If this has been answered a billion times, please forgive.... I did use Google and the forum search, I just didn't find anything pertinent.
First, I currently only have the free version of TiBU, but it has batch backup/restore functions. Is this an acceptable backup, or does the full version grab more?
Second, When I set up my phone, I used a Google apps account that, upon reflection, I may not always have. If I set up my next rom with my personal gmail account, and then restore my TiBU, will my paid apps transfer to the new account, and continue to update?
Thanks for all the help, and if there's another thread that answers my question, just link me and I'll exhibit my mad literacy skillz!
nope you will just have the app/s, nor will they update.
And Google hasn't opened a way to transfer purchases, have they?
Or even a way to sign in and out of market accounts..... I'd gladly just sign in with this account once a month to check for updates.

That is a good question, and I am not sure about it, but I don't believe so.
I guess that I'm just gonna have to hope that a ) I don't ever lose this google apps account or b ) If I do Google has come up with a way to transfer purchases.
Also, is the batch backup in the free version of TiBU the same as the one in the paid version?

I think the batch restore is different, in that the paid version will do multiple apps in one shot, whereas the free version allows you to restore only one at a time.
It's doesn't *limit* you to only one, it just makes you click on every app you want to restore individually, over and over until they're all restored.
In other words, pro does "unattended" one-click restores of multiple app backups.

This is correct with titanium backup. As far as your apps purchased, I would contact market support by opening the market and press menu - help and click on contact us.

Let me get this straight, if I buy the full version of TiBU, I won't have to 'accept' and 'done' every app when I restore a backup? If that's the case, it'll be well worth whatever they're asking. (I do understand that I'll need to restore my full version unlock as a standalone to have access to the unsupervised script).

Well, I only used the free version to restore apps once, a long time ago (I bought it early on), but from what I remember, and from what I understand you to be saying, you won't have to confirm then select the next app.
As far as restoring your pro to get the full features, you could do that one separately, or, just go to the market and install TiBU free, as you most likely would have to anyway after a new ROM flash, and then go to the pro key listing, and if you've purchased it, it'll say 'purchased', and you can just download the key again.
Just buy it. It's worth it, if for no other reason than to support the dev.

The free version allows a batch restore, but you have to confirm and then close each install like a regular market install. Anyway, next flash will see me spending the money for the full version.

Yes, what you just mentioned is exactly what the pro version eliminates.

I've been jumping around between different 2.1 ROMs and every time I have to wipe and upgrade. Is there something I can use that will either save and reinstall all of my apps? I want to still get updates from the android market. The apps I want to keep are all on the market, it's just a pain to reinstall all of these apps each time.

Titanium Backup, if you get the donate version it installs all of your backed up apps automatically after you launch the batch file.
+1 on Titanium Backup. It's worth buying the donate version for the extra features.

Yes they do....I am glad I finally get to give Tatonka advice (you are always the one giving advice on androidforums).
I just got done installing 98 apps with titanium backup (using a2sd). Worked perfectly maybe took 5-10mins but with the donate version you dont have to confirm each app (like you would in the market) it bypasses that and just does all the work for you. And everything is in the market. I am not sure about the free version but titanium also has a feature called market doctor that will scan all of your installed apps and make sure they are all in the market (which normally they are, I think it is a just in case feature)

does that only work with the paid version? Because when I used TB free, they didn't show up in the market as downloaded/installed (at least, I don't think they did lol). I've been using Astro more often than not the past few times

It did for me just give it a bit to update, but I donated $3.99 the next day because of the auto install feature. Pressing OK to confirm each install sucks (over 45 apps)
I just wiped my TF101 more or less voluntarily... I have witnessed before that in Google market only my PAID apps seem to be restored automatically; is there any way to also get the free apps at least listed? I always forget which apps I had installed
Thanks everyone! Even a pointer to other threads is appreciated since I couldn't find anything.
:cheers:
EDIT: It is especially annoying for programs like ROM Manager and Documents To Go where the free version is required before the (paid) key can be used
Well if you use Titanium backup you can backup all your apps so when you wipe your device you can restore them all quickly and easily.
I dont use Google to backup my apps, much easier to use Titanium.
One other app that is really good is Mybackup you can backup your apps that way as well along with many other features but most are really designed for a phone.
Hope that helps

Yeah, I know. I have Ti Backup but as I stated in my post I wiped more or less voluntarily... That's why I was wondering if there is some kind of Google magic that can be used as a backup-backup So basically it was my fault to not make a Ti Backup first. Luckily, I don't have any important data on the TF!
For me it restores all my downloaded apps automatically by default, weird.
if you log onto market. android.com go under my market account and that lists everyapp you ever downloaded.

I also found an app called AppBrain App Market which apparently also stores the installed app information and can be used to sync with any given device. It's got really good reviews and is free
EDIT: I think I know what might be the reason that I do not get the free apps. When I click on the apps in market.google.com they show up as "installed" although they are not! Either I am missing a setting or it's a bug in the system!
After having nothing but trouble with my Sensation since June, I finally decided it needed to go back to Tmobile for a replacement. Thankfully I held off on rooting it since I know that can be a very hit or miss situation to fix prior to returning it. What is the best way to back up my apps and data so that I can get the new phone "looking" like this one? Clearly I can not root, so I need a solution that does not require tinkering. I have heard that all apps downloaded from the official Market should be available again (at no charge), can anyone confirm this? If so, how do I go about getting those apps? Also, will the same happen for free daily apps I downloaded from the Amazon App store?
Hi,
I'm also waiting for maturity and ease on rooting/unrooting this phone for the same reason you are
I had to do a factory reset on my Sensation after a couple of weeks and was pleasantly surpised to not only get my contacts back but all the apps I'd installed via Market.
Ensure both boxes are checked under "backup and restore" in Privacy settings and that you've been synchronizing with Google ok and you should get all the Market apps + your contacts and also your settings (like notification, ringtone etc) back
Sorry dunno about Amazon. Hope this helps.

That is interesting. Now, the question is did that work because you were using the same device? I am wondering how it works once you switch to a totally new piece of hardware with a different ESN and so forth.
You will keep all your maket app. Also, your Amazon app store purchase will be there if you sign in with the same account. Just backup your contact info to google and that should be it. The only thing that you will lose is app settings and data.

Use SMS Backup in the market, remember to keep your current SD csrd, the backup will be on it. Backup with Gmail works good too, both are available in the market.

Use MyBackup Root if you're rooted. It saves your stuff on your SD card and you can restore it on a new device.

You will be able to keep all of your amazon appstore and market purchases. You just have to redownload them while signed into the same gmail account that you made the original transaction. Be wary of some game apps however.. I remember there was a problem for some users using Gameloft apps where they were unable to redownload the games they had purchased and were told by the company that they had to repurchase them for use on their new device. I haven't had the problem since I back up with Titanium, but if root is not an option, then you've been warned

during app installation (side-step) is there a way to bypass confirmation dialog box? I am using Titanium to restore all backup apps along with app data each time it install app i have to confirm. I just wanna click and let it go all at once. thx

if you buy the pro version it will allow this. i was leary about the 6 bucks at first, but after flashing a few roms and going through the install process a few times, i realized it was worth every penny
purchased the pro version worked like a magic.
TiBu Pro, the best $6 I spent in the Android Market.

I've ended up wasting a lot of money in the Android Market, but the 6 bucks I paid to unlock the full potential of Titanium Backup was well worth it.
Titanium must be selling well then.
Best decision I ever made was buying TiBu when I realized I was going to be flashing alot. Also, My Backup Root works well and is free. Only downside is it's slow, compared to TiBu.
interesting thing is that now I got the gingerbread flashed, i dont expect the flash rom amny times, however, in order not to forgot everything i did, i started documenting what i did. because searching for sea of scattered information on the web is pain.

i have used TiBu hundreds of hundreds of times, to restore my apps, and such. and only ONE time (just the other day actually), it randomly requested the confirmation for each install. and it was quite irritating, bc im not used to having to confirm them all. but it hadd never done that before, and has yet to do it again. not sure why..
nice thanks for the help
Does anyone know how to detach an application from the Android Market without using Titanium Backup? I'm looking for an ADB or shell(preferred) method.
Are you trying to buy an app but it won't let you because it says you did not purchase it even though it says purchased? I had a copy of an app I didn't pay for but when I went to purchase it it already said purchased. When I tried installing it, it said I did not purchase it. No matter what I did, it wouldn't detach. I uninstalled, used titanium and still showed purchased.
I went to settings, manage applications, and chose Market. Then I hit uninstall updates. I opened the Market and it was the old version. I could then purchase the app. Afterwards, the Market updated itself automatically.
Hope this helped
Btw, this belongs in general.

No, I wish I had a "simple" problem. What I have is Pandora unlimited from one of the XDA developers. It keeps trying to update Pandora but I don't want to lose the unlimited. I'm also wondering if it will allow me to delete apps on the rezound if I untie them from the market.
Other Reasons
There are other reasons to need this, including if you took an Amazon App of the Day, and now the Market wants to tell you ALL THE TIME that there is an update, which will fail.
What you can do on the update notice is click the "X" and a menu will ask you if you want to NEVER UPDATE THIS APP, which should be your choice.

For the first part, I am not sure...
For the second part...
You could do it with ADB but it would not be permanent. Meaning you would have to do it on each reboot.
use something like...
"adb pm uninstall xxxxx.xxxxx.xxxx"
Im not sure if that is the correct syntax so double check that.
But thats the closest I can think of to do what you want to do
I would also ask NilsP. He is pretty knowledgeable with the Package Manager.
