You can also extract the rar file and install it like any apk.

it works perfectly!
thx for dat!

yea yea its just easier to extract it then install like any other app!!!!!!!!!!

You don't need to uninstall the orginal Market, just run the apk and it will apply updates
I'm using the new market with an APK I got from Android Police.

I really like your theme, where can I get it?

What theme would that be?

Rename it to Vending.apk, and use adb to push it to /system/app/

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.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

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

Images are missing from gallery ?

after flashing cm10 job rom images are missing but the files are there present on SD card so what to do now.
Thanks
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

If your pictures are not appearing in the gallery you might have to wait a few especially if your just installed the ROM (it may haven't "seen" those files yet). You can also try Clearing Data/Cache for the Gallery app. Another thing you can check is to make sure there isn't a file called ".nomedia" in the folder containing your images as that will "hide" them from being seen by the Gallery.

I hope this is helpful:
I'm not sure this will work, but sometimes my songs wouldn't show up in the Music app. I accidentally discovered that by renaming any random file on my SD card (via some file exploring app such as ES File Explorer) it refreshed my music library and all songs were rediscovered.
I'm not sure this will work for pictures, but it's worth a shot. Definitely do the usual troubleshooting...clear cache etc.

Will try this but I had installed ROM last night they haven't shown up yet

Side load APK without it showing in Play Store

Hi all
I want to side load an app which I have the APK for but don't then want it to show as installed on the Play store.
At the moment I have extracted the APK file using ES File Explorer then uninstalled it from the device. I then side load through a file explorer.
But it pops back up in the play store as installed on device.
Any help welcome

Are you rooted? I think using Titanium Backup would work.
Sent from my Motorola Electrify using xda app-developers app

Not rooted and the phone I want to do this on won't be rooted so kind of rules it out.
I have just tried downloading a file from the Amazon app store and repeating the process and when I install that APK it does not show on installed apps. If you search for the app in the Play store it shows as installed however.
I can kind of live with that but otherwise ideas welcome

can you be more clear on what you are trying to achieve ?
if you install any app using apk directly then open that app in playstore then yes it does show up as installed but if you see in the list of my apps(press options in playstore and it will be the first option) then it wont be listed ..

Does it have to be sideloaded? If not, create a secondary google account, install it via that account, then remove the account. Another option would be to decompile the apk and alter the androidmanifest.xml to make it incompatible with your phone. Not that straightforward, though...

To answer the question above, please basically trying to have an app installed but if the account is looked at using the Play store on a PC it won't show it as being installed.

Play edition Galaxy S4 leaked, new camera app

OP/Pics link here -- http://phandroid.com/2013/06/27/and...leaked-new-camera-app-available-for-download/
If you needed any further proof that Android 4.3 was, in fact, real and headed to Android devices in the very near future, look no further than the leaked screenshots nabbed by SamMobile. What you’re looking at is test build of Android 4.3 (JWR66N) for the Galaxy S4 Google Play edition, running on a regular ‘ol Galaxy S4.
While we don’t know specifics involving the exact changes from 4.2.2. to 4.3, it’s said we could finally see Bluetooth improvements, as well as that new fangled camera application currently found on the Google Play edition HTC One and GS4 running 4.2.2. When it comes to the camera, that can already be downloaded/sideloaded onto your device like any other app. Works without a hitch on most devices.
Download here-- http://www.mediafire.com/download/8tu1o85d21a61i7/camera.google.play.edition.apk
Instructions to install:
1. Download the camera.apk
2. Use a file explorer using root(example root explorer)
3. Copy and paste or move this apk in ur system/app
4. Reboot
5. Walla!
