I have an app that I would like to keep it from updating past the version I have. I've already used Titanium Backup to make a backup copy of it. However it keeps popping up up in the market demanding I update it.
What an I do to keep this from getting updated in the market?
Thanks
(i was gonna post this somewhere in Android General, but I feel safer posting it here since I do have a droid incredible)

Try backing it up with Astro file manager, then uninstall, then reinstall with Astro. It shouldnt show up no more in the market.
In Titanium Backup, long press the app in question and select "Detach from Market."
two good ideas. Let me see what I can get going here.

So being the impatient soul I am, right after I got permanent root, I decided to jump into Titanium Backup and deleted some of the bloatware. I was so impatient, that I totally forgot to backup the system apps I deleted to a backup folder on my SDcard, so now those apks are gone. My question is now, if an OTA becomes available, am I going to have problems again, just like with Paul's Goggles app?
If so, what do you suggest I do? I am guessing now that now root has been achieved, we can install those apps to the system just fine again. Can someone upload these apks for these system apps, so I just feel on the safe side and I have backups? I would greatly appreciate it...

Of course, if you don't see this as being a problem for the future, please tell me. It would make me feel a lot more secure about things. Thanks!
it shouldnt be a problem, you can re download those in the market
Goddamn it. Now I went to uninstall Email.apk to replace it with an old one that doesn't require remote security, but it keeps giving me an "Application not installed" error, even with the backup of the original.
How do I get it to install?!

You don't install system apps, you just move then into /system/app/
its likely if an OTA becomes available a dev will mod it to be flashable to rooted and modified /system/ devices

Okay, I feel much better now. Time to play around with this thing! So excited!
Yea if an ota comes out, it will be modded to update the system and skip files not found, if there is a patch.
So your good. I'm just waiting for custom recovery with nandbackup before I start messing n the system. I just hate setting up the phone all over after
And if all else fails you can fastboot flash system.img from the orig pc10img. Wiping all your data and formating ur system. Then updating to ota.

Just use Titanium Backup to uninstall any apps you want. Long click on the app, and an uninstall option will be there.

I tried on my own and after running it on new rom I get a "Parse error" type of message.
First I nandroid backup/swipe.
Then install the new rom(SPrint lovers 3.7)
Then I went right to the marketplace and downloaded TB again.
It tells me to go to settings/applications and check the install "Unknown apps install" button. so I do that.
Then I open TB again and go to batch, then I selected the restore all apps options and it gives me a error.
I read somewhere it says you have to install them one by one?
I read somewhere something about you have to mount a few programs or something?
I know I was able to do then in batch but try one by one it might work.

I see, well can you list the steps you would take to RESTORE the saved apps because I don't know if I did it the correct way or just forgot to install a side app.
well i figured it out from the link posted above,thanks. so i'll give it one more try.
I would recommend on buying the full version. Make sure you tap on PROBLEMS and then download BusyBox. Afterwards you can hit MENU-BATCH and BACKUP USER APPS. I'd recommend not messing with any of the other options. If you flash different ROM's a lot it's better to just backup the apps ONLY.
If you were to do for example BACKUP USER APPS and SYSTEM DATA that could potentially bring a whole bunch of errors on your new ROM's and tons of Force Closes.
What I prefer to do is to manually download all my apps between ROM swaps and then using Titanium Backup to restore the data. An example of what I'm talking about is if you have a game that you regularly play, you'd want to restore your data so you don't have to go through the game again. Hope that's simple enough to understand.
You said when you try to download it from the market it says check install unknown applications? Its not suppose to do that... You must have downloaded it and tried installing through a app like astro. If so download another version and try.

Swyped from Eva running Myn's RLS4!
Since at first we will not have access to the Market directly I was thinking that the best way to load aps would be with Titanium Backup. I have an Android phone now (HD2) that keeps the aps I use updated. By using z4root v1.3 or something like it to "root" I could just use my backup from the phone to keep my Adam aps up to date as well as to load them in the first place.
Any thoughts/discussion on this method or other ideas on how best/easiest to do it?
I plan on using dropbox and save all my apks there so I can access them from my Adam and install on the fly
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Dropbox is an excellant way of handling it.
I plan to use dropbox to get my Titanium Pro and then use the Titanium batch mode to load the aps so I don't have to do them one at a time. I will have to see if I run into over write problems. Want to start with an initial Titanium full BU anyway on the Adam.
I will probably use mostly the same aps on my phone and Adam. The phone stays updated automatically from the market and I do frequent back-ups using the Titanium batch mode for new and updated aps. If I then did an ap restore on Adam they would all be current and updated as well. This method should keep me current until the Honeycomb market opens.
AppBrain Market Sync
AppBrain Market Sync will not work in this case because the device needs access to the Market for AppBrain to work. Just FYI. AppBrain is really a Market filter and search engine not an app storage depot.
Update: Other tabs have AppBrain working fine so I am sure the Adam will have it working as well.

I'm sure someone will get the stock Google Apps and Google Market running on the Adam in no time...
--edit--
Check out rothnic's thread called Eden Plus for an update.zip package for rooted access and stock Google Apps added.
First and foremost before we do any playing around, even after root, we should make sure full NAND is working. Having a NAND backup that is fully functional is very important. On camera Rohan seems fine with us tinkering around, but when it comes time for his company to pay out warranty costs they will no doubt speak out against rooting.

when i had my g-tablet i was able to do that with titanium. as long as titanium is granted super user permissions it should restore all our apps fine. ideally this is what i'd like to do.
Isn't it possible to just pull the apps from your phone by using ADB?
I know I where able to do this a long time ago, but I forgot how to do it, and I can't seem to find any info on it anymore.
As that would be easier than trying to get titanium backup working.
Yes it is
but Titanium Backup and Drop box are both free so why not use them? Then you can continue to use them to make BUps on your Adam.
Yea, i know there both free, but to use dropbox whit Titaniumbackup, you need the paid version, so it's not completely free
Correct
I don't use dropbox through Titanium. I use both for different purposes. It would be to slow to use dropbox to transfere all of those files.
I use dropbox to transfer the occasional single file and do any printing chores.
I use Titanium to backup my programs. Then I use the Nike network* to move the mass files between devices.
* The Nike network or tennis shoe network is an old computer term for using physical media to transfer files between computers. You use your feet to move from one to the other. I first did this on my IBM 5110 in 1979. The 5110 was an early IBM portable computer that had 8" floppy drives and a whopping 64k of memory. Portable in those days meant any computer smaller than a room.

Ah, thats the rub! I was going to use this method too until someone reminded me of this.
Awaiting my Adam. I'm hoping My backupPro does the trick for me.
It won't get flash or other pre-installed programs (HTC Incredible) so I'm sure hoping someone is going to put up a thread for "must have" apk's like Flash so we can get to them easily.

Looks like Rothnic has an update.zip package with root access and Google Apps added.
All Adams are shipped with root privilege access. Just need market and SuperUser app installed, access given to TB, install Busybox from TB, and then it should be good to go.
If someone wants to help speed up this process join ##adamroot on freenode.net and help the devs. They are waiting for someone with an Adam to spend about an hour or less working through the kinks.
Or you can send me ur Adam and I'll help get things working
If you have not rooted your adam you can extract and install your titanium backup files with astro. Fyi

A complete newbie question as the Adam will be the first android device I'll own -
Can you back up your paid apps with dropbox / titanium or are they activated by username online?
Yes you can back them up, but you have to be rooted first.

Once you've paid for and app you can always download it again for free from the market (as long as you use the same google account).
If you definitely want to back up the apk, than you use titanium backup or also ES File. Not sure whether you actually need root to do that though.

I recently started experimenting with newer gingerbread ROMS, which seem to work fine, but I can't see any of my previously purchased / downloaded apps in the market!
This is a big problem for me... how do I get to my old apps??
I'm sure I'm logged in with the right user account, and this happens on every single ROM out there.
What's the solution here?!? I need the apps I bought back!
help
come on guys, I need some help here.. I already tried installing 6 different roms,
Kings, Myn, Fresh, SNS and more... none of them show me my apps!
How can I get all my paid apps back??
Not sure but you should of used titanium backup.
relayed from my CM7 powered Mytouch 4g! Go Steelers!!
Yes, hindsight is always 20/20.. how about trusting Google to remember which apps I bought?
I've changed roms numerous times and the list of purchased apps are always present when I initiate the Market app. Have you actually signed in with your Google credentials? Have you made a nandroid backup of a previous setup? If so, restore the backup and your apps should be restored, at least the ones that were backed up. If you haven't, then a lesson has been learneand I mean that respectfully. The next time you get your EVO setup how you want, the first thing you should do is go into recovery and create a nandroid backup and the second thing you should do is maneuver to the /data/app/ folder and copy all of your 3rd party .apk files and place them on a folder on your computer or external drive. Update the .apk files accordingly.

This isn't a Q/A as such more of a discussion on a subject im sure alot of us could find helpful - and i'm certainly willing to learn :fingers-crossed:
After flashing a new Rom i guess most of us use Titanium Back-Up to replace our apps on our phones pretty quickly but is there a faster method than the technique i use?
My Way; After flashing a new Rom your phone doesnt realise it has Titanuim Back-Up installed and even if the new Rom comes with a file explorer im guessing it cant detect TB as its backed up somewhere inaccesible......
So usually i;
Sign into my google account,
Goto the play store,
Download TB and the Pro key (bought previously)
Open TB and reinstall all my apps......
Is that the fastest way or is there another shortcut i might have missed?
you can create a flashable zip in titanium but it doesn't always seem to remember your key

I didnt know that! i guess if its a bit tempermental then its best for now to stick with the tried and trusted method.
On the side regarding TB - after flashing CM10 and folllowing proper procedures i usually have a pop up in TB that ive never seen before....
I download TB and the Pro key from the Play Store after flashing and on opening TB the first time it says something like 'your phones ID has been changed and this can impact downloading things from the play store' then it gives me a few options and i usually choose to restore my devices old ID.......
Does this sound familiar to anyone?!! :fingers-crossed:
