Have you checked your ACcounts and Sync settings? When I installed this ROM, I had to go to settings>Accounts & sync and Check the Auto-sync box. Also, click your gmail account from there and make sure it says Sync is ON.

Have you checked your ACcounts and Sync settings? When I installed this ROM, I had to go to settings>Accounts & sync and Check the Auto-sync box. Also, click your gmail account from there and make sure it says Sync is ON.
Yep I verified all these things...can't figure out why its happening or when exactly it started...
I didn't think about that, thanks for the help.
I had the same problem. This is how I fixed it. I assume you have the launcherpro apk. Backup your settings.
1) Open Root Explorer (must do this BEFORE you open titanium, you'll see why...)
2) Open Titanium backup
3) Remove LauncherPro via Titanium
4) Hold HOME button, pull up recents (this is why you must open Root Explorer before you delete, because now you have no homescreen)
5) Navigate to folder with launcherpro apk
6) Copy Launcherpro APK to /system/app
7) Long press launcherpro apk and select permissions
8) Make sure permissions are set as follows:
a) Read: User, Group, Others
b) Write: User
c) Execute: none
Reboot. Voila. Restore backup settings.

Market updates for system apps
For any app that is included as part of the rom, updates from the market generally won’t install. This is because they are in system/app, and are designated as read only. If you really want the updated app, and don’t want to wait for an update to the rom, you can accomplish it in one of three ways.
the easiest way is thru root explorer. go into system/app, and then click the "mount r/w" button (to change the system files from read only to read/write). then find the app, long press on it, and then hit "delete". then push the "mount ro" button to change back to read only, exit out of root explorer and then reboot (this is important to get the change in system apps to "take.") when you boot back up, you should be able to install the app from the mkt, with the update.
the second avenue is thru Terminal Emulator. type in:
su
sysrw
rm /system/app/[name of app].apk
sysro
reboot
again, it's necessary to actually type in "reboot" and enter, to get the change to take.
finally, you can go into the rom zip file, manually delete/remove the app, and then reflash the newly configured rom zip file w/o the system app. then you should be able to dl the updated app from the market.
Word of warning: if you are running a theme, the themed app is for the version that is contained in the rom. If you delete the app in system, and then update from the market, you will lose the “theming”. But, you may be able to go into the theme zip file, extract the app icon, and replace it on your updated app.
EDIT: from the changelog, it appears that there is a mechanism to move some system apps to data, so that you can update from the market without having to go thru the above-described process. check out the op for further info. if the app you are trying to update (e.g. google search) is in data, but won't allow the update, then it may just be a matter of uninstalling the app, and then downloading the current version from the mkt.

Thanks for that info. I had this same issue with SS4.8, but it was cuz i wouldn't reboot after i removed the app from /system. Now i know! Thanks.
i just edited my post - check that. UD apparently has a mechanism that pushes system apps to data to allow for mkt updates. look in the op, and check the "EDIT" portion of my post.
