I just installed about half hour ago and I have to say it's fantastic! Google is on UI TEAR right now #winning.

I really like how they condensed the app list into two columns and made each smaller. It now shows 14 apps per page on my Sensation where the old Market only showed like 5 or 6. Makes scrolling through content much faster.

I also really like the additions of the "Top Grossing", "Top New Paid", "Top New Free", and "Trending" categories. Will make app discovery much more useful!

My only gripe is that it doesn't show the file size for an app UNTIL you start downloading. This is info that needs to stay up front!
[HTC Sensation] RestInPieces209:
I agree with just about everything you said. They did great with the new market. So you are not. Having the same speed issues as me?

[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Using now no issues at all. Like it alot
[HTC Sensation] bigmase521:
Oops I left that part out. It IS a lil slow compared to the old market, little lag but nothing too crazy. I think mostly b/c there is much more info on each page now and the way it loads the thumbnails/images, even though they are smaller. I'm sure they will iron it out quickly though
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Google did an amazing job.

It looks so clean and beautiful, everything is organized better, etc. And I'm not having the slow loads or anything that you are having. It's actually faster. With the old market you would click download and it would take a second or 2 to start, but on this new market I click download and it's literally instant. I love it.

It actually looks like a market that should be on a high end OS/phone, unlike the old market.
[HTC Sensation] glhturbo:
Slow for me as well. It'll take a while to get used to the new format, but so far so good.
[HTC Sensation] RestInPieces209:
Has anyobdy tried a movie yet? Quality?

Also the new widget... All I get is an icon with black. And grey backround. Same for everybody else?
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Nope, my widget is working perfect too.

Where did you download from? I downloaded from the link on the androidcentral.com article.
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Working well for me. A little slow on first use then it clears right up.

Installed it earlier.. Love it!!
[HTC Sensation] jree:
new market is slick as hell. I love it. I don't really notice too much of a lag compared to the old market, which I hated in the first place especially in landscape mode. The new one looks more sophisticated.

fyi, in case nobody caught on, when you hit the menu button and go into setting while in the market, you can deselect "recieve interest based ads". I don't know if that had anything to do with it but I really don't have any lag. Also, I pulled the battery right after I installed it so some of you guys might wanna try that too.
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
I think it looks great. I also think with in time improvments it will be great. Reminds me of the WP7 phone's UI. Looks wonderful. I just hope Microsoft doesn't bash it.

Guys, I think I've run into a serious bug with the new market...it doesn't let me update any apps. It tells me there's an update, but there's not button to download the update. Is anyone else having this problem or am I just missing something?
[HTC Sensation] abuserkadayf:
with me the updates dont even show ? i have to click them manually
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
I was allowed to update now...I think they are rolling out the feature or something.
[HTC Sensation] bigmase521:
Oh snap! Thanks!

I'm using it also no problems here at all

I did get it today but not why I like more old version. The new one is working slow even on Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Not having any issues of slow downs
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
what are you using for screen shots? also did you do the temp-root reload thing so you don't have to do it after each reset?

It sux that root users can't watch movies!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] AllRichC:
Downloaded the new market last night. Does look the nuts but am experiencing the same slow loading over both wifi n hsdpa. Weird aswell coz it seems intermittent, today at work just over 3g was ripping threw it but when I got home to the wifi with full signal was taking an age to load :s.

But all in all does look the nuts, with a great feel to it.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
I think it's caching issues since it's so new.
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
new market = great

Love the new look and feel. It's running pretty fast on my phone. When you click on an app, the product description and picture load faster than the old market loads on my thunderbolt. Very nice update indeed. It helps make android look that much more grown up.

Haha wait a second. It's layout very much resembles Amazons Appstore. Still cool though.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Screenshot it. And I'm using fast reboot so I won't lose root
[HTC Sensation] AllRichC:
Oh yea ill let em iron out a few creases I spose. N why ain't mine got movies?

[HTC Sensation] fradog23:
Works well for me. no slow done issues. I like The new look.
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
I've been using it for almost a day now without issue. I do like that there's so much going on visually but I kinda feel like I'm in Chinatown and a million dudes are trying to sell me stuff I don't really want or need when I'm just trying to get to the dim sum spot.
[HTC Sensation] esincho:
Its very wm7ish. but its better still
[HTC Sensation] GQLewis88:
Its about time...

I downloaded this earlier today and so far I really like it. Kinda reminds me of the old market (probably just because its dark). I noticed its a little slow to load at first, but it seems to be moving a little fast once it loads the first time (at least on mine). Hopefully the official release will be faster though. The movie trailers seem to pretty clear, I would like to see how good the quality of the movies are. I'll probably give it a try tomorrow..
[HTC Sensation] jree:
Are you talking about ads or just how busy it looks? If your getting ads you can disable them in the settings menu
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
So far I like it compared to old Market...but still playing with it.
[HTC Sensation] sundar_amn:
Lag

Its laggy as hell... any of you getting smoother experience?
[HTC Sensation] dannytill:
I had the same sentiment when I first started using it. I think Google just took note of other app markets and made a lot changes to catch up. I like Amazon's appstore but I don't get many apps there so I'm glad to see Google making improvements.
[HTC Sensation] jivemaster:
I have installed the new market, seems to be working OK, but some apps have Chinese text in the description, eg:facebook. This is happening on my UK Sensation and my wife's Australian Incredible S. So it's not our phones or settings. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
[HTC Sensation] esincho:
not laggy at all for me. after install, go to apps and clear market data. Then go open market again
[HTC Sensation] ipwngeek:
does anybody know when its gonna come to Norway? I really want the new marked :(
[HTC Sensation] Artur_q77:
Its a bit laggy, and its sux.
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
i get no lag but its kinda windows 7ish looking to me ,overall i like it though
[HTC Sensation] irock1985:
I have a U.S. Evo 3D and I have the Chinese txt too... it's really starting to bug me
[HTC Sensation] 10332007:
I still like it and it is much faster than the old version. I have noticed that a few times after exiting it HTC Sense has to reload. Odd bug but still a great upgrade.

I have the Tiamat kernel with 3.1 on my US WiFi Xoom.

What is involved in getting the 3.2 update? Do i need to wait for the next version of Tiamat that supports 3.2, or can i upgrade normally and keep Tiamat/root?

Xoom is my first android device, so im not sure on how it all works.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliteone:
in order to upgrade from 3.1 to 3.2 your gonna have to return to a stock kernel, and rom. Afaik, tiamats kernel does not work with 3.2 yet. But rest assured there will be new kernels for 3.2 soon
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namheul:
Thanks eliteone.

Does that mean if my Xoom says there is an update i should ignore it? Or will it not even detect the update?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjack:
You probably won't see the update notification since you're on Tiamat.

If you do see it you should ignore it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namheul:
Thanks to both of you. Will just wait till the Tiamat kernel supports 3.2.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KerryG:
The current Clockwork update-able 3.2 ffor WiFi will install over a 3.1 with the Tiamet Kernel and will replace the kernel with the stock one. So basically you end up with a stock system that is rooted. I wasn't running their custom ROM, just the custom kernel and the V05 update went flawless.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterslacker:
I had the same setup, and my xoom looped on the boot animation after i flashed. I had to do a factory reset/wipe data from CWM to get my xoom to boot properly. So now I'm reinstalling all my apps and settings.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namheul:
I tried to flash the tiamat 2.0 yesterday, but my com then just froze at the dual corenscreen. I reflashed the old 1.4.5 tiamat and its back to normal now.

How exactly do I upgrade to 3.2 from 3.1 with tiamat 1.4.5? Its all way too confusing.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Use this method.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1165998

Copy to your external sd card and rename it update.zip, boot into CWM recovery, wipe user data/factory reset, wipe cache, flash update.zip and reboot. It should work. You could also flash the new Tiamat Katana kernel 2.0 which is only for Honeycomb 3.2 after that.

Good luck!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hexbug:
I am on Tiamat, and just got the 3.2 update notification on my wi-fi only Xoom! I was very surprised since I am on Tiamat, plus removed a ton of "bloatware". I am just ignoring the notification every time it pops up. I suspect if I do go w/ it though, that it will fail... ? Anyone get that far to find out?? lol
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techs1200:
I have a dumb question....do you HAVE to use an external microsdhc card to flash updates? You can't use the internal 32GB '/sdcard' ???

I am using CWM 4.0.0.4 and it seems to read the updates and install, but when i reboot nothing has happened....

Also, the ROM install appears to finish in about 5 seconds, way too short for something that is 100MB...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
No (I need to create a macro, or cut and paste, I've said this so many times) you really need an external microsd card and you need to install the Tiamat CWM Recovery R4c 3.2.0.0. That's the one that works with the external micro sdcard and works with the Tiamat kernels and roms. The 4.x.x.x. version does not see your micro sdcard and won't flash anything to your Xoom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mahgninnuc93:
Howdy. I am about to install CM7. I looked in the downloads and am wondering which nightly I should download? Is the newest one stable or is there another that is stable. The file sizes are all around 92.7mb. Is this the entire MOD or is there a base that I need to install? I know these are noob questions....but I'm a noob to the droid scene. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Install latest nightly using CWM. Make sure you flashed CWM using NVflash.

That nightly is the actual ROM and only thing you need to flash separately is the goggle apps, which are called gapps

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mahgninnuc93:
Thank you. I already rooted and flashed CWM on my phone itself. How would I go about the google apps. In other words, where do I download them and do I install them in the same way from my SD card? Tanks again and sorry for all of the questions.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Google Apps aka GAPPS is also found in the same post as the CM7 nightly.

Factory Reset>Flash CM7>Flash GAPPS>Reboot>Enjoy

Google asked Cyanogen not to include the Google Apps in this roms, so you have to manually install them after you flash his roms.

Once you get up in a good working CM7 rom, download Rom Manager and use it to download roms/Gapps in the future.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
Reboot into recovery

how to i manually say that i want a specific application (in app drawer) to use a specific icon in the icon pack?
[HTC Incredible S] fatexo:
long press the app icon on the dock and you ll get more option like to change the shorcut or change its icon

That's for the dock icons. I want to change the icons in the drawer

i use to download themes when i used go launcher. try some themes
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
yup,but i don't get to choose the specific icons i want, i don't get the icons i really one from just one theme
[HTC Incredible S] hussainmushahid:
you would need to use apk manager for that, just decomplie a application, replace the icon with the one of your choice, recompile, install and walla! its time consuming though.
[HTC Incredible S] fatexo:
that is more tiring if you get tired of the icons abd want to change em again.. :P

why dont you try editing the theme itself ?
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
how can i do that? i'm using go launcher ex
[HTC Incredible S] fatexo:
backup the theme apk on sdcard then transfer it to ur PC.

rename the .apk extension to .zip extract it

delete the 'META-INF' folder and navigate to res/drawable

here you will find all the icons,docks and many things.

mess with them as you want then come back to where you deleted the META folder and create a new zip file.

drag and drop all folders and files as it is in the new zip file.

rename the .zip extention to .apk.

sign it on PC using the auto sign tool and then install on ur phone :)

you can even change the look of widgets and things using this method. :D

hope i helped instead of confusing you.. :p

WARNING: DO NOT FLASH THIS ON ANY PHONE​

IT CONTAINS A NEW BOOTLOADER THAT WILL HARD BRICK YOU AND NOT FEEL GUILTY
​

All of the credit belongs to devs. Samcripp for setting up Project Cheesecake, the effort to find as many international builds as possible located on cloud servers. Navalynt for cloud test CWM mod. Tenfar for CWM bootstrap. Nate_benji for retrieving the update and uploading it for development purposes.

This is what we know so far about the build. I'm making this thread only to supply the link for the update so that hopefully we can start figuring out how we can use it (if at all). 2nd-init is a possibility, and sifting through the folders might yield to some breakthroughs.

Before I supply the link I want to remind everyone not to flash this on their phone.

Link:

Multiupload link

Folders in root:

META-INF

patch

preinstall

recovery

system

webtop

ap20bl.img

Ok what about this nv flash where you have to have the special cable? Would it be possible for non at&t ATRIX phones to use that method to flash our unlockable bootloader then use the the files from the rom you now have and make a fruit cake?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

Is this the latest Bell GB build?

Can't you just use CWM and edit out the bits in updater that reference ap20bl? And delete ap20bl.img as well of course.

Is there a better boot loader out there that fixes the ram issue? Maybe a swap in would be a better idea.

This OTA is a patch so you will have to be on Bell's 37.23. I backed up all my .23 partitions if anyone needs them. I was able to get back to .23 without unlocked boot header from ORGB using edited French 2.1.1, just removed all fs code groups basically. Fuse still the same though (cat /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm=20002000200004000) .

Cheers!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primark:
I am actually hoping to speak with doixah directly, but I'm a newbie so I can't post in that thread, but I do hope doixah reconsiders his position in this regard, the thought I have about improving the x8 gesture is focused on improving the fake dual touch capability of the phone, I was wondering if doixah can do this:

assuming that we only have one sensor for the finger, but every time we press a specific area at a one by one manner the phone instantly recognizes it right? so why not place a loop in every instance where dual touch is required? the thought is to recognize both fingers in a threaded way, this is because no two fingers can be at the same position at the same time so every time we switch from one finger to another the coordinate is passed as if there are two fingers...

since both ends are always recognized in the dual touch modes why not just swap and retain each coordinate that is not exactly or partially the same with each other?

a pseudocode for the idea that i want to impart

coor = finger1.coor

coor2 = finger1.coor

while screen is touched{

coor = finger1.coor (1st end)

delay(1ms);

if(finger1.coor(2nd end)!=finger1.coor(1st end))

coor2 = finger1.coor(2nd end)

}

I am assuming that for every delay a new coordinate is scanned so coor and coor2 is bound to acquire different coordinates which will be fed to the android os thus a dual touch can be simulated by a single touch, hopefully doixah notices this or someone is kind enough to forward the idea to doixah
