Damn Bro, I'm Sorry....
Guess I Just Can't Please Everyone, Huh?? Lmao!!
Anyways.....
"Some Were on the Market"!!
"Some Were Taken Off"!!
Either Way, Regardless.... I'm More or Less Gonna Try to Post Whatever Apps That I Can Think Of That Have Been Removed From The Market!
But A Lot Of The Apps As I'm Finding Out The Hard Way...
Are/Were Paid Apps!
So I'm Trying To Due As Much, Research As Needed, So I Don't Post A Paid App Accidently!!
Its a Bit Harder than I Originally Thought!

1st Of All Thank You For All Your Appreciation Man!!
2nd Of All... It Didn't Install? That Sux!! I'll Try My Best To Hopefully Get It Installed For You!!
Do You Have...
Root Explorer? If So, Try To Change The Permissions On The
Blue XDA App... If Your Unsure As To What To Change Them To, Go To A App That You Have Successfully Installed & Just Click It!
You Should Then See Options To Install, View, & Whatever Else??
From There Click View, Then Permissions, Then Try To Remember All The Boxes Checked, & Try To Do The Same Check/Uncheck Boxes Until Every Box Is The Same As The Successfully Installed Apps!!
Then Try To Install.... It Still Might Say Unsuccessful, If It Does, Try The Rom Manager Selection To Fix Permissions!!
Next Try Rebooting & See If It Installed Successfully In Your App Drawer!!
Hopefully This Helps...Good-Luck!!!

I'm having an issue with Facebook not updating from the market, I'm running the last Fresh Rom.
If anyone can help me by droping the facebook.apk file, maybe if I run the file from my sd card it could work.
Did you try uninstalling FB and then download from the market? I has a similar issue and this worked for me.

Download ES File Explorer.
Once installed hit Menu -> Settings
Then scroll to bottom and select Root options.
Check both Root Explorer and Mount File System
You may be prompted with an SU request, allow.
Hit back twice to get to folder directory.
It will probably be at the SDCARD root.
Hit the " / " icon, top left, this will get too the root area of your phone memory (or whatever its called)
Find the system folder, tap it.
Find the app folder, tap it.
Find the Facebook.apk file, long press and hold it, then select delete.
Reboot phone
go to market, download/install latest facebook.apk
something along those lines.
Perfect, thank you guys it work perfect that way, ijust finish downloading the 1.3.2 version.

Yes indeed you can download atrackdog from the market and it should say version number you have and wether there is an update or not
Sent from Inc via premuim app
Menu/apps/all or running/market.... it will say what version you have at the top... I don't think all of the roms are setup to work with any market
Yeah my thoughts but like I said if you know what you are doing or at least make a back up of the old market apk just in case it forcloses or even a nadroid, it won't hurt lol

Usually when someone says " like I said" that means they already stated it. Sorry I thought you'd of understood what I was saying. Carry on
yeah looks like this is old news lol. CM7 has had 2.3.6 for a while now.
For those wanting to check your Market version, no need to download an app to do it. Just go Settings > Applications > All Apps > Market.
thx

I am running Cyanogen 6.1.0. It has the old market. I downloaded the apk you provided, then used APK Manager to install it. It reported the application was not installed and sure enough I still have the old Market.
Any ideas how I can upgrade?
Umm weird, it should overwrite the old market
Try deleting old market using root explorer the ln reinstall new market
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
I did try delete the old Market using Titanium Backup, and it did delete it. Then I installed the new Market using several installers, but the installers all say "Application not installed".
Did you try to move the apk to system/app ? Then reboot?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
I did and it just would not show up in my apps. Eventually I came across a file someone put up which I flashed and it did install the new market. So, I am OK now.
alrighty good for you

Your day will get better after using this fix. Download fix.apk and install it. Then go into your app drawer and locate an app named market fixer. Open it up and accept root request. Hit the fix market and then reboot. When it comes back up you should receive all market apps for every phone.

DeskClock
Email
Custom Locale
Music
Terminal Emulator(Can be found in DevTools)
The apps that I tried that DON'T work are:
Launcher

If your using the XDA app, click dpwnload then use a file manager and go to mnt/sdcard/xda-downloads then click the one you want to install.
If not, click the link then use a file manager to go to mnt/sdcard/downloads and click the one you want to install.

Playstore update . 3.9.16

Hi all heres the latest google playstore
3.9.16
Download: http://beta.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390135922294521859
Google just started rolling out an updated Google Play Store version 3.9.16 that follows the previous version 3.8.17 from August. Good news, everyone - we've already got our hands on the APK for you to install manually thanks to our loyal tipsters.
What's New
The most notable and immediately apparent new feature is the long overdue ability to remove apps you've previously downloaded from the All Apps list. If you like to try a lot of apps, that list is likely very cluttered. With the new Google Play, you can trim it to your heart's content.
Update #1: You can multi-select by long-pressing any app in the list and then tapping more apps, then delete them all in one go (added 2 new screenshots demonstrating it).
Update #2: The new Play Store now keeps track of your location in lists, including My Apps and All Apps, so when you click into an app and back, it drops you into the same spot. I had variable luck with this, and it didn't seem to work in All Apps at first, but I just reproduced it on both the EVO LTE and the Nexus 7. Brilliant.
Update #3: The notification icon that shows up when you have app updates has changed, and notifications are now expandable. I've added more screenshots showing the differences.
The size of the Play Store APK actually went down, so Google must have trimmed some extra fat. We're still digging through everything
Thanks androidpolice
Finally! I wonder though.. will it decrease app download amounts? Obviously if people remove it, it wasn't something they liked..

Saw this on AP and downloaded the apk. Installed it on both my Sensation and N7 and works fine. I can trim down my old files! Yay!

What happens if you have the same Google account on 2 devices and have an app on 1 but not the other and you remove the app from the device that doesn't have the app installed?
What happens if you delete a purchased app? Do you have to pay for it again if you want to re-install it later?
working perfect..

Can't answer the first one, but I just uninstalled a paid app to test for you. When I searched afterwards, it shows up as a purchased app, so I think you'll be good on that front.

I'm on paranoid android 2.2 rom on my Nexus 7, I have gapps ending in "26" installed, which I believe are the gapps from August, and installing this gives me an error message "conflicting signatures".....I don't even have the play store under "downloaded" apps like you would normally find it, but it is under the "all" tab. It was suggested that I rename the apk to "phonesky" and copy it to system/apps, I don't even see "phonesky" anywhere in the files, it's not on my Nexus 7. Can someone please help me out of the know what I can do to get this installed? It's so baffling that a simple apk won't install.
I would appreciate any help at all. Thank You.
