It's only been a day since the Android team announced the rollout for the Android Market update, which would bring new app categories, new developer options, and a sleeker interface -- but leave it to the Android community to get ahold of the updated package early.
The APK was posted in a thread at the XDA Developers forum, and was promptly put to the test by dozens of devs and users alike. Before we go any further, please heed this warning: playing with system software like this could result in an unusable market app (or worse), so be sure you know what you're doing before you try, and always back up your phone first!
Users who have not flashed their phones with custom ROMs should be able to install the APK with minimal effort, but there are just as many reports of the app force-closing as there are of it running. Many users have had to reflash their phones with a backup just to get a working Market again. For example, I use CyanogenMod on my phone, so I wasn't able to simply install the APK through the usual means (it simply would not install).
Many other users had the same problem, as running custom ROMs is one of the best things about owning an Android phone, so it wasn't long before somebody repackaged the APK as an "update" ZIP for those users to flash onto their phones instead, using tools like ROM Manager. I did this, using the update file from this post in the above-mentioned thread, and it worked perfectly.
More info and screenshot-gallery after the break.
