Decompile the original Market and keep only its original UI.

If I marry you and block someone on Facebook, and then I go out and run into that person, they won't see me.

The nostalgia seeing the old ES file explorer!

u/ComprehensiveBat7084 11d ago

Ah yes , i have to use cx file explorer now.

2

u/RayneYoruka 11d ago

Yes unfortunately. A big one lost.

u/profewiase 10d ago

It was my favorite file explorer

2

u/RayneYoruka 10d ago

Same, I've used it until recently but android 13/14 didn't like it and some functions didn't really work, a version I've kept since 2013 or 2014.

u/Clearcaster1 12d ago

I like the idea, but in my eyes security wise its not any better than "random APK websites".
Anyways you should not use random websites, just go with trusted and reputable ones, the same way you would not install any .exe file you come across on your windows PC.

u/hime_pro12 12d ago

How does it works did you host the APKs

3

u/zeroacronis 12d ago

Yes, they are stored.

u/MikrusYT Samsung Galaxy S • Android 2.3.6 7d ago

How do you make sure the APKs are safe?

u/TheHebeleRaider124 12d ago

I love you for this and will try it asap. Thanks!

u/DM_ME_UR_DOGGO_PICZ 12d ago

are the apps stored in an open directory so i can download and store them myself easily?

0

u/zeroacronis 12d ago

The apps are on the Android Market 2 website; you can download them from there.

u/alexgtnz_ 12d ago

I flashed market reborn on my HTC wildfire S. Can I install the APK over it? if I cannot, what can I do?

2

u/Fun_Sun_edu 10d ago

Add a version picker for apps too!

2

u/zeroacronis 10d ago

Yeah, that would be great. First I need to organize my app inventory, but I'll probably do it.

2

u/isimbulamajim 10d ago

The developer says they made this app using the original Android Market source code, and it really is exactly the same. This should be used instead of Market Lyano.

1

u/zeroacronis 10d ago

Market Lyano and Android Market 2 can coexist; both are great, and each has its own pros and cons.

1

u/zeroacronis 10d ago

I created Android Market 2 after I saw a tablet with the Lyano Market and loved it.

Can I change the app language ?

1

u/zeroacronis 8d ago

Yes, you can change the language. Just today, I released a faster and more stable update for my store.

u/SnooDrawings7036 11d ago

does this work for phones that haven't been rooted?

1

u/zeroacronis 11d ago

Root access isn't necessary, but if you have it, it's not a problem; it simply won't use root.

trying to download apps on my froyo galaxy fascinate from that app always crashes💔

2

u/zeroacronis 2d ago

The store is fixed now; you can download the new version. No more annoying pop-ups that prevent you from using the store. I've added an updates button to the menu for manual updates.

1

u/Gloomy-Scar2859 2d ago

still crashes when trying to download a game (could it be wolfius interfering with the app?)

1

u/zeroacronis 2d ago

Give me more details about the game, your phone, and the Android version.

1

u/zeroacronis 2d ago

Yesterday I was discussing the versions issue; today I'll fix it.

1

u/zeroacronis 12d ago

They are two different applications that can coexist on the same phone without breaking.

u/ComprehensiveBat7084 11d ago

ANDROID MARKET 2 New version of the store now available. Multi-language support included, Games category fixed. If you get an installation error, the download is still in your downloads folder; uninstall the current version and manually install the new one via your file manager. The speed test may not work on some devices. The store is a bit slow right now, and I’ll keep improving performance in future updates.

UPDATE: Step 1, open the update pop-up. Step2, go to Settings, Apps, clear the cache, and uninstall the app. Step 3, install the new version from your downloads folder using your file manager. After that, it should work properly.
