finally I've found how to upgrade my market app (installed with 20101020 google apps).

here's how i've upgrade from 1.8.2 to 2.2.11 on cm 6.1.1 on n1:
- downloaded "zipsigner" (from market, of course)
- select the new market apk (the one that didn't install and fc if flashed througt zip file)
- select "platform" as key/mode
- sign the file

the result apk can be finally installed (no flash, just launch)

all the credits goes to phrozen87 and to kellinwood (zipsigner author)

I think lot of people are waiting for this

This did not work for me.  Still FC on every open, even tried fix permissions.

did you upgrade from a working old version or trying to fix a non-working installation?

post your fc logcat, is this your error:

E/DatabaseUtils(  333): java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: writing com.google.android.gsf.settings.GoogleSettingsProvider uri content://com.google.settings/partner from pid=1202, uid=10044 requires com.google.android.providers.settings.permission.WRITE_GSETTINGS

?

I have an old version that works (somewhat) it fc everytime I install a new program.  Not sure how to post a fc logcat, let me know and I will.

if you have the sdk configured just type "adb logcat" on your command line, but if you don't have just search for "logcat" in the market, there are many application that allow you to send the entire logcat (you have to search the point where the market close...)

Here is the original error that I get when installing a new program and the market FC after install

E/DatabaseUtils(  432): java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: writing com.google.android.gsf.settings.GoogleSettingsProvider uri content://com.google.settings/partner from pid=1419, uid=10135 requires com.google.android.providers.settings.permission.WRITE_GSETTINGS

Then, using the resigned zip I try the new market and get

E/DatabaseUtils(  401): java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: writing com.google.android.gsf.settings.GoogleSettingsProvider uri content://com.google.settings/partner from pid=1262, uid=10135 requires com.google.android.providers.settings.permission.WRITE_GSETTINGS

None of that worked.   I ended up wiping everything to try and put CM7 on it and then went back to 6.1.1 and it ended up working fine...weird...

But if I try and install the new market I get the same problem.  If i downgrade to the old market, the problem follows me...oh well, I'll just wait for CM7 to get the new market.

my market didn't force close before trying this. everything works fine now. i've been trying to get the new market running for a while ...

thanks for the solution c3k!! it's greatly appreciated  


edit: pushed the signed Vending.apk to /system/app/ (after uninstalling the update of course) ... still working like a charm

This method seriously doesn't solve the issue for some users, sadly.

Thank you! I can confirm that the new market works for me using this fix. alogcat showed the error I was running into to be:


E/DatabaseUtils(  333): java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: writing com.google.android.gsf.settings.GoogleSettingsProvider uri content://com.google.settings/partner from pid=1495, uid=10032 requires com.google.android.providers.settings.permission.WRITE_GSETTINGS

which is actually the same error as posted by others (with my pid and uid etc...). All I did was to sign using the platform key, navigate to the new apk using astro and install it. It did not require any reboot, and worked right off the bat.
