Just found this new market version on the internet
You need to be running android 2.2+ for it to work
Just install as normal apk (does not apply to 3.2.0)
From my experince it looks nice but isn't realy made for or "slow" legend so it's not that smooth as the older market (does not apply to 3.2.0)
You can always try it, if you like it you keep it, if you dont you uninstall the market update (does not apply to 3.2.0)
Thanks to QUBiCA for posting the latest market, this will probably the latest update by me (most markets update by themselves anyway)
Click me to download 3.4.4
3.2.0 Install instructions
*Set up adb on your pc (need root, not possible to have 3.2.0 without root atm)
*Boot into clockworkmod recovery and mount system
* On pc use "adb push insert here location of Vending.apk on pc /system/app
* Reboot and you will have market version 3.2.0
15/10/2011
updated to 3.2.0 'Vending.apk'(faster then the previous 3.0 markets)
NEED TO INSTALL WITH ADB ATM
*24/08/2011
updated to 3.1.3 (thanks to Asovse1 for the link)
*24/07/2011*

its indeed looking nice
but the new features are nice to, like seeing when an app his last update was (so you don't download abandoned apps, books and movies are a nice addon but cant test that here tho
nice. Thanks man!
It looks better than the old version. I like it.
I like it, but can't for the life of me figure out how to update an app!!
It tells me that I have an app that needs updating, but I can't see any option anywhere to perform that task.
Am I missing something obvious??
in the markte, klick menu and than my apps
Too slow but great design

Issues with my legend since I updated to new market
I've been having screen issues with my legend touch screen (it becomes buggy, glitches and sometimes completely unresponsive to touch) since I updated to the new android market 3.0. Not sure if it was coincidental that my screen problems occured after I successfully installed this app. I have seen a lot of complaint about the legends screen on youtube and other blogs and most have said it a hardware problem (digitizer) and though I believed it might be the case until recently when I noticed (after reverting to the old market app) that all my downloaded app which used to be present/visible wasn't receiving updates and now they have simply disappeared from my phones downloaded apps list on the market. I only see my paid apps on my apps list now
I have tried all possible troubleshooting fix. I have done both hard and soft reset but still no luck with it working as well as it used to. The phone sometimes works well but other times works like it has a mind of its own!! Can't afford sending it in for hardware repairs and/or parts replacement so i'm willing to exhaust all possibilities that this is or is not a software issue.
Need advise/guide Please :-(
Since updating to Market v3.0.27 I've had trouble updating to the latest versions of some apps. Specifically
- Smart Keyboard Pro 4.4.1
- Beautiful Widgets 3.65
For those apps the Market reported there was an update available, but only the Open and Uninstall options were available, no Update option.
I finally used Titanium Backup to restore Market v2.36 (just the app, not the data) and with that version of the Market I was able to update the 2 apps mentioned above.

First off I want to say that MacRom is the most stable/speedy ROM I've used so far (thanks for all the hard work!).
Just a couple issues with the new MR8 update:
1. The new market seems to be really slow? (maybe just due to the older Eris' lack of speed?)
2. I don't know if this is a market related issue or not, but I can't install a couple apps I use. The market doesn't give me an option to even download them: Words with Friends and Google Books. I'm not sure if it's related to the new market or if the apps are somehow incompatible with the new MR8 update?
3. Is there a way to get rid of the blue line that appears whenever you tap the screen to make a selection? I've been searching but have yet to find a way. The line just kind of annoys me, personally.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I love this ROM! Thanks!
Dude the same thing has been happening the past two days for me on Deadly and Spicy ROMs. For instance I had not been able to get Titanium but I got my Pro key fine, and same thing with XDA, regular worked fine but couldn't download premium. I took a nap earlier and woke up and had premium I'm about to check Titanium so it may be a Market issue.

Good to know. Hopefully it's just a market issue then, but still no luck for me...

i too am wondering why i can't download certain apps from the market, like facebook for example. it's not already installed and i get no download button for that app in the market...but i get download button for most other apps.
also wondering about how to get rid of blue bar on menu selections.

I've seen the same issues with MR8 and MR9... I'm looking into the issue, but haven't found a work-around yet. I'm thinking it may possibly be a result of the build revision bump to 2.3.5 that might be throwing the market off (showing the phone as incompatible with your device), but it's only a theory, no fact to that yet...
Glad to know I'm not the only one as I have been having trouble downloading my premium apps too. I flashed 2.3.5 yesterday. I'm a noob so I was wondering what I Fk'd up... LOL!

Throughout the forums there seem to be fairly conflicting reports about CM7 for the Touchpad, it crashes a lot, it mostly works, lots of apps don't work, most common apps do work.
Basically, how reliable is CM7?
I don't use too many apps, so for me it would mainly be for:
- Browser
- Gmail
- Google Docs
- Facebook
- Twitter
- Spotify
- Swiftkey (does the tablet version work?)
Oh, and the official Touchpad Bluetooth Keyboard.
Would I get a good experience out of the current build?
Some answers after 5 days using CM:
-in my case, no SOD, but it seems to vary
- dolphin hd (browser) works nicely
- SwiftKey x tablet also good
- 2 random reboots in 5 days
- facebook ok if you use fake gps to Set up your location (otherwise it crashes)

I have the official hp touchpad keyboard. It works really well once you get it paired. When it ask for the code on the tp put in 0000 then hit ok. As soon as your done hit 0000 on the the keyboard then hit enter. You have to do this really fast while the tp is running the ring on the screen getting ready to pair it. Good luck

One of the most stable "alphas" I've seen, more of a beta. Running Alpha2, a couple times a day I might have to cycle Airplane mode to get wifi back. This seems more frequent if hopping multiple APs. A couple apps you listed have issues;
- Google Docs - current version FCs, had to sideload old version 1.0.4r (search the forum, there are discussions on this)
- Facebook - FCs unless you run a fake gps app first
This morning I had to power cycle it to get touchscreen back, but even so I feel no urge to reboot into WebOS.

Had a few SODth but saw a thread earlier today about installing an ap (softlocker) and its helped thus far.
No random reboots for me. Ive been running CM7 alpha2 since last Thurs
Everything except wifi is fairly reliable. I only have secured networks, so wifi constantly crashes for me. I'd wait for the next release if it was important to you.

As for me,
1. Market sometimes FC when installing (not a big deal)
2. Wifi drops occasionally and need manual reconnecting
3. Battery drain during sleep, at the rate of around 2 to 3% per hour
4. Scrolling a bit jerky for a dual core 1.5GHz device
5. Facebook FC without FakeGPS
Otherwise everything is working so far. But then I haven't tested everything.

I only got mine last night and got CM7 loaded within minutes of opening it. I had some problems with wireless until I switched mine to channel 6 from channel 11. It ran solid as a rock for a few hours until I shut it down for the night.
Renders all my various size and density photos (all JPG) quickly and very crisply.
Netflix ran good.
Youtube was okay.
My mp4s encoded for my Nook Color were all messed up (played but video was whacky, striped accross the screen, these play great on webOS)
Plays my MP3 without issue (need to move my album art over from my Nook Color)
Quadrant scores are pretty low (low 2000's) only due to the FPS graphics not being optimized (GPU acceleration probably is not finished.)

Browser is meh. But 3rd party Opera is fantastic. Nearly as smooth as safari on ipad.
Gmail is fantastic.
Google Docs is great.
Facebook sucks if you don't install a fakegps app or the older 1.5.2 apk that didn't need GPS.
Twitter's great..
Thats all I know. But I do know that the camera doesn't work (on EITHER of my CM Touchpads) and that each of mine have also had a random shutdown and refused to wake up (without me long pressing the power/home buttons repeatedly)... but that being said... very sweet stable for an Alpha. In fact, I think it's more stable than my phone, also on CM. And more importantly, it's better than WebOS if only for the app selection.
Compared to web os its 100% better some bugs but I haven't booted into web os since the first alpha.

have SOD's despite the fact that i've tried every work around i could find... actually the last one was probably due to the fact that the work around drained the battery... between that and the wifi i've pretty much given up on it until a more stable for me release. it is in very good shape though. i liked having a netflix tablet for a bit. wish HP had made it 16:9 but oh well.
anyway since you can dual boot i really dont' see any reason for people not to put it on there. Pulse newsreader is so damn cool on a tablet

oooo ill have to check it out. Thanks
Just installed yesterday and very impressed for an alpha build. Only get FCs for market and Facebook but realised that i need the fake gps. Did have to reboot the first time as apps wouldn't install saying i had no space. On the whole i like it and especially adobe reader as its miles more quicker and better quality than the WebOS version. But i do miss the WebOS interface so i can see what apps i'm running and throwing the cards away to close the app.
I've tried everything : flashing Honeycomb, CM9, AOKP and now official 4.0.4. Never had timeline on my SGT 10.1
The facebook app looks like crap in my SGT 10.1 , I cannot use it in landscape mode because the photos in the news feed are half showed and of course no timeline.
on my SGS 2 the app is working fine : timeline, landscape and portrait are switching just fine. So please please how can I fix this?

Yes. Some idiot at Facebook decided to give the finger to Android tablet owners and remove the previous optimization. It's formatted for phones only now which it why it looks like garbage. Use the website. It works just fine.
No full screen photos in website mode, and also a little bit slow than the Facebook app. Those Facebook stupid people shouldn't breathe

If you use FB app in portrait mode it's a little better layout, but not much.
Friendcaster has an awesome UI and I like it, but it doesn't pick up all my friends' posts. Apparently if they have set their privacy settings to block 3rd party apps, Friendcaster can't recognize any of their posts.
I still go back to the browser version. I was using the regular FB page through the browser but it was SOOOOOO slow. The mobile page is much better. Maybe some day they will come out with a tablet app...
I just found FAST for Facebook. It's in Beta but impressive so far.

I've tried the 1.9.0 the 1.9.2 , today I've updated to the latest 1.9.8 Same old stupid interface.
Sadly I have minimal to zero knowledge about how to modify .apk`s but I think if we could somehow ``tell`` to the facebook app that is not running on a tablet but let's say on a galaxy nexus or s2, s3 (you name it) this should do the trick. So, how to mod facebook to ``think`` that is running on a phone not a tablet?
it is a TERRIBLE app
In my household there is a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and an ASUS Transformer Prime. The Facebook app looks just fine on the ASUS, as if it's been optimized, but I get the same result you do when using the Tab. It's REALLY frustrating, and will hopefully get resolved if enough of us pester the app maker. I've left an updated review for each iteration, and I see TONS of Tab owners complaining about the app in the reviews.
After a quick search I've found that if you change the build.prop to other tab ( or phone ) the facebook app might work. The problems are : I don't know how to that. Will this have an impact on the installed apps?.
Timelines seem to be working now. Fb must of changed the code on their end. Can only view in portrait mode really, its doesnt scale right in landscape. At least you can access peoples photos, about etc tabs now too.

Edit: and its gone back again. No more timelines.!
A friend of mine as an Allview Tab wich is half the price of the Galaxy Tab, has an HD resolution and guess what? Facebook app is working perfect, just like on my phone, so **** *** Samsung for doing some great devices but forgets some small things like this, wich is kind of sad.
I got a GT-P3100 (Samsung Tab II ) with CM10nightly and still face this problem ...
I when I have the time I will try to change the product Id of the tab to see if it works. Anyway F*** y** Samsung.

Folks,
Be sure to grab the new Chrome Beta in the play store that fixes many of the issues we've had with Chrome on the Nexus 10.
Don't expect UI or UX changes in this beta. This is the first build available now that the Chrome for Android team has most everything upstreamed to the open source Chromium project. This build should feel faster due to optimizations for touch and bug fixes. There's still quite a bit of work to improve fluidity of the UI as seen here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/i...r+Summary&x=mstone&y=releaseblock&cells=tiles
I suspect Chrome will improve a good deal faster than it has in the past now that it has been open sourced and the Chrome for Android team can focus on things other than upstreaming the project.

I installed it, but whenever I opened the settings it would crash (from a null pointer exception). OK, so it has some bugs still, that's to be expected. However, now when I open the settings for the stable chrome app, it crashes with the same problem. I sent crash reports to Google for both cases, but does anyone know if the two versions interfere with each other and if there might be something I have to delete from the drive to make it work? I'm rooted, so doing that should be pretty simple.
Edit: sorry, this was on my nexus 4. But if anyone has any ideas, that would be great.
Edit 2: nvm, looks like it was a ROM issue.
How does it compare to stock s3 browser? Only had 5 minutes with it and about to sleep so can't test it but noticed within seconds it's amillion times faster and smoother than the last stable chrome which is s brilliant sign. Would love chrome to be Good enough to be my default browser on the s3 (and ipad) again ASAP.

I'd say it loads/renders pages noticeably faster, but it seems a little choppier with scrolling - a worthwhile tradeoff imo.
Very, very fast.
But for me, the main issue now Is NO FULL SCREEN mode.
Come on Google.
Anyone using the new beta have it freeze up - requiring a reboot of your N10? Sadly, this happens to me 2-3 times per day, especially if I'm browsing Chrome while listening to music (Google or Pandora). I'm going to give it a try regardless, just curious as to what others are experiencing.
I loaded up theverge.com on the new Chrome Beta then on Ocean browser,
Ocean browser is still MUCH faster to load and scroll,
Chrome beta still redraws all graphics when scrolling like my old xoom, YUCK!
Some sites is still clunky, but others is not a problem.
Video review + benchmarks - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azNB4QKm8Ag&feature=youtu.be
Page load times are indeed faster but scrolling is much slower than building chromium yourself. My guess is there are a few things still disabled in the beta build that are enabled in the chromium source.

Chrome needs so much work to be competitive with other offerings its sad.
I ran the Chrome beta a bit yesterday, but it only took about 25 minutes for it to freeze up and force me to reboot my Nexus 10. I don't know how prevalent this is with the beta, but it appears to still be an issue. I've gone back to using AOSP browser.
