[Q] is it possible to keep the market from updating? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

just went back to stock 2.3.3 and the market update didn't kick in yet and i realized how much more i liked it than the new one. anyway to prevent it from updating?

yes, easy
just go into market
go to settings
select Do Not Notify
done
never mind... i just realized you wanted to prevent market itself from updating.... instead of the APPs from updating
by installing any CUSTOMized Android market will effectively prevent it from updating itself
so you can go install one of those color changed or themed ones over the stock one
you need to be rooted though

ok gotcha. I didn't know if they would stick or not. thanks

Yes it can be make to not update market version. If using cm7 or stick. Look for market update. Use titanium to freeze the market updater. I have a themed market so I delete it and update market manually to new themed version.

oh nice I didn't even think about that.

This technique does not work for the newer 3.xx versions of the Market.
Does anyone know how to get the newer 3.xx versions to NOT auto-update?

try deleting it?
make a backup.

Give this a try, it worked for me. Go in to terminal emulator and type exactly what you see. Then go to the marketplace app in "manage apps" and press "uninstall updates."

I stick with market 2.3.6. using TI to restore it back when updating the new rom

Solution that worked for me
You need a superuser access. Go to the /system/app/ and find MarketUpdater.apk. Edit its permissions so that only read access for the file owner is checked. Resulting file mode string should be r--------.
Then uninstall market updates (Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications. Find there Market and press Uninstall Updates).
This also prevents market from crashing on CM7.

I tried freezing with Titanium backup, clearing market data via manage apps & also the terminal way mentioned in this thread.... i even deleted the marketupdate.apk & still no joy!
All of these m running a themed 3.*.* version, does anyone else have any solutions to this problem?

[APP][10th.Dec.2010] New Android Market

Managed to find a copy of the new android market. Screenshot and download link below.
ENJOY!
There are 2 versions. One for NON Cyanogenmod ROMS and one for Cyanogenmod ROMS. The Cyanogenmod .apk MIGHT not work for everyone.
AND backup your old market .apk before updating. Just to be safe
No need to rename before installing. I didn't have to.
Those having force close issues can try the tip below:

got it,ty ty!!!placed in App folder rebooted and it updated the store!!using desire hd mdj
In order to install, rename it to "Vending.apk" (without the quotes obviously) and replace the Vending.apk in system/app/ using adb or Root Explorer or whatever you would like. That's how I did it at least, using Root Explorer.
are there more apps in this market or is this just a theme
but i didn't neet to install it changed onto new one automatically ??? :S guyz??? plz goto android market and downlaod somthing and wait and see what happens... if not works than close up and do that again...
here every thing is working well.Thanks
so is this a theme or does this actually have more apps????
is official this app?
just did some research and this is an actual market update
New market cuts refund time to 15 min
Got it working on my device. Found the DL link in one of the other threads on here. It says to change to .apk from zip but it changed it automatically. Looks nice. Gonna start a few dl's to see how well it works. But it looks awesome so far.

havent tested it yet, prob the 2.2.10 for 2.1 devices & 2.2.70 for 2.2 devices
Some ppl said it works by delete/move/rename old android.vending in system/apps then place this apk in that folder. reboot and you should have the new market on ur devices.
thanks : f000h
always FC on mytouch 4g
Pretty sure you have to rename whichever you put there to "Vending.apk" but not positive, read that in another thread.

ya.. u need 2rename it Vending.apk then copy paste using rootexplorer
changelog?
anybody tried this? is this thing working?
There's a 2.2.7 for 2.1 devices somewhere on this forum from when it was first released for 2.2 devices.
Yes, rename the package to Vending.apk and copy/move it to the /System/Apps folder using adb or Root Explorer. I would recommend making a backup copy of your existing Vending.apk just in case you run into problems.
v2.2.70 is working just fine on my Samsung Galaxy S DJ20 running 2.1

You know what I have installed this but in a few simple steps:
1:MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!
2: Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications> Then the Running tab.
3:Force Stop Google Services Framework and Clear its data
4:Repeat step 3 for Market
5:Install new market for what ever version of android you are running.
6:Reboot
7:DO NOT SKIP the new device setup
8:Start up the market and accept TOS
9rofit????????
I am running 2.2.1 on my milestone with a custom ROM (Cronos) but this is exactly what I did and the new market is pretty AWSOME!!!! XDDD Although one note is that the market did force close a couple of times before I got the TOS so try and try once more, but enjoy it if you get it up and running

WOW, i dont have that superuser.
ChainsDD released a new version 3.0 for Superuser a few weeks ago (now 3.0.2) after releasing a few betas. Being a system app for most ROMs, Superuser was probably set for Automatic Updating, that's why it updated itself on your phones. Besides a new GUI, it mainly added new features with the Superuser Elite app. Here is the changelog at the Superuser website http://androidsu.com/superuser/changelog/
Most of my system apps show up in red in titanium backup. This allows you to attach and detach them from the market, and do other titanium functions on them. Unfortunately superuser doesn't show up at all in titanium. Is there anyway to make it show up?

Thanks. If you dont mind me asking, what is your current phone setup? Because there are literally like 100 reviews describing force closes and people having to restore to an older version.

[Q] Market (3.4.4 latest) display issues?

Have searched and don't believe there is an existing post on this.
The latest market 3.4.4 looks more like a phone market (doesn't use full width of screen in landscape - see black margins) - is this the case for everyone?
This appears the same on both Team EOS ICS and CM9 - I realise this is a trivial/cosmetic issue, but surely Google doesn't intend for it to look like this? Is 3.4.4 even supposed to be on Tablets - why would CM9 distribute 3.1.5 as latest only to have the market auto update on first open?

Market 3.1.5
Market 3.1.5 (the one distributed in Gapps 5.3 for CM9) looks great in comparison, but I cannot prevent it from auto-updating. Among other things, have tried freezing and removing MarketUpdater.apk from system/app, and;
Code:
pm disable com.android.vending.updater
pm disable works unprivileged, but fails with Segmentation Fault for su. No matter what I do, the darn market keeps on updating.
That's they way mine looks. Bugs the heck out of me too!

Hey thanks - Is it version 3.4.4 on your stock ICS?
Does it look like the 3.1.5 picture in OP?
I do have the the same problem with my xoom. My market looks exactly like the screenshot from the first post. I use the latest Team eos ics wingray build.
Any solutions to make it look like it should on a tablet?
Nothin I can find or work out *yet*
I cant understand why only a few people so have this problem.
Reflash of the rom was neither a solution.
Any solutions? Im sorry to push the thread but i still have no solution for this problem.
Thanks in advance!
I have noticed this too, mine looks like the first image.
I'm gonna put it down to bad ICS programming.
Market 3.4.4 on stock 3.2 also looks bad.
uninstall market updates
clear data/cache
freeze the vender updater apk with titanium backup.
works for me im still using 3.1.5 market on rooted stock ICS
Doesnt work for me at all
The issue remains on market version 3.4.7.
Any solutions until now?
Thanks in advance.
i have whatever version was posted on droid life last week and its still the same issue.
