Hey guys. This isn't anything fancy, I found this in Nfinite's Stock ROM thread. It is the updated Market.apk that was pushed by Google to a lot of devices (except ours, unfortunately). It has the ability to auto-update Apps, and looks a lot more like the Froyo one. It also has fixed my issues with Apps not downloading or taking forever to download with the market.
Here it is! You will need to use Astro/EStrongs File Manager or install this through Android Commander.
If this doesn't work, remove the original Vending.apk from your System/App folder, rename the new Market apk to Vending.apk and push it into System/app. (Thanks Impaler)
Also, it'd be great if you stated what ROM you use and which of the above installation methods you used, just so people have an idea of what might work better. For instance;
I used this with NFinite's Latest Stock ROM, using EStrongs File Explorer to Install.
Download
This is great! Testing now. I'm sick of all these bugs with the market. I didn't think it was going to get any better until I upgraded to something new this March. Thanks!

It works perfectly! Thanks for this update.
Did install but it wouldn't install. Used astro and estrong.
Running fresh 2.4
It tells no reaaon.
Any way?

You need to first get rid of your market by uninstalling with titanium or through adb, and then reboot and install this one
Just a clarification, do you simply remove Vending.apk or MarketUpdater.apk as well?

Both This app should replace both when you install
Thanks! Seems to work just fine by simply pushing the new apk into system/app. I did rename it to Vending.apk to remove the space and resigned it, just to make sure.

Great to hear
i just figured i'd post this for people using the same rom as mine. I'm using blue echo which is a themed fresh rom. Unininstall market(vending.apk) and marketupdater.apk via titanium back up and reboot. Place app in tools directory of your sdk folder. Rename market apk to vending.apk.
Change directory to android sdk tools directory via adb. code is as follows:
adb remount
adb push vending.apk /system/app
That's all you need to do.
I can't thank you enough for this.
I was able to pull the Vending.apk and MarketUpdater.apk via adb, rebooted, then pushed the new Market27.apk file into the phone, renaming it Vending.apk and now it works.
My problems were three-fold:
A) If I let market update itself, I couldn't even open the new version. I'd get force close when trying to open.
B) If I uninstalled the update, I could still access the market and attempt to download, but it'd force close when it got to the install portion of the app
C) I could restore to a NAND Backup point when market worked, but within a day of doing so, it'd auto-update and I'd lose any progress I had made!
This has fixed everything. I've been trying for weeks to remedy this so thank you very much.
I'm rooted and running Fresh ROM 2.4 by the way.

hope you check this, I have an unrelated (sorta) question. I used your red swype for ages and loved it, but I found a bug in one of the numer modes in a loan calc app. I know it's not cool to post the apk (I have it anyway), but I do have the official beta 2.17 somthing, was wondering if you still had the red swype metamorph, also, I assume you theme the market in red, which would make my day, could you either pm me a how to (I have froyo), or post the themed market 2.2.7 in themes and apps, which hopefully works in froyo? Thanks again.

Hey everyone. I have decided to get rid of some HTC apks and replace them with AOSP apks. (Music, Dialer, Browser, etc.) I am not 100% sure on which ones I will be replacing, but can someone provide a download for AOSP apks? That would be awesome because I know I can download a few ROMs here and then take out the AOSP apks, but my internet is REALLY slow, so that would take forever. Also, feel free to let me know on which ones I should take out and why. I would really like a second opinion on what all can be replaced and if replacing any would help. Let me know! Thanks to the one who uploads the apks!

Definitely replace HTC mms. AOSP mms is so much faster, especially if you're using the AOSP keyboard. The email gives you a combined inbox, which is kind of nice - but attachments might not download properly. Music is nice and fast, but you don't get the lockscreen controls. Contacts/dialer is kinda personal preference. Browser always shows the taskbar and addressbar, unlike the HTC browser; it also seems a bit faster from startup. However, doubletap zoom might not work. Oh, the AOSP browser wont work without the com.cyanogenmod.android.jar and com.cyanogenmod.android.xml files (those are found in roms, so you might be out of luck with the browser...)
these apks are from Darch's roms.
What's needed to get AOSP contacts.apk to work with my awesome DCv2.06 setup? I imagine some framework is not in place - something deep like that?
Attempted to install (thought it would fail or at least not work if it did install) and it said 'Not Installed' and an OK button.

You have to push it in to system/app ... installing from a file explorer should only work for the email apk.

For the browser, remove the existing browser.apk, replace it with the AOSP browser.apk, THEN you must place these files in the corresponding paths in your rom:

Lol. Was just about to say I just pushed Contacts.apk to my phone (running Fresh 2.0d) and it works perfectly .
EDIT** Only thing I have found not working with Contacts.apk from AOSP is how they are listed. If you go into contacts, you can see them listed correctly (alphabetically) but the displayed alphabet is technically incorrect (if that makes any sense). For example, the names are in the correct order, but the "A" is listed under "W" even though it is up top as it should be.

Just added it. Use the Contacts.apk that someone attached above and you have to push it to your phone as a /system/app through ADB. Nothing to it. Works great, no modification needed.
Most importantly it allows you to select which groups from your contacts in google that you want to sync. An option that broke or was removed in all 2.1 based roms out right now.

Thanks for posting this.
I'm still having some trouble getting Contacts.apk on my Hero. I'm running DC 2.072.
I'm able to successfully push the Contacts.apk from this thread with the command adb push Contacts.apk /sytem/app while in recovery mode. When I rebooted, though, I couldn't find it on the phone. There's no "Contacts" app, and the only "Phone" app is the HTC one.
Any suggestions?? I have also previously tried installing the APK by copying it to the SD card and then using an app installer, but the install would either fail, or I would get an FC when launching the phone app.
I found the Touchwiz apk on the Nexus One forums. I had no part in this and this is their work not mine. I just thought in case any other any else wanted to see it play with it on their phone or whatever here it is

None of the widgets work, nor do they install with the raw APKs via ASTRO/App Manager. Haven't tried pushing via adb, but I'm not sure if they need to go to /system/app or /data/app.
I can't figure out how to add Phone, Contacts and Messanging to the bottom bar - all I see is the Apps button.
Any ideas on either?

version 2.2.1 gmail.apk
You may need to push through ADB as it was taken from a flashable package.
Edit: I can confirm this works. Just installed it on my phone. Rebooted and got the "whats new" screen when first opening gmail. Also reply button is at the top along with all other changes.
To install, copy over to /system/app with root explorer or push through ADB with "adb push Gmail.apk /system/app"
Verified also working on other phones. Also, if you are on an odex'd rom, make sure you delete original .apk and .odex files.
works good on Fresh 3.1.0.1, thanks!
I am running BS 1.4 and I can't get it to work. I was an idiot and overwrote the original gmail.apk. Do yall have the original froyo gmail.apk.
Thanks ahead.
Never mind I got it to work and I love it.
Thanks superevilllama!!!
I can install the APK onto my phone but I wouldn't mind waiting for the official release of the app.
Does anyone know how it will become available? Is it through an OTA or will it be in the Market?

Try just cut and paste with root explorer and reboot. A whole lot easier.
Either way you have to mount /system/app as RW before it will let you modifiy it.

Anyone using Visidon Applock- face recongnition locking app on their charge. I had a Nexus S 4g and it worked great, but because of signal issues, I went back to Verizon. Went with the Charge. I have rooted the charge and am running gingerbread, but the apps market will not let me download this program. I think current version is 1.5 and should work just fine on my Charge...if I can get the download. What you do is take a picture of your face. Then you can use it to unlock either the phone, or apps on the phone by showing the phone your face. Works great.
Anyone able to provide me with the apk ver 1.5? I found and downloaded ver 1.1 but it is missing a signature file.

no, the file I am talking about does it all automatically, you have to install this app, run the fix from in the app, restart from w/in the app, then when it powers on you can erase the app if you want to. This will enable all apps in the marketplace.

I found the file build.prop which I would guess is the manual way to adjust what your fix does.

Anyway...I just re-flashed GBE....no big deal. and will take a look at your "fix" now.

I would imagine that it will only work on AOSP, and it would probably have to go in the priv-app folder.
It works just fine. You can't install it, but you can move it to the /system/priv-app folder, set the permissions to -rw-r--r--, and reboot. I'm using it on CleanROM right now.
Did you have to rename any apk? It won't work for me, I'm on Viper.
The ONE!
Mine is named GoogleDialer.apk. The permissions have to be -rw-r--r-- and you have to reboot before it will work. If you don't see the new phone icon after a reboot you can use this workaround.
