I'm not certain how many on here have used the new market, but i find it HORRENDOUS!
I plan on moving an old version of Vending.apk to system/app to replace it.
My concern is the market will automatically update. Can anyone comment who has tried this already? Is there any way to avoid it updating, or can the ROM developers prevent this in their custom ROMs?
I really have no clue why developers are using it.... its just SO bad. This is the first time I have been disappointed with Googles direction with Android.
how did it automatically update?? OTA???

actually the MARKET does auto-update itself. how do i know? because i received the new market without any mods to the market the night people started to report the update. plus theres a 1st party apk called MARKET UPDATER.
100% sure this will work. go to SETTINGS/APPLICATIONS/make sure the filter is set to ALL and scroll down to MARKET... click it and hit UNINSTALL UPDATES. this method worked when i received the the SIMILAR tab update,but im not sure if itll completely remove the NEW revamped market.
HIT THANKS BUTTON PLZ =) no need to install an old vending.apk

Well, the Market DOES AUTO-Update, even if you Uninstall Updates.... that's the problem.
I suppose I will move an old Market and replace the current one in system/app... but I imagine that if I freeze (titanium backup) the Market Updater app that may lead to problems? I don't think that app can be removed and not cause FC's... I would love to know that is incorrect.
If that is the case, I imagine it would be easy to avoid the new market. Anyone else hate this new updated market and tried this yet?

i just tried the "uninstall updates" method and i will let you know how long it takes for my phone to update back to the new market
it does auto update and installs in data/app not system/app
Check the cache for the update apks. I all ready have two in my cache.
I thought I may get used to the UI.... I am not. Still FUGLY and not intuitive.
Has anyone tried
1. Uninstalling the update with data & wifi off
2. Using a shell and changing the permissions of the Market.apk to read only?
Anyone had success with this?
Uninstalling the update does nothing for me now.

Download the axura rom. Extract go to system apps then get the vending app and put it on ur current rom for some reason... Axura s market doesn't work like others it never updates.
I used it for 2 weeks and it never updated. Try that but save your current vending in case out doesn't work.
As for me my new market its working fine a few complaints but its alright for now...

can you just post the market.apk here? downloading an entire ROM just for one app sounds really unappetizing haha
outside of the above suggestion,I have personally tried every method you could possibly think of to permanently revert back to an old market, but this btch is quite relentless. I may create a Nandroid backup and uninstall the Market Updater....just to see what happens.
^ yeah, I have given up hope and now just hope Google can make another "improvement" to the market. It needs to change... I was LOVING the now older version with "Related" added, but the new UI and 15 minute policy just sucks (for me anyway).
Hello,
I have flashed my vibrant with from JI6 (t-mo) to (bionix V 1.2.1) froyo but the android market still shows that my phone is running JI6.
Is there a setting in the android market that I need to change to make the market see that I am running froyo.
thanks
How do you know what the market sees your phone as?
Does Adobe Flash show up when you search "adobe" ?

Because when I go to the android market website (market.android.com) and then I sign in using my google account.
I clicked on an app, let say car home (google inc, tools). Then Ichoice to device to install too, my vibrant is grey out with a
question mark. I click on the question mark - it will display not compatible to my device.
I tried installing it thru appbrain , it displays that my device is running android 2.1. The car home came with TW nero5 before. BionixV 1.2.1 does not come with it. This is the reason why I want to install it.
Best thing to do would be to ODIN back to stock, then upgrade to froyo (2.2) with Kies Mini, THEN flash a custom ROM. Preferably Bionix-V 1.3.1, works great, and has the awesome of 1.2.1 + 1.3.1 features.
The reason it says that is because the rom probably still has the same modem installed.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
never used mini kies.
mmm.... since I did flash bionixV 1.2.1, does it still use the same modem as J16?
Can someone be kind enough to give me the car home apk made by google?
try using Market Enabler if you want to see more froyo apps.
OK I'll try it

TBH i've never used it because i've never had problems with Market, but i just downloaded it to see what it looks like, and i think you go to the SETTINGS LIST and then select
[us] TMOBILE (TMOBILE)
which means that you live in the USA and are on TMOBILE network.
choose which-ever network your on.
Then try it
So I use hbo go alot for my commute and just upgraded to nayvalants cherryrom 2.3.4. Hbo go doesn't show up on the market anymore, not compatible anymore, so I restored a backup from titanium. It works fine until I go to load a video and ut just keeps loading. Any ideas if its because of compatibility issues or is there someway to fix?

If it helps eliminate some theories:
I'm on OTA 2.3.4 , HBO Go not in market, but had it installed already previously. Plays videos fine.
Maybe try uninstalling and re-backing up ..
or it could be specific to nayvalants rom?
Some people have been reporting that apps are missing in the Market after flashing to 2.3.4.
Also, are either of you using the new leaked Market?
If so, this will cause data connection drops, and can show files as downloading for long periods before they time out.
If you are on the new Market, suggest you revert back by Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > select Market > select Uninstall Updates.

Regular market.
Its on Market version 3.0.26 which i assume is the new version since it has a completely new look to it. If it is the new one, its the one that came installed with the rom. What are you recommendations?
eh? do i have to install the old version of market? what version # is that?
cool man nice to see this

No, I'm on the old market version and HBO GO is not on there for me via 2.34 OTA. I have it from when I was 2.2.2
Not in the market for me, either. Ken's beta 4.5, AT&T. Didn't there used to be a market enabler somewhere? I'm betting AT&T blocks it.

is there a way to downgrade the market to the old version? the new market wont let me dl anything anymore, says there is not enough room on the device...
Not blocked just may not be 2.3.4 compatible

search online for the latest .apk youll find it and manually install it. still works HBO just needs to update their app but im guessing that wont happen till we get an official gingerbread release
anyone know where to get the old vending.apk? I can't find one.
I upgraded to nayvalant's 1.1 with the old market and HBO still doesn't show up in the market. I restored my backup of HBO and it still doesn't work. Guess it truly isn't compatible with 2.3.4
Works fine for me...

I posted it wasn't a matter of old vs new market. It doesn't show up at all.
It DOES work though, just doens't show up in market. Works perfectly fine on 2.3.4 so maybe it's a nayvalant thing where it doesn't play for you.
and the reason for not posting a link to the 1.03 version ?!?!
i hav 1.02 might be the reason.
not gonna share the link??

I don't have a link... but I flashed samcripp's ninja rom today and HBO GO shows up when I search in the market. It's either ninja rom or the HBO app updated to show up in 2.3.4 market. Try a search again.
Just installed ninja rom and HBO works and appeared in the market. Must just be something specific navalynt's rom. Thnx!
I had Words with Friends on my Nook that was running Phiremod 6.1
It was working fine up until yesterday. I didnt update anything. When I opened WWF it said there was an update and it took me to the android market website where it said that the app was not compatible with my nook. I uninstalled it and tried to install it again but now I dont have the option to install it. Anyone else having the same issues?
same here im running phiremod 6.3 i even found an apk cause it wont download in market.im hoping WWF fixes this..
Same here - I'm running CM7. I'm hoping Zynga fixes this.
Yes I am having the same issues , running cm7 off sd card . When I open the words with friends it opens a window to update, I cant get around it. When I do try to update it it sayes the color nook is incompatiable . And yet it wont let me not update. All my family have ipod touchs and iphones and havent had this issue .
Same problem as well. Running Phiremod Nook v7 TEST. I installed the APK from the XDA site originally, but it seems like that version has now been blocked by Zynga - I get the update dialog that I cannot dismiss.
Tried uninstalling, but now I can't even open the APK from the links here to reinstall.
Settings- applications- find market- uninstall updates- download it with the old market.

That fixed it. Uninstalling the Updates to the Market did the trick. For some reason the new market doesnt allow a bunch of apps to work with a modified Nook.
that didnt work for me after clearing updates for market it still comes back as the new market..

Thanks! Worked for me too on the Nook Color.
The old Market trick works. You have to be quick though, else it updates again and you have to go through it again.
thank you I am back up running the words with friends with the old market
Reverting back to the old Market , allowed me to download game from market . All is well now . Thanks
Is there an APK floating around that i can send someone?
so there is no way to get it without reverting back to the old market? :-/

You could also change your dpi to 160 and then delete market data to continue to use the new market but it will eventually go back to the way it is now and you'll have to clear market data again.

Is it just me or does the new Android Market suck. Don't mind the addition of content but the thing is just slow now. Once it loads, trying to go to my apps or other screens brings up the "Loading..." prompt and it seems to sit there forever. Never had this problem on the old one.
Plus, sometimes it will tell me apps need to be updated, I will go click on them, and no update button. Just "Open" and "Uninstall"?? It does it opposite too. Some apps will have an update but it won't tell me. If I go look at the app it won't show that an update is available until I click on it. Then sometimes I have to update the thing twice just to get it to take.
Granted this could be an issue with Juggs update.zip file, Titanium, or something else but I'll put my money on the Market app.
I'm runninga completely stock MoPho and I get the same market "false" updates. I think the MoPho market needs a serious update. I'm almost to the point where I'll only use appbrain. Hopefully this is on their long list of things to fix!
I experience the same issues, it's the app.
Yes
..i downloaded market older version but it always update back to the current version.....suks
Moto photon
The same thing happens on all android phones, not just the photon.
Just go into settings and manage apps and uninstall the update. If your rooted you can delete the market updater.apk
