Once the old market is installed, and you run it does it autmatically update them to the new market again?
And also you should link to the original dev.

You can also stop the market updating itself by opening up terminal and typing:
su -
pm disable com.android.vending.updater
You will get a message to say its been disabled. I usually just use route explorer to move a copy of the old market (vending.apk) to system/apps and set permissions, run terminal with the above command and voila! Must say though, it will be nice to see how this installer works, especially if it cuts down on excess finger tapping..
I've never been able to use any of the new markets, its awful. Not sure if there's any weird issues with the internet around here but it was so hard to get anything installed. It could take 20 mins to install a single app, I could have configured my whole phone from scratch in that time!
Good work!

Haha yeah i know what you mean, i had a few problems with some of the new versions as well, just like that but with mine it would never actually install. It would finish the download then say it was corrupt and could not install. Or something along those lines. But the newest one seems to work for me now. The only reason i want an old market is for the old theme of it.
Cheers for the info tho, ill have a look, havent installed this yet, just finished putting Flame.E 0.2 on my mimmi.

But isn't ICS supposed to support all android devices, no matter what size shape or colour lol (correct me if im wrong about this). If that is true then it must be something else that is cause it to be slow? i mean that to me makes sense i dont know about anyone else.

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.

Actually can't because to the Nero system it thinks the new market is the only market so I didn't update it. Do I can't uninstall updates.
Nero beta 3 + oclf
You can uninstall updates of "market" app, but itll update it self again automatically with next start. Hopeless.. I guess google devs never thought that android users will prefer old look of their app.
Which version is considered old?
So which version is considered old and how can you find out what version someone is currently running?
On the link(s) provided earlier, there are several apk files that are simply labeled Vending.apk, so which one should you choose?

SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 Android

Hi all
Has anybody got this on their gt540 yet?
Ive been reading about spb shell for a while now but there still doesn't seem to be a release date set as its still in beta.
In the vid it says it doesn't work on all phone but has been tested on the samsung vibrant - check it out here
p.s I cant post links but heres the title for the youtube vid search
SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 for Android Beta Download
So far im having compatability problems, running on 2.3.3 rom but in another vid a guy has it running pretty smooth on the gt540.
Hi, yeah i tried to test it too when i had Froyo 2.2.1 running but with no luck , i just reveiced a pop up message saying that my phone is not compatible ... but i will try to test it again on CM7 v1.5 2.3.3, i will let you know how it goes.
Cheers!

Yes has sence , this phone is not that powerfull for support this launcher
i dont think it to do with how powerfull it is i think the developers have made for a few handsets from low spec to high spec ones to get an idea of what needs done to support all handsets.

I finally got this running after alot of playing and boy does it eat battery,
Only problem now is I still have to reactivate it again after opening certain apps like the browser.
By the time that they fully release this many other launchers would have caught up and the device not supported message would be cracked for most phones so they wont get the asking price they deserve lol

What i did was choose it as the default launcher then rebooted and reactived it again,
I cant upload the apk's as there just over 8mb but you can google for them, theres 2 versions i found (full version) and (cracked version)
The "device not supported" message will always appear so just click ok
maybe someone with more knoledge than me can tweek it to work better but for me but if you dont mind having to reactive it again after you use a system app like the browser it fine
hey its now available on the market, the full finished version not the beta
Its now called SPB shell 3D and is a bit expensive but im sure many of you can get it free from other sources

its not your signal, it wont even download for me over verizon mifi. the download just sits there with "downloading..." nogo.
I got my Evernote download to finish after several tries, and even downloaded a couple games. I'm not sure, but someone who hasn't updated yet should test their market right now. Could there just be an overload due to a bunch of people rushing to try the new market?

Just some clarification - I couldn't use the Sideloading Wonder Machine to install this as it is already installed on my phone, so to get it to install, just push it to the phone or put it on the SD Card (internal or external), and use a file explorer to install it. It will ask if you want to install over the existing app, and obviously you want to.
Works like a charm! And by charm, I mean slow as crap right now, but that's cool, it's not even supposed to be out yet.... Thanks Kenn!

(THEME) Themed Android Markets New Version 3.1.3

OK found these new themed Android Markets Version 3.1.3 (newest version)
Didn't make this but though I would post a link! Thanks to who ever did theme these! Well, enjoy!!
http://www.apktop.com/android-market-3-1-3-with-7-themes.html
Current Version:3.1.3
Requires a Rooted Device size:3.2MB V3.1.3 update: Adds +1 For Apps And Games, Pin Number For Purchases, And More! New Android Market / Adds +1 For Apps And Games. Pin Number For Purchases And More! should work for all devices. You do need to enable Unknown Sources in Settings-> Applications.)
There is a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app per missions (not developer customizable, unfortunately). There is also a brand-new Market icon to spruce things up. Oh, and did we mention you can now use a custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google
Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device?
If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have and really, it makes a lot of sense. You can get the new Market .apk here, root access is not required. but you will need Unknown Sources enabled in the Settings -> Applications menu to install it.
