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.

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?

Black market skin

I've used a black and also a black/blue themed market. I installed it recently. Using Root man. I dropped it into ex-sd then from there placed it in System/app and let it overwrite the Vending.apk. It worked and looked great. I shut down the phone and when restarted, it was back to standard green. How do I stop this, so it stays black?

You will need an updated themed market. everytime the market is updated you will lose any custom theme you have unless you freeze the updater but that could cause issues in its self. Your best bet is to see if the one that made theme has an updated version.
Was there an update today? Ive been working on a theme and kept flashing it today, but my market kept turning back to the usual green.
It happens to mine periodically, I just keep the zip file downloaded now in case it happens again

Puffinugz try removing the market updates. Manage apps and uninstall updates. Then install your themed market. Having any updates installed will cause your market to revert, sometimes the updates are stoted under data/apps. So id remove any market related content from there as well.

Each update fixes things and sometimes brings new features. You can stop it from updating by freezing the market updater or yes everytime the market updates you will lose any market theme you have. That goes for other programs as well like gmail. Normally the themed apks get updated soon after they come out so should not be long.
2.3.3 is the latest.

[Q] no download link in market

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.

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.

[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.

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.

240 fixed DPI Market 3.4.6

Hey guys, I modified the new 3.4.6 market to be fixed at 240 DPI, for people who use unstandard DPIs and want to use the market properly.
Seems to work for me, but I haven't tested much, so install at your own risk, and always make proper backups.
Edit: def seems to work for me. A bunch of apps asked to update with this market, I remember that not happening with the standard market
Here's how I did it for those who are curious
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20624277&postcount=13
Push it into system/app, giving it correct permissions, and clear market data before running market.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10741863/Vending.apk
Enjoy.
Hi!
I tested your vending.apk. But dosn't work. I use 192 dpi.
My phone sg2, with Bezke Aokp rom.
Put the file system/app, wipe app data. Don't work. Make cache and dalvik wipe, but nothing happen.
Did you change permissions? Use root explorer and hold press on the file, then select permissions. You will see a 3x3 grid of squares, make sure the 3 to the left are checked, and the top square in the middle is checked. All other squares in the grid must be empty. Also I'm not sure if this is nessecary but I've had issues with it appearing if you don't change owner as well. To do so, hold press on the market(root explorer again), and go to the bottom and select change owner. Switch both options to 0-root. Then reboot.
I referred to the following sites.

I followed all these steps and I still don't see it in the app drawer Am I missing something here? You don't have to install it after putting in /system/app do you? I thought it would just show up after reboot....?
I believe that is a separate apk. Don't know if dpi affects compatibility on that. Look around for Google play music apk.
here you are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533862
So, I can see movies from the apk that I uploaded just fine. You cannot rent movies from the standard app if you are rooted though, so you will have to get the app for root users from the link that i posted.
@RubenRybnik
Then you did not follow them properly.
You must take the apk, copy to /system/app, change permissions, change owner and reboot. then when you boot in, clear data for the market. but it will be there when you reboot.
Also, I tried to do this for the new 3.4.7 version, but I got incompatibility messages on the google play apps from the market. I'll try again tomorrow, but I'm only following a guide myself, so if it doesn't work, I've got no idea.
AFAIK the only new thing in 3.4.7 is compatibility for motorola devices. if there's anything else i would like to know

The issue is I don't see market, google play or any other icon for the app after putting in /system/app, changing permissions, changing owner and rebooting ... I tried clearing cache/delvik cache, rebooting, but how do you clear market data when you don't see the app after reboot? I did everything the instructions stated...
When you clear market cache is not relevant, just that it is done before you start using the market, cause the old cache will screw with things. So clearing it before copying the file will work as well. Also some people have mentioned that deleting the original vending apk before copying a new one works better. Try that?

I got then icon to show( app to install ) via 'adb install vendor.apk', however the app opens( most times ) I can search, but when I go to download it FCs... I can't seem to get around FCs in Google Play no matter what I try ... desperate at this point, anything else I should try? Or just start my ROM from scratch you think?

Could not get it to work on a rom that came with new googleplay.
Put Vending.apk in system/app set permissions and owner. Renamed googleplay, then deleted the update from data/app and cleared the dalvik cache. Result is no market anywhere.
Getting issues with it now. Worked fine initially. I have no idea what's wrong.
When I clicked my apps in the market, it said no connection even though the internet was fine. I cleared data and that problem went away
Now however, the market is refusing to download anything. It just says Downloading... and nothing happens.
EDIT: Working fine now. Dunno what the problem is :s
Bad news... new version 3.4.7. If yo haven't removed marketupdate.apk this mod will no longer work...

First try didn't work, after two reboots second try finally works now on 182dpi , only app not available is es file explorer. Thx for your work!
Its being screwy for me too. Sometimes I'll have movies, sometimes I won't. It shows some apps as incompatible but not others. And I can't even install an apk for the unsupported apps, I've had to push them to data/app. Looks like there needs to be something else done to this market.

[Q] Unable to install downloaded apk, can't press install button

Hi guys
need some advice here.
I've been installing apk file from dropbox for testing purpose for few weeks. Occasionally I couldn't press the install button (on the install screen), but it resolved itself after few attempts.
However, it doesn't seem to work any more. I just can't press the install button, but OK for the Cancel button. I've tried restarting with/without pulling out the battery. It still doesn't work.
Have googled the issue, only able to find this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1150096
But I don't have screen filter app installed, so that doesn't explain my issue.
Anyone have the same issue and know how to fix it?
Much appreciated.
Cheers
Tony
PS. Im installing from dropbox.
When you say you are installing from drop box I take it you are using the Drop Box app. If so I would just try to install by opening your favored file explorer app, mine is Astro File explorer. Anyway find it with the file explorer and then try to install it that way. Or you can uninstall the Drop Box app and then reinstall it. Maybe something has gone wrong with the app. Just a quick suggestion.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, Im using dropbox app. I've tried to copy the apk to my sd card and used appinstaller and astro to install it, still doesn't work.
I've also disable a screen brightness app Lux which I suspected have a similar bug to screen filter app, but still doesn't work ><

Might as well get it out of the way...you DO have allow installations from unknown sources checked right?
(Sometimes all you have to do is check to see if there are batteries in it, lol)

this is so weird!!!! It's used to work, but suddenly not!!!
Try installing seconds after a clean boot. I believe my problem was caused by the auto brightness app Lux.

OMG! It works, thanks.
I was suspecting Lux causing the problem, but I only disabled the app, didn't uninstall it. Once I've uninstall Lux, it just works!!
I wanted to let the developer know the problem, but I can't replicate it. Any idea what the causes?

Iff lux puts a full screen overlay up that is what causes the issue. I think it is security thing.
Some of my apps had the same issue.

Thanks for everyone replies. Problem resolved
Yeah it's a bug that you get with apps like Lux and Screen Filter. Somewhere within Lux there is a setting that lets you exclude certain apps and I think within the most recent build of the app it will automatically disable itself when you install an application
For what's it worth:
I've had the same issue when using JuiceDefender.
I've granted Juice Defender acces to controll the brightness of the screen, because the auto brightness control in my HTC One X is too bright.
This caused the same problem!
After disabling Juice Defender's auto brightness, the installation of app's works as usual.
Grtz,
Guys, me too got this problem since last week. Tried hard, unable to figure it out which app is causing the problem. Is there any ways to check the app?
Tried in many threads, but couldn't get it resolved. Fortunately you guys in the thread have some sort of reasons for root cause.
Please help me guys, this is screwing me up.
