I have the apk for the 3.4.4 market. I froze the market updater but when I install the Market apk within 5 minutes it updates to play. Is there a way to prevent the upgrade?
What's the big deal with preventing the update? Looks like exactly the same market with a name change to me. Just wondering what I'm missing and in no way trying to be a jerk.

You dont want to stop the update because if you do, you will not be able to get apps or update current apps with the old market.
Anything else that relies on the newer market will fail as well. I doubt you could stop it anyway..
Install an older version of the Market and use Titanium Backup to freeze the Market Updater...but there's no good reason to not update.
The new market is great! LOL, it is pretty much the same. The only difference if you have a tablet and that allowed you to purches music through the app. Again looks pretty much the same. New name

personally the name change is annoying as all hell, google quit trying to program your brand name in my brain, when i want to buy and app or something i want to go to the market or to the store, not go to the google and pick up a new app.
every-time i'm in a rush trying to pull something from the app market i can't find the bloody icon because i'm looking for the market or in the old location on my app drawer, minor change i know but i have caught myself cussing at google when i needed to re-d/l my gps app after it crashed during a trip i as on a few days ago.
any chance of renaming the new app back to market without root?
Just use a launcher and if already do, just change the name duh..lol that's what I did ....

I also would like to learn how to get around using Play. The new terms seem to allow Google to read my sms messages and record the message routing. I don't think my correspondents would appreciate having their thoughts being part of Google's repertoire.

What conspiracy theorist cooked that up?
The only way to get around using Google Play is to not use android. What you're asking is the equivalent of saying you want to use an iDevice without the app store.

Memory needs > any update
I have a very good reason for not wanting auto-upgrades. Radio Shack misled me about the HTC Wildfire S and now I've got jack for memory. I have four apps installed, use only the native message app, and I'm lucky to have 25mb free. Anything less than that and the phone works as well as the Pony Express does today.
FWIW, Tandybot told me I could always install apps on the SD card. In theory, yes, but so few app devs code apps to work in that manner. Lesson learned.
kite edit: SNIP! No need for that kind of attitude around here, I'm afraid.

I'm not certain how many on here have used the new market, but i find it HORRENDOUS!
I plan on moving an old version of Vending.apk to system/app to replace it.
My concern is the market will automatically update. Can anyone comment who has tried this already? Is there any way to avoid it updating, or can the ROM developers prevent this in their custom ROMs?
I really have no clue why developers are using it.... its just SO bad. This is the first time I have been disappointed with Googles direction with Android.
how did it automatically update?? OTA???

actually the MARKET does auto-update itself. how do i know? because i received the new market without any mods to the market the night people started to report the update. plus theres a 1st party apk called MARKET UPDATER.
100% sure this will work. go to SETTINGS/APPLICATIONS/make sure the filter is set to ALL and scroll down to MARKET... click it and hit UNINSTALL UPDATES. this method worked when i received the the SIMILAR tab update,but im not sure if itll completely remove the NEW revamped market.
HIT THANKS BUTTON PLZ =) no need to install an old vending.apk

Well, the Market DOES AUTO-Update, even if you Uninstall Updates.... that's the problem.
I suppose I will move an old Market and replace the current one in system/app... but I imagine that if I freeze (titanium backup) the Market Updater app that may lead to problems? I don't think that app can be removed and not cause FC's... I would love to know that is incorrect.
If that is the case, I imagine it would be easy to avoid the new market. Anyone else hate this new updated market and tried this yet?

i just tried the "uninstall updates" method and i will let you know how long it takes for my phone to update back to the new market
it does auto update and installs in data/app not system/app
Check the cache for the update apks. I all ready have two in my cache.
I thought I may get used to the UI.... I am not. Still FUGLY and not intuitive.
Has anyone tried
1. Uninstalling the update with data & wifi off
2. Using a shell and changing the permissions of the Market.apk to read only?
Anyone had success with this?
Uninstalling the update does nothing for me now.

Download the axura rom. Extract go to system apps then get the vending app and put it on ur current rom for some reason... Axura s market doesn't work like others it never updates.
I used it for 2 weeks and it never updated. Try that but save your current vending in case out doesn't work.
As for me my new market its working fine a few complaints but its alright for now...

can you just post the market.apk here? downloading an entire ROM just for one app sounds really unappetizing haha
outside of the above suggestion,I have personally tried every method you could possibly think of to permanently revert back to an old market, but this btch is quite relentless. I may create a Nandroid backup and uninstall the Market Updater....just to see what happens.
^ yeah, I have given up hope and now just hope Google can make another "improvement" to the market. It needs to change... I was LOVING the now older version with "Related" added, but the new UI and 15 minute policy just sucks (for me anyway).

use the default android browser and make sure you have it set to mobile. when you browse to http://m.getjar.com it will auto download the apk and you can install that way

I was able to get Tapatalk, although it gave me an error the first time I tried.
I was also having issues downloading at first using Dolphin browser, but using the stock browser it worked just fine. The first time I tried to DL an app, it said I needed GetJar and linked me to the file.
do you think you can use your PC browser and the quick download code and post it here? what device do you have it set to? I'm currently set on "Free Download".

they're different in the fact that they are currently updated very slowly... getjar just made it available to have developers push their updates... before, you had to know there was an update and redownload the app... i got my first push yesterday, so i see it's working
getjar makes money by sponsors... you'll see them throughout the site
Same problem as other, when i search/enter the code for the app (in my case it's Tweetcaster Pro, Tapatalk and Splashtop Remote Desktop) i get the "no compatible version for my device" text which is ridiculous because i have a Captivate and the Android Market shows those apps just fine. Any ideas? Can someone post the .apk i mean if they are free its not illegal right? And also if i get the .apk, will it update automatically when with the new push system from GetJar?

Thanks, it only worked for Splashtop, TweetCaster Pro and Tapatalk keep saying the device is not compatible i mean wtf!?!? I tried with GS II and Galaxy Nexus and both say not compatible. Anyone that has already downloaded Tapatalk from the GetJar app can tell me the device they are using and the name code so i can modify the Build.prop and download the app.
ro.product.model=GT-i9100
ro.product.brand=samsung
it has worked with everything in getjar... i have a crash here and there but they all have downloaded...
if you've changed this... reboot... it took awhile for google's android market to see the change... i probably restarted 3 times... even went into webos once and back to cm7...
the only thing i've had a problem with working at all (it did download) is Advanced Task Manager
i get:
Sorry! The application Advance Task Manager (process con.arron.taskManager) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
edit:
just tried another app... Aces Jewel Hunt downloaded and installed but closes right after the splash screen opens
Yhea i tried with that. i wasn't able to download the Splashtop before changing the build.prop and after changing that and rebooting i could. But i couldn't download the other two apps, i mean i even tried going on the browser to getjar.com and changed my device to the i9100 and even there i can't seem to get the code for the download because i get the same message that my device isn't compatible and im talking about the PC browser. Im gonna change again to the i9100 on the phone and wait a day or so and try again from the app, i don't understand why i have to do all this the app should be compatible.
Thanks again for the suggestions though
I have been using a clock program called wf & clock widget for a few months on my p500h and it has been running fine, no popups. Recently I decided to install tape a talk and I have been getting a lot of full screen popup ads. I uninstalled tape a talk but the popup ads persist when I check the weather with wf & clock widget. I have used some antiviral antimalware programs but it is unable to find anything.
I have a rooted phone with permissions programs and the sort. I just want to know how this weather program may have gotten infected from a dev point of view . As of this moment, I am unable to get rid of the problem.
Download from the market - airpush detector

I ran airpush detector and it did not find anything. Is it possible that tape a talk installed something into another application? I didn't think android apps could do that.
As long as you got the app from the android market then no. If you got it from a non sucure site then it is possible
Interesting, although I cannot believe it. Many people who have downloaded the tape a talk free version have had the same problem. I hope I do not need to reset my phone in order to change things back to normal.

Believe it. Android apps can be used to install apps that you know nothing about. Mai ly if your rooted or got the app from non approved sites. You should never install apps that you are not sure are clean like the ones from trusted markets or here.
And I just checked as u didn't think tapatalk offered a free version. And I couldn't find one. Where did you get it?

You could try an alternative like virtual recorder. It has in app ads only and quality is very good. You can get it on market.
If it does what you want you can delete tape a talk then.
Alternatively if your android is rooted you can use lbe privacy guard to deny it permissions such as net access so it might not get ads pushed to it then.

Not tapatalk, but 'tape a talk'. I only get apps from the official android market. Take a look at the feedback regarding the ad problem.
Normally I would not be asking about this kind of problem on this forum, and I thank everybody for the replies. I am mostly just curious about how this sort of problem can occur and how these apps can affect other apps, even ones that are apparently trusted and from trusted sources. You can never really trust a developer fully - I purchased the first Android phone available and have seen countless developers screw over their app users. It's really too bad since there are so many good developers out there too and it's hard to tell the difference.

The tapatalk forum app, as opposed to tape a talk recorder, although commercial can be legally used free from getjar.com.

Anyone know if the Devs are working to get the new play.google app to our phones with or without custom roms?
Out phones are listed are supported however no update to my market app yet.
**Grip**
WTH would google switch to play.google.com and not stick with something a little less childish for those that are actually trying to get android in to the mainstream business enviroment. Basically i have to tell people to allow play.google.com through firewalls now instead of market.android.com sounds funny to me.

That might be a difficult one to track down. Have you tried installing it from the web play store instead of from your device? Sometimes that works for some reason.

I've attached it to this post, not sure if its the latest version but its one I extracted from a phone running GB for my girlfriend after she had the same problem with it saying it wasn't compatible on her Nexus S with ICS.
Thank you
I recommend caution when installing these kind of apps from apks found on the web; there is always the chance that they have been modded to steal your banking info, so what I'd suggest for further updates is to try some kind of market enabler app rather than go online searching for it.
Don't say that i've already installed it you know when you download a app from the play store does it store it anywhere on your phone first
Hi guys, really appreciate the work you guys are doing, this is actually my first post, feel kinda bad that it's only because I want something. So apologies for that.
I currently have the RBS banking app installed on my Galaxy Nexus. However it has recently been updated to allow users to make cardless atm withdrawals. Probably because I have a rooted device google are not letting me update to that version.
I would be quite happy to make a donation if someone would post it for me, many thanks in advance.
