Missing Apps in Market after update to FroYo

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.

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

found out if you sign in via wifi (as I've been doing - maybe even if you skip update at the beginning) things don't work right with the market...since my account is suspended I eventualyl signed in with my cousins sim and yea, it all works fine now...

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?

Good looking out. Google needs to address this fast though for the non tech people (and potential app customers)

[Q] Pocket Legends Download Issues

I seem to be having some problems downloading Pocket Legends from the Market. I was able to download it shortly after its release while I was using Cog 2.3b3. However, since updating to Cog 2.3b6 and now Perception Build 1, I can't get the download to start. After selecting to download, a notification pops up, but disappears before the progress reaches 1%.
Has anyone experienced something like this and come across a fix?

Just download the apk from here:
http://www.spacetimestudios.com/sho...now-available-for-those-without-market-access

Thanks for the link. Downloading it right now.
Does anyone know why I had that problem though? Don't wanna have to go apk hunting every time I can't download something from the market.

I have the exact same issue on cog 2.3b6. It just pops up and disappears. Hopefully we don't see it with any other apps. Does cog remove at&t's market limitations?

agreed, it's definitely not the roms that are doing this. It's something with that one game. I have not had any problems with any other applications

My theory is actually has to do with the ROM. I am thinking that it has to do with the android id. Since the game seems to picking up popularity, I bet multiple people are trying to download it at once with the same id on their phone. Could try changing the id and downloading again.

When I first had this problem I was researching the interwebs and it's not only the Captivate having this problem when trying to download pocket legends. People with different phones where also not having any trouble downloading any other applications, just pocket legends.

Definitely not the rom or even the phone... I've got the same problem on an evo.

Have the same issue here.. Cog 2.3.6. I tried both with 3g/wireless - and nadda.

Chiming in to say I'm having the same problem. Icon shows for a second then disappears. Captivate running cognition 2.36b

I'm in the same boat. It just refuses to download to my Cappy from the Market. Tried over 3G and WiFi and didn't make a difference. Tried the option within the game to download the latest version of the game from pocketlegends.com website and that worked fine, so it's something about trying to get it from the Market that seems messed up.

Pocket Legends' APK is now larger than can fit in /cache. (28.4 vs ~26.7)
This isn't going to change unless STS figures out either how to shrink their files or deliver the majority of them post-install.

Had this problem also
It has to do with the android i.d. number, if you downloaded it from the market on a different i.d. then your going to have the problem with it in the market. The first time I dl pocket legends I had a generic i.d., and then I changed it back to the original and had problems dl pocket legends from the market again. I don't know if this effects updates, but just in case, I have both android i.d's written down in a safe place. Flash back to stock to get the original i.d. if you don't have it, using android i.d. or some app that does the same, and save and write down your android i.d.. Don't forget to find and write down your current i.d., so that if need be you can switch between the two when necessary.

I've changed my Android ID from a randomly generated one, to my correct one...and still haven't had luck getting the download to initiate.

Sorry

Check and make sure you have the correct Product Code for our phones, I believe there is a thread about it in development. That may help.

full market?

I'm running the latest Vegan rom and have done the market fix, but it doesn't seem like I have the full market. I notice lots of games and apps missing. I did the fix by stopping the framework service and market, opened titanium backup, wiped framework data. Went to market, got the error and rebooted. I noticed the market was much better, but still missing a lot. What did I miss?

I had to do the fix couple of times before I could see the entire market. YMMV

Do you also have what I'd call about an 85% market?
Before the fix, I'd say it was about a 60% market.
I'd like the full 100% like other people get

Unfortunately, there are some apps and games that are missing even after the market fix. Most are there, but there are the odd ones that don't show. Smart people are working on this I'm sure.
If you have the know how you can try pulling and sideloading them from another Android device. If it's a free app you may find the apk elsewhere. Aside from that, we just need some patience. I'm pretty happy with what I've got so far.

i think there is a problem with market itself right now..ive been seeing problems even on the phones. i changed to vegan and had to sideload most apps for now

I also am missing part of the market.
the funny thing is that some things like Firefox showed up for me in the past but no longer do.
I don't know what I need to do to fix it.

Not sure if this will help you but I followed this video (different tablet) and believe I have all the market now.

About that Server Error message, I've been noticing for the past few days that the error seems to come up for much more often when I am at work than when I am at home. The internet connection at work is thru a shared Verizon Wireless connection.
At home I was able to go into the market and browse extensively without getting any error. At work I get the error almost as soon as I go into the market and just keeps coming up every few seconds.

Video worked for me thanks

I thought that I have full market working but just discovered
that Zeam launcher is not there If I use AppBrain market it's there but cant download anyway. On my rooted Nook Color it works fine.
Can anyone confirm please ?
Thanks

it is very strange. Shouldnt we have full access to the market? What if we make a build.prop file that has it recognize the tablet as a DROID phone? Would that work?

My Market fix

There are several posts here for fixes to get the full Market and I'm one of the unfortunate that none of these fixes work for me. Different roms, countless restarts and FC never worked. I was talking to a friend and he told me to download market enabler. Further digging pointed to me MarketAccess - an updated version without the ads. From what I've heard, Android Market will limit what you can 'see' depending on the service/carrier you have with your cell phone. And since we're on a tablet, that may be why some of us are SOL.
Market Access will trick Android Market into thinking you have a cell phone carrier with your tablet. For example, I chose T-mobile for the U.S. and I now have Kindle and Nook; two apps I couldn't download before.
I'm going to continue testing this and see what else I can get. For now, those were the two I couldn't see and I now have them installed through the Market.
You can find MarketAccess be googling... yes, Market Access. The site should be amip.tools (can't post links yet)

Is this what your talking about?
http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
Are you sure this is safe and legal?

That's it. I didn't see anything that would make this illegal. Do you?

Well not that I see. I would like to here what other members here think of this method though.

I would love to be able to access the full Market too but I am, like you, one whose attempts to fix Market did not work. However, unlike you, even with the fix you led me to, my gtab continues to not be able to see the full Market apps. Bummer. But thanks anyway.

Reggie, Did you try different carriers when running the app? Some apps may be specific to the cell phone service.
Which apps are you looking for anyway?

Yeah this fix didn't really work for me either. Honestly if I need an app badly enough and its not showing I just download to my phone back it up to my dropbox app folder and sideload it right from dropbox on mt g-tab. Works great for me and I have a backup or the app also.

I'm giving it a try and see what it does.

Please excuse this totally noob-like question, but does your phone have to be rooted to do this? I have an unrooted Droid 1 and I'm trying to figure out where the apks live. Also, how do you back up to the drop box?
Thank

Hi,
The webpage says:
"MarketAccess, as well as MarketEnabler requires root available on the device. It means than you need to unlock your phone and install the su application which will manage permissions for other apps that want to get root on the device. Google for details."
Jim

I tried this to look for a specific app. Upon further inspection I don't see anything in there using this that wasn't in there using the Market Fix. Am I missing something? For what its worth, I'm looking for Colorize Widgets.

Thanks for your reply Jim. I must have misunderstood. I thought ecatapano's fix avoided using MarketAccess and MarketEnabler by accessing and "drop boxing" apks from an Android phone then sideloading them to the g-tab through drop box. I just don't know how to get the apks from the Droid to the drop box.

I've seen mention of using Astro file manager to backup, which I guess puts the APK on sdcard, then you have to have dropbox installed on your Droid, and you can then send the APK to dropbox.
Jim

I installed the market enabler,or whatever its called. I defaulted to t mobile as my carrier. I'm not certain what you are supposed to do for setup after that. So I went back into Market and found Colorize Widgets. I'm not convinced market enabler had any influence though. Any feedback on using market enabler is appreciated.

I tried it, set to tmobile USA. Still can't see

I couldn't see colorize Widgets after setting similar so I did market fix - clear cache etc. Then could see it, but still not others above.

I didn't get a chance to mess with this last night. It seems like everyone is trying T-Mobile. Has anyone tried different carriers?

HBO on the NC....very cool!

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.
