Whats the difference if there is any with the pre-installed facebook app and the app on the Market?
As the facebook app on the Market says its not been installed, do we have the latest version?
From what I can tell, pre-installed apps don't know about updates. Like Google Maps for example. It's pre-installed on the N1, but I had to manually download the latest version. After installing from the Market, it now knows when there are updates. Just open your app and hit the menu button and see what version you are running. If it's older than the one in the Market, just grab the one from the Market and overwrite your pre-installed one.
thats the thing, the preinstalled version of facebook has no version number, or I just can't find it.
press menu and go into settings, there is no info about version no.
when you install an app from the Market when it came preinstalled on the phone, does it overwrite it (thus not doubling the space it takes on the phone)?
I've been wanting to update a few apps like Facebook and Voice but I'm running out of space and neither are that important to me yet.

it updates/overwrites, it doesn't duplicate the app. The update for Voice makes a big difference over the old one, so do it

no problem.
The facebook app is a totally different matter though, no new features
I have been unable to find this app no matter which marketplace fix I try. Has anyone had any success finding this app? Is there any way of finding this app other than through the marketplace? I have been unable to find it on the mozilla website only links to the market place.
Hi, just google for file 40b3.apk and you will find what you want.
Still not in the marketplace but at least it can be downloaded directly from mozilla

the "fennec" is just the nightly releases its still firefox and functions exactly the same.
Firefox 4b3
Found it on the market while using CM7, before applying the market fix. Not able to attach it because of size limitations.
Firefox 4 Beta 4 - and the marketplace
Well we all hopefully know that the app is now visible to us in the market, and going through the mozilla website what do I see as a supported and tested device but our wonderful viewsonic gtablet .
The reason I bring this up is the market fixes we all know and love is really only are a fraction of the story. The application code and the market applications interaction with the device make up a majority of how the market appears to the device what apps show etc.
what makes me sad is that I thought I was fooling the market into showing me apps however that was only partially true if a device is coded in a specific way it can prevent itself from showing up on any device the coder wants.

I had no problem finding with market fix applied running Vegan 5.1.1. It ran nicely. I still use stock browser because I cannot get Hulu working with Firefox or Opera Mobile.

The reason I use it is the ability to sync easily. I do not have to use multiple methods to get all my bookmarks synced to the tab. When you wipe install, wipe install over and over again it is nice to be able to punch in a password, wait a minute, and have all your bookmarks back.
On initial install, this hung on the first screen "looking for previous tabs" After shutdown and reboot works fine.
I just installed Nookie Froyo to the eMMC. Works amazingly, and I've got Marketplace working.
However, a bunch of the apps that I'm searching for are missing from the marketplace. Stuff like Twitter and Dolphin HD. How can I fix this?
i have also noticed this running other versions. I switched to froyo for hopes of having youtube but that won't work. I can't even get marketplace to work... I tried installing it from a google link but got an error that i could only install ... tired and can't remember. Could you share how you got marketplace to work? i dont even have it as an option in my apps

I worked through this earlier tonight. If you have marketplace working, download market enabler - which lets you "spoof" a carrier. Follow the instructions above and after rebooting but before running market, run market enabler and select US TMobile as a profile. When you run marketplace, you will see the missing apps like google maps, weather channel, etc. This is discussed in more depth in the ROM thread.

Do you still see adobe flash in the market after this. Does flash still work in your browser? I did that to get dolphin browser and it worked but I lost flash. So I reverted back.
How do you enable youtube in Froyo?
Youtube won't work without the YouTube app since youtube is on flash 10.2 and were stuck with 10.1 for now.

Hmm, I've tried clearing the data and force stopping the framework and market, I've tried clearing the data and not force stopping (like earlier in this thread), after each reboot I run the market enabler, long press on Tmobile, it says it set it, I open up market and the apps are still missing.
Awesome...worked like a charm.

I have the same issue and tried the same things. Everything works great except the missing apps.
Any ideas?
I'm still running into this issue as well. I tried setting it to Tmobile after clearing the data as well as the cache and rebooting. Setting it to Verizon doesn't seem to be working either.
One option is to use titanium take the apps from your tb forder on your phone and copy them to the tb folder on your nooks sd there are three files for each app. The just restore the them

I'm not sure if this is the issue but I seem to remember that you don't want to clear the data for the market application - just the cache. And clear the data (and not the cache) for the framework.
This is discussed in the developer forum for this ROM - I'm not sure if everyone has this problem or even if this is a fix for everyone. I saw the symptoms described here and had good luck with following what was in post 492 here.

i recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab wifi version and I tried doing a search for Yahoo Messenger in the Market but it doesn't give any result, says that 'no application found'.
but on my mini pro, Yahoo messenger shows up so i end up downloading it in my mini pro and transfer it via BT on my SGT.
any idea why it's not showing in SGT's Market? is there a way for me to be able to fix it?
I'm running Overcome 1.4.2 with Globe as my carrier and it shows up fine in the Market. Didn't see it on stock though.
i've heard of Overcome but i'm not sure if i can use that on my SGT since mine is the Wifi version.
here's what's going on with the Market that I have on my SGT Wifi version.
At first i thought that Yahoo Messenger is the only app that I can't find but unfortunately, I can't locate GO Launcher as well. It shows the Go Launcher themes but not the app itself.
So I'm assuming that there might also be other known apps that might not show. Is there a way to fix or patch the Market so that it would show the apps?
i've tried MarketEnabler, MoreLocale2 but it's a no go .. i've seen someone post a copy of Market here. if i overwrite the existing Market app, won't that cause a problem or will that fix the problem?
anyone?

found a temporary solution .. i've installed Amazon's AppStore, AppBrain and Applanet.
Appbrain relies on Market so that's really a no-go. Applanet works since it shows the files that I need, like, Yahoo Messenger for instance. It even shows the plug-in.

non-market apps are enabled but the apps that i've mentioned above are still missing.
Anyone else noticing that since getting the new market, multiple apps on the Nook Color won't update? They just show open, and I presume would not let you install them at all?
The new Windows Phone 7 clone market seems to show apps even if you can't install them, so sounds like that's what's going on but can't figure out why.
Waze, Facebook, Wifi Analyzer.. I think I saw another one too.
Solution is found, although still a tad quirky. You must have the new market and follow this procedure:
skwalas said:
Ah hah! You are correct. Clearing market data at 161 caused me to lose my apps again. So it seems the full process is as follows: (and note I've never force closed the app, not sure why that should be necessary.
1) set dpi to 160 in build.prop
2) reboot
3) clear market app data (force close first may help?)
4) restart market, accept terms, let it rebuild data at 160 dpi
5) profit

And another procedure, similar, with a few extra steps.

If you update your CM7 or otherwise go back to 161 DPI, the market will eventually stop letting you update again. You can redo the procedure above to fix it. And if you you find your Apps list is empty you can try using AppBrain, it will list updates and you can update them one at a time. Not sure about installing new apps that otherwise would be "incompatible" this way, however.
Thanks to everyone that figured this stuff out, the two posts above are only examples which seem to work, there are other folks who started the ball rolling towards a solution.
New market updates multiple apps for me.
Only problem is that sometimes even if some app is already updated, it still shows it at updating list.
i constantly have to clear data for the new market to work properly. Have you tried that? I know after I clear data I get a notification that updates are available.

By that do you mean clear the notification list? I wouldn't want anyone to read that and go ahead and wipe their data.
Applications>manage apps> market> clear cache; clear data.
I constantly have to do this as well.

Oh, sure, it's updating some apps.. Just some are showing up without the ability to update.
Like I know at least a few apps have updated and they don't show up as needing updates. Or look at Appbrain, you can always see app updates there regardless of the market.
Seems like it's just filtering more apps than it used to. I'm about to remove the new market, it sucks anyway.

Installed automatically on my NC.. Lucky me. There are also apk's floating around.
I'm having a similar problem since updating to nightly 142. Certain icons are no longer visible in Launcher, Advanced Uninstaller, or Titanium Backup. When I visit the Market I'm not given the download box in the header or an update option. Almost as if the app is incompatible with the device. I tried the Applications>manage apps> market> clear cache; clear data procedure with no different result. I did get the message when returning to Market, so I guess I cleared something. The effected apps ( that I'm concerned about ) are Facebook and, of course, Angry Birds. Couple others as well. Thanks for any suggestions

You aren't the first one saying "it automatically updated" but surprisingly, mine doesn't. Don't know why.
Yes, I can see some Vendor (Vending?).apk floating around the net but no clue which version they are.

Didn't help the issue at hand here for me either, unfortunately..
Sorry you're having the same issues. I also posted to the cyanogen forums and am still waiting for another reply to the post. That's where the Titanium Backup suggestion came from. Here's hoping for another suggestion here.
It doesn't seem like the market notifies you if an app needs a manual update due to changing permissions anymore. Also I get a Appstore and market both saying I need to update Amazon mp3 and after I update one the other app store will still say it's not updated so you have to update again in order to clear the two out

I am having the same issue as the OP. Agenda Widget Plus and Facebook disappeared from my "MyApps" list but can be found by searching. I have the new market and going into settings to clear data and cache for market did not help. Had been working without issue previously. I am running n146.

I disabled MarketUpdater.apk last night and uninstalled Market updates and I STILL am having problems with SOME apps.
Oddly, I can see Waze again, but I still cannot 'see' the Plus version of Android Agenda Widget and a few others. I CAN see the free version of Android Agenda Widget, go figure. For some reason I can usually see apps in AppBrain that need updating, but those apps have also disappeared from AppBrain, so I'm not sure what I'm missing currently.
Damn you Google, what are you doing?
Same situation for me. Went to a backup of an earlier nightly that still had the old market and even there Agenda Widget Plus was missing. Also checked the android market web site and it shows Agenda Widget as incompatible with NC. How does the market determine whether an app is compatible with a device? I contacted the Agenda Widget developer and he said he had not changed anything.

I'd kinda like to know that as well. When I originally downloaded the crappy Facebook app I had no problem. But when I go to the market on the website now it says it is not compatible even though it works fine. I suspect now that the market is "device aware" any of my installed apps that get updates will not show if the app is no longer considered compatible so I will be stuck with the older version.

My guess is that Facebook can use the GPS, or Microphone, Camera... some hardware we don't have.
This is new behavior, at least changed behavior, and it's very annoying.
I've read that "device aware" suggestion in a few places, and decided to try the build.prop edit that I've read about elsewhere. Changed the device name to Samsung S and manufacturer to samsung. It didn't make a difference. I also can't understand why Angry Birds and Checkers could be device specific. The Market definitely knows I've got Nook because it is grayed out in the drop down box. I hope brighter minds than mine can come up with a work around.
