untill it starts to be in all the roms, any way to flash this?
i have the apk, tried to do it through App Installer
gonna try adb next
a few people are having problems with getting it to work on cyanogen based roms
I assume, though I could be totally wrong, that there will be no need to flash this or install it. Your market will just show up looking like that someday. In engadget's post about it, they mention "Google's pushing the update to every Android 1.6-and-above device over the next couple of weeks".
im not sure when ill add it ,, looks like some people are haven issues with apps ,, also not sure if i like the fact that if u pay for a app u only have 15 minutes to ask for a refund ,, what if the app works fine , then later on it doesnt work right? i guess u bought a bad app lol i dunno not sure if i like that
As far as I can tell, it's all just a new interface, plus, they changed things like only having 15mins now to get a refund instead of the 24hrs... which is kind of retarded.
The new market is working fine, all apps dloaded with it stick after reboot. If you're using this on a 2.1 rom, delete the Vendor.odex file in system/app if your rom isn't deodex'd already.
if you're on a CM rom, just rename the .apk to Vendor.apk (if it's named something else) and put it in system/app using adb or a file manager.
I attached it already renamed if anyone wants it...
So this is not a pushed update as engadget stated? How are all the other non-rooted android users gonna get it?

I'm not sure exactly, my guess would be through your google account, since it isn't a carrier specific update...
anyone know the answer to this?
I can make a flashable zip for those interested... even though all of you should be able to use adb or a file manager and place it in system/app by now
A flashable zip would be great. How did the market get the new "similar" and "related" tabs? I assumed this update would be pushed the same way. Btw, where are you getting the file to even make a flashable zip? Is it in the Android SDK or something?

you can find it on a few sites for download
Any ideas I installed the new market wiped, cleared data and all I can do is open the market up. As soon as I select an app it force closes on me.

This zip works great for me so far. Though I dont like the new market. The tabs made it easier to flip between things and the rotating apps at the top is slow on a slow phone. It looks like they tried to make it look nicer (and failed in my opinion) but ended up making it less functional.
Google apps always look simple and sophisticated. This Market overhaul looks overdone and tacky with too much "pizzaz".

hmmm it might just be preinstalled on new android devices, since i dont think any carrier would do a OTA update, so maybe only rooted users will have the new market for a while?
any other thoughts?

Yeah, that shocked me. 15 minutes isn't much time to make sure an app works fine for your purposes. For apps that have free/trial versions, then you can check those out first, but what if it's the paid options that don't sufficiently work. I think one or two hours is reasonable, but 15 minutes is ridiculous.
I think ROMs should keep the current version of the market and people can use flashable zips to go to the new version if they want.

I'm not certain how many on here have used the new market, but i find it HORRENDOUS!
I plan on moving an old version of Vending.apk to system/app to replace it.
My concern is the market will automatically update. Can anyone comment who has tried this already? Is there any way to avoid it updating, or can the ROM developers prevent this in their custom ROMs?
I really have no clue why developers are using it.... its just SO bad. This is the first time I have been disappointed with Googles direction with Android.
how did it automatically update?? OTA???

actually the MARKET does auto-update itself. how do i know? because i received the new market without any mods to the market the night people started to report the update. plus theres a 1st party apk called MARKET UPDATER.
100% sure this will work. go to SETTINGS/APPLICATIONS/make sure the filter is set to ALL and scroll down to MARKET... click it and hit UNINSTALL UPDATES. this method worked when i received the the SIMILAR tab update,but im not sure if itll completely remove the NEW revamped market.

Well, the Market DOES AUTO-Update, even if you Uninstall Updates.... that's the problem.
I suppose I will move an old Market and replace the current one in system/app... but I imagine that if I freeze (titanium backup) the Market Updater app that may lead to problems? I don't think that app can be removed and not cause FC's... I would love to know that is incorrect.
If that is the case, I imagine it would be easy to avoid the new market. Anyone else hate this new updated market and tried this yet?

i just tried the "uninstall updates" method and i will let you know how long it takes for my phone to update back to the new market
it does auto update and installs in data/app not system/app
Check the cache for the update apks. I all ready have two in my cache.
I thought I may get used to the UI.... I am not. Still FUGLY and not intuitive.
Has anyone tried
1. Uninstalling the update with data & wifi off
2. Using a shell and changing the permissions of the Market.apk to read only?
Anyone had success with this?
Uninstalling the update does nothing for me now.

Download the axura rom. Extract go to system apps then get the vending app and put it on ur current rom for some reason... Axura s market doesn't work like others it never updates.
I used it for 2 weeks and it never updated. Try that but save your current vending in case out doesn't work.

can you just post the market.apk here? downloading an entire ROM just for one app sounds really unappetizing haha
outside of the above suggestion,I have personally tried every method you could possibly think of to permanently revert back to an old market, but this btch is quite relentless. I may create a Nandroid backup and uninstall the Market Updater....just to see what happens.
^ yeah, I have given up hope and now just hope Google can make another "improvement" to the market. It needs to change... I was LOVING the now older version with "Related" added, but the new UI and 15 minute policy just sucks (for me anyway).
I am a big Google Voice user and noticed that the Market wouldn't let me download it for the 10.1.
I snagged this from over at AndroidCentral so I can't take any credit but I figured I would toss it here for anyone who wanted GV on their tab.
Its taken from the Xoom but I am running it on my rooted 10.1 without issue. Enjoy.

you can use something like androzip or basically anything that lets you look into the sd card (or the fake one the tab tells you it has) so you can locate the apk file you downloaded
Works here.
I had previously tried another Voice version (forget from where) without sucess.
FWIW, I emailed the apk - from the first post here - to my gmail account (as an attachment of course.)
When I openen the email on my Retail:Rooted device, "Install" (not "Download") was the option for the attachment.
Agreed to access...and it installed over whatever was there.
Looks the just the same as on my Galaxy GT-I9000 phone. (But 10.1 size )

Download astro or any other filemanager, and then just find where the apk was downloaded. If you try and open it through astro, it will ask to take you to the app manager, where you can install it.
I have installed plenty of apps straight from the browser.
Just make sure you have the option to allow unknown sources to be installed selected, under settings, applications.

My guess is that the one labeled Xoom actually came from a phone as well. It may have been modified to work on Honeycomb but that is only a guess. I do know that there isn't a downloadable version of Google Voice for any Honeycomb tablet. The version I posted is a later release (bug fixes and better battery usage) and required no modification to work.
I've had no issues with the one I posted and it is easy on the battery. Add GrooVe IP and you can do voice calls as well.
Hope that helps,
Andy

Well, it sounded simple. I thought I'd just need to change some text in the updater-script file before I amassed it all in the kitchen, but its not that simple apparently. Item 151 on today's glitch list
Edit: if I package the rom w the updater, then extract the updater n add at the beginning ui_print("jibberish");
repackage n sign, would that work?
Yes, but you can also do it before hand. When it is building, and it gets to the point of converting the "update" script to a "updater" script, you can go into your working folder and edit it.
But also, after the build is done, you can keep the file compressed and edit the script also
Either way.

I think im going to put it out without themeing any apps, just framework n the system. Its going to be a slimmer version of your hybrid. Doesn't seem as fast though but that might be bc I switched to adw ex from lpp, and I have every widget n animation going I can fit. I also might swap the music.apk with honeycombs, it goes w gallery3d well.

Also, are the NC apps somehow optimized for tablets/NC?
If you extract the apk and then install on CM7 it should work.

I too would be interested in this. So I guess what the OP and I would be looking for is a walk though on how to do something like this. I am assuming I would have to install ADB on my PC and then what? I know about ADB push for manually side loading stuff, but for copying from the device?
The second part is I am nootered. I don't know about the OP, but would that make a difference? Supposedly ADB wireless is already installed on my nook.
To get an apk from the nook with adb, you'd do:
adb pull /data/app/filename.apk
Assuming its a data app, and not a system. Also note, it's all case sensitive.
Are these apks mentioned above specific to each device? Or could they just be pulled from someone's and posted here (unless paid apps of course)?
If so, happy to do that.

Seems I can't. That is all. The store relies on the native framework.
Bro, that's not what your first post says. If u know how to do this, print a logcat or tell us what kinda errors you're getting so someone can help. If the apps are in fact different, i could compare the apk to an original and see what is changed.. And then maybe progress.

Hey bra, what apps you talkin' bout?
What I've done:
Copied Shop/BNPolicy.../BN [every other app]/ from the 1.3 zip in system/app to my CM7.1 install into system/app. Changed permissions, rebooted. Shop fails to install. I think the shop.apk is only meant for froyo (is 1.3 still froyo?). I might tear about the apk and try to change the manifest, but if anyone else has any ideas, let me know.
In any event, I'll probably wait until the 1.4 rollout and see what they have, and how easily that could be ported over to CM7.1.
TO REITERATE: I want to be able to buy BN apps for the NC on CM 7.1 WITHOUT restoring stock. Also, are BN apps actually optimized for NC? Anyone care to post a freebie apk from stock NC and see how it compares to a market equivalent?

That would be interesting. To purchase apps using the stock shop in a non stock rom.
I was just hoping to run something besides stock and not lose the $$ I had invested in purchased apps through the stock store by being able to run them on CM7 or HC or whatever comes along.

You can always dual-boot. It is a minor inconvenience to reboot everytime, but will do the job until something better comes along.
Hey all,
I know this is an old thread, but with cm9, CM could become my go to rom on the NC (it was rooted stock).
I realized that what I liked about stock was the way it used the status bar. This was something cm7 tried to emulate, but it is smoother in ics. In addition, the tablet style apps work well on ics.
Anyway, back to the discussion at hand.
I have been able to sideload every app I purchased from the nook store to my cm7 (and the ones I tried, cm9) partition successfully.
However, I heard there were issues using the system app.
I will start to play with the preloaded apps when I get a chance (which will be a while, we have exams this week).
I will report back as I do. Here is what I already know...
The shop will not work on gingerbread (or ics) without an edited manifest (or edited buildprop).
It was made under froyo.
I will report back when I learn more.
~Leko
Just thought I would post progress...
All apps I purchased from BN work (I did not buy many, but they do work).
As does Chess, and Crossword (I assume soduku will work).
However, none of the system apps do.
I tried running and installing Reader, browser, shop, launcher and a few others as well as the settings app. And, none of them would install or allow titanium to install either. This is with an edited build prop.

on CM, and they took out a lot of bloat which is good
but there was an app on stock at&t rom that would log you in automatically when you get to at&t hotspots(like mcdonalds) etc
anybody have this .apk?

hmmmm ok, well i saw that but skipped over it
because on all my other roms/including stock, i dont remember it being an app,it would just auto-connect
and it was always a system apk as well
let me go check it out though
It was excluded because CM10 has absolutely nothing to do with ATT. Or any phone for that matter. So unless somebody kangs CM10 and adds in an app, it's going to always be as bare bones Android as you can get.
Essentially, CM10 isn't ever a bloat removed version of any phones stock ROM, because it's build from aosp source, so the bloat was never there to begin with, and likely wouldn't be added in anyways.

I like that app as well. That wsa the only thing I didn't like about my ROM, so I did a nandroid, restored to stock, pulled that system app, and restored my nandroid.
Lucky for you and anyone else that wants it, I just happen to have placed it in my Dropbox.
Make sure to place it in /system/app (Don't install it like a normal APK) and change permissions to rw-r--r--
You will need to manually connect to attwifi the first time if you haven't already.

I use att smart wifi from the play store, its the same thing

It connects automatically when you're in range?

way different
the system app one is just hotspots,mostly ATnT ones i believe
the one in the market can affect connection to your home wifi and work etc
plus, ones an app you can open, the other isnt

the system app one, like if you're at mcndonalds , will connect to it automatically (mcndonalds is one of the stores on ATnT wifi partnerships)
if you didnt have the app, you can still connect(its free wifi no password) but you would have to first open up a browers, read the agreement, and hit accept blah blah, before you can start using the wifi. again the system app skips all that and just connects you

It also skips all the payment info at some places that still charge for WiFi, so long as it's powered by AT&T. I wouldn't mind having this feature back as well, even though I'd rarely ever use it. Honestly, my cell is faster than the WiFi at any Starbucks or McDonalds around here. But I can see a use for it while traveling. Maybe download one of the stock ROM flashable zips and just extract the necessary apk, put it in /system/app and see if it will work that way. I'd try myself, but I'm a tad busy lately and already in trouble for all my downloading this month.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the one on Play is too bloated. I don't want that junk handling all my WiFi.
Is this what you guys are looking for

I just rooted Sony Ericsson Xperia X10a and was going through the cleanup list when I came across this file. I wasn't sure what this file was for until I read this post. I am cleaning it up but here is a copy - in case you can make use of it.

Good call. He's clearly not as crafty and trustworthy as you, Mr. Replying-to-a-year-old-post. You're really the gold standard in solid membership.
Boom!

Well, Mr. Useless Retort, I was searching for this very apk and was about to download it until I looked at his stats. You see, the fact that a post is a year old doesn't make a lot of difference if it has information you need. You see, Mr Useless, that's why the forum goes back many years.
Note that my reply wasn't intended for him, it was to warn off anybody else who might think about downloading this.
See how that works??
I think you can get this apk from the market, or what I do is google for apks -- especially older ones when the market updates me and the update sucks. I haven't been burned yet.

Googling for the apk is what brought me to this thread. I've never been burned with a download, either, but then I've never downloaded one from somebody with a single post.
