In relation to the Nook Color issue of not displaying your installed apps in the Market app, I confirm that AppBrain is able to show all my installed apps (I'm running PhireMod Nook V3) but still I have an issue. It shows me which apps are to be updated but when I click on one of these apps and select "Update (in Market)", then it starts loading the Market app and ends up with an error message saying that the requested item cannot be found.
So AppBrain is sort of a half workaround to see your installed apps but you still need then to go and find your individual app in the market to install the latest version which is quite painful.
Anyone the same experience and/or a solution to use Appbrain fully rather than the Market app?

If you can't see the app in the market you can't see it in the market....... Appbrain doesn't have its own market, it just links to the Android market.

Nope, appbrain has let me download apps not shown in the "old market" on autonootered 2.1 eclair with the "fast web installer" app. This method won't work for you because PhireMod uses "new market" (v.2.27) which blocks appbrain from bypassing it.
Here's an post about the change. (previous article was about the last time google blocked it! )
I'm going to try to use the reversal directions to put old market back on after I install PhireMod:

If I can't get old market working, I'm putting eclair back on it.

I've been using it on eclair (to find apps not listed by the market). My understanding is that it no longer works once you move to new market. I still haven't switched to froyo because I was waiting for the pandora bug to be fixed and hoping that appbrain would release a new version with new market support.

After updating to JI6, I'm unable to download and install, sometimes even to find on the market, the Nytimes app.
Perhaps it's connected to my flashing the upgrade via Odin after my OTA attempt failed and I lost all my prior apps and data.
In all events, is there anything I can do to get it back?
Since I rooted my Droid Eris and installed a Froyo rom, I have been unable to find it on the market as well.
I found an older version of it and installed it, but it crashes every time I open it.
I wonder if the app doesn't work on froyo and that's why it's not on the market.
It was on the market as of last week, before I rooted the app and installed Froyo.
I hope someone else can find more information about this.

I have it on my phone running 2.2 - version 1.6.8
I have it too
On froyo 2.2
I've checked the market again (searching for nytimes) and it did not appear. I've installed a few other apps from the market with no problems.
I read that at least one other person was having problems searching for specific apps (although not the nytimes) in the market using the same rom that I'm using, Tazzfroyo I'm guessing that might be the problem for myself, and the same type of problem could be it for the OP as well.
I'll keep you updated.

a ROM does not effect how the market behaves. Google does.
You might be living in another place where the NYTimes app is not being released, for country reasons.
There are apps that others cant see but you can.
There's a app that lets you see all forgot name though

Try this as well as dl appbrain. Some rare occasions I cannot find an app so I browse though appbrain and it links me to the market download. I actually had to dl it with the xda tapatalk app and the sirius app.
Sent from my Axura injected voodoo possessed Vibrant.
Thank you for your suggestions and help.
After clearing the market cache and rebooting; and then installing appbrain [although it did appear in appbrain], The NYTIMES still did not appear in the market.
I then ran the Eris Market Fix (the newest version, v1.7) rebooted - which fixed my problem ! nytimes app finally appeared in the market. =)
I'm in the US so I don't know why the app wouldn't appear in my market before running the market fix...
One thing I have noticed is that sometimes an app doesn't appear in the Market because the Market doesn't "think" it's compatible with your hardware. A good example is the app "AP Mobile".
The solution for me is to use the app "AppBrain Market Sync" to find the App. Then, click the Market button within AppBrain the you'll go right to the download link within the Market.
There may be other ways to get apps which the Market app hides, but this works for me.
This doesn't work for me, when I click the market link it just doesn't find it. I'm running 1.1 autonootered.
Doesn't work for me either.
Only works for me if I pair it with "fast web installer." Then you install directly through the appbrain app and never go to the market.

Hello,
i installed the market form ICS (i know its not optimized for tablets).
And suddenly all apps were disappeared from the list, all i got only this: (see attachment)
When i delete the app and use the stock app, all apps appear in the list but the market itself doenst work. So I get only the "My Apps" List :/
So I tried the 3.1.5 Market, which is actually optimized for tablets - but still no apps :/
maybe clearing your Market cache will help?
Just tried, nope :/
I have the same problem on my evo. I use Old Market, and it works like a charm. But it isn't as streamlined as the new one.

I want to know but not sure how to proof it since the statistic in android market is not in real time. If I send my app to friends in apk file and they've installed, will android market count as net/device install? thanks
They need to have a rooted phone. They can use Titanium Backup and force attach the apps to the market

It will not specify how you installed the app. The app will just be shown as installed if you search for it on the market (and if you use Titanium Backup's Market Doctor, then you can attach it for it to show up in the "My Apps" section - for some apps).

There isn't any other way to attach the market link to the app, not using Titanium Backup. Once, My Apps section of Market stoped working, and Titanium Backup caused that.

what i curious is does android market know when a user installed the apk from an external source (same signature). if yes, can i say that the download number in market is the overall download numbers from all the sources of the app?

No, it will not know. No, it would not add to the download number in the market.
Speaking from first-hand experience, don't be so sure that either the Android Market or Amazon Appstore stop counting (or knowing) about apps just because they are side-loaded.
Our current app doesn't show an increase in downloaded users, but Google does report "active" users, and that number can differ from the download number. Moreover, Amazon Appstore currently "finds" apps installed on a device and matches them with apps in their list and they will try to update them.
One last note: app developers can and do put all kinds of code in their apps that touch live Google and Amazon APIs and components. This code will communicate with those services even if the app arrives on the device indirectly... so there are still many ways an app can be tracked besides just direct download numbers.

I Sent my market purchased apps to my spouses new phone, without my account on it, and they updated through his account, but only free versions. To get the update on paid versions I had to install my account, so there is definitely something going on in the signature.
If the developer updates their apps with any regularity the download count will rectify itself during the update process. BTW, Amazon does this as well. I am always offered to update my Market apps through Amazon (if free on both) but typically Market has the update before Amazon.

I've been having Titanium Backup for a few months now, but have always been curious about what the "Market links" are.
So my questions are:
What are market links?
How do they work?
What does attaching an app to market do/creating a market link?
What does removing a market link do?

market links connect your app to google play store.
when your app receives an update market links helps you to be aware of the same.
its helps u get update info abt your app
if you are rooted, Using Titanium Backup (Pro) long click/press on the app you want to 'disconnect' from the market.
Then select Detach from Market. this will remove your market link but then you wont get any updates..

if you purchase an app the the purchase details are linked to your google account. so even if you reflash rom / wipe your phoone etc , if you log into the same google account it will automatically show as you have purchased that app.
Although for safety try not to mess with the market links of purchased apps..

Thank you so much with the fast reply!
One more question, when I download apps through the Play Store, and I go into Titanium Backup, I would expect an option in the menu saying "Detach from market", but they only have the "Attach to market option". this doesnt make any sense since the apps downloaded from the Play Store are already attached from the market. Can someone please explain this to me? Does the "attach to market option only work with sideloaded apps?
One last thing about Paid side loaded apps: Plants Vs. Zombies is $0.99 on the play store, if I side load it and atttach it to the market via a link, will I get updates even though it's sideloaded? Also will it appear in my app history as purchased if it's installed on the device? Will it appear as purchased if it's uninstalled from the device?
Thanks!

its showing "attach to market" because u have not installed that app from play market. you might have downloaded apk from somewhere and installed it separately(side loaded). Check other apps too that u have downloaded from play store have the same problem.

attaching market link should ensure that you get updates regardless whether the app is sideloaded or not ! i mean thats what attaching to market means ! no matter whether you are using TB or not if you have purchased app the it is linked to your google account that the app is purchased by you. Google is'nt counting on everyone to install TB and use the option of attach to market to get updates on purchased apps....

unfortunately only for the time beeing.. after a reboot the link is there again. Pretty annyoing as there are some devs patching their apps to crap until they don't work anymore. Got one of them and it was so easy to update all your apps, but you have to do it one after another 'cause this s**t app simply does not work when updated.
