. It is working fine with the openZio rom. The movie rentals will not stream while rooted, but you can use Universal Androot to unroot watch a movie, then reroot when your done watching the movie. There may be some issues with Titanium Backup and market links.
<Edit> titanium backup now supports the new version of market

Thanks, nice find... now for a rom that runs with less memory and is faster.

i tried downloading and it said device not supported, and i cant open when saved to my desktop..what am i doing wrong??
my bad..figured it out

The only thing I'm still dealing with since this market update, is not being able to erase Market Search History. I've tried all the apps that worked before the update but now none of em work. Search history list is just growin. I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin.
Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!

This will clear your Market History.
Clear market cache and force stop market
(Settings >Applications>Manage Applications
select Market then hit Clear cache and Force stop)
Use Root Explorer and delete
"/data/data/com.android.vending/databases/suggestions.db"

Negative! I pressed, settings -applications- manage applications- all applications- market, and the cache was already 0, forced stopped, home. Then market, magnifying glass (search), and WHAM- big o list of search history. I'm not "rooted" (shouldn't have to be to clear search history). Id try the root thing but I don't know how.
Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!

I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND WHY MARKET SEARCH HISTORY ERASER'S DONT WORK SINCE THE MKT UPDATE! Am I the only one......
Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!

I think that its time for you to save some money and start paying attention
You can't use root explorer until you root your phone because its an app for rooted phones only.
1. Get the Universal ANDroot app v1.6.2 beta 5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598
2. Go to the android market and download Astro file manager (free version).
3. Copy and paste the Universal ANDroot apk to the root directory of your sd card (not inside other folders) via your usb cable.
4. In Astro manager, browse for the ANDroot apk and choose 'install.' If 'unknown sources' and USB debugging are unchecked then Astro will prompt you to enable them.
You can do it manually by going to /settings/applications/unknown sources and then to /settings/applications/development/USB debugging.
5. Once the installation begins, choose 'hard root' which is for the long term. Soft root temporarily roots your phone meaning that your phone will become unrooted after a reboot.
6. After rooting successfully, you will be given 'superuser' privileges. Apps that are for rooted phones will ask for permission to install and function.
7. Once your done rooting, deselect 'unknown sources' in settings. You don't need that feature enabled anymore for security precautions. Unknown sources allows the installation of non-market apps. First know what you download.
Finished! You can unroot your phone by using the ANDroot app and to unroot.

Where did he say he wasn't rooted? I must've missed that somewhere.
XD
BTW: Titanium Backup is now fully supporting the new market.

I am sorry if I was not clear. You have to clear the cache, force stop, then delete the file. You have to be rooted to do this.
You can also wait for history cleaner to be updated to support market again

I ain't rooted. But if market history erasers will eventually be working again soon then ill just wait till. Thanks for all the help n advice.

Hulu Plus on Bionic *UPDATE Officially supported now*

*UPDATE* Hulu Plus is now officially supports on the Bionic, this method is no longer required but keep in mind this method works for multiple unsupported android devices.
So if you want Hulu Plus just go to the market ;-)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hulu.plus&feature=search_result
All Credit goes to this post, as i use this method for my Asus Transformer.
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?2526-FIX-Hulu-Plus-APP-working-on-CM7
Directions:
1. You Need Root
2. Get Titanium Backup if you don't already have it. Run it and aprove the superuser permission request.
3. Download this file http://goo.gl/MG2xh
4. Extract Zip and a folder labeled Titanium Backup with 3 files inside should appear.
5. Place those 3 files in the sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder (Keep in mind that Droid Bionic mounts its internal storage as /sdcard/ so you need to move those files into the internal and not your sd card)
7. Launch Titanium Backup, Backup/Restore, scroll all the way down and you'll see huluplus.
8. Restore app with data and enjoy HuluPlus!!!
UPDATE:
I forgot to add that you cant have Adfree installed on the phone, or any other modified hostfile program

I'm getting a message that my device is not supported with this app.
Is anyone else getting this or is there something I've broken in my device (damn near bricked it first day).
SCRATCH THAT; rebooted and all is working. Much thanks to the OP.

It works for me as well, thanks a lot dude!

Worked after a little while. Titanium backup was being stubborn for some reason. Thanks a lot!

I was having the same issues with TB finding the backup, had to uninstall Hulu+ and all my backups, then copy in the files and reboot before it loaded lol
On the good news, yes it is WAY worth it dept., this works over HDMI out!!!

i was able to successfully unzip, restore and run HuluPlus following the instructions provided.
But it needs a user/pass to access most options -- is this what others are getting too?

Yeah it's normal. The Hulu Plus app is only meant for paying members to my knowledge. The video is very high quality compared to what I get on Netflix most of the time.

I can't seem to get it to work. It launches, I can sign in, but when I click on anything to play I hear the audio but get no video.
Any ideas?

Hmm that's weird. Have you tried uninstalling and starting over? The only time I don't get any video on my phone in Hulu is when I'm doing mirror mode via HDMI to my TV.

Are you using Adfree or a similar ad blocking tool? If you are blocking ads, hulu won't work correctly.

I keep getting "Device not supported"... am I doing something wrong? I rebooted and still get this error message.

Bionic is now officially supported by Hulu Plus, no hacking required.

I downloaded the application from the market to my Bionic and every time i try to play a video, the advertisement plays fully but when the actual show or movie starts, it force crashes 2 seconds in, every time. Anyone else?

[Q] Trouble with paid Apps?

I picked up two HTC One devices today as soon as the Sprint Store opened. I have as of yet not be able to download any previously purchased paid applications.
This includes several rather expensive EA games, that just say "Not Compatible with your Device" which doesn't even allow me to download to my device. (Mass Effect Infiltrator and Need for Speed shift come to mind first)
All other paid apps seem to download, but fail to install. (such as Weatherbug Elite and Minecraft Pocket Edition) I've tried from phone, as well as the Google Play website on my PC.
I'm in the US, on Sprint. Tried both WIFI and 3g.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, did you find a solution?
Thank you in advance.

For the ones that say not compatible: wait until compatibility is added. I've come across the same multiple times and some never gained compatibility with my device. That is on the app developer, not the app store
For the other issues, go to settings>apps>all
Delete cache and data for both Google play store and Google framework services and force stop both. That should fix

Thanks for the quick reply. I did both things you suggested. Once I cleared and force stopped, I had to restart the phone, as I kept getting the "No Connection" error on the Play Store, on both WiFi and Sprint.
Once I rebooted, I attempted to install another paid app, and it again failed. The error is "Couldn't Install on USB storage or SD card." (again I can install any other app that I didn't pay for)
If its important I did root, I'm running TWRP recovery and ViperRom 1.0.

Same problem on stock root Rom. My friend is unrooted and the same apps install fine

You could try installing esfile manager on your old phone that the apps work on and backing up the apps to the sd card then copy the backed up apk to the HTC one to install it might not work but I have done this many of times with my EVO 3d ans my touch pad

That's on deodexed roms only. It may be a permissions issue. The apks themselves install fine from your sdcard if you have them.

The current idea is this:
Downloading paid apps requires writing a temp file to mnt/.asec/
But the issue is, mnt is read only.
It should be fixed in no time. Vipers the man.

It's not always a temp file. In the case of Swiftkey the actual apk is in mnt/. Asec. I was able to pull it from my dna and install from my card.

Apps can't save data

Ok, so I have a rooted note 3. Everything seemed fine. Flashed the stock Lollipop rom from the thread here on XDA. Flashed the OC1 and OC2 updates. Phone boots fine and is working great except for one thing. I tried adding the swiftkey app, and it loads fine, but it doesn't automatically install the language pack. When I try to download the language pack from within swiftkey, it downloads, but says that it can't save it. This also happens with other apps that have downloadable content within them (boot animations app, rom manager app, Zedge app, etc). Does anyone have any ideas on what would cause this. Had rooted phones for many years, and never had this sort of problem.
Thanks in advance.

You need to run an app that will allow the SD card to be used for storage. I use next app SD card fix.
