[Q] app missing from market on GB that was there on froyo - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the app, hullo mail, and I got the free version a long time ago when I first used a Gingerbread Leak. I eventually went back to EC05 though and kept using it because I like the interface (its a voicemail replacement) and I bought the full version to remove adds. So now I went back to EF02 and the free version is still showing up in the market, but the full version is not. I emailed them and they asked if I was using a custom rom and I told them I was. Their response was:
"Unfortunately this copy protection feature is implemented by Android and we
cannot change it. However, the development team is looking for a new
implementation of copy protection but I am afraid I cannot give any time
schedule for this."
Does anyone know anything about this? I've not backed up the APK, but I was using it on a custom rom under froyo just fine and it showed up in the market then without issue. If I went back to froyo and backed up the apk should it be able to run on GB if I restore it there?

I read in the EG22 thread that the market is filtering out incompatible applications according to the developers specs. You may have run into that issue.
Try clearing the data on your market app and see if that will fix it.

Missing Apps from Market

I've an Evo which I had previously rooted and loaded fresh 0.3. I am waiting on Sprint to get me a replacement phone so I restored my NAND backup so that I would have something close to stock to return. Funny thing though, since I restored, I was looking to put a couple of paid apps back on the phone, namely SlingPlayer and WeatherBug Elite, however they don't appear in a search of the market anymore. Download AppBrain which does locate these apps, however when I try to load them, it fails.
So I'm confused, are these applications really unavailable or is there something with my phone which won't let me see them? How can I tell?

I dont think you are supposed to share NAND across phones. Maybe some certificate now fails to match your hardware, and is blocking these market apps.
No I restored on the same phone in preparation for returning my existing phone for a replacement so indeed I restored my NAND backup to the same phone.
Run RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe
It will wipe your phone, but take you back to 100% stock. That is the original rom. Then you can see if market works.
I'm experiencing the same thing after doing the SimpleRoot for the OTA. I use the mobile banking and TV.com apps a lot and I can no longer get them in the market.
My wifes phone is Stock and she is not having this issue. Iin the fewest words, HELP!?!

[NEWB QUESTION] Non-Rooted System Optimization?

I had DC 3.2.2.1 on my phone and was running into reboot issues occasionally, FC errors, etc. (Not Reeve or DC's problem, I was causing my own issues.) and, considering that my phone is a business phone (with a little pleasure), I used the most current Sprint/HTC RUU and reverted it to stock settings. While Rooted, using AutoKiller and ATK, after boot I had approximately 200-210MB of RAM free since the "Sprint Bloat" had been removed. Now under stock settings, after a reboot, using ATK only, I have approximately 120-130MB of RAM free. I was wondering if there were any sort of non-root-friendly system optimization tools to change the boot settings (such as AutoStarts for rooted devices)... Probably not, but hey, you never know until you ask, right?
Thanks in advance for any help I can get.
Also, I'm aware that the phone is fully functional at 120-130MB free, however, I'm a PC tech and I know that using MSCONFIG to disable most startup entries directly results in a faster boot and a snappier environment, which also happens on Android.
Also, for those curious, I also reverted to stock so I can be ready for the Froyo update the moment it's ready, as opposed to waiting a day or two for a root-friendly 2.2 update to made available...
Alright, a little status update. By uninstalling Google Earth, Adobe Photoshop Mobile, Savvy Shopper, and Tesla LED, my phone now boots up with about 210MB free. I guess Earth and Photoshop are just very memory-hungry programs... Too bad they start up immediately.

[Q] Uncommon Sense won't recoqnice Google account.

So in my ever continuing quest to find a ROM that works for me I think I may have finally found it, Uncommon Sense 1.1 I think it's an older ROM but it's exactly what I'm looking for, the stability of Sense but the launcher and lock screen look like AOSP Android. I flashed it last night and I loved it but I had a huge problem, so huge I went back and loaded a nandroid of my previous ROM, Senseless rEVOlution. When I loaded the ROM for the first time I loaded the ROM it wouldn't let me enter my Google account information. The option to do so was greyed out and when I tried to select it nothing happened, though it still let me enter the information for my Comcast.net email account. Then when I tried to open the market and the Gmail apps I immediately was sent back to the home screen, I didn't even get a forced close error. I went into settings>accounts and sync and found no option to add a Google account. I checked all my running applications but there was no opstion to update or uninstall the market (version 2.2.7). As a last resort I went to the web based market to download Astro file manager to my hone but it said that it was already installed and wouldn't let me install it again. I tried downloading another file manager (I forget what it's called) but it never downloaded to my phone. Finally I jut got fed up and restored my nandroid of Senseless rEVOlution. Not only did everything work the way it should but that other file manager had downloaded to my Senseless rEVOlution nandroid backup somehow. I really don't get it. I really want to use this ROM but this problem needs to be solved first. Doed anyone have know what the problem might be? Shoulf I unsync my Google account from Senseless rEVOlution and flash Uncommon Sense again?
Oh and I should mention that I culdn't get any of the apps and widgets that were installed, like the HTC colck widget, to recognixe my location. This too was fixed upon loading the Senseless rEVOlution nandroid.
Sounds like that the GAPPS weren't (aren't?) installed in Uncommon Sense 1.1? Try redownloading it from XDA and don't do the install if it is listed in ROM Manager. Flash the zip. Do a full wipe - factory user data reset/dalvik cache a few times, then flash the zip and see what happens.
Thanks RMarkwald. I flashed the ROM without the gapps package and everything now works like it should. This really is an old ROM, it even comes with the really old version of the market brfore it was redesigned (it has since updated to the most recent version). My only concern is that it is so old that my phone wants to install a system update, and with ll the recent talk about carriers cracking down on root users and Verizon tracking who is rooted and who isn't by tracking who;s phone takes updates and who;s doesn't I'm reluctand to take the update yet I can't get my phone to stop notifying me about it. Other then that great ROM.
There was a fix to get rid of that, I don't remember what it was but most devs have incorporated it into roms now. I'll look around but do a search for like remove OTA update notification or something to see what you find.

You can use Skyraider 3.5 with the uncommon pack, it adds the launcher, app drawer and status bar of uncommon. It doesn't have musicmod, but it has pretty much everything else.

Is anyone else having trouble logging in to the chase app?

Every since I updated to gingerbread, it will not let me log in. I saw on the atrix forum that they had a similar problem and it was fixed by Motorola putting a certificate updater app in the Android market. Does anyone have a solution for the EVO?

first off are you rooted? First nandroid current rom...then I would advise restoring an older nandroid when Chase app did work. Download MyBackupRoot from the market(its free) and backup your apk + data. Then nandroid back to current gingerbread rom and restore data with MYBackupRoot and it should work.
When I have problems like this in changing rom versions and come across issues like this I follow my procedure above and it works. I am currently on 2.3.4 with Chase app and no issues at all
I am rooted and I have one of the stock roms. I will give it a try. Thanks!
I restored the app and data from titanium backup. It did not work. does the app you mentioned do something different than tb?
Can someone help me so that I do not have to unroot. I need the chase app to work. Thanks!
I was having the same problem then I used the browser and went to the full site (not mobile) and it did the whole "we don't recognize this device" thing. I had send me text with my pass code, logged in and its been fine so far.

Need build.prop from recent stock

So... I have been on a custom ROM for a while now. The ROM I have been using is great... unfortunately... I have been having constant problems on the market. Currently, I can go to the market on the web and it still lists my device from when it had the latest stock version. My issue is that now it is showing a TON of apps that are incompatible which is complete BS. I was able to get some of the APKs and had some from a titanium backup I had done previously... and they all work perfectly fine.
I did a wipe of market data and removed my account on my phone. I then rebooted, added my account, and started up the market. This fixed about half of the apps... but I still have a ton of apps showing incompatible.
To try and track down this issue... can someone post a build.prop from the latest stock build? I want to try some modifications to my build.prop to try and fix the issue. Currently, I am on the King Kang ROM (AOKP+Paranoid)
EDIT: Was able to restore my device ID from a backup from when I was running stock. I am now able to install things... though it worries me that the problem could re-occur as with its normal configuration it would prevent installation of some applications.

Did you ever change the DPI on your phone? That will make installing things from the market impossible unless you have a modded market.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
however it was set on this ROM is where it was initially and had problems. I changed with Paranoid but other than that no. After changing with Paranoid I can still DL most apps. Though... the DPI is pretty jacked immediately after flashing... its all set at like 320 default which is too large for almost anything. I have set it down to 200. Even though I still have it at 200 after restoring a device ID I can now install stuff again for now though.
