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?

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?

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?

New Android Market V2.2.11

Just an FYI, I installed it and a bunch of stuff I couldn't find in the market before is there. ( I doubt it though )

* I have been having wifi issues since this update. When it comes out of sleep the wifi wont connect automatically

might be jumping the gun trying market fix.

Cool.. Just loaded it on vegan beta 5.1. Seems to work just fine. Don't know if I see any more stuff, but never really had a problem finding things with the other ones.
I do notice that the appearance seems crisper. Like maybe they are using a higher quality. Or, maybe not.

Still the same for me. Stars still truncated. Missing apps still missing.
The new apk is about 600 MBA larger than earlier one.
Jim

Just for fun I went ahead and did the market fix again. Didn't need to but I saw the earlier post and was curious. I never could get it to open after the first reboot. Had to reboot again. Then once it started working I have noticed more of the "android.process.acore" errors, and server errors then with the older one. I will be rolling back to a previous version myself since this doesn't seem to really make anything better.

I wonder if there should be an updated GoogleServicesFramework with this?

Kind of wonder that myself. Did you notice any difference in the look? Like a higher res look for the fonts? Or was I just seeing things? That would sort of make sense for the size difference of the file I guess..

Works for me
I'm running vegan 5.1 with pershoots latest kernel and here are my findings thus far. I backed up market with titanium and installed the update, immediately opened market. Everything looks to be there, I searched for a few things and installed one or two. I looked for adw and couldn't find it, I did see its themes but not the app. Rebooted, loaded up market no fc's, until I tried to roll back to previous version to look for adw because I am almost certain it was there before. Interestingly I did see appbrain which I've never been able to get before. Never tried market fix, and did not notice any image improvement. Anyone know for certain what to look for to see if it actually improves previous market? I'm going to try and fix my market now and will report back if anyone's interested.

I installed via the apk (there is also an update.zip available) and all working well. No reboot or clearing Google Services Framework required.
I had previously preformed the well documented market fixes but could never quite get the entire market. Everything appears to show up now.

I'm not sure it is complete I can't find a few things. But then again I found a bunch of things I couldn't find before either. Catch 22 yet again.

anyone else having a problem with 'Media Volume' not working after this update? The rocker doesn't work, I tried to go in the settings (I had to unmute and turn the system sound back up - no dice), I even tried to play a video and turn up the sound using the software controls within that program....nothing works.
How do I revert back? Where is the old .apk located?
....also had to turn my wi-fi on with each reboot, which is new.
Running Vegan5.1

I think it would be most helpful if you guys actually listed the names of the titles of the apps that you either DO or DO NOT see once you have tried this. Just might help in the troubleshooting aspect. For what its worth.

ckelly,
search xda for market or vending.apk and you will find many versions to play with

Volume corrected on reboot #2.
Wi-Fi still needs to be manually connected..

@sixvolt
Since this appears to not improve things, you must have had even less apps show up than we did and this update brought you to par with the rest of us. Everything is relative

[Edit][Fix for issues with GPS and other apps] HD2 Netflix Master Hack.

First of all, read everything! Second, click the link to see a picture of what the build.prop should look like. And lastly, I am not responsible for you being lazy and inpatient.
First of all, I take no credit for it, I just want to move it here for other users who might have not seen it. All credit goes to Sprintusa.
This even makes the quality of Netflix even better! Just follow the link to the post which was posted inside a thread of the Android Apps forum. I used it and it worked great!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13952218&postcount=722
EDIT: I will re-do all my steps and check if this still functions. I will post results here.
EDIT 2: Okay, so here's something strange, before I even went back to the original build.prop settings I uninstalled Netflix from my apps. Then went into the Market and downloaded the Netflix app from there and it worked fine for me. As I'm writing this South Park (Dances with Smurfs) is streaming perfectly.
EDIT 3: I re-did everything except for use the APK listed in the link. I didn't use any APK. After I edited the original build.prop settings I saved and rebooted. Went into Market and installed Netflix from there. I can say that this works on my HD2 running latest Hyperdroid CM7. The only issue would be that the Stock Navigation app disappears. And some issues with a few apps.
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO TYPE IN "machimachi" INSTEAD OF "mahimahi"
FINAL EDIT:Okay so I figured out how to get Netflix working and all other apps that seemed to have issues to remain fine. It's rather a simple task but I will write out everything step by step in this post.
STEP ONE: Edit build.prop settings to;
ro.product.model=Nexus One
ro.product.brand=google
ro.product.name=passion
ro.product.device=passion
ro.product.board=machimachi
ro.product.manufacture=HTC
After you do so, tap the menu button and select Save & Exit, it should also save a backup copy of the original build.prop. Make sure it does because it's needed for later! Afterwards reboot phone.
STEP 2: This is an easy step, after phone reboots, go to the Market and Netflix should be there, download it. Now sign in and make sure you watch something, please do this so it can register on the Netflix site that you're on a Nexus One. After you do so, exit Netflix.
STEP 3:Now go back to your build.prop file, hold on it and select "delete."
Make sure you do NOT delete the one that says "build.prop.bak."
Okay, all you have to do now is hold onto the file build.prop.bak and rename if to "build.prop"
The icon should change back to the original build.prop icon. Now reboot phone!
And Whaaaa-Laaaaa! Netflix working as well as all other apps that were affected by the Master hack.

Worked fine for me, my TyphooN build wouldn't show it in the market.
Used ES Explorer to edit the build.prop file (enable writable root in settings).

just downloaded it, it doesnt work. as soon as you boot it says there is a new version that you must install before you can use the program. after clicking ok it searches the market (?) and it says it's unavailable. rederening this version useless. manual search on the market doesnt make it show up either. i'm using gbx v12 if that makes a difference.

This hack does work but be aware of odd issues noted afterward.
I edited my build prop file exactly as shown in the post and installed the posted apk, and although the attached screenshot shows "mahimahi" not "machimachi" as the post itself shows I used machimachi. But on my hd2 when I shut off and restarted the phone I found these settings immediately breaks the GPS and makes my stock navigation (blue arrow) icon and its associated app. Inoperable. So I reverted back to my original build prop settings, saved, rebooted. Then downloaded the uppdated Netflix app (will add link to this post when I find it again), and Netflix, GPS, Navigation icon and it's app works normally again.
Edit: found link to working apk.

Yes you have to do what's explained in the link. I used root explorer. And make sure you type "machimachi" instead of "mahimahi".

I would now guess I should have just added these lines to the build.prop? And not just delete what is inside and leave it the only thing. Well that bricked my phone, now I guess I have to do a install of E19 again and start from scratch, unless someone knows how to restore the backup? My phone won't boot now..

When you first sign in are you still on the edited Build.prop? Make sure when you download Netflix and sign in that you're still on the edited build.prop and not the original one.

Yes, I haven't restored it yet.. Very frustrating, I downloaded and app that now won't let me logon, says wrong password. I might just give up on this Netflix thing soon, my free trial will run out soon.

Hmmm I might pass then. I have a tablet coming in, might see if it works with that.

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.
