ICS version of the Android Market Version 3.2.0 Available for Download

[dgstorm]

The newest 3.2.0 version of the Android Market was "made available" over the weekend to some our friends at Droid-Life. This .apk supposedly comes from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which means it is Ice Cream Sandwich compatible. It has some unique installation instructions so pay close attention. Here they are:

Instructions:

*The .apk will not install like you are normally accustomed to. Instead, you will need to be rooted and follow the instructions below.

1. Download the file from above (Phonesky.apk) to your SD card.
2. In Root Explorer, find the file you just downloaded and copy it.
3. Move into /system/app and hit the R/W button to mount – then paste the file.
4. Find Vending.apk and rename it to something like Vending.apk1.
5. Long press on Phonesky.apk and rename it to Vending.apk.
6. Afterwards, long press on it again and choose “Permissions.”
7. Change the permissions to this:
8. Press “OK”, reboot and enjoy the new market.

Here's the download link: Phonesky.apk

Lets see if this one goes to the top of the list after clicking on an app while scrolling though a huge list. :icon_evil:


OH MAN! I forgot I unrooted my phone. oh well...

Why do I have to be rooted to d/l and install this...? B/c it came from Nexus? I'll wait.... My Bionic is still stock.

How can you smile when you can say stock?

All jokes aside though, enjoy your bionic!

I thought I was seeing this on my unrooted OG Droid before I got the Bionic.

Yeah I think this is not the ICS market. This is the same market that was on my TB and the same one that is on my Bionic.

I've been running Froyo for a while, so I may have missed this update. Just installed the new Liquid Rom made with Gingerbread and this version of the Market was on it already. Quite different from what I expected to see. Nice. Strange to see movie rentals though.

will this work on droid 3 Steel Droid V 2.0...or specifically just ICS OS phones

Edit: Followed instructions and worked like a charm

Thanks for the screenshot!

Looking at the file size, this one is 2.46 MB whereas the previous version is 3.33 MB. I haven't really noticed any other differences yet though.
