I have an issue where my paid apps (Remote Desktop & PicSay Pro for Instance) is no longer available or found in the Apps Market. The Apps are on my phone, but when I search or try to update, they are not found.
I found this out when I put on the Fresh update and started to reload apps due to Apps2SD and I formatted my SD Card.
Any Ideas?
I havent reverted to stock yet, which I might do to figure this out.
this is just not rooted issues...it has to do with the update that htc released
it affects hero and eris owners

Will they ever get it right?
******Here's how to get around this temporarily!******
I know this isn't the best method, and some might frown upon it, but I couldn't get one of my purchased apps to show up at all in the market. This is because that publisher set copy protection to ON when publishing it. In writing the author, he said it was google's problem and that there was nothing he could do. All while he's enjoying a coffee courtesy of yours truly.
I thankfully had a nandroid backup of my modaco rom where the widget was installed, so I restored my backup (after making a backup of the fresh rom and doing the switcheroo in teh nandroid folder) and ran Astro to see if I could back it up, switch back, and restore. Much to my dismay, it said it was private. Damn.
So, what's a root user to do?
Thankfully, there's a way to restore the APK's, even if they're in a "private" status, meaning the developer doesn't want you to be able to back them up or copy the APK anywhere.
Since this info could be used to steal from developers, I'm not going to post how to do it. In my case, I cannot use an app I paid for. Not cool. Since I'm an honest person, I don't want to contribute to theft. PM me and we'll chat if necessary
Backing up App
Am I safe if I backup my
/data/app
and
/data/app-private ?
Or will I still lose my purchased apps?
Dont want to lose them!

The app-private directory should be the only one affected by this issue.
Unfortunately, I assumed I could re-download the apps from the market. I mean, after all, I did pay for them. Lesson learned.
its the same way with the free apps, there are like 9 i use on a daily basis, that i cant have now...pissed
Have the same problem as well, although I was able to download a few of my paid apps right after the update. It seems they were still available until I did my first soft reboot.
For example, I was able to re-download Album Art Grabber which cost money, but after reboot was unable to find let alone download Weatherbug Elite...
When I reinstalled the MoDaCo Rom the only app I could not get back showed up. It force closed but in my downloads in the market it is now there. It goes away if I restore to the non MoDaCo Rom. It is probl due to APP2SD, I guess it is on the SD cards ext2 partition.

You normally can...the issue is just recent with the market.

One of my favourite programs, never fails.
I have one question though. The program can backup both apk and data if you have root. But if it is restored, is it also shown in the market place?
Anyone with experience?
I know titanium backup has "market doctor" and tells the market which apps you have installed so you may get updates... but i dunno about that program!
Maybe you can run titanium market doctor after installed apk+data with mybackp pro?
Is paid version of titanium required for market doctor to work?

Yes. (Well, I believe the paid version is required for Market Doctor) I have the paid versions of both, but only use Titanium backup. I would only use My Backup Pro if I wanted to back up my call log and messages. It does not back up apps in app-private. Titanium Backup does everything fast and better.
I mailed the devolper to backuppro and he replied that his backup will be reflected in the market as well.
So I guess, since backup pro never failed and is as easy to use as it gets, I will only use this one.
Re: Mybackup pro
Yes, they show back up in the market if the application was downloaded from the market. I use mybackup pro all the time since I flash roms a lot, works great and never failed me. Sometimes though it takes while to show up in the market or may need a second reboot.

If you have root, you can allow mybackuppro to save the market link so that when you restore, it shows up in your market place. It works and is amazing
I just bought a droid 2 global for my girlfriend and I am trying to figure out what apps would be safe to disable/backup. After the update her phone has been quite sluggish and it's driving me nuts listening to her complain. I figure the VZW apps can go, skype as well, cityid for sure, then i dont know after that. Whatever is bloatware and safe to remove I would like to.
pretty much everything except backup assistant but make a backup of the .apks because for future OTA updates you will need them
From all the apps installed, only CityID, Skype Mobile and Amazon MP3 are constantly lurking in memory (beside backup assistant of course). There might be one news widget that stays resident too.
Be careful what you disable though as if you kill something crucial phone may not boot. CityID, skype mobile and amazon are safe to disable. Keep them around shall you want to apply future OTA updates from Verizon/Motorola.

Root. Buy titanium back up. Back up. Then freeze or full on remove the programs. You can also use rom manager or another app that "fixes permissions" (a mac does the same thing using disc manager) and then reboot... that seems to make everything jive better.
Or (without root) you can download task killer (ax Droid) and put the widget on the home screen for her. I always remind her to turn it off at least once a day too.

I should say, I haven't tried to remove anything just freezer a bunch but I will and get back to you. Cheers!

I backed up CityID, AmazonMP3, and Skype through ADB. I also fixed permissions and things seem a bit smoother.
I was also able to backup and uninstall skybe, amazon mp3, and city ID. I wasn't able to uninstall blockbuster or kindle... but the three mentioned above worked fine for me. Cheers.

I stupidly forgot to uncheck auto updates for the programs I said I cldnt remove. I was able to back them up and uninstall once I unchecked auto update in the market and removed all updates to the apps - no problem. Phone runs fine with the third party bloatware removed. Cheers.

But where is the system update located? I checked on the verizon website and there is nothing there. Also, do you have to be a verizon customer to get the update?

I use mybackup root to restore my apps whenever i change roms and i just hate having to update all of them manually when i have auto update on. Market doesnt see those app's. So i was wondering was there a way to get market to recognize them so it updates them.
I know that Tiatanium backup can link apps to the android market, not sure if it works though... And it requires the paid version. You could just get that through erm... other means... just to test it of course
Speaking from personal experience now.
If you buy Titanium Backup you won't regret it. It's cheap for what it does, and that is getting you up and running within 10 minutes of flashing a new ROM, especially useful for someone flashing every couple of days. It can batch backup and restore, link apps to market, and also break links, do automatic backups according to a schedule, upload backups to dropbox and so on. It's simple to use and for a good app, it's nice to support the devs. The paid version is not only a donate, but it gives you more features and the support is great.
Is there a way to force auto install all my apps from the Play Store? It would be easier to have them all install and then use an Auto Uninstaller to remove the ones I don't really want than it is to download them all one by one.
I know sometimes when you flash a new rom or something, it takes over and auto downloads them all for you right away (Cyanogen for examples does that) but the ROM I'm on now never had that prompt come up.
Thanks for the help
You can use Titanium Backup Pro. Once all your apps are backed up with it you can batch install ALL of them (all apps together with the paid version, one by one with the free). It has other features tho to use other than that but its good for batch installing apps.

yea i know about titanium but i was hoping there was a way to do it from the play store rather than from backed up apks (that way we're at the same time using the most up to date versions of each app). like the way cyanogenmod automatically downloads every app you own from the play store right away the first time you open the play store.
You can use app2zip from the play store. It put whatever apps you want into a flashable zip so you can easily flash in cwm.

All of the stock-based ROMs I've used (currently using MikTouch 0.7 based on the OTA 1.63.531.2 ROM) have done this. As soon as I sign into my Google account, it begins syncing the contacts and downloading all my apps. That's why I typically let the phone sit for about 15-20 minutes after flashing a ROM and signing in.
Well it's all good. I already have pretty much everything installed one by one. I'm using Virtuous Inquistion and it never started to sync all my old apps, but it's all good. Everythings working great. And I'll back it all up with titanium for next time around.

I don't know how I did it but I think it was something like this. You just hit back up on the normal settings and google will restore it?
I've flashed my second ROM after I hit backup and all the apps started downloading from the PlayStore after the first log in. Does anyone know how to officially do this?
I know that this can be done using ADB (don't know how to use it but I know how to use the I9300 Int Tool Kit).
Going to hold off trying app2zip until the developer emails and confirms SuperNexus and Paranoid Android 4.1.2 on Siyah 1.7 is supported..It doesn't look to stable!
:highfive:
Btw, there is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531880 if you didn't know..
I was wondering about this as well: recently wiped and flashed a stock ROM and when I launched the Play Store for the first time, it began downloading all the apps that were in my account. I tapped 'cancel' as I didn't wan't all of them right away, then I had to install them one by one.
So it would be good if you could control this behaviour - for example to be able to check which apps you want downloaded and to install them automatically, yet in a bit more controlled manner.

I came to the conclusion that I'm okay with Titanium Backup for that purpose - bought the pro license a while ago - it can batch restore what you choose. It's slower than I expected at that, but at least you can leave the phone while the job runs.
for some reason this time all my apps auto installed.
shrugs. think i need to flash again, ill backup apps jsut in case, but hopefuly itl auto install again and i can delete the backup and only backup the data, not the apps.
Best way I have found to do this is to go to Settings > Backup & reset
Once there delete the existing account that exist.....
Wait a few minutes and it'll prompt you to put a backup account in....then reenter the same account.
This will prompt google to look at all your apps you currently own and the ones on your device and if not there will download it for you.
I discovered this when I factory reset my phone and when I restarted my phone it connected to a wi-fi network that required a sign-in process and as a result google attempted to download but was unable to.
Hope this helps.
Has anyone found any solution? Cause I have Titanium backup pro but I have read that it is not the best thing to restore apks... better reinstall them (especially for battery life)... There applist apps in market but they just store the link they don't download them automatically....
And I have apps on 2 seperate google accounts so just restoring during first sign in doesn't work well
Titanium backup is great. i use it. works great for installing apk's. but if you want to do it through the app store you have to let it run right when you first have the option. if you try to to it later youll have to do them all individualy

With free license, unfortunately, yeah, that's it, but PRO allows you to batch install and restore data for a chosen amount of apps. It also allows a creation of a recovery-flashable image, which is, from my experience, the fastest to deploy, but takes a while to create.

Well I install several ROMs and I found out that sometimes the Google Play store messes up before restoring all your apps. What I do is got into setup and remove my google account and then just readd it and off it goes downloading and syncing all your apps.

I've yet to try to see what happens if I detach apps from Play Store using TB. If it would prevent Play from rushing to download all the stuff (usually 100+ apps) when I first boot up a new install, it would be nice.
