i have been having issues with the market 2.2 app. when updating certain apps get stuck in the download (ex. titanium backup, root explorer) i reverted to the stock market app and i updated both apps with no issues, anyone else have had these problems? its nice to have the update all option but if i keep having problems it is not worth it.

I restored all of my apps with mybackup pro on a rom with the new market on it. It restored market links to apps that I got on amazon (this didn't happen on the old market) and now the android market keeps alerting me of updates but fails necause I did not purchase them from the android market.
Does anyone know how to remove a market link on the new market?? I tried the remove market link option in mybackup but it fails on the new market.
*edit* I used titanium backup to remove the links and it fixed it on the phone side but the web market still shows these apps as purchased.
Ok. I bought this G Tab knowing that I would have to install ROMs, tweak .prop files, NVFlash, CWM, RootExplorer, etc. No problem there.
But now I have had it with this new Market. Many (if not most) applications are showing as incompatible with my tablet even though I already installed them. My beloved Word With Friends now requires an update, but I can not install it from the Market as the new Market believes the app is incompatible with my ROM. That is the last draw as I cannot play it anymore.
So does anybody have a market.zip that has Market 2.3.6 so I can go back to the old market? I have the .apk files but I think I need something that could install via CWM (BL 1.2) since all the apks do not work if you install them by themselves (they all FC). I would freeze market updater so it does not upgrade again to 3.x.
Thanks

Installed the GAPPS and it did not install the market. Tried uninstalling Market and Market updater first and still no go.
It looks like something is blocking the old market from being installed. I extracted it and installed it myself but it then FC everytime it started.
Very frustrating. This is the kind of crap that is going to kill android. It just looks like Google is purposedly trying to lock out aftermarket ROMs from accessing Market apps.
This happens to me frequently. The solution Ive found is to stop the market and clear data. After this is done, launch the market and youll no longer get the error. Sometimes Ill have to do this 3-4 times a day. Good luck.
Interestingly enough, I think I got a workaround. Through some investigation, I found out that the problem was that many apps were being filtered because of the screen resolution. So I started working with the density property in the build.prop to find out if there was a magic number that will make things work like they used to. It appears that I did find that number and it is 160.
So I updated the build.prop line with Root Explorer:
qemu.sf.lcd_density=160
After that I cleared the Market app data and the Google Services Framework data. Rebooted and everything that was previously installed seems to be recognized and the applications started updating again.
Hi,
I am currently on Galaxy S2, Gingerbread 2.3.3, and am planning to uninstall the System app Google Maps using Titanium Backup.
For now I will use a third party app (Sygic). However in the future I may want to install it later, but if possible I will choose to install it as a normal app instead of restoring the system app.
Questions -
1. If I remove Maps, will it affect any other part of the system that you would like to caution me about?
2. If I replace the system app with normal app, will I be able to upgrade to next version of android whenever it's rolled out for my phone?
You may just freeze it...
But as I know, there is no problem after removed it from system. I've my maps removed as system as well and installed with Burt Maps which Is non-system app.
PS, if you installed custom Rom, you won't get official update anymore.
Won't effect system upgrade.
Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
I am curious if there are any Custom ROMS that do NOT have root access- Or superuser app pre-installed?
The reason I am asking is I need a phone just for work. I need to have access to 2 apps. Good for Enterprise - and Lync 2010.
I used my old Vibrant for this task. I was on ICS Passion but I was unable to install GOOD for enterprise app due to the device being Rooted.
I used ODIN to return to stock settings. I updated the phone to 2.2 via samsung Kies mini.
Now I have Good working but can't download Lync 2010 because the Google market wont update to Google Play.
So in short I need a ROM that is not rooted but has Google Play.
Any ideas would be great..
Thanks!!
There is OTA Rootkeeper from the market that will allow you to delete and restore root at-will. Also I think that SuperSU will allow you to do this as well, only I'm not sure if that is the paid version or not.
For the Google Market to Play thing, I am pretty sure that if you clear data and cache on the Market and Force Close it, it will update on its own. If it is themed, then hit Unintall Updates and then cleanr data and cache and Force Close. Then it should update on it's own too.

Thank you very much! Force stop on market updater in combination with clearing the cache forced the Google Play upgrade.
I will look into rootkeeper and SuperSU as alternatives so I can have a better ROM. The stock ROM is terrible.
Thanks!
UPDATE--
Still having some issues. Unfortunately LYNC 2010 is not supported on 2.2 and below. So I am still in need of a custom ROM that is NOT rooted (or can be unrooted)
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hi guys, I recently rooted my phone, installed Xposed with only 2 modules, greenify and root cloak, I also have titanium backup and adaway for root apps, I've uninstalled everything that requires root.
Now ever since rooting my phone, I'm not able to book Uber or any cab using Google maps, I had no issues whatsoever on non rooted ROM, so just wondering if this is being caused by root somehow or it's Google maps issue. I'm still running stock oxygen os with mm.
Attaching a screenshot to help you understand what it looks like when trying to book a cab, the two tabs at the bottom won't go away. Deleting app data temporarily resolves this but it comes back in no time.
