I've looked all over for an answer to this, but I can't seem to come up with one. I've loaded Vegan 5.1 on my new GTablet and everything is working the way that I want it to. I've run into one problem... my tablet doesn't show all the apps in the market. The best example of this will be with "Stupid Zombies." If I search for that on my HTC Incredible, I get two results "Stupid Zombies" and "Stupid Zombies Adventurous." If I search for it on my Tablet, I only get the latter. I can search for Facebook and get "Facebook for Android" in the first three hits on my phone, but the tablet shows the list with that single app removed. Am I missing something? I've started going on a hunt for common apks that I have on my phone that I want on my Tablet, but I don't like that as the solution. Can someone assist?

Hi,
As the poster above mentioned search for "market fix" in these forums.
Actually, I thought that Vegan comes with some of the tweaks (fingerprint change) for market, but I think that the bottom line is that you'll find that (1) no one really knows what a "full market" would be (i.e., how would you know how many apps you don't see?) and (2) you probably, as far as I know, won't find one set of fixes that will allow you to see "all" of the apps in market, at the same time.
I've said it before in other threads, as far as I know, it's not 100% clear (technically) what criteria Google's market uses to determine what apps to show or not show, so without that knowledge, it's difficult to determine how to get around that.

Ah, I tried that before, but I couldn't find the google services framework. In retrospect, I think that I was trying to achieve it before logging in with my account. That got it all up and running. Thanks guys.
I've had a G tablet for a few months.... There are still certain apps that show up and pop away with the market fixes.
For instance, when I loaded my first rom, before I did the market fix, I could see WeatherBug and Wells Fargo Mobile in the market.....but hardly anything else. I loaded the two apps I just mentioned and then did the market fix. TONS of other apps showed up...ADW, Playon....all the normal stuff I'd expect to see....but No WF for WB.
I've tried 100 different ways to to them to show up, but no matter what Order I do things in....all the way from nvflash to reload and market fix, when I consider my market "fixed", just meaning that almost everything I search for is there, still no wells fargo or weatherbug.
The new Amazon app store helped with that alot. Now things that don't show up in the market, I can usually find on amazon apps.
The two programs I mentioned I've never been able to find in some of the newer ROMS...veganGB, the newest TNTs...

Exactly this. A fresh install of Vegan 5.1.1 and my purchased apps is missing a few (namely mlb11, launcher pro). If I do the market fix I am able to see mlb11 and launcher pro but a couple of apps that were listed before are gone (WII Controller IME, Gravitron live background are examples)
I am able to backup the apk's with titanium backup on my phone and install on my tablet so far when I need to.
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
Anyone else getting large numbers of apps (esp games) not showing as compatible in market?
e.g. ADW EX, Cut the Rope.
At first I thought it was just me, but I had a chat with another XDA member, who sent me a screenshot of the android market saying his tablet S was compatible with ADW. On mine, its clearly greyed out. So I'm thinking there's something wrong with my tablet or google account?
Any hints appreciated
Hello,
Just because you mentioned about cut the rope game, i installed it and it plays OK (sony s 16gb).
Chris
sh-t that confirms it. Theres something wrong with my market account.
I've written to several app devs and they all say their app is marked compatible.
The two 'test' cases I'm using is cut the rope and ADW EX. Both are greyed out in web market, and just do not appear in tablet market.
I've tried clearing the cache and force stopping, no dice.
Anybody seen this before?
I just looked at market to see if I could find "cut the rope" and it shows up, and is compatible with my sony tablet s. It shows on my tablet market as well.
ADW EX also shows up here. no problems with them what so ever. I got the sgpt111us/s model.
There are a lot of Gameloft games that you have to sideload. And Gameloft does not bother to answer their support emails.
I had to side load the tivo application from my rooted OG to my tablet, but it works fine. Someday I will buy a premier so i can actually use it though!
Hello
I have this problem too.
I asked Sony support (Russia) about this problem.
They said that I could:
1. Clear market cache. It doesn't work.
2. Clear data. It doesn't work.
3. Delete update for market. It doesn't work.
4. update information about tablet from web android market. Here I have question :how could I do this?
I suspect its something to do with regions and region locking for certain apps, tablets and user accounts.
e.g. I am accessing market from Hong Kong location, but I'm normally based in Australia, and my google account/credit card etc. is all Aussie. I'll wait to see what happens when I get back to australia.
If there are region restrictions based on app, user account etc. IT SHOULD BE MADE CLEAR. google support fail (again....) its enough to make you consider a fricking fruit machine some times

The above posts both provide a workaround/partial solution. Here is my suggestion...
If you choose to try Old Market, when you launch it you can choose "old" or "new" market. It requires root permissions to work. After selecting which Market you would like, it will reboot the device and, once it is booted, the market you chose will be installed. Take note that I did in fact still see some free apps that weren't installed, but not all of them. Perhaps they were only the apps that were downloaded to this specific device/ROM.
That said, the "old" Market is indeed the very old V2 Market. I went back to "new" Market (V3), and it upgraded itself back to Google Play after a little while.
Unless you truly like the old interface of the Market, I'd recommend you go with CosmicDan's suggestion of logging in to Google Wallet and viewing your transaction history. This will give you a list of only the apps you have purchased. Unfortunately you can not install them to your device from there, but at least you can see only the apps you have purchased without seeing every app you have ever downloaded.
--- Original Post ---
Is there a way to view only one's purchased apps in the new Play Store? The new interface for the My Apps section does not seem to have a way to do this like it used to, instead showing seemingly every app one has ever downloaded, with purchased apps mixed in (in no logical order).

Big time bump on this! They really do need to add a tab that shows purchased not just installed and history.
Just ran across this. Hope there is a fix in the works. Not being able to sort the apps is a major FAIL.
I let my son have my old droid and he went crazy downloading what looks like every free app offered....my mistake for not creating a junk gmail account. Now I have literally hundreds and hundreds of apps listed in my app section of the play store.
Bump, I would like to know also
It appears that even the app management section of the Google Play website doesn't have this capability. On the positive side, the site looks great! -_-
This is just wrong, when you've bought allot of apps and downloaded plenty of free apps.
There's got to be an easier way to see what you've bought and redownload!
Someone got a clue?

This is such a fkn annoying issue. BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The other thing is there should be a tab to multi select app installs so you aren't directed to the install screen and forced to start from the beginning of the main screen after you go back. If that is not an option at least add the ability to install "ALL" paid apps.
Why in the hell would we not get the option to see purchased apps only but we get the option to see "ALL" downloaded apps paid or unpaid. That's just fkn ridiculous
P.S. To anyone that is going to tell me to roll back or move previous apk versions to system/app or even use an app to do it for you and blah blah blah. I have tried everything.
The closest I got was using the apk I will attach for everyone here. Be sure to unzip it and move the file to your phone and use a file explorer to install it.

so I should be able to choose which market I want to use on the fly when I install this apk?
This has got to be one of google's biggest recent FAILS.
It's been like this for over a month now, and what seems like a very simple and basic fix hasn't even arrived yet. Do you all think they are even aware of this being an issue for us?

Not likely any time soon in my opinion. I'm quite positive that they knowingly made the decision to change (read remove) the list of only paid apps in the Play Store, in an effort to "improve" the app. Unfortunately.
.— Powered by Nexus —.
Another Google Fail just like the crappy resolution contact pictures that they refuse to fix. Thanks google for making have to make duplicate phone contacts and link everything. Also thank you for getting rid of showing only the paid apps.
Google has always been a piece of.. garbage, but as of late, they have just been, a piece of... junk..
Well, I do not think Google forgot to have that view. From their point of view it absolutely makes sense:
If you forget about an app you bought some day, you might end up buying another one, providing the same functionality later. And that is where they get money from, not you re-installing an already bought app.
It does not go too well with the "don't be evil" motto, but this was clearly a deliberate choice by Google.

The r2 works fine for me. I've put it to /system/app … I had to delete the app data to make it run again after a reboot, though.
Hi, I just received my Truesmart + today, and I tried to install the google playstore and while I was able to get the APK into the watch, after it installs the playstore it fails to open.
So basically whenever I press the playstore button it'd open for half a second and the whole program just vanishes like if it got reverted back to the homescreen..... Ive also downloaded several different version of playstore and havent had any luck either...
I was wondering if you guys know if its possible to even install the google play store and get it to run on this model??
The specs of my watch are:
Android Version: 5.1
Baseband version: MOLY.WR8.W1449.MD.WG.MPV5, 2015/08/24 16:00
Kernel Version: 3.10.72
Build Number: Omate_Truesmart+_V1.1
Custom Build Version: OUI 3.0
Please help me out, I dont want to end up with a brick =(
I am curious about this too (was supposed to get mine today but the mailman messed up) Did they not include the OStore or some sort of other app program? Are any apps preloaded?
You'll also notice that you can't add a Google account within Settings-> Accounts.
The only way around that so I'm actually able to add a Google account is by sideloading "Google Services Framework" & "Google Account Manager" (in addition to "Play Services").
However, even with these installed, Play Store still doesn't work - it launches but won't connect.
Hopefully a solution is found.
Until then, I'm fine with using my LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE.
Pre-installed Apps are pretty sparse:
> Phone
> SMS
> Exchange
> File Manager
> Browser
> Calendar
> Clock
> Gallery
> Downloads
> Contacts
> Search

*UPDATE*
I've reached out to Laurent LePen (CEO of Omate) & told him the usual method of making the Play Store work (by sideloading the 3 Apps I mentioned) doesn't work on the Omate TrueSmart+. He said they're rolling out an update next week to fix that.
So hopefully, next week it'll work.
*fingers crossed*
Wow, releasing a watch without its own OStore supported seems like a big mistake. Their Facebook discussion also seems to suggest that they'll be pushing an update by the end of the year, so hopefully that holds true.
I was able to install Google search and google now launcher, but google play store won't work without "google play services" and I haven't found a version of that .apk that will not keep crashing on the Truesmart+
Since google play services keeps crashing, the play store stays on a "Checking Info" screen that keeps spinning and spinning...
Same issue here, obviously...
com.google.android.gms_8.4.89_(2428711-234)-8489234_minAPI21(armeabi-v7a)(240dpi).apk should be the correct version of Play Services, but it still crashes on me...
Does anyone have any newer versions of the Services Framework and Account Manager APK's?
Anyone, any updates?
Edit: There will be a firmware update this weekend which will pus the OStore... No Play STore, but at least it's something for now...
I just unboxed my truesmart+ today.
I think it is not useful without google service inside.
I can't sync my contact nor get my paid apps on it, it is really a bit disappointing.

Just curious, if Aptoide does the same thing as the Play Store, did we really need the Play Store? I'm away from my device so I can't test it, but it seems Aptoide has many of the same mainstream apps as the Play Store (Maps, YouTube, etc)
Could someone please answer my question re: Aptoide? Is this a viable alternative? (from a technical perspective, please no need to go into politics) Thanks.

Aptoide will work for free apps, if you install "My Paid Apps" from Aptoide you may also be able to install some of your paid apps as well. Aptoide's biggest drawbacks are much smaller number of apps, less security, sometimes apps do not get updated as often, not all paid apps will be accessible.
Another option is Amazon App Store.

Aptoide is a viable alternative to Google Play, but only if you are very careful and very skilled at being able to recognize and avoid trojanized versions of apps. The majority of people hosting apps there are well intentioned, I guess, but there are also a large number of maliciously modified apps to be found there, and cracked premium pay apps are included.
Using Aptoide over the Play Store, then, is not a good idea unless you are very skilled or have other means of avoiding Android malware mixed in with the many legitimate apps available there. If you get apps there that are really hosted there by their real original developers, for example, you can feel pretty secure.

Thank you both for your replies! Referencing your statement above, if I download only the apps marked with a green shield marked "trusted" should I be ok? (Do I trust the trust mark?) I'm only looking for Maps, YouTube, SWApp, Gmail, Amazon Music, Pandora.
