For the past few iterations of android, I have had the same issue come and go n the play store. Whenever I go to the "All" section of apps that I have previously downloaded it does not show any beyond google drive, or at least in my case. So basically, anything I downloaded and installed prior to that app does not show when trying to refresh the apps.
I have already tried clearing data/cache/downgrading/upgrading. Anyone have a clue if this is an issue based on my google account or is it a broad issue?
the only times ive seen this is when roms were missing some sync stuff and when my apps were were accidentally unlinked from the play store via titanium backup(can be relinked).
are you on a custom rom? using any other kinds of mods? xposed?

It has now happened to me on stock, CM 11, and AOKP.

I've always found the Play Store to be incredibly inconsistent when it comes to restoring apps.
When I recently Odin'd back to stock and signed into my Google account, the Play Store instantly began downloading all of the apps that I had installed on the last ROM. Apps that had been uninstalled were not re-downloaded; it only restored the apps that were on the phone most recently.
But when I just installed Synergy and signed into Google, it didn't bother restoring anything. I know that I can go to All Apps > All, but this is just a huge list of every app that I've ever downloaded on an Android device. It's far more tedious.
Anyone know the reason for this inconsistency?
(And no, I'm not a fan of apps like Titanium Backup.)
Some roms give you a check box to check if you want to restore apps and some dont. It should ask if you want to backup your apps and if you want to restore apps during the install.

Google's play store backup only backs up your last ROM that you signed into with your Google Account.
So, if you didn't restore all of your apps when you flashed another ROM, Google Play restored "0" apps for that ROM and made a backup with "0" apps. That's why you aren't getting any restored.
I recommend Titanium Backup.
Hi there,
First I'd just like to say that I've tried every solution and guide I could find in the last hour or so. I'm running a Telstra HTC One XL with the latest ViperXL ROM, and the Bulletproof kernel.
My issue is this: I recently completely wiped the ROM and all data/settings etc. Before doing so, I backed up just a few apps that I wanted with Titanium Backup. After I was setup again, I restored the apps, but I can't get them to be detected in the Play Store. I've tried Market Fixer, Titanium's Market Doctor, clearing data+cache for the store and google services framework and rebooting, installing the apparent newest leaked version of the Play Store from here on the forums. Frankly I think I've only made the issue worse - the only app Titanium detects as being installed now is the Play Store. The My Apps section in the play store only shows apps that I've installed since reinstalling the rom.
I should mention that I made a new google account recently - some or all of the apps I'm not seeing may have been installed/last updated under the old account. I haven't touched that old account since the new installation. It occurs to me that I could probably just uninstall and reinstall most of my apps, but that would defeat the purpose of backing up.. I'd lose the associated data/settings/files.
Appreciate any help.
Tl;dr: Are there any other ways than Titanium's Market Doctor to link apps restored from a backup, with the market, when they haven't necessarily been associated with the current Google account previously?
*Btw, the old account no longer exists.
Hi all,
I've installed custom ROMs many times, and always used Titanium Backup (Pro) to re-install all my apps and settings automatically.
I was suprised today after installing PAC-ROM 22.1.0 (Jelly Bean 4.2.2) to have the Play Store automatically re-install all my apps. I did not have to use Titanium this time...
Is that a new feature from 4.2.2 ? Or from the Play Store itself ?
Thanks for your thoughts
regards
No google store is restoring your last installed apps free not quite sure how many apps are being installed. Figure around last 60 apps. I wish they wouldn't i test lots of apps. I would say i get about 20 junk apps installed every time

It's an option that you enable or disable when setting up a Google account on a device.

What is quoted below is directly from Google play store! So how did you come to your conclusion?
Permanently removing uninstalled apps
At this time, there is no way to permanently delete or remove apps from the Google Play website (My Orders/My Android Apps) or from the Google Play Store app (My Apps) that you’ve previously downloaded but have since uninstalled.
Uninstalling apps using the Google Play website
To uninstall apps from play.google.com, simply visit the My Android Apps section. Click on your desired device, then click the trash can icon (to the left of the INSTALLED button) next to the app you'd like to uninstall. Click UNINSTALL to confirm.

Some apk's of the playstore in gapps packages have auto restore where, as someone stated earlier, youre most recently installed apps are reinstalled. In some cases all of them. Its usually just something the dev who created the gapps package puts together. Ive never heard of it being an option in google settings.

First of all, the OP is not asking how to uninstall apps via Play Store. My conclusion is from experience. Flashing many ROMs and having to setup my google account with every new ROM. After entering your Google username and password you are prompted by a checkbox that asks to keep this device backed up on google. Enabling it causes the behaviour the OP is reporting.

Understood what you said hoping you knew of option to stop apps from reinstalling after google account was already setup!
I guess i should have asked in a question. Did not mean to get you on defensive. My Second android phone was hoping that google by now would have seen these pitfalls in reinstallion of apps and customers need to experiment.
I wish google would get its act together realize 90% of apps i dont want are free in the first place. Its annoying to see free apps being reinstalled. I could understand paid apps being reinstalled but free apps come on Google Play Store!
But thanks for the reply!

Unfortunately I don't know how to stop the reinstallation, sorry. I don't normally use that feature anyways. Google seems to be getting too big for their britches too. As for me being on the defensive, it's all good .

I've probably misunderstood the issue here but if you want to stop the restoration of apps on each new ROM flash then just go to settings>backup & restore and uncheck the boxes for keeping the phone backed up and restoring the phone each time. If you mean that you want it only to install the paid apps and not free apps then I have no clue, sorry.
EDIT: whoops, quoted the wrong person.

However, as i said, it's the first time my apps get re-installed by themselves. Anyways, does this mean that Titanium Backup became obsolete ?
Btw, since play store v3.9 or so, one can remove the apps from the account (except he paid ones). One can even select as many apps as required and remove them all at once. Go to my applications>all apps.

I tell you one thing: it's never worked well. If I try to move over onto WiFi so that my battery won't be violated and it won't be downloading for half a day it always stops reloading them and it won't work again. This would be a great feature if it worked well.
Please help. Every 15 minutes my Google Play services needs to be reset I have to go into applications and clear the all the memory associated with the app then I have to go into one of the Google Apps and redo my account because the account gets deleted when it resets and then it's okay for 15 minutes. I went ahead and download it just the apps from the Huawei app and it does it with that. I went ahead and downloaded apps from the Google Play Store and it does it with that also. I went ahead and did a fresh installation of b109 and thought that would fix it and then reinstall all the Google Apps that I had and it still did the same thing so I am lost with the solution to the problem that I have hopefully someone can solve this or someone had the same problem that I have and have a solution. I have attached the image of what it looks like.

What were you running before this happened. B106? B109? This usually happens when you try and flash the Play Services yourself as Huawei already includes them. If you didn't do anything different to cause this, go into Apps and uninstall the google play services update and see if it works after that.

I have tried that a couple of times. the only thing I can do is restore my twrp backup and that is stable and then google starts downloading those updates again and boom it brings that error up. I don't know which one because they come down in a diffent order everytime. If I just have gmail loaded it is fine but that is not going to work. I might have to try to load up a modded playstore that doesn't allow any updates at all and just be satified. What Google apps are you running (Full list, so I'll know whick one ones are okay to put on my phone). That would be a good thread. And do you have any problems like that?

I noticed that if you don't use the official Google Apps from Huawei's app store it causes problems.
I'm using these. They are from the official Huawei App store.

I went ahead and uninstalled all google apps, every one. Copied the ones included with the rom back to there location and set permissions. Then I went ahead and went to the huawei app store and downloaded the rest they had. And what was missing I got from the playstore and The apps updated from the playstore. So far so good.Emails are coming in instantly again. I made a twrp image of this setup because I think this one is perfect just incase I might want to experiment with some new google apps later. Thanks for the help.

You'll be fine on any ROM with the Play Store and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter I sent you. Those are the only things you need to install when you flash a new ROM or update. All of the other Google Apps are already included in Huawei's stock ROMS. Google just released a new version of the play store and mine auto updated to the new one. Everything is still working though like it should. When Huawei releases the new version in their App Store I'll grab it and add it to my roms.
What happens is
I install a popular app from play store, let's say Facebook
Installs fine, but as soon as I try to run it it force closes instantly.
I'm on stock 7.1.2, rooted, only modification is AdAway.
Happens with a lot of apps, but a lot of apps also just start normally.
Any ideas where to start? What could the issue be?
I have a lot of random FC also. A ton of app updates too. Figured it was just a new OS thing...

Did you recently flash 7.1.2? and if you did, did you dirty flash it over another rom or completely wipe your device and clean flash it?

Did you find this information somewhere? What did you do to fix things? Turn off Android System Web View?
Figured out myself, for some reason it doesn't show in Google Play, and as such doesn't update, but if I search for it manually in Google Play then I can see it and update it, altrough it still doesn't show under installed apps in G Play.
