Root When flashing [almost] any custom Rom.. missing apps

Almost every time I install a custom Rom, the Marketplace won't show all of the apps. The missing apps aren't always paid apps though, just certain ones (both free and paid). The only solution I've found is to go back to the stock Rom.. does anybody have any ideas/suggestions? I've tried searching (this forum and Google) but didn't really find any answers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The market is smart enough to see what version of Android you are using. If you are running a modified OS or not yet approved OS fro your device (like 2,2) then it wont even let you see the apps to prevent incompatibility issues.

There is no solution other than wait for Google to approve the apps for your OS, then they will show.

You can however backup your apps with Astro or TB and then restore them after flashing the new ROM but I don't think you will get notified of market updates. Might be worth it for you.

Just curious but can you list some of the apps you are having problems seeing?
