So I'm trying to be a hero to my nephew and install some games that do not show on the market. Smurfs Village is my example. He has a Nook running CM7.2 Mirage.
I installed the games on my phone, did a backup, then pushed the apk to the nook. They install and run fine.
Problem is, when I do a reboot they are gone. It must have something to do with a market check then they get removed as an incompatible app.
My searching has found nothing but I KNOW I saw this issue somewhere.
Any help?
Steve
Interesting!
Can you do install, play a bit then reboot one more time and see if it is really the case?
Plus since Google just changing Market to Play, get into the settings and see if anything weird there.

1) You have posted in the wrong forum.
2) Market works fine in 2.2 unless you flashed one of the pre-release builds.
The sticky at the top of the N1 gen forum tells you in bold NOT TO ASK QUESTIONS.
Ask them in the Q/A section. Gen section is for news, tips only...

I'm having the same, or very similar problems. Basically, I'm seeing paid apps, and my purchases, but I'm not seeing the "Top Paid" tab, nor is the Market acting in any sane or rational way. For example, I install an app, and the notification bar will say downloading, then installing, then the notification that it installed. In the Market download window, though, I see it download, then switch to installing, but never get beyond that.
What started all this with me was this. Using Linda File Manager, I uninstalled a couple of apps (was trying out the feature since I was in there). In this case, it was Google Earth (don't really use it), and a Pirate game that I never grocked. Anyway, in the Market they wouldn't leave my list in the Downloads, so I wiped the cache and data in the Market app in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications.
After that, all my apps appeared as uninstalled in the downloads window, and the issue with installation started. First thing I did was try and reinstall all the apps, and ended up with a huge list of apps that were installed, but were marked as still installing by the market. Killing the market app cleared out the hung install progress bars. The other thing that started happening was that not all of my installed apps appeared in my download list. KO Boxing, for example was on the featured list as upgradable, but it wasn't in my download list to upgrade.
Ultimately, what I decided to do was wipe the phone and see what happened. After wipe, I logged in and FRF91 didn't restore my apps like it had in the past. In fact, the market was exactly the same as it was before the wipe, with all my apps showing as free or purchased. Installing issue was also the same. Now, I know that Google backs up the settings, so I thought maybe that had something to do with it. I wiped again, but in the configuration process post-wipe, I selected for Google to not restore from backup (hit menu in the setup when you are entering your username/password). This brought me through the process much quicker, but with no change in the market function.
So, I'm still without a "Top Paid" tab, nor with a all together sane Download window. It's frustrating the heck out of me, and I'm about to go back to whatever the 2.1-r1 release was (ERE27?) and see if that makes any different.
The ROM I'm running is the FRF91 full release from lox_dev:

If T-Mobile is doing the OTA's to FroYo from 2.1-r1, then maybe I'll let it do it's own thing today and then see if that fixes it. Ugh.

The above snipped sections are my story too.
Updated last week manually from ERE27 to FRF85b to FRF91 using the official stock clients each time. Non rooted N1. I spent 6 hours on Friday night trying to sort this..
I've got posts up on the Google Nexus One forums also and am holding where I am for a definitive fix. It's very frustrating though..
Go to menu>applications> magage applications> all apps> market then force quit and clear data and whatever else is in there.

I tried that on Friday night. Once I'd done that, none of my installed apps showed in the Downloads section.
That's why I did a full wipe and set the phone back up. Luckily I was still able to find all my apps, including the purchased ones. However the missing 'Top Paid' button and slow market performance persisted.
So, for fun, I pushed back to ERE27 (2.1-r1) and same issue. No "Top Paid" in the Market, and issues with installation. This is complete wipe, nothing installed on the phone after imaging.
I let it upgrade to FRF91, which didn't change anything. I'm now pretty convinced that whatever this is is completely account related on the Google server side of things, and it needs to be sorted out by them
Guess I'll have to figure out who to contact for support from Google :/

I'm working the Google angle also plus have posts on several forums and watches on more.
Please can you keep this thread updated with your progress and I'll do the same.

I've made contact with Google via email and this is now being investigated.
I'm sending them a summary of the problems I've been having and pointing them at various threads both here and in the Market so that they can see how widespread this problem is.
I've also tried a full hard reset and cache wipe without luck. My belief is that this is something that Google need to sort server-side, so I'm done with my wiping and reinstalling for now...

Looks like this has now been fixed server-side.
I got my 'Top Paid' tab back this morning - Yay!
So I had a few apps get the infinite Installing Android Market bug thanks to a wireless router dying at a bad time. The only thing that worked short of doing a factory reset was to uninstall the market update.
So my question is how do I get the Market update to reinstall?
Thanks
(Not rooted, stock ROM)
Uninstall application, then reinstall. Just a hunch.

Were it only so simple. The 2.2 market enchancements were a silent upgrade, so there's no market link. And beyond that, the Market no long appears up on the manage Applications list in the system settings.
I've been having the same issues as well, very frustrating! I've been searching here and good ol' google on how to get that update back...to no avail yet.
Did you ever get any success?
Pulled this. See if it works for you.
Thanks
Trying to side load it now, but I can't seem to get droid explorer to work. sigh.....
It connects to the phone fine, but then when I go to install the package, it gives me a new window that wants to install something. I don't really remember that window coming up in the past, but to be honest it's been quite awhile since I've used droidexplorer... So I click isntall, and the program immediately crashes.
So, I put the file on my web server, and downloaded it from there. (Got some annoying lovely messages about the phone being out of space until I cleared the browser download list....) It downloaded fine, but when I go to install it, I get "Parse Error There is a problem parsing the package."
On an odd hunch, I started poking around the file structure in DroidExplorer, and was able to pull my own MarketUpdater.apk out and save it to the computer. So I threw that on the webserver, and was able to download it fine, AND re-install it. No idea if that will actually DO anything, but hey, figured it was worth a shot.
So now that I've waited 15 minutes after reinstalling the marketupdater.apk, (big surprise) nothing's changed.
EDIT:
Went to grab a sandwich for lunch, and decided to pop into the ATT store since it was right next to where I was eating. Asked one of the reps that I have a pretty good relationship with about the issue, and he said a customer came in not too long ago with the same issue, and the only resolution was a system wipe. Hopefully we can get around it...Of course, if not, and I do have to do a wipe, I'll just upgrade to 2.2....
I know that this has been covered but this is slightly different. My YouTube stopped.working last night, I assume for the same reason as many. I tried to uninstall and reinstall with no success. Now I have deleted all of the YouTubes from my NC, how do I reinstall it and which directory? This is where I am lost. I just want my YouTube back

I had a similar issue. I just ran the attached .apk via ES File Explorer and I was back in business.
I had that issue during the week too. I went to NC portal and grabbed the signed youtube apk for the nookie froyo and that worked for me.
I will try this again. So what directly do I put the .apk in? system/app?
Last time I tried to run that it gave me a parsing error. Perhaps the file was corrupt.
I will give the above a go and report back.
It will not install. It acts like it is going to install, and then simply states on the screen "Application not installed" and a "Done" button.
How can I wipe out YouTube completely from the machine? I think it is conflicting with the install.
Its happened to me several titmes. Seems to be related to installing apks that play media files. Or maybe im just stupid and should quit messing with my device. Shrug.
Here's a method that has never let me down.
1. Backup youtube.apk using titanium backup. (Doesn't matter if youtube currently doesn't work.)
2. Reinstall ONLY the .apk from backup. Do not restore data!
Voila, now youtube works again.
You can just restore next time it acts fonky.

I have no idea what "signed" YouTube app is, I use 'HQ YouTube' app as per discovery by one Roy Aguilera for EVO (see my blog fineoils.blogspot.com, down below, as it was posted on January 3). Later on, that discovery was observed working on Droids, so I tried it on my NookColor. Works fine for every YouTube HD 1080p movie/clip you can find there. Didn't work for my Pandigital Novel though (lol), as obviously its hardware overlay remains completely broken -- even on its CM6 beta.
HQ YouTube is reported as stopped working in Froyo though. I suspect "Stagefright" is the culprit, so anyone may try to play with it as I propose in my blog. This tweaking might even help to validate Nookie Froyo for Flash 10.1 -- who knows? I didn't try NF yet, and hopefully never will, as I consider A2.2 a mere bugfix job for A2.1 leaving too many bugs untouched for TI OMAP36xx (quite old) platform and adding "features" (like "Stagefright") to be fixed at A2.3.x level.
You could look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10648931&postcount=8 - worked for me.
I installed it just fine, I used TitaniumBackup to uninstall and then used the aforementioned apk to reinstall and it works fine. Now, I leave the application, and go back in ... same issue.
What is causing this break so that I dont have to do these steps every time I want to use YouTube?
Worked like a charm, thanks!
YouTube
the thing that works for me is to delete
/data/data/com.google.android.youtube/shared_prefs/youtube.xml
I use root explorer to delete file.
next time you restart youtube you just have to accept the eula.
Tried to download the new HD version of Guerrilla Bob from the market. It downloads but then just disappears and never actually installs.
Has anyone else installed this successfully, or is this just some other Market weirdness?
edit: I had done the market fix a couple of days ago to try and get a few more apps to appear. Now I just noticed that the tablet's not showing up in my account when I hit the market in a browser, even though I bought the app successfully from the market app on the tablet. Looks like I have some more fiddling to do.
edit 2: once I got the market to display the terms and conditions again, it allowed me to download. Wish I could delete a thread, or at least change the title.
same issue at here. I'm using xoom.
Recently I acquired a new G1 Dev phone and I just got done applying CM 6.1. So far I'm very pleased with the overall result. One thing that doesn't seem to work (or I just don't do something right) is "Market" (now Google Play). If I click on the "Market" icon the web browser opens and I see the Google Play Terms of Service. One would think that there would be a "agree" button but I can't seem to find it. I would be thankful for any tips, hints, ideas.
Please don't post questions in the general section.

1 - Try to install apk of Google Play 3.10.10 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001595) or
2 - Rotate Screen
Hi guys - I'm having a similar problem with my G1. Recently I've reflashed from Donut by Laszlo to CM5.0.8 and everything was fine. Yesterday I reflashed again, this time going for the 2708+ port - basically CM5.0.8 with ramhack. I flashed with Gapps that didn't include google maps as it was said it would be a bit more stable. Plus I don't really need them so I was glad to have saved some space. What I didn't know was, it didn't contain the Market app either. Now I'm trying to get the market installed but can't seem to succeed. I found an apk that I installed and it worked for a bit, but when started downloading it forceclosed. So I tried an edited google play app, that was supposed to work on the Eclair versions of android and it failed, so I tried to install the previous one again, but that one forcecloses now instantly.
So does anyone know of a Market app for CM5 that is stable, or do I need to reflash Gapps? I would prefer simply a market app, if there is a stable one anywhere...
Never mind actually. Got it to work. I used the wrong Gapps before - that's why the Market didn't work and forceclosed. Just downloaded different Gapps, removed unwanted apks, flashed and that's it. All is fine...
