[App]Android Market 3.2.0
- Thread starter febycv
- Start date
I have a Galaxy SL with XXKPH based Nexus Hybrid OS. I am not able to install the new Market. It changes the version of Market to 2.3.6 or something and when I download / update some app, it reinstalls Market 3.1.5.
Kindly let me know how to install Market 3.2.0.

No. I downloaded the apk file. Didn't try the flashable zip. Please let me know how to flash using the flashable zip? Hope I don't lose other data. Do I need to back up anything?
The flashable zip will replace the old market with the new one. you won't lose any other data.
But, if you are still in doubt, i suggest a Nandroid Backup before flashing.
Thanks for your response.
Unfortunately, I still have the same issue. I had cleared the cache & Dalvik cache and tried installing. But it still shows Market 2.3.6. After sometime, it updates automatically (not sure how
) to 3.1.5 but not 3.2.
Am I doing something wrong?

I believe you're having problems with the Market Updater process. The easiest way to fix is to root your phone if you already didn't and install Titanium Backup. When you have installed Titanium on the rooted phone I suggest you to do a Nandroid backup, just in case if you screw something up. With Titanium installed you go to the Backup/Restore tab and search for the "Market Updater" select it make a backup and then uninstall it (with this backup you can reinstall it in the future if needed). Use the apk or flash file from this thread of the market and you will get the new market which won't update itself any longer.Thanks for your response.

I don't know how much knowledge you have about Android or Linux terminal but it's also possible do all of this through terminal.

This is because it's not the official update!
Has there been anyone who's been silently OTA updated to 3.2?? I've asked before, yet no one has said that they have.
I had to replace 2 apps with this apk to get it to work so paste vending.apk then set permissions then I saw a com.Android.vending so I had to also replace that one by renaming this apk to that name and pasting it in system app

ok, here's how that works:
When you first install a rom, all of the "system apps" are located in (surprise) the /system/app directory. Now, when one of those apps gets updated, the updated app is stored in the /data/app. They are stored under their package name there, and include a number suffix which corresponds to how many times it's been updated.
So if you had version 3.1.2 installed in your /system/app directory, then you would get an OTA update to 3.1.3 and it would be then installed as /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk. Then the next update to 3.1.5 would be installed as /data/app/com.android.vending-2.apk.
Make sense?
Thanks. I will try it. I'm not very comfortable with Linux but looks like its absolutely necessary to learn it if I have to work on Android, which I intend to do

I uninstalled the Market Updater and flashed the zip in ClockworkMod Recovery mode. I still have Market 3.1.5.
Not sure where I am going wrong.

Well, after initially promising results i've given up on the 3.x.x markets and gone back to 2.3.6. Now it's working perfectly, i don't understand why they updated a perfectly good market app with such a dog!

"Perfectly good"? You must be kidding right? It's painfully slow when loading, downloading works like 7/10 times which is unacceptable.
2.3.6 worked fine for me. Only reason i had 3.1.5 was that it came with the custom rom i'm using. It was painfully slow if it worked at all and i hoped 3.2 was going to be an improvement but no joy.
So yes, compared to these new markets 2.3.6 was perfectly good.

I'm not comfortable with Linux either but I use Android. I've used Ubuntu and Debian a bit. Ubuntu's not that bad. Still sticking with Windows 7 though.

The same here but played with Ubuntu and Suse. Haven't tried Debian.
