I've had cyanogenmod installed for a day now and I've finally gotten all of my sms, apps, and launcher settings transferred over (thanks to everyone who helped me get it going). Everything is working fine except that after the first reboot after installing my apps, almost all of the apps that I had moved to the sd card are saying that they are no longer installed. I used astro to backup and restore them. Any suggestions?

There's a setting in Menu > Settings > CyanogenMod > Application Settings that is prolly you're problem.... try un-checking the "install to SD card feature and re-install them frm Titanium or whatever.... Just somethin to try
I've used titanium to install some of the other ones, but I don't have time right now to deal with nandroid and then reinstall my apps. probably tonight I'll give it another crack. I don't see why they wouldn't work though. For now I'm just gonna use the default sense rom.

Hey guys..
I searched this forum and google but no luck about how to backup your settings such as Sense tabs, email accounts, etc.
Anyone got a link to that somewhere?
I'm asking because I just learned about the Droid Kitchen and messing around with it and thought I include the settings as well.
Thanks.
Titanium Backup?
TB did a great job, but I wanted to see if we can backup without TB. For TB, I don't see an option to just backup settings. It's either apps+user data or everything. I don't need to backup my downloaded apps cuz I use A2SD and the apps stays in the sd card now. So when the A2SD script kicks in, then all apps are automatically become available.
So i'm looking for some'n that just let me backup maybe an xml file for settings etc.
Are you rooted? If so, ROM manager will back up all your apps, data, settings, everything. I had the same worry and I couldn't find the answer either. I just tried it and it worked. I was VERY pleased.
Hi,
I was just trying out a few ROMs, and after flashing CyanogenMod (The stable release, can't remember the exact name) and then doing a full wipe and restoring my LeeDroid Nandroid backup, I ran into a bit of a kerfuffle...
After booting up, I was greeted with blank homescreens - which was a bit annoying, but nothing too bad - and so went to get started on repopulating them.. only to find hardly any apps were present. I put this down to some of them not having synced yet, until I noticed that even system apps were missing; Market, Music etc - not a single downloaded/sideloaded app is present. They appear under the "Manage Applications" section of the Settings menu but only Data and Cache are present, not the Application themselves.
I reflashed the Nandroid backup again (and again), and was met with the same, only Astro File Manager had miraculously appeared so I could at least install some apps from my SD Card using that. So after installing the Market and Root Explorer from there, I could see that the System Apps were infact there, but required manual installation. I can't even re-download all of the lost Apps, as even attempting to select one in the Market leads to a force close.
I can effectively do nothing, except use the tiny array of Apps that are actually there, which at least does include Messaging and Phone. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this, or a partial-solution at least?
Thanks
Ok, just as I finished typing this the Factory Reset finished and everything loaded. It seems everything is working now, but still, I'm just left with System Apps and with no sign of my other apps syncing/downloading.
After the wipe factory reset did you do nandroid install again straight after?

Yeah, and the same happened again. I tried various nandroids from all sorts of ROMs, and I would just get the same, even restoring the Stock ROM.
That said, the thread may as well be closed, I just went and did everything manually and everything's fine now. It took many hours, but it's in a usable state now.
i expect u will face the same problem soon as long as ur apps list will grow and be installed on ur device, this is a big issue i faced and still experimenting to get the best solution for, but currently the most effective cure is to mount ur sd card to a card reader, and go to the folder android_secure, cut some bunch of files ther(maybe half of them) and past to ur desktop, mount back the sd to ur device, ur phone will bahave normally now, this will work great after ur nandroid backup, when u see it work, try again the previous step and start to add files to android_secure folder from ur desktop, untill the bad behaviors start to occur.
hope this will help
I've been swapping between a few different roms to find which best suits and want to stick with miui as it seems to work best with my sony liveview watch.
problem is that when i set it up the marketplace doesn't automatically download my apps that i've had on other roms and using one of the free backup apps and then restoring means the apps don't show up in my apps in the market so won't update.
on other devices i've had to alter the build.prop fingerprint and that's sorted it but no luck this time. in fact the miui /system won't mount as RW so had to use adb to push a revised build.prop to try.
is there a backup app that will show my installed apk's in the market or a trick to get the market to redownload them anyway?
better yet is there a way to use the bluetooth files from miui on cm7?
Try wiping the dalvik cache from recovery console. Also try to install anything from the market, this sometimes prompts it to reconnect your account

Also remembered that titanium backup has a fix broken market links if you have been using that as your mode of backup. Try all of these option and hopefully something will work

hi
cheers for the tips. already tried the dalvik cache and downloading something to kickstart it but no dice
i'll try out titanium and see what happens
only the apps you downloaded via market are re-downloaded. If you got some .apks and installed them on your own they are not downloaded.
And remember to check "backup my settings" under privacy. Check "backup and restore" when you flash a ROM.
cheers for the tip
they're all from the market so crossing my fingers for when i get a chance to try later.
I noticed today that "My Apps" in the market is only displaying 4 of my Apps with are PAID FOR apps, none of the free ones are showing. I ran a few updates to some random programs 3-4 days ago, otherwise nothing has change at all. Some update must have corrupted market data or something.
Anyway, I cleared all market data, rebooted phone. Opened market, it asked me to accept terms, etc. then I went to "My Apps" and its still b0rked. Any suggestions other than clearing cache and data from Google Services Framework and Market? That is all I can think of so far. It seems this has worked for some, but not me.
UPDATE
Sorry gang, this method worked after all. It just took 4-5 minutes for all of the apps to show back up. It initially only showed the ones it had licenses in the registry for. After Market was open a bit, it started showing all of my installed free apps too. MODs feel free to delete the post. :/
Go to recovery (amon ra) and find "other" then you'll see "fix uid mismatches" or download titanium backup and hit menu ,then select market doctor and it should repair the links. If one doesn't work try the other. After you do one of the fixes download a random app and it should fix it.
This happens to me alot when restoring nandroids or playing with apps2sd.

I have Titanium Backup Pro but had not run market doctor before. When I ran it it didnt find any saved market links so it couldnt do anything. I'll get that setup now so it doesnt happen again but the above mentioned fix seems to work fine as well.

The fix in recovery will link all your apps back. I always works for me when the titanium doesn't work. I don't know if clockwork has "fix uid mismatch" but you'll find it in amon ra lol. Good luck
Hi,
my prob has started a few days ago..
After an App update my device has always done a reboot but only the fast boot from where the boot logo starts.
After device restarting the update hasnt installed and the App is no longer to find in "my apps". (49 out of about ~70 Apps )
Ok. ROM Manager and fix permissions .. (49Apps available ..)
Titanium Backup Market Doctor and fixed all Market Links .. (NONE app available! see screenshot)
Done a Nand-Backup but the same screen without any app nothing changed ..
Flashed a ROM update.. none apps
Settings -> Apps -> Market -> Delete Data.. none app..
reinstalled vendor.apk.. nothing changed
when i hit www.market.android.com in my Browser i can see all my downloaded apps but not in the Market?!
Now I'm perplexed.. probably anyone else got an idea?
I hope that I do not need to do a full wipe
Im on
CM7.2 RC0 from here http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/gigglebread/bravo/
s-off
Although it's against your hope, I recommend to do a FULL WIPE, reflash rom and restore apps. But backup all apps with Titanium Backup before (and maybe WiFi Access Points).
Have you tried installing some random app from the market? Simple install always solved missing apps issue for me.
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.
same **** after wipe and restoring apps...
dont know what to do..
@erklat yes i have tried it.
Try using old market (2.3.6):

After downloading, rename your current version to e.g. vending1.apk, move the download market to /system/app, rename it to vending.apk and set right permissions:
Check "read" for User, Group and Other, check "write" only for user and let execute completely unchecked. Now reboot and see what happens.
