Hey guys!
I'm getting ready to purchase the GN very soon now have a quick question for you..
I really like to start fresh, and was wondering if it's possible to cancel the installation of all of my apps which I previously installed.
It's funny there isn't a "remove app" option in Google play.. I think it would be very useful.. after all no one want's apps from 2 years ago installed again.. that's when I had my HD2....

well, when i first powered my gnex, only the aps that were actually installed on my old crappy LG Dual were downloaded and installed, not the tons of app i've tried (specially in my firs android times)
hope this will help dude
Oh... I get it.. it won't install apps which I've previously deleted, that's better.. I seem to remember this also when first registering my (stolen) sensation..
well, I guess I'll just have to delete them all after they'll re-install I like a fresh start (although the auto installation feature is something I value Google for having).
And tnx for the reply mate

you should also be able to manually stop the download, from inside the market app
glad it helped mate!

It's actually a pretty good question.I've run quite a few different roms in the last month or so and even though I back everything up,the Market seems to lose apps that I've purchased from time to time.Would be nice to know if there's a way to retrieve them online or if we just need to keep buying them over and over.

Yes seriously. You answer was anything but. I want to where they are stored. Hitting the downloads tab shows a list of them, it doesn't show WHERE.
Download Astro File Browser and use the built-in search feature. Make sure it is scanning the whole system and not just your SD card.
This should tell you where they are downloaded and stored.
This question is highly ambiguous. You may want to refine.
I think he means, if you wipe and install a new ROM, the first time you go into the market, it will remember the apps you DID have installed.
Where is that stored?

Exactly. This is what is elusive. Maybe I'm completely wrong and they are stored on SkyNet I mean Google.
I am pretty sure they are attached to your google account. So they are stored on skynet, in some dark dungeon of servers they have 1000 feet under ground
Actually, I think this is a two part deal. The apps you have purchased are associated with your google account. Free apps and trials have a local market link associated with them. This link can become corrupted and titanium backup has the capability to restore those links. Running a logcat while executing the restore market links process may point you in the right direction.
.....
Frank...
They are definitely associated with your google account. My market kept telling me I had a **** load if apps on my phone...no mater how many times I wiped, they still showed as installed on my phone. I created a new google account and bam..fixed the issue when I signed in with the new account. Its the weirdest thing.

indeed. this seems not only a evo specific "issue". a friend has a hero and was complaining how to uninstall apps since there is a sprint tab in her market. i told her to press menu and then to downloads since she isnt a geek.
i first noticed this tonight.. weird.

This is already being discussed in the GENERAL section.
Im curious to know if I can stop the market itself from updating
I am running konis elite series 2 and it has a nice transparent market...however after I agree to terms it will log in and begin app update...I stop all updates of apps .. however after i close out...it seems the market itself updates and sets it back to standars white and green app....is there anything I can do to stop this
only way would be to turn off your data connection, sry bud
Find market in manage apps, uninstall update, then use titanium backup to freeze market updater. Cheers.

No need to buy titanium pro.I found another app called AntTek app manager which allows us to perform the same function which is freeze apps.Most apps which have freeze function are paid so i thought i will tell u about this one.
I've been having trouble with Android Market today. I can communicate with the market just fine, but nothing downloads. It either doesn't start or gets stuck a "Starting Download." Is anyone else seeing this?
I'm not having any problems installing from Amazon's App store. I even installed the Plant's Vs. Zombies freebie this morning, even though it didn't work (didn't expect it too).

Did you try clearing the Market's cache? It can be finnicky - not sure if it's our version of the Market, our build, or what's up...

Uhm... I have no clue what that is. Perhaps try clearing out the app data the 'usual' way?

I don't really know what the 'usual' way to clear the market cache is. It's not in the list of apps you can clear under Manage Applications. I'm a newbie at this, so what I don't know about Android is a lot bigger than what I do.
How do you clear the cache for the market? I couldn't see any way to do it except using an app like Cache Clean.

Just like you'd clear any other application's cache/data - in Manage Applications under Settings -> Applications...
Notice the tabs at the top. If you only stay in the 'Downloaded' tab, you'll obviously never see the Market as that wasn't downloaded...

Well, yeah "obvious" when you know what you're doing. Sorry if I seem like a dim bulb. I really am trying to learn. Unfortunately clearing the cache that way didn't help either.

Hrm. I hate to use this as a troubleshooting step, but have you tried a new data.img?
You can try renaming the old one if you want to be able to revert to it...
There's a fix_permissions script that is supposed to circumvent the need for a new data.img, not sure if it'll help you in this case or not.
I went back to an earlier copy of data.img and the market worked. So, after spending hours goggling and trying every crazy, random thing people claimed worked, I ended up redoing my phone. I copied everything off the SD card, formatted it, and installed a fresh copy of FRX06. The market works again.
I got wireless working, installed some essential files, and backed up everything to my desktop. I'll back it up every couple of days for a while so if the market goes South again, I'll have a quick fallback.
Thanks for all your help.
glad you have it working
Just a question, did u try and use Update All button in marketplace? Usually that always bugs out the downloader and causes them to get "stuck". Just Cancel all downloads and do manually one by one imo

I might have. But I did just what you said. I cancelled all of them and retried them one at a time, and did it over and over again many times after trying different "this works" ideas.
I had this same issue and am still having it.
I'll give this a try as well... started a few days ago when my zeam FC looped on me and I had to reinstall Froyo since I had no way of reverting to another launcher.
Thanks!
The only thing that worked for me was completely reloading the FRX06 build from scratch.
I've seen various people reporting this issue lately.

I have tried an alternative market, SAM 4.1 - SlideME Application Manager http://slideme.org and this is working perfectly. The only thing is that this market has less applications en is missing specific applications which I want to use.
Is there anybody who has got any sugestions?
Please see my signature for the build, kernel, gapps, etc. which I am using.

I'm also having this problem. I guess I'll have to delete the data.img, though, I think I'll wait until frx07 is out.
My Market downloads started working after restoring the Market app from a backup.

can you provide info on how to do this please?
most likely he uses titanium backup (which i believe everyone does, or should).
It can saves previous versions of all app's and you can easily reinstall them to old version.
I've been reading a lot about market problems lately and i think its due to their end mostly, not ours since there are so many with issues. I hope it just "works" again soon =)
I do use Titanium backup and bought the pro version a while back to support the developer. For me, it is one of those "must have" programs, particular with the constantly changing state of xdandroid development going on here.
Hey guys,
So I have flashed many roms between my two phones and have never had this issue before. I recently flashed Virtuous Unity on my Inc2 and recovered all of my apps with Titanium Backup. Now usually after installing an app or 2 all of my restored apps appear under 'My apps" in the market, but not this time. Only about 10 of them are there. If I search for an app I have installed it says 'Installed, but still wont show up under my apps.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Clear the cache on the market and restart the phone. I have this problem all the time and eventually all my apps will show up in the market.
Are these paid apps? I usually only see my paid apps in your situation, rarely all of them. Have you looked at the Market website? It does a pretty good job of listing every app you've ever installed.

So Idk if it's just me who noticed, but in Google play on your phone with the JB update (where I first noticed), under all apps you may NOW remove those old annoying un installed apps from your Google account! I have about 300 of those annoying old apps I made a mistake of downloading. No longer shall they clutter my account! =D
Adding to op
Thx, great, same here, fourth/fifth device and took forever to load favorite apps on new Galaxy. May take awhile, but getting rid of apps that sucked from the get go will be worth it. Great rainy day project!

Correct. This feature has nothing to do with JB and everything to do with the Google Play Store app update that came out two weeks ago now.
Lol alright, all I stated was I first noticed it on jb =p
