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 .

Hello, new Galaxy Ace and curently in the process of customizing the **** out of it. Few questions:
1. Exactly what pre-installed apps can I uninstall safely? Device is rooted, on GB 2.3.5.
2. I plan on installing SaidyBoost, do I need to uninstall apps if I'm going to do this?
3. The thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1561806, could someone please tell me how I install a kernel that supports init.d, and should I install ext4lagfix?
4. To install it, do I just put the .zip on the SD, then update from recovery mode, and do I need CWM, and does this void the warranty (I'm guessing yes).
I'm sorry for the spiel; I'm usually the one doling out the advice but I am a total n00b to Android. Any help and time taken is much appreciated, thank you

1. You don't uninstall.. It's impossible. Maybe possibru if you have a file manager and you navigate into /system/app then mount it as R/W (read & write) and delete them (not so recommended though)
2.No need to do anything, just install it
3. Get yourself a ROM, and see in the ROM thread which kernel runs best with that ROM. Many kernels support init.d
4. Dude, forget about the warranty. Get rid of your paper, your warranty was gone the second you rooted your phone
Press thanks if i helped

I'm literally retarded, I can't find the thank button >.> tell me where and you shall receive.
It is possibru to uninstall the stock apps, I already installed a few. Just want to know which ones exactly.
Could you point me towards what I should download?
And I am keeping the warranty because if I really screw it up, I can hardbrick it on purpose and send it back for a new one. How shly

I see you are quite new
Soo, get yourself a recovery,boot into recovery, make a backup.
If you want to learn ROM development, this is the place for you ..
It will tell you what to do, and how to do..
After that you will learn to delete apps you dont want(ex.Maps;if u dont use maps)
Then you make a flashable zip and install it through the Recovery you installed previous
The thanks button is below the post im posting now
One better (IMO) option than uninstalling pre-installed apps (as this has been known to cause problems with updates and stability/performance for some) would be to use an app like Gemini App Manager to turn off Autorun settings (usually just turn off "On Boot Completed", but some other events can help also) for the apps you don't want to use. That way, these apps will not use up resources in the background without running the them yourself. That way you can keep the apps around in case some future update or something else requires their presence.

It's simple. Just more use of the geek-ish part of your brain.
If you don't want to mod a ROM, then just grab one from the Android Development Section of your phones thread, because they already have many useless apps removed, and some tweaks applied
If you want to learn more about ROM cooking PM me

Literally all I want is to install that ROM. THat is all. Nothing more, nothing less, I don't want a kitchen on my phone, I don't want to learn more developemnt, I know too much crap already. I don't want to edit the ROM, or any other stuff.
Are you telling me I need to do ALL that to my phone just to speed it up? Are my choices walk the tight rope of the Android kitchen or be n00b and download the pre-made one? Plesus Jesus let that be all.

Praise the lord thats it
Just get ur ass on a good ROM, and see watcha like in your rom. There is also the newest version of Android, the 4.0.4 for your phone. Just check it out in the Development Section. Search for AOKP (Android Open Kang Project) . Or you can always stick with a better 2.3.x ROM for your phone
Cheers bro

Hi,
I didn't find any ROM on the net for your phone, but this may be a good news for you! I found a device with same SoC as your device which has MIUI ROM. Here
Here is a guide on how to port it! Try it, it may work. I think it will as porting between 2 same MTK SoC's is really easy!
Cheers!

Well, what's wrong with your stock ROM? You can dump the system and/or make a nandroid backup in any custom recovery.

Basically , i was running the standard rom that came with my phone , i changed to NOVA launcher , but the phones normal launcher was still running the background.....so i rooted the phone and froze the original launcher that came with the phone as it was draining the battery.........anyway , i found the phone was running a bit slow , i had installed various apps etc..........Sooooo i thought , just reset the phone .....so because i did not unfreeze the original launcher , when it came to resetting , the phone now has no launcher due to me freezing it !
It looks as if most of the rom is still there as it does load up , it checks for sim cards etc but then stops at that point , even the phone signals come up.
So do you think it is worth using CWM to still back up the rom and use for porting to MIUI Jiake V8 version ?
If so , what command in CWM do i use to make a rom for using in porting .
Thank you for your help.

Have you enabled USB debugging on your phone? You can simply install apps through ADB, so you can install a launcher through ADB and/or push it to system!

But I think you are able to swipe down the statusbar, right? If not, then make a CWM nandroid backup, convert it into a flashable ZIP and port MIUI.

In the android recovery (3e) i have the option of Apply update from ADB
i have the following other options
reboot system now
apply update from adb
apply update from sdcard
apply update from cache
wipe data factory reset
wipe cache
backup user data
restore user data
Do i simply backup user data for my rom to port to MIUI ? or is there a simple way using the ADB update ?
With the ADB for the launcher update , how would i do that and how would the system pick up on my choice of launcher ? would i need to edit some lines of code to point towards my choice ?

Thank you for this , i had not tried to do this , yes i can get into my settings on my phone.... i wiped all the cache etc in the rocovery mode , then rebooted the phone , i then side swiped down to get into my settings.....i set up my google account...but when i load google playstore it just seems to hang...with the loading screen....i can even launch the browser from settings via the Apps setting menu....everything is working...but still no launcher....
i'm still a bit stuck on how to side load something like Nova launcher , so i can get my phone fully funcational again
I had hoped that with been able to set up my google account etc , the google store would of worked , then i could of just downloaded a launcher !
But hey i think i am getting somewhere today with this phone
Oooooooooh wow , thank you for the side swipe idea.....i cleared the data for the googlestore via the app settings , re-ticked the agree to google terms and conditions , then downloaded nova launcher !!!! looks as if things are working a bit better again
Brilliant i have even rebooted the phone and it loads straight to NOVA launcher
Can i still unfreeze the old launcher do you think ?
I would still like to convert to MIUI though

Yes, you can. Well, If you don't have an actual stock ROM then it's not that easy to port it. As you have to make a nandroid backup, then convert it into flashable ZIP. But you actually need to set the right mount points for your device in the updater-script. And I don't know how to find that out. So I would be statisfied with stock ROM! :angel:

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.
