not sure why, but can't get it to work, i've tried step 9 and everything...

Worked for me.
Thanks

Skeptical at first but I did see all the apps show up he mentioned. None of those would show up before either. Very cool.

My market worked right out of the box with Vegan 5.1.1. Those apps you listed above were downloaded to my gTab the day after my ROM install, no hack required. Hmmm....

I am also running VEGAn beta 5.1.1. At first a lot of apps didn't show up in my Market but then after I booted into recovery with ClockworkMod then erased all data, then erased cache, then erased delvik cache, then reflashed VEGAn beta 5.1 and rebooted, then booted into recovery again and flashed the VEGAn 5.1.1 update and rebooted.
After all that all of the apps that didn't show before showed up for me including the elusive Samurai 2: Vengeance. Now all is well an my tab is running better than ever.

Naw... Didn't work for me. Running Adam 1.1.0.
All the apps listed in OP are there and were there in the beginning, can't find CoPilot thou, even with the changes....
Good try, thanks.

Did not work for me and I am using:
[ROM]Tnt G-Harmony-Gingerbread Elements(Updated-1/22)
I wish it would though, thanks for trying.

I was going to try this out but I found all of the apps you posted. I just ran the vegan update supplemental. I don't know if that made a difference though. I don't remember firefox showing up when I made the switch to vegan a few weeks ago. That is the bad thing about getting old, can't remember.
I still can't find dolphin HD on the market. I had to download it from freeware lovers. Themes, walpapers, all sorts of dolphin add ins show up but not the browser.

Did not work for me using vegan as well

This does work on vegan 5.1.1 found dolphin hd, copilot, and everything else i searched for. good info

Google Earth?
I did your fix and I can now see Angry Birds in the Market, which I couldn't see before. I'm running Vegan 5.1.1.
Can anybody here see Google Earth in the Market? It's not showing up for me.

Based on my research the market is doing some decision making server side now. Curious to see how that pans out for these fixes.

Hmm Tank Hero shows up but Super Manager still does not. However, other apps by its publisher do show up.

The only thing not showing up for me on the market from the attached pics is Mulit-picture-live, and I didnt apply this fix.
I used the method posted from the video on another thread.

Running Vegan5.1.1 and having a lot of stuff not show up in Market. IMDB, Flixster Movies, NFS Shift, SIMI clock, Launcher Pro and many other odds and ins. I do see things like Gun Bros., Sims 3, Samurai Vengence, Fruit Ninja and others.
App Brain, as many other sites, push me into the market for downloads and I end up with Not Found messages. I try to go around this and use Market from the web - where I can find absolutely everything. However, when you try to install from web the market forces you to select you device - Vega Tab - is the option that displays in the drop down and it is typically followed by message - device is not compatible with app.
So...any thinking on how to change our identifier from Vegan Tab to Xoom or something that would have full access to the Market? My biggest frustration with ViewSonics tab isn't the hardware or the ROMS, its Google themselves.

This is so bizarre. First of all this didn't work for me on Vegan 5.1.1.
What's really weird is that I wiped and reinstalled Vegan 5.1 and the update to 5.1.1 this morning, did the usual clear data and cache on market and framework and then I did see Angry Birds, and Gun Bros, but I didn't install them.
It's literally only about 6 hours later, and I can't see those now, not having made any changes.

Not to burst any bubbles.... but I turned on my g-tab today, went to the Market, and it asked for me to read the T&Cs and click Accept. I said, 'oh no'. But upon accepting, I am seeing all the stuff you said, and a lot of stuff I didn't before (like Stupid Zombies fer instance). With most things with the Market, I blame/give credit to...google.
I should add... I have tried to add a bunch of apps that I can now see... Firefox, Stupid Zombies, Gmail and Jumpgate Live Wallpaper... and they are all stuck on Starting download. Also had previously added Tegra Zone from the web market, and it hasn't shown up.
And another update... so with things stuck, I did a typical market fix. Well that made all but the Gmail downloads disappear. But Gmail wasn't downloading still. Eventually it did, a re-start or two later. Tegra Zone, which is listed as being downloaded on my account, never showed. And when I try to install now from the web, it says it is incompatible. *sigh*

Worked for me. Needed step nine tho. Still not the full market tho. I still don't see apps I get on my sprint hero.

Z Tab, latest version from these forums. The market works the same as before trying.

How to add things to the Play Launcher?

Just wondered how I can add some of my games not showing into my Play Launcher? I bought NFS: Shift and works but doesn't show in the launcher which is annoying as the demo did!?
I'd also like to add my emu's and a few other games to it if I can?

I think that we need to modify the PlayLauncher for custom apps :>
As atm you cant add anything on your own

Hey FK,
I was surfing for a similar answer as to why my Launcher isn't showing the latest games & stumbled across your answer in the SE forums from an admin:
-------------
Maybe you could try to clear data in the Xperia PLAY app.
Menu > Settings > Applications > Xperia PLAY > Clear data.
Check if that might help.
If not, try to download the update for the Xperia PLAY app. Search Market for "Xperia PLAY games launcher" and install the update.
-------------
As for your other answer, I don't know how to add additional items into that menu. I manually installed the NFL demo before & I had to copy a ".so" file into one of the system folders for it to show up on the launcher but sounds like hard work to figure out whats in the .so file. Search for the NFL demo if u are feeling brave.

if this works, sounds like a great app could be made to add user chosen programs to that launcher

.so files are lib files, sounds like we have to add some libs for each game to /system/lib/

Have you tested this? working?

That doesn't appear to be the case. Android seems to tell the app whenever a new package is installed or removed, at which point it decides whether it should be added to the list of games. I'm looking deeper into how this all works.
Games for sale are essentially pulled down from an RSS feed. If your provider has its own store, it can have its own feed as well (which is what Rogers does).
There's a database called content.db that the app uses to populate the user's personal library of games. Game names, package names, install time, last run time, whether there's a manual with it, whether there's an icon or badge, etc.. Now to find out how it decides to put data into that database.
It has its own internal whitelist and blacklist. Whitelist consists of all packages starting with "com.gameloft." and "com.ea." and the blacklist contains "com.ea.tetris" since it doesn't have Xperia Play support.
Found in its testing database for the Xperia Play app: "Super Street Fighter 2 Alpha Turbo Ultra Remix Deluxe Extra Very Long Title Edition" lol
There's a set of different data sources that the app uses to populate its list of games. It looks like PSN will be one of them. There's a class for PSN data sources, however it basically has no real code in it and always returns void. It also has two empty methods, get price and get currency. Don't be surprised if linking to your PSN account is one of the big announcements Sony's been hinting we'll get at E3 (but not without an updated launcher first).

Not all gameloft games appear in the launcher, only xperia play enabled games, maybe if you decompile an experia play enabled .apk, you might find somthing.

I uninstalled Fifa & the other bundled game to reinstall again under setinstalllocation2 but neither have ever shown up in the Play menu since.

Someone managed to solve this problem.
The games also have installed do not appear in the menu of play
Sorry for the poor english
thank you

I don't know, most games optimized for the Xperia Play show up in the Pocket app, Even Minecraft.

Sorry to bump this but is this possible?
To add a game to the Xperia Play Games Launcher?

Good job necro-ing this thread...
The basic answer is that the APK for whatever game has to have a string in it that marks it as Xperia Play optimized. Look for the thread with the Xperia Play touchpad tester. His later version shows up in the Play launcher when it is installed. I think he managed to get all of this from the SDK. So basically, it is up to the developer to include the string (and most just don't know about it).
Can we force add things in? Not really, unless you want to decompile the apk's and add stuff in and then recompile them. Not worth it really. Easier to get a custom secondary launcher instead.

Like wich???

Google App Update

Running the DP3 and trying to install the updated app. Always says app not installed. Anyone else having this issue
http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...slightly-revamped-google-now-ui-apk-download/

Looks like no dice on that, thus far. A lot of users in Dev Preview are having the same problem.
My guess is that Google has only pushed out apps targeting up to API 22, and Marshmallow will be using API 23. As far as I can tell, you can't update an app to a version with a lower target API than the currently installed version's target API. The packed in version is probably targeting API 23, where the updated apps pushed to the Play Store are probably targeting API 22.
You can actually get the new Google App to run on Preview 3.
You'll need to be rooted for this:
Download the Google App from APKMirror (5.2.33.19)
From the Play store (or wherever) install another launcher (like Aviate, Nova, or Apex). This is important, as we'll be removing the current Google App, which contains the Google Now Launcher
Using a file manager with root access, delete the /system/priv-app/Velvet and /data/app/com.google.quicksearchbox-1 folders
Power cycle your phone
Install the downloaded Google app (5.2.33.19) from the file manager
The upside:
New Google Now layout, and a colorful search bar
The downside:
No more vertical scrolling in the app drawer

Thanks for the info, but I don't think I will be doing all of that just for the new layout. hahaha

Yeah, it's kind of a pain. I'm not going to say it isn't worth it, but it's a pain, and kinda give or take.
