Did your Android Market just update itself and break the My Apps function? I just noticed my Market app on my phone just made me accept the agreement again. As I remember it does this when the market app is updated. After clicking agree, the market app loaded, I click "My Apps" and just get a blank screen. Tried killing the app, then trying again, no luck. Rebooted phone, no luck. Anyone else??
for my the same thing. same problem!
Try wiping cache?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
works for me, i however lost quite some apps (they are no longer linked to the market).
fixing the market links via titanium 4.3.1 made them available as updates, but after the 'update' they were gone again.
downgrading to the old 2.x market didn't help either, oh boy
what can i do now?
I have the same problem, and I haven´t find any solution so far.
If you see, the lost apps aren´t in present in the market web version.
they came back eventually. tried to restore the market links via titanium a dozen times before that.
out of the blue they where there again.
now i flashed the new cm nightly and i got the same prob again
guess i gotta be patient.
Maybe because of a Restart?
Worked fine for me and I did notice the market change on my DroidX.
What version is your market guys? Mine is 3.1.5 and I dont have such a problem
_______________________________
Flipped to xda by my mad device.
3.1.5 too. flashed the newesst gapps, they include the 3.1.3 market, but it auto updates real fast :0
Same here, but here's something new to add
I hadn't changed anything on my 2.1.3 rooted Droid X2 when this problem popped up two days ago.
Before coming here, cleared cache, deleted data, fixed permissions, rebooted, and rebooted (and cussed profusely at great volume).
And I tried a couple of the suggestions here, but to no avail.
I uninstalled the updates and the market dropped back to 3.1.3. Then saw the error "A server error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen.
My guess is that my account is hosed up in the Google Market cloud and the latest version of Market doesn't provide error feedback.
So still sitting with a blank My Apps screen. And of course, Google Android Support has Jack Sheisse to say about it to anyone.
I have exactly the same problem; 'my apps' just brings up the server error. Tried everything, but to no avail. I can still download new apps though!
My logcat shows this:
""[24] BaseAction.run(): ApiException: com.android.vending.api.ApiException: Error from backend. Request=com.android.vending.model.AssetRequest, Response=INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR
I/vending (16292): [1] BaseAction.displayErrorUi(): Server error in com.android.vending.MyDownloadsActivity$MyDownload sLoader: com.android.vending.api.ApiException: Error from backend. Request=com.android.vending.model.AssetRequest, Response=INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR""
For me, the answer to my original problem was that I have more than one Google account configured on my phone.
For some odd reason, having multiple accounts on my phone causes the market to get confused constantly as to which account it should default to. Since one account is only on my phone for gmail purposes, there are no market apps attached to it. When the market defaults to the Gmail only account, none of my apps show up. When I manually go into the Market settings on my phone and change the account it's using to the correct account, all my apps come back.
As of now, I have not found any way to tell the Market which Google account should be the default account. So, still living with this. I just check which account it's using before doing anything in the Market App. Huge pain in the Arse..
I have the same problem with new Market. When I click My Apps this is what I get: Applications and games owned by this account will appear here.
If you also have problems please report it to Google here so they can fix it.
FIXED!
Ignore.
(thought it was fixed, but it's not...)
My apps blank
I also got the problem with blank my apps and now i fixed it for me, maybe its the same for some others. The problem was one app (can be more), in my case teeter (htc sense game). So i backuped all my apps with Titanium Backup, then uninstall all with TB. Set delete market link when uninstall app in TB settings. Clear Market cache/data. Open Market go to my apps, go back and again to my apps. Now it works for me again. So i restored 10 apps, cleared cache/data from Market and looked into my apps. I did this restor in 10 apps steps and cleared Market data till i found the app that broke the market.
My Apps Brings Up Server Error Message
It doesn't seem to have to do with anything under our control, and google is typically silent about it. I think the only thing to do is wait and meanwhile I am using appbrain which is better than market anyway. If anybody does find a solution, and I am wrong about all this, please post it. This is really annoying and frustrating.
I'm too having same issue
I also get the same " applications and games owned by this account will appear here" after the update when I go to my Apps. I have two gmail accounts, and the problem is in my main account.. my secondery account have 2 apps installed, and have no problem displaying them...
I've tried all of the above solutions like clearing cache, data...
Strangely I have another phone with the same accounts setup and it works fine...
Same is issue here - Droid Bionic
"Applications and games owned by this account will appear here"

After installing the updated Google+, I started having a ton of data connectivity problems. I was able to uninstall Google+ and that seems to have fixed those issues. The one remaining issue I'm having is that whenever I go to "My Apps" in the market, all it shows is a white blank screen. I can download and install apps just fine (and even update them) but I can NOT get to the my apps screen. I was on Market 3.1.5 when this started. I've tried clearing Market data, market cache, changing Google accounts, clearing cache and dalvik from CWM, uninstalling and reinstalling the market via TiBu (both with and without data) and even updating to market 3.3.11 which is posted in the Apps and Themes section - all to no avail. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Been having the same problem here (on two different ROMs) on an HTC Droid Incredible. Have done multiple reflashes; nandroid restores, etc., but since "MyApps" disappeared earlier this week, absolutely zero solutions.
Was banging my head against the wall until I discovered (ironally, of course after Googling) a recent thread on DroidForums about the problem. Nobody has solved it; the new market doesn't fix it. And I can't believe that it hasn't become a bigger deal in the Android community if it's widespread.
One recommended solution I haven't tried is to scrap market and go with AppBrain until Google gets their act together. Another is to freeze Market Updater. Haven't tried that myself.
UPDATE: Okay, now I *have* tried the freeze Market Updater method and that has zero effect. I've filed an issue at Google's site for whatever that's worth.
Try this: go into market app on phone, search an app that is allready installed on your device. Uninstall it with market app and then reinstall it again from market and reboot your phone.
Don't wipe any data or cache! That's very important!
After rebooting go to market and open "My Apps"...no you should see all your installed apps.
This works for me at each time.
Nope. Was worth a try. Meanwhile, engaging with the techie at Google got me the "are you using an OS other than the one authorized by HTC."
Oh, pulease.

Same to me :-(
White Applist. Installing new Stock-ROM (Galaxy 2). Apps could be seen. After restore with TB, Applist is white again. This morning on my Galaxy Tab (never touched this): Applist is also white. Bull**t. Using App-Center meanwhile fore updating.

I solved the prob by deinstalling Black Markets on device. After this wipe the data of the Android Market and your Apps will be shown.
After the problem persisted over 3 different ROMs, except an AOSP ROM I just didn't like, I simply switched to AppBrain to get Market functionality.
It'll work until Google fixes the issue.
Try to deinstall other markets, especially "black markets" and wipe the data from the Android Market. It works!
yeah!! thanks. The problem is the black market... searching alternatives markets...

atrix running aura 1.2.2.2 with the damn market 3.3.11 HHHHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPP
Hello everyone!
I first reported it here, I've come to realize that this issue affects users of various roms, so I thought I'd ask here.
When going into the market, "my apps" list is empty, since yesterday.
The things I've tried include:
restarting
ticking and unticking "unknown sources"
cleaning market cache and data
upgrading and downgrading the market app
installing free and paid apps
removing and reinstalling the market itself
freezing and unfreezing the market using TB
running "market doctor" from TB
uninstalling non-market apps
I googled and searched this forum quite a bit, but there seems to be no recent feedback on such an issue, and the suggested methods don't work.
Demonstration image attached, courtesy of marvi0. This is from the latest market app. When using 3.1.5 or earlier, the page is just blank.
This seems to be a cross-rom issue, as I am using HyperDroid-Androidmeda-v2.8.7 and users reported it happening with Criskelo's ROM and Pulser's ROM as well. So far, 5 reports were collected.
A strange behavior I've noticed is that following a restart, while the storages are being scanned, I was able to briefly access the list. After 2 seconds, it refreshes into the blank again. Being not the only one with this issue, I'd deduct it's not device-specific.
I'd be glad to provide more details, and appreciate any input on this issue.
Check which gmail account the market is linked to, if you are using more than 1 account.

I have the same issue since last night. I even restored a nandroid backup (when I didn't have that issue) and problem perssisted. I am using Criskelo v75 ROM. I was told by Android Market "support" that there is nothing to do since I don't have the stock ROM (but problem is in the cloud: it is a Google problem!). So I will flash the stock ROM and I will send the screenshots to that support guy, he will work then or he will say "I don't wanna work so I will do like in your last message: nothing at all"...

Ok, maybe is a problem with the current account because I did full wipe (dalvik cache, cache and data), I installed one app from Market and... this app (and other integrated in the ROM appeared in "My apps"!!!! :O. I restored my nandroid backup but problem perssisted. I will unlink my Google account from my phone and I will link it again: maybe this is the solution.

Had no doubt that a full wipe will solve this, but the trick is pinpointing the actual problem...
Currently I am uninstalling everything (all user apps) from my device using the batch option in TB. I'll keep you posted!
EDIT:
It obviously helped. Uninstalling everything, then redownloading almost anything I had on my device. Currently I am downloading, this will be followed by restoring the data using TB. I have a long evening ahead of me
I'll try to pinpoint the exact app/place the error takes place.
I have had exactly the same problem, and over the last two days have tried absolutely every possible solution. I have tried three different market versions, wiping cache, data, uninstalling apps, restoring previously working back ups, The closest I came to a fix was to delete all back ups in Titanium back up, then factory reset, wipe cache, and dalvik, in Cwm, then reboot and re sign into Google account installing all my apps through the now working market.
However on doing another back up in TB and checking the market again I have the same message in "my apps " applications and games owned by this account will appear here soon!,
They never do! I am currently running latest Cyanogen nightly with latest Siyah kernel, I have also tried with cyan kernel.
Searching around on Google this does appear to be a problem for many other android users, and I suspect the fault lies with Google, However any possible solutions would be appreciated, This has took over my life for two days!
It happens to me too. In fact i've seen that i have several accounts bounded to the market (menu >> accounts) and one has no applications ! check this and select all accounts...

Don't know if this will work as I have never had the issue, but have you tried any of the market enabler hacks / apps?
Might be worth a try?

Had any apps that weren't installed from the market? E.g. manual APK installation, linked apps from Amazon Appstore, apps from alternative markets and such. Maybe it was triggered by a specific app...

Yes I do have apps from other markets, but I have "fixed this" once by wiping all data,re signing into market, restoring market apps there, then restoring all remaining other apps through TB, at this point market and My apps was working okay, However on creating a new back up in TB this problem re occurred.
As a footnote updates can be found and performed via the market, using Appbrain. I am at the point I have tried all possible solutions and firmly believe the fault lies with Google.
my issue was slightly different. I have 72 apps installed but in Market only 30 of them where visible since yesterday and one app (Antutu) shown to be updated - but even the update for antutu was not possible. Therefore I uninstalled Antutu und installed it again and surprising in the Market are now all 72 apps visible again.
So it seems some apps which have to be updatet brake the Market and do not show the app list or just partially.

I uninstalled 92 apps: I can't write by hand all those apps here! hahaha. But I will answer your questions: I had (and I still have some) manual APKs installations, I haven't ever had any app from a different Market. I had Market apps too.
A guy in a spanish forum (http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?p=3098961 (I started that thread) told that it happens with no official ROMs for the device and/or different DPI. I mean: if you have an HTC Legend with Cyanogenmod 7 your phone will be identified as a Nexus (I think), but your Legend DPI is lower than the Nexus DPI. Google ban those devices in the Market. But it doesn't make sese since I haven't installed a different ROM or changing the DPI in my Samsung Galaxy S!!!!
I hope this helps.
PS: all the affected users should write to Google in order to open a ticket and force them to work on it, instead of claiming about it in forums as I did hahaha (but I wrote to Google too )
This is now widely reported for all Android devices, and has an open issue on the Android Market Forum. Google is "aware and working on it".
For those who got their list back, don't be surprised if it goes away again, and don't fight with it - it's not you, it's them
Your market web library should still list all your apps, and I'm using AppBrain to get update notifications until they get it figured out.
What is this error and how do I fix it?
Logging into my freshly hard-reset device via Market I get a white box that states:
"Applications and games owned by this account will appear here"
I THOUGHT I solved it myself by following my own advice:
Clear data and cache.
Didn't work the first time and it seems to be randomly recurring,.... and now it's always happening, which leads me to believe it is a GOOGLE issue.
Just in case anyone else has this issue.
Anyone have any ideas?
I restored from a previously functional backup and still no dice.
It's happening to me, also. Calk's 2.0 on a Sprint S2 E4GT.
Cleared Market cache and data, no dice. Tried switching Market back-and-forth to another Google account, no dice.
Happily, I can still get updates via AppBrain.
I have a theory that it was due to something that I extracted from my CWM backup via Titanium Backup.
Did you by any chance do something similar?
I don't think my theory is in any way accurate. Something seems to be going on with the Google server end. I wish they'd fix it.
find a solution (maybe someone find one BETTER)
i have tried anything to solve this problem but no dice. now i have installed KL1 (wipe version ) and the market works perfectly
i also have heard about many problem with market on KK5..
Interestingly enough, My Apps worked correctly ... once ... after I flashed Calk's 2.0.1a over 2.0.
Still using AppBrain to sync updates.
On evo3d, this seems to be a widespread problem across many phones even on stock software. I've been experiencing for a couple months now. Do you have any sideloaded apps, bootleg or amazon or mikandi? My theory is that the 3rd party apps are interfering with the market. I have amazon apps that show in google market as purchased. I uninstalled everything and reloaded with my titanium backup, marked as sideloaded, worked for about a week then the market started reassoiciating itself with my 3rd party apps and broke again. appbrain doesnt pick up all updates either, I've been waiting for about a week for it to pick up the beautiful widgets update and hasnt so far. this sucks.
try this solution. download and install appbrain. sync your google account with appbrain and then click "sync" on apprain. when sync is finished, open market and now it works . please check this

go to market accept user agreement
now it will work. please tell me
I have same problem before restore my apps with titanium on XWKK5; so, I think it was an error for use market doctor with system apps, then I clear all market links with Titanium and works, market came back lo list my apps but before install some apps I have the problem again and delete market link doesn't work; when I restore XWKK2 nandroid, market works fine and I never install balckmarket or similars, I've wrote to google support but only says clar cache and data from market, but doesn't work and never responding me ...
PD: Sorry for my english, I'm from latinoamerica
This is definitely a problem which surfaces with KK5.
Upon upgrade to KL1, the problem vanishes. Flashing back to KK5, even factory reset, brings it back.
I've seen my stuff in My Apps just once in several weeks...immediately after flashing Caulk's 2.5 full. Worked correctly once, then everything dissapeared again.

Same here. Flashed Calk's 2.5 full, market worked fine first time I selected "My Apps". Second time I tried, I would get one of the following:
- "Apps and games owned by this account will appear here."
- "Applications and games owned by this account will appear here."
I'm attaching a screenshot. (BTW, tried reflashing the ROM, did not solve the problem.)

I have figured out how to fix this with titanium backup. Basically, you use the remove all market links option then attach each app back with titanium one by one. Pay attention to what apps you add back, excluding any from Amazon app store. Reboot and wait. After about a half a day things will be back to normal

I think it's only available to pro versions. It's actually labeled "Destroy all Market links" in the "market tools" menu item.
Please help me on this.....
So here the problem : As you are aware many times this problem seems to "popup" from Google Servers I mean "my apps" tab simply doesn' show your apps and gives just a white page with "Apps" and Games buttons telling you that "here will appear account applications" or something like that.
- freezing and wiping all Market and Google framework related apps with totally unlinking user apps from the market simply give you 2 seconds of happiness listing all your installed apps but after few moments the problem is there again.
- data format, fresh reinstalling OMEGA rom or other 2.3.6 rom seems to give the same result : signing up with my account (without any apps installed) gives the list of applications but installing just one and the problem face off.
- trying to reinstall my old backup of stock (not deodexed) 2.3.4 roms seems to give the list back and stay there.
So basically my stock original rom works (2.3.4) the other deodexed 2.3.6 seems to have this problem with my account.
Another thing I have seen is that if I unlink all my apps from my account seems to not work (also wiping data of market app) and if it does (resetting my account e signing back) after a while the list from "uninstalled" became "installed" so it seems that google automatically get the installed apps from my phone and link them.
No Idea.
Hope it will fix itself as other user reported time ago.

Download market fixer, see what apps are causing the problem and tjen just temove them or unlink from the market

Might sound silly but if you use multiple Google accounts with your device make sure that you select your default one through the market.
I was going mad for awhile myself until I spotted this so hopefully it is nothing more.

OK, I screwed something up and now I cannot find a way to fix nor have i found anyone who has done what I have done. So here is an interesting question/challenge. First, the back story.
I never knew that the old market (before Play) could potentially authenticate you as a different user if you have multiple gmail accounts on your phone. So, one day while in the market, I was shocked to see a ton of my applications missing from the "My Aps" list. I did not notice that it was not logged in to the market with my default user account but instead another gmail account I have on the phone.
I researched a little, very little. I knoew about the market tools in titanium backup and thought I could get them back with the option that allows you to create market links for apps that were missing them. In the back of my mind, I figured if I didn't get an app from the market, it wouldn't create the link (or if the app doesn't exist in the market). Anyway, I chose the optin to create market links for all my apps in order to fix this issue.
Then I realized I was in th market with the wrong account so I changed it back to my default account and all my apps are showing up just fine.
Here is my problem: Any paid apps I side loaded from Amazon App Store and GetJar for free now have market links. The apps won't update from the market. I get an error -"Download denied because you did not purchase this app" - On my phone the app shows up in my apps list as purchased - it does not show up on my apps list when I log in to the market (now play) from a PC and look at my apps list that way.
Sooooo, I go in to titanium backup and remove the market link for all the apps giving me the market error. I check my apps in the market and the apps appear to have been removed.
Great, problem should be solved but it is not. Sometimes, later in the day or maybe a day or two later, the issue starts up again. It's as if the deleted market link is getting recreated automatically somehow.
So as far as the market/play go, there is a list on internet with google that is correct as far as the apps I actually downloaded and purchased from the market AND a completely separate list kept on my phone that seems to trump the actual list on-line stored with my account.
Does anyone know a way to manually clear out my local cache of the market/play market links for good?
I even noticed after the fact that a market link now gets created for anything I side load if the same app is available in google play.
The last thing I tried was removing all market links and slowly adding them back one app at a time (for the ones I know I got from the market) but then the old sideloaded ones start getting their links again for no apparent reason.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I don't want to.
Over the past few weeks (since 621 pushed to Droid Xers) I've done more factory resets and 621 sbf'ing than I ever care to do again. I lost my phone after all that and got it replaced with one from insurance that shipped to me with .605 so I just recently got root back, restored my phone with titanium backup (which seems to have restored this problem for me) got OTA rootkeeper and now I am on 621 rooted.
1. - I'm chicken. Don't want to lose root on this 621 and am afraid to factory reset it.
2. If my root is safe on 621 with a factory reset, I would have to take a full backup and use that to restore after the factory reset. This will probably end up restoring the issue again after hours of running a backup restore.
I'm a bit shell shocked over the entire 621 ordeal and am trying to find out another way to fix this issue without having to perform a factory reset and then manually installing all my apps one at a time since TTBU will probably just restore the issue again. My left eye still twitches.
I have cleared all cache as well as Davlik cache without success.
Is that the only suggestion? Is there a file I can manually edit or delete that can clear this off my phone? It is an entirely different phone than the one the issue originally popped up on. My backups seem to have preserved whatever is causing it.

EDIT: I updated titanium backup today and came across a statement in the release notes in regards to the market doctor and links. seems Google Play is taking control over these things more on the server side and less on the device side which may or may not be crippling some of the current market link functionality in TB . At least that is how I interpreted what I read. So I went through my apps and started deleting market links again for apps I know I side loaded. So far so good. I'll report back in a week if there are no further replies or issues.
EDIT2: Seems I am not getting update notifications from the market for those side loaded apps but there is more glitchiness goodness. Almost all of my apps are showing up in the market as "not installed" but they are. Thinking I may just factory reset anyway. Just don't want to lose root although I've read I won't. Still looking for another way.
Edit3 - OK, sorry but factory wipe and reset might fix the issue and I might not lose root but I won't know what went wrong. And I need to know why this phone is glitching the way it is with the market so I dug deeper. Several things I noticed while paying attention to the phone for a long time AND viewing the logs; services were restarting over and over again. I kept getting strange JVM issue showing up in the logs and a lot of warnings and errors. I reset permissions and it changed little. Check device administrators and discovered several of my rooted apps did not have their administrator rights eneabled. So i enebaled those. I also noticed my Bakup Assistant stopped working and would not accept my PIN no matter how much verizon tried to help or how much I used google. All solutions for clearing google play data/cache and sync data/cache ended with a force close of application manager. Very messed up.
The play store was missing most of my apps when viewed from the android app but everything seemes to be there when viewing the play store from a pc. very strange. Then I discovered a little gem I hadn't known about before. In the batch jobs for titanium backup there are two interesting options. On is to clear all cache from user and system apps, the other is to clear all data from user and system apps.
I ran both jobs, cache first then data. But I did not run it on all apps. I narrowed the selection down to google play store, google framework, sync manager (or something like that) and both backup assistant apps (app + client). Yes I like to keep stock rom, Then I went in to the google play store...
Many of my apps were still missing but a bunch did show up. I used Titanium backup to destroy all market links for all user apps then I used it again to recreate them. Then I went back t the googleplay store and that is where I am now.
Almost everything is showing up for an update. So I choose to update all.
The apps I side loaded are getting errors. BUT, the google play store appears to be destroying the market links for those apps because when I go back in to the play store, they are no longer listed but remain installed on my phone. I have about 30 more apps to go through but it appears all of this has fixed the issue combined with the new play store and the way it works with apps. I'll report back again in a few days once things settle down and I'm sure the issue is resolved or not.
EDIT4: I have 12 apps remaining with this issue - going to try this app and suggestions - aytchTeeTeePee://davesdroid.blogspot.com/2012/03/android-market-issue-now-fixed-for-me.html
Probably won't be back here for a few hours, I'll let ya'll know how this turns out later.
Edit5: I lost track of which threads I was responding to, thought I put this here but had to copy paste from another thread -
Well, I ran that market fixer app twice. the first time it found 47 bad market links. Most of them look like apps that are no longer available in the market for what ever reason and the rest were some side loaded apps that don't exist in the market. so I cleared all those out.
I ran it a second time and it didn't find any bad links so i had it scan all links. i manually selected the 12 apps that were side loaded and still asking for updates in the market that it won't allow me to get. After removing those 12 links with this app, i no longer seem to have the issue. all my market apps are up to date and the proper ones are showing as installed, no more invalid market links.
I don't think this app alone fixed my issue. I found a lot of issues on my phone (read entire first reply from me above with all the edits).
The last few things I did was to remove and reinstall Launcher Pro (from the market/play store) since I don't do roms and don't like default blur. My phone is now snappier than it has ever been, seriously never ran as fast as it does now.
I've been using setcpu for a while and recently started adjusting my vm heap size but both were unstable before today. finally got the fastest vm heap size figured out (40m) also. I'm due for upgrade in may but am holding on to that upgrade until (hopefully) the galaxy Note comes to Verizon as the journal or whatever. so I'm really happy to have a my phone working again and working pretty fast also. I can't tell you how many performance issues it's had over the past few weeks that all started when i did a complete app restore from titanium backup and shortly after upgraded to .621 with OTa rootkeeper. I've had this phone for 2 years (since froyo) and have taken all OTA's and pulled all the tricks to retain or regain root so my titanium backup probably had a lot of garbage in it and restoring it to a functional phone may have screwed something up.
As much as I thought I would have had to do another wipe/factory restore, i am so glad I didn't. I've learned more about An-Droid X over the past 2 months than I have in the past 2 years of using them.
Performance comparison
I originally wanted to post this here (h-t-t-p-://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771232) but I haven't enough posts yet for the dev forums. After fixing my above issues and talking about how snappy my phone is, I thought I'd post some numbers that may or may not help folks understand why this was pretty exciting.
Phone properties is stock 4.5.621.MB810 rooted from .605 with OTA root keeper.
Droid X
Android 2.3.4
Running at 1GHz via SetCPU plugged in profile. Nothing disabled (not in airplane mode)
No build.prop edits with default Dalvik heap size of 32m
Linpack
Single threaded - MFlops: 4.046 Time: 20.71 Norms: 5.68 Precision: 2.22
Multi-threaded - MFlops: 10.965 Time: 15.38 Normles: 3.21 Precision: inconsistent
Quadrant Standard: 1176
After much tweaking I settled on a 40m davlik heap size (stable) and I edited my build.prop minus the screen density and button light tweaks from here h-t-t-p-://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771232 and these are my new numbers.
Linpack
Single threaded - MFlops: 16.34 Time: 5.11 Norms: 5.68 Precision: 2.22
Multi-threaded - MFlops: 15.28 Time: 11.03 Norms: 3.24 Precision: 2.22 inconsistent
Quadrant Standard: 1763
So yeah, only a few months left with this device and it's running better than ever.
EDIT1: I forgot to mention that clearing my davlik cache and clearing the cache partition brought those 12 side loaded apps back to the market. I had to rerun the market fixer app to get rid of them again but the dev noted this in the release notes so it was to be expected.
This is a fix for apps that have been purchased from Amazon or sideloaded and not able to purchase from Play Store

I don't have an issue purchasing apps from the play store. That's the strange part. Only that some of my side loaded apps were appearing in the update list on the play store. Not sure that link or the info in it has much to do with my complaint but thanks for posting it. I'll save this info for future reference if need be.

hi i don't know what u're experiencing is similar to what others users and myself are experiencing but i hope my solution helps.
first try using market doctor found within titanium backup itself. it seems to work for some people.
if it doesn't, which is in many cases, including mine, got to apps > google play store > clear cache, clear data and also remove updates.
it will make up phone go back to market but dun worry, it will be automatically be updated back to play store in awhile.
viola! apps all refreshed.
hit thanks if this helps!
Nope, nada, ziltch.

Nah, that never worked nor does it still. The best success I've had at holding off this issue for days at a time is an app called Market Fixer available in the play store. It seems to work for several days, then for no reason at all, the apps are back again.
My understanding is that this is a long standing issue on google's end.
