This thread will help you with getting missing apps from the Market. ICS handles these things differently and changing the build.prop won't necessarily give you everything.

Greetings,
I've been trying out a variety of different ROMs, and due to issues with some of my purchased apps not appearing in the Market, I've had to switch back to the default HTC Froyo ROM (rooted of course) as it seems alot of developers aren't letting their apps show up through unsigned ROMs.
Anyways, it would seem that HTC has some setting dealing with the LED notifications that stop after a certain amount of time.... Because of this I end up assuming I don't have any missed calls, texts etc and it drives me crazy. I'm aware that there are some programs on the market that will address this issue, however, having to resort to having a program run all the time due to a dumb setting doesn't seem optimal.
I've come across various mods out that that let you override things like the icons that appear up top, battery percent indicators... Is there something equivalent that I can flash over the existing ROM to fix the LED service settings?
Thanks in advance,

a little off topic but can you name specific apps you are having problems with? i have not yet found any apps that don't show up on most roms. Also as an alternative to being stock you could always use app brain with the fast install and it should let you download them through it.
as far as the LED notification thing. I personally havent seen one but one could exist.
You might get more helpful answers in the Q&A forum as this one is strictly used for development topics and often results in flames and more posts that are not useful,
The mod I was using which preventing me from seeing all my purchased applications was Ava-Froyo v3.
Here were 4 applications I wasn't able to access:
Astro File Manager Pro
Android Banking
Raging Thunder 2
ZENONIA
im having troubles with getting protected apps to show up in the market. you know the ones that say your device is not compatible. im on zombie cream 3.1 currently, which is handy cause it has automatic build.prop alterations. when i switch to ics all the protected apps show up. i guess im just wondering what to specifically change in the build.prop to show these "protected apps". ive tried changing model id lines and board lines and fingerprint lines, ive even tried changing the whole build.prop from ics, any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you
Just curious of the benifits of changing dpi settings.
I've seen various posts in various rom threads and was curious....
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Pros: Bigger screen - can have more apps on homescreen, make your phone look like a tablet with TabletUI mod, etc.
Cons: Not all apps are compatible and some people (like me) just don't like it
Basically, the only con that I have run into is that the Play Store checks your dpi in order to determine what apps are or aren't able to run on your device. Tablets, for the most part, don't have as many apps available as phones from the Play Store. Another issue, however, is that common apps such as Gmail, Maps, Facebook, etc. seem to be incompatible as well even though they are available to tablets.
Like stated above, the app store will say a lot of programs are not compatible because you changed your dpi. There are fixes for this, however.
I've got a used Verizon Nexus, which I am using on Page Plus, after running through a lengthy process to program it to work with Page Plus. I didn't really understand everything I was doing, but I was able to follow the instructions, and it worked great. But it's incredibly slow.
It's running 4.2.2 and Paranoid Android 3.6. I've heard that 4.3 seems to eliminate a lot of the incredible slowness I'm experiencing, and I'd like to upgrade it. But I also spent about a week tweaking and configuring this exactly the way I want, with my launcher and screens and hubs, etc. I don't want to have to do all that again.
Anyone know what my options are? Is it possible to upgrade it to 4.3 without losing all of that? Please write in laymen's terms. I can follow complex instructions, but I don't always know what the terminology means.
Thanks in advance.
In my personal experience, and I have tried many ROMS, the ones with PIE, themes, halo, and other tweaks only make the phone slow. In the end I just went with rooted stock and haven't missed the old.
As per your issue, yes you can do it but it may lead to some issues.
The way you want to do it is through Titanium Backup. Selectively backup entire apps or just app data, which for the launcher itself would contain the arrangement of screens and settings. If you have Nova or Apex, you can export settings to your "sdcard". A bunch of system settings and sync with Google, you may already know this so you don't have to backup those. Once you flash a 4.3 ROM, you will want to re-install Titanium Backup and restore your apps or app data. The drawback to this, hence why I don't typically recommend this, is that you may get some sporadic app force closes. Ideally you'd want to install clean apps from the Play Store.
You don't always experience issues with TB, but just keep in mind the possibility is there.
Best of luck.

Thanks for your reply. I don't like pie, halo, or themes at all. I prefer to set up my own methods of navigating around my phone. (I put shortcuts on my dock that go to the different screens in my launcher (each devoted to a different category of apps), and then include shortcuts on those screens that go to the apps appropriate to that screen's app category, if that makes any sense. It seems, to me, a very efficient way of finding everything I need very quickly). I am using PA 3.6, because it's what was provided with the process I followed, to get this to work on Page Plus.
Do you know if upgrading to 4.3 with a different ROM will affect the use of my phone on Page Plus? And if not, any suggestions on a good one that includes the most features? I would imagine rooted stock would be fine with me also, but again, I'd like to avoid re-configuring everything. Of course, I will if I have to, to eliminate the lag and get the best performance.

I don't know what you did to make it work for Page Plus and I cannot offer any advice on that note I'm sorry. I've never owned a CDMA device. With GSM, you stick in a new SIM and its ready to go. As far as ROM's go, again I'm afraid I'm the wrong guy. Maybe you can apply some of the same steps to making it work with a 4.3 ROM? The underlying OS is the exact same.
I am transferring from an LG Stylo 5 to a Motorola One 5G and I am very much a fan of the LG Stylo 5's pre-built apps, especially their Gallery and Music apps. The thing is, my Motorola One phone either relies on Google equivalents (Calendar, Gallery (dubbed Photos)) or, heaven forbid, completely lacks an innate app for it (Music). I came to rely on these apps, and these apps and/or non-Google equivalents simply do not exist on the Motorola One.
I did a standard "grab the APK and install it on the new phone" at the request of someone on Reddit, and was told it may not work--it didn't, there is either some incompatibility or some sort of protection to only have the app run on an LG. They then told me to "try XDA to see if LG apps have been ported to other androids.", but didn't specify where on the XDA site that'd even be. Indeed, I don't even know if I searched correctly, as my best search result involves ROMs and makes zero mention of Motorola phones, so I figured a new thread on the phone I'm porting to would make the most sense.
So uh... What do I do? Are those ROMs my best bet? Do I just need to tweak the .APKs in settings? Are there equivalent apps in the Motorola One 5G that are just not showing up in the "All Apps" menu for some reason?
If anyone who's adept at modifying .APK files can somehow mod the apps I want into working on a Motorola One 5G, I can provide my .APKs--they seem to be more up-to-date than whatever most .APK sites offer.
While it may entirely be the case they won't work without rewriting (or worse), are you sure that you got the entirety of the applications?
Split APKs are not your friend... but not hard to catch:
Code:
adb shell pm path com.linkedin.android
package:/data/app/com.linkedin.android-09eLyCiLAFgPJHMwI-AyqA==/base.apk
package:/data/app/com.linkedin.android-09eLyCiLAFgPJHMwI-AyqA==/split_config.arm64_v8a.apk
package:/data/app/com.linkedin.android-09eLyCiLAFgPJHMwI-AyqA==/split_config.en.apk
package:/data/app/com.linkedin.android-09eLyCiLAFgPJHMwI-AyqA==/split_config.xxhdpi.apk
Grab all four. The "arm64_v8a" is processor specific.. older processors may be armeabi-v7a or similar.
If that doesn't work, try adb logcat while/after launching, see if you can figure out WHAT it is crashing on, and maybe someone could help from there
Most LG apps won't work on other phones because they require LG framework to work. These apps don't even work on aosp custom roms on LG phones.
