[SOLUTIONS ✔ STEP-BY-STEP] «My Installed Apps» missing in Google Play Store [17 MAR]
Are you an app-freak? over hundreds of apps installed and 20 Google Play Store updates per week?
Whether your answer is yes or no, you will have to know this, or it will be too late when you really face the problem.
«One day, I encountered a kernel panic when I was downloading apps, after a reboot all apps in «my apps» are gone. wtf.»
«AMFG HELP I NEED TO UPDATE MY APPS I CANNOT LOSE THEM HELL IM FREAKED OUT I DUN WANNA USE AMAZON OR APPBRAIN! I WANT ANDROID MARKET»
«I lost my data/wifi connection when I was updating 30 apps at once, those apps which needs update, gone, but the others remain.»
«‘Process system not working.’ when an app is installing, market force close, all app links gone, omg rescue me.»
No problem, you are at the right place.
What we usually do when we encounter it
Yeah you may press on them for real results
No worries, here we go.
This is not a significant or top-prioritised system error.
We don’t ask our devs to help us, as this is not their job.
But this **** is really annoying,
and Google ignores us.
We love our apps,
and we really want their update notifications normally.
So we investigate into it and try it ourselves.
We start from the easiest method, to the longest ones.
If you see this icon beside the title of the method, that means the method requires ROOT.
If not, then root is not required and you are good to go with any phone!
Make Nandroid backups based on your own decision, determine and strive a balance between the risk of your steps and the patience you have!
is working on most Android 2.1 devices.
is working on some Android 2.2 devices.
is working on a few Android 2.3.0 to 2.3.3 devices.
will **** up your phone if you are newer than Android 2.3.3.
As the app developer said, use at your own risk while you are not using on an Eris.
And for me, I do not recommend using this app, on your super new Android versions.

Android Market Versions
User Temasek is one of my friend which is very advanced in Android and he got a lot of resources.
(Also in his signature,) His MediaFire Share Folder includes:
The newest Android Market apk [in ‘Android Market’ folder]
The newest newest GAPPS flashable zip (including newest market) [in ‘Unofficial GAPPS’ folder]
FAQ: Yes you may use the newest «For Android 2.3.X only» as long as you are using any version of Gingerbread.
The old Android Market apks [in ‘Android Market’ > ‘Old Android Markets’ folder)
I recommend 2.3.6 as it is the latest old market with the least amount of bugs.
How to open application management screen
Don’t laugh, some of the new Android users really don’t know about this.
Please make sure if your market version is the one with the ROM (not updated automatically or manually after ROM flash), it will only appear in the «ALL» tab.
App — Titanium Backup for Android
It refers to its Market Page and its Official Site.
Pro version gives the freezing option.
Freezing the Market Updater
Freeze the system app «Market Updater 1.0», if you are downgrading from Market 3.X.X to 2.3.X
or this app will auto download Market 3.X.X and upgrade it without your permission.
If you do not have Titanium Backup Pro, try uninstalling it with Root Uninstaller.
No worries, Market Updater will be back when you flash your ROM/GAPPS again.
Android Market Content Filtering
I am not sure whether this is affecting the issue, but for me, I always put all of them on to prevent Google from hiding any apps for me
Google Accounts in Android Market
I know this is quite a common «solution»,
But still, make sure you have chosen the correct Google Account for your Market!!

The Android Market version 2.3.X
The Android Market version 2.3.X
(2.3.6 is recommended)
1) Go to the application management screen of «Market».
2) Force stop it.
5) Open Market, open «My Apps» list and check whether all your apps are there.
If this doesn’t help, try performing a reboot between steps 4 and 5!
2. Random App Installation
When you encounter your «error» (kernel panic, connection lost, market force close, etc.)
you may have not install/uninstall any app on your phone because you focused on the market problem.
From others & my experiences, installing an app will cause Android Market to refresh the «My Apps» list.
1) Force stop Market.
3) Open Market, do NOT open «My Apps» list.
4) Install a random app. (it doesn’t matter which, but light ones are recommended so it saves time and data)
5) Open «My Apps» list, check whether all your apps are there.
3. Random App Re-installation
It is similar to Method 2, but in a slightly different way
As it causes the Market to refresh the list for 2 times — app uninstallation and app installation
it is still worth a try.
1) Force stop Market.
3) Open Market, do NOT open «My Apps» list.
4) Uninstall a random app. (Choose those which does not store important app data on your phone as uninstalling it will wipe all the data of that app)
I recommend: Google Voice Search / Google Goggles / Stopwatch apps / Benchmark apps / Calculator apps. you know what I mean
5) Force stop Market. (no need to clear cache)
6) Open Market, do NOT open «My Apps» list.
7) Install any app. (You can install the uninstalled one if you want it back)
8) Open «My Apps» list, check whether all your apps are there.

The Google Play Store version 3.X.X
The Google Play Store version 3.X.X
(latest version is recommended)
4. Market Doctor from Titanium Backup
I forgot whether this is a PRO only function or not,
but just try it IF:
— You have backed up ALL your apps (versions can be ignored) BEFORE the «error» (kernel panic, connection lost, etc) occured.
— You installed the latest version of Titanium Backup to perform Market Doctor.
It sometimes helps, but if it doesn’t, don’t worry, it has very less chance to cause harm.
According to the app developers’ announcement in the update on 7 March 2012 (version 4.8.2), Titanium Backup is working with the new Google Play store.
5. Downgrading Google Play Store
As I’ve tried some of the methods above, Google Play Store version 3.X.X is harder to be fixed!
If you can accept the older look of 2.3.X (its faster though ), you may choose to downgrade your Google Play and try the methods above.
If Google Play Store / GAPPS with your ROM is 2.3.X and was auto updated by Market Updater or manually by yourself with an apk:
1) Press «Uninstall Updates» beside «Force Stop» (in my screenshot, the «Cancel» button)
Sorry my ROM is with the newest Google Play Store so there isnt an option like this but you will have it.
2) Freeze/remove «Market Updater 1.0». (Refer to The Basics above)
(Optional) Check whether if it downgrades your Market to an excessively old version (i.e. 2.3.3). If so, you may choose to manually upgrade to 2.3.6. (Refer to The Basics above)
3) Follow the instructions in the above section (Market version 2.3.X).
If Google Play Store / GAPPS with your ROM is 3.X.X and you also do not have the «uninstall updates» button:
1) Download the older version (2.3.6) of Market from The Basics above
2) With Root Explorer (There are free alternatives, if you can’t find them on Market, try Software Development Section in XDA Android Forum)
3) Rename the Market apk to «Vending.apk»
4) Mount R/W in /system/app
5) Copy and Paste the downloaded «Vending.apk» into /system/app. Yes, replace the original one with the ROM.
6) Do not forget to freeze/remove «Market Updater 1.0»
7) Follow the instructions in the above section (Market version 2.3.X).
Finally I’m proud to announce.
6. The Ultimate Framework Wipe
Lol the name sounds scary but actually no danger at all!
This was the most lately discovered by me, and for me it is working on both versions!
This is gonna be a bit longer, read and follow carefully.
1) Go to the application management screen of «Google Play Store».
2) Clear cache of «Google Play Store».
3) Force stop «Google Play Store».
DO NOT CLEAR DATA OF «Google Play Store».
4) Go to the application management screen of «Google Services Framework».
5) Clear data of «Google Services Framework».
7) LONG PRESS POWER MENU AND REBOOT RIGHT NOW . ON THIS SCREEN.
8) Open Google Play Store, open «My Apps» list and check whether all your apps are there.

Thank you for your time supporting my work on this guide.
I hope this would be the first longest and the most helpful «MY APPS» solution on the net and I really want to share my experiences and findings to help other people who are frustrating like me when I encounter those problems

Any feedbacks are totally welcome,
and if you discover any other alternate solution, please don’t hesitate to PM me so I can add it here of course I won’t forget the credits!
Just download this App Market Fixer by Kstudio from Android Market.
Use it to scan for offending Apps, Note that it requires active data connection. What it basically does is compare your Apps database with the online Android Market Database and then single out the offending Apps. Presently, the only solution it offers is to uninstall the Apps from your Phone which for me is unacceptable because most of them are Samsung Core System Apps like Videos, Galllery etc, you don’t wanna lose your System Apps.
When the scan finish just take note of the offending Apps, it would help to write them down. Do not use their Fix tool because it will delete the Apps from your Phone or if you use REMOVE MARKET LINKS ONLY those Apps will give you FORCE CLOSE afterwards. The best option is go to Titanium Backup —> Batch —> Detach User & System Apps from Market —> Deselect all —> NOW SELECT ONLY THE OFFENDING APPS —> Run the Batch Operation —> Reboot.
After this go back to Android Market and all your Apps will be there. If It didn’t work the first time, redo the whole process, maybe you missed one App.
This has 99.9% success and I believe it will work for you.
ADDITION
For those of us that Schedule Backups with TB, you have to do some tweaks to your Preferences if not; after such backups, the whole problem will come back again. This is all you have to do:
Go to Preferences —> Deselect MARKET LINK (When backing up an app, save its Market Link. Requires SQlite).
Be aware that this might happen again if you upgrade ROM or restore whole system with TB Backup, but with such Tool at hand, all it takes is less 3 minutes to fix.
Hope this is helpful

Unfortunately not working. Saw my paid apps once (none of the free ones) and then disappeared again.
