manage applications

MManage applications, from settings keeps FC on me...
Any ideas on how to fix other than deleting all apps via adb

I uninstall my apps via aTrackDog. There are many other apps that offer that functionality.

Cheers...will check that out.

You need to find the app that is causing it and uninstall it in market, did you install Locale?

how can I know which app did this without uninstalling all then reinstalling to find the cause? Not very efficient.
Yes I bought locale.

What he said...retrace your steps in the Market App and one by one uninstall the most recent apps until you find the culprit.

Local has been known to cause this. Uninstall it, and also any plug-ins it installed and then check your app manager.

I've got the same problem. Also installed locale.
For now I cant be bothered to uninstall. But I can access Manage Applications via Task Manager (com.futonredemption.taskmanager).
Menu > More > Manage Applications
But if you find the culprit I'd be interested to know.

It prolly is locale + meeting plug-in
But since the phone is working well, and I can manage apps through app brain, I will not take any further action.

I have the same problem and have locale installed.
Slightly annoying - hopefully they will fix it.

You know what. I realized I have locale calendar plug in installed and turns out its a paid app. I found it on the net and thought it was a free app.
So maybe because its a "cracked" app I cannot access the manage applications.

.Apk installs (from sd) will not be updated my 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

Gmail icon after root, and gapps install

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.

Application list crashing

Hi, from first official ROM (0725) through all versions of Eragon, with system/data/chache/dalvik cache wipe.....still when I open "Apps", list of apps is shown and then crash to home screen happens. So only way to uninstall apps is through some smart launcher or 3rd party app.
Tried with and also without sdcard.
Anyone knows what to do with it?
Thanks
