Want the new Android Market?

http://www.androidcentral.com/grab-new-android-market-app-while-its-hot
You might have heard that Google was rolling out a new Android Market, complete with book and movie rentals. You also might have heard it would coming in the next few weeks. Well thanks to an anonymous source (possibly with a time machine) you can grab it today.
Hit the download link, and install it from your SD card like any other app. Fair warning -- we don't know if there will be any complications from doing this, but we haven't seen any so far. Use your best judgement. Discuss it in the forums!

I have occasionally gotten an "error retrieving information from server" but other than that it seems to work.

Seems a little cluttered but i like it mostly. I'd recomend using something to backup your old market app in case this one doesnt work for anything, in the comments on that post some people said they were having problems uninstalling/updating apps.

I had no problem uninstalling apps. Haven't tried updating yet.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side.

Yeah, I just uninstalled and installed an app no problem too. But all of my apps are up to date so I don't know about updating.

Do y'all have the video/movie tab?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I think this is a beta and the movie tab will be in the next update they're not done with it.

I haven't run into any problems updating Apps so far

awesome looks cool by any chance anyone running Ninja 7061 and using the new market place.
? though since I have the stander market how would I save the .apk for that so just in case I dont like this one? Also do I just add the this new .apk like any other .apk file, I use Android Side Load Wonder Machine when I install .apks

Why bother with any software or plugging your phone in to install an APK? It all seems a bit unnecessary. I just chrome-to-phoned the dropbox URL and bam app installed.

If your running tpgb ninja your rooted, so you don't need the sideload machine, just go to settings>applications>and check unknown sources. Then put this apk on your sd card and use file manager (an app installed in ninja) to select it and install.
Oh, and i am running ninja 7061. but i think i might just go back to stock CM

FOr people who want old market follow these steps:
(Originally Posted By:Chris Chavez of Phandroid)
Go into your phone’s Settings
Select “Manage Applications”
Select the “All” tab at the top
Scroll down to Market app and select it
Select “Uninstall Updates”
Now have your old Market back!
----------------------------------------------------
If that fails, install gapps via rom manager>download ROM>gapps

It's not a "method" really, it's just.. installing the app, the same way you would any APK. Doesn't matter how you get the url to the APK to your phone (email, chrome to phone, typing it in by hand).

Well I call it a method so nah! . I just hadn't thought of using it that way.

New market .APK (Ver. 3.1.3)

Here is the .apk for the new market that was updated. Adds a feature to +1 an app and also adds PIN protection for purchasing apps.

Watch my video and be the judge. That's why i made it. But to answer you id say no its fixed.

The slowness and lagginess of the new Market reminds me of Ovi Store on my old Nokia N96. Google can do much better than this! Probably a "contract out" job. No other Google app is anywhere near this bad.

Found a way to bypass the PIN system.
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications >Market > Clear Data
If you had set up a pin, clear the data then it won't be set up anymore...
Really poor implementation.

Did you try purchasing an app after clearing data? I'm just thinking that although the cleared settings may not show there is a PIN set up anymore, it might be stored server-side?
Otherwise, yes, that is appalling!

with this thing is basically impossible to update anything ... Google Maps, Locations, AURA for Android, Sound Houd etc etc ... a message pops up telling me an update is available, when i tap it it shows the application page on market i tap update a loading circle appears and iam waiting and waiting and waiting ... 5min, 20min, 30mins .. then exiting market app with no update.

Hey guys. I'm sorry if this is off topic. On my sensation I have changed the screen density and now the new market is missing movies. Is there a fix for that?

WOW! mine from the thread i posted works flawlessly. did you try it?

Google search crappy update

Did the new update also mess up the searching capabilities of your phone? Try to.search sth in the music library..
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

Damn it did. Music search does not work anymore Let's see if I can get rid of the bloody update...

Can you describe more of what you mean? I can still search music and everything just fine.

No u cant from e.g music player, open the music player and go to album/artist/all songs section and try to press the search button.. ive been reading a lot of negative feedback for the new search update, apparently it messed up all htc models and samsung aswell

You need to go into the settings in go into search and go into searchable items and check music and there you go. It didn't mess anything up.

U2 is one of my favorite bands did u try by the steps I mentioned? Open music player -> open all songs directory -> press search
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

Hi Xxul, I'd never even tried that method before to be honest and you're right, nothing happens when i press the search button when following the steps you wrote. I have to say I don't feel I'm missing anything as I never knew I could do this anyway but I can see it could be a frustration if you're used to it. Wonder what the logic was behind the change then
We can both be ashamed in our choice of music then too lol...

I am deeply deeply sorry for my rude post then. The thing is a lot of users are so mean here and there is so much hate going on that I just automatically triggered my defence mechanism... Again I hope u can forget this little dispute as I am truly ashamed of my words..

YouTube and Play market link question?

Is there a way to make it that the HOX opens links to market apps or YouTube videos in those apps rather then the browser. Every time some sends me a YouTube video or link to an app it goes to the browser rather then the app.

Settings . Manage apps. Click on app that is default for handling YouTube links and click clear default.

That is HTCs way around the Apple patents. Flash a custom ROM and it will work the way it's supposed to.

Delete HTCLinkifyDispatcher with Titanium Backup. Then go into Manage Apps and clear the data on whatever browser you are using. Next time you click on a Play Store or YouTube link it will show the pop up asking how you want to open it.

That breaks other links, like text messaging and email.
Now that I think of it, there's actually a build.prop edit that solves this. I'll find it and post it when I get to my computer after work, unless someone else can dig it up before then.

help with trick droid 7.0.0 tweaks

Need to be more specific please. Mention what you did, what you did or steps you took to get to this point etc etc etc

i checked everything, so basically i installed every single tweak

Does the problem go away when you uncheck? From what you've stated I would go through each till you find the problem. That's all you've really given to go on. Did you check faq it see if this is a known issue in said Rom?

I had that too and it's not a problem with sense its the sense keyboard. If it says sense input then that's what it is. You can solve it by downloading another keyboard and put it in your sd card. Then Install it. You probably can't even download it from your phone so download it from your computer as an apk then send it through a usb. 4shared.com is a really good place to find apps for free
