Irritating Market issue

I received my phone back a few days ago and I instantly flashed Cyan 5.0.6 test 3.
However I have a really annoying issue where my Market isn't quite 'correct'.
It seems to be missing the 'top paid' tab.
It also takes an age to load the info for any app I click on and the status stays at 'installing' even though it is installed and it will only refresh when I reboot.
I have tried to restore the backed up propriety apps, nandroid backup and restore, flashed a stock rom, flashed cyan 5.0.1
But NOTHING works.
I know the slow market is related to the missing tab, it's like half of the market app hasn't loaded properly.
I had this issue before my phone went off for repair and one day it fixed (I don't know how) but as soon as it did, it performed as it should and it took seconds to load app data and install, it also stated the app was installed.
I suppose what I'm looking for is HOW can I completely reload the Market from scratch?
Thanks guys.

Wow that is so weird... I assume you do wipe/cache/dalvik before flashing a ROM right? Have you tried cyan 5.0.6 yet? If not, give it a try, do the wipe before flash of course, and hope that works... Also, do you have a backup app? like titanium back up or back up pro? Did you set it to auto restore perhaps? Probably just a bad market back up? Thats all I can think about... If it doesnt work, then its beyond me brother

Hi Man,
I know it's really bugging me.
I've tried everything including wiping the Dalvik and normal cache.
I think I might try Enomer's ROM to see if that solves it but I can only tether at the moment as we've moved house and I won't have BB back for 2 weeks.
I have Titanium pro installed as I have over 400 apps on my phone!

Hey bro,
Apparently there have been a few reports about the same issue with the market, probably has something to do with the market update. Anyway, try uninstalling the market via titanium if you can that is. And reinstall. Nandroid before doing it.

Clear your Market app data.

still didn't work

There is an app market links, that may help, sometimes for unknown reasons you just have to do a clean instal, were you rooted prior to your latest flash?

the new rom was clean install and was pre rooted

If you weren't rooted prior to flashing then titanium won't have saved market links

when i restored my apps i was told to leave the market open while i did it. nothing would show up until i downloaded another app properly from the market and rebooted.

You have my advice in your mailbox here on xda. Let me know if that helped.

[Q] Fc's on most of the GB roms

I've tried Apex, Mosaic, dlev and Continuum roms... With all but continuum, I get force close's after restoring apps/data in Tibu.
Example, I wipe data cache, dalvic and then flash one of the roms. Once it's booted up, I go into Titanium, do a batch restore of apps, and once it finishes, I go to start Angry Birds and it fc's. It can be any of the apps, its not just directed at Angry Birds. (it even happens with stock apps, like Memo or messaging)
So, last night I flashed back to Continuum and not one fc... but, I'm missing some of the goodies from the other roms. EDT tweaks for one!!!
Anyway, I guess my question is what's the diff between Continuum and the other roms, as far as this specific problem?
Thanks

seems like an issue with data restore in tibu...idk why it worked for continuum but...try and delete all the backups and run a fresh batch backup now that they are running. then flash another rom and see if that still happens.

Damn! Didn't work... but, I perhaps made a mistake by wiping data/factory reset along with the cache's....
I just don't understand, because really, it's not rocket science and yet I don't see other people with the issue!

Check for tibu updates, and go into preferences and force tibu to use system busybox instead of its own (option is at bottom of pref menu). I would also check for updates to superuser.

Giving this a shot as well, thanks!

I had a similar problem as well. I tried the Dlev and Obsession ROMs but got FC's on some apps on both using the same method as you described. I tried one more time with Obsession but also installed the Symply GSII theme before restoring apps and everything worked fine. I'm not sure why that would have made a difference but my phone has been working great for a couple weeks now.

Well, I'm not sure what worked and what didn't... I tried the busybox change but still had fc's when I installed dlev's rom. So, I tried Apex again, and so far, no fc's. I just don't get it...
Thanks for everyone's input!

Titanium Backup?

I've seen several people with this problem but no solution yet. I was able to restore all of my apps but only some were successful restoring data. The main ones I can't restore the data on but need to are Dolphin HD, Rhapsody and K9 mail. All my widgets and several games restored data just fine, anyone know what I can do.

There is a problems button on the bottom of TB that suggests changing the way it restores the apps. I found that it fixed the issue for some of the apps, but there is one I have still that won't restore.
I was thinking about trying to download the app off the market and then just restore the data but haven't tried yet.
Another thought is that one might be corrupted...

I tried downloading them from the market and then restoring data and that didn't work, the backups restore fine on my other bolt and I even made new backups that will not work either.

Last night I dropped a themed genie.apk (news and weather) into a Liberty zip and flashed it and was able to restore the data afterwards. I'll try to get a hold on the apk's of other apps I'm having problems with and do the same to see if this works with all apps.

Clearing the cache should have the same effect on the backup/restore process of an app as reinstalling the APK

Re-installing the apps doesn't help, I still can't restore data. The way I did it installed it with the Rom I CWM and I think that was why it worked. Do you mean clearing all cashe or just for the app I'm trying to restore?

Just the app first. If that doesnt work, try clearing all cache. Maybe even Davlik cache (This will make the initial startup longer because it has to rebuild davlik cache)

This happened to me when I came over from a long line of HTC phones. Never got it straightened out and had to reset a lot of things by hand.

[Q] Can't install apps remotely (from Play Store site) after CWM restore?

I am currently running CM7 (2013-01-01 nightly) on my Galaxy Ace. When I want to try a new rom I go through the usual steps: make a CWM backup, wipe, flash the new rom, play with it for a while, and then restore my backup to go back to CM7.
Everything works fine, except for one major issue: I can't install apps remotely from the Play Store site after restoring the backup. I click on Install, it says the app will be downloaded to my device shortly, but nothing happens. Wiping and flashing CM7 again fixes it, but that means losing my backups. Is this a known issue? Is there something else I should do after restoring a backup for the Play Store to work correctly again? Thanks!

Can you still login to your GMail account?
Maybe you just have to reconfigure your Google account (and wipe some caches)

Try Menu/Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All Apps/find the market app and open it, then force stop the app, then clear catch, clear data, then uninstall updates. Now back out and reopen the market app and then follow the sign in instructions.
Hope this helps.

@ OP : Forget cwm backup. Backup all your data with titanium backup & after a fresh flash, use the " restore data only " option in the titanium backup app.

I'll try that, thanks! If you've restored a Titanium backup before, it'd be awesome if you could check that installing apps from the Play Store site works after the restore. I'm a little weary of losing my CM7 setup again only to fix this issue. Thanks again!

Really speaking, I never use titanium backup as the only things that matter to me on my phone are the contacts & the info I provided earlier was just from a hint of what I had come across before. I can't try it out for you coz I'm currently unrooted. But definitely the data backup should work fine without any issues at all. Just go ahead & try out

Is the Play store installed on your phone? If it isn't you won't be able to dl remotely from the store. If it isn't you will have to find a version of gapps to work with your rom.
