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.

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:

just for information for everyone using Google Music Beta. I came across this problem myself and thought I would share what I found with others. Post by VoidedSaint
If you are a google beta music tester, and you have flashed multiple roms on your phone and when you try to stream music from google, and you get the you have authorized blah blah blah deauthorize an account to use this service.
Google music beta has a certain number of accounts that are associated with Google Music Beta
it allows only 8
once you have reached 8 you have to go to the website to deactivate a several accounts.
now for instance this is what i found was my issue
open google music on my phone, no file could be played because it said i had too many accounts linked to my google music, i instantly thought wtf! is google giving away information that allows others to connect to my music?
so i go on to google music beta, go under settings to see what is connected to it
nick-pc
Motorola DROIDX

Motorola DROIDX

all within 1 to 2 days apart from 1 another
i dont remember because this happened last night that i took care of it, but im going by sheer memory.
i deactivated each Motorola DROIDX account, and reopened google music back on my phone, sure enough i was able to listen to music again.
so in other words
if you flash a new rom, or wipe data/factory reset deactivate your google music on the dx through the web, or else it will continue to build up like mine has. However it may have just been an anomaly for me. But if you have flashed multiple roms and are on Google Music Beta, check to see what is connected to you.
i just figured some of you would want to know this nice little bit of information. Because apparently google music doesnt read esn or s/ns for phones they just recognize the phone and whenever google music is reinstalled, well you get the idea.
I haven't run across this yet but thanks for the awesome heads up! I love having fixes BEFORE I see the issues!

I've had it happen twice
See I flash so much that I often don't make it through a day without 3 or 4 flashes. I don't even use my music beta that often cause I've been groove shark-ing and player pro-ing mostly. My girlfriend thinks I'm an idiot for flashing my phone constantly.
She also says that she's going to pretend to be a smartphone so that I'll pay attention to her hahahaha

Hello all,
If you tried accessing your Google Drive, but it says that it is not ready yet, there is a little workaround I just discovered.
Follow these 2 steps:
(1) Go to the Google Play Store on your Android Device and download the app.
It will automatically log you in, and again give you the same screen stating that your google Drive is not ready yet.
(2) Switch screens internally in the app (meaning, switch to another account if you have more than one, or go into the settings of the app, or whatever) and then press the back button to go back to the main Drive screen. Exiting and reentering the app may work as well, but I don't know because I haven't tried that.
You will notice that once you go back to the app, the message is gone and you have full access to your Google Drive on your Android Device.
**It only gives you access on your phone though, website Google Drive will still not work until its ready**
Enjoy!
PS - Please don't comment things like "why not just wait" or some derivative of that. If you would like to wait, that's great, keep that to yourself. This is for those that don't want to wait. Thanks for understanding.
Edit -
Just found out btw, that you can also just upload directly to Google Docs (any file format), because Google Docs and Drive are going to be Merged and already reflects your 5GB storage amount.
Edit 2 -
Here is the desktop application for all those asking
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8UC9mheN6KZUlFHN0R2QU91TmM
Thanks! Didnt work for me, just signed me into google docs and didnt let me go back to the google drive screen, but good find anyway!
Interesting thing is that on my tablet it worked without any work-arounds, but on my desktop it still says its not ready.

This appears to be gone from the market / play store / whatever it is today. Any chance of posting the apk?

heya,
Hmm, I managed to update to Google Drive through Play Store, however, I'm having issues with step 2 - how do you switch accounts, or go to settings?
This is on a Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0.4 - there's no settings key when you're at that "Google Drive is not ready" screen...
Cheers,
Victor
ya same here i just tried. @vistagamer when did you apply for your drive to be on the waiting list?
This doesn't work anymore, switching between screens did nothing for me. Seems google patched the bug fast.
yeah. doesn't work for me either. Bloody Google are really bad at releasing stuff imo. ****, in Australia we are still waiting for official google music (both buying and using it!!)
Drive downloaded from the Play store for me today but wouldn't work. Came home from work and installed on my PC. Uploading files now and the app on my Kindle shows the new files...
I can only sign in to google docs on the drive app, and I cant switch back to the drive screen, so I dont think this works anymore...

Not working on my GSII, but still many thanks to OP.
Thanks!
took two tries on my Razr.. works great now. Thanks!!
Thanks
I appreciate the download for the desktop client. I installed it on all of my computers.
It doesn't work.
Either way, I a invite from google right after registering a request, so it may be the best way for now.
Hi all,
I had a few apps on the Play Store some months ago, which got removed after Google decided to ban me from the Play Store for who knows what reason. Apparently the cause was the "sexy" nature of the apps, which still doesn't explain why my app got kicked out and so many apps that are much worse than mine still live there.
Well, anyway, I've decided to put them all back online on a website for users to download, so if you're interested in them feel free to download them and give me some feedback! All the apps have a brief descriptions and screenshots:
drfeelgoodsw . appspot . com (sorry, being a newbie no link allowed...)
They're all apps to quickly access galleries of well known sexy and gossip websites (Front Magazine, The Sun Page 3, Egotastic and so on), and they all allow you to mark those galleries as favourites, save them on your SD card, etc. Nothing fancy but I hope you'll enjoy them nevertheless! If you have any suggestion on how to improve them, or just know some other website you'd like a similar app to be made for, I'd love to hear it from you
They must have been deleted again because nothing comes up in a search for them

Sorry, I should have been clearer... by "back online" I actually meant they were available again on the web page I created for the purpose, not on the Play Store. I tried publishing them on Android PIT after they were removed from the Play Store, but that only lasted a few weeks, as apparently Android PIT only hosts apps that are also on the Play Store (quite silly of them, considering they're supposed to be an alternative market, but anyway...). I'm looking for other markets to publish the apps on, but until then the apps are available for download on the page I linked in my previous post. Those apps automatically look for updates using a JSON string on the same page, so updates should be easy to keep track of even without a Market in place.
No feedback? Either the apps are perfect the way they are, or they really suck!!

Also, I suspect that people are getting a bit wary of sideloading apks when they could be malware. That's unfortunately a level of trust you lost when you were banned from the play store.

Oh, I hadn't thought about that...
Well, if that can help, I can post a screenshot of the mail from Google describing their exact reason why I got banned, which had nothing to do with malicious behaviour in my app. That said, anyone can just monitor the traffic my app generates, and see that, apart from an update check at the beginning (a GET to retrieve a JSON file), the only connections are towards the website each app is wrapping. I would be quite dumb to post malicious apps on an expert den of Androiders like XDA Developers anyway ehehe
Anyway, if that can help I ca post the complete source code of one of the apps to let people check that everything's fine. The core of the apps is mostly the same (activities, sqlite database, image cache, httpclient+jsoup), apart from differences related to their structure (e.g., Page3 has much more activities and choices than GQ), so that should help understand I'm not hijacking anything. Of course, you could object there is no guarantee the code I'm posting is exactly the one used to generate the APKs, as we'd be back to the trust issue at the beginning...
Well, if there's any way I convince those in doubt that I'm in good faith just let me know. About the Play Store, unfortunately there's no way I can get back there. In the mail I received, I was told I was banned and that I could not open a new account to publish the apps again, so that's out of the question. Android PIT only accepts apps that already are on the store, so no go either. I tried other markets like Androlib and SlideMe, but both failed to send me the confirmation mails I needed to confirm the account, so I'm wondering if they're even a viable solution for developers right now. I've already discarded the Amazon App Store option, as there's an annual fee the likes of which only Apple could conceive. Anyone knows more alternatives to publish apps?
Hey guys, I've been a longtime member of xda-developers and I've been working on this app for the past few months with a team. I'd love to get your feedback on it.

Can you try going here http://www.bentoapp.com/ and clicking join the beta? We've changed the sign up a bit. You should be able to immediately access the beta google group from there. Once you've joined the google group, you should see a link to the beta. Let me know if this doesn't work for you.
There is no link shows up for me also. Just a blank Group Page.
Blank group for me as well. Also tried to use desktop mode. Brings me to the welcome message in the group with a playstore link. Playstore link does not work.
Download link not working
Download link after joining beta from your website is not working.
edit: Works after manually copying and pasting link!
can't download from play store, item not found
edit: downloaded, some playstore or phone bug
Looks promising.
Signed up but it's just an empty Google groups page. Um, what do I do?

We're really sorry about the blank google groups page. This is the link to download the app. https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.bento.launcher . There have been multiple issues with the way play store beta membership groups work and we have tried to fix all of the issues.
If clicking on the above link takes you to a page that says "App doesn't exist" or "Page not found", you could try a few things:
Please wait a few minutes and open the link again.
Ensure that the default account you used to sign into your browser is the same as used to sign up for the Bento Beta Google group.
Ensure that your play store account is using the same email you used to sign up for the Bento Beta Google group
If all else fails, please email [email protected]
Joined beta group from site without at hitch, got from Play, installed and ran. Playing with this, looks quite interesting. Later, google+ did not have me in the "community" so requested that as well.
First and second reactions:
1. Intriguing concept. Looks like it belongs in Ubuntu.
2. Weather card should be location-based (maybe it is). Default units should be locale based. How to set up?
3. To facilitate testing, might be better as a launcher overlay rather than a full launcher. But it is very easy to switch homes from settings (was not always the case). Actually, it will run as an app except that the app-drawer or screen from which it is run remains visible behind the app folders.
4. App runs as app from app-drawer or folder. Runs (and labeled as) Bento Settings from Bento's app drawer. So found how to get my Celcius and km. Cannot place Bento Settings on the folders.
5. A refresh (or "more") button on cards pane might be in order. Can be mostly blank for long periods of time.
6. Got a "tomorrow" card. Never got "today."
7. Quickly learned how to arrange the folders, add, remove apps. More-or-less just like current stock launchers.
8. Like it or not, we are still part of the Google universe (though Cyanogen/Microsoft and Rational would like to change that). So normal calendar, maps, google+ will be around and should fit in. Google Now should also fit into this scheme.
9. Problem on my ArmV6 dinosaur: Cannot use Google's off-line speech recognition which will crash. I get text into Google Now using a voice search wrapper widget which links with older VoiceSearch on-line recognition (that app also did phone searches like Bento!). Voice input to keyboards, most apps crashes. There is a settings->language&input->voice-recognition choice which should be polled and respected. When Bento has more traction, might persuade the wrapper's dev to do a version that feeds Bento's searchbox intent.
10. The thing has no clock. On other launchers I use chronus so took the clock off status bar. Bento runs immersive mode anyway. (Another reason this is more and app than a launcher.)
11. Getting typed text into search bar is problematic sometimes. KB comes up but does not enter.
More to come ...
