Hello,
Since I update my Desire with the official Gingerbread version (2 months ago), the Market is still with the old version and never updated automatically.
It seems like the Market will not update to Google play either.
I would like to know if you have the same problem.
Thanks.
David
Deal with it man. Since you are on stock rom, you probably wouldnt like the file size of the new market (Play Store) anyway. About 4MB is the size. But if you insist, a good searching on XDA should get you the file for you to update manually.
via xda app
For me it always takes a couple of days.
Google does not rollout to all gazillions android devices at once, there are some device specific delays.
So most of the time I update manually by downloading the APK which is always posted in blogs and forums.
It's safe, because your android will only allow updating system APKs which are signed by the same key as the original system package.

I want to preface my questions by fully acknowledging my complete ignorance on this subject. Nothing is worse than someone who won't do their own leg work. I've hesitated posting these questions just because I didn't want to waste anyone's time. However, after spending literally hours I just ran out of options. I'm turning to the geniuses on XDA for some help.
I have the CDMA (Sprint) version of the Touch Pro2. I just installed the latest 2.2 build (the one that supports the external speaker).
There are 2 questions.
1. Is accessing the Marketplace for paid apps possible with the TP2 and this build of Android? If so, what changes do I need to make to my device to enable that capability. Right now I can only see free apps.
2. I was trying to get Flash to work. It doesn't show up in the Marketplace. I tried to install the apk file from a thread on this forum (can't post the link as a new user). However, I received a generic failed installation message. I also tried using SkyFire 2.3 (BETA). But when I navigate to a site with Flash on it I see a little box telling me to download Flash Player.
I really appreciate any help that I can get on this. Again, I apologize if I missed earlier discussions on these topics.
For the paid apps you have to download the market enabler. It's in the faq http://sites.google.com/site/androidport/faq Look for "I can't see any paid apps available for purchase in the Market."
I don't know if you can get flash enabled because we haven't got 3d working yet.
Thanks
Thank you very much. I really appreciate your time in answering the questions. I'm installing Market Enabler now.
Hey all.. I'm using neophyte 1.8 trying to update flash to 10.1 via the android market but keep getting an error message saying that the package isn't signed properly. Is this a ROM or Adobe problem? If ROM how do I get passed this?
Thanks for reading!

Update:
Have tried to remove original Youtube and Adobe Flash apks (Youtube causing update issues too, same message) via adb which responded with "failure", tried removing via RootExplorer which again failed. Tried uninstalling through settings but the button is greyed out.. Uninstaller Pro doesn't have the apps available to select. Should I flash a different ROM?
Problem solved by Sylaan on #LeeDroiD-ROMs - Market seemed to want to update when the files were up to date - cleared cache and data and all was fine. doh!
hi
after i the new market installed automatically now its not working and show force close , when i uninstall the updates it work .\
any Solution?
thanks.
You can leave the market updates and carry on with an earlier version of the market.
It has the same content, it's just in a different layout. Plus many people prefer the old layout, so you won't be alone.
Or
You can search the thread of the ROM you're using and see if anyone has a fix for this same problem. If you can't find anything, ask in the thread.
You're probably to get better help there, since it's very likely someone else has encountered this same problem with the ROM and replies are a whole lot quicker on there.
Good luck!
i uninstall the updates a few minutes will automatically instal the updates.
thanks.
Im not sure if something funny is going on (Maintenance maybe) as i flashed my phone a week ago and the new market installed fine flashed yesterday and still no auto update to the new style market maybe they pulled the update for the time being? can any one confirm?
If you want, you both could try finding the .apk for the new style market (it'll be on these forums somewhere) and install that over your current one.
I'm not really an expert in this, I'm just advising you based on what I would do.

Well all I can suggest is that you ask in the thread of the ROM you're using.
Thank u , but when i applied revolution Hd Rom the problem solved , i think the problem is in superuser.apk ,
It might not be related but there is a little bug in some of the MIUI roms where the Market crashes which is easily fixed by going to Settings - Language & Input and choosing English (even if the phone is already showing English). It then changes from EN to English (United States) and the problem is solved. It is covered in the FAQ of those roms. You might try something similar for your situation and rom in the future.
[MIUI official]android : 2.3.5
is there any zip to restore the old market? I am afraid that flashing other version of old market will not function at all
the new market is very kiddy and lag, hate it
thanks
you can find it anywhere, however if you still have /system/app/MarketUpdater.apk, then it will upgrade itself again. You can uninstall updates from manage applications but again, it will update almost immediately.

Hi there fellows,
first of all, I wanted to thank all of you for the work you do on our nice phone: Developers, supporters, everyone: You've all been a great help for me
Now I come to a problem I've experienced since a few days (since I updated to FXP152 [CM10], to be exact. Reverting to FXP151/150 didn't solve the problem): "Poweramp Unlocker" just disappeared from my installed apps. This is quite a nasty problem, since I bought the unlocker a while ago and I just love Poweramp! In a few days this problem will get worse as I won't be able to use Poweramp anymore
Here's logcat: [ATTACHED] (package can't be installed to /mnt/asec/com.... for whatever reason)
Here's a screenshot: [ATTACHED] (Translation: Unknown errorcode while installing the app: "-24")
Here's a link to a bug report of which I _THINK_ it could be relevant: [Issue 34880 @ android bug tracker, unfortunately I am not allowed to post links ] (strangely, only the pa unlocker is affected for me, other apps still work fine)
So, if anyone has an idea what I could do now, I'd be very very happy The bug report suggests that it could work to install the apk (without taking the playstore-way). Since I actually bought the app, this could work, right? Does the LicenseChecker-API always return a valid license as long as I bought it, even when I installed the same apk I'd get through playstore myself? And, last but not least, could anyone who bought the app through playstore send me the unlocker apk file so I can try? I already tried to get in touch with the developer, but unfortunately even after 10 emails either he really doesn't understand what my problem is or he's just upset he hasn't the right "pre-defined-answer-emails" and doesn't want to write a new one
Thank you very very much in advance!!
All I can say is that I've experienced the same thing, only way for me too fix it was to wipe everything and reinstall.
