How To Get the New Android Market on Your Phone
I. Before You Begin
1. If the apk doesn’t work for you you can easily uninstall it like any other app.
2. This apk is touchy and doesn’t work on all phones, so give it a try.
3. IF the apk doesn’t work, try the update.zip format and flash it via recovery.
4. THIS ONLY WORKS ON ANDROID 2.2 DEVICES!
II. Download and Install the APK
1. Download the New Android Market 2.2.6
2. Plug your phone in via USB cable and mount the sd card so you can transfer files to it.
3. Copy the .apk file to the root of the sd card (NOT in any folder, just on the sd card itself).
4. Unplug the phone.
5. Download a File Manager from the Market (Linda File Manager Free is good).
6. Open the Linda File Manager and navigate to the SD card and click on the .apk and follow the prompts to install it.
7. Enjoy!

Cool, much faster. Unfortunately, still didn’t implement a sort feature which blows. The app “app brain” searched the market and has sort features. Real nice. Overall still great due to speed increase.
Try the new flashable file via recovery.

Tried both installation techniques on my rooted Hero running cyanogen 6.1,neither worked. Opens then closes out. Any suggestions?
Try the flashable via recovery one.
how do i flash via recovery one
Same way you flash a ROM. Put it on your sdcard, boot into recovery, then apply the .zip.

let me know that it will work on xperia x10 (Android 2.1)
hey when will i get the auto update?…(2.2 Frozen Yogurt)
i can’t use it on my phone as i can’t put sd cards in my phone i have no slot on it to put them in i wish you could just send the market to your phone by saying what your mobile number is and them smsing it to you or you could do it on your computer.
It crashes on my HTC Wildfire. I have no idea how to “update zip format, flash this via recovery,” can someone explain this step? Thanx
