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.
I erased the damned thing because when I was updating through marketplace, it said to uninstall the pervious version and try again. I did not backup the original before uninstalling. Anyone got a copy of the .apk for Adobe Air 2.7.1.1999 (standard NT version)???? Please??!?!?

It looks to me that Adobe Air is a system file can't be uninstall, you did it thru root explorer? So you can't find the latest ver. from Android Market?
Just reinstall it from market?

TGRAVES!!! You freaking rock!!!! Epic save on that one. Yeah, I couldn't install the latest adobe air (3.1?) in the marketplace. Said it was incompatible. Downloaded a 2.7 apk but that didn't work either. The tablet wasn't acting up but I didn't like that it was uninstalled.
I uninstalled it with Titanium Backup. Now, I just need to get the license so I can block that OTA update of doom
THANKS AGAIN!!!!!

Backed up Adobe Air then uninstalled it with Titanium backup. Tried to install ver3 from market. Got error message; not compatible??
Had to go back to original version from backup.
I need the new version to run the NY Times crossword app.
Anyone having any luck getting the latest version of Adobe Air?
What/how did the original version get installed? Anybody know?
Thanks
here is my copy of the Adobe AIR backup from Titanium backup. It should work

My current custom ROM includes Youtube v4.0.5. Market shows "installed" and latest avaliabvle is v4.1.23. An update isn't offered. Next I convert it into user app in TiBu. I go to the Youtube entry in market again, re-install and presto I have the shiny new Youtube. I assume the reason an update wasnt offered initially was because the app was a system app. So this makes me wonder if there's any automated solution that scans through systems apps and checks if an updated version is avaliable? I'm aware of the risks involved and I keep backups.

just remove YouTube app via titanium backup and install YouTube app from playstore .........then u can update directly by playstore .....
HIT THANKS BUTTON IF I HAVE HELPED
Ok, it seems I missatributed the lack of updates. The reason is that the youtube apk included in my ROM is a custom themed one.
Tried to install Evernote, keeps erroring out "install failed", and thanks to Amazon, there's no other error.
Checking "storage" shows that there's more than 300MB available.
And this is Evernote from the Amazon Appstore. I can try install from Aptoide or 1Market but they seem to error out too.
-----
Never mind. Apparently I had a previous install that was borked from Aptoid or 1Market and it somehow blocked Amazon's download from installing, not sure how, but went into 1Market, was surprised to see Evernote listed there. Uninstalled it, reinstall, and voila, it worked!

Play store
Hello, I spent couple hrs last night trying to get the play store, I used Android cowboys way, the other way in this forum and yours. All not linked to a comp. Android cowboys with apks would show no connection after email log in, the other method in this forum worked briefly putting things in the priv-app., then went into a constant load white screen. Your method would not get past the email load page. Before each attempt I deleted the previous.. Feeling defeated I did a hard reset on the 4th gen Kindle.. Well, it reloaded with no es file manager, not your app but still had root, king user, and google play store, click the store and it works perfectly. Not sure what happen during the reset but thanks, the desired result was achieved.

What most likely happened was the /data/data information still existed when you removed the old ones. Mine are installed to system. So what a factory reset did was get rid of that previous /data stuff. Glad it got squared away

Was thinking the same, may be a option for people who have tinkered with this before finding your app. I was surprised to see the root survive a reset..

Yeah root is installed to system also. But some are using systemappmover to move the apks to system. Which will cause some problems if using my tool after that. Might need to figure out a way to detect and remove old ones. Not sure if I will be able to

I tried installing google apks before, some guide i followed. But didnt succeed so uninstalled. I even did a reset on it today and tried installing but same.
When doing adb install apk I get "Install_failed_older_sdk"
Good app, I have lots of gapps running now, sideload on some then they updated OK, but need google play services 7.3, I can get it to update so need to sideload it.

Does anyone have a gmail apk that will work with this. It keeps saying that google play services needs to be updated
Out of Space msg with Play Store update
I used this tool to install gapps. @bibikalka says here we can now update play store and services, but when i try to update play store I get message: "Out of Space - Google Play store couldn't be installed. Free up some space and try again."
I have 2+ Gb free space. I've heard of this happening and being unrelated to space, but can't track down the problem. Does your tool move or rename something that could cause this? Any ideas how to fix? thx
EDIT: OS 4.5.3
EDIT: So I brilliantly uninstalled playstore, then got the out of space message when i tried to reinstall (both older and new versions). So restored from TI backup and now playstore won't open at all, just crashes back to wherever i start it from.
EDIT3: ok, so I was in denial about space left in /system. :silly: Moved some stuff out and now store loads again, but still get "out of space" when i try to update.

Awesome!!! Looks like you are a great candidate for 4.5.4 !!! It's actually very simple to get to a good place with a modified 4.5.4, supersu.zip installable via TWRP, and JMZ tool. I was scared of the update and that setting up things again would be hard, but the bricking episode showed me how easy it is If you insist, you can reflash a modified 4.5.3, this way you'd go back to where you were. This is probably 30 min of your time, to do all of this.
All your stuff in /data will be kept. You'll want to go to /data/apps and remove those 2 dummy directories that JMZ tool puts there to block GAPPS updates. This way GAPPS could update, but start with the playstore first.
I did get a similar "out of space" message on 4.5.3 when I played with GAPPS a lot. It has something to do with odex files or perhaps some other stuff. Not a fun message to deal with.

lol . . . (You really are very funny!) Anyway, I was planning to update to 4.5.4 for the very reason of no-hassle Gapps. Then saw your post about current play services/store working--apparently with 4.5.3 since guy you replied to had that OS--and got sidetracked.

Thanks, that's the info I was asking for. After fair amount of messing with this, I'm back to the original problem with 4.5.3 and latest play services and store: Play store won't load; just get white screen and spinner. So now off to do 4.5.4 update!
New Here
Hi I'm new here. A few questions for you. Does this require root? My understanding is that the newest version can't be rooted. Is this true? Also will this allow me to install the google play store and run any app from the play store?
Thanks!
Problem with playstore
Hi, my playstore stopped working, I open it and it is in blank, so I tried to install it again, but it disappeared from my device. I have a Kindle Fire HD 6 with King root, could you help me with this? Thanks
