They're re branding market. It's now called "play store". Music and books are also changing.

Force close app and then reopen.

Here ya go.

I'm rolling with it, got the badge for my signature and everything haha

ShadowGun is also on sale; I can confirm that it plays nicely on the Inc2 (running 7.2 kang).

I say that it seems to just be adding desktop features. So, I'll be ignoring everything except for the 50 cent apps.
Can't complain about sales...

When I force close market and then enter market again I get googles privacy notifications about google play store. But the app still says Market in the top left. The 49 cent deals are nice but I picked up most of what I wanted during the 10 cent app special several months ago.

Hmm... so I have the new "market" installed, running CM9. I have never used Google Video, so I'm not sure if this has been an issue in the past, or it's something new, but....

It was like this way before for Market rentals on rooted devices, iirc.

If anyone is having trouble purchasing apps from the Android Market that you side-loaded or got from another Store (Amazon, GetJar) then you can try and use this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23356474&postcount=18
I just used this guide to purchase an app I had previously gotten for free from GetJar.

Google Play is a generically lame name. meh.
I found that their update broke the market link on my phone. workaround was to open a market link from the browser and then choose 'open with GPlay' from options.

It broke mine too but only for a minute, i just kept clicking on it like a madman and finally the icon changed to Google play and it opened lol

Essentially its the same market with updates.. tried to make it flashy by changing what the name is and all it does is irritate me because I still look for market in my drawer... As long as google doesn't make this like a steam client where the games have to be ran through google play, ill be ok

I've heard that people having problems downloading from the market are using killalldrmserver in a terminal to make it work again.

New market update

http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/12/google-updating-android-market-app-on-phones-adding-movies-and/
New market update confirmed and coming soon according to Google. I think it looks pretty awesome. People are already yelling about the WP7 comparisons, but I think its pretty slick.
I think it looks quite smart. Bring it on
yup its very pretty, so us rooted users wont be able to rent movies?
Here's the new update.. ....courtesy of loxdev.
Installed it on CM7without problems...

Mine was choppy and didn't display images till i rebooted. then it worked just fine.
also if you're rooted you can try to wipe market data in titanium backup and reboot. or wipe cache and reboot and try that.
Works pretty dam good on non-rooted stock.
Video is nice and smooth. Couldn't really tell I was streaming on mobile data. (Which was probably 4g)

dang! Im running the pyro rom but cant get this to install. it just says "Application not installed" anyone has any ideas how to fix this?
Anyone having issues updating apps? I've had 2 apps now show up in the 'update' heading, but when u click thru to the app the top dialogue boxes are 'open' and 'uninstall', as if that page doesn't recognize that there's an update.
Once 2 apps were available for updating, the "update 2" button comes up and it allows me to hit it. 1 of the 2 updated. the other still won't. Tried wiping Market data and rebooting, no luck. bleh.
UPDATE: Well after doing several reboots and etc. etc., I just simply went back to the file (From this thread) and re-installed the market again. Now the 'update' button shows up! Not sure what I did but it works now.

your reply made me think this was some sort of prank download to see if people would actually install it...
but i went ahead and did anyway.
Will I still get this if rooted. I would rather not install an apk when it comes to the market.

well it works fine, although i really hate the new layout.
it also bothers me that it now shows results for movies and books. (wtf!??!)
with the new one is it possible to go back to the old one?
It is possible. I just did it. Go to manage Apps. Find market and hit uninstall. It will remove the update. I liked it but it wouldnt show all of my Apps in the my Apps section.

It kinda has a Google + feel to it. It must be what icecreamsandwich is going to have and that's why the movies and books.

[Q] Apps stuck downloading?

Im on CM9 Kang, also on the kernal that came with it. My apps auto update, and so I see gmail and quickpic updating. But it was kinda odd because it was still downloading the updates 3 hours later(wifi not being the problem). I even tried downloading angry birds, and it was stuck on "starting download". I have like 6 apps that are waiting in queue for updating, but its just sits there. Amazon market works perfect, so its something wrong with the play store im assuming. Anyone know a fix for this?
Its in most of the posts regarding cm9 and aokp, open terminal emulator, type su hit enter then type killall drmserver

Hey, this is just a general play question though.. anyone know why when you hit all apps auto update . There is still one or two that need to be manually updated? (THIS MEANS YOU FLASH AND ACROBAT READER!!!) That's with gb and ics.. no big deal really, but it is just something I always wondered.

So have to be done manually due to permissions changes. Are you meaning those?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
Like I flash a new rom. When I open market I select auto update all apps. Nearly every app updates itself, but there is always one or two that say they news to be done manually . When I go to update it manually though, the box for auto update is selected.. just weird

That means on a regular update it will. Just happens that that particular update changes permissions so must be done manually

Two frozen Google apps return

Two Google apps -- Play Books and Play Movies & TV -- keeping returning from the land of the frozen. I go back into TB Pro and refreeze, and within a couple of days at most they are back. All the other Google apps I've frozen remain so. Is there something else on the list I also need to freeze?
When I disable them in app manager they come back after a reboot as well. I think its tied to the play store or something that keeps activating them.

I checked on Play and on app manager for auto update option and don't see one. Odd that only these two are persistent despite freezing. I have the feeling there's another item on TB that needs freezing as well to fix this.
I got sick of this and since I do not want nor need them, I just deleted them

Ah, the more brutal approach. If that worked, and you have no regrets or issues as a result, that seems my only course of action as well.
Why you bother to freeze them or delete? It's part of former Google Market. Do.'t see benefit from deleting it. Can you share your thoughts?

Basically, I have four pages of icons under apps, and many of them are for services I have no interest in and will never use. I'm not trying to save space...I think there's 11 GB free, but I find the clutter off-putting.
Not sure I understand the part about Google Market. Play is just the same thing renamed, isn't it? Plus new look and feel.
Anyway, just de-cluttering the UI.
Yup it comes back now.. Use menu - > hide applications or you can stick them all in one folder and hide just that folder

Does anyone have the apk for N.O.V.A. 2 HD that comes pre-installed on the Touchwiz ROMs?
I currently do not have this phone activated with Sprint and it will not download on Wi-Fi for some reason. I only have the shortcut link that tells you that it requires additional files. I do not need the SD files since I already have them.
If anyone can pm me a link it would be appreciated.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I checked the Play store and it needs to be purchased.
But when I still had Sprint service the app came with the phone. Upon first boot it installed a shortcut that once opened downloaded the application over 3G. Why should I pay for the app if it comes preloaded?
I've checked Google and the only ones I find will start the game where it loads the first cinematic then crashes. Skipping the cinematic will give a black screen then the app stops responding.
