New market apk wont install

[hakaida]

I followed directions and tried to install the new market apk because my current market keeps FC and it wont install. FC the market, cleared cache and data. Renamed it and rebooted and tried to install the new apk. argh. If my market is down for more than a few days, I'll probably have to go to a plain rooted froyo rom like my gf cuz hers works fine.

why don't you just go back to the old market and wait for a fix? seems logical to me

 

[hakaida]

the old market has been FC me all day long

You cannot install the new market thru the APK, has to be done as an update.zip with this ROM.

Take the market here: Download: New Android Market Version 2.2.6 for All 2.2 Phones (Updated) - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

Rename the downloaded file to update.zip, place on SD card, boot to recovery and install.

That is how I got it working on my Saph 1.1.1.

Also, don't worry that it is not the 2.2.7 version just released, the only thing that build did was correct display issues on larger screens.

I have tried both apk and zip and neither will install for 1.1.1 or 2.0

rename to update.zip even if it is on clockwork?

 

[blueaurora]

I wouldn't think you would have too.

tried again and still didnt work. renamed to update.zip and it installed using clockwork mod, but still remains as the old market.

I'm having the same problem too with getting the updated Market to install. I tried both as update.zip and apk in both Sapphire 1.1.1 and now 2.0.0. I'm using SPRecovery but no luck. I get "Installation aborted" using both the download from the Droid-Life link and the other download link in another market thread on here. Thoughts?

Same problems, stock 2.0, original Droid.

Hey I had this problem too... over in the comments at droid-life.com, gonzo said to go to @tony319 on twitter to get the new market in zip file. Works on both sapphire 1.1.0 and 2.0

This one doesn't work for me either. I"ve upgraded to 2.02 but maybe this is a problem with sprecovery?

Hmm that's possible. I used Rom Manager with CWM 2.5.0.1

Use one of the zips here for the new market: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/te...05022-who-going-re-revisited-vending-apk.html Install manually in clockwork recovery right over the rom. Make a backup first just incase. I have only tried the darkside.zip, but it works perfectly on 2.0 and 2.0.2. Do not use rom manger to install this.
