If I go into /system/app the apps I've "frozen" with Titanium don't seem to be renamed or altered. So how does it disable them?
Im asking because Id like to get rid of Titanium backup, I don't use any of it's features other than the freeze so would be better if I could just do that myself..
I'm not sure, I haven't ever frozen an app with titanium. What I can tell you though, is that if you go into /system/app and move apps out or in, android will automatically note these changes. This means that you can blow out anything in the app folder and it will be uninstalled from your device. Be careful though, if you remove something you really need for your phone to run, you might have problems. I'd go for a nandroid backup first for this reason.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I could put the question another way..
Can anyone recommend an app to manage/disable unwanted apps to save having to go in and find/rename apks manually?
Just an update for anyone with the same problem, found the answers on the following threads:

App freezing requires to use the integrated 'pm' tool which hangs when debugging is off!
In any case you can check the app System Tuner which freezes apps very easily:

I frozen com.android.music.apk (Stock music player) from my Galaxy Advance with Titanium Backup. When I wanted to Defrost Titanium Backup tell me that app has been defrosted, but the app stil frozen, navy color in Titanium Backup. I tried 10 times and don't defrost. Next, because I have backup of this app I have uninstaled with titanium, and now trying to restore it. But titanium tell me "Restoring..." and don't restore, even if I let it 30 minutes with this message "Restoring app..."
So because I have rooted my phone I have tryied to put music.apk in /system/app folder, setting the permisons, the file is there and have rw-r--r-- permisions but the app is not accesible from app drawer. What can I do to restore my Stock Music Player?
Can anyone help me ?

Are you still restoring in the same ROM that you originally froze the app? The Android version is more important, but sometimes, the ROM makes a difference too.
yes, the same ROM. Stock ROM of Galaxy Advance. Only ROOT-ed.
android ver. 2.3.6
in the same ROM happened soȘ
1.Frozen Stock Music Player
2.tried defroze whithout succes. Titanium said was defrost, but in fact remained frozen, and colored in navy in Titanium, with "Defrost" option enabled. So can't defroze
3.Uninstalled with titanium whitout defrozing
4.So because I have rooted my phone I have tryied to put music.apk in /system/app folder, setting the permisons, the file is there and have rw-r--r-- permisions but the app is not accesible from app drawer.
What can i do to have it back in app drawer ?
Well, I only froze an application once in TB, and I defrost it with no problem. But, somehow another app still recognized it...so I do not know if freezing apps are helping as much as they are hurting.
But my last tip before I give up...for now. Uninstall, and try restoring only the app and not the data and tell me what happens.
And of course, if all else fails, backup data and reflash the Rom.

tried! is telling me "Restoring..." and can stay 3 hours with this message. I need to kill titanium to close this.
another ideea ?
You can also freeze/unfreeze through link2sd, which many Android users have on their device anyway.
on my Galaxy S Advance I can't unfreeze any frozen app. No with Titanium, No with Link2SD
Look! I have frozen Yahoo News with Link2SD. Now I can't defroze it. I can try to defroze 10 times. Look at this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2th5cGvOYKw
why it's freeze but can't unfreeze ? I got no error!

I will give you an Example, the software update app in my samsung galaxy phone it always run even i did not run it, if i will freeze my software updater app it will not run automatically anymore and you can't use it.. so like in video games, it's like a pause button.
Hello peeps,
Wanted to know,
If we install some app using the .apk file from our computer.
Can we get them into the market
Coz, i'd like to know whether they got an update or something, and would like to update the app.
Thanks.

Actually u have to integrate/connect them with market. Use tit backup app. Long press on app that u want to link with market. Then choose 'attatch to market (forced)' option. Its so simple.

few are normal apps, few are the cracked ones.
better not try with anything cracked.
when you install an app from your computer in apk format, you should also be connected to wireless, in case something else gets installed at that time and stored in the apps files. most likely ripping an app from system or data will cause it to not have something the creator intended, which is why tying it to the market doesn't work... if you want to check for updates, then check for updates. if there's a more recent version, try installing the update over the old one. if it doesn't work, then copy all of the app data manually (go to /data and copy the folders for that app), then install the updated app, open it, close it, then replace all data with the one you copied.

oh okay.
Anyway mate, the Titanium backup method works.
It doesn't show the apps in my MY APPS in the market, but we can watch/update them from Titanium backup itself.
Thanks anyway.
Guys see when I did a restore with my backup pro, all my apps got linked to the market! The apk ones also and when I broke the link they all come under not installed! And my whole app list in the market was erased! How can I get back my list of only market installed apps? Plus even when I factory reset it and install all apps manually, it does not come properly! And even if I install an app from the market the whole thing comes back like that! Please Please Help Me!
likely has to do with market cache, among other things. the good news is, selecting to install them again won't wipe the data
So what should I do to get only market installed app list back! Its very confusing! It linked all my apps to the market on its on!
were you restoring a previous backup from cwm using backup pro? I don't have the app and don't know how it works. if you were, then why not restore using cwm and using titanium to backup your market? this should help save the market data to reuse after using that backup pro app...
Its this simple
Download Titanum backup>open>menu>market doctor>market auto updates
This would attach the links of user app to the Market.
Guys no ur not getting the problem! All my 280 apps apk installed ones and also including market apps have been linked to the market! I want only my market(user) apps to be there! Should I try making a new account!
ok to remove the apps u needo follow the same steps but insteat in titanium backup>menu>market tool>destroy all market links.
then reattach them

I have only market auto updates and market doctor no market tools!
To remove all market link do this
Goto Titanium>"Menu button">Market tools> Select destroy all market links
To reattach
instead destroy all market links select market doctor.
See even when I break market links all apps including user and apk come under not installed! I guess I have to make a new account!

After destorying, try using market doctor the attach the links back. You can try force attaching an app to the market too, go to backup/restore and long press the app and select force attach to the market. It should work

How about this:
Delete all Market links
Remove the google account from the phone
Delete all app data of the market apk
Restart the phone
Open market app
Enter account
See if the my apps list is clean
If it is, restore only the links you want to have to.

I fianlly understand your problem. Here's what you can try. Backup the app using titanium backup, uninstall the app and install it again manually(without data). Then restore the data and check if its under the list. Btw, can you see all your apps? If you can't, try reinstalling.

Try this (I really don't know if it works)
1) Settings=>Privacy Settings=>Back up my data and uncheck everything
2) Settings=>Applications=>Manage applications=>Market=>Clear data
If in 1) checkboxs are already unchecked... well, it won't work
edit:
If the apps appear as installed, try to break again the links with Titatiun Backup

No dude did not work! Guess its a problem with the account!
Did you try as I said? I had a similar issue time ago and I couldn't solve it, so I want to know if doing as I explained will solve the problem.
Quoting from here:
If you check this option, a wide variety of your personal data is backed up, including your Wi-Fi passwords, Browser bookmarks, a list of the applications you’ve installed from Market, the words you’ve...

What I think is: you restored the apps, then the market recognized them as market apps and added them to the "installed applications" list. Finally Android backed up that list. So now, when you break the links with Titanium Backup, Android Market shows them as "not installed" because they are in that list and considers them as not installed.
Its ok guys! I made a new account!

WOW!!! titanium backup worked, man! thanks, really.
Titanium back up is the Easiest Solution
But if you want to remove the apps Like a Pro
download any root explore from PLAY STORE
ex. ES File Explorer,Root Explorer
and go to
/system/app/
there are all the Stock Apps On Your Phone
and you can delete any thing
But Besure to only delete those AT&T Blot apps other wise You will Mess Up your Phone..
Ps:To Gain access to Root Folder You have To Mount the system path first.
in ES File Explore You can Do This By
Go To Settings and Tick these
1.Root Explorer
2.Mount File System

Hi friends.
Like the title says, I have many apps installed in my phone. Some apps were downloaded from the Market, but the others, were installed by the apk file.
These apps (apk) don't appear in My Downloads section in the Market, and I can't update all these. The file manager of Go Launcher detects the updates of these apps, but when I try to update, I can't, because the apps aren't in the Market.
How can I solve it ?
Thank you in advance
Use titanium backup to restore market associations.

I tried with Titanium Backup, but nothing happens.
Download latest titanium backup. Then go to this option
market tools -> market doctor
I installed the latest version of Titanium Backup, and I cracked it with Lucky Patcher for get Titanium Backup Pro.
Then I used the function ''Market Doctor'' and the process worked correctly, but when I go to the Market, the apps aren't there.
do u install non-markets apps for which u need to pay in market and u have not paid??? according to me those types of apps wont be shown in app list of ur play-store. so u will have to update those apps by ur self as non-market apps.
i have never used titanium back up so so i dont know about thing(market doctor) which is mentioned by other members above.
