Greetings everyone, i had to do a hard reset today, and restored all apps via mybackuppro, however they are not showing up as downloaded in the market place. Is there a way to sync all apps to show as downloaded in the marketplace so that i will receive apps updates? tnx
Help please...: (

Yes, that is correct.
You need to use an application that can restore Market links. I use Titanium Backup Donate version, but I'm sure there are probably other apps than can do this.

Tnx for the advice, not rooted though, so i cant use TiBackup, any other programs like TiBackup for non rooted phones?

Sorry, I'm not aware of any apps that can do this for unrooted phones.

Tnx again, resorted to redownloading everything just so it shows up up on the market list, but if anyone knows a better way just let me know

For an unrooted user, I'd suggest using AppBrain to sync all your apps, and if/when you wipe or install a new ROM, you can just download AppBrain again, and have it re-install all your applications for you from the Market.
Unfortunately, it doesn't do this automatically, as you need to manually confirm each application install from the Market, but it does save you the bother of having to search for all your apps again.

Dave
Hehe, thought of using appbrain right after the last redownload i did

I decided to go back to stock after trying some of the custom ROMs here. I backed up all my apps using ASTRO. After flashing back to stock and rooting, I restored the apps but they are not showing up on the downloaded apps in the Market. Is there a way to fix this?
It will remember your apps from the gmail account you used when downloading them.

No, what he's saying ia that the market won't recognize that those apps are installed on the device and won't notify you of updates, etc.
If you're rooted, you can use titanium backup. Its free and it will update the market place to show the apps installed.

The donate version of Titanium Backup is easily worth 5x the cost.

Hi guys, pls assist...
I want to hard-reset my Desire but not sure if this will wipe everything (contacts, sms, emails, installed apps, homescreens, settings etc.) Or, will they be backed-up and restored back exactly as it was before(?)
Well, when I applied the latest OTA firmware upgrade, that was the case; I mean everything was in place as if nothing has changed, because in privacy settings "backup my settings" and "automatic restore" options were enabled. May I expect same after a hard-reset too?

Hard reset wipes the data and settings on your phone.
OTA does not.
You should use some kind of backup app in order to restore to the state before the factory reset.
Thx 3722, so I hv decided to postpone this for now..
And, next question in this case, if I use any 3rd party backup app and use it to restore my phone, shall the Market recognize my installed apps as if they have been downloaded and installed via market? Actually that's the only thing keeping me away from hardreset.
Is there any backup utility or a method ensuring installed apps recognized by market after restore?

Titanium Backup is what you need.

Yes, Titanium is the most popular backup tool and it needs root.
If you don't want to root you can use appbrain app and sync thru appbrain.com once you've reset the phone, to install the apps that you had previously.
Hmm.. I m not rooted and dont want to root just for that (will consider rooting just in case we do not get gingerbread and/or the new sense officially)
As to the appbrain app -already installed in my phone- if i backup/sync apps with appbrain, then will they be linked again to the android market, so that i will be able to get future updates, or only by appbrain?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
When you use appbrain the apps are installed from the android market, so you should have them linked.
See this thread
Thanks for all your valuable input, will give it a try soon.

Maybe switching ROMs or re-flashing your current ROM will work. Give it a shot, backup your apps of course.

Are they apps that you have ever had installed? Try installing an app that you have never had installed and see if that works. If it does, then use a file explorer (I use astro), and see if there's anything in the folder titled ".android_secure" (without the quotes of course) on your sdcard. I actually had this problem before, and there was some left over app data that was interfering with the installation I guess
geez was hoping this would work but I just checked my astro application and checked android secure and all directories are empty. also this is a problem with applications that I ready have that need to be updated and brand new applications I am downloading from the market... I just get a triangle with an ! in the middle of itfor each application that did not successfully install... and this is a brand new problem haven't done anything different been running the newes t fresh for months now

What is your memory situation?
Froyo apps2sd ? A2sd ?
GO into recovery and clear cache and Dalvick cache.
Try wiping the market data this happened to me couldn't update or install anything and it worked
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Did you install your previous apps from the market or did download apk's then install them? Try Settings>Applications>Manage Clear market cache and data that might work like the other person said. Check your memory. What rom are you using? Try backing everything up then go do a factory reset and then setup up your google account that's what I did when that happened to me months back and seemed to work. Hope I helped
Just a question regarding upgrading from a one ROM to another ROM, can we like preserve the applications that we had install in our phone so that we don't have to reinstall them again? Or we have to reinstall everything? What about paid applications does market automatically knows that you've purchase the app already? Thanks...

You can use an app called Titanium Backup to save copies of your applications and their settings. Then restore them back again on the new ROM. Usually the apps restore automatically anyway once you enter your google account details onto the phone, it will download all the apps you had installed previously. If you do it this way all your settings will be lost though.
And yes, market will remeber what apps you purchased.
Thanks for the quick response.. Much appreciated...

Good morning guys! Is there any way to save your market apps instead of having to download them everyone you change to a new ROM?

Titanium backup?
Probably the most useful program you will see mentioned all over these forums is "Titanium Backup". It is the best. It will back up all of your apps and the data associated with them. It will also back up your system data, which can be useful if you are restoring to a new device with the same ROM, but can break things (obviously) if you're switching from one ROM to a different one.
The free version of TB will allow you to restore your apps one at a time, and the paid version (recommended) has a batch mode, where you can restore everything in one go.
Of course TB requires a rooted device. If you are not rooted, you could use the backup feature of a program like Astro File Manager, but it is limited. It cannot back up the data for the apps (your Angry Birds high scores will be lost! ), and certain apps are "locked" and cannot be backed up unless you're rooted.
Thanks for the help! I already have the paid version of titanium backup. Just Jane to figure it out now! Lol
