Market update - Hero CDMA Android Development

Wasn't sure whether to put this in dev or apps. Just curious to know if those using cm6 will automatically get this small update to the market, or if someone is putting together another flashable Gapps zip?
Sent from my cdma FroYo Hero, suck on that sprint.

You get updates to all the GAPPS and other apps normally as you would with stock.
You don't need to worry about the programmers compiling an updated version of GAPPS. They do that as a luxury to the ROM users.

My market updated automatically sometime today.

Mine has not had the luxury yet. Thanks.

Go to settings, applications, manage, find market and force stop and clear data. Then open market and it should be updated
Instructions are from AOSP... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9570248&postcount=4545

Yup, mine updated as well

What has changed in the market with the update?

Can't download apps from Market after Cog 2.3b6

I just flashed Cog 2.3b6 and when i try to download an app it tells me that it will start but they never do... Anyone with this problem?
Yep. Problem here. Not sure why.

Its a problem on googles side. A lot of people on different roms are having an issue
Posted from my Captivate running Perception build 3 with SetiroN's SuperOptimized kernel
I was running on Cog 2.3b2 and never had this problem.
For some reason it started working again, let's hope it's stays that way.
I've tried 3 different roms thinking it was the rom
Go into settings, applications, manage applications, go to market and uninstall updates. That should fix the problem.

I'll give this a shot tomorrow morning and post results. I did "update all" to a bunch of apps and it effectively uninstalled them. Now I gotta figure out which ones they were. Kinda had this problem on Cog 2.4.1, but really bad on 2.3b6. Makes sense if it is an app issue.
It's definitely a server-side outage apparently: http://www.androidcentral.com/late-night-market-woes-youre-not-alone
ok... it didn't stayed working... it keeps coming and going... sometimes they download and sometime they just crash...
What's the downside of uninstalling the Market Updates?
because u are using the same android id a as everyone else with that rom. Change your android id back to your original id. Its been posted before, just research forums on how to find chane and restore android id
Reverting the Market updates worked for me. I got 4 or 5 FCs in a row without it actually updating anything (just uninstalling it) and when I removed the Market updates it worked perfectly the first time.
Gtalk
Just log into Gtalk and it should work. YOu gotta be logged into Gtalk for it to work. This isn't like 100% true, sometimes it may be logged in but the app isn't running or whatever.
BUT, if the market doesnt download apps, log into Gtalk, and then it should work
Stop the download and then re -start it. Works for me

New Market. http://market.android.com.
UPDATE: We can sign in now. When going to download an app it offers a list of what device to install it to. My only Android device is my G Tablet and the market lists it as NVIDIA VEGAn-Tab-V1.0.0.B5.1.
Technically an web-based app market should offer us an "full" app market, no? i'm sure every app is visible, i guess the question now is after we log in will the app market recognize our device and attempt to block certain apps from us, or would an app that doesn't show up on the Gtab just give us an app not found when we click on it from the Gtab browser?

Correct when trying to sign into market.android.com you get a invalid request both on the PC and Gtab and Phone.
They mentioned that when you select an app, it will list the available devices you can push it to, based off your registered devices features and OS.
I take this to mean that if you can't see it in the Market on your device.....your device want be listed as a choice to install for those apps on the web.
Oh..and this is typically for you to do from your home/work/public library computer.....browse the apps, select what you want and it installs to your phone. You still use the "Market" app on the devices (phones/tablets).

I wonder if this will be unusable for people with devices that aren't intended to have access to the Market like our beloved G Tabs. Will Google let you OTA install to a device that they think shouldn't be there?
Invalid Request
I get nothing but "Invalid Request" when trying to sign in.

If all the apps aren't showing up, just use the market hack. Go to the task manager, force stop and clear the browser cache and reboot.

I thought since this is web based, it would let us sideload to any android device from our pc. That would suck if it doesn't.

[Q] To ROM makers: how do you link pre-installed applications to Android Market?

I just got a great news today, my own application will be included on all the phone of the brand "X" in my little country (Belgium)
I got so excited when I am looking at the phones in the shops and I can see my application by default.
Unfortunately, the brand "X" is noobie and seem unable to link my app to the Market, so the users cannot be aware that there is an upgrade in the Android Market.
they just ask me by email
Do you know how to link apps to the market to get the update automatic?

I know that I don't work for this company and they will get benefit with this information, but have you got an Idea on how to achieve this?
Thank a lot.

You got to put your apk file in the data/app folder, not the system/app. According to HTC Android ROM kitchen at least, with which I'm experimenting now.

I don't care, I prefer users removing my app rather than being annoyed by an old version, but I don't think that the manufacturer will allow to do that.
Are there really no other option than moving the app? I cannot believe that as many devices have pre-installed apps and are linked to the Market.

Yeah I prefer that way too but U.S. carriers love putting preloaded applications on the phone and it can't be removed unless the user have root access.
And there is no option.. unless you want to provide the customers phones with root access from the start but that'll cause future updates to be a hassle.
The only way to update your app is via a software update (OTA).

Haha, you probably need an answer from an actual dev.
One thing I do know is that it is possible with Titanium Backup, or any other root backup app, to backup your apps with a market link, so that you can update your backed up apps. So maybe that's the solution? Put a market link somewhere?

Actually.. now that I'm thinking about it. Stock ROMs have Android Market is in /system/app/ as Vending.apk.
I believe what happens is that, the market will UPDATE. But you could always uninstall the updates but you're unable to fully get rid of the app.
This should apply to any app in /system/app/ so in theory it should be possible. But yeah, you'd have to ask a dev about it.

Bloody awful java script
Bouncing ardvark just shat.... I could go on
Or simply **** as is the meaning of bajs
I have Asian unbranded sensation. i also noticed that a lot of apps are missing.
what i also mean is that my old apps does not show-up on the new market, therefore caannot be updated.
I tried installing Appbrain, then check for updates. it then shows me that i have updates for my old apps. if you select update, it redirects you to the new market. new market magically shows the app that needs to be updated but there is no "update" button. the "update" button was replaced by "open" button. you can just open the app but cannot update it.
im not sure if the 1.35 OTA or just the new market is causing this.
i will uninstall this new market and check. if the apps shows-up again, its the new market that's having problems if not, OTA is the culprit.

[Q] How to repurchase a app?

So I guess this is the right section, correct me if i am wrong.
I've installed a craked version of Beautiful Widgets (shame on me) so I could try it for some time. Now I want to buy the application and I cant! Somehow the android market thinks i've purchased the app.
Does any one know a way to fix that?
Tks
Have you tried uninstalling the cracked version first? That should in theory let you buy it. If you already did that then I have no idea lol.

I've flashed the new GB, so the app is not at my phone anymore /=
Try clearing data for the market. Go to settings > applications > manage applications, then select the "all" tab. Scroll down until you find the market app and select it. Select the "clear data" button. If that doesn't clear the cache - it should - clear that as well. Then open the market and search for Beautiful Widgets. Hopefully you'll be able to purchase it before it repopulates your list of apps.
I've noticed this with apps that I got for free from Amazon. If you cannot get that to work, wait until there's an update to BW. Once you see the "update" button and select it, you'll be given an option to buy it. I thought that somehow the Market integrated with Amazon (yeah right), but unfortunately not.
I think pirating apps is sleazy, especially considering that they're usually only $1-$3 and a one-time purchase. But thank you for actually purchasing the app after pirating it.

I´ve already tryed to clear the market data and no succes =/ Guess I will have to wait for the next update from Level Up.
I agree with you plainjane, the apps price are VERY reasonable, but I like to try the apps for some time before buying them and the new market refound system makes impossible to try the app for some time.
Any other suggestions?
Have you tried purchasing it from a computer? Go to the market website and try there. If you're able to purchase it there, the download should automatically start on your device if you're connected to the Internet.
Alternatively, you can reinstall the app and uninstall it from the market. You should then have the option to purchase it.
If you can't get anything to work, you can always contact Market support.

If you think you still have remains on your phone from the cracked version you can try the app in my signature "sd maid" to remove those remains.

Sadlly no. The web market (market.google) has a database for the purchased apps. So if you install a cracked version of an App google put a purchased flag on the database. But i think that the old market does not use this database that is why i was abble to buy the app using the old market.
When i say the old market i mean that one that came with the 2.2, with a green half circle on top.

OK the way to do it that has worked for me when I use cracked apps to test is that, it will look like it thinks you have purchased but when you hit update or install, it will ask you to pay.

thx for helping out, but problem not solved!
i have tried the following:
* update from cracked app
* uninstalled cracked app and then install from market
* uninstalled cracked app, installed demo version from market and then tried to upgrade to full version
all of these attempts failed!
it just says in the market that the app is purchased and when i try to install it (or update it), it says something like "download declined because app is not purchased"!
i guess a full wipe would be a solution, but i´d rather not do that, right now!
Full wipe won't help...at least it didn't in my case. I have done a few full wipes and even switched between android versions and still get to "download and install" before it tells me app is not purchased but there is no purchase option in market, only install...
