Root Themed Android Market

You guys should uninstall the market update to v2.3.2 before applying the modded market.

I'm using a black market that I modded myself and it's working fine on Fission 2.6.1, and it worked fine on Liberty 1.5.......It didn't work on ApeX 1.4.0, but I am trying it again as we speak on ApeX :D
 
I downloaded and installed one of the theme markets from above via recovery and install zip file and went through the whole deal and rebooted and still had stock market. Don't know what happened there, but it didn't take. Guess I will have to go the .apk route next.
 
I have used 3 different versions of those themed markets on 3 different ROM's and they all installed with no issues at all.

All I did was bootstrap, mount system, install zip, reboot. No issues at all on Apex 1.4.1, Liberty 1.5, and DarkSlide v4.2. Going to try it on my freshly installed Fission now.

Don't like the way the stock 2.3.2 market looks? Change it to one of the selections at this link......

[APP]::20-02-11::NEW Themed Market 2.3.2:: Honeycomb versions & 2 whites added::: - xda-developers

They are supposed to work on any ROM except for stock. There is pretty much one there that should work for any theme you are running. I have used them on Liberty 1.5, Apex 1.4, and DS v4.2 with no problems.

This finally worked for me. Themed Market is now 2.3.3 the flash did not work but this worked.


Hey this great! Thank you so much for this!

For those with a Droid X, including me, flashing the .zip might not work, at least no one over on droidxforums.com can get it to work!

So here is the next best solution!

And make sure before you do anything, rename the original Vending.apk to .bak so you have a backup!

Download the Market.zip that you want, place in root of your SD card, using Root Explorer, navigate to your SD card, and select the zip, navigate /system/app/vending.apk within the .zip, and long press on it, and select extract. In the root of your SD card will be a new folder named "extracted." Navigate to it, long press on the new Vending.apk copy, then navigate back to /system/app and paste it, then long press, change permissions to rw-r--r--, reboot phone and presto! Good to go!

You can probably extract the Vending.apk on your computer and place it in your SD card and move it to the appropriate location, just make sure the permissions are correct!

So did the market you downloaded from the link (v2.3.2) you posted work on Fission 2.6.1 straight without any extra steps?

I'm guessing there were issues with 2.3.2, so 2.3.3 was released.....it doesn't make sense otherwise why the version numbers are so close.....at least that's what makes sense to me.
 
I just did my version of the Black Market v2.3.3 (no one tell Steven58, he will report me :p) if anyone wants it I can post it up.

While it took 3 tries to get Fission to install correctly (not sure why) I used the green/black version and it installed 1st time without issue. The market on all 6 of my phones remains on 2.3.2.

I think you had issues because you were trying to go from v2.2.7 to v2.3.2. If you would have tried going from v2.2.11 to v2.3.2, you would have been fine.

Mine didn't update to v2.3.3, I chose to do so myself :D

EDIT:
The only ROM I've had issues with installing themed markets is ApeX 1.4.0 for some reason.

Oooo... What is the difference between this and 2.3.2? Any chance of a stock market?

If not no worries, I will take what I can get lol.

Thanks as always brother!

I'm not sure what the difference is, I just don't want it updating on me on it's own :D

Here's the stock market v2.3.3:

No, it should overwrite your current market completely.
