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

Hi, Is there a way to re-link free apps to the market without having a TiBu backup w/ link (to use with the Market Doctor) and without having to reinstall every app that is missing the link?
Or even an app that will show me which ones aren't link and allow me to reinstall them from the market?
Thank you.

I think I read somewhere that when people had done a complete wipe on their phone, they then went to set it back up and a screen asked them if they wanted to use the Google backup and restore. Not sure where the info is stored, but you can go to menu - settings - privacy to see what i am talking about.

Try an app called "Root Tools", I saw in the market comments that it helped a few people restore their market links. A recent update took the entirely free app and made some options paid (without warning, and before this there wasn't a paid version) so I reverted. If that's now a paid feature let me know and I'll upload the old apk. I'm not a pirate and don't consider that pirating, but some may I guess.

AppBrain/Titanium Backup quick restore apps

I have been using my Evo for a while now and every time I upgrade my Roms I have to go through the entire proses in the backup apps.
1. The app asks you if you want to install.
2. The app shows you what privileges the downloaded app will be using.
3. Downloads the app
4. Asks if you want to open or done.
When I have 127 apps and at about 30 seconds an app, this takes forever. My question is, is there a way to do it faster? Like one click all apps downloaded.
Thanks
ditto my man
You have to buy the donate version of titaniumbackup (there is a link in the app that takes you to the page where you buy it). Once you do that, you can do 1 button restores. Just be aware that it might take a day or so to get you license key via email.
An army of pacifists can be defeated by one man with the will to fight.
also mybackup pro does the same thing as the donate version of titanium pro....its actually a little nicer in that there are a few more options as to what you can save
Hi,
I'm the developer of Titanium Backup. So expect some obvious bias
Honestly, I think the strength of MyBackup Pro is that it makes accurate backups of the phone data (sms, mms, contacts, etc) and can do that across any ROM versions.
But if you want to backup & restore your apps with their settings, or keep several versions of an app, or uninstall system apps - in short, everything that has to do with your apps - you should definitely go with Titanium Backup imho. Plus the free version is not a trial - it's unlimited.
For more info or comparisons, please make your own opinion by reading a couple reviews:

One more thing: Titanium Backup requires a rooted phone.
heh, i just paid for the donated version now, have almost 300 apps i need to quick install
hope the key comes quick :0

Market Syncronization

Hi all!
There's a way to sync market between phone and site?
The problem is that I have uninstalled some apps ( on device )but they continue to appear in "my apps" section ( on both device and market.android.com ).
This is frustrating cause after a full wipe, the market reinstall them automatically even if they were not installed before the wipe!
Thanks in advance for the answers
No one?
I believe they should auto sync. Maybe u need to refresh it. Go to remove app option, find the market app and select clear data. Do not select remove option. This clears the list of installed apps and searched words. When u go into market again it should refresh the list of installed apps.

Is there a chance that the apps that still appear in Market are ones you have purchased? Because paid apps stay there. You prolly realize this, but worth a shot. Also, you should consider using Appbrain app market, I thoroughly enjoy it.

[Q] Android market question

I've heard of several devices that are unable to access the android market. I was wondering if there is a way to simply have access to the APK files, essentially a market back door. I don't even know if this allowed because frankly, I don't understand how the market works. I'm focusing on the word, "open market".
Reason for the question: I may getting a Nook soon but I read that some of them can't access the market using honeycomb.
Thanks.
If it's a free app, that's fine. Many devs even make the apk available on their website. The market only serves as a convenient search engine and auto updater for free apps.
If it's a paid app, that's illegal and a violation of the forum rules - do not ask again. For paid apps, the market serves as a search engine, shopping cart / checkout, license validater, and auto updater.
In case you are asking about a paid app, i'll save you the effort... even if you did get your hands on the apk, most of them will fail to start or run b.c. the market will reject your phone when it tries to validate your copy of the app on app startup.
I thought I made it clear that I didn't know much about the market which is why I'm asking. I forgot that some apps are paid apps, simply an oversight. Your attempt to offer helpful advice was clouded by an unnecessary admonishment of my actions. I'm very well aware of the forum rules. Simply stated, you're making it sound like I'm trying to steal from developers, I'm not. I'm simply trying to find a way to get "free" apps that are listed as such on the market using a device that does not seem to have access to the market.
You could always grab the Amazon Appstore .apk and use that to search and download applications, too.

wow... that didn't even occur to me--thanks!
market enabler is a neat app too. It lets you fool the market into thinking you have a different phone.

[Q] Back up apps and messages withotut root?

I know for rooted users there are a ton of apps that do that. First, I have no Google Market access so apps need to be available via amazon or there means.
Google disabled my old account so I made a new one, however to use the knew one on my phone to access the market I have to factory reset my phone to clear the old account. I not worried about my text messages and my contacts have been exported to my SD card. Its really just the apps I don't want to have to remeber and re download.
Any suggestions or a way to cleartheold google without factory resetting?

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.
