Market Issue - G Tablet General

To this forum and those that work hard I first want to say thank you very much. From rooting my Droid 1 and now my Droid 2 I came to find this site and love it.
I now have a Gtablet and followed the detailed directions for rooting. I installed Vegan 5.1 and loving my tablet. Followed the market fix and was just wondering will all the apps in the market show up? When I go to the market only certain apps show up. I have done the market fix 3 times and still the same apps.

I was able to get most of the apps to show up - Launcher Pro, Titanium Backup, Dolphin HD and a lot more. Some would only show up for me before the market fix - Firefox, Samurai 2, Vendetta Online, and some other Tegra games. I didn't look before I did the fix but I can't find Google Earth after the fix either.
I personally tried doing the Titanium Backup market fix as well as the one by clearing market cache and google services framework manually, stopping both, etc. - neither helped no matter how many times I did them to get any more apps to show up.
Not sure if anyone can help get more apps to show up on the market regularly like Firefox and Samurai 2.

[Q] Android Market Missing Some Apps

I did the Market fix and was able to get access to a somewhat working Market.
I signed on with my main account where my Nexus One's apps are also tied to but when I went to 'My Apps' in the new Market screen, there were only two listed... No Signal Alert Pro and Battery Indicator Pro.
They're both paid apps, and I can't find any of the others through searching for them either.
LauncherPro is missing, as is the other 112 apps that I should be able to find. Angry Birds is missing too, even though I never downloaded it in the first place.
Is there any way to get around this?
EDIT:
I'm also unable to download AppBrain through the browser or through my computer. I might be able to get some more of the ones I want back if I could.
Reapply the market fix here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845175 and follow it step by step dont skip anything. You should get most of your apps back.

It worked!
Well, sort of. I got all my paid apps back, that's really good! But, all the rest of them, my free downloads, are gone still (I was looking in 'My Apps').
I just searched for LauncherPro and that's there.
So, there are some free apps in the Market (though, I downloaded this one to my Nexus One, and since they're on the same account, shouldn't it show up there too)?
YouTube also doesn't show up in 'My Apps' either, and it is obviously on both my phone and my GTablet.
You have to remember your Nexus One is Market approved the G Tablet is not Market approved as of yet.

Yeah, and that's a bummer...
Anyway, during the last few hours, I was able to get Appbrain onto my GTablet using the Market (searching for it actually made it come up).
Then, using their website, I added all the non-GPS-or-Phone-type apps to my new 'GTablet' list and they downloaded and successfully installed (this was after doing a single reboot)-- they all also showed on the Market too.
I got LauncherPro back (too bad, I might have to pay again to get the Pro features back) and most of the other cool apps I had before (minus the phone-related-or-GPS-location apps).
Except for:
TV.com (as someone else mentioned; too bad I loved watching this on my Nexus One)
TubeMate (the regular site works well enough through Skyfire )
Nexus Revamped Live Wallpaper (I'll find something cooler, like in that thread around here)
and that's it. Everything mostly works (had to remove a few that just gave black screens, only 3 of them) and you can see my app list right here:

New gTab and questions

My wife surprised me last night and took me out to get my gTab a week early! I brought it home and charged it, played with the default installed for a bit, and as we all know...it was awful. I proceeded to install VEGAn b5.1.1, that went as smooth as one could want...15 minutes and I was chugging along on a MUCH better/faster interface. The issue I am seeing now is there are certain apps (not Angry Birds) that aren't showing in the Market. I can't seem to find ADW Launcher, Facebook or Launcher Pro. Any thoughts on this? I cleared the cache and user data when I did the install so I don' think there should be any lingering issues there.
Thanks
Scott
When they are talking about clearing the cache and data for the Market fix, they are talking about clearing it for that app and not the full cache/data wipe when installing the ROM.
Menu/Settings/Applications/Manage Applications and then select the All tab, scroll to find Google Services Framework and Market. You clear the data/cache of those and force stop them. Back out to the main home screen and try to access the Market again. It should error out....reboot the device and after it boots...just wait for a few minutes. Try the Market again...it should ask you to accept it's terms again and hopefully show you more apps then before.
It's just one of those things with having a device that isn't supported by Google and hacking the Market to work.
LauncherPro is one I've seen appear and disappear in the available apps on my Gtablet running VEGAn 5.1. Without real Google support, even tricks and hacks can only go so far.
Luckily for me, I have a Motorola Droid and use that to grab anything my tablet doesn't see and then push it to my Dropbox account and get it from there for my tablet.
Most things I can see with all the Market fixes, do-overs and what not. My test being LauncherPro....saw it once...then it never appeared again after many "fix" attempts. That particular app is also available from the developers site ( http://www.launcherpro.com/ ).
This (using Dropbox) really works well since my other tablet will not boot so once I nvflash boot it....it needs to stay on. Market fixes (requiring a reboot, etc..) aren't possible, so Dropbox has been awesome for that tablet.
Two things that may help
Bluetooth File Transfer might help.
I put this link up a few days ago because I had the same problem.

Also, This video really worked for me with getting full market (roughly 98.9% really) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-ny...eature=related

Thanks in advance
Edit: Sorry for posted in wrong (developmet) forum. Posted in a hurry then take my kid to doctor appointmet.

not sure why, but can't get it to work, i've tried step 9 and everything...
Worked for me.
Thanks

Skeptical at first but I did see all the apps show up he mentioned. None of those would show up before either. Very cool.
My market worked right out of the box with Vegan 5.1.1. Those apps you listed above were downloaded to my gTab the day after my ROM install, no hack required. Hmmm....
I am also running VEGAn beta 5.1.1. At first a lot of apps didn't show up in my Market but then after I booted into recovery with ClockworkMod then erased all data, then erased cache, then erased delvik cache, then reflashed VEGAn beta 5.1 and rebooted, then booted into recovery again and flashed the VEGAn 5.1.1 update and rebooted.
After all that all of the apps that didn't show before showed up for me including the elusive Samurai 2: Vengeance. Now all is well an my tab is running better than ever.
Naw... Didn't work for me. Running Adam 1.1.0.
All the apps listed in OP are there and were there in the beginning, can't find CoPilot thou, even with the changes....
Good try, thanks.
Did not work for me and I am using:
[ROM]Tnt G-Harmony-Gingerbread Elements(Updated-1/22)
I wish it would though, thanks for trying.
I was going to try this out but I found all of the apps you posted. I just ran the vegan update supplemental. I don't know if that made a difference though. I don't remember firefox showing up when I made the switch to vegan a few weeks ago. That is the bad thing about getting old, can't remember.
I still can't find dolphin HD on the market. I had to download it from freeware lovers. Themes, walpapers, all sorts of dolphin add ins show up but not the browser.
Did not work for me using vegan as well
This does work on vegan 5.1.1 found dolphin hd, copilot, and everything else i searched for. good info
Google Earth?
I did your fix and I can now see Angry Birds in the Market, which I couldn't see before. I'm running Vegan 5.1.1.
Can anybody here see Google Earth in the Market? It's not showing up for me.
Based on my research the market is doing some decision making server side now. Curious to see how that pans out for these fixes.
Hmm Tank Hero shows up but Super Manager still does not. However, other apps by its publisher do show up.
The only thing not showing up for me on the market from the attached pics is Mulit-picture-live, and I didnt apply this fix.
I used the method posted from the video on another thread.
Running Vegan5.1.1 and having a lot of stuff not show up in Market. IMDB, Flixster Movies, NFS Shift, SIMI clock, Launcher Pro and many other odds and ins. I do see things like Gun Bros., Sims 3, Samurai Vengence, Fruit Ninja and others.
App Brain, as many other sites, push me into the market for downloads and I end up with Not Found messages. I try to go around this and use Market from the web - where I can find absolutely everything. However, when you try to install from web the market forces you to select you device - Vega Tab - is the option that displays in the drop down and it is typically followed by message - device is not compatible with app.
So...any thinking on how to change our identifier from Vegan Tab to Xoom or something that would have full access to the Market? My biggest frustration with ViewSonics tab isn't the hardware or the ROMS, its Google themselves.
This is so bizarre. First of all this didn't work for me on Vegan 5.1.1.
What's really weird is that I wiped and reinstalled Vegan 5.1 and the update to 5.1.1 this morning, did the usual clear data and cache on market and framework and then I did see Angry Birds, and Gun Bros, but I didn't install them.
It's literally only about 6 hours later, and I can't see those now, not having made any changes.

Not to burst any bubbles.... but I turned on my g-tab today, went to the Market, and it asked for me to read the T&Cs and click Accept. I said, 'oh no'. But upon accepting, I am seeing all the stuff you said, and a lot of stuff I didn't before (like Stupid Zombies fer instance). With most things with the Market, I blame/give credit to...google.
I should add... I have tried to add a bunch of apps that I can now see... Firefox, Stupid Zombies, Gmail and Jumpgate Live Wallpaper... and they are all stuck on Starting download. Also had previously added Tegra Zone from the web market, and it hasn't shown up.
And another update... so with things stuck, I did a typical market fix. Well that made all but the Gmail downloads disappear. But Gmail wasn't downloading still. Eventually it did, a re-start or two later. Tegra Zone, which is listed as being downloaded on my account, never showed. And when I try to install now from the web, it says it is incompatible. *sigh*
Worked for me. Needed step nine tho. Still not the full market tho. I still don't see apps I get on my sprint hero.
Z Tab, latest version from these forums. The market works the same as before trying.

[Q] Weird market problem

So, I did the market fix found in the development section (clearing framework and market data). The market finds almost all apps (launcher pro, go launcher, dolphin, etc). However, it will not find any of those tegra based games like Samurai Vengeance. I did download that game, I was able to search for it BEFORE I did the fix. However, now I can't update it or anything. Some other things I am unable to find in the market are things like Worms by EA, etc. Does anybody know what is going on, or this just how it is with our tab?
Between the market and hunting apks on the net I can find everything. The market has gotten better since day one and will get better over time so a little patients and a lot of net searches pays off. Didn't even know there was a worms for android... the hunt is on!

Market acting weird

Hello,
I've noticed a huge problem with the Android Market. This never happened when I first got my Nexus S, it just started happening. A few days ago I uninstalled Angry Birds Rio from my device and when I tried to reinstall Market wouldn't show the app. So I shrug it off and open up market.android.com on my laptop and tried to install it from there. But it didn't work. It said "This item cannot be installed in your device's country.". I live in the Maldives. I thought it had something to do with money or something and it was Rovio's (Angry Birds maker). I decided there was nothing I can do because, well, some people don't even know my country exists. But today the same thing happened again, I accidentally removed "Pulse News" app and went to the market and the same thing all over again. Didn't show up in the market app so I checked market from browser and it was there and the same message came up. Lots of apps disappearing from the market, the same message when I try to install using browser. Even when I scan QR codes to go to direct market links it doesn't work. Surely this has to be a bug of some sort?

Try clearing your data in settings>applications>manage applications>all>scroll down to market and clear data and see if that helps.
If it doesn't work there's a good chance that you really can't download it from your country.
Or
Google did say that the android market will be getting updated in the next couple of weeks and that may be causing the issue.

Yeah I already did that, didn't work.
Looks like I'll have to wait and see what happens.
EDIT:
Ok this is crazy!!! I can't even install ADW! There has to be something seriously wrong!
I've had some issues with the market as well. Are you getting a download unsuccessful error. I fixed this same issue with a new password and a factory reset (I changed my password FIRST!)
Sent from a bird cage, with a swing!
Market Tech support is full of this problem :/
over half of the installed apps don't show in My Apps on the phone
many i can't install, funny thing is doubleTwist via market.android.com gives me that "your device's country" popup, while Market installs it just fine
paid apps i already bought and have on my phone are now marked as not supported and don't show on Market or in My Apps....free don't show in My Apps....meaning no updates to 25 out of 40ish apps installed
Top Paid disappeared from market.android.com....Featured on web and phone now features only 5 apps
whatever they did, they really did it badly
updates, hard resets, any changes to my phone are now not an option until this is fixed :/
This has happened recently in my country(UAE) too. Heaps of previously available FREE apps are now no longer available on the market. Bad enough I can't access paid apps now, I can't access all the best free app. Google has forced me to using this fix for this, use Market Enabler or some other SIM emulation app to trick Market into thinking you're in the US. This requires root. The non-root option is to use an alternative black market(with all the risks).
@babydoll25 no i am unable to even initiate a download.
Google really needs to fix this. A lot of apps I used to be able to install no longer show up in the market and am unable to install from the website either. I don't want to root my phone (not yet anyway) to be able to install free apps. I already tried changing my password but that didn't work and don't think a factory reset will fix it as my brother's Nexus One has the same problem. I think this started happening recently as when I first got my NS I downloaded all these apps. Now they are gone. I find no reason apps like ADW launcher should not be available globally!
Anyone know if Google responded to this issue?
