I can't find a definitive answer to this. My understanding of CM is Gapps need to be installed in order to get market, maps, etc... I installed CM7 on my touchpad today. Everything went very smooth. I never installed gapps. After the initial boot up it took me through the gmail account setup. After that was done it downloaded all of the apps I currently have installed on my phone from the market to my touchpad? Now the part that confuses me. When I uninstall an app from my touchpad, it also uninstalls it from my phone? Is there an option to stop this somehow? If it makes any difference I'm using a rooted HTC Thunderbolt, running a sensed Rom.
Ok after thinking about my question and reading more. I am not completely familiar with ACMEinstaller. I got to thinking that the installer reads what I placed in the cminstall folder and installs all of the .zip files I placed in it? If that is true, I did install gapps inadvertently, I planned on seeing what the device looked like without before I installed it. I was going to go back to the recovery and install it after I familiarized myself with CM a bit. Either way, if I did install gapps, is it possible to unlink these apps from the apps currently installed on my phone, or should I just make an extra gmail account specifically for my touchpad?
They actually shouldn't be linked as far as my knowledge. Even if you have back up this device with google account selected. I have that on both my devices Atrix on CM 2.3 and my Touchpad. I have not experienced what you have. I will look into it some but someone might know something exact before i reply
I thought it was odd. I uninstalled an app that was of no significance on the touchpad. Restarted my phone and it disappeared from my phone to?
I've been having like the same issue, if I go to the android market on the browser and check the devices assosiated to my account, it does not show my tp just my phones. Has anyone found a solution for this?? if somebody has, please share it... Thanks
If you hit menu button - settings - accounts you can click on your gmail account and unselect syncing.
I think that might do the trick with it syncing with your phone.
Or if all else fails, just create a new gmail account specific for the TP.

I'm using the stock os ... and in upgrading my Amazon market have now found that I can't access Amazon App Store any more. I'm told that (everything I try) is incompatible with my device. It used to work, though. Anyone have any ideas?

Here's the answer from Amazon:
Hello Al,
I am truly sorry about the troubles that you have been having. I have contacted our development team about this issue here about one week ago. They informed me that there was a increase devices that are not compatible with our apps, but they did not mean for it to take out almost everything for devices that clearly can handle the apps. They are working on getting it fixed but right now there is now estimated time for them to get this completed.
Thank you for your patients and look forward to seeing your soon.
Thank you for your recent inquiry. Did I solve your problem?
EPIC FAIL on Amazons part. On a side note, that was on a Froyo rom (calk+clemv6). I'm now on HC (GTabComb3.3) & Amazon work with it.
i an into this problem last week. Deleted the data and cache from the application itself, re-entered my login information, and everything was magically compatible again.
Go to Settings, applications, manage applications, all, find Amazon appstore, and delete cache, then delete data, force close it. Close settings, restart appstore. You'll need to provide login information again, and it shoul work.
Still getting Not Compatible message in Amazon Appstore
I have a Viewsonic G Tablet with the stock operating system, except I did repatition the sd card. When I loaded everything back up I saw that all of my apps were not in my account. At that time I was able to search manually and find and install them, but now I can't even do that. I tried loading the previous version of the appstore but the apps were still not in my account and when I found them it would redirect me to load them from my account, where they are not at. Has anyone found a way around this yet?

I've run into this as well. Amazon rebuilt their compatibility list at some point and the gTab is not listed as incompatible with nearly every app in the store. The reason your apps don't show up is that incompatible apps are filtered from search results, including your purchased apps. This restriction also seems to apply to the installer as well. Don't know any workarounds. I've already contacted Amazon on multiple occasions to bring this matter to their attention, but no action seems to have been taken.

Worked for me, I was getting increasing numbers of incompatible notifications especially for the free app of the day.
Amazon should learn...
About the only thing that the Amazon market had going for it, other than FAoD, is that I didn't have to worry about apps not appearing in searches because someone didn't recognize my device. As a frequent ROM flasher on a number of android devices, it's a pain when a market search shows up nothing even when you know it's there.
Amazon shouldn't follow google in this. If anything, they can just post a disclaimer "This app is not compatible with your device, if you want to purchase it anyway, click here, waiving any liability if it crashes your device, and indicating that you understand that you won't get a refund if it doesn't work." Or even just give advanced users a flag in their profile to sign this disclaimer once and turn on the ability to download "incompatible" apps.
Sometimes I get error logging that's about it
Sent From Nexus 7 XDA Premium HD App
I am unable to purchase/download applications from the Market both on the gTab and through the website. The Market says "You don't have any devices." and the tablet returns the error "Purchase cancelled Error processing purchase" with the "Retry" and "Cancel" options. Since I gotten this error I have gone through the follow steps to remedy the situation:
1. Cleared the Market data in the applications section
2. Changed my Google account password
3. Wiped and reinstalled GtabComb_b3.3_bl1.2.
4. Contacted Google support (they directed me to Viewsonic)
5. Posted this looking for help.
Note that all the apps that I have installed prior to this issue are automatically downloading/reinstalling just fine. I just can't add new apps. Any help would appreciated.

Ran into the same problem setting up GtabComb on my old tablet for my wife (I just got a Xoom). All went fine, all her apps registered under her gmail account came down and installed just fine. I couldn't add any other apps (free) and got the same error you were getting. Google searches gave some suggestions but nothing worked. I wiped and installed CM7.1 (latest nightly) and have no trouble with it.
No answer to your problem....I just gave up after a bit. She is running CM7.03 on her slightly defective Gtablet (can't power off or reboot issue)....so she'll be fine with CM7.1.

Go here http://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/bin/request.py?contact_type=cont and fill out the Talk to a Specilaist section. Google wil call you in seconds & you will be put into the phone queue. I've had this same problem twice (Purchase cancelled Error processing purchase" with the "Retry" and "Cancel" options) & each time my wait time was less than 5 minutes. Each time they have had to forward the ticket to the account management team for resolution & it has gotten fixed each time within 48hrs.

@aabbondanza I did talk to someone through android support and was told that they do not support/recognize the Viewsonic gTab. How did you get around telling them that you have a gTab?

It's definitely an account issue. If you press the issue and tell them you have been downloading things in the past & that updates still install fine, they should help you. They tried to pull that line on me this time too (& they just fixed my account yesterday). You may have to fib & tell them you have a different tablet (my rep said my tablet showed as an epad). My rep also admiited in the end that he had a gtab himself.
I'll try and see if I can "work around" things tomorrow. In the meantime the Amazon market is working just fine and has what I need.

I was shown this thread by someone on another forum and it worked great for me just download the new market and you will be able to download apps again, it will not show your device on the online android market but it will work on your tablet.
You will have two markets in manage applications, but i just installed it and it replaced the old one and now uses the new market for the app shortcut.
Also i am running flashback 8.1 Rom. can't confirm this works on all although i assume it should but back everything up just in case before proceeding.

I can confirm it works on GTabComb v3.3 b/l 1.2. This was the second time this week that I got the error (and 3rd time in a month)...first 2 times Google Android support fixed it, this time installing Market v3.1.5 fixed it.

I can confirm that this fix only partially world with Flashback 8.1. Now some apps install, and all apps download, but many apps cannot locate the SD card or USB storage. Any ideas gents?
Edited to add: I just made the jump from 8.1 to 9.0. Only a data/factory reset was required and then Titanium all my apps back in. I have not had any issues downloading applications post upgrade and strongly suggest this "fix" to anyone running Honeycomb that has had market issues.

Worked perfectly, for Flashback 8.1 thanks. All apps I wanted now download and install.
I also removed the old market using Titanium Backup.
Alright, I've looked all over and couldn't find anyone asking the same question, so here it goes. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Back in November I rooted my stock Nook Tablet. I did not install any other ROMs, I just rooted it and used the method to make the software version 9.9.9.
Due to some school things I haven't picked my Nook Tablet up until recently. Tonight I noticed that both the Fandango and Words with Friends apps needed to be updated. So I went to the "Apps" library and tapped "Check for Updates." When I did this, it told me that all apps were up-to-date, despite the fact that both the Fandango and WWF apps still said they needed to be updated.
I suspect this has something to do with the version 9.9.9 thing, but I am not sure, so I jumped on here to ask if anyone has any idea what's up.
Furthermore, I've noticed that if I install WWF Free from the Android Market, by Nook App of WWF no longer says it needs to be updated until I actually click on the app.
Everything else related to the Nook works fine. Downloading books, magazines, other apps, etc. But for some reason, no updates are showing up as available.
Anybody have any idea what's going on? I'm stuck. Once again, any help is appreciated!
Hmm. Ok, so I did some more investigating. It looks like you can force the app to update without using "check for updates" by archiving the app and then un-archiving it.
This is just a work around, but if anyone else has the same problem, this looks to be a way to fix it for now.
I have had the same problem.
I have a similar work around....I use Go Launcher to uninstall the B&N apps and then after a reboot I go to the Nook App Store and redownload the apps. MOST of the time it downloads the new updated version, but sometimes I have to do this process several times to get the new version.

Good morning,
I would greatly appreciate help from anyone who could bail me out of the situation I got myself into.
Here's the background: My wife and I have been using SGSII for about two years and during this time I have successfully been able to utilize odin oneclicks and TiBu to upgrade our phones several times. Unfortunately, this is the extent of my exposure to android and rooting and ROMS etc. So I basically need dead simple answers without jargon.
We have been pestered by the OTA update requests for ICS for several weeks. I wanted to skip that and get to JB and since the GB27 one click is available I decided to go for it. I had no problems on my phone and used TiBu to get all my programs and settings back just fine.
If I had to screw up on any phone I wish it was mine because now I'm in the doghouse with my wife. Short version: did selected directory backup via usb (mainly pictures and a couple of key apps) and had the TiBu backup on microSD. GB27 installed fine. However, found out the MicroSD was corrupt/unreadable (found out afterward she had been having problems but didn't know it was due to bad SD card).
All apps installed fine from google play except the one app she specifically told me she needed - SplashID. I used my microSD and transfered the file folder from the PC and managed to get it on her phone. Now on google play it shows that we have it installed but when I try to run it tells me that we have to buy the app. I'm sure that this is because the android ID changed and it doesn't recognize my wife's phone.
My question is how can I fix this? I tried using TiBu to restore previous ID but it doesn't find a prior android ID.
I really need some advice to help save me. Any advice?
Thanks in advance,
-Steve
Contact google, you had your receipt sent to your e-mail account.

From my experience as long as I use the same Google account I purchased the app with there is no problems with re-installing the app directly from the Playstore then I restore data using TB if required. I sometimes have issues with TB not backing up the market links properly.
Basically if you sign in using the same Google account then the purchased app should show as purchased but not installed once you click it in my apps you should be given the option to install. If you aren't then gastonw has provided the only other option.

GastonW - Thanks for the advice. I will try contacting google through the play store tonight.
Auss - The device is definitely linked to her google account. She has only ever had one google account and all the apps except the paid ones reinstalled fine.
From searching on the forums it does seem that this is related to the android ID changing when the system was wiped and upgraded to JB. Unfortunately, since my TiBu backup was hosed on the microSD card I am unable to restore the previous Android ID or the app backup.
I am hoping that google will be able to restore my prior android ID otherwise it seems I might have to contact each software developer of the paid apps and try to get them to honor the app. Has anyone had to go this route?
Again, any feedback or advice is appreciated. I will keep you posted on my progress with this dilema.
-S
Always keep Tibu updated, it will prompt android id change when it actually changes.

Ok, I blew it! (he says sheepishly)
This is one of those situations where I should have check my premises.
I was updating my wife on my troubleshooting efforts including contacting Google and SplashData when she happened to mention that she actually does have another google account. She did not realize it had been linked to her phone before but after I added it back to her phone the problem with SplashID resolved.
I do appreciate everyone's helpful advice and I appologize for the wild goose chase.
Thanks again,
Steve
Hell of a goose!

I have an Atrix 4g running CM11. Google accounts used to work perfectly, but suddenly, I can't sync any more, and removing the accounts with intent of setting them up again rendered me unable to login any more, saying that the phone "can't get a reliable connection."
The only thing that changed that I can think of is that I installed Clean Master and a lot of other CM applications, such as the launcher, browser and the lockscreen. I don't see how this would affect it, however, because of the steps I've already taken to try and fix this.
And I've tried everything. From changing my android ID, to reinstalling CM11, to installing an update to CM11, to trying other ROMs (oddly, no other ROM besides CM11 could boot, which was also new behaviour). I know that the problem is in my device, because I can't sign in with any google account on it, but I can sign in with those accounts on other devices. I've tried everything, and I'm completely stumped as to what could cause this.
Bump. I really need a solution to this.

You must turn off the two step verification on your gmail account before logging into your sync your Google (motoblur) account to the phone.
Apparently the phone detects that the Google server is asking for additional information and incorrectly reports that your username and password do not match. At the minimum, the software should inform you that you need to turn off the 2-step verification and then try again.
