Any brave souls tried the new Market today?
Yes, I just tried it. It works! and it fixes the button problem in 2.2.6.
I first tried one that did not work, but I've attached the one I did get to work. Just copy into /system/app, rename to Vending.apk, and change permissions.
Enjoy!

Would this work ?
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb shell cp /system/app/Vending.apk /system/app/oldVending.apk
adb push Vending.apk /system/app
adb reboot
Or, you can just download and install it like any other apply. It'll install over the old Market no problem. It Indore you that it's a system apply, but works anyway.

Anyone have the old Market (Vending.apk)? I stupidly replaced it with the above and broke it. Much obliged.

Just installed it from the APK above. Works great.
Took the plunge... did it from the APK. Works.
The scrolling issue when you had to flip the NC in landscape is gone. But I find it a royal pain to switch between Paid, Free and Just In. For some reason the oval overlay trasfers the click on the app below and I end up opening that instead. I found that switching requires a rather precise click... something to think about Mr. Sergei. Well... maybe not for us free spirits
Thanks, I just installed it and it worked, straight from tapatalk app.
Worked fine for me also.

I've downloaded and put it into the system\app folder, renamed and when market opens it just instantly crashes.
ideas anyone? greatly appreciated
EDIT: ROFL! redid the process and rebooted after double checking permissions, works fine now

I tried and failed with Seesmic so far.
[INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]
Update:
Twitter and Tweetdeck also fail to install (didn't verify the error).
Update2:
Seems like others had noticed this before:
http://forum.samdroid.net/f38/cant-install-seesmic-after-kitchen-v2-1949/#post45656
I do have GMaps installed, though ...
Update3:
Figured out the problem.
Need to push the missing files:
/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
Then reboot and it should be fixed (Twitter, Seesmic, Tweetdeck now install).
Update4:
It seems that this fix may apply to any app that used Google location services. (More useful than I thought )
Also see here (post 10) for the Quick Howto:

Don't forget to remount the /system parition (else, you will get messages about read-only issues).

You can extract the necessary files from any of a number of GApps floating around (like this one):
http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip
That fix actually enables a whole slew of other apps -- basically all the things which wouldnt work because they lacked location services (i.e. all the good stuff). You should seriously post that in another post as a generic non-installing app fix.
I just got Parallel Kingdoms running, so my NC experience is complete.
quick how-to
remount rw so we can modify /system
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
exit
copy over the two files from the zip:
Code:
adb push com.google.android.maps.xml /system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
adb push com.google.android.maps.jar /system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
reboot the device
Code:
adb shell

This should be working, I've done very limited tests to confirm that it's accurate

Also, what gapps bundle did you get those out of, the one linked earlier in the thread? Going to try to push some more files out of it, try to get Gmail and Google Reader working.

New Market (2.2.11) on Nookie Froyo 0.6.6
Update 2/7/2011: Updated for Nooke Froyo 0.6.6. Please READ THE NOTES.
There are 2 methods: Pushing to existing system (just Market) and pushing to new system (all gapps, working Market & Youtube especially)
Notes:
You should exercise caution and make sure you match the case exactly as I have posted. For example, if you push vending.apk instead of Vending.apk, you'll still see the old one, etc. You may also be ignoring a failure message when you copy/paste a command. Report any failure messages.
There are now two sections: Updating and install of Market, and Fresh NookieFroyo/Fresh Market.
Method 1: You have an existing, older market, and you use SD Nookie Froyo. I will note that I started from a format of my SD card, and a fresh image. Report if you used an upgraded NF.
Steps to installing:
1. Download Vending_2_2_11.zip from below
2. Extract Vending_2_2_11.apk to somewhere on your computer. Note the location (eg C:\users\name\blabla\Vending_2_2_11.apk) as yours will be different.
3. Open up a command/termal
4. Use ADB as usual, and run the following commands:
Code:
adb shell
# mount –o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system
(should get a confirmation, it will say exactly what you entered)
# exit
adb push C:\users\name\blabla\Vending_2_2_11.apk /system/app/Vending.apk
5. Now, open Settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications --> All --> Market
6. Clear *cache*, and then Force stop
7. Press back
8. Select Google Services Framework
9. Clear *data*, and then Force Stop
10. Reboot
11. Open market
12. Insert credentials & accept agreement (if needed)
13. *Confirm new market. If you don't have it, stop here.
14. Download something
15. ??? Profit!
Method 2: You just installed Nookie Froyo, you use the SD card version, and you have no gapps.
***EXPERIMENTAL. Gnomes ahead!***
What I have done here is I have taken the nookie devs gapps zip, and changed out the market & youtube apks for known working apks.
1. Download nookie-froyo-gapps-20110207 from here:
(mirror 1 (likely dead) http://rapidshare.com/files/446788041/nookie-froyo-gapps-20110207.zip )
(mirror 2 http://rapidshare.com/files/446835767/nookie-froyo-gapps-20110207.zip )
(mirror 3 http://www.multiupload.com/RFP7W72EVS )
(mirror 4 http://www.multiupload.com/72F253U21B)
2. Unzip. Note the location (C:\Users\name\blabla\nookie-froyo-gapps-20110207)
3. Open up a command/terminal
Code:
adb shell
#mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system
(should get a confirmation, it will say exactly what you entered)
# exit
adb push C:\users\name\PathToUnzippedGoogleApps\system system/
(should see each file push individually, followed by ## pushed successfully)
adb reboot
4. Open market
5. Enter credentials, accept eula
6. Download something, report success/failure of method 2.
7. ??? Profit? Thank me?
If it "freezes" at a loading screen, you may need to reboot.

General Questions
How to get ADB or Nook Color ADB Drivers

I installed ADB & Drivers, but it isn't working!!!
Make sure that "USB Debugging" is enabled under Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging (check)
I can't see "x" app, or all apps
You need to change your build.prop

Neither method worked! Can't download apps. (after trying a reboot)
Please answer the following:
What version of Nookie Froyo (v.#x.#y.#z)
What type of Nooke Froyo (SD card, eMMC)
Which method (one or two)
Post a log of the commands you typed, and the output. Screenshots or copy/paste work best.
I tried it using rootEx since my ADB wasn't installed on a different PC. It did not work once adding to system/app or installing with r/w.

I tried it with ADB, and it worked. Now Need for Speed Shift shows up. I tried everything before, but could not get it to show.

So double checking here:
/system was mounted R/W
you copied it in as Vending.apk (NOT Vending_2_2_11.apk)
you rebooted
And you still have the old market (with the gray bar)?
Tried again over ADB, that worked!! Not sure if RootEx is the way to go or not.
Anyone know if this will work on regular (nootered) 2.1?
Installed via Root Explorer, and it worked for me. Here's what I did:
Renamed it to: Vending.apk
Mounted System as R/W
Copied Vending.apk to: /System/app/
Rebooted NC then installed Vending.apk from /System/app/
Tested and working.
I tried installing it before rebooting and it just said that it didn't install.

Maybe this is where I went wrong. I tried installing it BEFORE rebooting, not after.
I am unable to install from either method, RootExplorer or ADB.
With ADB everything went fine, but after reboot I had no Market installed. I checked the system directory, and the apk file was there, but trying to do anything with it resulted in "Unable to Parse Package" errors.
I tried manually with RootExplorer as well, and received the same errors.
EDIT: I even loaded my backup from RomManager to see if that would allow me to try again, but I am still receiving the same errors. Once again the ADB push method works fine to get the file in as Vending.apk in RW mode to system, but then upon reboot there is no market installed anymore.
The apk file is in the system/app directory, but it's not installed for some reason. Any attempt to do so results in the parse errors.
Not working on 2.1.
I haven't been willing to root my nook because all of my school books are on there. Just been using Nookie on SD. I'll update the OP later with some updated directions based on additional feedback tonight. Plus, I need to write a "from stock" tutorial that would be nice to have on the wiki.
Especially curious to know about it working on 2.1. Keep the feedback on that coming please

What exactly did you do, what happened (I guess you still have a gray top-bar market), did you reboot, and are you on Nookie Froyo?
Note that unlike most apks, you don't "install" (adb install <file>). You just push the file (adb push /system/app/Vending.apk). Also, there is case sensitivity. vending.apk and Vending.apk are two different files in *nix.

You can either add any missing files using the above code or just run the script and it will overwrite/replace everything. I have been mucking with files so hopefully everything required is included... I've left v1 attached just in case.
When downloading from the market sometimes it is very slow, sometimes very fast. There can also be a delay between when you click install and you see the download start. Be patient, if you click install again you will start a second download.

Doesn't usually work for me... went with what I know works.
I just get FC's out of the framework and the market... Using the 02 version of the Nook Honey posted which adds sound... Something needs to change in the framework or such?
I updated to 1.1.0.
Everything works great.
The Market is totally different. I used to only have a few apps in portrait, but in landscape I had more.
Now it all looks different but works great portrait or landscape.
Seems like I have many more apps available now.
I am a Happy Camper!
Worked well for me. Only a few things that won't install....get Unknown error - 18 trying to install Anry Birds.. anyone know what could be the cause of this?

No, I made the disk, booted into HC (2, with sound), plugged in USB cable, pushed/chmod'ed, rebooted. From there FC's on related items. Didn't do anything else at all.
I might mess with a bit more here later. I have it on two cards, one I put your files on, the other I didn't....
Weird.. Rebooted a few times and the FC's stopped, and then the market worked, google sync worked..
Then things went south again Okay, HC is cute, played with it, check! Back to the stock ROM.

I have gotten a few Close or Waits (choose Wait) and maybe 1 Force Close, but for the most part I've done 3 installs now on fresh/clean images and no problems.
Theres a new version of the Swype beta that is IMMENSELY better than the preloaded swype that comes with the atrix, it literally fixes all the annoying things of the older Swype versions:
http://beta.swype.com/
Swype 3.x beta works with the method below!
Process:
1) Use Root Explorer/Terminal/ADB to backup and then delete Swype.apk from /system/app and libSwypecore.so from /System/lib
2) Download the installer from https://beta.swype.com/android/get/ (on your phone)
3) Use installer to login and install latest version of swype
After your first phone reboot, if you are experiencing Swype Force closes after installing the latest swype, uninstall swype from your phone and then reinstall it; it should no longer force close after reboot.
If you are still experiencing force crashing after reinstall, try wiping your dalvik cache within CWM. Thanks Dudeman Broguy.
If you want to get in the latest beta, sign up over here. Registrations are open right now, hurry before they close them again!
Thanks to playin4sheezy for figuring this out: post #12
yes, i have been using it all day and it looks and feels great! if you have sideloading enabled, when you start the install it will ask to over write the current one.

Im trying to use the installer and it tells me to disable swype, and you cant disable the built in one. Can you pm me the apk?
Yea, I get to the point where it says "Licensing Swype, please wait...." and it doesn't get past that.
You need to go into /system/app and move Swype.apk to a backup folder on /mnt/sdcard
Then go into /system/lib and do the same for libSwypeCore.so
Give it a reboot and then try to install the beta. It worked for me
How did you move the apk, it wont allow me to do so

you have to use root explorer (and be rooted) or you could use terminal/adb (still have to be rooted)
Sorry for the noob questions! Move it completely? or make a back up of it? and also any apps out there like root explorer but free ?
I tried the above steps but the libswypecore is still in the system folder when i move it as it is read only...

If youre rooted, root explorer is worth the money. You have to move Swype.apk completely, and make sure its not there after moving or the install wont work.
Make sure if you are in Root Explorer that you click the R/W button at the top to make the system folder Read/Write access. Then long press the files and click move and goto sdcard and make a folder named "whatever you want" then click paste..
Or you could do this using adb with Atrix plugged into the computer:
goto command prompt
type the following:
adb shell
su
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/swype_backup
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cp /system/app/Swype.apk /mnt/sdcard/swype_backup
cp /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so /mnt/sdcard/swype_backup
rm /system/app/Swype.apk
rm /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
Hopefully this gets you going

Is your phone rooted? If so, then when you typed su in adb shell(not terminal) did it ask you for superuser permission? If so, then you should make sure and accept it.
If your phone is not rooted, then I don't think your gonna get this working

I didnt need to move/delete libSwypeCore.so and the install worked fine.

Ok. Be aware that I've had previous issues with swype after few days of use because I didn't remove that file

I would suggest someone testing that you can in fact put it back to the stock setup. Mine somehow got deleted when i first got the phone, and it doesn't come back, factory reset or otherwise.

i have been messing with swype for the last few days
i can guarentte you that if u installed / mounted a messed up version of swype (WVGA with a language pack in my case), you can just use put the backup stock swype back on /system/app and it'll be fine again
i get an error on sign-in into the installer, says device id dont match. any ideas?
EDIT: I had to log into mySwype and remove my old phone (nexus one) and then now it works!
Hi,
I'm attempting to replace Email.apk on my miui rom. This is the method I am using:
Code:
adb push Email.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
rm /system/app/Email.apk
rm /system/app/Email.odex
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system
cp /sdcard/Email.apk /system/app
reboot
When the phone has rebooted, my changes do not take affect. To check, I pulled the /system/app/Email.apk back, and found it to be the original version.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Have figured this out...
adb appears to send some kind of cached version over. Renaming the file before transferring forced adb to use the correct file, and all is well.

How? I like to know too, guide step by step....thanks
You mean renaming the original file first to any name then copy the moded file with the original name ?
If that what u mean , so I better to delete the original one first then but enstead my moded file . Is that right ?

You'll get lots of FCs until you reboot the phone then it should be fine.
