Hate the new market?

[mtnlion]

If you're like me and really don't care for the new market I thought I'd share this tip.open terminal emulator and type
Su
pm disable com.android.vending. updater

and NO more market updating itself .If you already got the update go to applications-manage-all-market-uninstall updates and boom back to the old.

I hate the new market too. When you complete the first part it said [1] killed in terminal. Does that means it done right.

Gonna give this a go myself.
I "hate " the new market!
It's functional, but really quite unfriendly for me to use.
thank you for the terminal trick! ....g

Edit ...
I just completed the terminal operation, and my old market is working perfectly...
(Thank you button pushed )......g

It was working for me until I enabled background data/sync.

Background data shouldn't effect it.the terminal command tells the package manager not to even run the market updater.when you ran the command did it confirm disabled?

It says [1] killed, after I put in..

Su
pm com.android.vending. updater

What's with all the hate on the new market? I like it mostly except for that movies don't show up on my phone.

• Takes up a lot more space
• Ugly. Simple beats Busy in my book
• Not easy to navigate. Old version much more streamlined
• Rooted devices can't see "video" downloads. Even though I would never use it, I don't like this.

Those are my reasons for not liking it...

Pretty much my feelings exactly. It's got a wp7 look to me and if I wanted that I wouldn't have an android.After five minutes of playing with the new market I proceeded to educate myself on how to get rid of it.Then shared that knowledge here.That's the true beauty of android, FREEDOM to make it YOUR phone and not what someone else thinks it should be.long live the aosp and xda!

In fact if anyone is interested here's a link explaining the pm commands.they can be very useful but can also get you into trouble.I highly suggest you nandroid before experimenting.Also I am not an expert so don't expect much in the way of tech support from me.I'm still learning too

+2........old market is just .....simple, and works well ...IMHO
Maybe I'll have a change of heart when the bugs get worked out ....but until then I'm going old school ....g

How do I get the market updater re-enabled? Just change disable to enable? I tried that and never saw it update to the new market through several reboots. Only reason I ask is I want to post this on the infuse forum but want to make sure it can be undone. I WILL give credit where credit is due. Will this also turn off automatic updates of apps? Will it still check for app updates when you go into the market?

Thanks for this tip. I love it. Recently switched from an Aria to a Samsung Infuse but I still like frequenting these forums.

Hah. Not even 5 minutes after my last post the market updated. I had enabled it to test undoing the disable. Thanks again for the awesome tip!
