My phone one morning all of a sudden had the new Market that could rent movies. Since then I've flashed CM7 with the 06/13 gapps and have the old Market again. I am wondering how to coax it to update again?
Since the new Market is for 2.2+ I'd like to get it on my gf's Froyo phone as well. A general solution is what I'm looking for I suppose.

Here is the new market apk.

Do not rent movies while rooted though, as you can pay for movies, but not watch them. This is because you can modify your framework to remove drm, and the content providers asked google to block root users from accessing movies.

After updating to JI6, I'm unable to download and install, sometimes even to find on the market, the Nytimes app.
Perhaps it's connected to my flashing the upgrade via Odin after my OTA attempt failed and I lost all my prior apps and data.
In all events, is there anything I can do to get it back?
Since I rooted my Droid Eris and installed a Froyo rom, I have been unable to find it on the market as well.
I found an older version of it and installed it, but it crashes every time I open it.
I wonder if the app doesn't work on froyo and that's why it's not on the market.
It was on the market as of last week, before I rooted the app and installed Froyo.
I hope someone else can find more information about this.

I have it on my phone running 2.2 - version 1.6.8
I have it too
On froyo 2.2
I've checked the market again (searching for nytimes) and it did not appear. I've installed a few other apps from the market with no problems.
I read that at least one other person was having problems searching for specific apps (although not the nytimes) in the market using the same rom that I'm using, Tazzfroyo I'm guessing that might be the problem for myself, and the same type of problem could be it for the OP as well.
I'll keep you updated.

a ROM does not effect how the market behaves. Google does.
You might be living in another place where the NYTimes app is not being released, for country reasons.
There are apps that others cant see but you can.
There's a app that lets you see all forgot name though

Try this as well as dl appbrain. Some rare occasions I cannot find an app so I browse though appbrain and it links me to the market download. I actually had to dl it with the xda tapatalk app and the sirius app.

Thank you for your suggestions and help.
After clearing the market cache and rebooting; and then installing appbrain [although it did appear in appbrain], The NYTIMES still did not appear in the market.
I then ran the Eris Market Fix (the newest version, v1.7) rebooted - which fixed my problem ! nytimes app finally appeared in the market. =)
I'm in the US so I don't know why the app wouldn't appear in my market before running the market fix...
I am trying to figure out the best way to transfer apps from my rooted Captivate to the Atrix. Titanium backup would be the natural choice, but it only works on a rooted phone which the Atrix isn't, at least for now. I could go to the android web page https://market.android.com/ and tell it to download each app separately. But I am wondering if there is a non rooted backup/restore app that will let me selectively backup/restore?? I say selectively because I do not want to restore those apps that require a rooted phone.
Then there is the question of the market place which saves your downloaded app list linked to your gmail account. I do not want market place to remember those apps I don't want on the Atrix. So the question is how do you instruct the market place to "forget" installed apps? The only way I know of would be to install ALL the apps via either a backup program or thru the web client, then de-install those from the phone I don't want which would then wipe them out from market place account so they will not keep re-appearing in my app list.
I should have my Atrix in my hands this Monday!
I would too like to know this. Thanks to anyone who knows the answer!
Try AppMonster.....there's a pro version as well
I would suggest App Brain personally...That's what I've been using during my time with my EVO.

Actually, AppBrain and all those "add-on Markets" won't work with the Atrix out of the box. AT&T disallowed sideloading and that counts apps like that.
On the plus side, the Atrix has already been rooted (read the first topic in the Dev section of the Atrix forum)...so it lets you do anything you want.
Check the Atrix dev sub forum - They have root!

GREAT
OK looks like we are going to have our Atrix rooted and Titanium backup working but there is still the problem of the market links. There is some reference to market links in Titanium backup but not sure if that works to enable updates and there's still the issue of un-installed not wanted apps getting unregistered with market place. I had lost some apps and reinstalled with Titanium backup and I am not sure if I regained the market links or not. I am certainly not complaining and expect to spend many hours setting up the phone...thats part of the fun. Until a solution appears the best way to handle this may be to install the apps separately from the market place or via the web. I will try other programs others have suggested and post a solution here if found.
You can still sideload via ADB - so if you have the APK file it is simple to side load many.
How do you extract your own apk's? Been wondering this for a while now

App brain only side loads? I though by synching my account, it would allow me to re download all applications from the market that is how it checks for upgrades anyway.
I use.app brain to actually check for updates to apparently o had installed through Titanium, apparently that do NOT have market links.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
MyAppList
The free program MyAppList will make a text file of all the apps installed on your phone. I am going to un-install any apps i do not want installed on the Atrix. Then print out MyAppList. Then go to the market place on my Captivate and goto "my apps" so that the market updates what I do and do not have on the phone. When the Atrix arrives, I will register with my same email. Then on the Atrix i will go to the market place so it will update the installed list. Then I will go market place on the PC and install all of my listed apps, checking off each one on MyAppList as I go. The advantages are I will be sure to get all the apps, there will be no question as to what is or is not installed, the Atrix will automatically install the apps and the apps will get updates thru the market. I have 397 apps installed on the phone, maybe 225 of them are 3rd party apps so it may take a couple of hours to download and install them all but since the Atrix runs so quickly it may go a lot faster.
My Captivate is maxed out. I have a lot of widgets running and am constantly running out of memory. And then there is the lag problem which gets worse when you are running out of memory. With 1 gig of ram there is plently of memory with room to spare. This is going to be a very welcomed upgrade.
I am wondering exactly when the phones will arrive at the AT&T store. Are there Sunday deliveries? Monday is Presidents Day. I am going to the store tomorrow (Sunday) to see if they arrived and see if they will give it to me.....
So i have been googling like a mad man and apparently can't find the apk to the new market with the Music tab and new features.
Is it still too new to have been uploaded yet?
Does anyone know where its available?

What's the build number
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I would appreciate an upload of the newest apk as well. Don't know the build number but I'm pretty sure the OP is looking for the apk with the new music section built in (as am I)! Google should be pushing it out to all phones automatically starting from a bit ago up until possibly a few days from now so some of us are antsy and don't like the wait
edit:
Sorry for the repeat I just noticed that the first poster already stated he wants the version with the music tab, my bad!
I don't think google pushed the market apk yet

I don't need it now (freezing the market updater with TiBu), but I will need it down the road whenever ICS comes out for this or other phones...

Well im running the new market. Updated itself. Im running a stock rom for now though. So could be that. Was 3.0.8 before and i reckon it is 3.11.1 (without looking)

i came here looking too. mine has not updated. on aura
i had it on stock, flashed to a number of custom roms, (cm7, alien and homebase) none of them had the newer one.
there isn't much of a difference despite the app font being smaller. few speed tweaks maybe?!?!

So a few moments ago I just got the new market update. In order to get the new market I had to do a few other steps. I don't know if it will work for you, but it seemed "timely".
I noticed that Google Music had an update so I tried to install it but I got some kind of error. I was running the last leaked version (4.0.1).
1. I opened Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Music and cleared out data and uninstalled it.
2. I then opened up the Market and installed the newest Google Music (4.0.9) and set that up.
3. I then re-opened the Market and noticed that some of my applications had broken market links. Some were reported as not being installed, yet they were.
4. I then re-opened Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Market and cleared out data then uninstalled updates.
5. I waited a few minutes then reopened the Market and accepted the TOS and there it was, the new Market (3.3.11) with the new Music tile and all.
Maybe this will work for others. Can't hurt to try.
I downloaded and installed 3.3.11 from a thread here in the "themes and apps" section a couple of weeks ago. Hardly new ... link

This worked for me. Thanks!

I've been on 3.3.11 since the day it was leaked. Last night it updated automatically to include the music tab after doing a search and purchasing an album.
Hi all,
Today I've installed ICS DOMINATION v4.0.1 and I must say I am very impressed with it and it runs very smooth, finally my Galaxy s2 looks more like a ICS phone.
The Issue is,
After I installed this Rom I couldn't find the Android Market, I was told to find Play Store after the previous Market recently got updated into Play Store.
I have found Play Store and I installed it, I accepted the terms and it's all good.
But when I tried to search for a App, it crashed and every time I try to open Play Store it crashes.
It's pretty frustrating and I hope you people can help me out here?
Kind regards.

Back to stock (or GB custom rom) & wait for official ICS if you really want to get rid of the problem.
When Google Market switched to Play Market or whatever the new name is, I found that where I had it on my home screen was broken and needed to pulled from the app drawer again. It even needed a reboot first.
Again, just now almost, I had a problem and resolved it the same way but this time it was more apparent because I had a broken icon on the home screen as well. Same thing; had to pull it from the app drawer.
Both times this happened while I was in the middle of updating apps.
There is this possibility, long shot as it may be...
This was discussed a while back but I don't think it was ever resolved: is it okay to update the netflix app on the nook tablet? The google play store keeps trying to give me an update, but I know that the netflix app on the NT is not the same as the standard netflix app available on the google store. I'm worried that I'll be trading the specialized NT for the stock one, which I don't wanna do.
Anyone updated? Have any thoughts to share?

I just installed CM7 and downloaded the most recent netflix app- works great.
Oh nvm I see what you're saying. I dont know if installing the google play version will replace your stock app, sorry.
The stock NT Netflix app is not the same one that is in the Goolge Play Store. It is optimzed for the NT hardware and has higher quality performance.
Yes, I know. Which is why I'm asking if I should update it. Because google play seems to think it needs to be updated, but I know that the Netflix app on the NT is not the same one you get in the play store. It's somewhat confusing and I'm hoping someone out there has some idea of how to proceed.
I am running Team-B CM7 and also running the Play store Netflix update 1.7.1
Everything running great here. If in doubt, backup the app with TiBu then go for it! I have had zero problems though.
When I had my tablet stock rooted with google play store it kept trying to update netflix, but never suceeded for long. I found the non Barnes and Noble Version looked worse then the B&N version. Not that it didn't run fine, it just didn't seem as smooth most of the time.

Ditto (both that I think the B&N version was better and that it CONSTANTLY thinks it needs to update). I update from the Google store and would like to go back to the B&N stock version. Anyone know where the stock version can be found?
---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------
Update: I just did a reboot and it seems like I am not back to the stock version. I say that because 1) the updated version allowed for volume to be changed via a slider bat in the upper right had corner while the stock version's volumne is changed with the buttons on the side and 2) I'd swear the video looks better (but it might just be this particular movie?) now that I seem to be running from the stock version.
I believe that applications that reside in /system/app cannot be updated and I think that's where Netflix resides. So possibly what happens when you try to update is that it is temporary and on next reboot it reverts back to the stock version since it is in /system/app?
Google Play, B&N App Store, and Amazon.com Android App Store will ping pong back and forth when they check installed apps and find one that they think you've gotten from them. Apparently they only check to see if the version number differs, not whether their posted version is more current. I've gotten to ensuring that I only download a given app from one source, and let that source keep it "current."
is there a download link for the b&n version anywhere? diddnt know there was a difference
