Stock to CM11 - How do I play my purchased Kindle apps? - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have updated from stock OS on my kindle to CM11. I love the change but how do I play my backed up Kindle apps? The same apps exist on the Play store but when I restore from Titanium backup it restores it as a seperate app. It won't let me install the app from the play store and then restore my data using titanium. Titanium restores the backed up app and data but they won't play because they say I'm not signed in to Amazon.
Have I lost all my savegame and app data? Don't want to have to go back to stock rom.

How do I get the Market to recognize all installed Apps?

I decided to go back to stock after trying some of the custom ROMs here. I backed up all my apps using ASTRO. After flashing back to stock and rooting, I restored the apps but they are not showing up on the downloaded apps in the Market. Is there a way to fix this?
It will remember your apps from the gmail account you used when downloading them.

No, what he's saying ia that the market won't recognize that those apps are installed on the device and won't notify you of updates, etc.
If you're rooted, you can use titanium backup. Its free and it will update the market place to show the apps installed.

Thanks. The 'Market Doctor' the fix from Titanium, requires a paid version.

The donate version of Titanium Backup is easily worth 5x the cost.

Anyone know how to install Google talk app?

Ive tried a few versions but always get application not installed.
Stock/root w/twrp2 working market and other Google apps.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
Running into the same problem, are there any other apps that use Gtalk and possibly install?
Gtalk always needs to be moved into the system/app folder using a file program such as Root Explorer, then the permissions need to be set, then you reboot and voila.
In this case, there might be an even easier way: have you checked the market to see if Talk 1.3 installer is availablle for your device? If so, download that and let it do the work
Hope this helps ya.
Note: both methods require root.

oh damn, ok. are you also running rooted stock? maybe Gtalk isn't compatible with the stock framework and you'd have to run a custom ROM, like CM7?

Yep, rooted stock. Got Google Currents and Voice installed, but Talk is being stubborn.
Hmm. I used the Kindle fire Utility to install google apps. It installed almost everything under the sun except google talk. I couldn't find an apk so I grabbed the one from my droid3. I literally dumped it in the download folder, went to it with ES file explorer and hit install and it worked perfectly. I didnt have to move a thing. That was using titanium backup to make the apk on my phone. I take it you didnt install your other google apps with KFU?

Did mine manually, and I can't really remember why, though I did use KFU to install TWRP.
Used the Titanium Backup method, and it worked like a charm. Great success!
Actually, a little weirdness here, it doesn't show up on the app drawer at all. Have to launch using Titanium... surely there's aan easy fix.

On your phone, make a backup of Talk using Titanium Backup. Long press the backup and upload to Dropbox. DL the backup with your KF, and "restore" it using Titanium Backup on your KF.

I made a backup with Tb on my phone. Then I plugged it in to my computer and searched the drive for .apk files. Found the Google talk apk and copied it to my computer then the fire. Browsed to it on the fire with es file explorer and tapped it. Prompted me to install and that was it.

Could you post the apk? I keep getting parsing error.
And are you using cm7 or stock rooted?

[Q] About Google Play

Let's say for example, that in the future I'll upgrade to the Android 4.0. As far as I know all my info and apps will be lost (I could backup them but I am too lazy). But, will the apps I downloaded remain in my Google account so I can see on the Google Play what apps should I download again?

Only if you paid for them does it really keep track (if you go from your computer you can access the log of apps downloaded and add 'em that way. Or titanium backup pro has one click batch backup/restore...

Yep install the latest TTBackup Pro and backup the apps along with their data and cache

Data on your internal memory not on your SD card will be wipe out if you upgrade your stock ROM. I just flashed a custom ROM yesterday and my apps installed on my SD card are still there, but of course I also performed a nandroid backup first and titanium backup as well. All the apps I got from Play Store (aka android market) are still showing when you click "My Android Apps" link.
Thanks for the info guys.

[Q] How to Reinstall all apps after full wipe?

I am doing full wipe almost every week because of new developments on Sandvold´s ICS. Is it possible to quickly reinstall all apps and widgets after a full wipe? How?
Titanium backup from market or my backup root what i use because u can just save the app without all the data. Just backup all apps then put the backup file on ur computer, then once u have flashed rom update just download the app again off market then send ur backup file back to ur phone(usb) then using the app to restore apps
Sent from my HTC Desire
For me (using BCM ICS) it works great with the google backup. Just choose to backup settings like apps, Wifi passwords etc via Google. When I enter my google password the first time using the new rom, it asks if it should restore my settings. It then downloads all of my apps directly from the play store. However for most apps it doesn't include your app data, but that's OK for me.

App data? You don't have to restore it. It asks you if you want to.

I have installed Titanium (free version), and it says:
(...)
Hypershell (fast): NO (only for donators)
Apps installation fast/auto: No (Hypershell required)
(...)​
I guess Titanium only does the full backup, with fast apps installation if I donate, right?

The free version of Titanium also restores all your apps with data but you have to confirm each app to be restored. This can be somewhat annoying if you have lots of apps to restore.

But I cant find "Google Backup" on play store. What is the name of the app?
PS: Ive already installed Titanium, but I also wanted to know about "Google Backup"
It's not on Play store. It is found under settings in aosp and >= Sense 2.1 roms. It remembers apps list and starts downloading them after you flash a new rom. I hate this feature.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk 2
Right, it's nothing you need to install. It should be at Settings -> Backup & reset -> "Back up my data".
It can be a bit annoying, especially if your device immediately starts to download tons of data before connecting to wifi, eating up your mobile data limit. (However this backup includes wifi passwords, too). So if you don't have unlimited data, just ensure your device connects to wifi after restoring your google account.
Re:
From what my friend told it should work with the Play Store.
it doesn't seem to be possible with all roms though? Only once my past apps have installed automatically...

google play problems

I tried flashing a rom and ended up resetting my phone, yet i retained all my messages. So I didn't lose all my numbers or anything. I can make and recieve phonecalls and text just fine. It says i have 4g and i dont have trouble accessing the network for internet (with or without wifi) . I have all my important apps and contacts saved onto titan backup but i cant access google play store to download it. "unfortunately google play store has stopped"
Google play movies and music wont open, yet i can open samsung apps. And when I try my google app it gives me a network error
Any advice on what I can do?
Try wiping days for the play store, play store services and Google framework. Then reboot.

you rebooted after? its google services framework
so did the rom you were attempting to flash actually install?
Did you happen to flash a Verizon ported rom? I.e. synergy, axis, hyperdrive ?
Or was this a custom ROM like cyanogenmod or aokp ?

also, go to settings > apps > all and scroll down to see if, google download manager is disabled. If it is, select and enable it, then try play store again
it was paranoid android, that didnt work so i tried to restore my backup. But it said MD5 mismatch or something and i ended up with a reset phone.

and i'm assuming since the flash didnt work that you're on stock now? hmmm
Sounds like a Gapps problem. If you're on something other than stock, go to that ROMs thread download and reflash Gapps for your ROM.
