Thanks

Didn't know that it's really not working but it is definitely not recommended to restore Gingerbread apps to ICS. Just backup app data via TB and install apps manually from market and then restore app data.
Best way, i think.

flash another rom, or odin to stock and reflash miui, the only way to get those apps is to use the market, amazon market, or some other alternate market. other wise reflashing is your only option, unless you can get someone to upload the apk's for ya.
How about titanium backup? do a nandroid backup, flash a different rom, titanium backup those apps, flash miui, restore nandroid, restore ttitanium backup
Easy enough right?

[Q] Some apps are not updating/showing up ?

hey , ive notice that most of my apps are not on the list for when it comes to updating & ect ? is it because i got the market update or my phone don't like me ? Thanks
Are you running a custom ROM?
If so a simple build.prop edit might resolve this.
Also are you using Titanium backup? If so then run market doctor through titanium.
Yes I am using a custom rom and i havent used tituam backup but i have done a backup before with recovery.

Only way I know is use titanium backup and run the market doctor. You have to buy the license to use that function I believe. I use it for backing up apps and app data only. Then I restore after I flash a new rom and everything goes back right where i had it before with the data. Saved games etc.

[Q] Many apps missing in android market

Hi! my problem is that i have flashed checkrom rev hd v1.0 and many apps is missing in android market e.g facebook. flash player and many many more. i have tried to flash other roms and factory reset but nothing happends. plz help
I know this problem. It seems that the market does not like custom roms. The easiest way to get them anyway, is to Google for the apk.
But be warned!
Don't use a random site. Use one that has a community and can be trusted.

Download titanium backup > menu > market doctor
Restores the links of your downloaded apps back to the market..
If your on about your apps are missing from flashing a custom rom then get titanium backup pro..batch all user apps+data and then batch restore them after each rom you flash ;-) handy app

CM9 Question,

Since CM9 is not compatible with Titanium Backup, i think so since when i restore apps and data using it, most of apps just dont work, so is there any other app that backup app and data just like titanium backup ? Full app with system data and everything. Sorry if this has been asked already >,<
Have you ticked follow all symbolic links in preferences/trouble shooting , this might help in future, that is just a guess though, it helped resolve a similar issue on the sgs1

I've never had issues with Titanium Backup in Stock ROM's, CM9, CM10 or even porting apps from Stock Gingerbread to CM9.
Are you trying to move System apps? That won't work, you can only restore user apps (=the ones you installed)

Restoring apps with Titanium Backup on JB

Why do JB rom cookers say do not restore apps with TB?
I have some necessary data so i have to use TB..
Is it okay if i install apps manually with Google Play and restore data only with TB?
Thanks.

Cause you might have bootloop after restoring data.
Simply you need 3 files with backup:
Contacts: .vcf
SMS: .xml
Apps: .txt (list of them)
I upgraded from ICS to JB yesterday and restored APP+Data for a few apps via TB. All of them work fine.
I didn't have any problems with TB on jb.
Upgrade your TB to the latest version.

Just make a nandroid backup and store it on your computer just in case something goes wrong. Then try to restore whatever you want. Just know that you are responsible for your device, so if you mess it up, you will have to solve it.
