I found the APK for the new market app on Engadget. It looks so sexy on the streak.

Sweet, thanks! I thought it was A new market app, not THE new market app!
Looks very sweet. Gonna have to rent a movie just to see how they look...

Not sure why all of the enthusiasm for this.
The interface is cluttered and has changed the market app from one that provides a means to access useful extensions to your phone to a billboard for Google's offerings.
I tried it, uninstalled it and then froze the market updater so it won't DL to my phone automatically.
If your phone is rooted you can't view the movies, but instead of checking this in the market app and then disabling the rentals there Google allows you to rent a movie that the player then will not allow you to view.
There are no settings to turn off movie and book ares if you don't want them cluttering up the interface.
I agree....it is very cluttered. "My Apps" is now on the menu instead of in plain sight like previous versions.
What app did you use to freeze the market updater?
New market is too cluttered with nonsense.

I used Titanium Backup, but I am sure there are others that will work.
Nice one to the OP.
Im running it on a UK Streak and we dont have access to the Films and Books so its more app and game orientated. I really like it. It can be abit sluggish in the loading the apps but i like the layout.

For those who want to try this. I copied the apk linked to in the first post to my sd card and clicked on it in a file explorer to install it.
To uninstall I went into manage applications, tapped on the market line and then tapped on Uninstall updates. This reverted me to the base market that came with the phone. I let it update automatically to the version that was on my phone prior to testing the new one. You will want to make a backup of the version you have if you like it to make it easier to return to.
If you decide you do not want this version to be automatically installed by Google you can freeze the app called Market Updater.

I copied system\app\Vending.apk to my sdcard and simply installed the apk after I unzipped it with my computer first. Works as expected. I think the interface is great on our 5" screen.
Not sure about it on a regular phone... there is a lot of information there. It kind of looks like the WinPhone7 Metro UI to me.

Looking like windows - now I know why I didn't like it.
yea it may be cluttered but I love it. its pure eye candy. I used to go to the market just to update my apps but now when I open it I can't help staying on it for ages... its look made me clutter my phone with apps
Installed it - and it decided to carry out a lot of updates to existing apps automatically - then everything I opened would force close... uninstalling at the moment.... ;(

I'm running the CM7 nightly roms on my NC, and I've recently noticed a number of apps no longer listed as compatible from the market. Angry Birds for example, does not have the install button on the previous market, and on the new 3.1.X market actually has a message at the top of the window that says incompatible.
The web version of the market has my nook grayed out in the install window.
My build.prop is the stock CM7 one, no hacking.
What gives?
I had the same problem and believe the is some other posts for this.
My fix was:
1. diable wifi
2. uninstall the market update
3. backup and uninstall market updater with titanium backup
Sent from my NookColor
My fix is:
set resolution to 160dpi (using LCD Density app or hacking build.prop) and clear Market data
???
profit!!!
Many apps which I have downloaded from market before are saying that they are not available in my country. Whats the point excluding countries? Do the dev wanna make money or not?

I did this..I couldn't run Yahoo fantasy football app
1.disabled market update..use old store
2. Froze market update in titanium backup
3. cleared cache and data from store app and from Google services frameworks.
I can now download yahoo and other programs that would not even give me a download button...
I just installed cm7 7.0.0 stable along with the gapps and it came with the new market what would be the best way to allow me to download the tablet version of apps along with google maps/earth right now they say incompatible

Some countries do not have paid app support. Sometimes the dev just likes to keep stuff in the US to not have any problems with money conversions, import/export laws, etc.

Hi, I edited my build.prop manually and changed the fingerprint/description to match a Nexus S using:
ro.build.description=soju-user 2.3.4 GRJ22 121341 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/relelease-keys
rebooted, cleared cache, dalvik, in cwm and booted and everything shows up and works - facebook, netflix, etc...
I just #commented out what was there and added the lines below, saved, rebooted and viola!
Im on CM7 nightly 08312011 on my Nook Color, hope that helps!
PS. I havent messed with the market updater/etc.. Im using the 3.13(cant remember off hand) version of the market posted also, everything showed up before n after.

I've seen this solution a lot except the others didn't say clear market data. I just wanna emphasize that point. It makes the difference.

I also set dpi to 160. I didn't see any fixed app info until I took my Nook to a wifi network I've never used before and ran Google Market; it showed (for the first time after autoupdating to the newer GM a few weeks ago) the accept/deny conditions window. After clicking accept, GM started showing not only the usual apps, games, books sections but also movies. Half my apps which weren't showing updates before showed available updates. Google Market itself updated to the latest edition, still showing Movies.
I'm not sure if using the NC at a brand-new location did something to market data, but if the dpi fix isn't working I would recommend trying (the market data clear).

To get it to work you need to clear market data. That is the main part of the dpi fix not something new.

Well, point was I haven't actively cleared market data, but apps that were blocked before came back and movies are now active --- so does GM do a market data clear when joining a new network or was it something else?

The market auto-updates data. This is also why it breaks again after awhile.

Market seems to be fixed, most likely on Google's server end. A number of us have not needed to clear market data for several days now. I'm going on 4 days with fully functioning market at 160 and no data clearing. Joenathane is experiencing the same. It is possible that this is what angomy experienced albeit in an indirect fashion.
I did not notice till I flashed the newest gapps (0823), so can't say for sure why it is working. Would suggest those clearing market data before opening the app to stop doing so for a while and see if the apps list stays solid.
incompatibility in market
after trying everything, i also found that (atleast for me) if i cleared data for the market, that fixed it.
thanks,

Hello,
i installed the market form ICS (i know its not optimized for tablets).
And suddenly all apps were disappeared from the list, all i got only this: (see attachment)
When i delete the app and use the stock app, all apps appear in the list but the market itself doenst work. So I get only the "My Apps" List :/
So I tried the 3.1.5 Market, which is actually optimized for tablets - but still no apps :/
maybe clearing your Market cache will help?
Just tried, nope :/
I have the same problem on my evo. I use Old Market, and it works like a charm. But it isn't as streamlined as the new one.

Did you remove the My Apps (vendor.apk) and Market (finsky.apk) before adding the new vendor.apk?
I have the new 3.3.11 release from android police running without any issues.

So i have been googling like a mad man and apparently can't find the apk to the new market with the Music tab and new features.
Is it still too new to have been uploaded yet?
Does anyone know where its available?

What's the build number
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I would appreciate an upload of the newest apk as well. Don't know the build number but I'm pretty sure the OP is looking for the apk with the new music section built in (as am I)! Google should be pushing it out to all phones automatically starting from a bit ago up until possibly a few days from now so some of us are antsy and don't like the wait
edit:
Sorry for the repeat I just noticed that the first poster already stated he wants the version with the music tab, my bad!
I don't think google pushed the market apk yet

i came here looking too. mine has not updated. on aura
i had it on stock, flashed to a number of custom roms, (cm7, alien and homebase) none of them had the newer one.
there isn't much of a difference despite the app font being smaller. few speed tweaks maybe?!?!

So a few moments ago I just got the new market update. In order to get the new market I had to do a few other steps. I don't know if it will work for you, but it seemed "timely".
I noticed that Google Music had an update so I tried to install it but I got some kind of error. I was running the last leaked version (4.0.1).
1. I opened Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Music and cleared out data and uninstalled it.
2. I then opened up the Market and installed the newest Google Music (4.0.9) and set that up.
3. I then re-opened the Market and noticed that some of my applications had broken market links. Some were reported as not being installed, yet they were.
4. I then re-opened Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Market and cleared out data then uninstalled updates.
5. I waited a few minutes then reopened the Market and accepted the TOS and there it was, the new Market (3.3.11) with the new Music tile and all.
Maybe this will work for others. Can't hurt to try.
I downloaded and installed 3.3.11 from a thread here in the "themes and apps" section a couple of weeks ago. Hardly new ... link

Hi,
Since trying out all these new ROMs out there (hats off to their wonderful work), I've noticed that the att modded roms have a market feature that's been driving me batty. I'm not saying its the at&t roms, but I've just noticed this since I started these roms.
The"my app" section used to have a list of the installed apps, and below it was a list on the apps I've purchased, which is cool.
What I've noticed recently in the"my apps" section is a page with the installed apps, then if I swipe to the right, the page shows all the purchased apps, plus all the other apps I've installed since I've started using the market (ones I've stopped using out didn't like and uninstalled). Which I'd cluttered and annoying when reloading apps.
My question is, if it is the version of the market, can I load the Rogers version of the market, out if that isn't practical, can I devourer this list somehow?
Not a huge issue, but an annoyance.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for all the great info. I want aware that was a feature of the new play market.
It's very annoying.. Thanks for the advice of restoring from titanium. I should be able to pull a market apk out of an old ROM zip and install it.
Play needs filters!
Google needs to have a way to sort purchased apps from every other app I downloaded within the past 6 months, which is MANY. I have to scroll 3 pages then might see one purchased app, scroll two more pages to see another couple...

What that guy said.
I find it easier to manage my apps from a computer. I just log onto my google account and then send the apps to the device I want them on...
https://play.google.com/apps
market, website bug
Using PC was my bright idea, untill I figured out, that it only shows you about 10 pages of your apps, alphabeticaly, and there is no way to show next one, so my list ends on letter G.
Also using market on the device after choosing to install an app from the list, I am returned to the beginning of the [email protected]#! Major annoyance.
Also I have restored the device and then logged back in using same account, only to figure that it will not put all the apps back on...
So, if I could have a suggestion- could we have ability to have an app list to install in one click on a new device? Or at the least could we have our apps list with boxes for checkmarks, so we can check all of the nessesary apps and then install them?.... sigh
