Hey guys all of a sudden the app marker is not showing a lot of apps. I search for apps I know that are there like Rom manager but the search comes up empty.
Any help? I think this happened around the time the new market was released and my phone updated to it.

Ya i hear you, i can't for the life of me figure out what it is, but ever since my brother and i bought the vibrant at the same time he had google earth in the market an i don't... Anyways, my workaround has been if i can't find an app i need i ask for help here. But a more self sustaning method is to search android apps on a torrent website like pirate bay . org or bt junkie. If you have anything specific in mind i could probably help ya
get appbrain, then search for apps there, and it'll redirect you to the market, which it SHOULD be in there.
I managed to fix it. I installed the new market app and force stopped it in the manage applications settings and cleared the cached data amd rebooted.

I am creating this thread for a list of which apps you can remove from the r800x's system. This thread is meant SPECIFICALLY for r800x which is why I am not posting a reply in the existing thread located here!
THESE APPS DO NOT HAVE TO BE REMOVED, I AM JUST LISTING WHICH ONES CAN BE REMOVED WITHOUT MESSING UP THE PHONE!!! (meaning FC's, etc.)
I recommend that you move these apps to your SD card instead of deleted them or renaming their extensions!

CustomizedApplicationInstaller.apk
CustomizedSettings.apk
googleFeedback.apk
GooglePartnerSetup.apk
IddAgen.apk
preinstalledservice.apk
semc-fumo.apk
SemcCrashMonitor.apk
After removing these apps, I HIGHLY recommend you install "Sd Maid" from the market to remove all data related to these apps!!!
After all the apps and data are removed, delete all the .dex files taht are located in /data/dalvik-cache, and then reboot your phone!
The reason for deleting these files is that they are files that are re-created by the system on boot for any apps you have installed, whether they are in the system or installed from the market. That means when you reboot after deleting these files, your phone will reboot slower then usual because it is created the dalvik cache from your existing apps. It will only do this once, so your phone will not reboot slow every time.
This is my first thread on XDA, so please click thanks if this helped you!
If you know any other apps that may be removed, or know what the unused apps do, please tell me!
Hey Sonic...big thanks for this...isn't it great that we're rooted now?

Dont Delete "preinstalledservice.apk"
This app is needed for Crash Bandicoot to still run and download game data. I tried a lot of different variables to find that without the preinstalledservice.apk None of the Playstation certified games would make it past "updating" screen.
I deleted vznavigator and now my phone won't boot up at all...

That shouldn't happen. It was something else, I am certain!
Are you sure you just didn't remove launcher2 without having an alternative launcher first?
Sent from my R800x using Tapatalk
I have done it twice, both times it crashed the phone to the point of having to Flashtool back to life. and i am certain it is VZ Navigator because it was the only application i removed.

I actually removed VZ Navigation before I remembered to check this thread after Zergrushing. I obviously haven't had this problem, which is strange, but I never launched the app at all. Or I'm lucky! It's been a week...

In my market, it says i have all these apps not installed. But they are all installed. When i click on them it doesnt say install, it says open. The apps run fine n are in my drawer. Is there a way to fix this? Its just really annoying when my "Pro" keys arent being used. Like, titanium backup says im using the free version when i have the pro version installed, same for my launcher pro key.

EDIT: can this be moved to the Q&A section, accidentally put in general. Thank you.
Same thing with me... google maps, youtube, and a few others are in the Not installed section, but when you select them it says installed, and you only have the option to open. I'm assuming they are still being checked for updates when I open Market... at least I hope they are. More annoying than anything else. Any thoughts?
Open up the "Manage Applications" and find Market. Clear the cache and reopen. Should show up now. Had to do that on mine.

First screenie is it saying i have the pro key installed. 2nd screenie is of TiBackup saying i dont. Taken in the same minute.

I have the same problem, and agree it is annoying.
It started happening when I did a titanium backup after unlocking. So I guess there must have been some problem syncronizing with market after.
I have solved the problem by uninstalling the applications that were listed as needing updates even though they were already updated. And when reinstalled, the notification went away. It's not a very elegant way of fixing the problem, I know.
If anyone else has a better solution, please advise.
I learned this method from another forum (can't remember where); it always works for me:
Exit all applications on the phone
Home > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All
Market: Clear Cache, Clear Data (OK)
Google Services Framework: Clear Cache, Clear Data (OK)
Reboot your phone
Open Market app and Accept the TOS
Market > Settings > Content filtering > Set level > Show all apps (OK)
Market > My Apps: no more missing apps, or false positives for updates
I've tested this many times with the new Market app on my AT&T phone in both stock GB and piCRUST. It always fixes the display of installed apps within the Market app itself. But the list of apps showing on the Market web site under My Account (https://market.android.com/account) may not be immediately updated with the results. Sometimes the Market web site will be updated later rather than sooner, or only partially rather than completely. But this local fix will usually affect the web listing to at least some degree.
(Space reserved for future rant on market web site lameness...)
Did it, now i get a server error everytime i open the market. Just reinstall apk of new market?
EDIT: just used task killer to kill it all then retried n it worked. All my apps are saying installed. Thanks so much.

I see that error occasionally after using this fix, but I also sometimes see it after re-flashing the phone, and after other seemingly unrelated actions. It usually goes away for me if I just turn on wireless first before opening the Market app (no need to reinstall it). I think it's related to some error in the app or settings initialization, and not specific to this clean-up routine or anything else.
And yes, I've found that using a task killer also seems to help. Maybe indicative of another app blocking the Market from opening correctly at first run? I don't know, but once it goes away it doesn't seem to come back.
Thanks, this worked flawlessly.
Could I suggest you add "Solved" to the title of this thread so others that might have the same issue could use this?

Got it. Ive had to re do this fix after my phone shuts off, so its not permanent on my device. It might be for you, either way, it fixes it for awhile.

One other thing that will confuse the Market about what's kosher: using a non-standard LCD density.
In my case I had hard-coded build.prop to set ro.sf.lcd_density=300 and ever since I did that the Market website kept telling me that most of the apps I'd previously installed were not compatible with my Atrix 4G(!) My workaround was to revert to the default ro.sf.lcd_density=240 and then use the "LCDDensity" app to temporarily set it to 300. Whenever I need to go to the Market for something I just reboot the phone first and it reverts back to the default setting in build.prop.
If you've got it the other way around (e.g. build.prop is using a non-default setting, and you're using LCDDensity to override this back to the default), then that might explain why you're seeing this Market mischief return on reboot.
Even if you're not using LCDDensity (or you're using something else like "LCD Density Changer" which can make these changes permanent), you might want to check your current LCD density. Ditto for other property settings that might not be using their defaults.
Here's a list of all the things that the Market looks for to determine if a particular phone is compatible with an app:

Ok so this thread is for all the newbies out there who want to side load apps to their Kindle Fire HD.
The first thing you need to do is install a file manager app. I personally use File Expert, but you can use whatever works for you. Next you need to get the app file. You can find it by searching on Google: (app name) apk. Once you have those, navigate to the Downloads folder with the file manager, and tap the .apk file. Click Install, and you're set! You can find the app in apps>device, it will not be in Cloud.
Note: I have tested this with many apps and almost all of them worked perfectly. It does NOT work with apps that you have to use google account. They will not work.

Ok you actually can use some google apps like Youtube and Chrome if you install the Google Framework, and reboot. www.mediafire.com/?zaumfwhraxcifqf

tried this with my new KFHD7_32, and YouTube works if you search for videos; doesn't seem to bring up your account though. Did not try Chrome, but did get Google Earth working; Google Sky Map did not work.
The only app I haven't been able to sideload is Yelp. :/
Use bar Shortcut app it works best
