Idea/Does it exist? - Mass market updater

I know there is Atrackdog or whatever it is called, but it doesnt actually do the downloading (and mostly tells you about updates which dont exist on the marketplace)
Is there any app which checks your installed apps , checks the market and downloads/installs them all?
The reason I ask is that its not an uncommon occurrence to have 4-5 apps which have a new version out around the same time. And this morning I did a BART restore and having to 1 by 1 update each of the 20 or so apps was a bit of a bind.

so this doesnt exist and noone seems to think there is a need for it?

there is a huge need for a mass market updater, but I think I've read that it's not possible to do with the current SDK. Google would have to update the Market app.
someone, please correct me if I'm wrong.

I would absolutely love an apt, yum, etc implementation for the android market and other software repositories.
the possibilities are mind boggling.

[Q] How do I force start a system app?

I want to start the Market Updater but since it is a system app I am not sure of how to force start it or if there is an app for this, there are many apps for stopping other apps but none that I know for starting them. My phone is not rooted.
Yesterday when the market was updated I kept deleting it because I was not sure what was going on, I was not given a notice that there was an update or was ever asked if I wanted to update. The new markets icon was not the same and since I am always quick to think something unfamiliar is a virus I kept uninstalling it and eventually took out the battery and restarted my phone (I know I am weird). NE Ways I looked it up on the net and confirmed that there was indeed a new market released and now I want it back so that is the reason for this question.
Please do NOT post or link to the apk, I want to get it through the Market Update app.

search and download in the market named "Startup Manager", once you've open it, you will have three tabs. Go to the 3rd tab labeled "Custom". from that tab you can add an application that you want to start on startup..
hope it helps if i understood your problem correctly..

Am I missing something- Market/few apps??

For some reason in my market there are almost no apps. I only see "top free apps" in any category, not like a huge list of apps im used to on my phone.
I look at the compatible apps for the TF on here but yet im unable to install any of them or even find them. No skype, friendcaster, and others..
Apps I thought I'd be able to easily get, i cant
Im on the latest OTA and not rooted. Anyone care to explain?

I had this before my self. I really dont know why...but i got it fixed by rooting it and installed it with Prime rom.
..i stopped asking why it happened

When you say you can't find Skype and Friendcaster, are you saying even when you search you don't find them? Or do you just mean you can't find them when browsing categories?
I would say that finding apps by the categories is not great. But I can find the apps you're talking about if I search by name.

Correct. Before I rooted, I wasnt able to see every app under "social"- then the sub category of "top free apps". I would just see the 8 and not able to click all free apps.
I went to the google market on the internet and found friendcaster but said the transformer was not compatible.
Once I rooted though, I was able to see a bunch more apps. Honestly- i couldnt even see the other versions of angry birds, only angry birds rio because it was on the top free apps list in the home screen.

can u pls tell us what version honeycomb ur u installed? Configuration > about my tablet (iono how its called in english, im running dutch language)
also pls tell us what rom u flashed with the rooting?
I got prime 1.8 with HC 3.2 running. I belief 3.0 and 3.1 HC didnt have the update for non tablet apps compability mode. Meaning that google market prevent u downloading it.
Just root and flash prime1,8 or revolver rom2.5. Any rom with HC 3.2 on it. u will see the apps ill be back and u have the compatibility options for non tabet apps.

[Q] How do i get a market Update?

Hi all!
I´m using Prime 1.9 ROM.
The problem is, that my market version is still at 1.0.28 which is an old one. someone know how to get the updated version?
Greetings
Cyber

I think that's the current market for HC tablet.

I don´t think so because i can download facebook an there is no version available for tablets.

You're talking about side loading. You did not download Facebook directly from market did you?
You can certainly side load the newest market version but it's NOT optimized for tablet.
The latest up to date version for tablet is what you have.
but if you want just download and install the market from here

Your original question was "How do i get a market Update?" which you will not because you are up to date.

okay i understand.
but i´m still wondering because i got on the original rom no chance to download facebook so i think there must be maybe a filter or something for tablets when loading the market site.

When I first got my TF, FB was pre-installed. Some times after that they removed it from market for HC tablet. So now when it get update, I just pull it from my phone and install it on the TF.

The most up-to-date market app caused a lot of my apps to force-close. If you sideload it, remember this, in case you start getting apps unable to run.

Batch download APKs?

Hello,
Is there a computer app/website that allow you to create your app list and download each of them by a single clic? Goal being to donwload all these apps last version APK anytime you want instead of looking for them one by one.
Thanks.

You're looking to batch download from Google play? I don't believe this is possible. Actually, I think Google blocks this as a security issue.
If you're trying to make switching ROMs easier, then making a flashable zip of user apps from something like titanium backup then just letting the play store do the update might be a way to go. Of course Google apps can be obtained from opengapps.org.
