Hi,
I have a lot of applications installed, some from the market, and some via downloading the apk file... Those from the apk files don't show up in the "my apps" list in the market, hence, should be updated manually as well...
Is this normal? Or is there a way to fix it?
Of course it's not a big deal, but it's just annoying a bit...

You can try install them again through the market.
if you have titanium backup (everyone should) then you can go press menu button, more and run market doctor...
Wala links everything back up. I do this every time i flash a new rom and need to reload apps.

So anyways,
I was using dsixda's kitchen to cook VillainROM 5.4 (add & remove a few things here and there).
Wiped data and dalvik prior to flashing and then flashed the ROM which went fine. Upon first boot, phone stuck and white-green htc logo so I took out the battery and rebooted and then it booted fine. Added my gmail account in the setup wizard, connected & synced.
Now this is where weird begins. Somehow, official Facebook app apeared in my app list, and Market was only showing free apps, and it should show all apps. So I went to check /data/app folder and sitting there is com.android.vending.apk. New Market apk that somehow magicaly appeared out of thin air. Also, my Market download list shows all my previously installed apps and among those, Facebook as already installed and with an update available. WTF!?
Can anyone explain to me what just happened? This didn't happen with untouched VillainROM 5.4.
Market is linked with Google account, so could be that?

Sure, but I've never seen Market app auto update itself. What's up with that? It essentially blocks me from having all apps in market.
Okay, I found out what was the problem.
It seems that there's an update to Market app to version 1.713 which silently installs without user approval.
To anyone having trouble with this new version blocking access to paid apps, go to Manage Applications -> Market and select "Uninstall update". After that, remove MarketUpdater.apk from /system/app folder (pull it before doing it, in case something weird happens)
I've searched the threads but cannot find anything regarding the specific problems i've been having. I am running cm 7 on my gtab. Whenever I search themarket for certain apps I fund th he app but there isn't a linkto install. I've tried the market fix but no luck. Does anyone have any ideas or solutions? Thank you in advance.
Me too
I have the exact same problem. In my case, it's Skype I can't install. Which sucks because it used to work until I tried to "upgrade" it.
Appreciate any pointers you may have.
Hi Everyone,
I also have the same issue, on some app's. that I want to install, there isn't any download button available, all I see is a yellow block with the notice that the app. isn't compatible with my device, isn't that what everybody else sees ?

I have noticed this is the different GB ROMs and the new Market. I have been restoring from Titanium backup, but would also like to see this fixed.
I have been using black Mart alpha to find most of the app..... You can find black mart alpha if you download gmob and browse through the application section.
Downloaded the black market alpha app. and installed it, it does work..but some of the app's. available aren't current..thanks.

Hey mates, yesterday I upgraded to HoneyComb 3.0.1 , since then I cannot install any app grom Google market, it says downloading but it displays that for hours...it happens with all apps, I've tried to reboot and nothing...
blackmart app installion
How to install paid and unpaid apps through blackmart on rooted or unrooted device when install button does not work.
1-go to blackmart and download your desired app
2-restart your phone and go to system recovery by holding volume up + home + power buttons
3-select option for wipe cache partition
4=reboot your device
5-goto blackmart
6-select the app you already downloaded
7-install it, it will work
You have to follow above steps for each app you want to download. It is annoying but that’s the only way I found so far.
I have a big problem now.
my android market gets stuck at "downloading" and i cant download any apps.
i google about this and it seems that a factory reset is required.
i was reluctant to do a full reset,
so i download the latest market from this forum, version 3.3.11 something.
after install, problem still persist, cant download apps.
so i use rom toolbox, deleted the market system app,
and reinstall the new app market.
now worst, market always force close.
fine, so i do a factory reset. wipe everything.
but after reboot, market app is not there.
what can i do to get back the market app?
Go download n try again ...or use root explore system/app n place the market app there ....hope it helps

thanks, strangely the market app is now a system app just by putting the apk in that folder.
when pressing edit, theres no minus sign at the top right, meaning i cant delete it, it became a system app..
I was able to install astro file manager via apk. I had to allow outside sites. I usd the package manager when prompted and open after install. I was able to see the system files but i tried to copy them to my sd card with no luck. This does not create a link on the shelf and i dont know how to launch it unless i reinstall from the downloads in the browser. I also attempted other apk some worked others did not. Not sure if this helps anyone I m not a developer just fooling around at Mc donalds playing with my new nook tablet. Maybe this info is already out their if so im sorry.
How about trying to install a launcher like Go Launcher? The Kindle Fire people have some type of success with Go Launcher.
Have you tried rebooting after installing to see if icons appear?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
no but I will.
you'll need a launcher to be able to see your apps. The nook hasn't shown the BN installed apps and the user installed apps in the same place since 1.1.
Very interesting if Zeam or Go are installable. My memory is that the old BN app installer would not install non-BN apps.
I tried a reboot no luck. I Also tried to install the apps from the download location after reboot. I get a problem parsing the file. This could be because temporary internet cache is cleared after reboot not sure.
I have Go running right now on mine and it rebooted into it automatically. If I home button, it goes back to the Nook default UI and I haven't found a way to get back to Go yet.
same her go is running and my other installed apk's are showing up in the app menu
here are some bad pics of go launcher running on nook tablet
Here are some bad pics of go launcher running on nook. With installed apks in the app drawer.
I have File Expert, Market, G Books all installed as well as the Google services APK. Can't log into market yet. I'm a total n00b on this so if more experienced people have advice, let me know.
edit -
Nevermind.. must have been a bad file name or location.. i found another one and it works now.

Download the apk with your browser, then click on the notification in the bottom left, and install with package installer when it'd downloaded.
Get go launcher apk here:

Yeah, I had done that.. I guess it just didn't like the file.. it was an attachment from here.
Thanks for the go launcher link.
Got the Google account info in via Youtube apk. Access to G+ works fine. Working on market now.

Market keeps force closing though the 2.3.6 market will stay open for a bit. In a twist of irony, the Amazon App store works perfect. Likely no more updates from me tonight.
Summary, download Go Launcher apk and install using Package Installer. Get a File management program, then go to town.
amazon appstore
I have installed amazon app store including all my free apps
from my account. plus opera web browser play on and kindle this rocks.
wave launcher
I have installed wave launcher and added go launcher this can help make up for moments when you need a home button and want to stay in go launcher. Hope this helps.
Is there anyway to get back to the page with "Install from unknown sources" again? I can't find a way of getting there through the settings, and I'm curious if it's even accessible otherwise.

I couldn't find a way. I hacked one of my test apps to launch it. Download the tgps_launcher, and hit "start".

I just found that double tapping the N button in Angry Birds will let you chose which launcher to use.
Now I can use ADW on this thing.
Is Kindle Reader app installable? That would make it worth it. Also are the apps all being installed in the 1gb or can they be installed in the BN partition?
I have a terrible Market problem. My Vega loaded with HoneyIce 3.2.7 auto installs Google Play Store which is fine, but when I'm going to click accept on the Terms, it just force-closes. If I'm fast, i can click accept, but it force-closes after that top. When i install an older version of Android Market, it just auto updates and the problem is still the same :S Does anybody know how to fix this?
I'm having the same problem and i think alot of people will since google play just launched , i havent tryed it yet but i think it should work.
Do factory reset over cwm ,
then in terminal emulator:
su -
pm disable com.android.vending.updater
hope this helps , im gonna try this later myself.
It works, thnx You don't need to reset it...

I just assumed it would need reset because it reverts back to android market from google play. But oh well , glad it helped.
Okay, I got Google Play wokring. I don't know what i did, but it works...
Thanks for the fix!
Every time I tried to install/upgrade an app from Market it would say that this app can't be istalled on phone or usb storage. I even tried to install apk files thru manager and it didn't work anymore.
What I did was:
1. Freeze "Market updater" in Titanium Backup (pm disable does the same thing!)
2. Go in Settings-->Applications-->Manage applications-->All-->Google Shop and clear cache+data and then "Uninstall updates".
3. Restart tablet and Market should work once again!
Someone could also post a link to old version (last version before Market was transformed into Google Shop).
I had same force closes, all I did was force stop the app, then cleared its data and now it works fine?
