"Poor"? App or process? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody recognise this? Name "Poor" (literally like that.) Came up under list in Advanced Task Killer (I know) as something running. Isn't anything I've downloaded or installed. Wasn't in list under Manage Apps either.

Tytn to Desire ... Need a Bit of Help ...

Hey guys,
Justa few quick questions ...
Is there an application or something that will log all the apps I have downloaded via my account and list them for me, so when I do a backup I knwo what I had before?
Is there an app to list the above AND download the latest versions without me having to manually do anything (Shashimi for Android).
I have loads of text on my Tytn is there an easy way to back these up in a rar file or something. I don't want to import them to the desire just store them.
I sue S2U2, I like the Android lock screen BUT I like being able to view my texts/emails without unlocking the device, what options do I have?
Lastly, is there an app to automatically backup your text on a weekly basis and email it to your gmail as an archive? I want it to also ignore the previous week's text.
Am I asking too much L.o.L.?

I don't have an Android phone yet ...and won't do until 7/8/9-April... but playing with my wife's Hero this is what I know...
You seem to have to create a level of Google account in orpder to purchase from Android Market and logging into your Google Account and going to Android Market will bring up a list of your previously downloaded apps.
I haven't found a stand alone app for this but purchasing your apps through AppBrain.com and using their AppBrain app seems to do what your asking. AppBrain doesn't seem to list all apps though - definitely missing UK specific apps such as Beebplayer.
I've had WinMo phones for the past 8 years and never heard of a facility to do this - if there is one I'd be chuffed to hear about it myself.
Dunno - someone else will have to answer this one I'm afraid
I believe that most backup apps will do a scheduled backup - Sprite Backup definitely does but to the SD Card only (no automailer), but WRT ignoring previously backed up messages I've not heard of this feature in any backup app.
I hope this helps to some extent.

AppBrain allows you to create lists on their site, so when you change phones or wipe it, you can tell it to reinstall the whole list. I did that when I moved from G1 to Desire -- worked like a charm.

You should ask that in TyTN forum

SMS backup
P.S. sorry, I was lazy and did not include links -- google is your friend

You can store all your text messages online with Microsoft My Phone or else store them on your PC.

THANKS ALL!
Will have a look at this FabianNL as if I can export to individual files then I will be happy. To be honest it isn't a big deal .
Been playing with my Desire for a while, I can see the appeal of Android it's quick, big buttons, keyboard isn't back considering I'm coming from Tytn (as well as a Touch HD but that was BAD).
My next step is ... what programs should I "replace"? I'm refering to applications like mail, text/messages, etc the build in ones.
I am though over the moon with the device the text input ROCKS! I do have a list of applications I need suggestions on though ... I'm used to the following on Windows Phone so I need an Android variation ...
G-Alarm - A Comprehensive alarm application
G-Profile - easily change my profiles from night, work, home, etc, this would be great as a widget
Task Facade - A general task manager that will show all my running applications and let me close/switch
Wake On Text/Email/etc - As it says ... and stay awake until message has been read!
Lock Without using Power button - easy ...
That's about it for now
I use Klaxon for my alarms.
SMS Popup will turn on the screen when you get text messages (not sure if there is similar for emails) and can give reminders untill it's read.
As far as profiles, then would HTC's Scenes not do the trick? Failing this Locale can automagically turn on and off services and silent/loud the ringer based on various criteria like time and location.
You can easily switch to recent apps by pressing and holding the home key
And there are loads of Task Managers on the market for killing running apps
What does sense have for managing profiles?
Hi,
I would like replace my TyTn II to HTC Desire but Im not shure if I will be happy with Desire(Android)...
Main things which wory me are:
1.)Synchronization with PC with USB cable. I DON'T want and will not sync with google account. All I need is same automatic sync line with activesync. I need sync Contacts, Calendar, Emails(Configure which folders), Task's, Notes. Sync will be done with MS Outlook 2007/2010.
2.)Is possible set more than one email account? I need 3x pop3/smtp email accounts.
3.)Is possible disable threaded SMS/MMS? I realy hate this function.
4.)Is there any app which allow connet to windows remote desktop(RDP and not any 3rd party VNC or other)?
5.)Is there some app/pack which can work with word, excel, power point files?
6.)Does included browser support certificates? I know that opera mobile on WinMo do not support it, so I can't manage cPanel server, make payments(bank)...
I think that this is enought for start
Thanks for any help and answers.
Best regards, _Dejan_

Titanium Backup and Marketplace

I've read around and it doesn't appear completely possible, however hopefully I'm wrong.
Scenario is this;
A user has a normal free Google account, so usual stuff Gmail, etc.
When Google Apps came out, user buys a domain and uses Google Apps on their domain, using their Apps account for everything Google-related..happy days.
User decides one day that they don't want to pay for Apps or their domain anymore and decides to go back to using their original free Google account.
Everything goes beautifully, until user realizes that all the apps they paid for on Marketplace are hard-wired to their Apps account.
User hard resets their phone and restores their apps using Titanium Backup - all looks good and all apps work - however user realizes that none of those apps show up on Marketplace as being installed and therefore will never update - user understands why.
User searches for a solution but gives up and adds their Apps account to the Marketplace dropdown - apps appear as normal now.
Does anyone know if Titanium Backup can shed more light here? Can anyone shed any light please?
Heaps of thanks if you can!
I can't help the OP, but has anyone solved these additional issues?
I can't start a thread so i'm going to put this post under the TiBu and Marketplace thread, which seems reasonable.
I'm having a few problems. I'm rooted and running AOKP JB M1 4.1.2 core.
When i select an app from TiBu and tell it to detach from the Market, the function runs and claims it is successful. When i look in the Play Store, even after a reboot, the app i "detached" still shows up and with an update that i'd like to avoid. Can someone comment on how to successfully accomplish this task?
I also chose the option under the menu to "Integrate sys Dalvik into ROM." Now, every time i reboot, the phone has to Optimize all apps. Is this a flaw of the feature? Is this expected? Is there a step i missed? For now i'll undo that option and live with it, but i'd like to understand why it's prompting an optimization of all apps for every reboot.
Thanks in advance. I hope this forum hasn't become a wasteland.

How to port an App?

Hi, i've got a little problem.
I mistakenly deleted an App from another account. This app is no longer available in the Appstore. But i've got it installed on my secondary account. How can i port it back? I know it's still installed, but not accessible for the second account. Any ideas?
That... is probably not easy. Anybody have a better suggestion that re-packaging the .APPX file and sideloading it? That's not a good solution, really, but I can't think of a better one offhand.
No one else got an idea?
I really don't want to sideload it. I thought someone would know what registry keys i would need to do it. I looked around and found a lot in the local user registry. I thought maybe just copy them over to get access to it, or something like that.
You could certainly try that. I'm afraid I don't really know how the modern app launching works, or I'd suggest just trying to create a launcher link right to the app. You can't start them the same way as desktop apps though, even when they have EXE files.

You could try coping the folders over. C:\Program Files\WindowsApps is where they are located. The folder is hidden and you have to take ownership to open.
Copy it over from what? It's another profile on the same computer. All profiles run apps from the same location...

Why do I always have to reoganize my apps into folders after updates?

I don't know the Smartphone terms, so I'll just use PC terms.
in my Programs list (or maybe on a Smartphone it's actually "App Drawer"...I'm not sure), I've categorized a lot of my apps into folders. After awhile, and I'm assuming after an update, specifically, my apps seem to remove themselves from within folders I've created, but if that does happen, I then see them in the "root" (or just listed in the Programs list, and not in any folder).
I'm pretty sure that this was an issue on my previous phone (Droid Razr Maxx).
Is there a way to ensure that apps grouped into folders, "stick" ?
I don't know if the same behavior exists when copying the folders onto any one of my Desktop screens. Either way. it's annoying, because I keep having to re-group my apps. Any help on this issue?
I don't think other Launchers have this problem.

[Q] permissions manager vs ApOps

I am currently using the app called "Permission Manager". I got it since I'm rather frustrated by all the permissions that the apps claim. Why on earth would the Power app - I guess that's the system app controlling the battery - need to know my location? It certainly does not need it to work - I know that since I have all possible location-related settings on my phone switched off. And that's just one example. Every other app wants to read my contacts. And what's up with the "phone identity"? Does a task list really need that? I can scribble a to-do list on a piece of paper and it won't ask for my pen's identity, right?
Anyways, the Permission Manager integrates itself into Settings->Apps. If I click on any app, it would say "App ops" on top of the screen. I have read however, that App Ops have been disabled. Now, this manager is only able to change some of the permissions, not all of them. And it misses the most important one - net access. Perhaps there is a logical reason for the flashlight app to need net access and location information, but I'm not seeing it. That's why I'd like to have an app that will have a white list of things that are allowed to use the network.
So, is there anything more advanced than the Permission Manager? Mind you, my phone is completely stock, not rooted, locked bootloader, etc.
