FOR THOSE ON APEX RC2 (or having issues installing)
FOR THOSE OF US ON APEX (or having any difficulty).
1. Using Root Explorer, take you old Market (Vending.apk) and make a backup of it - copy it onto you sdcard somewhere.
1a. I also recomend making a nandroid JIC.
3. Take the new apk rename it Vending.apk.
** The permissions should be
Read - all checked; Write - Owner only (just the first box) and Execute - Nothing
4. Copy or Move the new apk to your /systems/app/ directory. Overwrite the old apk.
5. Once you do that reboot your phone (turn it off then back on). Once booted you should have the new Market up and running.
This is what I did and it is working w/o any problems on my Droid X, running Apex RC2.

What happens after you reboot the phone? Do you have a market at all or the old market?
Did you try deleting the old vending first? How about installing the apk after you fixed the permissions? Are you remembering to put the phone as writable?
Yea i got mine. Heres how you do it. Go into the system folder.
(You are going to have to mount the system as writable/readable or else you wont be able to delete the vending.apk) Then, go into the app folder. Find vending.apk. Delete it. Then try to install the new market. It should work.

Well so far I like it. Could be a little faster IMO. But the stream line is nice. I usually only update from the market and use appbrain to check out new apps. So I am hoping the speed of opening will get a little faster.
Try installing from the .zip file on this thread. I wasn't able to install from the APK onto my X with Rubix Focused, but the .ZIP installation through clockwork worked good!
Confirmed the movies do not elem pg. rooted phones. The good news is that out would not even let me rent once at all so no issues with having to refund.
