[Q] Some apps not showing up on certain roms? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have noticed that on some roms (Mostly AOSP, as CM 7.1) some of my purchased apps do not show up as downloadable. When I search for them, they're also gone...
Why is this happening? It seems that some apps are locked out from the CM version of the market. How do I fix this? I would really like to use CM 7.1, but what does it matter if I can't install all my favorite apps?
Just installing APK's from file manager is NOT a solution, I want to know how to show them permanently inside the market.

I have seen the same issues, maybe someone could help

That'd be great
Same issues with some apps just not appearing in the market on some roms?

Maybe the ROM/Phone info the Market is getting isn't compatible with the apps you're trying to download. Have you tried if Market Enabler lets you download them?

I thought that Market Enabler lets you choose a different provider. That's not the problem. I can do it on CheckROM, but not on CM 7.1. I will try it out to see if I'm wrong.

Instead of all this, can you tell me where I can get a fast, good performing ROM (It has to be good at 3D) that actually works correctly with the market?

I'm with Hypedroid and its going pretty good atm, but I don't know if I have the same issue as you're having without knowing which apps are the one not showing in market. You can also try to install Chainfire3D driver to improve games.

Thanks for the tip

Simple solution .
Download apps on a rom that works .
Copy apps to a folder on your external sd card .
install your custom rom and then install the apps .

[Q] Market apk for stock

So i am looking for the android market apk for the stock ROM. so far all the ones i have found on XDA force close when opening. Any ideas without switching over to TNT
You can't do this merely by running an .apk file.

I have stock running with market app without doing all these steps. All you have to do is flash with the enhancement pack and do the market fix.

I downloaded this:
TnT_Enhancement_3452_vv1.rar
Will this just install enhancement pack on my stock Gtab?
I won't lose installed programs will I?
I am like many wanting to keep my stock and just get market on this.

I don't think you will but I guess you may lose a few - I think I lost and had to install angry birds from viewsonic website. I would suggest back up (I guess there are many threads on how to do back up _ I didn't do mine).
I just posted a howto on how I made it happen in this thread

Nope, not without you telling us what rom you where on, and what rom you flashed.
Also if its a custom rom its more than likely the thread you got it on lists what had been removed and how to put it back.

At first, I changed to yakka rom v4 then I found that the samsung apps is missing..
Then I changed back to the initial rom which is criskelo rom v34
and the samsung apps is still missing until I restore back stock rom,
then I found my samsung apps.. But it disappear again when I changed to yakka rom..
That's the story.. And I can't find the solution for the problem..
This will probably be because the new ROM has had the taken out by the Dev thats why you cant see them.You can download them from here clicking on the blue link next to each app you want.

The real solution would be for you to have read the rom builders description of each rom .
Most devs remove Samsung Apps as a waste of space to build a lighter rom .

If you check in the threads, where will most likely be flashable zips with the removed apps to put them back. (I found one in the Criskelo thread for example)
As far as the apps on the spreadsheet, they might work but I dont know which rom they are from, and what version they are, best idea is to get them from the rom thread.
Or use a different rom that doesn't remove anything.

Sure, but the devs mostly want to build fast and light ROMs and as you see you still have options to get the Samsung Apps; propably you find the same info in all of the ROM threads

Custom ROMs and application development

Hi,
I recently installed a custom ROM in my phone.
What I noticed is that the problem is either that my phone drivers can't be installed for some reason (I have a SGS being treated as a Google Nexus S), or I just can't implement applications.
I mean that when I try to build an application on Eclipse, my phone is not recognized, like I don't have it plugged in.
Which one is it?
anyone?

What do you mean by "I just can't implement applications"?
Do you mean you cannot install apps from the market? If so, are you sure you installed a ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S? Have you manually changed your screen DPI or is the ROM modified in any way regarding the screen DPI?

I didn't describe my problem, my bad.

Install the drivers for your device.
Comes up I had the drivers. I tried reinstalling them and it didn't work again.
I also tried it in another PC with no luck
Not sure if it matters but the custom ROM I have is Dark Knight 3.

I have had the same problem. I have tried everything I know how to do, swapping the APK's through ES File Exploreer, flashing the new apps over the old ones via Safestrap, deleting the old apps and flashing the new ones in Safestrap..... nothing. One guy suggested "delete old app, reboot, move new app to correct file path in ES, fix permissions, reboot". This worked for Gmail but then my phone updated Gmail right away and I lost the blacked out app and didn't feel like doing it again. I like the ROM though so 3.99 isn't a big deal to me. The method I used for Gmail should work for all your apps, I just haven't had the time to do it. Just make a nandroid first, in case you delete your launcher by mistake.
What do you mean 3.99

No all the apps I purchased from the play store can't verify their there license ever since I flashed this rom

Problems with excess apps

I have a problem with excess apps like Google Films/Google music etc. i dont use them and need.
I would like to install pico Gapps and cant. i did brick my phone 2 times today. Would like somone to help me.
You cannot flash Google app packs on Touchwiz ROM (but I'm not 100% sure ) If you want to remove these apps install ES File Explorer or something similar, give it root privileges, find tab with system apps and uninstall ones you don't want.

If it is compatible with your device, I recommend EpsilROM. It does not come with those kind of GApps and is stock based
