Are you seeing google movies? The new market looks a little strange on my transformer. I can't find the featured tablet apps or movies.
Wow it is badass

Yeah on the tf its an additional app.
On my nexus one out actually replaced the market. Guessing its not HC optimized yet
Looks like I will have to wait a little longer for google movies.
looks pretty sweet I guss well have to wait for the movies though:/ but is it just me or is it a little bit laggy?
it looks like not optimized for tablet, how can I revert to stock market app?

go into settings -> applications -> all -> market -> uninstall updates
Does anyone who's used the new market know if Google have improved
a) The damned search engine
b) A way of differentiating "tablet optimised" or "universal" apps from phone only ones?
(I know it'll probably be redundant by the time Ice Cream Sandwich comes out - but still)
I see movies on my phone

Has anyone tried it who is not rooted? While using temp root on my evo3d I don't have the options for movies but as soon as I reboot and loose temp root I do.
May be the same with our tablets. The movies only show without root.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Ok, I was able to verify that even without Root that the movies don't show up on the tab.
This is a bit frustrating.
On my EVO 3D that had temp root, the new market simply had no spot for the movies but I remembered that Google said rooted devices wouldn't be able to use that function. I then rebooted my EVO 3D and voila, I now am able to preview/rent movies on the market so I was hoping that you guys just had not tried that yet here since there is already permanent root for the transformer.
How is this not an option on our tablet? I don't get it.
There is an article that was written a couple of months ago about Google Movies which might be of interest for some people.
The new market is supposed to be for phones. http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-android-market-for-phones.html Read the title.
I have a rooted MT4G and the new market works just fine. I even have the movies tab, btw I like the new market, it looks great.
How is working on the TF ?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
This works great on my Samsung Fascinate and looks nice. Haven't tried it on my TF yet but will later today.
Hey the next market is for phones. Wouldn't install it on your tablets, it's not even tablet optimized. Step backwards.

Is working super great on my TF so I recomend.
Its working better than the original.
You can unistall if you want to dont replace your original when you install so that means that you will have 2 markets.

Hello, my market is the new 3.0something market, how can I go back to the original market? Help!
if you installed the apk, you can just uninstall it from applications otherwise i don't think you can. Even if you do manage to do it it would probably update itself again.
You can download the original apk from here and install it in recovery.
Ciao
i hope they will bring out an update for the new market soon, i think it's pretty pretty slow!
I agree it would update itself. nothing to do
The new market has some nice features, but I agree that out is pretty slow.I noticed that using SSH tunnel speeds up things.probably three amount of DNS requests is pretty high and handled quicker this way not using wifi.anyways a upgrade is really required and I am sure they will speed things in the best future (hopefully).

Initially i installed new market as soon as it was out via APK and it was a bit painful to say the least. I went back to the old one and gave it a month then the auto update came through and it's been ok since. Must have ironed out the earlier crinkles before final rollout?
I'm still waiting for the auto update. Seems to be a very slow process.
The APK into SYSTE \ APP
I like the old market.
Saw this on XDA today

Have not got the new market yet, but think it looks cool. Maybe you just have to get used to it?

I've given it a week. I couldn't take it any more! I may have been able to overlook the lag, but the added annoyance of the missing 'update' button for new app updates was just too much. Every day having to clear data before updates worked. Trust me the new looks wear thin quickly!

i also like the old one
Ok I'm going to try to provide as much information as possible in order to help me troubleshoot this issue. My computer is running windows 7 home premium 64 bit. I've got a tmobile htc G2. I bought it used off of a friend and it was previously rooted and IIRC it had 2.3.7 gingerbread on it? not 100% sure. Since then I've updated the Clockwork to 5.0 from 3.0 and I updated the rom to an ICS 4.0.3. I tried virtuous at first and I believe now I'm using virtuous quattro RC3. I don't know If I'm still in an early version or what but I hate it. My apps (mocospace) crash constantly, even from switching from portrait to landscape, even the browser version of mocospace. I even tried downloading opera and dolphin and the same thing happens. Also with youtube, when I watch videos, they are not videos, they are more of a slideshow, I've downloaded adobe air and adobe flash but the videos are still in frames. I'm looking for one of two things, A Stable ICS that will work on my G2, or to go back to a previous version of android that will work fine like it used to. this version on this phone is driving me nuts, I constantly have to power off/on my phone to reset a Blank homescreen issue, or the icons will be blurred. thanks in Advance! - Andy

Good God, Seriously?
If it sucks so bad flash something else. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=758 and look for something that suits your fancy. *****ing in a general discussion section without using the search options will not get you any help. I stumbled upon this post on accident and thought "Eh, why the hell not". Qualcomm chipsets like those in the Vision and Glacier and most HTC phones don't have stable ICS yet due to driver issues. READ READ READ READ then READ some more then flash. Otherwise you'll be this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwleOote5M0&list=FLiSUReotYhEITuOWRb6Hb8w&index=11&feature=plpp_video
I was actually reading up on some different roms while I was at work tonight and figured I would try out both the Andromedus, and the CyanogenMods. I Do appreciate your help though, and [email protected] the video. When I bought this phone off of a friend it was already rooted and had 2.3.7 on it I believe, I just wanted to try out android 4.0. I'm guessing though like you say its still too early to find something awesome. I don't even mind this one so much except that it seems like itcant handle any graphical apps or procedures. once again thank you
Yea, the GPU on HTC phones doesn't have native ICS drivers yet. Good luck chief

Hmmm a little skeptical as fennec was a complete suck-ass.
Firefox>other browsers for sure though

it would be great if i still used firefox on my desktop for syncing but i'm a chrome user and that makes the chrome beta better for me since that also syncs with desktop version.
Thanks for the notice. I've been on the FF beta and have been disappointed. Have found Chrome way better/faster.
Off to try the new version!
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
have to admit, so far the ff is winning in my books. I'm posting this on this and it is fluid, not bouncing, flash works great so far. bookmark syncing isnt a deal breaker for me anymore since i hardly use my laptop sxcept for using adb or other flashing tools. rendered the xda main list in a fraction of the time and with way less stutter than most browsers. happy doaner!
I wish this came out six months ago as I'm using Chrome across all my devices.
only using for a few hours so far, but loving it on my one x

Well, you were right. It's a huge improvement! Not sure I love the mobile bersipn of Google it offers by default. Also can't find a way to disappear hapric feedback on click, which annoys me. Other than that, really nice.

How do you open the bookmark page... I been looking for it but could not find it.
sync went as planned but im seeing alot of overlapped text and pictures on almost every site i normally visit.
It is VERY fast and pinch is very fast! Cant wait for full version!
you can move the screen around with 2 fingers
It's definitely a great improvement over what I remember FF being on my old phone. Looks very promising for being beta. I am definitely a Firefox guy though so I am a bit biased.
However, if I am being honest I would say so far Chrome seems to be much more optimized on the HOX. All the stylistic and design choices I've encountered so far seem to have been made with Android (ICS) in mind from the start.
With the FF browser the vibe I get is quite the opposite: that they wanted to have traditional FF on an Android device.
Haven't had a chance to really test things like speed/memory performance yet. Looking good though.
I agree with the OP, the new FF beta is fantastic. Kind of shockingly so.
Loading sites The Verge and Engadget it performs better than any mobile browser I've used and that includes Safari.
Definitely an improvement over the original FF, but if you want speed check out Quick ICS Browser. It's my default on both the HOX and GTab.
It shows the following message "This item cannot be installed on your device."

Installed fine on mine.
Took me about 10 minutes to realize I didn't want to use it, but it installed and ran fine.
Having this exact same problem on my HOX aswell.
Might I ask what region you're trying to install from? (UK, US, etc?)
And also which region the last poser successfully installed from?
EDIT : It turns out it is only vailable in the US for now, but as a UK user like myself you can actually use the app by downloading it's .APK directly from this site : www (dot) androidpolice.com/2013/04/12/facebook-home-starts-showing-up-on-the-play-store-available-for-select-devices/
It seems to be working fine atm.
I can download and install the app, but Home says that my device is unsupported
I'm using CM 10.1, so that might be related to why it thinks I don't have a One X. Any ideas?

Thanks! It worked =)
I was trying from Mexico (My HOXL is the AT&T version, though)
Running CM 10.1 also and I would imagine thats why it isn't supported. Maybe on a sense based ROM out there it would work.
From what I've seen, it apparently does some checks (build.prop maybe) to ensure it's on an officially supported device. AOSP roms likely interfere with that.
I'm on stock rooted and can't even find it on the store. I have the new play store, so I don't know.

Epically horrible!!!!!! I'm a little surprised how its being received by some as a phenomenal launcher. The reviews in the playstore say it all, though I am glad to see Facebook embracing the Android platform. Too many steps to get to your apps, for me it seems counter productive.

Go to your build.prop and change your model to HTC one x. This is if your on anything other then sense. And do a reboot and you should be able to use it now

@MAJORTAYLOR, yes i did, i installed the one from playstore,working sms and everything except option for chatheads was missing. so i installed a version of fb messenger with working chatheadsthat floating around XDA, i now have the chatheads option but NO sms option. LOL, I'M GOING NUTS HERE!!!
Looking at official videos, it seems like an overlay on the phone. Kind of like the HTC Facebook phone (cha cha or status, I think). Not a big fan, but if someone has a fully functional app running, can you let us know your thoughts.

I experimented with it a little yesterday and it really does take away a lot of the android feel -- No Widgets or anything its all Facebook. I do like chat-heads I think thats pretty awesome but you can get that with just Messenger so I just stuck with that. I was a little concerned about my privacy with facebook integrating my SMS as well. Call me paranoid but Facebook has been iffy about their privacy policies in the past...then again, I guess many of the web-based services I use aren't known well for protecting user privacy. In any event, I do think the launcher is smooth and is actually a cool concept, but complete removal of the widgets is what got me.

So this is best for Facebook heavy users, not android. You might just want to stick with the app. Question, can you revert on the flip? Like an on/off switch
