Root New Market

New android market apk - xda-developers

Also info here: Android Market gets a smart new look

Martimus · Jul 13, 2011

And I can definitely confirm that it works fine on the NC running Phiremod 6.3. I installed the new market APK last night on both my Droid X and my NC. I'm holding off on installing it on my Xoom until the Android 3.2 update gets pushed to my tablet...

colchiro · Jul 13, 2011

I was wondering about installing on the DX. I backed up my NC first, just in case.

I always liked the "My Apps" link on the home page and wished I had that on the DX.

Make sure you press the menu button to check out the options there (filtering).

WOW! The new Market is slick. After putting it on the Nook Color immediately put it on my "X".

You can get an inverted (black) version here: Market 3.0.26 optimized - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum.

I'm running it on my NC and OG Droid now. A note about the current version of the inverted Market, though -- they're still working on getting it to pick up a white text color on some of the screens, so unless you're running a theme that changes the text color to white or something light (light blue in my case), the app names can be challenging to read.

Installed on my Droid PRO and love it. Just installed on my NC and get the following error:

Authentication required. Please log into your Google account.

I'm running Phiremod.

Any ideas....?

GirLuvsDroid · Jul 15, 2011

I got that once, too, and I think all I did was go to Settings>Accounts and sync and sync my Gmail account. Then when I opened the Market, it worked fine.

Trying to install the New Market for 2 days now. All I get is application not installed. I have tried moving to SD card, leaving on device, unmounting SD Card, tried a new SD card, installing without SD card and I get the same error. Any suggestions??

colchiro · Jul 15, 2011

Moving any app to sdcard is asking for trouble. Lots of documented cases of apps that crash or even reboot your device when the usb cable is plugged into your computer.

How are you trying to install it, by opening it with Root Explorer or a similar app?

Did you try fixing permissions in Rom Manager?

Did you try clearing data in Settings.... Applications... Market (I think there's two Market apps there), then open old Market, then installing? or install without opening old Market or something similar to this?

Never had the USB cord attached at all. I am now trying the suggestions you listed. Will report back. Thanks!! Using Astro File Manager to install btw.

Update: Tried all methods and nothing. Same message. New Market will not install. It has upgrade or uninstall buttons during the process and I have been using upgrade. Is that the correct way?

colchiro · Jul 15, 2011

All I did was tap the file from Root Explorer, choose "install".

I get a dialog that asks to "install"? Then Replace "OK"?

Then I get the standard Market "install" or "cancel".

Then a choice of "open" or "done".

I went into Settings... applications, found Market, and uninstalled updates. I reopened Market and installed it again to tell you what it said.

Maybe you need to redownload it.

If you don't install it now, it'll get pushed to you in a few days anyway.

Are you running stock rom?

Yes running stock ROM. In Astro it goes to the app manager and says Uninstall, Upgrade or Launch. Launch opens the market I have now. Upgrade takes me to the standard market install screen. I hit install and only get Installing....then application not installed. Strange. I can install anything else just fine from the market. I appreciate the help.

I'm pretty sure I read that new market will not run on rooted stock ROM. I'll link you if I come across the thread again.

Fully inverted new Market 3.0.26 now available, in two different versions (screen shots available in the respective threads). To install on my Nook Color, I extracted the zip, and used Root Explorer to move the apk to /system/app, then set permissions and rebooted.

Is anyone else having problems with apps that don't have a "Download" link on the apps Market page?

I don't know if it's a compatibility thing but it's for apps that I would normally have on the nook.

Running CM7 from EMMC...

Definitely - I have the same issue where some apps don't have a 'download' link to click on. Can't stand the new Market....

koopakid08 · Aug 11, 2011

The new market is really annoying. To download certain apps you have to uninstall the updates in settings

colchiro · Aug 11, 2011

Some people unstalled market updates, then froze the market updater with Titanium Backup (or rename it with Root Explorer) to prevent the new one from coming back.

leffe · Aug 12, 2011

Thanks for the feedback guys, as always colchiro is there!

So what's the best mitigation process? Where can I uninstall the market update? I can handle the freeze market updater part with Ti backup.....

REALLY glad to know I wasn't the only one with this problem. Here's another one for you, and this was taking place before I updated the market....Phandroid had a nice writeup on Star Blitz by glu and said it had been out for a week. I couldn't find the app in the market anywhere! Try it and see what you get out of the market....

Thanks guys

EDIT: Sorry guys, super easy, shoulda tried before I asked!

colchiro · Aug 12, 2011

Yup, under apps.

Or you could have restored your backup from early July from TIBU, then froze it.

yosmoovkid · Aug 12, 2011

I am having a the same problem with the new market. FB, Adobe Flash 10.3 player, etc. are not allowing me to dl. Any ideas?

Podivin · Aug 12, 2011

As mentioned above, go back to the old market app.

yosmoovkid · Aug 12, 2011

I just dl'd the apk files and installed with no problems.

I believe the new market is device aware. So if your device is not listed as 'compatible' with the app there will be no download link.

racing4funn · Aug 22, 2011

This market was my fist one installed a week ago when rooted. I don't have a download link with some apps such as YouTube. I don't have a older version to go back too
