Problem with Android Market

I have CM7 running on my SGS, there has never been an issue like this before for my SGS but everytime I go to "My Apps" it shows none of my downloaded apps, only two options to "Browse Apps" and "Browse Games", I have Market version 3.3.11

Go to Settings, APPS, ALL. Find the Market, Click on Clear Data and Clear Cache. Reopen Market you should see your apps.
Also if you have multiple Google Accounts on the phone, that the right one is selected in the market.

I should have mentioned this before, I have tried the aforementioned method posted above already to completely reflash CM7, everything short of robbing a bank but this problem still persists. I even uninstalled updates and installed market update 3.4.4 and that did not work either

did you tried MarketFix? I know that it is used to solve the problem with 'not enough memory' but you never know.
Good luck.

it is also happening to me and i have tried everything mentioned above
also tried to reflash whole rom problem appeared after a while.
I think problem is related to titanium backup.

@gorsani
It's not related to Titanium Backup, it says "there has been a server error....." my guess is something is going wrong with Google's market Servers? This is a problem that annoys me because I can't see any updates or even Apps that I have just downloaded
@sap7e
That didn't work but thanks for your input

I encounter this problem b4 and my solution is restore market data from my titanium backup. All the apps come back after a few minutes.

That doesn't work for me either, I have apps that weren't installed from the market, I detached all apps and deleted backups, made new backups and attached all apps installed from market in the same way but it didn't work

cant reinstall Google Search

Hi, I've got a problem I cant fix.
I wanted to downgrade Google Search so I uninstalled updates and it went back to stock. I then installed the version I wanted. v3.1
Now, this is my problem. I DONT want it to show in Google Play as an update so I tried to make a updated APK like I have with many other apps where I like older versions.
Now I used Lucky Patcher and that didn't like making the modded APK but it did back a backup. So I clicked RESTORE BACKUP. and guess what? It deleted the app instead of restoring it.
Now when I try to install it from either any APK or even directly from Google Play it keeps saying the device is full and fails to install.
I have over 1GB free. I've deleted about 10 apps and still keeps saying device is full. I've reinstalled those 10 apps and they fit and install without problems and I still have over 1GB free.
HOW do i get Google Search reinstalled? I dont want to reflash it as I will loose ROOT and that was a big enough ***** to install the first time.
I have a stock recovery menu. Rooted Galaxy S4 i9505 4.3 official firmware.
I did delete delvik cache and the cache in recovery menu.
I cant find any other ways to restore it? I tried titanium backup with the backup I have of it but that never ends when I click restore. It doesn't finish, doesn't do anything just sits there saying its restoring but never stops still I kill it even after 30 mins it was still restoring.
Anyone??
I did try Titanium Backup and made a update.zip and that fails both from SDCARD and ADB as its not signed and its stock recovery.
Do I have to install a custom recovery? Can I use the one I used with 4.2.2 or do I have to get a 4.3 version? That was i9505-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2-4.tar

Anyone?
I'm stumped. I dont have a clue whats going on and why it wont install and why its saying its full when its got 1GB free.

Im be honest with you
Happened to me once and unfortunately solved by flashing stock again

Thanks for the reply.
Was hoping not to do that.
BUT, everything still works without it anyway and as it stole the use of my Bluetooth button it wont be missed but I do like the Google Now alerts.
What happened with me was the latest few versions stole the link to the bluetooth button. Before when you pressed the button you had the option of S-Voice or Google Search and now the newer versions dont have that option and always use Google Search and you have no way to revert back to S-Voice. I had Google Search disabled for a while but I want to use Google Now so I need the app but not the new version so an old version works fine. I think the last is 3.1? I didn't try 3.2 but I know 3.4 has that forced Google Search now.

I got it installed and fixed a few other apps at the same time.
I went to root /data/data and found the google search was a 0kb file so I deleted it and it installed fine after that. I also had a few other apps that were playing up so I deleted those folders and they now install and work fine.
So in the end no need to reflash just remove the corrupt files and its all fixed.
I did find out Google Search 3.3 is the last of the good versions, 3.4 is when it steals your bluetooth's connection and uses it for its own without letting you choose default.
As S-Voice is a Samsung feature those not with a Samsung phone wont care but those like me that use S-Voice will be annoyed that the latest Google Search removes the choice. I recommend to disable so it goes back to default version then get v3.3 and install that and use an app to remove it from updating in Google Play then all will be good.

it's solved right?
but anyway maybe you could try to flash gapps . Don't now if it will works but i good to try anyway ;D

When uninstalling on stock, you only delete apk file. You have also to delete corresponding odex odex file in system/
Then, you have to remove also corresponding folder in system/data/data
Then, you can try to reinstall the app.

I fixed it. There was a corrupt file in /data/data and as soon as I deleted it, it finally installed fine after that.
Now trying to stop Google Play from upgrading and also removing it from the update list is another problem.

I do that and it doesn't work with Titanium Backup.
I want to remove it completely so it doesnt even see it in the Google play store.
In Titanium Backup you can remove it from Google Play but that option doesn't work as I've had it removed twice and its updated both times.
So far its working. I've turned it into a user app and removed it from the store and its not updated yet but I will give it till tomorrow and if it auto updated like the last 2 times I will just uninstall it again and not use it. Its more trouble than its worth anyway.

I want it installed, I want to use Google Now but I don't want to update to the bad version and I don't want Google Play to keep telling me there is an update so I want it removed from Google Play.
As I said Titanium Backup does have a "Detach from Market" option which does remove it but after a few hours it updates anyway so that option doesn't work.
When you make a custom APK it's not seen in the Market so that works but Google Search doesn't work when you customise the APK.

In GPlay's settings, there are options "do not update automaticly" and, the first one "do not notify about updates"

I've unticked that box so Google Search won't auto update but it's still in the update list and it still gives notifications that it needs to be updated.
It needs to be removed from Google Play, that's the only way to stop it from updating or asking to update and it's the only app I can't customise that I've tried. I've modded many apps and they work and they are removed from Google Play but this one I can't.
I also want other apps to auto update so I dont want to turn that option off.

YES YOU CAN.
Just install Market Fixer and that removed it. But it does sometimes show up after a reboot. I rebooted twice and it showed up the first time but not the 2nd time.
So it looks like I've fixed the problem.
Titanium Backup's 'Detach from Market' doesn't work but Market Fixer does the same thing and that does work.
The problem I think is its a system app, its used by my Google account, its used by half the system so its not easy to hide from the App Store. As other apps aren't used the same way they are easily hidden but Google Search isn't.

Help please!

So yesterday I was browsing the Google Play Store when I noticed Google keyboard wasn't installed even though I have it so I attempt to install it again and it failed. I thought it was just a bug so I left it and the next day when I restarted my phone Google keyboard just disappeared. I can't use it anymore I can only third-party keyboard from playstore. Help please I need to get Google keyboard back because I'm so far not liking third-party keyboard. I don't know what I did wrong but tried to fix it by wiping system data and reflash the ROM and G apps but that didn't fix it. So please help me fix this problem thank you in advance.

It says "this app conflict with the existing app by the same name" Google keyboard doesn't show up on titanium backup though.

In your apps settings, check for disabled apps and see if it's there to reenable

How do I do that I'm running cm 14.1 android 7.1 and I don't see that option. BTW if I select show system apps, it's not in there either. BTW I just tested, disable apps will show up on titanium back-up as frozen and a option to defrost but google keyboard isn't even in titanium back-up.

Removing google apps

Hello im having problem with gapps on any rom(costum or stock) so i need ROM that is GAPPS-free or is there any way i can remove gapps, i wanna install microG GmsCore.

Nevermind i uninstalled gapps with titanium backup

Hey, are you experiencing any issues after removing Google apps? Are you on stock? I'm on stock and whenever I remove anything system it breaks other apps...

You should be able to remove all apart from Google play services, framework.

For some reason it doesn't work for me. For example, if I remove Chrome, Facebook messenger breaks, relay for reddit won't start. This is really strange?
I'm using ES file Explorer to remove apps. Titanium says it has deleted but apps are still there after restart.
Any ideas? @callumbr1
Thanks

Hmmm strange. You should just be able to remove chrome as normal and just remove apk.
I would suggest remove the apps you don't want. Then boot to recovery and wipe cache. Then reboot. This should fix and apps breaking/crashing.

Im rooted and using costum rom i did uninstall all google apps even google framework because i had errors with google apps and i did reinstall gapps but i still get ssl network errors...

Right, I finally figured out what the issue was - it was the webviewer implementation, so when removed system chrome, had to defrost android webview and select it to handle webviews. Problem was gone since!

Titanium Backup-restoring Google Keep failed

I wanted to restore Google Keep(just the app) because I don't like its material design. But whatever I did, it failed. Does Titanium Backup still works restoring system apps or did I do something wrong?

If you just want the app, then go to apkmirror.com and you'll find all versions of almost any apps.

When downgrading, you should uninstall the app first as data files are rarely backwards compatible, in most cases it ends up with app crashing or misbehaving. Then you can restore it via Titanium backup or just from apkmirror as already advised.

I can't uninstall Google Keep because I have it as a system app. I just can disable it.

Disable it - this will uninstall all updates, enable again and install whichever version you want.

Just to clarify:
1.disable google keep
2.download google keep apk(a version I want to have)
3.open the downloaded apk and it will update google keep
Do I understand it well?

1. uninstall updates (restore factory app) - disable app and then enable it again
2. yes, download version from apk mirror or use one from Titanium backup
3. install the apk manually and disable automatic updates in Google play store so you won't be in the same situation in a few days

OK, everything is clear now. Thanks. :good:
