maybe it's device based as well... if you don't get the update, just download the apk from the forum.

i tried that, and when i installed the apk it said application not installed. i also tried a flashable version, but that didnt work. force close whenever i opened the market.
oh well, i'll just wait for the official update

Well I have an Evo and to get mine to update I just went into applications and cleared the data from the market app and within a minute it updated.

Clear market data from settings
rm /system/app/Vending.apk
then retry the apk.

Would someone be able to post a link here for the new market for qvga (wildfire)?
EDIT: dont worry, i found it. but it didnt work. i guess im not that desperate anyway

I read that people who are using the new market are having issues with downloads, just thought I let you guys know.

I used root explorer to copy the apk to system app, rebooted and installed. Worked good that way for me.

I got it installed. it comes up fine/searches. When I try to access "My Apps" or download anything it force closes. I rebooted a couple times and fixed permissions in Rom Manager. Can't get it to not force close at all.

That's what I tried to warn you guys about. People have had issues downloading from the new market. Just wait two weeks and it will officially be out.

Market update question

I recently returned my infuse for another one and on my first infuse I had the most up to date android market place installed (came like that) but now with my phone I have an older version of the market place(2.12) does anybody know of a way to update it? I emailed the market place and they said to leave open the market place for a couple mins and maybe it would update itself but no luck so far... I've searched the forums but all the downloads seem to be out of date or removed...any help is greatly appreciated!

The market is supposed to update itself. Open the Market app and wait for a lil' longer. Might work.
Or.. the other solution is look for the .apk file. But you'll have to root your phone for that method.

Go to aplications in your settings and clear the market data this should work

Now that there is a new market you can just download the APK and install it with a file manager like Astro, no root needed. It should override the older market but your data and accounts will obviously still be there.

Indeed you can do that. However if you prefer an official update from google all you have to do is ensure market and market updater have their cache and data cleared, then launch market and press the home button. It will auto update in 5 to 10 mins.

Installing new Android Market

I searched but couldn't find a thread. So can someone tell me how to install the new Android Market on my unrooted Evo?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I am on MIUI, and to my knowledge they didn't have the latest version in their recent release. Last night I believe mine updated automatically. I could be wrong, but I personally didn't manually update anything. I woke up this morning and it was updated to the most recent version. You may turn on your autosync and everything to see if it does it automatically.
If you have the apk. Uninstall any market updates from settings and use adb to push the new apk to /system/app/Vending.apk. this will overwrite your original vending apk so you might want to back it up first.

Just download and install like a normal app, its just a upgrade and you can downgrade if needed.

Where is Android Market 3.1.5?

Am I missing something? Where is the updated Android Market for this phone? Why does my wife's G2 have a better Market when I'm stuck with the older one?

Hooray For The Old Market App!
I go to the Android Market for Android Apps. When I got the updated app on my G2, I got used to it. But I never liked it. Yes, I'm sure I could have gone back, but it wasn't a big issue with me.
I don't buy movies on the Android Market
I don't buy books on the Android Market
I do get free apps and paid apps on the Android Market and that's what my market app does.
Hooray for the older, simpler app!
Im using the android market from undead's rom. Its good but its very buggy. Switching back to older version
I was actually able to find everything I was looking for here:

Just replace the file (of course make sure you backup, just in case) and restart the phone. The vending.apk is located in \system\app
Versión 3.2.0 is out already.

Android Makret wont update to Google Play

Im currently on Richie390's MIUI 2.3.24 rom and having a little problem and anyone using that build or knows anything help would be useful. Last weeks build my market updated to the google play store and was working fine and everything, i then updated my rom to the more current rom which is the 2.3.24 and now my google play store has reverted back to android market. i tried downloading the apk and installing manually but it keeps saying install unsucessful. i also tried the clear data and open market and it should update on its own but none of them work. Any help?
Why does it matter? Significant changes are the icon change and name.

I've never used an MIUI rom but I'm assuming you still flash gApps zip like the other roms, you could unzip the gApps you're using, copy the updated vending apk into the app folder and rezip the files and flash it

make a backup in CWM.
then boot your rom, and use something to remove the market, or just delete the .apk
try re-installing it then
if you still cant get it working, you could always try pushing it to the phone via ADB from your computer... but that seems like it would be a bit too much work for just a few non necessary changes.
Appreciate all the help, ill give some of the advice a try and see if maybe one of em works LOL

BTW, whoever said there weren't any differences between Market versions hasn't played around with it much. The latest version of Google Market, hmm, Play, is a mess, especially when comes the time to figure out how to display purchased apps separately from all the other crap I may have had the misfortune of trying in the past. There is also no way I can find to filter the previously-installed app list: a simple alphabetical sort option would greatly help.

You flashed a gapps package? You can't really install market from the apk. You can force it through root explorer but just flashing gapps again should solve it. Make sure it's a gapps package with play already packaged. Otherwise give it a day, it should update itself
