How can I revert to the older market version? The new market is nice but i'd prefer the older snappier one. Is it as simple as finding the apks and using root explorer to copy them over?

for anyone that wants it, this one works...much snappier than the new one imo
For some reason the market reverts to the new one :-/

Use Titanium backup then wipe data and uninstall Market, then restore app data from this file http://www.mediafire.com/?8b2htkdd99r6q6n copy to folder titaniumbackup.
When copying 3 files to sdcard, after you need to kill titanium backup app from advance task manager, then rerun it to read the Old Market backup.
In Titanium Apps scroll to the lowest down, and you'll see Market restore it.
Which market its better for you? Its true that the new market is slower than the old?

Old market is obiously faster, but the new market has many new features like books etc. and also makes going through large lists of apps much easier to do. The ads look cool and it also has PIN protection for purchases so if you have a payment method saved, noone can buy an app without having to put in the PIN you set in the market settings.
My Wildfire S is still on the old arket, is there a way to force an update to the new Market?

I installed an early version of the new market ages ago just by via apk, then HTC updated it automatically in the background to the latest one. I'm on stock.

Hi everyone!
sorry about my bad english..
my xperia play has a corrosion so my communications company exchanged my phone to a new one, and they say that they cannot move the data that was on th old phone.
most of the apps is on the SD, so I can install the apps from there back? or I need to install every single one all over again?
thank you
I believe you should be able to. Only one way to find out.

Well if you used the android market they should be under Menu>My apps.
What problem did your Xperia play have?

hmm it would be tough to track them down then. If you didn't install them from the market then that means you downloaded them as a .apk file, right? Check on your SD card for the apk files.
They gave it to you for free?

You cannot reinstall apps from the .android.secure folder anyway. Android creates a special file unusable file, when they are on the SD Card. To prevent piracy.

Anyone surprised we still have 2.3.6 on this beast when several newer versions have been released? Not ready to root, so haven't replaced the apk yet....
Mines updated after I opened the market up and signed in with my gmail account.

Heh, I factory reset my phone the other day and was surprised to see a different looking market app... must have been 2.3.6.
Then I hit the back key and it was updated to 3.1.5 again, which was the only version I'd seen on the phone before.

I have had it for several days though. I have wiped data for the market application too.
Yea, I think we all start with the old market and then it automatically updates!
Mine updated in the first couple mins.
The Evo3D Killer!!!
after wiping data the second time and resetting the phone, market did end up updating. But until after a few days!
Weird...I have had the phone for a day and I am still on the old market. I guess I should just wait it out and it will upgrade eventually? Is there a way to force a market update?
Thanks!

Go to Settings -> Applications, find the market app in the list, and clear data/cache
Open the app back up and it should update shortly
I use the old market
you have to re-install the apk (hint you can get it from the cyanogenmod gapps link)
and then you have to FREEZE "market updater" using titanium or some other software that will freeze apps
this way market wont update as soon as you sign into the market
I prefer the old version, since it sees my app list better, and shows me what updates I need....the new one wont show updates on mine for some reason for ALL my apps, only a few

I notice that there is something called as DigiClock installed after market was updated. I didn't install this and I can't find this program anywhere and can't find a place to uninstall either. Uninstalled market updates, but it is now showing up even in the old market as well.
Got this update too but I feel it's just fine, however I don't use it so often.
hi, i just kind of replace the market.apk from blapkmarket... and instead got market that does not run... would someone be nice enough to pm me market.apk link?
thanks!
Hello Friends
I don't know if someone already posted this. But I did it myself so m posting here.
First of all to get back old market you need root access on your phone. After that an app that can control system apps like link2sd or SD maid etc. Using that app find an app named "market updater". Freeze that app. Then uninstall updates of Google Play Store (updates only). That's it , now start using old Google market
If you wants to get back to Google Play Store just unfreeze the market updater app n update the market.

Before rooting my wfs when ever I open the play store and look around for any app, for many of times it shows network error, I don't know why it was happening and it also take too much time to load an app info. I have read many times on xda that old market is working good then new one so that's why I did it

My sister is running Tazz ICS, and there are some HTC apps that she doesn't use so I am disabling them in settings->apps. However, there are a few where the disable button is not able to be pressed. Is there a permission I can change so that I can disable them. One I can think of off the top of my head is HTC Location or Location Launcher.
I know titanium backup can freeze them, but I would rather use the built in ICS app disable instead of buying an app to do it.

Thanks, I just found that. Too bad the .apk files aren't all named the same as the apps. I was hoping to find a way to just disable them in the settings->apps menu, but I looked at the permissions for the ones you can't disable and they are the same as the ones you can.
Can't you do that with titanium backup ? I think I saw that a while back

Yeah, you can freeze them. Might need pro though, don't remember. If you don't want to do that, just say what apps you want removed and we can tell you what the apk name is.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk 2
You need Titanium Pro to freeze apps and I didn't want to pay for it. I found the apks and just renamed them. It just seems like having HTC be able to block their crap from being disabled defeats the purpose of the ICS option to disable unwanted apps.
