Few days after installing 4.0.4 update manually, I had to clear and uninstall the 3.5.15 play store. One day after that, I am still stuck with the 3.4.7 factory version but before u call me simply impatient, I got worried by the fact that in my manage apps --ยป all list, there is no market updater entry any more!!
So am I in some kind of trouble and waiting the market to update in vein or do u all miss this (4.0.4 structural change?) and I just have to wait a bit longer??? Anyone mind to confirm this for a second??
ps: its obvious that I can install the new market manually, but this is not the point...
ps2: Just checked the contents of the 4.0.4 update package compared to the 4.0.3 - indeed there is no market updater.apk and market updater.odex files anymore, just as is in my phone's system/app directory.
Solved!
During the day I had two confirmations that market updater is no longer a system app in 4.0.4, meaning that the update delay is just a matter of time and not a faulty configuration of my nexus. So, topic can be considered solved and even deleted (?) by the mods

Got into my usual workflow in Titanium Backup, and guess I did something I shouldn't have on my Xoom... let it integrate all updated system apps to the ROM.
The 4 listed were Maps, Cordy, DunDef, and MyApps
I don't seem to have any issues with the first 3, but when in the Market, and hitting "My apps" I get force close of My Apps (process com.android.vending)
I have tried clearing cache & data on Market, Market Feedback Agent, Market Updater & My Apps... no help.
Is there any way to get/reinstall the original MyApps with out full a re-flash?
SOLVED: For a non destructive (ie no wipe) fix to my issue...
- First I flashed a root preped HRI66 system.img from roebeet http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995785 following his instructions.
- Second I re-flashed Tiamat kernal and modules http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013
- Third I re-cleared cache for Market and MyApps
- DONE. Working fine again.
do you have at least 2gb of space available

Yeah. 17.9 gb free
I can install new apps from the market, but get weird notifications during download and after install. I would need to go DL something to find the exact messages.. but something like..
"1#% download"
"app already purchased or is still being processed"
"application failed"
Though the apps (a couple free ones) installed and ran fine.
rooted? 3g or wifi?
3g
v3.0.1 - Tiamat v1.3 Kernal - Rooted
do you have your sdcard?
I would just reflash. that would be the only way. if you have working sdcard i would back up all the apps to it
No way to just push that one piece eh? damn.
I figured out a non-destructive way to solve this. I am adding that info to OP in case it will help someone.
all you should have needed to do was simply uninstall the update to My Apps.that's what I did and it fixed the problem

I was unable to do that, the button was grayed out. That was the first thing I looked to do when it happened.
I have a TW rooted version of the TF300T on build Version V10.4.2.9 , Android 4.1.1 . Recently, as i was trying to install whatsapp on tf300, i came across this a forum gizmolord that has a guide to install whatsapp on tablets without 3g sim slot. And i installed the ALL winners mod app.
This All winners mod App screwed up my build prop. (i didnt know what it was till now) and system apps such as supernote, and mylibrary stopped functioning and crashed (cannot even launch) . As i was a total noob, i tried to shift those apps out of system apps and uninstalled, them hoping to redownload the apks and reinstall them, but to no avail. However, it turned out that it was the build prop that was changed by the "All winners mod" app when i used "build prop editor" to view it.
I manage to find supernote.apk and .odex from a stock rom online and managed to reinstall supernote. I rename some of the prop file settings to ASUS/ EeePAD, then rebooted, and supernote worked fine. However, i cannot find a proper working Asusreader.apk and .odex. The one which i have still says it stopped working whenever i launched it. Also, after i managed to rename the prop file, an OTA came. I tried to update, but halfway it failed , showing a dead android. After which, i forced restarted the tf300t and it says update failed. (i already temp unroot my device)
How do i get the OTA back? And i think it might be because i removed the Mylibrary app (asusreader) which is a system app. So how do i get the My library app working again? Because i cannot find My library in a clean stock rom online. Supernote works fine. I need to update to firmware Version V10.4.2.13.
Help is apppreciated.
HELLO I AM NEW TO XDA BUT HAVE AFIVE YEAR EXPERIANCE IN ANDROID
hey guys want ur old android market which was fast and nice4 follow my steps [working on any device 100% garanteed]
1 root your device
2 freeze market updater through titanium backup [you can find it in google play]
3 download this apk and install [given below]
4 now reboot ur device u can see the old market in your app drawer
hit tanks to me this is the only way to get ur old market
'Force close' on reboot. I've tried a lot of market fixes these last few days, in an attempt to get back my old google market, 'cos I despise the new one. I've tried numerous older versions; v2.3.4, v2.3.6, v1.2.0, separate market and updater apk's, writing permissions, changing ownership, freezing marketupdater, etc etc ETC. On my HTC Desire (MIUI Rom), they either wouldn't take, and would crash on reboot, or would get updated and automatically replaced by Play store, or, like yours, would Force Close all over the place when I rebooted.
The only one that worked, is "OldMarket_v1.1.3.apk". That's because it's not just an old market apk... it installs an old market apk. And even has a mechanism to allow you to switch back to the new one with a click. No need to mess about with terminal, permissions, ownership rights, root explorer, pushing, pulling or tearing your hair out I downloaded files with it, rebooted a couple of times, it still stuck and worked beautifully. And it's a permanent fix, won't update. There you go.
NO, DO NOT HIT THE THANKS BUTTON TO THANK ME! DON'T EVEN THANK ME, DON'T CARE!
If this works as well for you as it did for me, thank member "lojak29". He's the one who posted this here 6 months ago! :laugh::laugh:

but then the dead android with red triangle appeared, rebooted, googled what the reason could be
i also faced this issues with the last updates, but tehn i found teh dlpkg file here, but right now there is none...
i have uninstalled some system apps like cmclient (although the update was found...) and other asus apps i dont use,
could that make the problems?

Yes. All files that are patched by the OTA update *must* be in their original or already updated condition or the update will fail.
If you want to know which files you need, unpack META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script from the dlpkgfile (it's a normal zip file) and read all the assert lines - they list the required files with the expected SHA1 hashes.
I have Android 7.0 on my Note 5. I'm trying to install an older version of Gmail (I have the Unknown Sources thing already turned on) . I have tried downloading the APK files from various sites, but every time I click "install" it always says it can't install the file because it's corrupt.
I've had a few updates since getting the Note (it's been about a year now since I got it from AT&T) and I think one of those updates may be what's causing it to stop installing the APKs. Obviously other changes have been made under the hood, but it has to be the OS because I could install APKs when I first got the phone (back when it had Marshmallow on it).
I've tried wiping the cache and even doing a factory reset and it still won't install the APK file. I've tried several APK files and I keep getting the same response; App not installed. The package appears to be corrupt.
What's really odd is yesterday I was reading an article and it mentioned installing a APK for Google Now integration with Nova Launcher. I thought what the heck and downloaded the APK. It installed without any problems. I got this APK from the same place (APKMirror) I was getting the older APK versions of Gmail. I wonder why this one worked and the Gmail ones didn't?
If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
I managed to install an older version of ES File Explorer this morning. I got it from the APKMirror webite. Unfortunately, none of the Gmail APKs will work. Obviously I can still install APK files, so I'm going to have to search around on some other sites and see if I can find a good one for Gmail.
