Is this for 1.5?
It's 1.5. Mine got updated too.
Yep for 1.5...I'm running Gumbo 1.5c
I'm doing my update right now as I type...
all you do is push to /system/app right... you dont actually need to click it and install it, right?
no idea...I used the flashrec method to root and I use a file explorer to install apks.
Confirmed Working on 2.1
just use a file manager like Estrongs , Astro or Linda to install the APK Linda
Install with Astro..no need to push it or anything.download astro file manager from the manager n open the apk,install.done....
Thanks for posting the update!
I installed the modacco rom and it did not have the sprint navigation. this thread is labeled as an update, will this perform the full install or do I have to have it installed first?
It will install as a APP runs smooth on mine
push sprint nav with fresh pre-kitchen...
run it from your phone and it will update itself....
Already updated, is there a change log somewhere?
I was coming from v2.1.
Edit:
Found something - http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/150540;jsessionid=2332946C8CBC06B631342D4107B0C81A.app2jive1#150540
this also shows whats different http://navigation.sprint.com/devices.html

Apparently we have 2.8 Lite.
Edit:
I rebooted my phone now it won't even run, instant FC.
Edit 2:
Rebooted again and the dam thing disappeared!!!! Not even in my Manage Applications list?!?!?!?!?!
We dont have lite or else we wouldnt have weather. I think we just do not have premium.
So I just found what appears to be a permanent fix for running the new android 2.2.6 market on Fission. I know others like myself were having a lot of issues with this. I'm on the 2.3.1 build of it.
Note: I have tried clearing cache, updating, etc... and haven't had a single Force Close error!
1) So I downloaded a copy of the market apk from here (I used the first alt link):
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/11/download-new-android-market-version-2-2-6-for-all-2-2-phones/
2) Then download the app ZipSigner off of the android market so we can resign the apk.
3) Open zipsigner and type in the location of the android_market.apk that you downloaded.
4) Give the output a new name like android_market-sign.apk
5) Install the new signed market file as you would any other app. It asks you about overwriting but just install it and it will "upgrade" your current app, just install it and it will be successful now.
6) Run the market normally and everything should be good!
Side Note: If you were to have any issues you can also just go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications->All, find the Market entry and click "Uninstall updates" and it takes you back to the normal 2.2.
Let me know if this works for you guys also!
Works great for me! Love it compared to the old market ..thanks for the fix. Never tried it before but its working fine now. What is the signer program for? Im curious what else it could be used for?

Works great. Thanks I did have to type it in manually also ,but it works
Edit, Nevermind.
Not workin for me. When try to install I get the "application not installed" warning.
*I installed the one i downloaded though. Seems to work fine...for now.
Thanks ... you know, sometimes it's amazing what you (I) can actually do if you only follow directions.. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thanks!!!
Sure it is going to help many users
If it does work over time I will post it on FRM.
I swore I signed it and it gave me FCs after a few reboots so maybe I did forget to sign

Just put the Android_Market.apk on the root of your sdcard then change the filepath to: /mnt/sdcard/Android_Market.apk
And change the signed output filepath to: mnt/sdcard/Android_Market_signed.apk
Then go to your sdcard either through file manager or root explorer or astro and just run the apk like you would any other.
I had some trouble to but just typing it in worked and now I have this working great!
With the zipsign update that came today you should just be able to select the file using the built in browser. Just give the output any other name like vending-sign.apk or something. Run the file then from any file browser after its signed.
And im not sure if this helps CM as I only have a droid 2 and just kinda accidentally stumbled on this fix as I was playing around with some other files but it prob should work

What can you accomplish when you zip sign apks?? I did the market fix and it worked well but I wanted to know why they need to be "signed"...can you sign maybe an apk you backed up from an old droid 2 that was rooted and paid for the apk but have a new google account and dont want to pay for it again..would that have them show up in market? Jw?

I have some issues with a device I bought (coby internet tablet 7015) that have resulted in my being unable to use the android market (I always get a 404 error) or the app that came with it (appslib) I seem unable to install any apps (with .apk) because I do not have a file manager. I'm looking for a way to install apps without one, or maybe one I can install that is not in .apk format!

Go into your browser on the device and find an apk for a file manager, then download it. when it's downloaded you should be able to open it through the browser. Then you can copy over an apk for ME (MarketEnabler) and install it. ME will let you use the market.
I wrote down some options:
1. If you rooted your phone and such you can just use adb from SDK
Code:
adb install [dir/package.apk]
(usb debugging enabled).
2. If you have internet on your device, upload a file manager apk you downloaded from a pc and put it where your phone can download it from with the browser. So when the download on your phone is complete you can click on the finished download in the notification bar and install it the file manager.
3. You can also try appbrain.
Though I think you should first fix the market problem. How about resetting the phone?
You can also use DropBox. Download the .Apk to your computer, pop it in your DropBox folder, open DropBox on your device, tap the Apk, and voila!
technically its not a phone its a "Coby internet tablet" but I get what you mean, and I have actually reset it to factory default's twice with no success.
To the first poster thanks, that did work to enable to to get the file manager but what is market enabler? and any suggestions on where I can find it?
http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/downloads/detail?name=MarketEnabler_v3.1.1.2.apk
It can fake a provider to get access.
How does it work? Every time I tried it would say "We've got a problem Houston"

errmmm... every time I install ME it's ok...
try installing the 2.2.6 market from this child forum??
try appbrain. It should let you start a direct download from your PC.
If everything fails then the only thing I can suggest is installing all apps from .apk

He would need root for it to work.
If you do have root, try this http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
It works better than MarketEnabler.
You do have WIFI enabled? And added your google account? Does it have a SIM card?

Thanks for your reply! May I know which version of O3D you using? I tried 2.3 V21A original FW and many different CFW (acurarom, King, Baxter...) but no help.

I'm using baxter rom from Echts but what I think the real solution is that I have edited the build.prop file with the correct values that LG forgot to include on the v21A update.
You can try to use my patch on this thread and see if that works for you.
Don't mind that the thread is saying that it's for skype. Just try it an let me know.

I modified but no help. I got a hint from that post and flash back to Android 2.2 original FW, it work! The apps from market can be download. Only flash to 2.3 is not compatible.
May I ask a stupid question, your baxter FW is a 2.3(GB)?

Yes it is gingerbread. I had a similar problem and what I did was to reinstall a 2.3 ROM. Then all the apps were working again. I recommend you reinstall a GB ROM after a full wipe and see if that works.

It works! I reinstalled 2.3 ROM. May be the acurarom has some bug. Because after I reinstalled 2.3 ROM and baxter, it still no problem. Once I install acurarom after baxter, many apps cannot find in market and incompatible such as "Smile shooter analog clock", "Maid live wallpaper", etc. Sadly, I just a newbie and have not enough permission to ask in development group
Anyway, thanks for your help~
Its an DPI related issue with new market.
Well I am facing same issue on new Market, it doesn't support dpi other than 240. I have no idea why google put dpi check on the new version of the market.
Anyway if any one want to know how to solve it. First you need to revert your dpi to 240 and restart the phone, and then go to manage Application under phone settings, click on market, and clear data after force closing it. Restart the market and Voila!
Cheers!
Edit: On other note download maket enabler from market if you need to install an app that is not available in your country of the market.

I extracted the problem ROM zip file and get the build.prop, it contain this line:"ro.sf.lcd_density=240". I think the dpi should be 240 but still having problem. In another "works" ROM (Baxter), it does not contain this line but it works.

Have you tried going to the app in app manager and clearing data and cache. If that doesn't do anything you could use a file explorer program to delete it from /system/app folder and then download it from play store.

Programs like root explorer will let you delete it. You have to select the r/w option though because /system is r/o by default.

Are you able to download other stuff from store or do you get the same error with other apps. I know nova isn't supported on our devices so maybe play store is just blocking it. Do you have the apk of the new version. You could try just copy and paste into you system app folder.

well it downloads angry birds. and i thought if an app wasnt supported on a certain device it didnt show up. bc i was running it before and the only problem i came across was that it wouldnt update.

[edit]
i rebooted my phone, this time after the loading screen, it said "Android is upgrading/updating" i dont remember which.... but Nova launcher keeps crashing.... trying to run the beta.... it wont start.
You could try and do the fix permissions option in recovery to maybe give it the right permissions. It might need a certain access level. Also it might have to be in /data/app for market to recognize it. Seems weird though that it's giving you so much trouble. I looked it up on my phone and it shows me the app but has the black bar that says "your device is not supported" in place of the download option. It would be nice if all apps just worked the way you wanted them to.

My wifes phone had that same issue. Everytime she took a video or picture she would have to unmount and remount the sd card for gallery to show it, and that only worked sometimes. She has never rooted and was just using the provided 8gb sd card. I bought her a new 16 gb class 10 from best buy for 20 bucks and she hasn't had the problem since.
