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?

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?

install this app
simple right?
can't get it to work then try adb install *your_path_to_your_android_sdk*/flash-hex-edited.apk

I'll give this a shot, hope I don't get those demon voices again
ok i just tried the hulu app and landscape is off center. i dont know if I have the right version. the web site works just find though
yep. install the regular way works. haven't tried it with hulu but I will try it with my" favorite" site later to see if it fixes the demon voice.
I had to adb push this file in /system/app, then install on top of that.
i've never had the demon voices, but today is the first day I messed with hulu at all.
This is just the newest adobe flash off the market for the evo and hex edited to lie and say it's the windows version when flash apps ask. I'm not sure if there is a better platform to spoof or if it will even matter
I installed the regular way it it work out perfect. for some strange reason I had to uninstall the orginal adobe flash app before this one would install(it wouldnt just intall over and replace)
I couldnt get hulu to work with dolphin browser. It works just fine on the stock browser.
thanks for everything . You rock
Ok, definitely curious about checking this out. What are the chances of this having negative impact on other things that utilize flash? Or is that pretty unlikely? Thanks in advance. And to uninstall original, just goto settings> manage applications, I'm guessing?
Thanks in advance, and especially thanks to op.

on the miui rom.... installed apk and no hulu love for me
other flash sites worked fine. uninstalled previous version of flash, installed this one sucessfully, rebooted, and no hulu clips, at least for me.
I tried this on IncDoes Sense "Desire HD" (for HTC Incredible) and it does not work. Meaning no flash on any site.
So all I need to do is install this app, and then Hulu will work on my EVO? Is it really that simple?
If so, that is great!
Thanks!
when i am trying to push the file this is the command I am using:
adb push flash-hex-edited.apk /system/app/
the response i am receiving back is
failed to copy 'flash-hex-edited.apk' to /system/app/flash-hex-edited.apk' : read-only file system.
I am rooted....any sugestions?
steps to any hexed flash to work:
Close out browser
Uninstall original flash using adb for titanium backup
install new flash
install hulu app
OR
in stock browser, type about:debug>settings>UASTRING>desktop then go to hulu site or hulu widget site.
Also: to get it full screen all you need to do is tap to the right of the video then click the fullscreen button quickly within the video. Do not do the hold and click full screen that is part of flash. This only works on the main hulu site. Not the app.

I've always just installed hexed flash versions simply out of my downloads folder on the sd card. I don't think it matters how it installs. Just as long as the previous flash is removed through adb or titanium
i just tried changing my user agent string back to android and it actually still works. if you cant get it to work try clearing your browser cache, uninstalling flash, reinstall my hex edited flash and try hulu.com again
I got a little bored at work today and edited the wifi tether app. For those running Cyanogen roms it will go really well. It's not 100% complete, still a few minor things I want to change and a slight off center that I need to fix but like I said, it's minor. After the holiday I'll finish it up. Hope you enjoy it, suggestions are welcome but I'm fairly new to Photoshop and GIMP so I'll do my best.
This is 2.0.5 pre 14 (the latest) and it should work with any phone that already runs it.
It doesn't want to install. After pressing install it says "Application not installed". Strange because this one (same version) installs correctly, its just not themed http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre14.apk&can=2&q=
Looks good!

That is strange, it installed on mine. Just out of curiosity, where is your current tether app installed to, /system/app or /data/app? For some reason when I tried to install it while booted (to /data/app) it did the same thing. I had to put it in my rom and reflash it, kind of the long way around. Maybe adb push and adb install would work also. If not, I'll pack it in a zip for you show you can flash it in recovery if you want.
Having the same installation problem...
Tried also with adb, seems to be an error with certificate, hoping you will make a flashable .zip
Ok, I've modified by me these app importing the themed file in the "standard" thether app, signing, and now it works.

Thanks for doing that. When I finish it and update it I'll make sure to resign it just in case. I'll DL it and update the post unless you want me to just put the link up that you have in your post.
EDIT: I just resigned mine (and renamed it), it should work now. If not use the link matiu posted.

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"

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?

Need some help...
I installed the leaked GB update over top of Fission 2.6.1. Everything works fine now except for Swype. When I try to use it, it says "the swype package you installed is configured for another device and will operate with limited functionality."
I went to the swype site to have the beta files resent to me. I tried to uninstall both the app and the installer. The installer I can uninstall but the app does not have 'uninstall' as an option.
I then try to go into Astro root explorer to either delete or rename the libswypecore file but can do neither.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I can get swype to work? Thanks.
You can't do anything with those because you don't have root access. A lot of people are having problems with Swype and GB. Just give it some time, this is still a leaked version and as of now I believe there is no way to root that GB file. I'm sure there will be a way rolling really soon, along with the actually GB update for our phones.
well root has been found now so figure a day or to for swype to be fixed
The installed version of swype in the GB rom is no good, if you have beta access for swype then the easiest way to fix is to grab root explorer, rename or delete the swype apk, and then download the swype installer and install a different version. I've got it working again on my D2 running GB
Thanks that worked great. I renamed the.apk
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
Still can't get it to work. The version of Swype that I have came with the Fission ROM that was on my phone. I tried using Super Manager to delete that libswypecore file but can't. The file won't delete. As a result, I can't download a beta that I'm registered for.
Any ideas?
Try this, I just got it to work last night. Go to beta.swype.com, I'm pretty sure their beta registration is still open. Sign up for registration, but before you do all that go to root explorer and change the name of swype.apk (I changed to swype.apkk). The continue on beta.swype.com, register for the beta version and they will send you an email, and follow instructions to install.

Is 'root explorer' the only app that will allow me to change the name? I tried using 'super manager' and 'astro' and neither worked in changing the name.
Got it to work. The mistake I made was not setting up root access within Super Manager.
Thanks for your help.
I think there are more apps, but root explorer is the most known. I tried this method and everything worked but when I restarted my phone I started getting force closes and re downloaded it all and it works fine again.

Hi all,
As the title implies, I just tried updating to the newest version and keep getting an error telling me that it's running in limited mode (allows key press) but when I swype, NOTHING!
The funny thing is when i try to generate the license I follow the steps:
1) click disable swype (it then throws you to the keyboard selection screen where i choose android keyboard)
2) uncheck swype (I don't even see this option on the keyboard selection screen, I'm on MIUI
3) hit generate license
For the previous build... the hack/fix/trick was to start from a swpye free device, install the installer, then install swype... After doing this, you don't go back into the installer to generate the license, you'd go backup the swype apk using a backup tool, then uninstall swype... then restore the backup (then long press home button) and click on swype installer which would register and generate ok.
Any Thoughts?
Worked perfect for me. As a previously registered member, all I did was log in. Dl the installer. Installed the swype. Used it. Realized why i deleted it to begin with. Uninstalled. Looks better, yes...would rather type the Damn thing out than have to correct over and over again little errors that my HTC kingdom keyboard fixes. Good luck w your install tho
Also mine generated its own license after i completed the install.
weird... are you on MIUI?
I'm at a loss as to why it won't work.
I'm trying some suggestions found here:
http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?3719-Install-Swype-on-MIUI-without-Titanium-Backup!
i finally got my hands on a 3.0 apk. It will not install. The forums say it won't install over a "system" version. So now i think i have to figure out how to remove the installed version.

One of the new features of 3.0 was tap correction, so it can do the same things the stock keyboard can as well.

It sounds like you've got the preloaded version installed.
Try using root explorer to uninstall it.

Well isn't that amazing!!
Finally got this working on MIUI.
I followed the steps from the 4th post on http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?3719-Install-Swype-on-MIUI-without-Titanium-Backup
"Sorry, but for me it does not work.
This guide has now works for me.
Download installer
Download and install swype
At the enable step leave the installer and select swype as the input device
Reboot your phone
After Reboot, open the swype installer again
Select "Select Android keyboard" and change input back to android keyboard
Choose disable swype, go to applications and uninstall swype but NOT THE INSTALLER
Go back to the installer and generate license
This should put you through the download process again so just follow it and re-install swype
Once re-installed it should generate the license, but it still won't work
Reboot your phone again and all should work, enjoy!

This is exactly what i had to do. I found the existing swype apk, deleted it, restarted the phone and was able to install the new version.
All i have to say so far is awesome! Typing in "normal" mode doesn't seem to lag or be as clumsy as before. Plus(my favorite feature so far) it now asks if you would like to add a word to the dictionary instead of just adding whatever i happened to be typing at the time on it's own. MUCH more control over what words are included. I'm still playing around with it, but so far i'm impressed.
Does miui comes work swype already? If it does you will need to get a file explorer...then go to system/app and look for swype....when you find swype deleted and then reboot your phone...when the phone is on instal swype installer and swype and just follow the instruction to regenerate the license....it work for me....

There is also a library file to delete. in system/lib/libswype.so or something like that. I had to delete that file before it would work for me.
Its more efficient to delete the swype.apk from system/app if you need a file explorer let me know our you can go to the market and download one

I'd also say just titanium backup to remove and then install the new apk.
Worked for me at least, and man is this worlds better than 2.5xxx
all thats needed to install the new beta is uninstall the official apk and lib.
on miui just install then restart the phone. the licence will generate itself. im loving the new beta, but i must admit im a bit jealous if the themeing honeycomb users got for the honeycomb version of swype 3.0.
No issues here. Just uninstalled Swype and went to beta.swype.com to download the new one.
