I know people have been having issues getting this to work on cm6, I found a method that ALMOST works if someone can help me expand on this.
I thought maybe it had something to do with the phone being s-on, so it couldn't upgrade properly, so I force removed the existing market app via titanium with the recovery exploit that it uses with s-on phones, and then installed it through the app manager like I would any other app. It took a long time but it eventually installed, but the glitches were so extensive it was unusable. It opens the app, and displays the UI elements fine, but if you do anything aside from navigate and search, it force closes. If you try to open an app's link up, it force closes. Attempting to go to "my apps" force closes it.
I was thinking maybe it either had something to do with the fact that it needs the old market to update to the new one, like it's an update patch, not a full app. The other thing I was thinking was that it wasn't working because it installed to /data/app, like a user app, not to /system/app like the normal market.
Would it work to adb install or adb push the apk to /system/app rather than install it as a user app do you think? I would really love to get the new market working on cm6.
SOLUTION:
All thanks to KCRic; he has posted the flashable zips for the new market, which I re-attached in the OP.

There you go, just flash them through clockwork recovery, they should work just fine.
I'm on cm6.1 and used the recovery zip file that is floating around and installed and use it with no problems at all

You don't even need the recovery zip. It works perfectly fine just installing manually.
While in recovery just plug your phone in, go into adb shell and install it from there.
"cp (Location of app) /system/app/"
IE for me I put "cp /sdcard/download/android_market.apk /system/app/" and it worked.
I didn't do anything to the original market.
All I did was apply any zip from sdcard in clockwork..no adb needed

If you renamed the apk to a zip, you're doing it wrong.
If you downloaded the update zip containing the apk, it's wherever you downloaded it.
Its in the them and app section under new market app..
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Yeah I never found a flashable zip, I just found an apk in the apps section. Which doesn't work. If someone could post a link to the flashable zip that'd be cool. I don't have access to a USB cable right now so adb isn't a very good option haha.
Edit: nevermind, found it on the second page of the thread, here's the direct link to the zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?w7hcd0uadlndnwd, it works great, no more force closes everywhere like I was getting before
I found a flashable zip from a diff source so problem solved. But how do you change a .apk to a .zip if not simply renaming?

You have to create an update package with the apk inside zip_file.zip/system/app/apk.apk and you have to put an update script into meta-inf/android/blah blah blah, google it, I've forgotten, only had to do it once, I'm sure there's a tutorial out there if someone here can't directly answer you

here you go how to make a flashable package
Here you go, this should work - feel free to post in the OP if it's useful to anyone still trying to install it.
I'm going to remove all the hdpi files from the apk (since we don't need them, it will save space) and poat that version up in a bit. I'll test it first to make sure it will still work.
Added 'tiny' market install zip
For those that don't know, you go into clockwork recovery - select 'install zip from sdcard' - find the zip and install it. Reboot and enjoy.

Ok, sounds good. I'm testing the 'tiny' version now and I'll update that post with the file if it works. Removing the files didn't drop the size much (~0.3MB) but smaller is still always better.
EDIT: Added tiny zip to that post, work flawlessly
*The smaller version has hdpi file removed and all languages removed except english (US). If you use another language use the larger version or shoot me a PM and I'll try to get you a small version in your language.
Edited the OP, included info, should all be good to go
Also, would this market work on eclair? The version is 2.2.6 so I'm thinking not, since it has froyo elements like auto app update, etc.
Edit: shortly after I installed cr_mod the market auto updated, but it did so to version 2.2.7, not 2.2.6. So yes, the new market does work on eclair, with auto updating. Kickass. If you'd all like I can pull the apk from my phone and post it if no one has it? Although aside from cm users everyone should be getting updated, I think.

I have no idea, but honestly I'm thrilled to have the new market AND auto update functionality on eclair. It was also nice that I didn't even have to flash anything, it updated itself. I had heard that the auto update worked fine with sense ROMs, only people running CM were having issues. You're probably right, it's probably an edited version for eclair. But cr_mod still has gmail v1, I really wish I could get version 2.3 :/ old gmail sucks. I'm going to try and just pull the apk and upgrade it with an app manager from one of the gapps packages, but I'm not sure, since google apps on sense roms is different.
Well stock android will generally always work on sense roms, just not the other way around. The issue you may run into are differences in os versions (2.1 vs 2.2.1). But with gapps it's usually not an issue, at least not yet since the versions aren't too far apart.

I actually googled around a bit, the gmail that's in the market, which is 2.3 at the moment, and before that 2.2.1, only shows up on froyo, since that's all it works on. Eclair and below are all stuck with version 1 :/
I'm pretty sure HTC loads gapps in a different way because there is actually a googleapps.apk or gapps.apk in /system/app, the flashable package just has all of the apks. I tried to open the flashable zip with astro and browse to gmail.apk and see if it would upgrade but it wouldn't parse the package. I could TRY flashing the eclair gapps and see if that works, but I'll definitely do a nandroid first. I guess I'll try that and post back.
I love how my threads always end up venturing off topic. I kind of "hijack" my own threads in a sense
This mod will backup your apps and auto update the backup on your sdcard at every boot.
Backup apps and data
Flash zip
Open terminal and type su
Then type bak
Follow onscreen instructions
After you do a restore you must reboot or do a hot restart before the apps will show in the menu.
Before installing a new rom just reboot one time to update your backup or do it manually with the script, then after you install your new rom flash this again and restore.
This uses init.d
Now it syncs files instead of using 7zip using rsync. Thanks to dodava for the info and download of rsync it's a much more efficient way to do it.
It also syncs data and settings now but some settings cannot be restored so it excludes those. It keeps your system settings but not accounts like google you have to make those again if you change roms. It does keep app data for installed apps.
Backups are located at /sdcard/appsbak
Please post question/comments/problems here.
If you use this in your rom please leave the creds in the files, Thank You.
Will NOT work with aosp roms sorry...
Awesome, will give it a shot. Thanks!
I tested this for the MT4G before the release, it works great just follow the instructions listed.
Just In Case:
In Terminal Emu type: ( SU # bak )then follow instructions.
It's fixed now...

Not yet, this actually took some time to get this working on the MT4G from the Evo 3D do to the fact he doesn't have the phone but there will be more added in the near future. This does a great job at updating the zip for newer versions of apps installed and clears what you delete apon reboot, the good thing about it is holding on to what you actually use without fear of losing apps say something happens with the device.
Good job

I will be adding apps data and account info to it. Just have to do some testing, and make sure it all works properly. I will be switching to rsync as well instead of 7zip. Right now i can backup all of the data in /data/data which has all your settings and app data may be good enough to restore i'll try and see.

[Q] JMT 6 - Anyone able to get Mobile Print out of the "Goodybag" app to install?
Edit - Meant to say Mobile Print app out of the Goodybag.
First - Great ROM. I've used the last three versions, and so far, it's been a keeper. :good:
Second - I did the usual: Flashed new version over previous version. Tried to install the app, afterwards. When it didn't install, I performed a wipe using TWRP. When that didn't work, I did a fresh install (Complete wipe using Infamous followed by a TWRP wipe then followed by an install of JMT 6).
I haven't had any other issues with this ROM. I just saw this app in PTMR's goodybag, and it would be nice if I could use it.
Actually, there is one more thing: Anyone been able to get Smart Stay to work?
You should be able to extract the Apk from the prior rom's zip and then install it on the new version. If it's one that needs to be installed as a system app, you will need to use a root explorer app to set the permissions.

The app didn't exist in the prior version. The "Goodybag" is additional apps that can be loaded after the ROM installation. Granted, a few apps were included on previous ROM versions, but Mobile Print wasn't one of them.
I've already tried the side install method to make it a system app. Checked permissions, etc. App still won't install.

Oh well. I'll need to email PTMR3 about this. (Been trying to get past the 10 post minimum so I can post directly in the development threads. If it weren't for that, I could ask PTMR3 in his thread. lol.) Thanks for your input, anyway. It's appreciated.
Well, I found out that this app only works with Samsung printers and the app itself is available on the Play Store. Since I don't have a Samsung printer, I'm not going to concern myself with this, anymore.
How do we load the items in the goodybag? I downloaded 3 items and tried to load the from zip via CWM but it ended up getting my phone stuck in a boot loop. I ended up having to flash JMT all over again and start from scratch. Obviously I did something wrong. I've searched all over the forums and all I can find is something about using Aroma to install them, but the process looks confusing.

I just installed Hyperdrive rls14 and Google search crashes every time I try to use it.
I've rebooted, reflashed the rom, clean flash, wiped everything, removed Google search with Rom toolbox and reinstalled it fresh from the Play store. Nothing seems to work.
I love the rom, and want to keep it. I use Googe now a ton though, so I'm stuck here.
Google search is a system app so if you use rom toolbox it will not delete it from the system. Using a root explorer go into system apps and delete it. Reboot, this reboot is very important to do. After rebooting the phone go back in using root explorer make sure it's still gone. Then redownload from play store and install.

Did you check the MD5 Checksum of the Rom before Flashing ? I would suggest downloading the Rom again. Check the MD5 Checksum to verify a good DL. The Full Wipe, and Flash.

You may be missing chaton or chaton v. I installed this app from the market, S-Voice calls on this app to work. You still needs to follow all the steps listed above to remove google now with a root browser. I used rom toolbox pro and that did the trick for me.

Running this on my phone. It was kind of wonky at first but after 2-3 wipes/flashes this is the best ROM I have ever run on this phone.
If you get tons of force closes, no root, and can't seem to download anything wipe and re flash.

Test builds V4 is running great, ive been running it for 2 days and ive had 0 FC's! just camera doesnt work, but you can download an alternate camera from the play store (nexus camera or camera zoom FX works for me). All you have to do before flashing is modifying the "updater script", open and edit the updater script and just replace all "d2att" with "d2tmo", save changes. Do a clean flash. I use the usual apps (fb, tw, whatsapp, a couple basic games) and everything works well. I dont use any apps that use the camera (vine, instagram, etc) so I cant report on those. No need to flash a kernel or different radio.
V5 is working fine for me. Everything works except video recording(pictures work with Nexus Camera) and cast screen on Chromecast. I tried the fix for the Nexus 7 but it disconnects immediately.
I used es file manager changed all d2att to d2tmo and reziped the file and still won't flash. What am i doing wrong?

I tried editing the update script using root explorer, and it did the editing. however, when I moved/copy and paste the edited update script back to the Rom zip, it would move the original/unedited update script. So this is what I did: I extracted the update script and edited with root explorer, then I emailed the edited update script to myself, then I open the rom with 7-zip on my computer and replaced the original update script with the one I edited, saved the zip to my desktop. I then proceed to flash and it worked perfectly.

I rather not, for some reason the guy who put together the zip took down the thread and his account is suspended, who knows what happened. Its very easy to modify tho, give it a try.

The current build is build 5 dated 11/25. It works better than build 4. You can use a few different cameras but stock camera still not working right. If you use Philz touch recovery you don't need to modify the script, it will flash just fine. It will say your phone is an i747 but that is just cosmetic it changes nothing with functionality like data or calls, etc. Because this is just a software rom and doesn't change anything hardware specific.

Where is the download link? I have been looking all over the place for CM12 on T999
I tried changing all the d2att to d2tmo and it is all changed but when I try to flash it, it gets a couple fail messages about mounting something and then I try to reboot it gets stuck in bootloop.
When I try to flash without changing the d2att it won't even flash.
Anyone got V5?
