Hello,
Here is my problem:
Sometimes I installed an apllication not from playstore but from web(manual apk).
Is there a way so the list of that applications which I download from web appear in MY APPS on the playstore so I could know if there any update for the applications??
As you know if we installed application in play store, it will appear in MY APPS that we will easier to know every time there is an update for the application.
U can use Titanium backup, long press on app, from menu select "attach to market".

I have installed my Desire a few times, because there are so many nice roms to try.
On the last reinstall I found a folder "app" on the App2sd partition with all the .apk files. After the rom upgrade I copied this folder "app" from the pc (ubuntu) back to the normal partition on the sd card. I thought that this was a easy way to reinstall all my applications in a few seconds.
Now the apps works. but when I go to the market with the tab downloads they are not mentioned. Also update notifications of these apps will not work. Is there a way to register my apps in the market/update software ?
Titanium backup has "market doctor" add-on which should update market links. Unfortunately AFAIR this option is only available in "donated" version.
Download AppBrain from the market and when installed select "Manage my Apps" then select "Sync with AppBrain" then if there are any updates select "Perform Install".
The program itself acts as an alternative to the market.
Thanks for the answers. This will help.

Thanks.
Is AppBrain (or any other tool) capable to relink apps to their Android Market source ?
excellent post!
I was wondering why some apps were not showing updates when there were. Angry Bird being an example. Also installed AppBrain the other day and was curious what the Sync options was showing.
Makes sense now ta

I use this too for a couple of random apps - but I also found if you re-download angry birds (it is available now) from the market place it will keep itself updated then
Of course, if you download from market ANY app, it will keep itself updated then...
What about if you install them from sd, as this topic refers to ?
I'm dealing with 200+ apks ...
Thnx
I just completed manually rooting my KF after having errors using the latest KFU.
I was able to droid market up and running, so my googleservicesframework apk must be good to go, but I dont have a gmail icon.
I can go into the droid market and "update" gmail, and then open it, works great... but when I hit the home button, there's no gmail icon from the apps list or on the carousel.
Curious thing is that if I install any other Google app, they install correctly, and an icon is placed in the apps list.
I have tried uninstalling gmail and using different googleserviceframework apk's. I have installed the gapps with the latest KFU and manually, neither one gives me the gmail icon to launch it.
So far the only way I can use the gmail app is to go through the droid market, search for it, then click open.
Have you gone into Settings -> Applications -> All Applications -> AppManager and click Clear Data? Also do the same for Launcher.
Nope, but I just gave it a shot and still no icon. I have ICS loaded, the icon shows up in ICS, though, before clearing the data.
I have a Kindle Fire, no root, with Go Launcher EX installed. I have most of the Google apps, such as the framework and gmail, but the Play Store force closes instantly when I open it, and 20110208124835-com.android.settings.apk will not install at all... It says that it's replacing a system app, asks if I want to continue, then says "application not installed."
I want the Swype app, but I have to go into settings and select it as an input method. But the Amazon settings app only allows Kindle Keyboard, I need access to the settings of a normal Android phone/tablet.
I'm using the APK Downloader Chrome Extension to get all of my apps, but the problem is that it goes through my cell phone's ID, so I can only download apks that are compatible with both my phone and tablet.. It'd be nice to have the Google Play Store.
Is there a way to get these two installed without rooting? I've looked around, but no forums explain my situation as far as I could tell.
No root no go.
In my installed apps [ Google Play : ALL APPS ] this Games & apps (by Sony Mobile Communications) appear as installed but actually I cannot find it anywhere. How can I remove it since I cannot find it anywhere, not even with root explorer or any other explorer tool.
Have you tried removing it with Titanium backup?

Yes, Even Titanium can't find that app. It's just not showing up.
SOLVED
When you see a pop up : This applications want to acces your google account, press DENY. Ofcours you also have the option to APROVE.
This is a workaround to fix the battery drain caused by the recent Updates Google is installing on our devices.
The main culpid for causing this battery drain are the new Play Services, which are getting autoupdated everytime you have a internet connection, but also the changes made to the PlayStore, Maps and Youtube.
To get rid of all those wakelocks caused by these apps and so almost all the time keeping your phone active, I came to a workaround which still allows you to use the Playstore and apps like Maps and Youtube without causing such a huge battery drain, even if Network Location is still keept enabled.
So what you need:
1) A modified Playstore which doesn´t update itself and the Google Play services. http://uploaded.net/file/n0qykeja
2) The older versions of Play Services, Maps and Youtube. https://www.dropbox.com/s/p7fsu00r3zhat0l/google-fix.zip
3) App Backup & Restore and Root Explorer.
First disable all internet connections like WiFi and Mobile Data.
Then go to Settings> Apps and search for Google Play Services, Maps and Youtube. There delete the cache and data for those apps and uninstall them. For the Playstore just delete cache and data.
Open Root Explorer and install the Installer for the modified Playstore you downloaded from the first link.
After you installed it, launch the installer and select the very first Playstore offered on top. This will patch your Core.jar and replace your Playstore with the modified version.
After you got your Playstore replaced you can uninstall this installer again or keep it installed if you whish to revert back one day.
In CM9 open Root Explorer and go to System/Apps and delete there the Market-Updater.apk. (In CM10 it´s not present)
Now copy the Apps from the secound link into your App Backup & Restore backup folder.
Open App Backup & Restore and restore the older Google Play Services, Maps and Youtube.
Reboot your device and accept all the services.
Enable your internet connection, Launch Playstore and disable there all the notifications and autoupdates.
Just in case recheck if the Play Services didn´t got updated again. In this case go again to settings>apps and repeat the step above to delete Play Services. Finally restore them once more with App Backup&Restore.
Now you can use Maps and Youtube like before but without all the wakelocks keeping your phone active.
Last but not least greenify apps like maps, youtube or for example facebook.
This is a temporaly fix as long Google doesn´t fix this battery drain issue again.
