Guys, i have a problem. Ever since update to newest version of Market i cant return to old 2.3.6 version any longer. Its very important because here we dont have paid apps so im using Market Enabler which only works on older version. Until now i have been using oldmarket app but it doesnt work any more. Tried this and this but still nothing. Tried to delete the Vending.apk and replace it with older but still nothing, it just says market isnt instaled on phone. How to get it back?? Thank you

Its a question of deleting Vending.apk and Market Updater .apk from System/APPs
Replace Vending .apk with an old version .
No more no less than that .
jje
Thats what i thought but after trying so many time it seems this is not the case. When I delete it and replace it with root explorer nothing happens after the reboot, still the new market.
Then you are doing something wrong .
Root Explorer not deleting the file vending apk ??
Old vending apk not old ??/
Market updater left on phone ??
Delete files first reboot phone no market now = confirms deleted .
jje
Everything is correct. With root explorer go to system/app and delate market updater and phonesky.apk (no more vending.apk, this is replacment), download old Vending.apk 2.3.6 and paste it in system/app Reboot, still the new market I think its the problem with this new market, i never had this problem before the update, could easly replaced it. Now, its not working anymore.

Tried that also, doesnt work. I was using it before v 1.1.6 but now when i use it, nothing happens. Tried the new version 1.2 but i cant even open that version, it says something about closing apps that block adds. Im not using addfree or anything like that. Im on Criskelo rom V32. There are more people that started to say that they cant download nothing or change market anymore. Market v 3.3.11
The new market (3.3.11) has a new name, Phonesky.apk. Maybe you can remove that, and then install old market again?

I'm running Project V(6-11-11) w/ Bali 1.6.5uv. I just got an email to update my swype. So I download swype installer, delete my version of swype using titanium backup, download new version, go to install and everthing is going great. Then it says "application not installed".
I've tried a couple of times always with the same results.
Anybody else having this problem or know what I'm doing wrong?.....thanks
Use root explorer to search for all swype related files, delete them. Then run new updater
Beware of angry gingerbread man
Do you know where the files that i should delete are located?

You should only have to delete Swype.apk in /system/app and libSwypeCore.so in /system/lib. Reboot and it should install then.
That worked jneal9, thanks. It was the libSwypeCore that was holding it up. TB deleted the apk.
Good job, as always for updates, make sure you go to the Root, as this has happened before, swype is better if not Awesome. Good new update.
It's funny because I installed it once but yesterday I installed the alien Rom because I couldn't install the Camera.apk file so I just started from scratch installing a Rom with the camera.apk already install........so I went to the market and see it's the new one, I hate it.......so I went to applications and deleted market/ the update market file too........then place older version of android market in system/app (r/w) using supermanager and also selected the permission button. Then clicked install. "application not installed"!!!!!! Really so then I was without a Market app so I had to reinstall the Alien Rom. Things are so complicated with this device the Evo you could just replace the apk you're good to go. Deoxed
update: I got it. talk about head------ache. all I did was deleted the market app and replace with the "right" old market.apk file. then i had to delete the updater market.apk file because it kept updating the market app. so I did that and got a error type message which closed the market app down. so Then i went installed the update market.apk file again which didn't install so I said screw this deleted the update market.apk file went back to market app and it works now.... so I dunno
update2: I knew it was too good to be true. Yeah the market.apk installed right but it doesn't download apps. I also tried different market.apk version, then it force close again. Screw this i'm just going to find another Rom that hopefully let's you simply install a APK file. after googling, all this stuff about use ADB/android SDK to install a simple apk app this isn't for me. *sad face So yeah I'll just settle with the new android market forget customizing my phone yep.......

just "push" it to system/app? I heard that term before but not really sure what you mean unless just drop the market.apk file off in system/app without installing it. Well right now I have the new android market installed with the update.apk file.
Push/Copy. Same thing really, you should just be able to delete out the app and copy the old market into /system/app. Might not hurt to delete the market in the davlik cache as well.

10 posts? umm yea lol. well what I did was went to supermanager(explorer) then went to the old market.apk that's on my sd card click installed ----> "application not installed" maybe I have to install directely on the phone? Ok let's try that--------> "application not install" like does the photon require a "special" type of apk app that only works on the Photon. gosh. Like does your rom have to be doexed or something?
I'm running Alien1 rom......but can someone help because now I'm without android mark
update: wait I think I'm getting somewhere. I deleted the market.apk app then paste the "older" version. then hit run and boom the newer version installed. hmmmmm must not have the right "old" version.
Not exactly sure what my post count has to do with anything. However I'm glad you figured it out. Just an FYI though, when you update an app that comes preloaded on a rom it won't replace that app instead it'll append a "1" onto the new filename and use that instead hence why you needed to delete the updated file before it would recognize the old market that you pushed into the /system/app folder.

10 posts or not, he seems to know more than you about this, and he is right.You take the apk file and move it to system/app in your phone memory. You can do this with adb push, or use root explorer to put it there. Don't assume that because someone has a low post count they don't know what they are talking about.
You can also uninstall updates from the application manager. It'll re-update to the latest release, though.

I already knew this. That's why i went ahead and replace the files. My problem was why isn't the app working correctly. That seems to be a buggy phone issue because the apk file is in system/app
you can always uninstall the market update then use titanium backup to freeze market updater. When I did it on my Photon I installed the older version of Market (2.2something...) and then used terminal to run about 3 commands that disabled market updater. cant for the life of me find the instructions I followed, but then perhaps my post count isnt high enough for the OP either. Because you know in order to know ANYTHING you have to have a high post count.

I have a big problem now.
my android market gets stuck at "downloading" and i cant download any apps.
i google about this and it seems that a factory reset is required.
i was reluctant to do a full reset,
so i download the latest market from this forum, version 3.3.11 something.
after install, problem still persist, cant download apps.
so i use rom toolbox, deleted the market system app,
and reinstall the new app market.
now worst, market always force close.
fine, so i do a factory reset. wipe everything.
but after reboot, market app is not there.
what can i do to get back the market app?
Go download n try again ...or use root explore system/app n place the market app there ....hope it helps

thanks, strangely the market app is now a system app just by putting the apk in that folder.
when pressing edit, theres no minus sign at the top right, meaning i cant delete it, it became a system app..

Whether or not you're rooted, you can grab the new updated Market .apk file from anybody who has posted.
Simple command through adb: adb install -r c:\downloads\Market.apk .
This should move the apk file into /data/app, which should not require root access and will load the updated version of the Market.
This method is used for most of Google products which come on the device in /system/app, but later an updated apk is released. The internal android package manager knows to grab the most recent version and to check both /data/app and /system/app in order to determine the most recent version.
Hope that helps!
My girlfriend's Evo 3D is in the same boat, still on the old market, so she doesn't have access to the books, music, or movies. She's a bit leary of me downloading an app from a forum (I know, really no harm), is there a way to force the update from within the market itself? If not, any reliable download links?
Edit: Actually, I'm curious. Does anyone that just has a stock Evo3D have the new market? Seems all the talk on the forums (after doing several searches) is about downloading the new market apk, not getting pushed an update.

I just bumped the new market for you. It's in the theme and apps section here on this forum. Check it out. Nd you don't have to be rooted just uninstall old market and install this one.
Or if your rooted and you are not near a computer just just root explorer ( or whatever else you use to access the root of your phone) and go to system/apps and search for vending apk delete that one and replace it with the one you just downloaded. Set permissions to
XX

Then you shld be good to go. If the new market doesn't show up just reboot your phone

To clarify, as I posted above, you don't have to remove the old market. System partition is locked for non root users. Only have to load the new market apk file into the /data/app directory.
The package manager is intelligent enough to check version numbers on both .apk files and determine which one is the newest version.
Also, as quoted in my previous post above, this is the same approach taken by any application shipped stock on a system that is later updated. The updated apk file is placed in /data/app and the original stock apk is left in /system/app as the /system partition is considered read only and should not be modified, by Android operating standards.

I'm on stock rooted ROM and the market update has not been pushed to me.
On my NS4G, the market update came along with Google Wallet and the Android 2.3.7 OTA.
Hope that extra information helps eliminate an extra step for those leary of modifying their system partition and provides more information to the internal workings of Android!
No duhh so you don't have to delete it. All this time

Delete market from System/Apps completely (you need root for this)
Download the Play Market
If problem occurs, then download gapps and reflash the gapps in CWM. I hope you know atleast this part

What About MarketUpdater.apk ?
Nope as you can see the size of Market Updater is only 12kb, The Market itself is atleast 4MB, if it's not there then that mean's its deleted. Just simply place the APK posted above in system/app and rename it as Vending.apk and restart the tablet. It should restore market.
the probelm solved when i updated to google play 3.5.15 today by put the vending file in to system/app
thanks so much
Glad to see you got it going
