Can't seem to install this. Anyone else got this to work?
Try to Uninstall the previous version with titanium backup
It works on Thunderbolt 2.2.1, stock.

I'll back it up with RootExplorer and try this out and see what happens. I'll let you guys know if it works on the N1....
Works on galaxy S2. Seems MUCH slower than the old market

Same. It works fine on N1, I did get an error at first but I got it working. Its slower then the regular market, but I like it overall.
The new market looks really good and works very smoothly for me.

Movie section of Market doesn't work with rooted devices
If your device is rooted, you won't have access to the Movies section.
Nice, Google, nice.

Working on rooted defy. Movie section is there. But not willing to 3.99 to test it. Someday. Running good though. Looks nice. Kinda reminds me of wm7

Working great on my N1... thanks for posting
I noticed that some apps vanish from My Apps in the new Market. I had about 4 apps to update in the old Market, two manual because of changed permissions. I left it as-is and installed the new Market. In the new Market, only the two apps without changed permissions appeared as updates in My Apps. The other two apps had vanished completely from the My Apps list. If I search for them manually they will still show up and I can update them though.
You may want to try clearing the data of the market app
Install the new market using the apk from android central.
I like a nice little improvement to the notification: it says "updating" instead of "installing" now
Yet, it is not performing fast enough... I feel laggy when using it. And the new UI looks like WP7 (though I personally like this new design )
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
so it's not just me thinking that it's really laggy ... maybe it's not the final version?
or maybe we now need a Dual-Core Phone to use the new Market
It runs fine for me on the N1 most of the time. The only lag I've noticed is when it's fetching the icons for the apps on the Staff Picks screen or similar. When the icons have been downloaded it runs smoothly. I like the Honeycomb/ICS-like design.
Downloaded Market from http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/07/12/download-the-new-android-market-v3-0-26-with-support-for-movies-and-books/ I am not sure when it will go live in my country so Downloaded from there..I love it but Kinda fell Lag.I think it is new so might take few days/weeks to fix it over it is SO COOL on SGS2 but I have a Problem I can't see Movies Option I think Movies option is not Available in my country yet
Yeah, movie section doesnt appear on my market using MIUI Rom.
Anybody else having issues with Facebook since switching markets? Logic says it can't effect of but since I updated the market, Facebook won't load. Happened immediately after installing the market.
don't be so quick to yell at google for blocking movies if you're rooted
it's pretty clear the movie studios wouldn't give them the licenses for the movies unless they blocked rooted devices
i mean, i'm not agreeing with the studios. cuz are they REALLY worried people are gonna ****ing steal ****ty low res videos off their cellphone? there's SO MANY other(better) ways to pirate these movies. but whatever

is there a way to trick the market to make it think my phone is a better phone? what i mean is, can i make the market think im running say, a droid x, or an incredible, since thats htc, so i can download apps i wouldnt normally be able to? i remember back when i couldnt see angry birds and it was the worst, it would be nice to be able to see every app, and try out the higher end ones that the developers leave us out of.
i seem to remember something with a build.prop file being changed but i can't find anything about it
Android app devs exclude lower end android phones because, they can't run their app at full potential and that would take away from the experience of using that app.
but with a rooted and oc'd phone i would think theres a way to do it, and run them fine

if you google [app name].apk you can find many apps.
It's not always about CPU speed or rooting, many of the limitations of this phone app-wise seem to come from the version of ARM processor it uses.
You can only push the poor eris to do so much.
As the above poster stated though, google the apps you're looking for. You'll find downloads pretty easy (aside from paid ones), but just because you find them doesn't mean the install will be successful or that it'll run properly/at all.
I would like to see if many of the apps would work though, there are some paid apps that I really could use.

Download Eris Market Fix in the Market and run the patch. After rebooting you should be able to search for any app.

that was the first thing i tried, and it has been working for most apps, but theres still a few paid apps i can't see ie:splashtop remote desktop, some of the paid keyboards, etc
any other ideas? i really dont want to pirate an app someone worked hard on
You need to also keep in mind that the X, Incred, Fascinate, ect. have a higher resolution. The Eris wont be able to run apps designed for them downloaded from the market simply because the resolution is different. You would have to upload the apk's to your computer and actually port them to the Eris.
as for the build.prop... you'd want to find the following line: "ro.build.fingerprint="
i've provided two (2) examples below... first being from an HTC Incredible running a 2.2 ROM... second being from a stock Eris (2.1 ROM).
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/231334:user/release-keys (Incredible)

Hey Everyone,
I haven't seen anything on the Epic forums about this yet... so here is my piece.
I got the Amazon app store the other day, and I'm pretty impressed. The most impressive feature, to me, isn't the free app a day... it is the fact that it remembers your purchases/downloads. I've wiped my phone yesterday to start from scratch, and as soon as I reinstalled the Amazon App Store, it asked me if I wanted to view my purchased apps. I clicked each one, they downloaded and installed.
The part I don't get, is why can't the Android Market do the same thing? You are required to put in a user/pass (just like amazon app store)... so what prevents them from at least remembering what apps you've downloaded and provide the links to re-download them? I've used Titanium Backup to back up and restore, but I'm not convinced that it doesn't create problems (phone runs much smoother and with less problems when I don't use Titanium Backup to restore).
I know this was long, and you've probably lost interest already... but if anyone has any info or knowledge on the subject, please chime in!
That is all.
Actually my nexus one does auto restore from android market, so it might be a feature in gingerbread.

Ok, maybe I need to clarify a bit...
I haven't "purchased" any apps from the Android Market or the Amazon App Store. I've downloaded numerous free apps.
I would imagine paid apps get re-linked... but what about the free apps you've purchased?
I've been playing around with ROMS... so after every wipe, I go in to the market... and nothing is there.
If this is a feature in Gingerbread, it will be awesome. I would never worry or hesitate to wipe my phone if I had an issue. It isn't downloading the apps that bother me, it's searching for each one individually.
For some reason the epic doesnt have the back up data thing that aosp phones do.
When you sign in, it automatically redownloads and installs everyapp you had installed.
Also, on market.android.com you can see everything youve downloaded and install it by hand.
I agree that its stupid the epic is missing that feature. My hero running cm6 has it

Wow, never knew about this. So if I wipe my phone, I can log into market.android.com and it will redownload all of my apps for me? As nice as it would be to have it all on the device, logging in to the website isn't bad at all!
A lot of the reviews of the Amazon Appstore never seem to mention what I personally think is a killer feature: sorting and filtering.
At any step of the way, you can choose to only view 3+/4+/5+ star apps, among other options. As soon as I heard about the new store, before it even came out, I had high hopes for sorting, knowing it's one of the great features of Amazon.com.
Google tends to shun sorting/filtering in favor of typed search queries. You can see this in the almost religious devotion to search in gmail, where sorting by anything but date is impossible without using a third party client--and this limitation is vehemently defended by Gmail supporters.
In this regard, I think Amazon will remain on top. I just don't see Google backpeddling on this philosophy, and the Android Market will remain dominated by algorithms and search queries.

A little off topic but Sense 2.0 ROMS do that also. I've been running Myn's and Mik's Desire Z ports on my Evo and whenever you log back in with your Gmail account all of your apps, paid and free, automatically start downloading to the phone. Pretty neat feature.
Yep, got a Wifi Xoom today, and sure enough about 90% of my installed apps came over...all of my purchased apps are available for redownload.
Same thing happened when I switched from HeroC to Epic.
This re-download was a new feature of 2.2, and you have to have 2.2 and be going to 2.2+ to restore.
I'm not sure if I'm late to the party or early, but I just got the new market on my totally stock, gingerbread g2, woot!

Funny, I just got the new market pushed to my phone today as well. Running a Desire Z on ATT with CM 7.1... Weird thing is, I have never gotten any market updates in the past...
my market updated after the first launch of the app when i flashed the rooted 2.3 release today.
Market now looks suspiciously similar to a windoz mobile layout ..
hmmmm
I'm honestly not a fan of the new Market. I find that the application is slow/heavy to use... The other one I good just blaze through this one seems like I have to wait.

Agreed. Plus on other devices like the Nook Color (Encore) it has caused all kinds of problem getting access to certain applications. Device restrictions based on requirements has really sucked.
It's just buggy. I updated an app this morning and it still says update, and sometimes the update button doesn't show up at all.
The updated market needs an update.

This one seems just as quick to me. The first boot takes a bit but its good after the first launch.
I didn't like the market the first time I got but now its grown on me. I thought it was so slow.
Now I cant live without it.
You'll all get use to it, don't worry.

I'm just using it cause I don't have a choice. My alternative at the moment is to push my app from the online store instead.
Hopefully there will be an other update shortly to address the latency issues and FC that are still quite frequent with it.
Got it pushed to me weeks ago. HATED it at first but have forced myself to like it since were not gonna have any choice but to use it. One thing that is a huge new improvement, is the "new" top free and paid. Cause as we all know the top lists never ever change and are always gonna have facebook google maps and gmail on top. With the "new" sections, you get to see popular apps that now don't have to have over 50000000 downloads to get some exposure

this looks just like the new market on the android phones. i dont really like how it looks..... i wish there was a way to hide the movies/books from the market because i doubt i will ever buy/rent a book or a movie from the app store. i noticed no difference in performance. im sticking with the old market for now, but thanks for the download

I tried out the new Market app but had to remove it. It caused Earth and Legend to crash on load and I read a report that it causes Dungeon Defenders to crash too. I'm guessing these apps may have some type of protection that calls the Market app?

I'm now running this new market on my a500. I must say that the old market feels cumbersome and clumsy.this is way more suited to hc and is feels streamlined...
I love it on my DInc2 it took a while to get used to but I can't stand the old market anymore.
I haven't run into any problems with crashing apps. Earth runs fine. I'm using honeyvillain's rom.
Does this improve any problems with the Honeycomb Market, like reviewing apps direct from the tablet?

Portrait mode is sweet although the market is really crying out for a customized view, wierdly though the old market is still available alongside the new market on my tab 10.1(overcome rom). Accessing app details is not very intuitive, clicking the icon for the selected app shows details but there is no visual prompt to suggest this(could be a BOB issue). No issues launching any apps so far.
What's the best way to install this? I would think to remove Vending.apk from system/apps, rename this file to vending.apk and put it into the apps folder...is that right?
Update: Nope, don't need to do all that. Just download and install
Update: I LIKE! Portrait mode, FINALLY able to click a screen shot for a larger image, everything flows very well, seems like this market version is even better suited for a tablet than a phone. Thumbs up!
Thanks for the download MJ-12!

eeh... i still prefer Swype... mostly cause it's free.
And i think the new name is just plain odd. Sounds like something Sony might have an issue with, honestly.
I don't like it either. I will always call it the market. No chance I'll ask somebody "Hey did you download that from Play?"
I've downloaded the apk for the update but it won't install, it just fails, have installed it on another device with no issues, any ideas?
just wait for it. mine just updated now.
Mine is not updated yet but don't like the name.
Makes no sense, still not as dumb as the NEW IPAD.
Having some issues with new Play with the new MIUI ICS build. Does not let load some apps that it did before. Probably an issue with MIUI but may be new market. Good deal on books and apps this week.
Can't install the apk, shows "application not installed."
I'm on NottachTrix v1.2.8, anyone can install the apk?
Mine updated yesterday afternoon. I ended up deleting all market updates to trouble shoot something, and then it only updated back to 3.4.4.
They may have pulled the update because it was removing the market link from people's home screen. I'm sure there are a handful of people looking through their apps for the market app, and ignoring the weird little google play icon.
i casually sleep walked through the "upgrade"
it's the exact same thing, just count how many times the work "play" occurs on the start page
Ya they do have a lot of good deals going on right now, but over all i think its is the exact same market with a crappy name and icon. Id say untill i see a major change it a dumb move. they are marketing the whole switch as a place to get movies books music and apps. but we have always been able to et that there lol
I don't like the new "Play" name and I don't like the new icon, but hey, Google didn't ask me.
Also supposed to be version 3.4.7 out there to fix the "Market" link in the upper right corner of the App drawer (it doesn't work on 3.4.6), but my Atrix hasn't received "the fix" yet.

I had to force the update to 3.4.7. What I did was I went into manage apps, clicked on Google Play Store, and uninstalled updates. It reverted me back to the old market. I then cleared data and loaded the market. After accepting the terms I exited the market and waited a couple of minutes and opened it again. It then updated me to the Google Play Store again, but this time it was version 3.4.7. If that doesn't work for you can grab the apk and install it manually. Here is the link:

Agreed. Android Market had widespread name recognition, and Google is throwing it away in favor of a name that makes it sound like a gaming site. I get that they want to consolidate everything into a one-stop-shopping site, but did they have to pull a New Coke to do it? They could've renamed it to something like "Google Market"; that would have kept the familiar "Market" name while widening its scope beyond Android. But then, that would have made too much frickin' sense.
I will say this Google is not one usually that makes a real dumb or big move like this with out haveing some other intent in the works. so maybe this move will seem more logical in the coming moths and they will have some big change or anouncement that involves google play
I do agree the name sound weird but I believe its a larger move to unify a number of services under one name. I have checked the chrome app sec but I'm pretty sure the chrome web store number of ply apps so you can view your content on your computer or your phone

Oh, no question, and I think it's a good idea. The problem I have is that it's a bad name. It's a name that makes you think of a place for games, not for downloading apps and media. "Google Market" would have accomplished this goal. "Google Play Store" makes it sound like the online equivalent of GameStop. Google rarely makes missteps, but when it does, it goes all in.
