Im running 2.4.19 stock and the market app for the android market. If I upgrade to 2.4.65 will this kill the market..? Thanks and yes im a noob to this. Also this is for the archos 43.
Im not sure what your definition of "killing" is - but u wont loose the abilitly to install and run the market after the update at least.
I'm not sure if it's gone after the update. Maby u have to rerun arctools after installation and reinstall market but that should be all (could be casue the market + gapps are installed in /system/app wich is affected by the update propably)
just try it out and reinstall if needed
Going for it now.
it will be fine.

Just went to look for an app and my Market seems to have stopped working. The icon has changed and when I try to open it I get an error saying "The linked program is no longer installed on your phone".
I was using the 2.2 Market (from Modaco) and have just tried to install it again but upon trying I get an error saying "Application Not Installed".
The only thing I've done to the phone since last night when it was woking properly was try the BFS version of Flykernal-11c (I was running the non BFS version).
I also use AppBrain but I can't see how that would have broken it.
Maybe Google have somehow stopped 2.2 Market from running on run on 2.1 ROMs?
Anyway, does anyone how can I get the old Market back without restoring from a Nandroid back-up or flashing the ROM again? Is there a 2.1 Market apk available?
Thanks,
Lee

Yeah, I'll see if I can find an earlier version somewhere.
I can figure out most problems myself but I must admit, this one has me stumped!
Not having much luck so I'm restoring from Nandroid.
Hopefully there's only a few things I'll have to reinstall... but AppBrain will help there
I'll report back about the Market issue.
All working now. Only have 4 apps to re-install and 3 phone numbers to change. No biggie, but pity there wasn't an easier way to fix it.
so in the new web based android market it know I have a device with market running, but doesn't know what it is. I can edit the name but none of the other settings. I tried to load tv.com and it would not let me select it from the pull down of devices on my account. I assume this is because we had to do the workaround to get market on the Archos, but wasn't sure if there was anything to do for the new web market place?
I am running Stock Archos software if that makes a difference.
Some items are protected, some aren't. If an item is protected our devices will be greyed out in the drop down list because the firmware isn't on googles accepted list.
I might give this (more here) a whirl a little later on, see if I can get access to them, but I don't know how successful it will be.
(EDIT - the suggestions that I linked to above will need to be done in dev mode. More than likely within UrukDroid as you need to have root and read/write access to /system)
Yes, it's definitly the "protected"-problem
I tried to install "GUN BROS" but I couldn't so I started the market app on my A101IT and searched for it: no results. So I think this is a protected app/game.
I tried again with an app I know it's unprotected (because I installed it previously using the market app and removed it again) and it's working!
gun bros
Hello,
for finding gun bros again, u have to uninstall market update...
make this clear, in aplication mynager where u usually do the "market fix"
u can uninstall market. but not the whole market, if u got an update for the market u can uninstall and use the old version. depends on which version u installed. there are several ways and versions.
the market fix did not find gun bros any more, but the uninstall update did it for me. even after getting the update again, i can still find gun bros. dunno why.
i had the version with arctools 0.43 or 034. dont know there is a new one out. and i dont know what it downloads (package) so if u can klick on "uninstall update" where usually stands just "uninstall" then it might help u.
ps: gun bros got an update to 1.3.0 it FC . so no gun bros at the moment. installed or not....
i hope i could explain goog enough what i mean.
greets from germany.
how to gain access to the protected apps
if you want to download a protected app just first get an market place if you dont have one:
I recommend arc tools from apps lib here
then just very easily root your archos device using archangels method is the easiest way here
after you get root download market enabler for free from the market and use it to enable tmobile usa market place

Didn't work for me. Still missing apps like Tank Hero. Also, causing my settings to force close, so I can't clear my market apps cache.
Have you tested this on an Archos device? Is it working for you?
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.
so i got a SGT 10.1 not to long ago i updated and i updated it to 3.2, i notice alot of issues with the android market not downloading or staying stuck on installing, and it wont connect and will tell me to retry. its also version 1.0.28 so my question is what can i do to stop all these messages. hope someone helps, thanks...
I had the same problems as you. With it not installing, you have to go to my apps (after you click download) and under not installed you have to hit install again. For not downloading, I had to go into task manager and kill the market then re open it and re do the download process Kinda sucks but that's the market version for ya.
Or there is a simpler fix....root + galaxy task = no problems
I have an LG GT540 since September, but recently I tried to root it and had success
But now, when I'm trying to open Android Market it crash and i can't download any app from ther market
What I have to do to fix that?
Try replacing the current Google Play Store with the latest version!
You can Download from here!
I can´t install it... maybe it is because my android version is 2.1
Do you know any other way to fixa that problem?
Yes, Google Play requires Froyo 2.2 or higher. I'm not sure what the last version for 2.1 is, but you could try clearing Market data and possibly uninstalling updates. This should force it to download the latest version.
But I have already made a hard reset and the problem continues :S
Can you tell what version of market is installed on your device?
