[Q] Missing Apps from App drawer - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm missing a few Apps from App Drawer that should be there.
some background info :
Recently switched roms from cm7 to superasop 8.2.
I did a full wipe and restored my apps + data using Titanium Backup.
Everything went fine until I rebooted the phone and found that Angry Birds, PocketCloud and Toki Tori are missing from the app drawer.
Went to settings -> applications and the apps are still there installed, just can't access them.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling through titanium backup as well reinstalling manually through android market.
Bug? Sorry I cannot post in the SuperASOP forum because of the stupid 10 post rule.

hmm i found out that the app is not in app drawer because I had moved it from phone memory to SD.

No one .... ?

I'm having the same problem since installing NSCollab 1.0.38 w/Matrix.
Apps show installed in Market but won't show up when 'All' apps are selected on the NS.

Had this before, I cleared market cache, uninstalled the app (the app was still showing up in apps menu) via Titanium, logged into market again, the app wasn't showing up there so I simply redownloaded it and deleted it properly afterwards.
Another option would be fixing permissions in cwm recovery. It's under advanced tab. Maybe also wipe /cache.

Problem with Market, stuck on installing

I had 3 apps that needed updating so I clicked update all. 1 app updated then I got a force closed, now the other 2 won't install and no matter what I try, it's stuck on installing. I tried clearing Market data and cache, I even uninstalled the 2 apps under manage applications.
Is there a way to reinstall Market, or reset it? I'm running nfinites stock .7 ROM.

I had the same problem. What you do is go Menu>Settings>Applications>Mangage Applications. Select the tab for all. Go to Market. Clear data and Clear cache. It will get rid of the persistent download that is causing market FC
Found a work around. Had to unmount the SD card, search the Market for the apps I needed to update, download and install, remount the SD card then move the updated apps to the SD card. Pain in the ass but it works.

Market Issue

After having issues with my Gallery and other things, I have flashed up to TNT 4.2 and did the supplicant and the market fix. I can see most apps in the market and I can install from the market, but when I go to MY APPS the only ones showing are my purchased apps. I manually restored apps from Titanium one by one, as I was not sure what I was doing. All apps are working but don't show under My Apps in the marketplace.
They do show in Settings under Downloaded applications. Any idea how to fix this? I have redone the market fix, numerous times.
Did you wipe your data/cache before or after you installed the supplement? I had the same problem because I didn't. So I did that and then did the market fix and it worked perfectly.
If that doesn't work try side loading a older version of the market and replace the current one. For a while I used the market apk that was on my moto droid, because i was having some problems with the one that comes with the rom.

Keep in mind that it seems that each one fixes the market, but hides apps that you could see previously. I have tried all three and have seen different apps that other wouldn't show.

Download one free app, from the Market. Then check "My Apps" again. This seems to be a requirement for all the sideloaded apps to show up.

I wiped data and cache before installing the ROM but did not wipe data and cache before the supplement. Should I just go to recovery and wipe data/cache now and then retry the market fix?. Will I lose anything by wiping data and cache? I am not sure what that does.

It wouldn't hurt to try. So I say go for it.
Robeet,
I d/l a free app and and that app along with my paid apps show but none of other free apps.
AJkid93, will I lose anything when I wipe data and cache?
Yes you will, but if you don't want to lose everything you can dl titanium backup and backup everything. You can also do a nandroid backup just in case wiping the data/cache doesn't help. This way you can just revert back to the way it is before you wipe all of the data.

[Q] can't prevent apps stopping

greetings,
I have a new GTablet, started with Tap UI version 1.0-2763. email began stopping, so installed clockworkMod Recovery, did backup, installed update.zip, which turned out to be Tap UI v 1.1-3588. email and more stops, so no help. Also, new problem -- even though System Storage sees \sdcard2, the photo, music and video apps don't see the card. So:
1. how can system be cleaned up to prevent app stopping?
2. how to get the apps to include \sdcard2? (Answer: do a Factory Data Reset)
Thank you
If u try titanium backup and clear the data app by app that worked for me

Downgrade Market?

Not sure if this is ROM specific, so I am unsure whether to post in General or on the Gummycharged 1.91 thread...
I would like to get the old Market working on Gummycharged 1.91.
I was able to get the old Android Market 2.2.6 using Gummycharged 1.85. Market Updater even updated to version 3.0.xx, which I uninstalled, and was able to get Market 2.2.6 working even after I as auto-updated.
Now I'm on Gummycharged 1.91 and I cannot get 2.x.x working. I've tried 2.2.6, 2.3.2, and 2.3.6. They all install and work after clearing data and a restart, BUT they always FC when selecting an app in the Market.
Any suggestions?
*edited out my Market 3.0.xx bashing...*
Have you tried Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, select ALL, scroll to Market and tap, choose "Clear data"? That's worked for some...
HTH
I bet you have an update installed. Check out data/app. If you go to your applications in settings you might see it there as well. Not sure if it will show up when the old version is installed.

Yes, I tried that multiple times. I had to do it on Gummy1.85 in order for the market to work at all. A restart was also required. Gummy1.85, as I recall, came with Market 2.2.6, so it is known to work with the older Markets. Unfortunately, Market 3.0.xx comes with Gummy 1.90 and 1.91.
I tried removing the com.android.vending.apk, as well as vending.apk (depending on Market version is installed) as well as clearing data. I also pulled the com.market.vending folder from /data/data as well. I also tried Titanium Backup recovery uninstall option, which would just hang on the "android with exclamation" icon during startup. Same issue, after clear data and restart market FC when selecting an app. I tried factory reset, clear cache, clear delvik cache, fix permissions to no avail. I reflashed Gummy 1.91, removed Android Market via Titanium Backup normal uninstall method, cleared data, cache, delvik, permissions, etc.
I am starting to think that this is a ROM-related issue.
I also tried various combinations of deleting android.com.vending.apk, vending.apk, uninstallting via Titanium backup, removing android.com.vending folder from /data/data with Root Explorer, restarting, clearing data, fix permisisons, clear delvik cache, reflashing ROM, and general cursing the new Market.
As for actually finding and comparing apps, I think I'll just use website (I really wish I could filter out the games from an app search, I get dozens of "space" games when I'm searching for astronomy apps, for example.)

I also uninstalled the updates via "manage applications" in settings. This worked on Gummy 1.85 which had the old market. Uninstalling the Market update only rolls back to 3.0.26 or whatever when on Gummy 1.85.
Thanks for the responses, though!

[Q] RH-01 Error when trying to open Google play store

I just rooted my phone from Jelly Bean 4.1 and am running the latest stable CM10 rom out. I also installed gapps, but wasn't sure if I had installed the right version. When I try to open the Google Play store, I get an error that says "Error retrieving information from sever. [RH-01]". My Wi fi and 4G are both on. I can access internet via stock browser. Also, when I try to search something it tells me that Gmail has stopped working.
same thing here, after i installed lots of apps to my microsd's 2nd partition using link2sd, i got all apps except system apps disappeared from 'My apps' at google play store though i could still see them as 'installed' when i search their names at google play store
i used link2sd to link around 900 mb of lib, dex and apk files, my second partition is ext 3, im using jellyblastv3 with kuro kernel that supports up to ext 4 my microsd is 16 gb and partition is around 1024 ~ 1078 mb
This didn't happen to me before, well im not used to link this lot of files but you know galaxy y has 195 mb internal storage and dalvik cache takes most of it and the apps that use app2sd method still take some space from internal so i also linked them.
The methods i tried :
Fixing using titanium backup market doc (after a cache, data cleaning of app store)
Tried to mess with link2sd, tried everything except 'relink all' but the problem is not about link2sd, all my apps are working fine
Deleting play store cache & deleting google framework cache and data, THAT led me to this error, while i was trying to get the other apps to show up in my apps list things gone worse.
I couldn't find any solutions on the internet for link2sd, been googling this for last 3 days, i'd appreciate any help
I've had the same issue. Erasing cache doesn't help, removing Google account doesn't help, reflashing doesn't help. I had to restore a backup to get the play store back.
I had the same issue with my phone, whenever I factory reset my phone I get that error. I had to flash through Odin, to another stock ROM and then go from there. Was never able to get around it or figure out why it wouldn't work.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Fixed but still got problems
My error was caused coz i messed up with 'google framework' at gemini app manager too much, it changes app auto runs and i didn't know anything about google framework back then, i re-enabled some autoruns and its fine now, you could also try that app, its free on google app store
BUT i still couldn't find a solution to this :
I have got total of 210 ~ 216 apps installed on my phone including system apps, theres only like 16 showing up on the market (which i reinstalled or newly installed them recently from google play store) the rest aren't displayed at 'my apps' page, but i can still see them as 'installed' when i go to their download pages.STILL i can't update them, while appbrain market tells me they are outdated (its expected as i didn't update any programs due to this problem for last 2 weeks) google play store just shows 'Open, uninstall' options at app's download page
Is there any ways to fix this without losing all my apps data? I tried reinstalling from old backups but no luck, i don't wanna lose my apps data and i don't know how to backup my data without apks included
Bump.
Anyone else figured out any fixes. This seems to be affecting several people.
Go to apps- all google play store, clear cache, data and disable. Then google services framework clear cache and data and force stop. Reboot. Should get a notification for updates and go back into apps- all scroll to the bottom and enable play store. This has worked for me the last few times I got this error.
By the way I solved the problem by flashing the correct gapps for 4.1
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
fix for my error
****EDIT**** : Can only get apps installed from google play store work, the rest (like installed from sd card) won't get linked to play store
looks like i found the fix, reinstall every single app (got 216 atm ) with their orginal APK without using titanium.It seems like titanium had problems while backing my apks up, perhaps its something about titanium failing to sync my data (i usually do full backups with data so this shouldn't happen) Devs should really create some apps - scripts to fix this kind of sync problems, i found only one app @ xda so far, but it scans the google play store database, not all of the databases on the phone, even if i point my ext as database it won't work, its so annoying how i gotta reinstall my whole 216 apps, probably gonna take one day cause i don't have backups of all my apks, only big ones (such as games).
if you don't wanna get same errors as i did :
use the default play store
NEVER use nandroid advanced restore unless you know what your doing
make sure titanium backup works well
always backup your data before flashing anything that has something to do with your system (such as roms, scripts)
NEVER use autorun managers on system apps (last time i disabled some autoruns about sms service, it took 1 - 2 days for my msgs to appear at my friends' phones.)

what is the right gapps?
Another problem...
seems like most of the apps that i install from my SD don't get linked to google play store, they aren't even in the database, only apps that are installed from google store got their links correctly, someone help please
NOTE : i also get 'error retrieving info from server, RPC:s-5:AEC-0 if i wipe dalvik cache via CWM
IMPORTANT UPDATE : It seems like my apps divided into 2 different adroid IDs, probably cause titanium wasn't able to detect my new ID,
Any suggestions about syncing my android apps' IDs without having to reinstall them?

check your FW version and proper gapps here: http://goo.im/gapps
None of these fixes have worked for me.
Anyone have something that's worked?
