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.

I just updated my Streak to the 2.2 Froyo --- and when I tried to retrieve my recently purchased (for $29.99 )Slingplayer app from the Market, it was not there!
Would someone with a 2.2 Froyo check the Market, search for SLINGPLAYER and let me know if you see it there?
Much thanks!
slingplayer mobile €22,70
its there.
i had this too and found out that changing the language to english uk got me all the stuff i was missing. after you can switch back to the language you had before.

If you ever have problems finding items in the market -- if they are not available in your country, for example -- you can either use a VPN or the market enabler app.

Nothing works
Tried all these solutions slingplayer does not show up in market one my dell streak with froyo
ItSeems it is a protected app but I paid 30 bucks for it and want it back!

Have you tried looking on their website? They might have it there to download or a working link to the market?
Have you tried using erismarketfix from the market? worked for me, as I couldn't find my paid apps...
got froyo? Please do me favor!
Can you check the Market and see if Slingplayer is there for you?
It does not appear for me, despite the fact that when I had 1.6, I paid $29.99 for this app!!
Thanks!!
You need to go into the system and delete Dalvik Cache then market should be OK
I cleared Dalvik-cache but I am still missing many apps. Including slingplayer.
I am hesitant to try ErisMarketFix as it is made for the 2.1 Eris, can anyone confirm if it worked?
How did you clear the dalvik
Erismarketfix did not work
Erismarketfix did not restore slingplayer to my market.
Does anyone with 2.2 see slingplayer in the market? Anyone????
Sling is in the market just had a look the reason i ask how you cleared the cache is because when i updated apps were missing so i cleared dalvik using clockworkmod recovery and still apps missing so went into the system and manually deleted the dalvik and all aps are their now
I used Root Explorer, browsed to /data/dalvik-cache and deleted all the files in that folder. Then I restarted.
An other issue that may be related; I have rooted the phone but none of the terminal emulators I tried are requesting root permissions. Root explorer does, which is why I used it rather than command line.
Yes I can confirm that eris market fix is working on my 1.4.6 DjSteve rom (froyo 2.2)

I am now able to see Slingplayer and all protected apps in the Market on my Dell Streak with Android 2.2....
here's what i did:
1) edited build.prop
2) changed ro.build.fingerprint
3) changed to : ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.1-update1/ESE81/29593:user/release-keys
This tricks the market to think the phone is running 2.1 -- and the market works!!

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).
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?

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

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.

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.

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.

I played last night and everything worked great, even got push notifications for the first time. WWF definitely needs a paid version for android to get rid of those annoying adds.

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! : )
