I occasionally check the other tablet forums and came across this APK of the phone market update and many people seem to be using the new market update on their tablets. From what I can gather from the xoom and iconia users is that it simply gives you two markets in your app drawer but it does seem to work. Although the "my apps" section is a little small.
One user from the download website posted he did this on his tab 10.1 with no problems. I would try it out but I always wait for a more established android user to say if something works before I try it. Any tab owners try this out for themselves already? What are your thoughts?

From what I understand the updated market for phones was explicitly made to be more tablet friendly in order to merge them at a later date with ice cream sandwich. I guess eventually our market will be updated to a styling very similar to the phone market. I haven't tried it myself but I don't see anything wrong with trying, just uninstall if it doesn't work.

I accidentally installed the new market on my 10.1 (wasn't paying attention to the apk I was installing). It does give you two markets, but it really screws with things... I got a lot of force closes, and it seemed to jump between the two markets. I wouldn't really suggest it.

Thanks man. Your more daring than I am. So updated market for phones is a no go then.

I have been using the new Android market for a week now and it suddenly does not respond when I open it. I just see the screen greyed out and the spinny saying it's loading. The thing is that it never loads. Has anyone else had this issue? Any advice?

It happened to me and I uninstalled it and decided to wait until they secretly push it to our phones

I was having the same problems with the new market. Just uninstalled the updates. Too slow and too cluttered.

Agreed. It actually felt good to go back to the original... I think the update that got leaked was unfinished or not optimized for 3DEVO

Well for what ever reason unknown to me, it decided to work again on it's own.
I am glad to hear I wasn't alone.
Thanks

Same thing happened to me. It would take forever to load the first page, even over wifi. Uninstalled the updates, and it works great now. The new market is pretty, but I think the old one is more functional
Never had this problem.. hah.
I don't like the new market. I tried it for a week, but just got a new Evo 3D and won't install it on my new one unless we are forced to take it.

I likethe new market but damn is slow, some apps won't update or took forever when to the old one and it works great ill just wait for google to work out the bugs and push the update instead
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
New market seems smoother to me, but to each his own

Is there any possibility that we will have a 100% aosp rom for the photon even if it takes a while? And is the photon supported by the amazon app store? What is new about the ota I received today I didn't install it because I read people were having problems with it. What are some cool games I could play that take advantage of the tegra 2 chip
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
We'll get pure aosp eventually. Yes Amazon appstore its compatible. And most OTA errors are either user or hardware related.

1) AOSP should happen sooner or later. From what I hear CM7 is pretty close for the Atrix.
2) Not sure I understand the question about the Amazon app store. It works just like the regular market on the Photon.
3) The new OTA fixes the mute call problem and various other minor bug fixes.
4) Go get the Nvidia Tegra Zone app from the market. Has list of Tegra optimized games.
Ok good on everything you said I'm just not sure about taking the ota will it block me from being able to root
Edit....
When I try and login on the amazon app store it won't let me keeps giving me and error

Might have to uninstall and re-install the app. No reason why it should not be working. I have the update and everything works same as it did.
The OTA will remove root but you can root again afterwards.
So does anyone have the new Market

I have market version 3.1.5
this market version has been around a couple months.
Is this the market you are referring, or a newer one?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
When I booted the phone, it went to the old-style market. After a couple of hours, I went back in and it had changed to the current version.
It will always convert to the newer one unless you continually go back and swap it back. No use in fighting it, just get use to it.
3.1.5 here
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
The tmobile rep for my Target mobile kiosk (where I work) said the market looks different depending on the phone you have. I told him it always updates to the same one on all phones and he denied this... He said the green one is for some phones and the new dark one is for others. It pisses me off when ppl working in an area don't know what they're talking about -_____-

That's what I thought, but I have had my phone all day and using it extensively and it has still not changed.
i like the new market though! Very nice, simple, and fluid UI. Something I felt the Android was missing
New market 3.x sucks - it's buggy as hell.
Hopefully the downloads to /cache bug is less of an annoyance on our devices than the Infuse
Update;
woodrube has a great thread going with alot of great information on the apps. Check out his thread, link below

Just wanted to let you guys know that in the android market there are a few apps that are bring sold for 10¢ . I just picked up swift x keyboard.

Just an update guys android market just added beautiful Widgets to the 10¢ deal.

Those are the two apps I have purchased so far.
I would have too but I've had beautiful Widgets since the mytouch 3g
Sent from my T959 using xda premium
Not a big fan of beautiful widgets. But I did grab Reckless Racing HD for a dime. Theres the regular version and the HD and they arent labeled very welll. I had to go in description to see. The way for you to tell is to get the one that DOESN'T have the editor's choice label.
seems the 10 list changes daily, thats pretty awesome, some of these are pretty decent deals.
Anyone have anything good to throw out on airsync? is it only compatible if you use there doubletwist media player?
Just pucked up adw launcher
Sent from my T959 using xda premium
Just to let you know I have a thread going about these and am updating the OP with each day's list of apps. Some good deals but mostly seems like some heavy gaming apps with a few productive/utility types thrown in for good measure. there was one today that was 46mb download. That is massive.

No problem.
Btw N8ter said that the Market is acting wonky today and nothing is downloading or updating. Haven't tried anything today (nothing really looks good to me), but just an fyi
Can you guys see it on your market, it was released dec 15 and is supported by the photon but i cant find it, its 40% off right now so i wanted to get it
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Its not showing up for me on skinnyrev1 either.
Its showing for me on the stock rooted rom. What market version are you guys running. Maybe the app creators took it down temporarily so they can fix a few things since the entire comments are filled with idiots *****ing lol.

Has never appeared on market for me and im on stock rooted. Have latest version of market. Posted this on other forums too. I just gave up and got it elsewhere.
shows for me. stock rooted, with market updater frozen so im on the old version of market. GTA just got updated today also...
I just got GTA III 10-Year Anniversary but cannot use it until I get home. It wants another 432Gb of data over WiFi. Oh well............
I can see it in the market and already downloaded it. I've only played a few minutes of it but it works great so far. its on sale for $3 now. I know for a fact the photon is one of the few supported devices. If you can't see it on your phone's market then i suggest trying the android market website
Its up now and on sale till the 29th. I can see it on Market and Amazon. I'm on stock rooted latest OTA. It runs fine on the tegra 2. BTW, check out the disabled effects you can enable here:
