Android Market
It's actually a pretty good question.I've run quite a few different roms in the last month or so and even though I back everything up,the Market seems to lose apps that I've purchased from time to time.Would be nice to know if there's a way to retrieve them online or if we just need to keep buying them over and over.

Yes seriously. You answer was anything but. I want to where they are stored. Hitting the downloads tab shows a list of them, it doesn't show WHERE.

Download Astro File Browser and use the built-in search feature. Make sure it is scanning the whole system and not just your SD card.
This should tell you where they are downloaded and stored.

This question is highly ambiguous. You may want to refine.
I think he means, if you wipe and install a new ROM, the first time you go into the market, it will remember the apps you DID have installed.
Where is that stored?

Exactly. This is what is elusive. Maybe I'm completely wrong and they are stored on SkyNet I mean Google.

I am pretty sure they are attached to your google account. So they are stored on skynet, in some dark dungeon of servers they have 1000 feet under ground

Actually, I think this is a two part deal. The apps you have purchased are associated with your google account. Free apps and trials have a local market link associated with them. This link can become corrupted and titanium backup has the capability to restore those links. Running a logcat while executing the restore market links process may point you in the right direction.
.....
Frank...

They are definitely associated with your google account. My market kept telling me I had a **** load if apps on my phone...no mater how many times I wiped, they still showed as installed on my phone. I created a new google account and bam..fixed the issue when I signed in with the new account. Its the weirdest thing.

indeed. this seems not only a evo specific "issue". a friend has a hero and was complaining how to uninstall apps since there is a sprint tab in her market. i told her to press menu and then to downloads since she isnt a geek.
i first noticed this tonight.. weird.

This is already being discussed in the GENERAL section.

New market is now public

It seems liks Google started using the new market. What do you guys think about it? I kinda like it

I downloaded the apk and tbh its well better than the old one graphically. The widget section is welcomed and the overall look is just great

I uninstalled the updates (installed 2.2.6 APK), shut down, powered on my phone, checked the market and it updated itself automagically to 2.2.7.
It looks a bit nicer than the old one, although part of me misses the tabs - it works more fluidly than before - haven't had any downloads crash out on me either yet which is a good sign.

how do you get the new market? i dont see any updates on my desire running on cm 6.1.0

One day you'll wake up and it's there. No visible updates, just Google magic.

I just got it today. When I open the market apps it there already. The UI looks good.

Downloads and installations are also a bit quicker which is nice.

or find an APK for it... i.e. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877330

More to the point, how do I get rid of it.
Using appbrain I can uninstall the market and briefly use the old one, until it updates itself again later.
And I can't believe google just added some eye candy, but the search function is still rubbish and there aren't any filters - tsk tsk.

I guess you could try uninstalling (from manage applications) and then try and find an old APK for the old market - that might stop updating itself

I wouldn't mind, except there's a big bug (on my Desire - Orange uk). Whenever my phone runs out of battery and I charge it and go to the market, then click on 'my apps' it only shows about a third of them. So I have no idea if I have any updates on the missing ones. The only way I've resolved this is to go into settings/applications and 'uninstall updates' on the marketplace. Briefly the old market comes back before being replaced by the new one, and all my apps are then visible in the market until the next time the power runs out. Very lame.

try clearing the data (and cache - why not) on the market - go back into it accept the terms and conditions, then let the apps refresh itself.

Doesn't work for me.
Also, I don't think I've had any updates for any apps since the new market came out. I'm hoping this is a coincidence and that Google tested at least that bit.

I have had updates with apps - not many but some since updating to the new market.
not sure why you aren't getting the update - maybe its phasing across handsets in some sort of random order...?

right now im using cyanogen mod 6.1 which doenst have the new market. is it possible for it to automatically update to the newer market even though im running a custom rom? or would i need to download the apk for it and manually update it myself?

[Q] stop the market from updating????

Im curious to know if I can stop the market itself from updating
I am running konis elite series 2 and it has a nice transparent market...however after I agree to terms it will log in and begin app update...I stop all updates of apps .. however after i close out...it seems the market itself updates and sets it back to standars white and green app....is there anything I can do to stop this

only way would be to turn off your data connection, sry bud

Find market in manage apps, uninstall update, then use titanium backup to freeze market updater. Cheers.

No need to buy titanium pro.I found another app called AntTek app manager which allows us to perform the same function which is freeze apps.Most apps which have freeze function are paid so i thought i will tell u about this one.

How to get Google Wallet (from Play Store) on all Galaxy Nexus! OP updated.

From your phone open the browser and head to https://play.google.com/store. (Tip: You may want to clear data and defaults on browser and Market before doing this.)
Search for “Google Wallet.” (If your browser prompts you to open the Market, don’t. Just stay in the browser.)
When the results come back, tap on the Google Wallet icon.
Tap the “Install” button from within the browser and then sign into your Google account. (Again, this is all from the browser, not the Market app.)
Once you have signed in, you should be redirected back to the Market page in the browser.
Tap the back button until you are prompted for the Market or Browser again, this time choosing the Market.
The Android Market should open to the Google Wallet page with an option to install.
**Note 1: It has recently come to my attention that you will have to change to a Google build (although some custom ROM's are fine) in order for this to work for you.
**Note 2: If you are an international user, you must be rooted and have the app MarketEnabler installed. You can use T-Mobile or you can use my untested method of using AT&T as your carrier and may not need to take any of the steps above.
**Note 3: I highly recommend installing the older apk from the Themes and Apps subforum.
**Note 4: If Google Wallet throws up a banner that says "Unsupported Device," it's nothing to worry about. It's because you're rooted!
Here's a video tutorial to help! updated video.
Thought I'd share this because it worked perfect for my Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile. Enjoy!

Here's a couple screen shots.

Very creative idea, I love it! Unfortunately I am unable to make this work on my Verizon GS. After I sign in I get the screen in the screenshot. When I hit back and choose market it takes me to the market, but there is no google wallet.

Did you try clearing your data on both the browser and Market? It should help. If you did, try it a couple times! It will eventually work.

I tried clearing the data on the browser, but not the market. Trying now...

I had to clear data and cache on market and browser and try a couple times before it actually got around the "this item is not available for your carrier" message in the Market app, I had logged in on market.android.com, then after choosing browser for the app and it logged in, hit back and the chooser came up again then used Market and it opened straight to the install prompt and worked

The procedure I used was actually posted on engadget yesterday, but OP's is pretty much the same... don't know if they fixed it by now but it did work for me overnight. It's basically logging in on the browser then getting lucky when you back out and choose the market instead it goes right to the accept & install screen instead of the first app screen where it has the info for it and says "this is not available from your carrier"

It's working for me. My problem was I was clearing the browser data after every failure. It seems like the first time will fail every time, but if you sign out and start the browser process over without clearing the data it works.

New Android Market APK

Enjoy
http://www.mediafire.com/?72w5189rc2wpa0c
Here you will find .49 cent apps.

You don't actually have to download anything to update your market: Just go into settings/applications and find the market app. Simply delete the data (only), and the next time you open your Market, it'll upgrade itself. Hope this helps.

deleted data. got tha carter iv for $.25 to celebrate.

Not true for everyone. Many people, like myself, just got an updated TOS agreement. My market was 3.4.4 but the new one is 3.4.6.

youre right, mine is still 3.4.4. the deals are still there, so i dont care

Are you saying the "delete data trick" didn't work for you here? Cuz that's weird: it worked perfectly on my phone (always have used this to get the latest market), and I do have 3.4.6.... The only question I would ask is: Are you on a gbread Rom or an ICS Rom? (I'm running ICS....maybe 3.4.4 is the latest for Gingerbread, and 3.4.6 is only for those on ICS?) Just a guess.

I also got the updated TOS, the deals are there, and I'm still on 3.4.4. The icon and the app still say "Market".

Yes. It looks like 3.4.6 might be for ICS only but that doesn't make sense because the market is no longer. They would at least change the name and icon even on gingerbread.
I installed the Ops apk and it's definitely the new icon and branding, however, it FCs nonstop ever since tried buying an app.

When I did the 'delete data' thing, my Market app/icon completely disappeared and I got the new "Play Store" app/icon automatically...so that method DOES work for some,(just fyi)

So this market basically broke the $hit out of my market. I installed this version, it worked fine til I bought an app in the store. Ever since then it just FCs immediately. It never intsalled the app, apps installed from the web market do nto install. I uninstalled/deleted the 3.4.6 version and reinstalled the 3.4.4 version and it is still force closing as well. any ideas?
I'm not too worried, I have tomorrow off and this will give me motivation to try the ICS leaks, I'm still on caulkalins last GB rom.
