I own a nexus one, and after upgrading to gingerbread, some applications which are installed such as dolphin browser and soundhound are installed but are not listed as installed on the market and thus I don't get update notifications for them.
I tried to clear data on the market app to re sync the installed apps but it had been disabled on gingerbread
Can anyone shed some light please?
Thanks in advance,

Do they at least appear on the market?
Yes, I even re-installed the apps, still not showing in my apps though.

You might be able to use Titanium Backup's "Market Doctor" function to re-establish the application links to the Market, though I believe that requires root.
Give it some times, they'll probably come back on it's own.
If not use Market Doctor like suggested, that might or might not solve it.
It has happened to me here and there and usually fix itself.
Another thing you can try is download an app, any app (something free that can be delete afterward) and see if that bring the missing apps back.
After searching the forum I cannot find the answer, so I am hoping someone has run into this issue as well.
Everytime I flash a ROM I restore my apps and app data from Titanium (no system data), which works fine every time. However, one of those times I decided to run the Market Doctor and "fix" the market links. What I forgot about before I did that is not all of my apps come from the Android market, some come from the Amazon market. So the apps from the Amazon market are now associated with the android market and show up as needing to be updated, which fails of course because some are paid apps on Android so the download/install is declined. I have tried uninstalling from Android and reinstalling from amazon, then restoring data only from Titanium, but the Android market still hangs on to them. Is there anyway to "unfix" what Titanium did via the Market Doctor? This also applies even after wiping and installing a new ROM because it is now associated with the Android market on their end, not only on my device of course. A wipe data of the android market doesn't work either.
Any thoughts? Thanks everyone!

Had the same problem but i use app manager now and it gives me the option to unlink the app from amazon but the funny thing is it still shows up randomly. So i gave up on it.

1) Open Titanium Backup
2) Go to the "Backup/Restore" tab
3) Find the App which is now wrongly associated with the Android Market
4) Long press on that App in the App list
5) Click "Detach from Market"
I don't know of any way to do this in bulk, but this is what's worked for me

What's the best Rom to save Ram
I'm on miui usually I have 70-110 ram free
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Its not so much as you need a different rom as you should try stopping startup apps. I use autorun manger app and optimize toolbox. Download off the market and if you got root you can stop system apps like gmail and google maps from starting up when y0u arnt useing them. Optimize tool box has a task killer and a startup manager i disable everything in there except autorun manager. Autorun manager on the other hand i disable everythin except like android os and other important stuff like that. With the pro version if you have root you can stop the recivers which helps alot. Another app if you have root is fast reboot pro, which is another very good one to have. Try not to use widgets they take up ram as well. Using those meathods i manage to get my ram down to about 117 mb used, which is just over 200mb free. I hope this helps.

btw which one is better Dark Knight or Gamerzrom?
ive downladed The Dark Knight But in its data theres Nova Launcher(nova launcher is an launcher like Adw , go launcher , but nova is ics launcher , does this mean that the Dark knight is Launcher instead of ROM?)
Dark night is a rom but that is what they are using as a stock launcher for the rom

Yes, I know I can use the build.prop trick to download files that "aren't compatable" even tho they indeed ARE compatable. My question is why is the market not letting me download a majority of new apps??

Did you alter your DPI setting?
Im having this same issue. I recently purchased Lookout so i could use all of its features and there is an update that is available on the apps web page. I got the same thing saying that it was not compatable with my device. Ive gotten this for a few others, a theme for go launcher ex and slacker radio
Hey man just realized somthing. Went to download instagram and it said it wasnt compatible. But if you go under google play store on desktop or browser you can install from there and have it install directly to phone. worked for me, hope u can get all the apps you needed to download now. Not sure why its doing this but it worked for me! good luck!

A lot of apps won't install in the event that you use a custom DPI setting. People commonly reduce the DPI value from 240 DPI to 200 DPI in order to make everything on the screen be rendered smaller. The problem is that Android market is expecting all devices to have 120, 160, 240, or 320DPI. An app developer has to go out of their way to support make the market understand that their apps support arbitrary DPI values (it's trivial, but most don't know how to do it).
What's funny is that most all apps will *run* just fine at 200DPI, but the market won't let you install them.
Where can I change my dpi?

I am going to take a stab that you changed your resolution. For some reason the market won't let you install if your resolution is not default. I guess it is just meant to be a sanity check.
If this is the case, you will need to reset your resolution (I recommend ROM Toolbox) and then go into settings and wipe your market (play store) cash and reboot. I think the default is 240, but that could differ from device to device. I haven't checked what it is for droid 4. It was 240 for droid 2.
Pain in the dairy air because I do like custom resolutions. It just got so tiresome I finally just left it default. Would be cool to find a way to fool it some how.

The DPI for Droid 4 is 240 at stock. I have the same issue and had moved my DPI to 200. Most apps were fine and then prior to the release of the update (which I have not installed yet) the market started to not allow me access to apps which I had either previously had installed or wanted to that I know are supported. I will attempt switching the DPI back to 240 and wiping and will post my success/failure on here shortly.
UPDATE: - Restored stock DPI of 240 with Rom Toolbox. Rebooted. Opened Application Management in Settings. Wiped Cache and Date. Reloaded Market. Apps install/work fine.

I also suggest Rom Toolbox. It is the easiest and most comprehensive utility for root users.
