If reset, any issue getting paid apps back?

Let's say I have to do a reset and for some reason lost a backup. Can paid apps be downloaded and installed again?

It is my understanding that as long as you re-register your phone under the same account you can always redownload them in the downloaded section of the market

As long as you use the same Google Account yes.
Just go to Market, then Downloads, and all your purchased apps will already be listed there marked "Purchased" and you can re download them.

Great. Thanks.
Hmmmm.....there must be a sticky somewhere with all these basic questions answered. Problem is knowing which forum/thread to find them.
I'd like to spend an hour reading a tutorial or sticky thread for new users to Android. May prevent a lot of other simple questions like this.

Titanium Backup -Market Doctor

I posted this in the Galaxy S2 forums but unfortunately not many replied, im hoping someone here can be of assistance.
Some apps i have on my phone i haven't got via the Android Market, lots ive got have been apk's ive got on XDA,etc,etc, what im wondering is, seen as i didn't get these apps from the market if i linked the selected apps to the market through the market doctor what is that supposed to do?
I have the Paddy Power app and Betfair app which were were initially on the Android market but for some bizzare reason Android market decided no betting apps were to be allowed to took them off the market so i went elsewhere and downloaded them and installed via root explorer, there are a couple of paid apps i also downloaded for free not something i usually do but whoever created these apps was taking the p*ss with the price they were charging so i refuse to pay over the odds for an app, taking all this into consideration what (if any) advantage would i have by linking these to the market and more's to the point considering i didn't get any of these particular apps from the market would the apps in question still link to the market?

anyone.......??

For apps already removed from the market there's no use forcing a link.
For paid apps if it's not good enough to match its price to you,you still want to use it and want easy updates? :O probably why your question is unanswered..

What about apps though that ive got on XDA and apps like Paddy Power and Betfair which were taken out of the market,can these not be linked to the market?

You cannot link it to market because it does not exist in the market server anymore, it's that simple.

Market doctor is used when apps you did get in the market don't show up. Nothing more. Link to market is really only useful is you manually unlinked an app.

can i backup all my messages with titanium backup and restore them on another ROM?

[APP][FREE] Android MOD Market

I have been working on this app for a long time. I think it is finally at a stage where I can say it is stable and ready for the masses to take hold. It has been listed on google play now for over a year as a paid and free app.
When I worked on ROM's it was tedious updating so many threads after completing a new update. So I developed Android MOD Market
Android MOD Market is an app that scavenges through CyonaogenMOD, MIUI-US and XDA searching for APPs, MODS and ROMS; reads the posts, picks out information and makes it available in an easily searchable and categorized app.
I guess you could call it a ROM, MOD and APP search engine with some added features. You can set presets for your favorite listings and have it notify you when the listing is updated.
Unlike ROM Manger, GOO-IM or many other popular apps and update notifiers, AMM does not require the developer to do anything additional but post it to a forum thread. New listings are usually picked up by AMM with in a few hours and any update is available immediately to a user.
You can view the AMM website (in my sig) and view the listings there, get the free app from Google Play (ad supported) or if ads aren't your thing feel free to purchase an ad free version also Available on Google Play.
Check it out here...

That's strange, not sure why your device is not compatible. Let me check the listing. APK attached to OP...

Resuscitating this thread...
APP has made some major milestones lately. IF you tried it in the past and disregarded it, feel free to give it another try. It is definitely much different now.
APK in OP updated to reflect the latest free version available from the playstore.

Is an antivirus necessary? I install third-party apps.

I install third-party apps from App stores like Amazon Appstore and Aptoide (nothing illegal). I recently read an article where it stated that it is very easy for users to download apps that contain keyloggers due to how easy it is to get a keylogger on an app. I'm guessing not all apps are clean even from Google Play, and they most definitely aren't from third-party app stores. Do I need an antivirus like Avast! to ensure everything I download/install are clean and safe?
Also, what's up with all the scary permissions that many apps (even popular ones from top developers) need in order for to be able to use them? For example, Pocket wants to read my contacts, Aptoide wants to read my phone status and identity, and Facebook wants to know everything about my phone. Should I be concerned?
Thanks.
P.S. Is there a way to automatically update third-party apps? Do all apps typically have their own self-updater, or am I required to manually check through Google whether there is a new version for that particular app?

This doesn't belong in general.

Where should I have posted this thread? Sorry, I'm new to XDA.

Regardless of where you put the thread, antivirus isn't really necessary (at least, in my humble opinion). If you are careful in downloading your third-party apps, you should be fine.

This thread does not belong in the 'General' section, it either goes in the 'Question and Answers' section the 'Security Discussion' section or the 'Android question and answers' section (assuming you are running Android) I would message a mod to either move the thread to one of the sections or have them lock it and then search xda, I know your question had been answered before in many threads. Just use the search button to find your answers or type your question with 'XDA' at the end on Google and search using that if you can't find it using the native XDA search feature.

AppZorter for TouchWiz by DemiDoes no longer available?

I remember this app where it allows users to sort applications on touchwiz with awesome features like separating System Apps and User Apps by adding a page break and many other functions. But according to my search on the Internet and various 3rd party appstores, I found out that the author had a problem with KitKat roms and have never saw him developing furthermore since then.
Anyone know what happened to this awesome app or author?
Are there any app sorting apps that is similar like this?
If you don't know what app I'm talking about please drop me a reply here, I will include links for it.
Thank you!
