New market on stock rom

Given that Market usually updates itself... you should have the recent version installed.

However, if you don't have Market 3.4.4 installed and you actually want this version...

Make sure your phone is rooted!

Get yourself a copy of Market 3.4.4.
For example, download eagleeyetom's Android Market update for CWM and pull the Vending.apk out of the update ZIP.

EDIT: Errr... better use the link in my signature and look into the "Android Market" folder - eagleeyetom has not updated the links in his thread yet. *goes shooting him a PM*

Copy Vending.apk onto your SD card (i.e. into the root of the SD).

By using Root Explorer or Root Browser do the following:

RENAME /system/app/Vending.apk to Vending.backup
Move /system/app/Vending.backup to /sdcard (just for safety in case we need it again)

Copy Vending.apk from /sdcard into /system/app
(Don't forget to tap "Mount R/W" first in Root Explorer)

Adjust the file permissions to
R W -
R - -
R - -

Reboot your phone!

Once the phone has booted up again open up Market ... if it works you now got the latest version.

If it doesn't work just reverse the procedure and restore the Vending.backup as Vending.apk in /system/app and reboot afterwards.

On a second note - if your phone is rooted and you have xRecovery installed ... in eagleeyetom's thread there's also a dual-recovery update ZIP you can flash through xRecovery - look at the last few posts in his thread.

Simply try (see attachment)...

No guarantee that either Market or YouTube will work on Stock 2.1.1 ... I think none of us tested this case as we all roll on custom ROMs.

However, same procedure as with Vending.apk...

Locate the original YouTube.apk in /system/app and replace it with the attached version - don't forget to rename the APK accordingly!

If either one doesn't work you at least know it's incompatible with Android 2.1

I was so pissed at MultiUploads shutdown. Now it's so awkward when getting ROMs.

Thankfully B.Jay came to the rescue.
My pleasure, I guess there wasn't anyone else who had actually collected most of the stuff that suddenly vanished with MultiUpload going down.

I just regret I didn't keep a complete collection of GingerDX and FroyoBread ... while I dug up a few GingerDX versions below v013 I couldn't find any working FroyoBread downloads anymore (below v023b, but then v023b was the greatest release of doixanh's Froyo ROM anyways).

EDIT: And yes, it was a shame that the bust on MegaUpload took out lots of legal downloads (also on other file hosting sites that were just collateral damage) from XDA ... while this is a topic for debate a custom ROM built out of the CM7/AOSP sources is perfectly legal - that's why I don't have any headache in re-hosting the stuff on MediaFire (and in case morons decide to take out each and every file hosting site out there I still have everything backed up - in worst case I could re-host on Dropbox where I hamstered up 10.8GB over time).
