When market is updated itself to new version we have problems.
Mostly timeouts, lags, etc.
There is solution that can revert update.
In fact, market is 2 applications:
vending.apk
MarketUpdater.apk
To use "old" market you need only delete that 2 applications and install old market.
Deleting updater is necessary, because it will download new version right after you use old one 1st time.
To remove system apps you need root and application, ie "root app remover".
After you delete them just install old market (zip attached).
Unzip it on SD card and install via file manager or easy installer.

hi!
i used the astro file-manager to backup my download apps from the market. it puts them in a backup-folder of my sdcard (as .apk). so far, everything is fine.
now i'm wondering, if i test another android build, and therefor install my apps (the .apk files) manually from this backup folder (instead of loading them from the market), will i get notified when updates are available? you know, like when i would have downloaded it directly from the market.
thanks a lot for your help
In order to speed up the install of my preferred applications I created a zip file that installs them through Clockwork, and it workes except that the AppMarket does not see the apps and so it does not update them. I have bypassed this a little by using AppBrain, which does see the apps and allows me to update when necessary, but with AppMarkets new ability to update multiple apps I would like to utilize that. Any suggestions on how to have the zip file apps be recognized by AppMarket?
Running cm7. Had a bad glitch so I did factory reset. Now I can't really install the apps I already paid for like quickoffice. Market doesn't even give me the option to purchase or install it again. What now?
Probably an issue with the newer market. Search around the forums and you'll see several fixes for this (uninstall market updates, pixel density change, etc).
go to manage apps, and uninstall updates for the Market. If that works as it did for me with Nightly 166, I used ES File Explorer to rename MarketUpdater.APK file. I'm sure you'll find this suggestion somewhere else.

You can also uninstall the marker updater app and it will go away. No need to rename the apk file and leave it on your Nook.
My wife has a NC and likes it the way it is, i.e. BN store, but I would like to add an app that does not require root. I was thinking that I could use a clockwork recovery SD card with a zip of the app, just like we do with google apps.
Will this work?
How do I make a apk into a flashable zip?
The app is You Version Bible
Thanks
-EDIT-
So I have figured this out, it is possible to install apps (that do not require root) with out rooting anything. I would call it side loading via CWM sd card.
The key was to use the mount paths from ManualNooter (\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script)
0.1.) Get apks for you apps (either with titanium or copy from 'data/app')
0.2.) Get a apk for 'Nook Color App Manager' (search the android market, can't post links yet)
1.) Start with the ManualNooter file and remove all folders but 'data' and 'META-INF'
2.) Delete all files in the 'data/app' folder
3.) Place the apks you want to install in the 'data/app' folder
4.) Edit '\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script' using a programing text editor (otherwise you will not see the line spaces) remove all sections except the following: 'Mounting partitions...' 'Installing apks to /data/app...' 'Unmounting Partitions...'
5.) Save the script file and put all this back together in the zip.
6.) Use the CWM sd card to install the file. (if you don't know how, use google)
7.) Remove card and reboot after done. A new app App Manager will show up in your nook app list, go to the home page to run it and add links for your new installed apps.
Note: I did not post an files as I used other peoples work i.e. GMPOWER and apps from the market
So I have done lots of research and even tried this. I think I got the app installed but in this case there is no way to show the app in the stock launcher as it only lists apps it installs.
For reference I will include the procedure to install apps via CMW(Clockwork Mod Recovery)

You download the file attached to post 17 in the above thread, it is a empty zip that can be filled with your apks that you want. Simply place the new file on a CWM sd card and install the file via regular instructions in the above post.
If I ever find a script to add a link to the stock launcher I will post that and then this might be a usable idea for side loading apps.
After rooting and installing GAPPS, now I need to get rid of some ... like News and Weather, Google Talk, if possible the Market app (as I installed SearchMarket).
The problem is that I CANNOT. I tried with Root Uninstaller, but it cannot find any apps... it gives me SD card error. So, I need a way to uninstall them from where are installed (not from where Root Uninstaller is looking for apps and not finding any).
Please help, thanks.
You don't want to remove Market just because you installed SearchMarket as SearchMarket is just for searching and it invokes Market to show the result list and for installs. Market is dependent on Talk under the covers for communication with Google servers. I think you can uninstall Talk.apk (front end messenger) and leave TalkProvider.apk installed and everything will work OK. To uninstall Talk.apk use ADB or a root explorer like ES File Explorer to rename Talk.apk to Talk.apk.bak and verify the Market and other GApps you use still work. When you're sure you can delete Talk.apk.bak.
