i actually liked the original 1.5 blacked out market lol.
[Hero CDMA General] slimshade4545:
Not a big fan of the new market ... not 100% sure why, the layout seems a little weird to me
[Hero CDMA General] PMGRANDS:
I think I like the Old Market Better also, Maybe I just have to play around with the New Market some more?

New Android Market is Rolling out today for more Info Check here:

http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-android-market-for-phones-with.html

Just one question though. It's supposed to Roll out Automatically to all Phones, but does that also include our Rooted Nooks running CM7?

Never mind, another Thread pretty much solves this.

You might have heard that Google was rolling out a new Android Market, complete with book and movie rentals. You also might have heard it would coming in the next few weeks. Well thanks to an anonymous source (possibly with a time machine) you can grab it today.

Hit the download link, and install it from your SD card like any other app. Fair warning -- we don't know if there will be any complications from doing this, but we haven't seen any so far. Use your best judgement. Discuss it in the forums!

I have occasionally gotten an "error retrieving information from server" but other than that it seems to work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Dadgummit,

I always forget about that.portion.of the forum because I never go in there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Haha same. Ill get a mod to delete mines so we can keep it simple and only this one :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jake33108:
Seems a little cluttered but i like it mostly. I'd recomend using something to backup your old market app in case this one doesnt work for anything, in the comments on that post some people said they were having problems uninstalling/updating apps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
I had no problem uninstalling apps. Haven't tried updating yet.

Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jake33108:
Yeah, I just uninstalled and installed an app no problem too. But all of my apps are up to date so I don't know about updating.
[HTC Inspire 4G] eric70634:
Do y'all have the video/movie tab?
[HTC Inspire 4G] IceCreamSandwichRocks:
Kinda reminescent of wp7, what with the tiles and sidescrolling and such. Love It!;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] tarheelfanpdx:
I haven't run into any problems updating Apps so far
[HTC Inspire 4G] cdshepherd:
neither have i, actually as soon as I installed it the updates started rolling in
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
awesome looks cool by any chance anyone running Ninja 7061 and using the new market place.

? though since I have the stander market how would I save the .apk for that so just in case I dont like this one? Also do I just add the this new .apk like any other .apk file, I use Android Side Load Wonder Machine when I install .apks
[HTC Inspire 4G] _kansei_:
Why bother with any software or plugging your phone in to install an APK? It all seems a bit unnecessary. I just chrome-to-phoned the dropbox URL and bam app installed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chrisj7:
If your running tpgb ninja your rooted, so you don't need the sideload machine, just go to settings>applications>and check unknown sources. Then put this apk on your sd card and use file manager (an app installed in ninja) to select it and install.

Oh, and i am running ninja 7061. but i think i might just go back to stock CM
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chrisj7:
FOr people who want old market follow these steps:

(Originally Posted By:Chris Chavez of Phandroid)

Go into your phone’s Settings

Select “Manage Applications”

Select the “All” tab at the top

Scroll down to Market app and select it

Select “Uninstall Updates”

Now have your old Market back!

----------------------------------------------------

If that fails, install gapps via rom manager>download ROM>gapps
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Cool. Going to try this sometime. I hadn't heard of this method for installing .apk's.
[HTC Inspire 4G] _kansei_:
It's not a "method" really, it's just.. installing the app, the same way you would any APK. Doesn't matter how you get the url to the APK to your phone (email, chrome to phone, typing it in by hand).
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Well I call it a method so nah! :p. I just hadn't thought of using it that way.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Lol. Well I push the apk into my phone with my finger, then open root explorer. Works really well. :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
I kinda like the new market look. Hopefully you guys start making themes for it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stryfe2010:
As far as I know the movie tab is blocked on rooted devices.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wabi Sabi:
Great
[HTC Inspire 4G] ycode90:
Why ? Pirating ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Maybe I'm missing some cute little trick, but I don't see how a rooted phone would be able to pirate a movie that you would need to pay for any more than you'd be able to pirate an app or a book that you need to pay for... It's the same payment/delivery mechanism, just a different product type.

But that could be the movie industry getting all huffy-puffy ahead of time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ycode90:
Yea I don't get it either.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hungmung:
I can't say your sure but I remember when they started talking about the no movies on tied phones a while ago there was talk that it had something to do with google getting the rights to send the movies. Which wouldn't riptide me lord knows the movie and recording industries aren't that smart when technology is involved.

Sent through the power of Cthulhu!
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Why are there two pics of every screenshot when viewing the details of an app, one blurry one and one clear one?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jesses_girl:
I'm loving it do much can't wait for the final build I will be on top of it
[HTC Inspire 4G] IceCreamSandwichRocks:
Sometimes the occasional app shows info in some random language, then goes back to english after reboot... any ideas as to why?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
I'm not so sure I like the two column wide format that's used once you get into a category, unless I'm missing some setting that turns it into the standard one column wide list.

Sure, you get twice as many app listings on the screen, but at the expense of readability.

No matter, I'm a die hard app brain fanboy anyway.

If I'm jonesin' for a nice big fat book, I'll go to the library. :p

And movies, if they get accessible on rooted devices, rot your brain. :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
well I D|L the file and I used side load wonder machine to install the .apk file my market looks the same? any ideas why?
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
I don't think it's one time payment they are addressing, but the ease that you could, in theory, copy the movie, and, in theory mind you, re-distribute it. You know, that is why Microsoft doesn't give me admin privledge to my old XP PC that I get on the internets with, because I might pirate stuff so they locked down my home PC....you see where I'm going with this?...:cool:

Yes if the Entertainment Content Industry really could get MS to cave and lock down our PC's I'm sure they would...In Google's case it appears the Entertainments biz succeeded...
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Nah this market is slow and kinda over crowded for our 4.3" screens.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
That makes more sense, but that would mean that a purchased movie or whatever would be stored in a location inaccessible to an unrooted device, namely, internal storage.

I would think that movies get kinda big in file size, especially if you have a lot of them, so on the rather skimpy internal storage of many phones, there could be a problem with that, but...

I'm not familiar with the method of delivery for movies on phones like this, I know many here are all in to it, I personally could care less about watching a movie on a 4.3" screen, so...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mister J:
Wow thanks for the market! It looks confusing @ first, but it's a nice change.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Until you start realizing the confusing part outlasts the nice change part. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Perseids:
Personally, I don't care for it that much. I uninstalled the update.
[HTC Inspire 4G] skaroger867:
Im on a stock inspire 4G and I don't have a movie tab :(

I do kinda like the new look.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
This version of market isn't official, I don't think. It's beta, and the movie tab isn't available because I don't think it's ready for public consumption yet.

Since you have a stock inspire and don't have the movie tab, this makes it even more likely, as you'd have no other reason not to see that tab if it were available.

Rooted phones are more of a question even when it is officially up and running, since, well, because their being rooted. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] skaroger867:
Good to hear. Can't wait to see where it ends up
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Yall check my new thread, contains the new movie App for Googles rental service
[HTC Inspire 4G] beredis:
Thanks!! I had this on another ROM and just switched so it's nice to have it back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
I finally decided to uninstall this laggy junk. I could deal with the occasional force closes, but when it started only letting me view twenty results when doing a search, that was it. The app will not scroll down past the first twenty. It also does this on my wifes Inspire and my daughters Bravo. I have used Titanium to freeze market updater. I sent Google a email reporting the issue and received a reply that is normal for the new market to only allow 16 viewable results, despite it reporting many many more. Narrow my search it said. How does that help me when I want to view more results? Epic fail with the new market. Rant over.

My sister just got a Hawaii or however its spelled the accent x with 2.2 on cincy bell and they have Google movies so this is stupid. Google needs to get there act together blocking us but not phones like that

Inspire is not supported yet in movies. Go to Android Market website and send to phone and it says unsupported device. Gripe at AT&T.
[HTC Inspire 4G] man666:
God, i hate the new Market.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
If you installed the apk instead of waiting for the push, we are blocked. That's what a market rep told me when I asked about losing my pushed market. That was 3 weeks ago after I manually installed gingerbread. Still on the old market, waiting to get pushed the new market so I can access the movies.

Edit: this was a reply to Broken. Wanted to quote but replied instead.

My wife's Inspire is stock unrooted and she had the market pushed to her phone. She still doesn't have the videos tab. I manually go to the videos app on her phone and it is not available for download. My daughters Motorola Bravo had the market pushed to her phone and she has the videos tab.

All credits go to Engadget.com, some dude named Wesley, ogdobber and KingDavid63.

You can go to Engadget.com in the MOBILE section to read the short write up about the newly designed Market app from Google (of course). This app isn't officially released yet so certain things may be subject to change in the official release.

EDIT: I just noticed the new Market Widget. Very nice. The app also loads up a million times faster than the previous one. I guess Ice Cream Sandwich might be around the corner.

EDIT: Although everything seems to be functioning quite well for both root and unrooted users, unfortunately root users will not be able to rent/buy movies through the new Android Market.

Enjoy your taste of the future! Download link below!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
NOOB INSTRUCTIONS: Download and install using the file manager of your choice (mines is root explorer from the Android Market) That's it. ROOT IS NOT REQUIRED!

EDIT:

FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT WANT TO USE THE ABOVE METHOD HERE'S AN ALTERNATIVE:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tgerbracht:
Works just fine - may not be accurate about what apps need updating, I'm not sure yet.

Looks awesome though!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
So far everything seems to work excellent. Did you notice the new movie and book tabs? You can also watch trailers and rent / buy movies. Google is awesome.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
This is pretty sweet! Mine kept FCing so I copied the apk to my /system/app directory and installed it from there. Works flawlessly now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hmm2k8:
Sucks they block rooted phones from renting movies. But the app is really nice now!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
They did? Please tell in detail so I can update the OP. Thanks for your finding.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
I wonder why you experienced a forceclose. Mines installed successfully. I'm glad you found an alternative way to get it to install.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AriaNoob:
Sweet! Thanks :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
Your definitely welcome. Although all credit goes to Engadget and a dude named Wesley.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Rooted users are not supported to watch rented movies.

Why? Because you can probably rip the movie if you are.

That sucks. I think Netflix is the better buy, although it would be nice to have the option to rent/buy movies from the market as a root user. Thanks for the heads up and I will update the OP.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
For those of you who are seeking screenshots before you hit the download link I will post screenshots soon as I get to a computer. Unfortunately the XDA app isn't allowing me to upload pictures at this time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Anyone else have trouble actually downloading and installing apps with the new Market? Mine force closed every time I tried to install anything from it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
Mines works excellent and so does my fiancée phone. We are both running stock roms. She has a myTouch Slide 3g and of course I have the G2x. Are you using a Cm7 or Aosp based rom? Did you try going to settings from the homescreen, then click on manage applications and then scroll down to the market app and click on clear data? Let me know if it works. Also try rebooting your phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baldwinguy77:
Not me. Did you try to fix permissions? Clear cache maybe also and data for the market app.

P.S. I'm running CM nightlies and it works fine for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Larry94:
There is also something strange about the market... I am seeing games like Modern Combat 2, BackStab, and Nova 2 on the Market. Last time I checked, Gameloft didn't release their games on the Market and my device can't play those games.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
I can confirm that Nova 2 has always been in the Market, but I can't confirm nor disregard the other 2 games you mentioned. What phone/tablet do you have? How do you know the games won't work? Did you try to install them?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Larry94:
I have a Droid Incredible. Which will play those games with a few build.prop changes, but is not officially supported by Gameloft for those games. Also, I've noticed that games that I have obtained through other means (Amazon Appstore, Blapkmarket) are showing up as installed in the market.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
Is your phone rooted? Did you fool with the build prop?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Larry94:
No, My phone is not rooted and I have not changed build.prop.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sincest:
this new market totally looks like something from microsoft... lol?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Yea I'm on CM7. Clearing app data didn't work. Uninstalled and reinstalled the market apk and it seems to work now so who knows.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
Ok number 1 nice find dude, and yo to upload ur screenshots use imageshack.us in ur phones browser, also for people having trouble with downloading or fc, download andro zip from the market then download the market apk then after u downloaded it go to andro zip and scroll down to your downloads folder click on the new apk. It will say do u want to replace your previous market application say yes . Then go into the new market and u are golden, I haven't had any problems at all and I see all my apps, I see all the games the Guy was talking about a few posts back, its awesome
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Wish there was a way around the error for rooted devices.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
Idk, like I said in the OP some stuff might be subject to change cause this app isn't even officially released to any Android phone as of right now. When google rolls out the official app for your phone then you might not experience any of the issues your experiencing. Hopefully your issue gets resolved.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
My fiancée said the same thing and I didn't realize it till after she said it. Microsoft or not, the new Marketplace definitely looks better than the old one and its much faster and smoother too. I love it! The previous Market left a sour taste in my mouth from jump.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
Glad that your problem is resolved. Sorry I couldn't help. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mhsamma:
Man I freaking love this new Market. O how little things can sometime make your day or night.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
Your welcome. I finally used imageshack thanks to you. I updated the OP with pictures! The only issue I notice is that there appear to be a duplicate of each picture I uploaded in the OP. Maybe it looks funny since I'm on the XDA app. Whether or not its a duplicate I thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
I feel the same way about it. Something as little as the market update gave me another reason to love my G2x and Android as a whole. Its so cool that we can rent/buy movies from the market!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] short/y:
Not crazy about it

I have to say I'm not too keen on the new Market. First, they took away the My Apps button which is where I go 99.9% of the time that I run Market. Yeah, so I've gotta hit the menu button and select My Apps from there ... not a big deal I guess but it's the little things. If I could set up a custom shortcut that took me to My Apps I'd be much happier but I don't seem to be able to do that, either. And, last, it looks like my apps are displayed in alphabetical order instead of from more recently installed/updated to least. Perhaps that'll change over time but I'm not crazy about that particular sequencing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KingDavid63:
Playing movies on rooted Devices!

original post by : ogdobber

you can rent the movie with a rooted device...you just can't watch it (but you can with this trick)

open terminal on phone

Code:

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/mu

close terminal and you will be able to watch rented movies on your rooted device

to revert open terminal

Code:

mu

mount -o rw,remount /system

mv /system/bin/mu /system/bin/su

google movie looks for su by name, easy work around because naming it to mu you still have suid, but rooted apps (as well as google movie) are looking for su "name" as well..with the terminal you can tell it suid is mu

gsript doesn't work on this because it too looks for su on the revert

you can copy the code to a notepad and paste it in terminal so you don't have to type every time
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KingDavid63:
and for everybody that dont know if you dont want to do the above mentioned code you can rent with market and then just watch it in your browser whether your rooted or not...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
I understand what your saying, but I personally love ever aspect of the new market app. Not to sound rude, but you can always revert back to the previous app if this one isn't your cup of tea.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] short/y:
I didn't think you were rude at all. I have reverted but I'm sure I'll have to upgrade (or be upgraded) at some point in the not too distant future. I'm not against change, I'm just confounded why they don't give you a way to sort and why they've "hidden" the route to your installed apps. The Market that came stock from T-Mo didn't have a My apps link on the main screen either.

I"m just irked, is all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
I think if you download the previous apk file it shouldn't force update. I remember people disliked the previous market app (the one you like) and they downloaded the apk file of the one before that and it worked. This topic might have been in the myTouch 4g or myTouch 3g section. I forgot which one since I've owned many phones in the past.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
Thanks for your input. Do you mind if I copy and past everything you wrote into the OP or my second post?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] short/y:
Thanks but I'm doing my best to use the most recent. I *hate* falling behind.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
I think the new app will grow on you. Its gorgeous and loads up a lot faster than the previous one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KingDavid63:
No go ahead bud.....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
Thanks. Will do.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chrisdepew:
So, all my installed apps are gone from the my apps tab. What should I do?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
Lmao. I guess install them again. All jokes aside try deleting the market app and then reinstall and then see what happens. I have no idea why your experiencing this issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chrisdepew:
Yeah, tried that. Reboot now I have a ton of connection issues with wifi. It keeps going back and forth from tmobile store to plain store. What a mess, I should have just waited.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
Are you using a rooted or stock rom?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chrisdepew:
Rooted stock
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chrisdepew:
I have managed to get back to stable. I had to reboot. The boot up was all messed up and never did the animation. It went black and then the screen popped on. Real strange.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
Great news. A lot of time a reinstall of an app or a reboot fixes a large amount of problems people face with Android.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
How do you actually update apps? Says there's an update for one of my apps I click the app it brings me to the app page but no where in there do I see update??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I had a couple of my apps do the same thing. I just uninstalled them and reinstalled them. They reinstall with the most current version.

The rest of my apps have worked properly and when an update is available I'm actually given the option to upgrade.
