Just in case anyone hasn't seen this yet
http://rootzwiki.com/_/articles/download-android-market-update-3311-r94
That's where I read about it.(someone mentioned it in another thread also...sorry can't remember your name...ill edit if u reply )
Here is a direct download link also found at bottom of the rootzwiki article http://lts.cr/BDW_
I just installed it and so far it looks great. They have finally brought back the "top NEW free" and "top NEW paid" sections for those that.miss that. I know I did.
some new settings options and nice UI tweaks.
I haven't made any purchase/download yet though. Will updated this post when I do.
Hopefully google got it right this time
If you do this I would recommend making a copy of your current vending.apk in case you want to go back. I just used root explorer and copied the apk to my sdcard and installed the new market after that as normal.
Have fun
::::::UPDATE::::::
For all those who are cautious
I have successfully bought apps, updated apps, downloaded new apps, and also downloaded apps I had previously bought but hadn't had installed.
Also when you look at an app it shows you how many of each different star ratings it has.
I.e.-- 5stars:20 users
4stars:60 users
3stars:30 users
Etc..
Working smoothly all around. Much better than 3.1.5 or 3.1.3 imho
thanks man, will be uploading now!!!
I'm loving the new market. It's very polished now. The icons are now sized properly on the screen.
thx im loving the auto update
I upgraded last night and am still running into compatibility issues with certain apps ... ended up going back to trusty 2.3.6.
Is there anyone running build.prop edits (in particular, enhanced screen resolution) who has been able to get this version of the market working without any restrictions?

Yeah finally there is no lag when switching between the screens. But it's NOT faster than the old version. :/

I don't really mess wit build.prop other than vm heap, max window events, wifi scan interval.
and I have not once ever had a compatibility issue.
Did you send feedback about that to google?
They might have something you can do or may work on it for future market versions

Can someone point be in the right direction on how to get swype for the hd2 running android?
yes i would like to know too im not used to typing im used to swyping
http://www.mediafire.com/?my2apyivhuua7qy
there you go. I reuploaded it for you guys. Someone posted it earlier but I seem to have forgotten where
i believe shapewriter is still on market....use it... wonderful app for swype
looks like shapewriter was pulled from the market. The last available version was 3.0.9. It is available in the wild and the company that apparently owns the code isn't providing an alternative. In my opinion they are using the code in their paid non android keyboard apps.
Seems like swype is the next "display rotation" controversy. Companies are desperate to hold onto something to corner the market IMO. The swype beta also expired. I haven't found any available swype apps anywhere. I think there is one in the market but it's expensive. Preying on desperation. Guess we all have to pony up or buy a new phone.
Sorry to be negative, maybe it'll get better but be careful of copywrites guys. The software development world is looking for the next cornerstone after the hardware world has trickled us up to a point we don't need to buy a new phone every 3 months. They don't make cars like they used to do they?
**Edit** SlideIT is the app. Not sure of the price atm as I'm back in WinMo for a moment to upload these apks and I'll let you know which one is decent. But again, whichever it is, it may not last forever as the only one that was legally free with a lifetime ownership was shapewriter 3.0.9 but it may lose kernel support at anytime. Maybe android or some dev will create an alternative. I'm sure patents are all out there on this by now. Stupid but whatever.
I've tried numerous swype.apks for the past week or so and none is as responsive as the original. maybe its because android is still ran through the SD that swype (also ran from SD) is conflicting? but this is my opinion...
i've tried the swype apk from the EVO and DESIRE. desire link is dead but the EVO link is floating around somewhere still.. BUT, responsiveness is no where to be found. its slow.
I'm using the red themed version from this Droid Incredible thread and with the 7/23 zImage there is next to no lag. It works just about as well as it does in WinMo.

Tested both the above Swype and found Shapewriter 3.0.9. Both gave me Force Close errors and I had to switch to stock. Going to try the Droid keyboard now
**Edit (again)** Sorry, bad information. I was trying to use the apps by just dropping them in the AndroidApps folder. I uninstalled them and reinstalled using Astro and it looks like they all may be working. I'll have to do some testing to see what works the best. I apologize
Thanks for all the suggestions on this and posting a link to the Shapewriter 3.0.9 file looks like it may be a grey area in regards to copy-writes as I think you had to get it from the market while it was still hot which looks like it was brought down early June. O well.
This is probably a retarded question but how do you install the file once you've downloaded it to your SD card? Or do I need to download it from within Android to run it?
Nevermind, figured it out. Thanks anyway.
You can use Astro or Dropbox and just click the .apk file to open it. If the file you find is .apk.zip just remove the .zip. You may have enable Windows to show file extensions to do that.
Astro is in the Android Market
Dropbox is an app for your PC and an app for the phone so you can transfer files without rebooting into Windows everytime.

Yeah I noticed the mention of Astro and went and got it and figured it out. Thanks anyway for the information without even meaning to give it lol.
Anytime, I'm just killing time waiting to see if GPS is going to be compiled tonight. I should probably just get some sleep. So looks like the post xanderdad referenced is what I will stick with. It's the only thing out there that's available that's free and updated. It's working fine so far so unless there's something better, I'll stop bumping this thread constantly.
Thanks for bringing this topic up dbiggs and everyone that replied. Hope I was of any help. This app is a must without a physical keyboard IMO.
Any reviews or anyone try the driod red one? My Swype is almost unusable it's so slow to respond. But i don't think it's a swype option. Cause when i set the pattern unlock code on mine, i have to draw really slowly cause it lags behind as well. Unless i just had an old one

I am using the Green HTC one so looks like these 2 are decent options. The others worked fine too but I think I'm sticking to this one.
After the .apk is installed go to Menu > Settings > Language and Keyboard and Check the keyboard you want to have available. Then find an empty text box and long press till you see Input Method and then just select the keyboard you want.
Additionally, there are some settings within the Language and Keyboard you can tweak around to make it a little faster but it's pretty good stock. It takes a bit to load the first time and like anything, if you have a lot of apps running in the background, live wallpaper, old Android image and widgets while running on a Class 2 SD card it will probably be slow. Change as much of that as you can and it should get faster with newer Android builds and if\when NAND is in place to run off internal storage.
I've used swype for almost the entire time I was in windows and cannot even compare the speed to swype on this android. Swype on android right now is slow. This is using the EVO swype, and DROID swype (above post). Droid swype is much faster than the EVo, but still, will not compare to the swype from windows. I cannot even speed swype lol...
I'll wait patiently for faster builds in the future. For now, its back to the stock froyo keys.
And yes.. I've done almost ALL that is possible to speed my hd2oid up. Swype is still slow.
Ok, i got the droid keyboard with the 7/23 zimage, and holy smokes this is a godsend... it's basically identical to the winmo version. So glad it worked out good.
Not getting swype keyboard on darkstone's froyo .. I have zimage of 23rd as well
I Have enabled swype from the keyboard settings.

NEW version 1.60.36.8214
Hello,
i found this 2 apk for swype from evo4g xda forum
So i ask for your help on how to add the italian language to the modded version and how to install it since it's a zip file and the recovery tips didnt worked for me since when hd2 reboot, it obviously reboot into windows.
Can please someone post the "mic version" with italian language or all languages?
Thank you in advance
why dont yall just sign up for the beta, it takes like a day or two foor you to get an invite back, and you always get the most up to date version.
at least, thats what im doing.
Also, swype is working for me as fast as ever. i never have any lag in the trace line or the responsiveness. its probably because you guys are using old versions of swype.
You need to sign up for the beta and you will be able to get the most current version of swype.
I was going to upload the current version of swype that i have, but i could not find it in the tree anywhere. normally all applications install to /system/app but this was not the case for swype.
if anyone can find out where swype installs itself, please let me know and i will be more than happy to throw the current versios of swype up for download.
i just noticed that the "My Apps" button in the market now looks like a phone and says "sprint"
If i click on it it doesn't take me to my apps.
Anyone else having this problem?
That's normal for this build. If you click on your Menu, you'll find My Apps there.
Thanks you were right
Best ROM on XDA
+1
I'm really enjoying this ROM. The speed of the machine is phenomenal.
Love the Rom ad well but can't seem to get the market updated or to show all apps. Any thoughts?
I've tried market enabled to no avail.
Issue with ROM or with G-Tab?
I've noticed that if I let the g-tab go to sleep, I'm having to reboot it get it to wake up.
Is anyone else having this issue? I've had my tablet since x-mas, but have nto used it much. It sat in a desk drawer for about 2 months, and I'm just now getting into using it.

Yeah, again it's just the build. There are a ton of hacks that will get you more of the market, but I doubt you'll ever get "everything". Considering that the GTab wasn't blessed by Google, we're lucky to have the devs here to get the market at all.

Another issue with this ROM. Some have fixed it by going to Clemsyn's kernel, others to Pershoot's and still others by using CPU Master Free. Personally, I just set my tab's Screen Timeout to Never. What can I say...I like simple.

This may be a stupid question, so I am sorry if it is, but Calkulins v1.1 says it is "Based on rooted 2.2 / FRF91 - TnT 3991"...
so can you run it on the 1.1-3588 firmware, or will that brick?
Again, sorry for my ignorance...
Thanks!
ROM's and Firmware are the same thing. If you're asking whether you can use ClockworkMod or standard recovery, the answer is yes. Calkulin's ROM is a hybrid using the newer 3991 build for features but the older bootloader and recovery. It shouldn't cause you any trouble loading it over 3588.
Thanks! Sorry, I confused the firmware with bootloader, thanks for straightening that out!
No problem. Just want to make sure that I understand the question correctly. Happy modding!
All Done!
Woot!! I will say, I bought this on the woot! deal... and although I consider myself very computer savvy, I have never rooted/hijacked/whatever a device before...
Happily this was super easy! I wanted use the stock ROM for a bit to get familiar with it, but I just couldn't stand how slow/unresponsive/just crappy it was!!
So I jumped the gun and started in... luckily I did a lot of reading first!!
Loaded up Clockworkmod - and made a backup first!! lol
Used clockworkmod to install Calkulins ROM---OMG is it fast!!
The found that I was having the sleep-death issue... so I loaded up Clemsyns Kernel Too!!
Not a single hiccup! Even for a noob- this is super easy! Just follow all the great advice on the XDA forums (and don't skip steps!) and you can't screw it up.
Thanks to all the great people on here, for the hard work, and patience... I love seen good communities like this!
DeadEnd
Which version of Clemsyns is recommended?
Hi,
clakulins ROM is my prefered ROM so far
But, it needs some issues to be addressed to make it my daily driver.
1- sleep-to-death
I know we can use another kernel to fix this (so I keep this fix for later if everything else can work)
2- Settings/Family accounts/add member
This FC every single time. I definitly need this functionality. My Gtab being a family device....
3- Photos is horrible as previosuly pointed out in this thread. I want a centralized place for all my photos, or at least for local storage + picasa. With this gallery, we can only access picasa public albums. What about my own account !!!
4- Photos started to display pictures roatated one quarter to the left. It doesnt let me re-rotate them back to original. It does that for evey single picture, i cant fix this. Photos is now unusable
I tried a few Photos gallery apps from the market (6-7 so far). None of them works to my liking.
I just want somethings simple that get access to all my pics.
5- Cant play videos anymore. Not even the sample 'car' and 'king kong' that came with the Gtab.
If I can fix all of the above, calkulin will be my only and permanent ROM.
(ps items 4 and 5 were previously working ok in this ROM, this started yesterday)
Also, another things that is on my whish list:
- Have bluetooth HID
I have this blutooth keyboard collecting dust on the used parts shelve that I would like to use with the Gtab
thank you calkulin for all,
So, I decided to install clemsyn kernel to fix this sleep-death problem.
No problem installing, everything went well.
But now instead of comlaining that it cant play videos, it just FC on every videos I try to play.
I feel a complete reinstall will be necessary.
First off I want to say that MacRom is the most stable/speedy ROM I've used so far (thanks for all the hard work!).
Just a couple issues with the new MR8 update:
1. The new market seems to be really slow? (maybe just due to the older Eris' lack of speed?)
2. I don't know if this is a market related issue or not, but I can't install a couple apps I use. The market doesn't give me an option to even download them: Words with Friends and Google Books. I'm not sure if it's related to the new market or if the apps are somehow incompatible with the new MR8 update?
3. Is there a way to get rid of the blue line that appears whenever you tap the screen to make a selection? I've been searching but have yet to find a way. The line just kind of annoys me, personally.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I love this ROM! Thanks!
Dude the same thing has been happening the past two days for me on Deadly and Spicy ROMs. For instance I had not been able to get Titanium but I got my Pro key fine, and same thing with XDA, regular worked fine but couldn't download premium. I took a nap earlier and woke up and had premium I'm about to check Titanium so it may be a Market issue.
Sent from my Spicy Eris GB using XDA Premium App
Good to know. Hopefully it's just a market issue then, but still no luck for me...
same here
i too am wondering why i can't download certain apps from the market, like facebook for example. it's not already installed and i get no download button for that app in the market...but i get download button for most other apps.
also wondering about how to get rid of blue bar on menu selections.

I've seen the same issues with MR8 and MR9... I'm looking into the issue, but haven't found a work-around yet. I'm thinking it may possibly be a result of the build revision bump to 2.3.5 that might be throwing the market off (showing the phone as incompatible with your device), but it's only a theory, no fact to that yet...
Glad to know I'm not the only one as I have been having trouble downloading my premium apps too. I flashed 2.3.5 yesterday. I'm a noob so I was wondering what I Fk'd up... LOL!

Hi,
So I just recently got the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. I am familiar with Android and I know what I'm doing (or so I think lol) but some things just aren't working and I don't know if it's me or software limitation. Regardless I'm hoping someone can shedd some light on these...
1. The market is lacking a LOT of applications that are available on phones. Is that right? I thought it would just scale for the most part....I can't even find the official Facebook app on the market. Am I looking in the wrong place or something? Hulu? Netflix??
1a. Some applications that I sideload (mainly widgets) like typoclock or something of that sort....install, but when I go to add the widget it is not there, as if never installed. Even when I try to reinstall it, it says that it will replace the old one so i know for a fact that it installs, but the widgets aren't available, and they arent listed in the installed apps drawer either.
2. It seems kind of sluggish...and I really haven't installed much, even from a cold boot...it's kinda laggy, not as quick as I have seen on some review videos. Quadrant scores around 1400-1500. I Rooted it, installed the latest SunBurst ROM and overclocked to 1.4Ghz and it's still laggy often despite nearing 3000 on quadrant now.
3. So I couldn't get any Netflix apk to work on it stock, so once I rooted, installed Sunburst ROM it came installed with a Netflix app, but I don't think it's official since the icon is orange and has a little android on it. Needless to say THAT app doesn't work and CAN'T be installed (I figure it's cooked onto the ROM) regardless I found a Netflix apk that install and replaces it, and works...but after one day it reverts back to the old netflix and doesn't work. So pretty much everytime I want to use Netflix I have to reinstall and overwrite with the new Netflix apk I found...it's annoying. (and the search function doesn't work on that Netflix either)
I know it's a lot to rant about and a lot of issues, and I love the tab and honeycomb, but I can't believe these issues still persist. I hope someone can help me with one/all of these and I will be forever grateful.
Thanks, hope someone can help...
1a. Try a restart after you install a widget. It seems that if the widget is not made for HC, it doesn't appear before you restart.
i tried rebooting but that didn't help any unfortunately...
There's a netflix 1.3 APK somewhere that sideloads perfectly. I haven't tried it with Touchwiz yet - I haven't even touched Touchwiz.
Try stock ROM first. Your ROM might have broken something. I know Bonsai completely broke USB storage support as an example, and Starburst claims to be the "most complete and fastest Touchwiz experience" which means it's going to have missing and broken things. Any ROM dev making claims like that is compensating for something. The "hacked-icon" Netflix app is an obvious sign they went a LITTLE too far.
Netflix sideload works perfectly on my Tab. Unrooted. TouchWiz. Stock.
i tried netflix fix on starburst rom, it did work but reverted back to fcs after a reboot. i switched to bonsai 3, netflix seems to be working fine even after a reboot.
2. It seems kind of sluggish...
The default launcher is a bit sluggish, it is a honeycomb issue. For me I have seen after a "reboot", the tab does take a couple of minutes to "settle", then it is smooth for me, but if you have lot of widgets on your homescreens it will be sluggish, my experience in any case.
thanks to all you guys for all the replies.
As far as the Netflix, I know I do have the correct apk I think the issue is that it isn't playing nice with the one that is baked into the rom. I guess I will have to install another rom.
However I haven't heard anything on the apps, is that right? There's no Facebook? Anyoneelse having issues with Widgets not appearing?
For Facebook search for an app in the market called 'Friend Me'
Looks great and works great =)
for getting rid of sluggishness try this launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188701

@js931,I'll give that launcher a try and see how it goes.
I understand and feel for you on your problems. My 3rd (and final) Galaxy Tab is on the way to me from Amazon.com. I also have an Asus Transformer on the way as well and the device that gives me the least amount of problems is the device I plan to keep. I want to like the Tab but I don't have high hopes since I'm about to be on my 3rd device. The 2nd one worked perfectly after Touchwiz for a while - even fixed issues I was having such as the typing lag - but the issues I had with the first one (screen and/or Wifi doesn't respond after bringing the device out of sleep) resurfaced a few days ago. The 2nd Tab also had something loose on the inside as it produces a loud rattling noise whenever it vibrates. While that is easily cured by turning off the vibration, I paid $600 for this device and I expect it to be near-perfect. So any little issue I have with this 3rd Tab means it's going back for a refund and I'll keep the Transformer... assuming it behaves like it should, lol.
At any rate, good luck with your issues. The Tab is a beautiful device but seems to be problematic... at least that's my experience with it.
I bought the Sims 3 a long time ago for my daughter to play on my phone and I thought I'd load it up on the Touchpad for her, but it doesn't show up in a search in Android market, and doesn't show up in my app list as purchased. If I go to the market on my PC though, it's there and showing purchased. I try to send it to my TP as a HP GT-i9100 and it never sends it. My build.prop has been edited to a GT-i9100.
Thoughts on this issue?
There are threads on this topic already. The gist of it is you're going to need to sideload a backup from your phone. Changing your build.prop to a Nexus S will allow you to download it from the market, but once you launch it you'll still need to download the sum of the game from EA's servers, which won't be fooled.
You need to install the game on your phone, back up the apk and the downloaded data from the android system folder on the SD card, and then transfer them to your touchpad.

From what I understand, EA has not updated the game for ICS and I am personally not convinced it can be made to work until (if!) they update it.
I had my build.prop set to a T989 Samsung Galaxy S II and under this setting it did show up in CM7 but it is not showing up with the same build.prop settings in CM9 which is making me think the issue is not the device setting but the actual version of the OS. Comments in the reviews seem to confirm it does not work with ICS and EA has not gotten off their ass to update the game since September, which is BEFORE ICS was even released.
I suppose it might be possible to obtain the apk from some, ahem, unofficial source (and before anyone gets their panties in a bunch I paid for the app a while back it just won't show in the market anymore) and sideload it.
Even if you do that and manage to get it to load and then load the data from another device there is still the issue that the game is made for 16:9 aspect ratio and will not work properly on 4:3. The only way I know of to fix that is to get hacked files that force a 16:9 ratio (with a portion of the bottom of your screen unusable) and I don't believe there is an ICS version of those files, just Gingerbread.
TL;DR - I'm not convinced it can be made to work under ICS and to even attempt it is a huge pain in the ass.

It works fine on ICS. I have it running on alpha .6. The problem is the unsupported touchpad resolution of the TP messes up all the onscreen touch buttons. Maybe EA will update it in the future.

I wouldn't hold my breath. I don't think Android is much of a priority for EA right now.
I did a full wipe when updating to CM9 and reinstalled everything but haven't been able to reinstall Sims due to it as far as I can tell being blocked for ICS. Have you had luck getting it to show up in the market with a particular build.prop under CM9 or did you already have it installed from CM7?
I'm afraid the whole aspect ratio issue makes it not really playable though. I was using the hack posted here that forces 16:9 and it did work fine under that but those files were meant for CM7 and I have my doubts that they will work for CM9.
Anyway, it requires manually copying files, changing permissions and rebooting back and forth which is a pain in the butt. :-/
