i dont know. your the first who reported it. does it work when you set your density back to 220?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
should have some 2.2.11 markets to throw at you guys soon :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
Two markets testing well. Should be in the op by monday night. Then ill try to get pmgrands red facebook up
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] DJMartini:
Default density is 240 and original you created worked at 240.

I'll wait for the new market see if it had same issue.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
Right. That answered my ?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fudsey:
OK this is strange.

In data/data I deleted the com.android.vending folder. In data/app I didn't find com.android.vending. I checked to make sure Vending.apk was capitalized in system/app, but when I reboot and wipe the dalvik I still get the regular green market.

I looked in system/app and I have com.android.vending-1.apk and Vending.apk.

Which do I delete or should I delete both and reflash?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fudsey:
Running Redemption 2.3
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
Thats weird. Delete the market com.android.vending in system app. Im putting updates out later for 2.2.11 if you want to wait
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] 760hacker:
Can't wait!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fudsey:
I'm all over that :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Archangel:
Yes please I HATE this green market
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
new markets are up in the op!!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
hey guys that red facebook is a paid app. i cant post it. i promise were going to do one tho
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] MedicStuder:
I did exactly as the instructions said to install and no go. I am running midnight rom with gingerbread theme. I deleted the com.android.vending.apk in data/app. Then wiped cache and rebooted in recovery to flash and no go. So I extracted files and placed vending.apk in app/data and it says application no installed.

Flashed new black themed 2.2.11 market and worked great!

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
yeah that wont work which market did you install? look in system app . it should be there. you may want to delete whats in data/data also under com.android.vending. we are kind of assuming you already have has a themed market and it is just being over rode by the update
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] MedicStuder:
The 2.2.11 ok will try that and get back to you. Also what do I have to do to get the keyboard theme to apply

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
Remember they are renamed in the app drawer. You need to longpress in a text field and when input method comes up choose android keyboard
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] MedicStuder:
I deleted all but the com.android.vending-updater. I think I remember reading in one of the post not to delete that. Anywho outside of that I have no vending on my phone. I flashed zip and still not working. I have looked threw files to see if there is somthing else hiding and nope. I did notice thought the the vending file in system app was labeld vending.apk.apk

Sent from my EXT4 Rooted CWM3 Samsung Epic 4g running midNIGHT ROM with Gingerbread theme
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
lol. yeah thats a problem. have no idea that happened. you need to rename it to just Vending.apk. cap the v. can you post what you flashed? and which market. i have four 2.2.11
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] MedicStuder:
The 2.2.11 black market. So if I deleted all the vending files on my phone what should I do since I don't have them? Can I just replace the one in the system app with the 2.2.11 black market one? I am totally lost..lol

Sent from my EXT4 Rooted CWM3 Samsung Epic 4g running midNIGHT ROM with Gingerbread theme
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
i just checked all the markets. they are labeled right. no the problem is the apk.apk you need to go in and rename it to Vending.apk then reboot. if it doesnt work just reflash . i would really like to know how that was renamed..lol

If i flash this green gingerbread keyboard and black market on darky v8.0 running neonGT theme, will it go fine ?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
Lol I hope so. Keyboard shouldnt be a problem. You need to activate after install. As far as the market just read the instructions and post any problems
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] silverxbv2:

@ fernando sor installed the "black market" and working now. Just to report a really curious thing that happened during installation process. Yesterday, my market got auto updated to v2.2.11. Today when i logged on to xda, i see u posted the new modded version. I downloaded it, and proceeded to flash through CWM recovery. But my first try, after the phone rebooted, there was no market. I flashed again and the same thing occurred. I had to reflash original v2.2.11 market and then flash your mod version to make it work... Im just wondering why this happened...perplexing me bro...
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
well the update goes to data/app. did you remove it?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] NilsP:
Fantastic job.

Hope you don't mind that I will be including the black version in my Business_Sense_Desire-Z ROM
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
not at all. i just hope the market doesnt update so quickly again!

edit- thanks for coffee nilsp!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] NilsP:
I agree. The funny part is the first thing the old market want to do is update to the latest which causes problems for custom ROM's. I got around that with yours.

Enjoy the coffee. The least I could do.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] RMarkwald:
I had to do the same thing. Uninstalled like OP stated, then installed but no market. Installed new market apk, then flashed fernando's black market, worked great!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dmoses1969:
Can someone make those Gingerbread keyboards EVO compatible? I flashed the Cyan and the Blue and they will open but as soon as I try to enter a key it fc's

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fudsey:
You're not alone in that thought either Fernando!!

Thanks for all you help and for this update. I won't forget to send you a beer donation when I get the chance!! :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:

How to I get the black and green keyboard on my droid incredible?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
Flash it. Then you have to activate it
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] maw_woodruff:
I flashed it but how do I activate it??
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Archangel:
When you did this the second time did you go back and delete the market version out of data app the second time? or just flash the modded market after it didnt work the first time?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] zelendel:
Go into settings and choose text and set the keyboard. While you are at it you might want to look around and learn where things are.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Nic2112:
Which one is the one on the right (the blue one). I've tried to download two of the ones that say dark blue but they don't look like that one.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
Its new. Check the op
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] maw_woodruff:
I went into settings but didn't see a text option. Went in to the language and keyboard settings and i don't see how to activate it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
Are you having trouble cam?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
Long press in a text field and choose input selection then.android keyboard
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] maw_woodruff:
I did that but it's not the black and green keyboard.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
Thats happened to me. Uninstal your current one and flash again
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] maw_woodruff:
ok i tried that and it didn't work. I don't know what i'm doing wrong.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
so you have no android keyboard now?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] silverxbv2:
I'm starting to sound like a broken record. Another perfect install from the new market to the "new" market. You're the man Chucky. Thanks, thanks, thanks

Delete that and redownload it. Flash it from recovery. After everything settles go settings/language and keyboards and select Android keyboard. Open your messaging app and long press the dialog box. Tap input method then tap Android keyboard. That's it from start to finish. If that don't work, post a screenshot of the keyboard that you have that you say doesn't come on the phone.

Hey fernando, sorry to hijack the thread but the mod flashed fine, I dropped in a different status background (still got to fix the background a bit) and all is well. Great job and thanks again!!!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Bullhead00:
Can someone please help me? I think this will be my last time attempting to install this black market.

I followed the instructions, deleted the vending file from data/app, cleared cache with cache cleaner, rebooted into cwm recovery and installed the black and cyan market. Rebooted and I have lost market all together. Luckily, I was able to reinstall with an apk I have for 2.2.11. I'd like to have the blue market but I guess it's just not meant to be for me, unless someone can tell me exactly what I'm doing wrong.

On a side note, the blue Gmail looks really nice. Thanks!!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] 29629:

i tried to install the 2.2.11 black market. didnt work at all. then tried to get back to the 2.2.11 stock market. got that to work but now i try to go into "my apps" and it force closes. trying now to do the install process again for the black 2.2.11.

Update:

tried to install the black market thru recovery again, and it went back to the stock green market, and "my apps" still gets me force close. i can open the market, but i cant look into any apps either. just a force close trying to do anything with the market

please help
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
ok these are the first issues weve heard and a lot of people are installing so there has to be a way you guys can also. what ive found is that it installs great over an existing market that is labeled Vending.apk in system/app

if you can nandroid back to that scenario then try to flash. you dont want to uninstall a market in system app. also try to flash over the data app without uninstalling it. im busy at work but will be able to help tonight.

good luck and report back and dont sign the market . (if you know how that is)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] lakeyece:
i dont have a recent nandroid. i know i should have made one thats my mistake. i dont know what it means not to sign the market. theres nothing i can do or install over the market in there now to get it back to where it was?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
you have no market now?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
Try flashing over the green market
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] miketwn:
@fernando sor just installed the black market again as I just flashed a new rom. Just to reconfirm, in my app drawer, the market is renamed "black market" and the icon is changed....is that kosher? thanks bro
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
yes that is correct. each market-red,blue,emerald and the black ones are all renamed in the app drawer
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] firestetz:
Looking through this thread and have not found the answer so heres the question, deleted vending-1 and everything except market updater and Vending.apk flashed black market and black and blue market but can't get it to show. I have checked and it is in system\app but doesn't show in app drawer plus app brain says no market installed. I'm on myn rls5 can anyone help? The only thing I think I haven't tried is reinstalling from fresh wipe.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] GooTz66:
Is the market showing up in Manage Applications?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
probably not if app brain isnt reading it. what did you flash the 2.2.11 market over? what was installed beforehand?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] GooTz66:
That was gonna be my next question.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
wait you deleted the vending.apk that was in your system/app before you flashed?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] GooTz66:
looks like he said he deleted everything "EXCEPT" market updater and vending.apk
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] firestetz:
Yes market is showing in manage apps, no I did not delete Vending.apk, flashed over 2.2.7 dark blues market.

Edit: but the market did the silent update before I started

No luck for me. I have Bonsai ROM which has a different name than vending.apk. I tried renaming it then flashing and alao rriwd flashing an old market with proper name. But either the market will not show up or it shows up green.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
sorry bro. i would keep trying tho
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] myn:
Why isn't the Black market signed? You can confirm this by opening the apk in 7zip. There is no META_INF dir (no certs).

It installs great over an existing instance because the data including signing authority are already cached.

Try rm -rf /data/data/com.android.vending then pushing the Vending.apk to /system/app. It won't work.

Have you tried copying over the META_INF and manifest.xml from the vanilla official Vending.apk (2.2.11)?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
i did that intentionaly. you cant copy the manifest or you dont have an inverted market. no black and white text.a few people are struggling with it but it is way more stable then 2.2.7. its all in the manifest myn. you cant swap keys if you alter that. way higher success rate then the previous mod.

and i did flash it over a previous mod that was a disaster and never loaded. i flashed over it with no market cache.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] pjjohn73:
I have tried the unsigned and signed versions of the Markets. No luck. I use a ROM that changed the original Vending.apk name to something else. So before I use this I am changing that name to "Vending" so it can over right this file during the flashing process as described in the instruction. I also deleted vending file from data/data and data/app

If I look under system/app it shows the Vending.apk there, but under the app drawer it does not show up. And I have looked through the whole drawer for alternate names. I flashed the blue/black version.

I have also tried deleting vending from system/app and flashing an original "old" Market, then flashing the "new" Market as described in the OP with no better results.

Really odd, as I used to be able to get this to work with version 2.2.7

I finally got it to KINDA work, by using Root Explorer and extracting the Vending.apk file from the Market flashing zip and moving it to Data/App and renaming it to com.android.vending-1.apk. I get an icon in the app drawer and it loads. The colors are not entirely correct though. I used the Vending.apk from the Blue/Black Market and the colors are showing up (Opening Market Screen) green on the top and in the app area black background, white words, and blue rating stars. I was thinking the top should be blue/black not green. But still like it better than stock.

I also tried to manually put into the System/App folder and change the file permissions. This works to a degree. I get the proper colors, etc, but now I get FCs.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] RMarkwald:
Nope, didn't delete. Just installed original market, let phone boot, didn't open market, booted in recovery, flashed themed one, booted and opened up market.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
Where was the market on your rom when you started? How was it labeled?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
Yes a couple people have used this method
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] DRW315:
Anyone get this working with CM7 nightlies? I've tried most, if not all, of the methods mentioned in the various posts to no avail. I have Vending.apk in system/app and I've renamed com.android.vending-1.apk to *.bak in data/app. Just as others have posted, after installing the black market in recovery I am left with no market until I restore (rename) the data/app file. I can't stand the stock green market!

Black and blue Facebook and Gmail work great, thanks to all who have contributed!!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] pjjohn73:
In system/app folder. Labeled, com.android.vending_2.2.7.apk. This is on the Bonzai ROM for the Epic.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] DJMartini:
I'm on CM7 nightlys now and I got black market to flash in CWM 3.0.0.5 ... I had to mount /system and do fix permissions first but it flashed without problem.

FB blue/black widget isn't optimized for LCD density so I can't use :(
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
that scenario has had the most success
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] firestetz:
Ok finally got it after many tries and many failures. Here is how I got it to work on myn 2.2 rls5 after silent update. first I deleted everything market except market updater, flashed market 2.12 which I found with a link on op then went into es file explorer to system\app and installed vending.apk then went to tb pro and wiped data, deleted backup and uninstalled market 2.12 then still using tb pro I deleted backup, wiped data, and froze market updater then using es deleted vending.apk out of system\app again. I then rebooted in recovery and wiped cache and dalvik then again flashed market 2.12 and rebooted let phone load every thing and without opening market rebooted back to recovery and again wiped cache and dalvik then flashed black and blue market rebooted and it works ;)

I know it's long and alot to do but I tried many other things since yesterday morning and this is the only way it would work for me.

Successsssful Finally

I'm running virusrom airborne 5.1 on EVO (w/virusmarket 2.27 themed), my market got upgraded to 2.2.11 green F@#$. I did a fresh install of virusrom airborne 5.1 to get (virusmarket 2.27themed) back, then I went into my Amon recovery 1.8 wiped cache and dalvik cache, flashed the Vending_to_system_blue_black.zip(2.2.11 market) and Booya !

Booya:

"Bam!", "in your face", and "hell yeah", all at the same time. A term that self-congratulates, describes excitement, lets others know the magnificence of the celebration as well as the superiority of the user, and is used as an exclamation of those ideas.

Say "booya!" when you play a trick on someone or beat them at a game, or prove your superiority to others.

"How you like them apples, *****!? Booya!" :D
