Does anyone have an APK of the old Android Market (with the lime green theme) that doesn't have all the ads on the apps homescreen? I have Sprint (obviously) and I live in a desolate corner of Nevada that doesn't have Sprint service (I know that sounds stupid...long story)...so I am perpetually roaming here and my data speeds are virtually non-existant, so when I'm not connected to Wifi the market takes FOREVER to fricken load...Also is there a way to make sure it doesn't update itself?
EDIT: Before anyone replies with a smartass comment I realize "Lojak29" posted an APK of "The Old Android Market" but this is still the newer version and not the one I'm looking for...thank you.

If your Android market is slow on 3G or wifi download "Set DNS" from the market (free) and change the DNS to Google's. I would apply it to wifi and 3G under settings in the app.

I do use the "Masked Crusader" app that applies local Google DNS caching...I imagine thats the same thing right? And if so how does that make it quicker?

If you uninstall the market, it should revert to the version you want. Then to keep from updating, you must be rooted with Titanium Backup where you can freeze the app called Updater.

Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Market -> Uninstall
You have the latest version of the Market that you downloaded. If you uninstall that one you will have your old market back.

Hi, so I have Market Enabler installed and for some reason it doesn't seem to work on the new market. Also, cf3d's 'open market' seem to have no effect either.
Is something broken? Anyone knows of a market enabler that works with the new market? Thank you!
We need a market enabler that works with 3.0.27
It will be made, its just a matter of time. Im very interested in this too, I had to rollback to the old market because of this.

I'm very interested too!
I got it!
Download the attached file.
You will find Market 2.3.6 (april 2011) and follow the instructions file.
Now I return to this version of Market which is fully compatible with Market Enabler!
Tested in a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000.
Yes we know it works with the old market. What we need is a market enabler for the 3.0.27 version of the market.

You should be able to get free apps. Only problems with market enabler is actually buying apps. So, roll back and reupdate or something.

The app seems to be working, it gives green mark and everything,
But when I search for the blocked apps such as google maps and most other google's inc, it doesn't find (which it was found-able when the old market)
any sollution?
I also tried the Flamingo's advice, but also no changing the search results.

Did you clear all data / cache? for Market? then emulate on boot a new provider and reboot. I am using it ever since the new market was released and it works.

Did the same on a Optimus 2x and it didn't work.
I had to uninstall the market update and MarketAccess works as advertised.
Cheers!
This thread should probably be in the general section rather than under SGS II.
I am also using the old market but instead of using an APK I simply uninstalled the update for market from 'manage applications' to go to the old market. Also had to uninstall the market updater system app using Titanium otherwise it updates automatically. Very irritating.
+1 for a solution for the new market since I have to do this every time I change ROMs (which is often). However, the new market is ugly as anything. The waste of screen real estate is appalling!

I can't find Market Access on the market...
Maybe google removed it from the market...?
This is going to sound really stupid but the new market (the tiled, dark one) is so slow it's unusable, regardless of which rom I'm using. Things will load eventually but I'm talking 4 or 5 mins per page to load. This is on my normal Huawei router.
By chance I used a different brand of router (at home, same line, same connection speed, etc) yesterday and market loads normally without any slowdown. Back to my own router and it slows right down again.
So my question is, what has changed in the new market that makes my router unable to load it properly? The old market loaded at normal speed, as it should. I can't change routers as the one I was using was just for testing purposes.
Can anyone shed any light on this please?

Try checking for router firmware updates, then try resetting your router.

Thanks for the suggestions, I've checked and it's on the latest firmware. Have also reset the modem but nothing changed. It's a Huawei H520b. I tried a D-link router yesterday and it loaded the marked perfectly.
It sounds like the new market uses some sort of different security settings or something, that my router can't handle. I'm not very techy so wouldn't know which settings to even look at!
Go into settings find the market and select uninstall updates. This will take you bacl to the previous version.
Then grab a program like Titanium Backup Pro and freeze the market updater in the list of apps and then you can stay on the previous version as long as you want...

Thanks, sorry to be a pain but I can't find anywhere to uninstall updates. No option for that, only clear cache. You did mean settings > applications > manage applications > market, or am I in the wrong place?
Much appreciated.
Try Freeze "Android Market 1.0" by Titanium... It work for me
my problem with the new one is it doesnt download more then one app at a time, in reality its better bc they will download faster but i like seeing them all at once lol

I don't have an option to uninstall updates...strange. I should have mentioned I'm not using stock, and I think the new market was included as standard with the Home Base rom I'm using.
I'm going to try to install the old market from an .apk file, see if I can revert back, then uncheck the update function, as suggested.
No big deal, I was just hoping there might be a setting I could change somewhere so I could use the new market.
Thanks for all your suggestions guys
That's a shame because for some on other custom ROMs, they can still use this method.
Oh well for anyone else that's interested. Settings->manage applications->market->uninstall updates.
This is the screen that you should see then and hit uninstall updates in the top right hand corner...

you need to freeze "market updater" using Titanium backup (pro) or Antek App Manager (free).
Can't you just go to setting -> application -> manage applications -> market and uninstall updates from there?

On a related note, it does cause one to wonder why the new Market version sucks so bad. I experience tons of problems with it, while the old one runs well.
Is anyone at Google paying attention to real user experiences?

Probably not, since they didn't launch any update to fix the issues. Guess they only changed the layout and screwed everything else. Probably they think it's all about the eye-candy.

So i am wondering. Does changing the build.prop to another device allow us to view ALL apps on the market. Because ATT is still blocking a lot of them. Or if not how.? I know this is a fairly simple task.

Is Google Talk one of the blocked apps? I mean you cannot see it in the market.
I can't see Google Talk on my marketplace, either. More disconcerting for me, though, is anyone else unable to see more than 20 or so apps when doing a search? It's like my marketplace isn't loading the next set of apps when I scroll to the bottom of a list.

My understanding is the GoogleTalk.apk was replaced by the new GoogleVoice.apk and integrated into one app.
isnt there a few apps that emulate other carriers market so you can see all the apps. like market enabler or market access

No - it is simply not available on the market an it never has been. That's why you see apps like Talk 1.3 Installer.
Note that you can see ANYTHING available on the market using market.android.com from a PC.

+++New setting: Update over Wi-Fi only
+++New setting: Auto-add shortcuts (automatically adds homescreen shortcuts for new apps, ala Honeycomb)
+++Smaller font
+++New app drawer icon
+++Microphone (voice command) button in search menu

I had the same problem and it was messing up a lot. Go to settings > applications > market > uninstall updates on whichever one will let you. Then I cleared data/cache for both and restarted. Back to only 1 market now- the old one, but I'm fine with that until it updates on its own.
Just goto new Market Settings -> Applications -> Market
Uninstall Updates
Thats it !!
Now u will have only one old version of market..

I just installed.
Worked very well.
But i still have 2 markets.
I think there will always be 2 markets if you install this because it's the handset (phone) version and we have the tablet version, so there's no way android knows to replace one with the other, and you can't delete the market apk without root.
is really better the 3.3.11 is a lot faster, and what about having two markets? just add a icon for the newest and just use that

With the new update I no longer see what changes have been made to updated apps. It used to display the info in the update section but now there are no change notes.
