[Q] no download link in market - T-Mobile LG G2x

Hey everyone, I want to preface this with apologies if this indeed happens to be an issue previously resolved, i just cannot for the life of me seem to find any info on the subject. This is a big problem for me. For a frame of reference I am running CM7 with Fauxs kernel with the newer looking market update. Dont know when i got this update, just kinda happened, but then you know, i hate it. First of all i cant figure out how to browse all the apps like i used to. In the old market i could browse everything and see if i wanted to mess around with stuff. Now they only show the tops in certain categories or you have to search for it yourself. Hate that. Also, i am having an issue with downloading apps. The little blue download button is just not there on most apps and I am failing to figure out a reason why. some apps have it some dont. some will have it one day and not have it the next. I am really confused and need help. If you know whats wrong with me Id appreciate a hand!
Thanks,
Depressed Android User

Hmmm still having a difficult time seeing what the problem is. The only solution i can think of is to re-flash the latest CM7 Rom along with the latest gapps and make sure to wipe factory data, cache, dalvik, format/system, and fix permissions.
Hope this helps. But when i mess around with my phone too much and do something stupid, this method always works for me. Good luck sir.

I have the exact same problem. Im running GB on my g2x.

sooooo happy im not the only one with this problem, i dont feel like such an idiot anymore. I install clean everytime i install. I wonder what is causing this as some apps have download links while others do not. If anyone wants to try something, look up "sixaxis compatibility" see if you can download and install, that is the latest app to give me the issue

Yup on mine it shows the download button.
Try this. Go to settings, Applications, select Market and clear cache and clear data. After that re-open Market and see what happens.

Some apps has compatibility issues therefore no diwnload link would appear. Try native android lcd densities like 160 or 240 and it should work.

ok changing to 160 to see if that works. By the by, what device uses 160 as native res?
edit: 160 worked for the sixaxis app. crazy how that works. now if i could figure out how to get my status bar to look alright in this 160 format id be stoked hahaha
Edit 2: by the way, hahhaha i went back to 240 just to see what its like, i can barely function! everything is soooo big! at 200 i have fat screen real estate and the icons and such are much more comfortable on my eyes. its nicer to have more line items on the screen too, like in my music apps, more artists and less scrolling. win

Yes it is.

When you select a category, swipe the list to the left or right to view top paid, top free, most recent, etc. Is that what you were looking for in terms of viewing all apps?

For people who say they can't browse. You know you can swipe the screens left and right to see all the lists like you used to? And now it has top NEW paid and top NEW free which IMO is WAYYY better than it used to be.

[MORPH] HDPI Battery Morph: Dots and Arrows & Arrows Only [updated 8-26-10]

Here's another battery morph, because I know you guys like your custom batteries. Plus being one of the only animated icons, they are fairly fun to work on.
This Morph converts your current battery icon to a series of six dots. As the dots drain, empty dots replace them. When you plug in to charge up, behold–it turns into a series of arrows! wow, hahaha. (idk, i like it...)
This probably wont work with the percentage overlays, as the icons are pretty complex, and dont really facilitate great legibility of the percentages. But one can only do so many circle and square batteries, so I'm branching out to do other ideas and shapes.
Standard disclaimer: Do a nandroid BU before you flash this. I have no idea whats on your system, or what may cause it to break, therefore you flash this at your own risk, as with pretty much every morph.
If you are experiencing issues with metamorph hanging while trying to install, make sure you have usb debugging turned on in your system settings. yes, you really need to do this. go to settings-->applications-->development-->make sure usb debugging is checked!
If that doesnt work check this list made by morpher Formel-LMS. Must be that German efficiency...
1. Have you downloaded the correct files for your ROM?
2. Have you debugging enabled in the Android Menu?
3. Install "Titanium Backup" start it and hit the "Problems?" Button, then it installs a correct busybox version. This is required!!!
4. In Metamorph, press Menu, play with the applying speed. Choose a speed above 4200!
5. Never check the "Disable startup checks" in Metamorphs settings
6. Never, never, never rename the zipfile. If you do this, you'll get error messages like "Theme Control File Missing"

This is working for me on CM6, and I imagine it will work on many other roms as well.

==================update 8-24==============
Here's an arrows only version as well that some have requested. This one functions a bit differently than the arrows on the dots version, so check out the screenshots and all icons jpg to see if you like.
=================update 8-26===============
Made some serious improvements to the Arrows versions. Now have both dark and light versions for different colored bars, as well as improved icon size and spacing for better viewing. Check out icon image below.

Do you have usb debugging enabled? Its been in the op in red since I posted, but I cranked the text size up so no one will miss it again. If that isn't it, you prob need to do a full data/cache wipe, including dalvik cache and reinstall your rom. If you are running a rare/uncommon rom, i suppose the pathways could be incorrect, but I have yet to encounter that issue. If so let me know what rom it is, and ill take a look at the pathway and repackage it for that particular rom if thats the issue. But try the other stuff first.

Sorry, but there isnt really anything else I can do to make it compatible for you. There is nothing in the zip that could cause any of that stuff to happen honestly. Its just a zipped folder with some images and xml telling the images where to go in your system.
I would think that if it worked before you themed, but then your phone went crazy after you themed, that there may be an issue with the theme or the way you applied the theme or something else.
That's why I dont create themes though, too much room for something to go wrong. Morphs are much lighter, more stable in my experiences, and easier to apply. But that's just my two cents.
Can you make a version with just the arrows, please?

Tiamat 2.0 Manta Ray Feedback

Since I can't yet post in the Dev section want to pass along my initial feedback on the new Tiamat ROM (2.0).
- First and foremost GREAT job. I was very disappointed with the HC 3.2 release and went back to Taimat 1.1 immediately.
- Would love to have back the new features from BRD's 1.1 mod pack. Screen capture and the enhanced Shutdown screen were awesome.
- Still can't connect my camera in Tiamat. Works in stock 3.2 . . . but no way am I going back there.
- Like others I really don't care for the new battery icon.
Again, terrific job Team Tiamat.

It's awesome! I don't mind the battery icon. Just add quick boot and there's a screen capture app (I forgot its name), so I don't care about mod pack (I didn't install it when I was on Tiamat 1.1).
I love the logical placement /naming of the MicroSD and the usbOTG.
All is smooth and working well. I added back ADW Ex launcher and that makes it just perfect.
just cant update maps very annoying.

When you say that you can't "update maps", are you referring to Google Maps? Is it a question of not being able to update the version from Marketplace or something in the functionality of the Maps app not updating?
Thanks

The only other quirk I've seen is with Folder Organizer - the "tabs" at the top are no longer tabs, just overlapping words. Otherwise a great improvement over stock with full SD access!

I hadn't noticed the ADW settings issue until I saw it mentioned this morning. Yeah, mine's affected too. It doesn't bother me because there's nothing that I need in ADW settings, but it's weird what does get affected. One of my favorite casual games used to work fine full screen but now it looks like it's phone sized and there's no zoom/stretch to fit setting available for that one app. Go figure?
Thanks for the quick response.
Any wifi users with stock 3.2 using adw ex? Are you experiencing this too?
I tried editing the packages.xml too. No Bueno..... Does anyone have a fix for this?

i updated today from german MZ601 xoom to 3.2 for Euro xoom (as described here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183416).
first of all, thanks to all in volved for the work you guys put into this. i am impressed with the ROM. i really should not have waited that long for updating the stock honeycomb
the only thing is that my 3G won't work. or rather, it will if i allow roaming in the mobile network settings (even though my sim card should not allow roaming)... any pointers to what i might have done wrong (yes, i am pretty sure i screwed something up here )
thanks in advance for the help and thanks again for the ROM!!!

I have a Google Apps account using 2-step verification, and as soon as I enter my generated password, this error pops up:
Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I followed all the instructions to install the Tiamat 2.0 ROM (i.e. full wipe) and tried fixing permissions, etc. After doing this 3 different times, I believe there is a bug in the ROM handling/syncing Google accounts which use 2-step verification. If I remove the account from Settings, the error stops. (I would post this in the development thread, but alas I don't have enough posts to do so.)

[MOD] Solution to Launcher Redraws on GB

Hey all, this mod is for those who are having launcher redraws on GB. This was an issue since GB was released. For those who don't know, a redraw is, simply put, when your launcher's icons all disappear but reload after a few seconds.
Here's what you do:
1) Get your launcher moved into /system/app. You should do this from a clean flash (edit the ROM.zip, put it in, and rezip the file). You could try to manually push this, but I don't know how that'll work. You could also try to convert it into a system app by using Titanium Backup PAID (thank you shawnshine for this one).
To get the apk for your launcher, you should uninstall it and reinstall it. Once you reinstall your launcher, go to /cache and look for downloadfile.apk. That's the app you just recently downloaded (in this case, it's your launcher). Save that downloadfile.apk, rename it to whatever you want, and move it into /system/app whenever you flash a new ROM.
2) Edit the build.prop for your ROM. Use Notepad++ and add this line at the bottom, without quotes: "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1" Save the changes to your build.prop. You can manually push this and this seems to work as well.
This thread is really made so you guys could get the edited build.prop and push them yourselves. I'm including only the most recent GB ROMs.
3) Flash your ROM and enjoy less redraws. If you choose to manually push it, wipe your dalvik cache and fix permissions.
I take NO credit for any of this. jager555 was the one who mentioned #1. AntonX is the one who mentioned #2. Of course, all the build.props that have been edited belong to the respective developers who tweaked it and such.
If the developers have a problem with me posting their build.props here, please let me know, and I'll remove it.
UPDATE: Here's a short explanation of why this thread died down. When 2.3.6 was just released, I tried using this mod again to fix the build.props for all ROMs. Unfortunately, it seemed to be ineffective, so I dropped this completely. However, icy56 recently informed me that this still works on 2.3.6 (at least the newest ROMs), so I decided to pick this up again!
Below are the three most commonly used ROMs on this forum atm (Valhalla Black Edition, ICBINB 2.3.7 v2, and AOSP Style X). For those of you who haven't made the move yet, I kept the older ROMs in Older ROMs.zip.
Let me know how this works for all of you! I know it definitely made a difference on LauncherPro and GO Launcher EX.
Sick!! Thanks works great it was def an annoying issue.. I just moved the apk in root explorer and reinstalled into system app
sent from my real Gs move in silence like lasagna
hey just wanted to say i can attest that these settings do lessen the withdraws.
For launcherpro users, settings that have completely stopped withdraws for me are setting memory usage to low, not checking "prevent FCs", and checking "keep in memory"
EDIT: Forget this post. It was another issue.
Wouldn't using the "convert to system app" function in Titanium Backup Pro for your preferred launcher do the same thing?
I pushed it and didn't lose settings.. like I said I moved adw from data app to system app and then immediately clicked install and it reinstalled successfully
The launcher will fc if you hit home without reinstalling in system app

The only reason why I don't want to set the memory usage to "low" is because it makes my previews lag with 7 screens. Also, I've been reading that we should keep the memory usage as "high" instead.

What's causing your redraws? I usually get a redraw after playing Cut the Rope for a level or two, but now it doesn't happen at all.
Yay!! It worked. I played Nova 2 for a while and my launcher didn't redraw still!

I put in the Beautiful SGS4G modded build.prop. Try manually pushing that into /system. Go into CWM, wipe your dalvik cache and fix permissions. Let your phone sit for 10-15 minutes afterwards to let the dalvik cache rebuild.
Keep in mind that wiping the dalvik cache and fixing permissions are optional, but it would be safer to do that.

ok so i had the INFUSE, where i would just edit the build prop and change the DPI of the screen....and it worked great. but it does not seem to have the same effect on the skyrocket...i notice alot of dead space on the screen when doing this that was NOT on the infuse. it made things smaller in proper proportion to the screen, on the skyrocket it seems to make the Screen windows smaller and odd looking.
any ideas?
nope doesn't seem like anyone figured this out outside of using a different launcher & dialer.
I switched to go launcher, even though touch wiz seemed to work pretty well. kept the dialer for now.

so if i pic another launcher it will eliminate the dead space at the bottom of the screen?
yes. the dead space is just due to touchwiz being setup just for the one resolution. other launchers are set up to do more as they aren't device specific.
The dialer will still have dead space, you can get go contacts/go dialer if you choose.
Does changing the density this way cause the same problem as using the density changer app on the market? If you change the density with the app it makes most apps on the market imcompatible and will not allow you to download them.

yes it still causes the apps not show up in the market....in which case i switch it back then download and switch back again once it is on my phone.
Can someone tell me the screen density on the stock AT&T ROM?? I changed mine and want to change back for apps, but I can't remember. I've tried like 5 levels and still have apps showing as not compatible.
TIA!

I believe it's 240.
Thanks...!
No prob. I usually have to clear my market cache after I switch back to stock density for the incompatible message to go away.

If the market and apps didnt break when using this, it would be amazing.
what is the logic behind the market not working?

thanks, are any of those permanent though, instead of having to switch back to 240 every time?

I think what your experiencing is market has updated. It is now known as playstore and has a new icon. I've never heard of market just deleting itself.

its this. i was freaking out when it happened haha
if you dont see the Play Store, then reset the phone and it should pop up. but the Android Market app and its icon are gone.
No i mean when sometimes my wifes sk4g the market app will suddenly remove it self from her phone.... She will attempt to open it and it will say application not installed but it was there before hand

Have you tried Fix permissions from CWM Recovery?
If so, and it's still not fixed...you need to backup your SDcard, format it, let it reinstall itself once on Android and bam.
IF STILL NOTHING, you may need to go a step further...ODIN to KJ2, clear cache partition and dalvik cache, fix permissions (just to be safe), check your mounts, then flash. Enable Wi-Fi on Default so the ROM can download the update from Android Market to Google Play after your first reboot. IF THERE'S STILL AN ISSUE AFTER THIS, sorry it has me stumped.
Ok let's get this straight.
This happened to everyone with the market first switched to Google Play, the icon on your homescreen will change to that because the system can no longer find the application Market.apk, but in your app drawer the play store will be there. Just move the play store to a shortcut on your homescreen. The reason that it comes back when u reflash is because you are just reflashing the old, unupdated market, then when you open it again it will delete the Market.apk and install the play store.

No that's not the issue. The problem is sometimes her phone will freeze and when restarted market is completely gone has nothing to do with transition to play store just the market totally removes it self

I have had apps dissappear from the phone, leaving only a generic green android icon in it's place. I am not sure why this happens, but it usually seems to be after an abnormal reboot. I was thinking it could have something to do with the the SK's seemingly sloppy implementation of putting apps on the sdcard, but the market app is probably stored on the phone, so I dunno.
anyway, were you able to get it back?
