It *should* be as simple as replacing the new Market .apk file with the older version. i believe it has something with *vending* in the name, but can't remember exactly at the moment.
Now the tricky issue here is the Market has a built in, imo *hidden*, auto update feature. Another words, google coded the market app to silently auto upgrade itself without prompting the user or asking the user for permission.
Even if you were to load the old version of the Market app, w/o modifying the actual Market .apk, I don't think there is anyway to guarantee google won't silently upgrade you.
hope that helps!
on a personal side note, my evo 3d is still on the old market app .. i've just been waiting for the silent upgrade ..
Thanks.I can just delete it when it happens but I can't find an old vending apk

I had some trouble reverting, but was able to get it to work on my Droid Charge with Gummy 1.85, so this may not apply to you.
You will need:
-com.android.vending_2.2.6.apk (can't remember where I got it, sorry)
-Anroid Injector (Windows App)
-Computer with data cable
1. With Root Explorer, delete /data/data/com.android.vending-1.apk (or similar)
2. Plug in USB cable, make sure USB storage is not on
3. Open Android Injector
4. Select com.android.vending_2.2.6.apk
5. Open Market, it will Force Close
6. Go to settings, applications, manage applications, all
7. Select com.android-vending (or similar)
8. Force Close, Clear Data
9. Restart Phone
10. Check to see if it works, it may crash a couple times, may need to restart again.
11. Freeze the god-awful Market Update with Bloat Freezer (or similar)
good luck, I got it work, but had no success with 2.3.6
Also, an APK installer may work instead of Android Injector
What verision of the market were you trying to downgrade to??
Locked & Loaded

quick update as I am really tired and need to sleep.
I succeeded in getting 2.2.6 to work on the Droid Charge using Gummycharged 1.85.
However, on Gummy 1.91 it crashes every time I select an app within the market.
I will do a factory reset and try again. I tried 2.26, 32, and 36 without factory reset without luck. I hope I can get it working, I can't stand the new market. I'll post results. In any case, simply making sure you get the Froyo version of the market if you are on Froyo is important.
Another thing thats easy enough is use Titanium Backup to uninstall the market. Then use an APK installer to install. Then clear cache and it should work, but may require a restart or two.
If I can't get the old market working, I may revert to an older ROM or pursue a solution to kill the update notifications (Thanks Google, I'm so glad you keep telling me that I have 80 updates. Great. Thanks. )

*** Archos Devices Only ***
This includes only the Market, Calendar, Talk, GenieWidget and "required gSync" files. Any apps that are in the Froyo Market are NOT included. Honestly, this is better as it makes a smaller appInstaller package and its more compatible.
You can download the following from the Market -- Gmail, VoiceSearch, YouTube and Maps(Navigation)
SUMMARY
v5-Stable -- (recommended!)
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
WARNING: If you've installed this or other gApps installers, you may have to RESET to successfully install gAppInstaller.
Note: You may get an error when you first open the Market, ignore the error. It may also take a few minutes before the Market updates from 2.09 to the current version.
Download - http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/downloads/list
Copy download to your device via USB (if you didnt download directly using your Archos)
Use 'Files' app to locate gAppsInstaller, then execute/install it
Choose install core apps or choose to install your own packaged 'apps.zip' file located on the internal drive (not sdcard). There maybe a short delay after you tap an install button (its installing and you'll be notified when its done, about 5-10 seconds)
REBOOT!!
Sign into Market (Google Account Login)
Follow the Market FIX instructions below
MARKET FIX:
This will get you most missing apps from the market, except some "protect market apps" like NYTimes.
Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Market (Clear Cache then 'Force Stop' -- DO NOT clear data)
Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Google Services Framework (Clear data then 'Force Stop')
REBOOT again
Market Fix video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-nySibzeA&feature=player_embedded#!
If you do this correctly you will find most missing apps like 'Copilot Live USA' in the Market. However, some apps require certain features (like a GPS or Cell chip) and will not show up in the Market. Basically, if you search for application "MyGPS" and "MyGPS" is coded to REQUIRE a GPS chip, then the Android market will NOT show this app in the Market for our Archos Device because is lacks a GPS chip.
MARKET LANGUAGE FIX (unverified):
Once you install the Market, it will probably be in English only. You may be able to fix this by putting your device into English via Settings menu, then put the device back into whatever other language you require.
RESET DEVICE:
Follow these instructions to reset your Archos Gen8: http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=42437&start=0

v5 released and appears stable. This is the last froyo version since the Market auto-updates and NetworkLocation works.
kenyu73 - Thanks for the update, could you possibly test a couple of apps for me before I wipe and load this up?
TweetDeck
Slingplayer
Moblox
Those have never worked correctly on your build and I use them pretty regularly. Thanks! Looking forward to results.

Both Tweetdeck and Moblox-Lite open without any FC's. I couldn't find Slingplayer in the market.
Awesome. I'll have to wipe and rebuild with this tomorrow then. Thanks!
any reason to re-install from v3?
I used your v3 (thank you very much!) - it worked well. I have Market + select Google apps on my A70.
I'm still missing some apps on Market that I'm unable to find no matter what, even after following "the procedure" - LauncherPro, AWDLauncher, etc. Frankly I can sideload most apps anyhow.
Is there any point/reason in installing v4? (I'm hoping for a "no")?
Kenyu you are the man!

There are some "protected" apps that we'll never see. However, I can find LauncherPro(free) as well as ADW.Launcher(by AnderWeb) just fine.
kenyu73, Thanks for your updates.
My A70 will arrive in tomorrow and look forward to implement your guide soon.
Please keep on fine-tuning it and share with us.
Bit the bullet and loaded up the new app installer. It works perfectly. No more force closes on tweetdeck or when logging into the xda app. Thanks for this.

Thanks for the feedback. I think the v4 is really the final stable version. I've been using it all day today and not one single Market FC and I can find all apps in the Market (except protected apps). I did have to do the Market fix though.
The next issue I'd like to fix is the Voice Search GUI issue. The GUI interface isn't as clean as my cell phone, but I'm not sure if that's even fixable. Even though we install Voice Search directly from the Market, it still just sucks!!
Just a short note:
If you have already rooted your device with z4root a reboot is never reasonable.
To avoid lossing the root (which can of cource be reinstalled using z4root again) you can use the App HotReboot. This app reboots the device but the "root" still exists!
BTW: Thanks for your work!!!!

Downloads Stuck
I followed all instructions. My downloads on the market get stuck at starting download. ANy ideas?
Archos 101
excellent - thankyou kenyu
one question from a newbi
when i follow the link - I see an apk and two zip files
how do i use the two zip files ? appsinstaller and apps
thanks Stephen
Just use the apk file.
The apps.zip is just the apks that you should download from market, and the zipped installer is the source codes. If you just want to install the installer, then only the apk should matter to you.

All the apps in the zip files should be down-loadable from the Market directly. That zip is only there for people who cant download some apps because of their country of origin (like Maps). Some may use it so they don't have to download those apps.
Best bet is to install the core apps via the installer, reboot then d/l that apps you want from the Market.

I'd reboot again. However, it could be your internet connection. My Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy S) doesn't that sometimes.
Did you install over an existing Market install or was this a fresh install? If it was a re-install, as my instructions said, best bet is to do a reset and start over.
i decided to load some apks in the .system folder to see if i could get it to load my own apks to save me less time.. and in the process using this gapps apk vs the one with the GUI glitch worked very well.. like how i can download my own youtube etc so i have the choice of which google apps i want
These are the only apks that can be pushed to the froyo/system/app folder. Archos put the apk reference aliases (prefixed with a 0) into the read-only '/system/app' knowing we'd manually add them to the read/write test folder. Anything else in the app folder is ignored.
If Archos didn't do this, I doubt we'd even have Market access until the devce was fully rooted.

I was doing an update from the app store, on of the downloads seemed like it was hung on the install. Rebooted the phone, when I went back in Super User, Titainum Backup, Android App Store, Amazon App Store, HTC Sense plus a ton of other apps are missing, Astro file manager was still working and it looks like they are still on the SD card, but not being read by the apps manager. I cannot download or install anything from the web. Any ideas.
You might have to factory reset that sucker

Well VZW is sending me a refurb phone tomorrow. Since they did not ask if I rooted (which I did), once they get my old will they check for root. The phone totally is F***ked only reboots while trying to install the OTA. Just a word caution. I hope I TBU re-installed and get all my apps back. :-(

Why didn't you hboot the unsigned ruu? Also, what radio were you on? What rom? Froyo or ginger? WE NEED DETAILS.
Ok. I bought this G Tab knowing that I would have to install ROMs, tweak .prop files, NVFlash, CWM, RootExplorer, etc. No problem there.
But now I have had it with this new Market. Many (if not most) applications are showing as incompatible with my tablet even though I already installed them. My beloved Word With Friends now requires an update, but I can not install it from the Market as the new Market believes the app is incompatible with my ROM. That is the last draw as I cannot play it anymore.
So does anybody have a market.zip that has Market 2.3.6 so I can go back to the old market? I have the .apk files but I think I need something that could install via CWM (BL 1.2) since all the apks do not work if you install them by themselves (they all FC). I would freeze market updater so it does not upgrade again to 3.x.
Thanks

Installed the GAPPS and it did not install the market. Tried uninstalling Market and Market updater first and still no go.
It looks like something is blocking the old market from being installed. I extracted it and installed it myself but it then FC everytime it started.
Very frustrating. This is the kind of crap that is going to kill android. It just looks like Google is purposedly trying to lock out aftermarket ROMs from accessing Market apps.
This happens to me frequently. The solution Ive found is to stop the market and clear data. After this is done, launch the market and youll no longer get the error. Sometimes Ill have to do this 3-4 times a day. Good luck.
Interestingly enough, I think I got a workaround. Through some investigation, I found out that the problem was that many apps were being filtered because of the screen resolution. So I started working with the density property in the build.prop to find out if there was a magic number that will make things work like they used to. It appears that I did find that number and it is 160.
So I updated the build.prop line with Root Explorer:
qemu.sf.lcd_density=160
After that I cleared the Market app data and the Google Services Framework data. Rebooted and everything that was previously installed seems to be recognized and the applications started updating again.
I have a terrible Market problem. My Vega loaded with HoneyIce 3.2.7 auto installs Google Play Store which is fine, but when I'm going to click accept on the Terms, it just force-closes. If I'm fast, i can click accept, but it force-closes after that top. When i install an older version of Android Market, it just auto updates and the problem is still the same :S Does anybody know how to fix this?
I'm having the same problem and i think alot of people will since google play just launched , i havent tryed it yet but i think it should work.
Do factory reset over cwm ,
then in terminal emulator:
su -
pm disable com.android.vending.updater
hope this helps , im gonna try this later myself.
It works, thnx You don't need to reset it...

I just assumed it would need reset because it reverts back to android market from google play. But oh well , glad it helped.
Okay, I got Google Play wokring. I don't know what i did, but it works...
Thanks for the fix!
Every time I tried to install/upgrade an app from Market it would say that this app can't be istalled on phone or usb storage. I even tried to install apk files thru manager and it didn't work anymore.
What I did was:
1. Freeze "Market updater" in Titanium Backup (pm disable does the same thing!)
2. Go in Settings-->Applications-->Manage applications-->All-->Google Shop and clear cache+data and then "Uninstall updates".
3. Restart tablet and Market should work once again!
Someone could also post a link to old version (last version before Market was transformed into Google Shop).
I had same force closes, all I did was force stop the app, then cleared its data and now it works fine?

So I jumped on the cyanogen colored band wagon. Don't' get me wrong, this is the ROM I've been waiting for. Only now I am having issues. Google Play (formerly Marketplace) force closes every time i start it up.
I've done the required, check to see that English (united states) is set. Even did a wipe dalvik from CWM. so far Play has not responded to my advances. I was wanting to get it back up and running cause with out it, I don't' have Gmail, Google Maps, and a few other apps I use.
My atrix timeline:
Bought the phone with Froyo on it, and used this guide to unlock and root. Then I installed Alien ROM 4 to my device to get me to Gingerbread (2.3.4.) I stuck with that build till last night when I flashed CM7.2 RC1 to my phone.
Nothing strange happened while I did this. Followed the guides to the Tee.
What I think may have happened, when I used TiBu to restore my apps, it may have borked Play/Market.
Also, not sure why some of the gapps didn't' come along. I did flash them, right after CM7, then rebooted. I got a screen/list of apps, but not sure what I did to prevent some of them from NOT loading.
I've even tried to flash the gapps from CWM again, in hopes that would fix things... Nope.
The answer is probably, "Do a fresh install of CM7.2," but I want a second opinion before I do this.
Forgot to mention I removed tenfars cwm and used the one in the tuts by the CM wiki
I had the same issue with the play store. The way I fixed it was I first uninstalled the play store. Then I got a copy of the old market. I then renamed it vending and placed the apk in the following directory using root explorer (need to make sure the root explorer is set to Mount R/O):
system>app
After that I changed the permissions for the market apk. I made sure read, write, and execute were all cheeked under owner and clicked ok. I then exited root explorer and rebooted the phone. Once the phone booted back up I had the old market again. Then I went back to the system>app directory and changed the permissions back to the default (probably don't have to do this, but did it just in case). After that I opened the market and agreed to the terms. I then exited the market and waited a few minutes and went back it. I was then automatically pushed the play store and had no more FCs.
Attached is the original market.
Permissions should be set to RW/R/R and none set to executable.

Happened with me to..all i didwas uninstall updates through the app settings. I think it has something to do with corrupted cache data. Before i got it fixed I'd clear cache from there to and it'd work for a little bit.

I've not had time to get back to this yet but may work on it tonight. Firstly I don't have root explorer on my phone, nor the experience to mess with setting permissions. Will a reinstall possibly fix my issue?
Is there any other way of going about fixing the issue using TiBu? Maybe uninstalling play and rerunning gapps?
