[Q] Android Market - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
So everytime I install Nightlies the Android Market restore all my apps (Or most of them)
I personally would rather use TB. And Most of the time the Market re-installs apps i deleted via the market! It's getting really annoying!
Is there any way of stopping it from DL'in or at least the Apps i dont want?
Thanks!

Every time you're at the startup wizard, uncheck the "Backup User Data" or whatever it's called, and it won't download your apps when you sign into your Google account.

Perfect! Thanks!

Better idea: You don't have to wipe data between flashing nightlies. Only your cache and dalvik-cache need to be wiped.

Oh? Haha.wow I feel dumb...

How do I get Titanium Backup to restore my Market links?

Hi,
I was just playing with a new rom & when i was restoring my apps, I noticed that when I went to the market, they were not showing up under downloads.
I am using CM 6.1 & am restoring from a CM 6.1 rom. I was messing with theme animations & now my market links are gone.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rich
if you have premium, look for market doctor somewhare in the app. if using free, no solution except pay 4 bucks to a great dev who deserves it.
If you clear data and cache of Android Market and force stop, it will reload the list of installed applications next time it starts.
You do this "manage applications"
This didn't work for me

[Q] Disable auto-install apps

Hi there,
I already searched about this but i cant really find anything useful to me.
The problem is: I have a HTC Desire and everytime I change rom from new sense he restore my old apps from the old roms.... How can i stop that auto installation? Its so annoying.
Best Regards!

U mean google's automatic backup?
Settings>Privacy>Backup Settings
Either the previous post or are you using an EXT partition for data2sd? If so, you will have to format that partition in between flashing roms.
If you flash new roms, you should do a full wipe. All installed should be deleted with this action.

Yes, I am talking about google's automatic backup...

And "Automatic Restore" disabled solves this?
Are these google apps or apps you installed yourself which reinstall themselves?

What was told: Do a full wipe before flashing a rom. With this action the /data partition and ext partition (and some other partitions, but these two are the were apps will be installed) will be formatted. Now apps should not install "themselves". A solution for now:
Manually uninstall the apps which reinstalled themselves.
And you can turn google's automatic backup off . You get the google contacts from syncing with google account (settings>accounts & sync). I also turned off this automatic backup, sync on the described way and i have all my google contacts on my phone. Furthermore, i (would) backup myself with titanium backup + nandroid + sms backup & restore.

I always do full wipes when I install roms... I think that the problem is that sense or something saves downloaded apps and it downloads again the apps.

Your phone backs up the following types of data and settings whenever there are new additions or changes:
- Text and multimedia messages
- Settings in the Messages application
- Web bookmarks
- Keyboard dictionary
- Settings in your phone that fall under these categories:
Wireless & networks
Sound & display
Location
Applications
Date & time
Language & keyboard - only the Locale setting
I really dont understand how dont u all have this problem.. even the background desktop picture is there after another rom install >_>
still searchin more ideas :\
Now i am finished with my knowledge. Sorry. It sounds so strange that apps reinstall themselves.
sad thanks by the way
any1 with an idea about this?
bump help
The only way I have found is as soon as you've gone through the setup process on initial boot with a new ROM, rush to Settings > Applications, then terminate Market application and clear its data. It stops it autodownloading the apps again.
Then I install what i want using Titanium Backup, and then I run Market. It does a "first start" user agreement thing and you're all back to normal, without the market redownloading apps you downloaded under previous ROMs.
Not a brilliant solution but better than nothing.

Whenever I change Rom I don't add my Google account in the initial setup. Before u do that, go settings , privacy, backup/restore. The auto restore option is ticked but greyed out so u cant select it. Tick auto backup box, de select auto restore, and deselect auto backup again. Now it should'nt restore anything...

[Q] Incredible: Sync error and Google Services framework force close with CM7

All of a sudden a couple days ago, Gmail on my rooted Incredible (running CM 7.1 and incredikernel) began acting sluggish, syncing poorly, and force closing. Soon thereafter I got a message reading Google Services Framework was not responding, followed by FCs of pretty much every app I tried to open: maps, market, voice, etc.
It happened once before due to an issue with Google Music sync. Turning that off, waiting a day or two, and resuming sync did the trick. This time I'm seeing sync errors with Gmail (on each of the 2 accounts I have set up), Contacts, and Music. All at different times. And nothing seems to solve the problem
I've tried seemingly everything to no avail.
Thus far I've: wiped Dalvik cache, wiped cache, rolled back to an old Nandroid backup, reinstalled CM 7.1, reinstalled GApps, reinstalled GMail app from the market, wiped all data and cache from Gmail/Google Services/Contacts/Contacts Storage/Calendar/Calendar Storage, and ultimately did a full factory reset through Recovery.
After reinstalling CM 7.1 + GApps last night, things seemed to be OK, but I'm back to everything FC'ing today. If I have sync turned off, I can use the phone. But even then, my wifi/radio icons in the status bar are permanently white.
Any ideas? I don't seem to have any corrupt contacts. And setting up a one-time sync of each Gmail account (including contacts and calendar) didn't seem to be any harm. Only thing I can think is if my Titanium back up had something corrupt in it. I did restore that (apps only, no system data) after factory reset.
Thanks in advance for any help
Are other apps syncing correctly? I'd try a fresh start WITHOUT restoring anything through titanium.
Thank you.
Is it possible to determine which files backed up through Titanium might be causing the issue (or otherwise try to prevent against this down the road)? Alternately, after a full wipe/restore through Nandroid, is it possible to restore individual apps from a batch Titanium back up?
I know it seems to be specific to Incredibles that the typical wipe of calendar/contacts/gmail doesn't get rid of Google Services Framework FCs... so hoping to be sure all bases are covered.
Thanks again!
Yes, you "can" restore apps in titanium but have to be careful. It seems like most people don't have problems restoring just apps. Some are even OK with app+app data. Its NOT recommended to restore system data, especially if you're going from sense to AOSP or vice versa. Personally, I redownload my apps fresh from the market, using the automated Google restore or the web market, which you can download apps straight to your phone from. I've never run into any problems doing it this way.
Sounds like my GFs problem too, except the FC'ing happens once and a while and I have to format the whole phone to fix it.
My Incredible with CM7 is having the same problems
I was using an older CM7 nightly which had been stable for several months.
Out of the blue, all my google apps start crashing, as well as the framework.
Force closes EVERYWHERE.
I loaded the latest nightly, and rebooted. Same problem.
Had some trouble with Titanium Backup destroying the functionality of my home button along the way... so I started from scratch (as much as possible):
Wiped the Delvik Cache, Formatted the Cache, Wiped the Data.
Installed newest CM7 and gapps from cyanogenmod.
Ran "Fix Permissions".
Reverted back to the included ADW.Launcher instead of the paid version I previously had.
Manually installed a skeleton set of apps, and used titanium backup only to restore data on a handful of apps that really needed it.
It was stable for a day, then the same force close issues with all my google apps and the google framework.
Rebooting the phone seems to help temporarily, but I hate having to reboot my phone twice a day.
I've been updating to new nightlies every day now, hoping that one of them will finally fix this problem.
Do I need to flash a new radio, perhaps?
What could I be missing?
When you do a fresh install, wipe system and boot as well data/factory reset. Also, try downloading and installing apps from market, not titanium (restore nothing from titanium). Your radio should be a 2.15 series, but also shouldn't cause this.
Found this thread looking for my answer and found a solution somewhere else, just as an FYI here:
The strange thing is, I'm NOT out of space. My SD card and internal memory have plenty of room. Then I remembered: The Incredible only has about 300 MB of application storage partitioned. Cyanogen seems to work around this problem, EXCEPT for apps from the Marketplace. They will still say there is not enough space. Other install sources (raw apk, amazon, etc), work just fine.
I remembered that I installed Peggle from Amazon yesterday, which was an 80 MB download. I also remembered I couldn't re-install Angry Birds that day because the Market said I was out of space.
So! I uninstalled Peggle and a couple more large apps I don't need, turned all my syncing back on, no DB I/O errors in LogCat, no force closes, no nothing!
So here's my diagnosis:
-HTC Incredible only partitions ~300 MB for applications+data
-Cyanogen lets users install MORE than 300 MB of applications+data
-Android services (such as market and sync) don't understand Cyanogen is doing
-Android services fail gracefully (like market), or not so gracefully (like Sync) when you are out of 'storage'.
-Making sure you have some "free" space in your /data/data/ folder (I have about 30 MB) causes these force closes to stop.

[Q] LegendaryROM, Recovered Apps not showing

((MOVED TO ITS OWN THREAD))
Hey, Guys:
Okay, first...
Samsung Epic
Legendary ROM EI22 4.01 (rooted, obviously)
Market 3.3.11
MyBackupPro 3.0.1
I backed up with the latest MyBackupPro prior to upgrading to the LegendaryROM (on 21 Nov, so it's been more than long-enough for everything to update.)
When I Restored, my apps all loaded, but only about half of the Paid Apps show on the Market as Installed...the rest show as mine, but Not Installed; and *none* of my Free apps show on my Market list at all.
If I go *to* an App in the Market (that I already have), they all show as Installed already...but there is no option (or button) to Uninstall them.
Now, comes the fun part:
Yes, I know the normal way to fix this problem is to delete the Cache and/or Data for Market and Google Services Framework; and allow the Market to repopulate the info.
However, there is *NO* Cache or Data for Market, *or* for Google Services Framework. I've checked with three different utilities...they all say 0.00Bytes; and the CLEAR buttons are greyed out in the Manage Applications section.
Force Stop does not good, either.
In addition, I have installed two other (new) Apps from the Market & rebooted...and nothing has changed.
*PLEASE* don't tell me the only way to fix this is to rip out sixty apps Manually (with Root Explorer, or ES), and re-install them from the Market. (I already wrote RerWare (the MBUPro folks)...and that was their only suggestion.)
This may sound stupid, but have you tried *updating a paid app* through the market? Look at Titanium Backup's website, the author has a lot of information regarding similar situations to yours. Good luck!
There is no option to Update *or* Uninstall...only "Open" from the Market.
Are you suggesting Manually uninstalling an App...and then re-installing?...suppose I can try that...
*EDIT*
Tried that....and *that* app now shows as Installed...but no changes otherwise.
Have you tried restoring Market data from MyBackup? Or is system data not backed up? I use Titanium Backup. It backs up all system data and you can clear data with it on system apps that are "greyed" out in settings. I just restore my market data with that and it is all there.
Restoring Market is not an option in MyBackup...but there *was* a ClearCache option there...that apparently worked, even though the main Applications one didn't! All batter....thanks for the thoughts, everyone!
Titanium backup has an option to break or restore market links when you long click on an app. You can tell if each app has a working market link by the icon on the far right. A yellow smiley means no link, a yellow smiley with a blue "M" on top means it has a link to the market.

How to prevent automatic Google Play Store apps Download with new Rom

Hi,
how can i prevent, that Google Play Downloads all my 200 Apps in my clean new Rom installation...
i have all the time speed issues,
and now i wanna tray, only install needed apps...
but every time i install clean rom,
add my google account, and go into Playstore, the Download starts...
You should have put this under Q&A
after setup google account, I turn off wifi, data to prevent auto download applications form play store and using titanium backup to restore my applications
but this is no Solution...
i also use Titanium Backup,
if i restore 15 apps...
and than i visit the first time Google Play Store,
the other 185 apps starts to downoad...
is there a setting, in Titanium Backup, to prevent Playstore to start the downloads...
Maybe change any ID, that google Play store means, i have an new Mobile
Just deselect the "Restore" option in the "Backup and Restore" page of the Welcome Wizard.
I think that deselecting the Restore won't get you anywhere...
What I've found is that the phone automatically downloads different apps for the sense ROMs and different for non-sense. Since sense has different storage locations than other ROMs I'm sure that data telling the playstore what to download is on the phone and I it should be on the SD card since it's still there after a full wipe. Now all we have to do is find the directory where that data is stored and delete it before we flash a new ROM.
A ROM dev would surely know where this directory is, but I'll try to find it...
If someone knows, do tell us
Play Store downloads the same apps for any ROM, sense or not. There's no difference. And the downloaded apps are stored in the same directory in all Android ROMs which is /data/app. Just not selecting the 'restore from this Google account' option during initial should be enough. Even if Play Store setup starts downloading apps, force stop it and then put back all your apps using Titanium Backup or something like that.

Also there is a option in Titanium backup to detach user & system apps from the Market. I think that after you force stop the market you should do this and solve your problem
Usually when that happens to me, I go to the My Apps page in the market and just press the Stop All button.
