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?

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.

It should work on non rooted phones too

Just go to Applications, where you would remove the app it will say Downgrade

Hi,
I'm totally new to this and I just got the Sensation 4G, how do I go about installing this? Thanks.

Go to the link above and download the .apk file. With a file explorer, go to the file and click it. It will give you two options. Choose the one to open in market or as app. Then just click install and it should be done.
Btw, works like a charm. Thanks!

when i try to install it, it tells me its a system file and asks if i want to replace it or cancel. when i hit ok then install it says application not installed.
I dont see the option to open in the market. I dont use es file explorer usually astro. any recomendations?

That's odd. You can use Astros. After you click on the file, choose open app manager. There should be an install button on the top left. Once clicked, it should just install. Sorry, I didn't get the system file message.

I was having the same problem. I just downloaded the apk on my computer, put it on my sd card, and installed it through Astro File Manager. That should work.

If you can't install it try the version I have attached. Instalation is done via Root Explorer - copy the apk from sdcard, go to /system/app. delete HTCCamera.apk and HTCCamera.odex, paste new camera apk, set permissions to rw- r-- r-- and try to install.
Camera works, but shutter button is misaligned, selecting HDR or burst in scene menu causes FC, HDR and macro is doing nothing (I think). Panorama works.

Downloaded the apk for non-rooted devices and installed using root explorer and works just great. Thanks for the share!

Thanks for the share!!! Wors great on my end

Works perfectly for me too! Thanks.

Installed it..... but this gets installed as a seperate software, and it doesnot replaces the stock camera app or it doesnt show in the scenes mode in the stock camera app.
Is this happening only with me????

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.

Just something that bothers me a little and I liked the interface of how they setup the "My Apps" screen.

Just use a root explorer and overwrite the old vending apk in system/app?
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

I'm on a stock based ROM and I have the newest market.
It isn't only for ICS.

Tried everything to no avail, I'm using Richie's miui rom, could just be the rom itself =/

Its nothing you worry about, seriously.

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

S voice?

well I saw that you can download a hacked .APK for S voice that will work on any ICS phone, so I downloaded the .APK to use on my S2 w/ ICS on it. Now when I go to install it I get a message that says "Application not installed", can any one help me fix this so I can install it? I have seen people on youtube doing it with the S2 so I know it should work on my S2.

Wrong forum. Go to the S2 forum and they can help.

[Q] touchwiz

Can someone possibly make a touchwiz ROM that replicates some of the basic features the s3/4 has, i.e launcher(if possibly), s voice, and s memo

There -was- a heavily kanged and unstable stock kitchen build similar to what you are looking for... but... well in short, the guy just pulled it a few weeks ago.
You weren't missing anything, it was unstable, unmaintained, and unworth your time to flash.
Your best bet is to find those apk's (launcher, s voice, and s memo) using that nifty search feature and push them to your choice of stock based rom (my preference on that would be tweaked using the stock kernel).
Keep in mind that the launcher won't be perfect (i'm assuming you will end up with smando's).

You have to unzip and install like a normal app I think (it's been awhile).
For the widgets you have to push to /system/app

If you have it in /system/app touch to install it again (seems weird here but it works) - then delete it from /system/app. Reboot.
You should have it there since you installed via cwm zip. Let me know how that works out.

Guys... I recommend using Paranoid Android with changing DPI per app. Also some apps aren't going to work because of the framework files... until you go specifically fix the files for each app.
