So I updated to FroYo manually thanks to the methods posted here. I've nearly reinstalled all my apps with the exclusion of one; Square. I cannot find it in the market and thought maybe the dev pulled it, but it shows up in 2.1 and web-based market browsers, just not in 2.2. Anyone else experiencing this? Can I just force the apk onto the phone somehow?

Same here.. seems like the copy protected apps are having problems.
This is not root or something else regarded - everyone has these issues.
Regards
Great to hear I'm not alone, but being an early adopter can sometimes blow (in the BAD way) =\
Is this being discussed in another thread? I did a search prior to posting and came up empty
EDIT: Mods, thanks for moving this to the appropriate forum. I've seen mention of this issue appear in various threads, though no thread of it's own. Will wait for devs to catch up with 2.2
I reported the same problem on modaco last night... I'm sure google will enable de protected apps this week, just a slight oversight on their side.
i had same problem, just put them apk on your sd card and install it. if it is being a stubborn app like a certain few just copy/paste or move them to data/private-app and install from in there. should take care of it 4 u.
Same problem here (Tapatalk Pro and Extended Controls missing).
when you create an app you can set a max api level to support, or not.
applications that have that set won't show on newer devices.
exzeus, square, and a few others seem to have done it...
give them about a month or so and you should see them come around.

reporting in for the same problem!
My App ICE Donate wasn't found either.. I removed the copy protection until Froyo is officially listed - it can be found and downloaded again
I'm missing cachemate, I only see the free version and I've check the box for all sources for apps. astro will not install from my backups

This cant be the reason. i did only do signin via edge!
Having the same issue here. Wife's N1 can't find WeatherBug Elite, or the Helix Launcher in the market. Even after reboot.
Same. Paul actually fixes it in his roms by changing the Rom fingerprint. Some of the unofficial nexus updates he integrated did the same thing to protected apps. Once fingerprint was changed, it seemed to have done the magic. I'm guessing that he will do the same next week for froyo.
Same here my paid app wont show up which means I may be losing sales so I'm pissed right now
Yeah, so no MLB app at the moment... which makes me unhappy.
Any word on an official response from Google yet on this issue?

Many thanks to Dizzy's IMEI fix!!!
Great program to get an IMEI number on our NC and allow apps like HBO Go to work.
Great thread (Dizzy's) on this in the Dev forum. It was a little intimidating for this rookie but I figured what the worse that could happen. Took me two tries (cause I had an old Java version) but now I have HBO working, more comfort & knowledge about the NC with ADB, etc.
This forum is fantastic!!!! I knew if I got in trouble there would be help on this forum. Thanks for all you guru's out there who have made this possble.
You're lucky...I can't seem to get it working for the life of me. I altered the framework file using the latest IMEI generator from Dizzy and that worked fine but when I run HBOgo, all I get is the spinning cursor and then an error telling me that "some videos are not available at this time" or something.
I've updated to the latest CM7 release candidate over the weekend hoping that would solve it but nope.
Perhaps my kernel or flash version need updating? I really don't know what the problem is...everything else on the Nook works perfectly.

Have you downloaded the LCD Resolution app? I read a thread here somewhere that said to get that app, then change the density to 160 and check the box that says to do it every time you boot. This makes your market app work a lot better. I was able to get HBO Go from the market after doing this. If it doesn't work for you, I'll post the apk.
Important:
Development on this rom has stopped, please check out sparkman216's rom MIUI D3 rom here. It has more working and I don't have the time required to get everything working on this.

GSM Users:
You need to edit the build.prop located in the system folder. Recommend using winrar
/system/build.prop
Once there, you will open the file and edit it using a word processing program of you choice. Notepad is fine.
Use search/find button till you locate something that says this Default network type. # 4 => CDMA
From there change the 4 to a 3.
Then next to it you will see this ro.telephony.default_network=4, change it to 3.
Also change "ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1" to "ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=0"
This should work, if it doesn't please tell me so I can try and help!

Haha, seems he has themes working if you flash a zip file which is interesting. I believe he could put those files in the rom file and get it working with one flash, but I will see if I can get it to work in one flash. Having Themes working would be great.
Sparky's port is pretty nice actually; I tested a couple of builds, but keep coming back to AOSP, because I'm familiar with it. Sparky is also experimenting with different bases (AOKP and CM9) for the ROM, to maximize battery life. He could definitely lend some assistance. Nice to see yet another option become available for the D3! Keep up the great work!

I'll make a backup of Gummy, and give this a test run tomorrow so I can give you some more accurate feedback. I'm pretty naive when it comes to MIUI, so maybe you could drop some knowledge on me...is there a way to alter/trick the Market, to show it as Verizon? I use apps like Bank of America throughout the day, and I know the MIUI market doesn't display certain apps. If there's a way to get that done, then I'm all in on MIUI!

Changing the build.prop should fix this for some apps, I would look on there site.
http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/apps-not-appearing-on-market.12650/
I will do some more research to find a fix for you later today and try a few things that I think will work.
I may be able to use Market Enabler to switch to VZW. I'll give it a shot tomorrow, and report back on how it works, just in case anyone else is in the same position I am. It wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't work in the financial field, but I end up needing access to US and foreign market info throughout the day, so I need a solid solution in order to use MIUI, and take advantage of the excellent features the ROM offers.

It seems that changing the build.prop will make the android market think it is a different phone, but I would rather not change that, I would give Market Enabler a try first.
I would look into sparky's port over at droid hive. You two should team up as opposed to have competing MIUI ports (IMO). Based on the bug list alone and my running of his work, he has a few things functioning that you do not.
The rotation issue I brought to his attention is that when auto rotation is OFF, it should only display in landscape if the phys keyboard is opened, but it does not. It stays locked in portrait.

What is your fix? I already sent him a message on xda, but he didn't reply yet. I didn't know someone else made an MIUI rom for Droid 3 otherwise I would not have made this one, but since I did, I will continue to work on it. Maybe me and him can team up.

Not sure how I stumbled onto this page, but I am currently using IsaneMod's MIUI port for the Bionic right now, and I had this same problem. A few apps would not appear on the Market, acting as if they were not compatible for the Bionic. I got so frustrated, I flashed another ROM to get all my apps back. Well after missing MIUI on my phone, I flashed it again, thinking I could live without those few apps for a while. Well, I ended up accidentally fixing the market issue. For some reason, I thought you had to flash a Google Apps .zip after flashing the MIUI Rom, so I did. But I was actually incorrect as the Google Apps are a part of the ROM, but when flashed G-apps, I flashed what was supposed to be for an ICS ROM instead, but when I booted up my phone, my market had the apps I was once missing. However, I also lost a few icons for certain apps on my phone. Like the MIUI browser app was gone, and I had the ICS browser app instead; and a few other apps did this as well. They all still worked, but flashing the G-apps from that ICS ROM accidentally fixed my market issues. Yes, it was an unnatural way to fix the problem, but if you can find such a file to flash for MIUI on your phone, it may just fix the problem like mine did - as long as you can live without a few MIUI themed app icons. That is, until this problem is solved a more natural way. Anyways, just thought you might want to try this if you want MIUI on your phone but also need your important apps. I hope I was helpful. Good luck!
fyi, for the themes zip that you have to flash for Sparky's ROM, I did that and applying themes works for the most part...the text is sometimes messed up if the theme has a black text and when applying a theme to the Message app, it only changes the theme when you go into a conversation with somebody, not the inbox AND the conversation like it should
and somtimes the placement of things is a little off, like for the lockscreen i use the slider should be in the middle, but it is off to the left a little bit, probably a screen res issue or something from the port

Thanks, I already tried it and noticed the same thing, you should not have to flash a .zip for it to work though so I was looking for other solutions. I have just got to be missing something.
I see a need for a discussion thread that deals with Ubuntu Touch (preferably on Nexus 4) as a daily driver. There are several threads discussing multi boot, restoring Android etcetera etcetera. This thread is for people who want to discuss the day-to-day usage of Ubuntu Touch as their main phone. This shoud be the perfect place to post info about new as well as know issues, strengths, shortcomings, new apps - simply things to help each other out and share tips, tricks, workarounds and more to improve the user experience.
To start out, I would like to know if anybody has a workable solution for adding a foreign keyboard layout, in my case Swedish. I have already tried the suggested steps on the Touch/ReleaseNotes page but had no luck so far with "sv" as the utf-8 code. I still have the original en_US layout.
I heard that it had terrible battery life. Of course the lack of apps (whatsapp for me) is a dealbreaker. OMGUbuntu has a nice article about why UT isnt a good daily driver.

Many of the things stated in the article you mention are correct, but I think battery life should not be the dealbreaker. The drain for me has ranged between 3% and all the way up to 8-9% per hour. It is nowhere near as good as the Nexus 4 with Android, but then again it is not yet fully optimized. For me the daliy driver experience should be mostly improved by working bluetooth, Swedish keyboard, a decent e-mail client and some kind of calendar sync with Google. I hope that Canonical focuses on fixing the basic stuff first and foremost. More apps and settings options will come eventually.
Headset issues
Bluetooth is still not working, but I am also having problems using a wired headset for phone calls. It "sort of" works, but the person at the other end complains about choppy sound. The headset is fine when I listen to music etc.
Anyone sharing this experience?

I have been following that thread for a while, but I found it was turning more into a discussion about ROM versions, different kernels, install problems, the upcoming 14.04 release and things that seem more aimed at developers. It is getting increasingly difficult to find information about using the current "stable" build v1.0 (r100), which I guess will be updated OTA in the coming weeks and months. I know UT is not aimed at the common user just yet, but I want a thread for us adventurous users that want an alternative to Android on our Nexus phones.
Photos
Is it just me, or do photos on the Nexus 4 taken with Ubuntu Touch look considerably better than its Android counterparts?
Some interesting facts about pictures taken under similar conditions outdoors:
Ubuntu Touch
Image size: 3264x1836
Resolution: 72 dpi
Bit depth: 24
Size: 1.49 MB
Android:
Image size: 3264x2448
Resolution: 72 dpi
Bit depth: 24
Size: 1.46 MB
Despite more pixels, the Android image has much more noise and when enlarging it looks really blurry, while the UT image still looks nice and sharp. I thought the Nexus 4 camera was crap, but now I actually find it pretty useful, I like!
Upgrade
Has anyone tried upgrading from saucy to trusty via:

Installation just finished I will report back what I find and let you know if it's even worth it.
Let us know how it goes...
Had an issue with start up and fingerprint at first, rebooted and was able to get through fingerprint. I go through all the startup steps finally boot and oneplus launcher force closes non stop. Reboot does not fix this issue either, I was lucky to have Nova launcher restored from back up but now navigation gestures do not work. I will try another fresh install and see what happens but so far stay away.
I was able to get through the initial setup but I had to skip network setup because the keyboard wasn't working. The rom seems very buggy.
Things like the QS pulldown animation are very laggy, gestures work but are laggy too and OnePlus launcher can randomly crash when opening app drawer and causes screen to flicker. Location permission seems to freeze the whole app and sometimes the whole phone just goes crazy and the screen flickers and the touchscreen gets unresponsive... and I've only had it installed for like 10 mins. I'd stay away ?

Installed from 9.5.7 - same errors with the launcher as everyone else. Updated and it smoothed out.
Calls only worked on bluetooth and speaker. (maybe a product of my locked bootloader?) I'm not complaining thought. It's beta software for devs and I understand that.
Why are people downloading this expecting a polished final product? IT'S A DEVELOPER PREVIEW. It's not meant for general users, it's to help developers to prepare their apps before the final version comes out. You're under no obligation to even install it.

Based on the posts above, I don't think anyone, including myself, is expecting a final product. No one appears to be complaining. It's feedback on their experience with the installation and performance of the Beta 2 release. I think we all know it's a work in progress. This is kinda of a heads up for others who may be considering installing it for the purpose of using it (with the occasional hiccup).

Why does every thread has to have some overseer come and tell us what we already know?
First of all everyone here was having a great conversation with good feedback regarding the update. No one said this is for developer's only? OnePlus also mentions "Early Adopters" please don't start with negativity just let the thread be!
On another note thank you guys for installing and reporting back your findings, It helps alot now I don't have to wipe my phone and install Q beta.

Lol I asked for a fingerprint theme where everyone else was requesting a theme and that GUY with the funny mustache the OVERSEER didn't approve.... Usually I get ghetto but I just kept it pushing lol.... Back to lurking because of funny mustache guy lol
Launcher kept crashing. Tried a reboot but stuck in a boot loop. Will get it sorted. Beta is beta. If you don't want issues, stay on stable.
Just a heads up, whoever still wants to give it a try do not reboot. After you play with Q for a few and want to go back to Pie. Go and download the downgrade and install. It's a little tricky because with me I lost recovery as well for some odd reason after a reboot.

The recovery partition is part of the rom, that's why.

Nope part of the boot image. Not rom.

Totally forgot about that, I should have tried pushing twrp as I was able to get it stable enough for daily use. But for now I'll just wait for the public Beta.

Agree. My BL is locked but a reboot caused a bootloop. I needed to use MSM to get back up.
Let me take a wild stab at this one...no 7 Pro 5G support?
