How to Get New Android Market Place – Download Apk
Sometimes small small updates brings a smile for all of the mobile users. Be it a firmware update or any news about an update is just like a spark and we really feel to experience the same as soon as possible and possibly before its made public. We have seen with the Google Plus invites and now with another such thing that is with an all new Android Market Place which has just now got a face lift. Though the last update for the Android Market Place was a mere cosmetic change with a new interface which was not that major but now the new update for the Android Market Place is really refreshing and is much more appealing than ever before. So, in the due course of the article we will see on how you can update your phone so that you will get to use the new Android Market Place even before your friend or fellow Android user gets the same. You can also see that the Android Market Place has also got an all new icon which can be seen in the screen shot below.
Though this update for the Android Market Place is in the beta stages, and is pushed as a final version in some select parts of US, we will tell you on how you can get the swanky new update for your Market Place. This new update for the market Place is dubbed as the version with the version number as 3.0.26 and can be applied to any Android Phone irrespective of the model number and the place from where the phone belongs from. The best part and also the highlight of this new update is that if you have selected an option that is “Automatic Update” then you will get all the updates automatically and you don’t have to again set for automatic updates again which was the case with the older version of Android Market Place.
If you have a look at the new Market Place then its really streamlined and showcases the Android apps in a much more intuitive manner than before and also it gives a whole new lot of options. As soon as the market place opens up you will see that the “Featured” applications section is being shown where you will find a change compared to the previous Android Market version that the applications now shown are in the beautiful icon format than the earlier’s list format which was not that much visually appealing.
From the featured applications, if you have a look towards the left of the screen, you will see “Categories” section wherein you will see that there are many categories which are shown in the list format with a green theme colored pattern. Next towards right, there will be “Featured” section which we saw and after that towards right the next section is the “Top Paid” section wherein you will find all the top paid applications as shown in the screen shot below. All the “Top Paid” applications are shown in the 2 x 2 tiled format which again is a very visually appealing change compared to the earlier version of Android Market Place where everything was in the list format.
Now, after the “Top Paid” section, the next section is the “Top Free” applications section wherein all the applications are shown in the 2 x 2 format where in all the popular applications are shown that are right from Google Plus to the Angry birds to the facebook application, all free applications are listed at this section as the name itself suggests that its a section of free applications.
Next to the Top Free applications, you will see that there is a section called “Top Grossing” where in a mix of Top free as well as Top paid applications are grossed and are listed at this place. You can see the screenshot below wherein the section of Top Grossing section is being shown.
After this there are two new sections which have been added in this version of Android Market Place which are the “Top New Free” as well as the “Trending” sections as you can see in the below screen shot. Also, in these two sections all the applications are listed in the 2 x 2 icon format wherein all the applications are shown in an intuitive icon format unlike earlier’s overall view of the list format where in you had to go through many taps to get into the individual sections, but in this market place, all you need to do is to just slide the glass so as to go through various sections of the applications which are there in the Android Market Place. While in the Top new Free, all the applications which are new are listed here and in the “Trending” section you will gett o see all the applications which are downloaded maximum number of times by the users are being listed in this section as you can see in the below screen shots. So, now lets proceed and check out on how you can update your existing Android Market Place with the new one.
Procedure to Get new Android Market Place:
- First up you will have to download the New Android Market Place Zip file in your computer after which you just need to unzip the same to get the apk file of the new Market. But in the process of extraction you will be prompted to enter the password and you will have to enter the password as androidadvices.com.

Where do i put it on my phone
you can put this at any where in your phone!
What’s the big deal with zipping up stuff with your password? It’s not like as if it’s top secret or sharing confidentiality between friends. If you are honest in dispensing advice, tips and info, do yourself and your fans a favour – save a step for you and me. You don’t need to password it. Unless you get a kick just thinking thousands of fans out there are typing androiddevices.com
sorry for the issue you are facing the problem but the only reason why we use password is to encrypt the file so that you will not have any issues like half or improper file downloads!
No need for encryption to detect corruption – ZIP will tell you if the file is corrupt anyway
we have also rovided a direct apk download link at the end of the article, kindly find for the same and apologies for the inconvenience caused!
Thanx brother….

Hello Neal
Thanks very much for the article on Market. I installed it without flawlessly on my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000T. It looks good, but seems to drain more data and memory for its new interface – even though I love it.
I could not find any .apk file
Nice application
Hi. i just updated this on my SGS I9000 (2.3.4 xxjvq, on bell) and now i have an error popping up that i do not have enough room on my phone to download anything and i have 1.4 gigs available.

I attempted this and cleared my cookies etc but still I’m led astray.
Dissappointed!

You can try out using the WinZip Mac Edition application for unzipping zip files on Apple Mac based computers.

every android phone comes with the market place! Which version of fw you are on now!?
I have the same problem with my new Samsung Galaxy S…it didnt come with market…also installed the new market but its not working

one more thing my friend bought this phone after me and the market apk was there.
may be it is update on mobile.
is there any solution without rooting the mobile.
WHICH Phone you are using and on which fw version your phone is on now currently?

Am unable to open the unzipped file in my Samsung galaxy s runnin 2.1 – update1. Says Parse error – There is a problem parsing the package. Plz help.
you can now download the direct apk file in the article!
Hi Neal
As usual from your simplified instructions, I managed a flawless installation of the new “Market”. The improvement is amazing. As soon as I opened the market after installing this update, eight of my installed applications, bought and free, indicated they had updates. I wonder why the other interface did not detect that these updates were available.
Anyway, I am wondering how I managed before I discovered this site. Of the numerous other Android/Samsung sites [and there many, believe me] in the net, this is the most functional for me. Keep up with the good work
thanks jimmy for your kind words and appreciation, we look forward for your continued support and do let us know if you need any more help for your Android!
didn’t work on X10i 2.1 update 1
Unknown sources are allowed, Help me Sir please
Thank you very much for this…. it works perfectly well… nd d new market app is designed very beautifully…
Unfortunately I cannot unzip the file with Mac! Can you help
Thanks and regards,
Charly
You need to try using winzip for mac
since the update some apps descriptions ect… are not in english, ie. gosmspro, is there any way to fix this?? i want to force every thing to english for me. is that possible?
the new market is in English only, wats the exact issue?
The New Android Market Place apk does not install on my Flytouch 3. Does it work on tablets at all? Any ideas what I could do to get it to work? And yes, I am rooted. Grateful to any suggestions. Thanks!
you will have to wait for the same to get an automatic update push!
Hey what weather widget is that and wallpaper? it looks great
it is the Android Market Place!
Thanks for this.
The first commenter asked where to put this on the phone and the response was, anywhere on the phone. Errr … OK. I’m a newb to the world of Android. So, assuming I put it ‘anywhere’, then what do I do with it. Can these apk files be run like an app. How do you run it on the phone to run the install?
Not to be too much of a fear monter here, but wouldn’t the android marketplace app be a perfect vector for malware? I don’t know the folks at androiddevices and no doubt this is on the up and up. But still, shouldn’t this, of all apps, be an app you wait to get from Google. If they knock out your marektplace with this and replace it with some kind of malware, a typical new probably wouldn’t know how to get the original marketplace back. But I suppose the logical answer to this one is, a newb shouldn’t be attempting this anyway.
OK, I guess I answered my own question. User beware. But I would still like an answer to the apk question if someone is willing. Thanks.

wow its good .ur work is so so good .help us all who love to change better .thanks .and thanks a lot .when i buy my phone i have yellow mark on my oppning page.but with ur help its gone man.my phone it running like a free bird.i fell good too thanks for helping us all.the android market is looking cool.

hey 1 q is it for sgs2 or sgs .i have sgs2 and i download it .but all the comment i see sgs they talking about ????????
you can download this market on just any phone!
Ok so this game app I want so bad called zombieville usa is not on my Android market and Iven went to the official Android market on my phone and it said it was incompatible with my device??? Wtf?? So if I update my market would it appear??? Any suggestions??
no, it won’t be. may i know which phone you are using!!
just a tip, download a qr code scanner from the market, then go to http://qrcode.kaywa.com/ and enter
androidadvices.com/downloads/com.android.vendingAAD.apk where it says url, then scan the code on your phone, this way you dont have to connect your phone to your computer
how long do you think it will be before this is released to the masses?
this has rolled out in US and will soon roll out in other parts as well!

Hi I downloaded the marketplace apk file from , it’s the same file, but When i downloaded it and installed it on my phone (galaxy s2, from china) and i open it, it opens and says i need to add an account for device to continue…whether i click yes or no, the program just shuts off…is there something wrong that i did? my phone is not rooted, does that affect it? any help would be appreciated!
no it will not affect…
:[ okay do you think if i root my phone, the market place could actually work?
no need to root, you can enjoy market place easily, just download apk and install the same in your phone!
Pradeep didn’t actually answer your question. I have the same problem with the same phone in China
I don’t know how stupid market place is that this shit doesn’t come installed by default
Neal Why don’t you properly answer someone except by saying ‘yeah just download the file’. The dude in china JUST downloaded the file why don’t you take a second to read it
any error it gives while updating with this apk?
Thank you so much for this! It’s Awesome
The Galaxy S is my first smart phone. I downloaded the ” Direct APK Download- new android market place” to my computer, I used USB (Samsung) connect to my phone, and used Kies program to add file to connected devices- internal memory, after I have done that, there wasn’t anything happened. I don’t know where to go to open and install the file. Please, Please!
you need to copy that apk in your phone and then you need to open the same to install!
I didn’t have to do any of that crazy crap. It just magically appeared.
nice its work
I followed the directions, copied it onto my phone. Now I opened the Marketplace and it didn’t update. I double checked to see if the APK file was on there, and it was. Help would be heavily appreciated. Thankss (:
Hi Neal,
I recently purchased an european unlocked Samsung Galaxy S2. For some reason it did not come with the Android Market App icon. I bumped into your web and followed ur instructions, but after downloading it, it doesn’t run and shows the following message: Sorry! The application MARKET (processcom.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Do you believe there is a way I could make it work on this phone?
By the way, my Samsung Galaxy S2 is running on the latest version (I believe): 2.3.4. I am located in USA.
you can download this market place!
I opened the file but it has that an error occured while opening the file..How can I fix it?

apk file is there at the end of the article!
I’ve found whilst updating a couple of apps, when I click on update, it takes me to the Open screen instead of install. Therefore, the new app update is not installed. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled from the Market and it was still the old version. I assumed there was something wrong with the Market. Therefore I went to settings, clicked on the Market app, cleared data and cache.. Then i reinstalled the app and I got the new version. Has anyone else found this?
install with the 3.3.12 version of firmware!
I downloaded the file and followed the instructions- only to get the same error message once trying to open Market again. People suggesting to download this and that app- dudes, Market is NOT working that’s why I am here!
I have a Galaxy Gio and any help would be appreciated!
which is the error message?
where can i put this on my galaxy mini
you can copy the same in your phone!
where di i put this on my galaxy mini
