Speed fix for Froyo Roms on MARKET
After playing with alot of Roms one thing i noticed is the incredible slow speed of market loads and searching. LeeDROID rom has excellent market speeds. The attached file is a grab of Market files from the LeeDROID rom and then packaged up to flash.
This has been tried on multiple roms and gives EXCELLENT SPEED WITH LOADING, SEARCHING and even DOWNLOADING. It is also know to give you back that illusive PAID TAB in some instances (has worked for me every time)
Give it a go and let us know what you think. Countrys with no paid apps may not add the paid tab.
Also once rebooted it may take half hour to sync up with Google before you notice the speed. But once its going it is alot faster
ENJOY!!
Install - Flash zip from Recovery or ROM Manager
of course always nandroid first before flashing anything.
I take no responsability for bricks
Big thanks to LeeDroid (and congrats on the new baby) and also dancedreamfly for helping with packaging

any feedback if people are noticing the speed difference here
Does it actually remove the Market or can it work alongside (for comaprison purposes it would be useful to download the same app within each)

it replaces it, could nandroid and compare your two different roms, but if you was suffering from slow market you will notice the speed anyway
Anyone tried this?

I did, LeeDroid 1.6 ROM. It is fast but I honestly don't remember if old market was slow, sorry. But I don't see Paid Apps Tab.

i couldnt tell you, i have only ever tried on Sense Roms, Previous users have told me it worked on non sense roms such as Defrost so I should imagine it would work fine as it doesnt edit any of the framework of the rom.
Ill try it tonight and see but if you wanna have a go nandroid it first and let me know the results
what's the MACOSX folder?
No paid apps on djdroid.UK network..but its super fast and is now giving me the option to auto update my apps

is anyone else using the xda app here I can't get it to do much of anything once I log in.
Since updating to 2.0.71 from 1.0.84 the xda app has been pretty much useless.
It force closes often while trying to view threads and ALWAYS force closes on exit if I'm logged in so it loses the login data. Start up time is also excessive.
Had no problems on the 2.1 firmware whatsoever.
Market problem? Firmware problem? App problem?
Confirmed... alas, it didn't work from the start, even with 2.1.
Same problems here.

It never worked for me, either. I remember with my Eris that when we got Froyo we had to use an older version of XDA for a while. My first Archos died before i could investigate, and i just got my replacement yesterday. I will try to find an older version.
If anyone has an older one they could post...Im too scared to search the XDA forums with any of these keywords "xda, apk, developer, application"...
Xda app is never work once I logged in, failed.
I use tapatalk, working perfectly on my A70IT. Xda app is based on tapatalk, it looks identical.
doesnt work for me too
Works GREAT for me every time

Thanks, that certainly works better! Although, with this version theres no favourite forum feature? So you have to navigate to the required forum each time - unless I'm missing something?

It works fine as long as you don't sign in.
No good for me either. Constat force close
I have two Android tablets, an Archos 101 and a Zenithink ZT-180. Neither one works with the newer XDA application - FC after a few clicks. This older version does run, though devoid of most features that makes it useful. Is anyone embarassed?
Bye.
It's a shame,the new version is so much better,the old version works but lacks off all the practical features ,is this apply even in further development or is it frozen.
New on here .
Xda app works perfect on my desire, but the app fails every time on my archos 70 as soon as i sign in .

Hi there! Just saw that theres a new market for android and thought id start a thread where everyone could share their opinion!
http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-android-market-for-phones-with.html
New market:
http://www.4shared.com/file/We4ubY3v/comandroidvending-1.html
Old market (from gapps-gb-20110613-signed_rc1):
http://www.4shared.com/file/jpMBtIzA/Vending.html
for me, the new market look is really neat, the way things organized is better than just lists like the previous one.
but at the first use, it might take a while since the market needs to cache the images first, but downloads now are top notch
Aside from the look -- like it or hate it -- had trouble with search locating apps.
actually i liked the old one better because of its simplicity and the new one lags until it has loaded the pics. it will take some time to get used to it. but well see
Looks good but slow and fc must if the time.

Same idea. The old one is clear and more stable.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Yes, old one is better.
Old one was more faster. I miss too while i'm looking for some, while tiping, no hits come on the new market. But it is more kind and i think it have a better organize from the app's.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
The new version of Market looks good but slower than the older version. I think I'll keep using the older version until google improve the stability of new Market.
The old market is better and faster the New one is to complicated to find apps
Send from my brain using Tapatalk
I would rather have the old one, when you do a search now you get app, books, and ??? (don't remember) then you have to click again to see the apps. Looked to see if there was an option to not see the books and whatever in the search but I couldn't find it,
I think it is slower and take more clicks to find what you want. Guess I'll just use the web version until they mess it up too.
My wife and I have yet to receive the latest market update.
A bit reluctant to download via the link provided above. Is it safe?

With HTC sense roms, when u sign into Google, it automatically downloads all ur apps from last time my device synced.
When I log into cm7 or miui, it doesn't automatically download any apps.
Is there something that HTC sense rom have that makes the apps download automatically?? If so, is it possible to have that implentes into cm7 or miui?, possibly on ICS as well?

I'm not 100 on this but I do believe the reason for this awesome feature is 'HTC setup wizard'.
And if it is, I'm guessing just like everything else Sense, it wont be able to be ported/used since the framework is different.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
I've flashed 4 different ice roms and only one of them has restored my apparently and also pretty sure its due to that one being the only one with a setup wizard. Wasn't a HTC one though so it is possible if incorporated in the rom

i wish this feature can be implemented into other roms. that is one part about why I dislike AOSP roms. I hate freshly reinstalling all my 50+ apps.

Well Titatium backup has the feature where you can really install all your apps with no prompts.
Its what I always use anyways. I feel the market way is too slow.

anyone tried S Voice with the Desire yet?
it installs on ICS so I think it might work
original: http://minus.com/llX3TROSRO4NH
fixed to work on unauthorized devices: http://minus.com/lCWshD37drA9R
Tested it now. Might be best skipping the intro and it fc when trying to change the wake command. Also double tap home didn't work for me either.
Clear data if you have fc on start up. But it does work. Can google search and text etc.

i've used the new one for checking the weather for location, sending text and calling - all seems to work well.
I install S-Voice from the apk from frandroid.com
And it works, open apk, understand french language...
I hope this apk will mature quickly
on HTC desire the installaton crash but, after a reboot, it works
nice one!
I do not have a crash during installation.
I'm on ics 4.0.4 bravo cyanogen mod 9 RC 3.4.U1.
And it works.
Does someone test http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673354 on HTC Desire ?
Tried the first APK, but it wasn't for me.
Also it's weird to say 'Hi Galaxy' to desire.
I suggest to wait for a year or so, so that developers can stabilize the system
work
The fix S voice apk and Spanish language works well for me.
I have 2 days with him and I am testing it

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
