From other forums it's apparent that the Market issues are not NC/custom ROM/root specific. Lots of folks are having issues, including stock users, rooted users and custom rom folks.
But there are also folks that have no problems at all. So for the sake of gathering proper information perhaps this questionnaire may help folks find some pattern?
If you are having problems with the new Market, please take the time to fill this form out. I hope this will eventually help someone out with their market problems.
/disclaimer: I have not used the new Market at all, but I presume that it may eventually auto-update so I want to prepare myself ahead of time. At worst case I may learn something new from the responses and that alone is worthwhile.
Your problem is...(check/mention any all that apply)
- The MyApps list in the new Market app does not show everything.
- Apps that do show an update can't be updated.
- Apps that do not show can be searched, but only launched or uninstalled. If uninstalled, cannot be reinstalled from Market.

After installing Android Market, many applcations aren't showing up on my KF, from "Yahoo Fantasy" to "Google Earth.
Is there a way around this. I know on my phone you use to have to edit the build prop or something to get the Market to show all the apps.
protected apps don't show up - use sideloading
have tried editing the fingerprint in build.prop - it brings you more troubles ...
(amazon services, incompatible apps, ...)
if someone knows a compatible fingerprint, please post it !
Yeah, sideloading is really the best option. Find a website (like apktop or similar) that has apps available for download and then just download them and install.
Another option, if you have an Android phone, is to download the app, then send it to yourself via email or Dropbox.
Haven't messed around with build.prop myself, it's too scary to me. So far I've only come across maybe two apps that I haven't been able to sideload successfully.
hijack this thread with a related question...
sideloaded apps do not show up in market. is there any way to have them show up there? or have to manually update using apks?
thanks.

goto settings -> applications -> market
clear cache -> clear data -> force close -> reboot KF
after reentering the market you should have your apps (with a bit of luck)
if they are not protected apps. sideloaded protected apps you'll never see in the market.
Hey guys, I just want to ask these couple of questions:
1. I want to download an apk from an unknown source (not from google play). Given if it has a backdoor or something in it, will it be removed after I uninstalled it?
2. Is there a way to know if the application is backdoored or not before installing to my device?
3. Is there some applications that automatically blocks an app if it access for example my contacts, gallery or emails?
4. Are there apps that on the permission screens, all are not listed? Let's say on the permission popout only access to gallery is shown but the app can access my messages. Is it possible?
Thanks for the response guys.
I have a Galaxy s4 i9505. Android 4.3 unrooted.
Its Very Easy....
1) Use Greenify (We All know About it)
Second Method Is Below.
>Go To
A)Settings
B)Apps
C)Click Any Apps And Select Any Pre Installed App
(Ex.. Google Play Games or Any other app which you Use Rarely)
Now click Disable To Disable It...
Tadaaa its Done.. Now Disable what u want And Save More Battry And Ram.
You Can Also Enable It. :beer:
dont want to be an ass
but.......
being root you can delete those system apps like google music, movies, books, etc, all that crap bloatware
i believe if you restart the phone they will be active again, so it is better to delete them, also titanium backup can freeze those apps
Using App Quarantine myself to disable unwanted apps.
If you are rooted you can even freeze apps that usually can not be frozen.
After a restart the apps remain frozen.

No, they will stay disabled even after OTA. Only factory reset brings them back.
Very good way for those without root.

so even if critical apps are disabled on stock , locked , unrooted xt1032, OTA will still be successful?
wont fail due to missing critical system apps?

You can not disable critical system apps. Just try and you will see.
You can disable apps same way from Android too, it is feature.

Then you kill play and bunch of other features, not a good idea.

was just using GSF as a quick example
but back to my original question is it better to enable ALL apps before taking OTA to avoid possible failure?
or will disabled apps still be "seen" during OTA updating?
i have disabled most Motorola apps that can be disabled are they considered critical when updating thru Motorola OTA?

You don't delete anything. You just tell the system not to start or use those apps. And as a worst case scenario, if you screw up something so bad that you can't even use the phone (but by default you cannot disable really critical apps without root and 3rd party software), a factory reset will solve it.

Terrible and dumb advise.
Remove system apps and every ota on any android device from any manufacturor will crash and fail. Are you going to help clean flash stock Android back to functional for Ota's with people who followed this advise? At least advise to put system apps back before applying OTA. (One can remove system apps and install as more battery and recources friendly user-app. But before OTA uninstall those apps and copy back apk's of those system apps).
But like said disable apps (also non-root) or freeze (only root) them solution. With Greenify Pro and Xposed Framework (root) one can Greenify (do not all but only for system non important) system apps. Without root Greenify can (when Greenify enabled in accesibilty options) force close all in Greenify by user defined unwanted still in background running user apps all at once with a shortcut. Not fake like every task killer in Play Store is.
Becareful with system applications!
I agree with the previous post...don't remove system applications unless you know it's not going to be linked to anything of use to you, and even then I would do a backup just in-case...having a broken installation of android simply due to having deleted some system app in an attempt to save a few MB of RAM would be...unfortunate.

lol really? you better use an iphone
i remove system apps of all my cell phone, and guess what, they work perfect, never had issues
and if i did someday i don't care, why? because you are root, you can recover roms, flash, upgrade, etc
and yes, i give advice to people who bricked their phones and give guides and methods of doing it, because bricking phones and recovering them it part of learning
Long story short: Coming close to insanity from all notifications (but not wanting to miss e-mail and sms/whatsapp, I rooted my G900FXXU1ANG2 in order to use NotifyClean.
I, hence, also installed the Xposed framework. Subsequently, installed NoBloat and backed up and deleted a number of System apps.
Much to my demise, however, one of my favorite apps, S Health now malfunctions popping an "Unfortunately, S HealthService has stopped".
I have restored just about everything I have had backed up and deleted except for fonts, weather stuff and print services.
Still can't get the app back to it's original state. The best I have managed to achieve is to have the app run but unable to save my (profile) data (which renders the app rather useless).
I have also tried setting the app back to its original state (uninstall updates + force stop) and updating it again from Samsung.
Alas, no dice.
Can anyone help?

It's due to an incompatibility with Xposed framework. Search xda forum and you will find the work around solution (don't remember where I read it). But there is a solution!
