You might have heard that Google was rolling out a new Android Market, complete with book and movie rentals. You also might have heard it would coming in the next few weeks. Well thanks to an anonymous source (possibly with a time machine) you can grab it today.
Hit the download link, and install it from your SD card like any other app. Fair warning -- we don't know if there will be any complications from doing this, but we haven't seen any so far. Use your best judgement. Discuss it in the forums!

Seems a little cluttered but i like it mostly. I'd recomend using something to backup your old market app in case this one doesnt work for anything, in the comments on that post some people said they were having problems uninstalling/updating apps.

I had no problem uninstalling apps. Haven't tried updating yet.

Yeah, I just uninstalled and installed an app no problem too. But all of my apps are up to date so I don't know about updating.
Do y'all have the video/movie tab?

I think this is a beta and the movie tab will be in the next update they're not done with it.

awesome looks cool by any chance anyone running Ninja 7061 and using the new market place.
? though since I have the stander market how would I save the .apk for that so just in case I dont like this one? Also do I just add the this new .apk like any other .apk file, I use Android Side Load Wonder Machine when I install .apks

Why bother with any software or plugging your phone in to install an APK? It all seems a bit unnecessary. I just chrome-to-phoned the dropbox URL and bam app installed.

If your running tpgb ninja your rooted, so you don't need the sideload machine, just go to settings>applications>and check unknown sources. Then put this apk on your sd card and use file manager (an app installed in ninja) to select it and install.
Oh, and i am running ninja 7061. but i think i might just go back to stock CM
FOr people who want old market follow these steps:
(Originally Posted By:Chris Chavez of Phandroid)
Go into your phone’s Settings
Select “Manage Applications”
Select the “All” tab at the top
Scroll down to Market app and select it
Select “Uninstall Updates”
Now have your old Market back!
----------------------------------------------------
If that fails, install gapps via rom manager>download ROM>gapps

It's not a "method" really, it's just.. installing the app, the same way you would any APK. Doesn't matter how you get the url to the APK to your phone (email, chrome to phone, typing it in by hand).

Well ive deleted the data but it shows that i have no cache. So anything else to try?
Works great but i think a bit buggy,some of my apps are up to date but it keep asking me to update,but when i am at the apps description there are only open and uninstall option
Well i have some bad news for the overcome peoples. If you head over to the overcome thread you will see a new post. I guess the issue is with the base kernal or something that isnt creating the cache right. The good news is they have a fix for it, but the bad news is you will have to wipe everything and start from scratch. Also if your having problems with the old market, this will fix it as well. Head on over to the overcome thread for better explanation and fix.
edit: I just tryed the fix and it worked! Good news if you dont want to go through the hastle of re-stocking then the new version of overcome will fix it. It will be out soon!
ps: sorry if i made it look like i hijacked this thread. I just wanted people with this problem to know. Im done with this topic
Little bit laggy but works fine on overcome

Honestly its clean and I haven't seen any problems. It isn't like roms. I installed it. I really like it lol

I loaded this up then just went in and deleted data on the market app and this is running great!
Then I screwed up and got excited about the google movies and download the new google video's. Rented Battle LA and started to play. then BAM... "cant access this video with a rooted device"... What a bunch of horse ****!!!.. I really hope someone figures a way around this.
THe DRM coding is what keeps it from running. not even sure how you would go about tricking it into thinking you have DRM

Well, I'm a newb when it comes to most of that. I just hope one of the many great dev's can tear into the .apk and figure out a way to mask the app from see that the device has root access.

They should be happy we arnet pirating the movies. Who cares if we root if we are paying

Had the same issue. Just went in to app manager and cleared data on the market app and rebooted the phone for good measure. Once the phone booted up I acceptef the market t&c and went back to my apps. Still could update so I just left it alone. A few minutes later I noticed the app updates available icon in the notification area and clicked on it. Once I selected the app that need to be updated it gave me the opotion to update, instead of open, or uninstall.
Dunno if I like the ui...kinda hard to navigate and find stuff.
It sure is a major change, almost wp7ish.
Guess I will get used to it.
Slap this baby on your xformer its nice
[COLOR="Red"]REMOVED LINK [/COLOR]
*note, this is backwards compatable with honeycomb and cell phone, it is NOT a stretched out version like the previous market updates and it also still gives u Staff picks for tablets.
*note 2* this will not over write your original market so u will have 2 to choose from"its a good thing imo"
*note 3* we can now leave reviews for the apps
*note 4* new option to use a pin number to download paid apps*
*note 5* it will say it will over write market but it doesnt u just end up with 2
UPDATE. I didn't realize, ton of apps force close now. Deleting the new market and rebooting fixed it. Sux
I'm not saying this doesn't work on the TF, but this it NOT for HoneyComb as stated in the big red alert box in the article. This is for Phones. Have you actually used it? Can you upload some screenshots on your TF?
Am I missing something, or is this the market update that rolled out on phones weeks ago and actually has nothing to do with our tablet android market?
i should have mentions 2 things, this does not write over your market, so in turn u will have 2 markets to choose from* thats a plus * also dont listing to what they say in that link its def also for honeycomb and not a streched out version of the market
I would upload a pic but it is not letting me, it wants me to replace my current market...

This actually caused issues in a variety of apps when it was released. News Republic was the one I had trouble with. Basically, it would FC on startup. Rolled back to stock market and it was fine again.
This is not 100% compatible with Honeycomb

Just installed this, It works great and looks very nice.
It does indeed install a second market, so you still have the old one if you want to use it.
the interface seems more tablet optimised, you can swipe the screen to the side to reveal more lists etc for example.
thx for the share! love the design of the new market app! I can easily post some screens if people want me to
hopefully not a dumb question, but after download when installing it says this is a system app and will replace the previous system app. Will this replace the other mkt or overwrite it
I know others said there would be 2 mkts but did others get that pop-up.
I just wanted to make sure before I went thru with it...

yea we all get the pop up but just hit ok it wont over write it
Yep, i got that message as well, but as said, it does not replace it, you get 2 market icons in your app drawer, one for each version, and they both run fine still.
It's interesting that it has the action bar in it, which makes me think they're working on getting it to tablets as well.
I loved the look of it, and browsed it for a good 10 minutes. Then i tried to play sprinkle and it kept force closing....I tried riptide and it force closed....i tried Big Bang Racing and it force closed...
I removed it and somehow everything works again....this market does have problems so to save everyone else the time, dont download it because you will love the look of it and be forced to uninstall it due to FC issues sadly

I have not experienced any FC's on the games you listed.
I will report back if anything changes.
Try and freeze factory market in titanium and let me know if that resolves the issue cus it has for me, ill edit OP if someone comfirms fix other than me
After installing the new market and uninstalling it again via Titanium Backup I get force closes when I click the "My apps" button in the Market. How do I fix this?
Just curious, does the new Market seem a lot faster for you guys too?

I simply downloaded it... clicked on the completed download... then had the option to install... went straight to the market and checked the version, no issues at all.
Renamed and pushed no problem. Def faster.
I hope this fixes the "insufficient space" bug on our phones.

when it comes to the market, it only updates when it's open. it's the only app that does it that way. all other apps will show in the notifications. if I'm wrong, please let me know, but I don't think that's the case.

How do you know that this is the ONLY app?
But anyway, my point is if Google can do it on Android platform it does not matter with one app or many.
PS: off-topic, Google Map subscribes to bunch of intents, so it would be launched when you turn-on screen, WiFi etc... I would like start application when I press app icon... There are no other way to opt-out other then disable Map in pm.
Google maps can be stopped by using the app autostarts. All those apps that start by themselves when you do something, ie reboot phone connect to wifi ect... no longer plague me. True, I just delete most of them, but there are some I actually use (like maps and Gmail).
Unfortunately I can no longer find the exact app I use in the market, though I'm sure there are others that do the same thing. If anyone would like the apk for the one I use just let me know and I can post it next time I'm on my laptop.
