Hey guys, I modified the new 3.4.6 market to be fixed at 240 DPI, for people who use unstandard DPIs and want to use the market properly.
Seems to work for me, but I haven't tested much, so install at your own risk, and always make proper backups.
Edit: def seems to work for me. A bunch of apps asked to update with this market, I remember that not happening with the standard market
Here's how I did it for those who are curious
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20624277&postcount=13
Push it into system/app, giving it correct permissions, and clear market data before running market.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10741863/Vending.apk
Enjoy.
Hi!
I tested your vending.apk. But dosn't work. I use 192 dpi.
My phone sg2, with Bezke Aokp rom.
Put the file system/app, wipe app data. Don't work. Make cache and dalvik wipe, but nothing happen.
Did you change permissions? Use root explorer and hold press on the file, then select permissions. You will see a 3x3 grid of squares, make sure the 3 to the left are checked, and the top square in the middle is checked. All other squares in the grid must be empty. Also I'm not sure if this is nessecary but I've had issues with it appearing if you don't change owner as well. To do so, hold press on the market(root explorer again), and go to the bottom and select change owner. Switch both options to 0-root. Then reboot.
I referred to the following sites.

Thanks a lot...now it's much better...
The modded Google play apk works well for me.... No incompatibility issues at all..
Hey, thanks for this man It works I think.
I just used it
Hm do movies show up for you guys because I am not seeing that option.

I followed all these steps and I still don't see it in the app drawer Am I missing something here? You don't have to install it after putting in /system/app do you? I thought it would just show up after reboot....?
I believe that is a separate apk. Don't know if dpi affects compatibility on that. Look around for Google play music apk.
here you are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533862
So, I can see movies from the apk that I uploaded just fine. You cannot rent movies from the standard app if you are rooted though, so you will have to get the app for root users from the link that i posted.
@RubenRybnik
Then you did not follow them properly.
You must take the apk, copy to /system/app, change permissions, change owner and reboot. then when you boot in, clear data for the market. but it will be there when you reboot.
Also, I tried to do this for the new 3.4.7 version, but I got incompatibility messages on the google play apps from the market. I'll try again tomorrow, but I'm only following a guide myself, so if it doesn't work, I've got no idea.
AFAIK the only new thing in 3.4.7 is compatibility for motorola devices. if there's anything else i would like to know

The issue is I don't see market, google play or any other icon for the app after putting in /system/app, changing permissions, changing owner and rebooting ... I tried clearing cache/delvik cache, rebooting, but how do you clear market data when you don't see the app after reboot? I did everything the instructions stated...
When you clear market cache is not relevant, just that it is done before you start using the market, cause the old cache will screw with things. So clearing it before copying the file will work as well. Also some people have mentioned that deleting the original vending apk before copying a new one works better. Try that?

I got then icon to show( app to install ) via 'adb install vendor.apk', however the app opens( most times ) I can search, but when I go to download it FCs... I can't seem to get around FCs in Google Play no matter what I try ... desperate at this point, anything else I should try? Or just start my ROM from scratch you think?

Could not get it to work on a rom that came with new googleplay.
Put Vending.apk in system/app set permissions and owner. Renamed googleplay, then deleted the update from data/app and cleared the dalvik cache. Result is no market anywhere.
Getting issues with it now. Worked fine initially. I have no idea what's wrong.
When I clicked my apps in the market, it said no connection even though the internet was fine. I cleared data and that problem went away
Now however, the market is refusing to download anything. It just says Downloading... and nothing happens.
EDIT: Working fine now. Dunno what the problem is :s
Bad news... new version 3.4.7. If yo haven't removed marketupdate.apk this mod will no longer work...
| GalaxyNote ICS | Tapatalk |
First try didn't work, after two reboots second try finally works now on 182dpi , only app not available is es file explorer. Thx for your work!
Its being screwy for me too. Sometimes I'll have movies, sometimes I won't. It shows some apps as incompatible but not others. And I can't even install an apk for the unsupported apps, I've had to push them to data/app. Looks like there needs to be something else done to this market.

Different colors at the bottom, delete the color from the file name when placing on sdcard. i.e. blueupdate.zip > update.zip
MUST BE DEODEXED
All Swypes have matching tracers
All these are for 2.2, there is no reason you shouldnt be on 2.2
Original images from bilbobrian, just some extra days on my part getting it to you
As always do a back up
If on 2.2 and have boot strapper installed to use this update .zip, throw it on sd card, open droid x bootstraper reboot to recovery, apply update.zip, reboot done!
........ without bootstrapper method...........
if you want just the apk for a different color just extract it from the update.zip file
use root explorer or other app to make a copy of your original app ( its in system/app)
First you must remove swype.apk from system/app
any way of your choosing, terminal or adb, then reboot.
follow the following directions
Put the .apk on your sdcard, navigate to it with astro or your fav file browser, open the apk and choose install. If it still says only gives you the option to uninstall, you didnt uninstall correctly.
if you can get it to show up after install go into settings and keyboard and make sure swype is checked
DONE
................ If you somehow botched it...............
restore your back up.
If you were careless enough to not do a back up and your on 2.2 get a clean download here.. MY droid world 2.2 follow those instructions.
then download file again, your last one might of been bad. When in recovery go to mounts and mount system, then install the zip

Fantastic work! Thanks

Finally got the Black Droid Does themed swype working. This is for the X only, landscape mode is different than other versions out there.
Want it?
First you must take full responsibility for the actions you are about to take.
Download the attached link. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QVWKWYK8 Put the .apk on your sdcard.
*optional (using astro or root explorer) Navigate to your system/app folder, find the existing swype.apk and rename to .bak
Open terminal emulator on your X
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/Swype.apk /system/app
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
Open a text box and verify. Its that easy
This cannot be done by copy and paste in root explorer.
Credit goes to
teenfaces (xdaforum) for the code used to make this work
bilbobrian (xdaforums) I think he themed this for other phones (please correct me if it wasnt originally him)
Tparker76 (droidforums) for his help

No, idea. Why would you have a different swype than me? Might want to try to delete your original swype (by root explorer) then just install mine.
Edit: forgot to mention, you sir RAWK, I requested this in a couple diff forums with no response... Do you have a buy me a 6 button? can't see it from tapatalk but I'll gladly click when opportunity comes... I have the same issue... I renamed to .bak prior to entering cmds this voice search isn't even a button it floats between the period and return I'll up a screenie in a sec.

+1 for me.
Great looking skin though.
I can upload the apk straight from my settings, but need to know how to do out straight from my phone.... I'm on the road
op updated, praise the android gods for wireless tether.
New apk straight from my settings and one that i just removed the mic pngs from.
The stats for download said 28 downloads, so is this a hit or miss with peoples phones?
If your removing the swype before pushing this one try leaving it there then push the new one. That is how I did it. Strange thing is if you open up the apk and look at the images there is no button for the mic....
Im not going to be able to tether tomorrow, will have spotty service at best. I will try and get on here when I can though, keep me posted.

I downloaded both of the links on the OP. the "NEW UPLOAD" file still showed the Voice Mic. The one labeled without mic (Duhh ) did indeed take the mic off my keyboard.
Seems to be working great. Thanks for your work.
I think I may just leave it as is it doesn't get in the way for me and it adds a little custom functionality

The Mic button DOES bring up Voice Search.
In a funny/related issue, my Swype Skin DOES NOT SHOW the mic, but if you press where it 'was', the voice search comes up anyway
just loaded the second link w/o mic key and its now gone!

You are correct. I never really use it, and it looks just like the Voice search box, so I just assumed it was the same.
Zaphod-- (for the geeks out there)
Ok, so i unstalled the themed swype, reinstalled the stock swype. It gave me the space for the mic button but did nothing when pressed. If anyone has the original still there does the mic appear on your and does it do anything?
Anyways, with the stock swype on my phone, recompiled a different themed swype and placed it on my phone. Still no mic button (was never in this build to begin with) and no voice search opens when tapping in that area.
Follow new link for v0.3 and new instructions.

bad4u6669, would you mind explaining why the new version should be used vs the old ones, in the OP?
Hey everyone, I want to preface this with apologies if this indeed happens to be an issue previously resolved, i just cannot for the life of me seem to find any info on the subject. This is a big problem for me. For a frame of reference I am running CM7 with Fauxs kernel with the newer looking market update. Dont know when i got this update, just kinda happened, but then you know, i hate it. First of all i cant figure out how to browse all the apps like i used to. In the old market i could browse everything and see if i wanted to mess around with stuff. Now they only show the tops in certain categories or you have to search for it yourself. Hate that. Also, i am having an issue with downloading apps. The little blue download button is just not there on most apps and I am failing to figure out a reason why. some apps have it some dont. some will have it one day and not have it the next. I am really confused and need help. If you know whats wrong with me Id appreciate a hand!
Thanks,
Depressed Android User
Hmmm still having a difficult time seeing what the problem is. The only solution i can think of is to re-flash the latest CM7 Rom along with the latest gapps and make sure to wipe factory data, cache, dalvik, format/system, and fix permissions.
Hope this helps. But when i mess around with my phone too much and do something stupid, this method always works for me. Good luck sir.
I have the exact same problem. Im running GB on my g2x.

sooooo happy im not the only one with this problem, i dont feel like such an idiot anymore. I install clean everytime i install. I wonder what is causing this as some apps have download links while others do not.

Edit 2: by the way, hahhaha i went back to 240 just to see what its like, i can barely function! everything is soooo big! at 200 i have fat screen real estate and the icons and such are much more comfortable on my eyes. its nicer to have more line items on the screen too, like in my music apps, more artists and less scrolling. win

When you select a category, swipe the list to the left or right to view top paid, top free, most recent, etc. Is that what you were looking for in terms of viewing all apps?

Have you tried Fix permissions from CWM Recovery?
If so, and it's still not fixed...you need to backup your SDcard, format it, let it reinstall itself once on Android and bam.
IF STILL NOTHING, you may need to go a step further...ODIN to KJ2, clear cache partition and dalvik cache, fix permissions (just to be safe), check your mounts, then flash. Enable Wi-Fi on Default so the ROM can download the update from Android Market to Google Play after your first reboot. IF THERE'S STILL AN ISSUE AFTER THIS, sorry it has me stumped.
Ok let's get this straight.
This happened to everyone with the market first switched to Google Play, the icon on your homescreen will change to that because the system can no longer find the application Market.apk, but in your app drawer the play store will be there. Just move the play store to a shortcut on your homescreen. The reason that it comes back when u reflash is because you are just reflashing the old, unupdated market, then when you open it again it will delete the Market.apk and install the play store.

I have had apps dissappear from the phone, leaving only a generic green android icon in it's place. I am not sure why this happens, but it usually seems to be after an abnormal reboot. I was thinking it could have something to do with the the SK's seemingly sloppy implementation of putting apps on the sdcard, but the market app is probably stored on the phone, so I dunno.
anyway, were you able to get it back?

I'm trying to incorporate images into some widgets, but the app, as of yesterday, keeps bogging down as soon as I try to load one. I'll click the image I want then it goes back to UCCW and nothing happens. The generic image icon still remains, I can click to switch between objects, but it won't actually switch. What could be causing this? I downloaded a bunch of fonts a few nights ago, but the app was working fine up until yesterday. The app works just fine so long as I don't attempt to import an image file. If anyone has an idea, please let me know. I'm working on a huge project.

been running it since launch, you need to install the lib files to resolve any force closes
Would you mind elaborating a bit more For us not so advanced users on what we need to do please. I, and I'm sure others would be very appreciative.
I tried it and it's party laggy for me.

This along with side loading the hangout app makes it possible to just about have 4.4 from a ui point of view. I get random battery drain from android os or services but its never terrible and always stops after a reboot. In also running cm. Oh and the search by "OK Google" would always fc on me regardless of using the UK English work around.

Tried it when it just came out. Google Search FC everytime I try to search with voice even after the aformentioned lib fix. Have yet to try with P.A.C. ROM which I flashed just a few days ago.
Also modifies Google Search system wide, so if you use Google Search in Nova or other launchers it would take you to the Google Expereince launcher, which kinda sucks because you get this very noticable lag getting to Search.
Otherwise, its nice, but crashes occasionally, would be sticking to Nova Prime.

Never mind, I feel like a moron I figured out how to get everything to work perfect except for the wallpaper. For all of those wanting search and everything else to work, you need to move the appropriate lib files into the system/lib folder like mentioned above. There is a post on this forum for the nexus 7 I think, that has all the apps, lib files, and font files all for download in zip format. To make the launcher work properly and the apps, you just need to be rooted and more the appropriate lib files over.

exactly, the reason I didn't elaborate the first time is because I saw a thread here already and figured you guys knew. It has been working great...

I keep forgetting about that darn button
Is there any way to use the hangout part only without the launcher? Does it work to just install the apk?
