Is it possible to reinstall Google Talk? I've tried moving it back to /system/app/ using Root Explorer but it doesn't seem to be working? :S

Are you saying you uninstalled it & then just moved a copy of the .apk to the system/app folder with root explorer?
If so, moving it to the folder after uninstall does not reinstall it. It must actually be reinstalled.
Haven't tried Talk specifically, but I've done it with VTL Launcher using SystemApp Remover. It has the capability of backing up system apps & uninstalling them. I then installed the newer version & had it convert it to a system app.

Yes that's exactly what I'm trying to do. Could you give me a hint on how to use SystemApp remover to reinstall my Talk.apk?

Question time!!! What ROM are you on? What caused you to uninstall Talk & how did you unistall? Did Talk ever work for you? Have you tried going to Settings, Applications, System Applications, Talk & selec Clear data?

It started working now. But I guess Google Talk Video Chat doesn't work? I'm on Vegan ROM atm.
Now time to try and install the new Android Market ! Can SystemApp Remover also help me with this?

If you have the new market app you should just be able to install but eventually Market should auto update for you. We have 4 gTab's in our house & mine took 2+ weeks from the time it was released to update, same for my wife's, but my son's & grand daughters have not updated yet. They don't use theirs as much as we do, so it may have soemthing to do with that.
BEWARE though, some VeGAN Ginger Edition users have reported the new Market force closing on them with no resolution yet. Seems to be sporatic...some it works for some it doesn't.

Here it is: http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/08/30/google-voice-widgets-leaked-for-android/ theres a video included as well.
I flashed the Smoked Widgets zip and now I'm stuck in a soft reboot loop. Sigh. Not a full reboot, just keeps going to black screen, no network connection, starting up again, scanning memory card, wash-rinse-repeat. Can't open any apps or do anything before it reboots itself again.
You have to do each .apk
Don't use the flashable .zip!
I've gotten Twitter, News & Weather, & Pandora widgets to work
Trying to get the CalendarProvider, FaceBook, & Engadget widgets working, but no luck so far. If anyone does get them to work, I would love to hear what you did
I was stuck at the reboot after installing the Smoked zip as well. Reflashed to stock and then since I was there, installed Vibrant8. adb installed Twitter.apk. adb installer failed for the the Facebook.apk so I did a adb push for both the Facebook.apk and GenieWidget.apk.
All 3 apps loaded fine but when I tried to reboot the phone froze as it was loading up. I don't know if it is one of the apk's (Facebook?) that was causing the issue or Vibrant8 but it would be interesting to see if anyone with a Vibrant on 2.1 got the Facebook one to work after a reboot.
I'm on 2.1, and currently working on getting FB to work. I'll post my results and method later today (might wind up being more like very early tomorrow haha)
No need for this anymore. Google Voice is now officially updated on the market with the widgets. Version 0.4.1.26
Does this mean we can use GV without using our carrier minutes?

I moved both apps to /system/app before pushing the modified apk's through adb and I had no problems.
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.

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).
Ever since I updated WWF after the TW update, I get an error connecting to the servers and can't play any games. I have tried a forced close and clearing cache. anyone else having problems with this? If so, does anyone have any solutions?

How did you guys get the version from the market to update the TW version? When i go out to the Market "Open" is the only option I get.
when you go into settings>applications what version do you have installed? I am running 3.61
Mine shows up as 3.59. Funny thing is that the Market version says 3.61 but "open" is the only option I get.

Try clearing the cache for your market and see if it will come up
Mine is version 3.59 as well.
Same issue when I go to the market.
I just emailed the dev.
When are these adds going to be dealt with?

Sweet, glad you got it working. Good idea on doing the web page market and forcing the upgrade. I'll keep that in mind in the future.
I have seen often programs not able to update properly when they are located /system/app. Since the it was part of the upgrade to TW, they have it located there.
The install from Market worked great for me as well.
Never knew you could do that.

TripleTapper, can you please explain more? Now do you "force install" from the market? It just tells me that my Nook Color is incompatible with the app, and the buttons are greyed out.
Thanks.
I just opened the Market using the browser on my PC. When I do that and search for Words for Friends I click on install. It then gives me an option to install onto my various Android devices by selecting it from a pull down. My Galaxy Tab comes up as Samsung GT-P7510.
Words has been working flawlessly now! : )

Thanks. Doesn't work on the Nook, unfortunately.
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.

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.

If anyone figures out how to root this PITA let me know please. My family is technologically challenged and I help them with their tech problems. This meep is something only an overprotective mother can see any good qualities in. You can't even look at it without it being logged and sent to the parent control panel, which has been bugged out and half working every time I try to use it. Anyway, I guess my point is that I want to root it and make a proper tablet out of it. Until then, I suppose I will try to convince my family to return the damn thing and get my little sister a Nexus 7 instead.
I found it out by accident. Just install super su and some app which relies on root, I installed titanium backup and it works.
I also installed nova launcher and its also working. For app market, you can try and install root explorer and change permissions.
This could work, but since this tablet is for my little daughter, I am not interested in using market on meep.
he guys, keep in mind, this tablet is for your kids. let them play on it, not you!

I might have to go through with the process later, it would seem that there is yet another problem (big freakin surprise there). I did a factory reset and i may have to log into my sister's google play account again, the only problem is the only way i know of to open google play is to use the parent control thing to do it, and that is not working. I'd call support and ask about it, but honestly i've read all over the internet that they will just put you on hold and hang up on you.
