[Q] New Android Market (2.2.6)

Hi,
I have seen that some people have posted the latest version of the Android Market (2.2.6) as an apk file.
My questions are:
- If it will this work on DHD and correctly overwrite the old Market app and the market update utility ?
- Is installing the app this way legal ?

So anyway I did install it and it works fine.
A much needed upgrade.

I believe you can use this new market .apk file without problems, but I've read that a new official update is cooming soon, so if you doubtful if it's illegal, just wait.

It is working well here. If anyone wants it
Taken from here
Go to Settings>Applications>Mange Applications>Market>Clear Data... then install.

For some reasson I can't update it =(...

Wiped old market installed fine

Uhhh for me it seems to be the other way around :S! The new one loads almost instantly, the old one took a few more seconds.

cud my longer start-up time be related to the fact that i downloaded the apk file from here and installed the update manually ?

Thanks for the post.
Runs perfectly on my DHD. Better than the old version actually. A very welcome market update.

Could not install on CM 6.1 RC2... any ideas??

Works fine on my DHD with stock rom in Norway. Forgot to wipe data, but it didn't matter.
Will try on Galaxy Tab soon.
Not tested the shorter window for refund yet.

I wiped data after i downloaded and installed the New Market apk File. I still am facing the issue of waiting for the market to launch . Takes Abt 5s and is irritating. Is this normal ?

Is the new Market here in this thread for rooted phones?

[Q][Solved]Why are alot of apps not showing in the market?[Solved]

Hello,
Ever since I updated to CM7. I've run into the problem that certain apps aren't visible in the market on my phone. they are present on the online market but I'm unable to install them.
Does anyone else have the same problem ? and has anyone found a solution?
(Personally I'm running Wgspoelstra's v2.9 (based on nightly .29))
Problem is solved!
solution is posted on page 2 by NL_B!

I can't find Vendetta online in the market either, and i'm running stock (rooted)

hmm I had no such problems on stock just on 2.3.4 CM7

That's because the app isn't compatible with your device (in theory).
But most of the time, that's not true. Just search the apk using other ways and install it with your favourite file manager.

Vendetta is only for tabs btw

Well i cant find the apk on the internet so i cant push it to my phone to try
Can you find it in the market? Its called tweakers.net

I'm using the Spanish May version of the stock rom, rooted and installed yesterday.
I can find the app in Market.

Check your "Market" parameters
Maybe you have enabled "content filtering" by mistake as I did once causing a lot of apps not to be displayed...

What you need to do is install google apps one more time. http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/. Use the 20110307 Universal, download it and install it from recovery like how you install the CM7.
I'm familiar with this problem. WG forget to include some components from the google apps.

Use Eris Market Fix (if you are rooted). Worked perfect for me. You can find it market.

Thanks,
I gave it a try, at first I thought It hadnt worked so i rebooted the phone and read the site and it said it would work after the 2nd or 3rd market 'start' and it actually did! awsome

Hi eniux, actually the best way to reset the market (in case it won't download, happened to me couple of times) is to clear the market data.
Go to settings, applications, click on market, clear data.
If you enter the market it will ask you to agree with terms, condition, etc. After this everything will work as it should.

No install . apk option in Cwm?

I just installed Cm 7 alpha 3 and I am trying to install the latest Skype but it fails when I just run the . apk and when I go into cwm I do not have the install. Apk?
Anyone know how I can install this..?

you dont install apks in cwm, you do it in android.
go to settings-> applications, and check the unknown sources box
then go to the file manager built into android, navigate to the apk, and then click on it. you will be prompted to install the app.
hit install and it will be installed.

Cheers, I will try that tomorrow.

"File Manager" is not built in to the version Sony Ericsson uses. Glad to see it on the TouchPad though. Let me ask: Is there a "notepad" or "notes" app that is supposed to be built in? SE didn't include one of those either.

I've actually used it before and I do agree: It's good. I was just curious about the "built in" statement because, to my knowledge, there is no standard one "built in" to Android and it can be a problem.

CM7 has one built it but a pure AOSP build like the SDK doesn't IIRC.

Download one from Play Store. ES should get you started.

I use file manager hd, from rhythm software, available free in the play store. Use the version for tablets, it works great.

Well what Rom have you Flashed? The more information you provide the easier it is to provide an answer, as the gapps will vary depending on your Rom.

[Q] How do I install apps not supported from the Play Store?

Hello everyone,
I recently rooted my KF HD 8.9 and installed the Play Store. All is well and most of the apps I want installed without an issue.
However there's one app that I swear by that isn't "supported on this device". Chrome.
I ended up sideloading an APK I grabbed from the web but that's neither ideal and it's not a current version.
My question is:
Is there a way to bypass the "not supported" message via an app like Market Enabler?
OR
Is there another (I'd imagine legal) way to obtain the current APK from an alternate website?

Not sure if this will help you but I'll share my method. What I do is just download whatever app I need to my SGS1 and back it up with Titanium Backup. Then, I mount it to my PC and pull the .apk out of the TitaniumBackup folder and side load it. I did this with Nova Launcher and HD Widgets and so far everything is working wonderfully.

It will not help because it will redirect you into Google play

Since chrome is free then this is legal

Nope, the 1mobile market app does the upgrade by itself.
It even upgrades sideloaded apps
btw... it will mark the kindle skype app as outdataded, do not, i repeat do not substitute the kindle skype with the market skype.

Ligux and Google market "This item is not compatible"

I am currently using LiGUX + N.O.P.E. Kernel V2.6.
I found one problem and maybe someone can help me.
I cannot install an application from Google market.
There is a cross mark and message "This item is not compatible with your device".
But earlier when I used CyanogenMod10 BUILD #3 + N.O.P.E. Kernel V2.6. or at begin with stock ROM I have nothing problem use this application.
If I am using Market helper to hide my device, then I can install this application, but cannot run. In this case is error something like "missing library".
Any suggestion or idea what to do?

Open up settings, click on applications and select play store...
Scroll down until you find clear data and cache...clear them...
They will remove all the settings, account logged in the play store. Hence you can open it fresh.
Check if it works...

You Can try Warriors Method but here is a explanation!
The Gplay Store Reads the build prop file so if there is modifications to it that the app doesn't support Google play will say NO!
I would try editing the build.prop file

This is caused by missing dependencies. Check the thread for Codename Lungo, I explain the steps to get it fixed. It'll be useful if you can tell which app is giving you trouble.

I see, it uses location-aware dependencies. First make sure you have Google Maps and Google Search installed. Then try deleting the cache of Play Store, reboot and try again. If it's still not working then try the steps in the Codename Lungo thread.

Yes. That should fix it. I need to edit that post because it's missing a few steps:
A) You need to have Google Maps and Google Search installed.
B) After you extract the file to the Permissions folder, assign same r/w permissions.
3) After you complete the steps, clear Play Store cache and then reboot.
Let me know if you need more help.
