I've always just let my apps automatically restore but I would like to use my backup of apps with my backup pro. But once they restore they don't show downloaded in the market. How can I change this?

Go to settings > applications > manage applications > all - find market and google framework services. Clear cache/data for both...reboot. Open market.
Wait a few mins and all the apps will show up in the downloaded section.
This was happening to me yesterday.
I went to Manage Applications->All->Market, and then clicked "Force Stop", and then "Clear Data". I reloaded the market, accepted the terms, and everything showed up again.
If just clearing the data doesn't work, force stop it and then clear. That worked for me.
okay guys that worked, thanks. I have another question though now, so because I didn't want my apps to automatically install, I used my alternate gmail account(the one my paid apps aren't associated with) to first log in with the market so I could download My Backup Pro. After restoring my apps, I logged into my original main gmail(the one the paid apps are associated with) and my paid apps still haven't showed up. What can I do to make them show up?

Hard reset / wipe and use the right Gmail first.
Sorry but the first one you put on is the one and only Gmail linked to the market. You must use that one if you want your paid apps.
Also: I know you use my backup.. but titanium backup has a "market doctor" feature that finds missing market links and lets you re-establish them.

So I reflashed my phone + full wipe. I synced my phone with my Google accounts, HTC sense, and Facebook. While it was syncing, it started to auto download the apps I had before.
I was wondering how it did that? Because other times I tried it, that never hhappened. Was it from something else? It made it so much easier for me to get my apps back I had before. I don't like searching.
So can anyone confirm what backed up my apps??
Thanks!

When you signed up with the google account, it ask you if you want your phone backed up by google. All you had to do was not uncheck the check box to agree.
FYI, if you flash ROM's a lot it doesn't always restore your apps, so use screenshot to take a picture and store them prior to flashing to remember what you had so your not searching in the future.
is there anything out there that will keep track of the free apps on my phone. I know the maket has all the paid apps stored. BUt the free apps seem to be "remember what you had and go find it again" Am I wrong? I've got a lot of very occasional use or background stuff, and I would hate to esort to pen and paper to write it all down.
The market stores both. I wiped my phone last night and when I rebooted all the apps I had downloaded previously reinstalled themselves, both paid and free.
I cant speak though if you uninstalled an app and then wanted to reinstall it, if it will stay forever in your market.
install appbrain and sync it.
I had this same problem a while. I had to tell it to sync to gmail (or Google, however It's worded) and if auto sync is turned off you have to manually tell it to sync. If i decline the backup to Google my market remembers paid apps, if i accept it and sync it at least one time, they are all in the market.

go to market.android.com in your browser
sign in with the account you use to make purchases on your phone.
top right, click 'my market account'
everything you ever downloaded is there. you can reinstall by opening the app and it will open up on your phone. hope this helps.
I know when switching to a new phone once the gmail account is in the paid app will sync how can I get the free ones I previously got on a new phone

I'm on my first Android phone so i've not experienced this, but if the free apps aren't showing up in the Market under 'My Apps' on your new phone you may have to add them all again manually.
I'd do this from the Online Market as it would be faster than doing it on the phone itself though.
afaik you can use titanium backup, which will backup up your apps to a folder in your sdcard. you can restore this on your new phone
Installed CM7 on a mytouch 4G.
Used my google account to access the Market.
Installed a bunch of apps on it and configured them too.
Now I want to give this phone to a family member.
Can I replace my google account on this phone, without loosing all the apps and the respective configuration settings?
It's been a while since I have used CM. but I don't recall a way to replace the main Google account however you should be able to 'detach' the application from the market. Downloading Titanium Backup Root will allow you to detach the application from the android market where your account is linked to. (I suggest using the same application to do an apps backup first) Then switch the main account and attempt to reattach them. If you lose your settings or lose the apps, you have the backup to revert to.
Hope this help, and if there is an easier way out there use that, but this way is pretty straight forward (and you get a back up )

Cant you just go to settings, select the google account and press remove?

What?
No app will be deleted if you remove the active google account from settings.
You will most likely not be able to use google apps like gmail until you add a new account (that from your family member), but nothing gets deleted.
Non google apps will most likely work too, except you can't update from market until a google acount is added again and some paid apps employing the google licensing serve might refuse to work as there is no account attached, or the one attached, did not buy the app.
Just try it.

No, it will not let me do that. When I hit the "Remove account" button it says ...
"Do you really want to remove this account? Removing it will also delete all of its messages, contacts, and other data from the phone. Proceed?"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I hit the next "Remove Account" button and it says ...
"This account is required by some applications. You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults (which deletes all your personal data). You do that in the Settings application, under Privacy."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The only thing relevant under the Settings -> Privacy is the "Factory data reset". Which is what I want to avoid.
There are only a bunch of free apps installed on this phone. I want to keep those apps as-is and just swap the google accounts.
If you backup with titanium, assuming you are rooted, wipe data, flash ROM, then when setting up the phone just enter the new gmail and restore apps with titanium and bam. Kind of a pain, but it will get you where you need.

You can use multiply accounts with all apps usable. Open Market go to Settings/Accounts. Make sure you have the account you would like to use set up in Sync Settings

So if I have 2 google accounts setup under Settings -> Accounts then can I remove the first google account?
(Assuming that the second google account would then become the main google account for this phone.)

After doing a titanium backup, do you need to do the the Settings -> Privacy -> Factory data reset to reset the phone?
To answer the origninal question
In short-yes, you can change the primary google account by looking through the settings.
Without removing the first google account, I added the second google account.
But still it will not allow me to remove the first google account unless I do factory reset. Because I installed apps with the first google account.
However, it did allow me to remove the second google account right away. Because I have not done anything else after adding it.
I have quite a few apps associated with my Google account, so I selected only the ones I wanted to use on the One X. Then all of a sudden I noticed all my apps had downloaded to the phone. So I uninstalled the ones I didn't want then while I was doing this they started re downloading on their own.
I don't see any menu setting to prevent auto downloads, only auto updates, which is un checked.
Any clue why the apps are downloading on their own??
Sync
This has happened to me on just about every phone I have had. (even on custom ROMs) This leads me to believe that it is part of the data sync through your google acct. Of course, I could be wrong.
Did you have you apps and data backed up through Google from a previous Android phone?
Check under: settings -> privacy -> backup/restore
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yes by default on some android versions your apps, wifi settings, wallpaper, etc are kept on servers for backup. Maybe since 2.3 i think? I never used it and always disabled it on any custom roms since i use titanium backup. for non rooted devices it's nice though.
Could be apps that are linked from other apps. Like soundhound is in the music app. If you uninstall it, it will reinstall. As does tunedin radio
