[Q] How to avoid market update - General Questions and Answers

I hate the old market and want to stay with the old one (2.6).
I've replaced Vending.apk to the old one and tried to freeze the market updater using Titanium Backup, but the market keeps updating itself.
Is there a way to avoid the market from auto updating?

I'm assuming you've tried to clear data and force close market from settings -> applications?
I got the Market update this morning too and I have not had any problems.
I'm having the same problem... I posted about it twice in the Prime thread to no avail. I have cleared the Market data and also the apps data that I have had problems updating.
It's only select apps (google apps?) that seems to force close the market when trying to update them.
what phone is it? im kinda lost here...im new to this form and would like some help.
.
Yeah, i cleared the data and cache, i even did a full system wipe to try a solve but no dice. Hopefully an update is forth coming that will solve this, kinda a pain not being able to update apps.
Cold boot fixed it for me when I updated to the latest firmware
i assume you did not read the info before installed right?
it's said that 3.3.11 is not working perfectly on Honeycomb tablet's
but now you now

I assume you know that this was pushed silently and we had no choice, right?
Now you know.
I also have some problems with the new Market app. However, it seems to only force close when I select specific paid apps under My Apps. One of those apps received an update, which it luckily installed automatically, and now I can select that app again without a problem. Maybe the Market crashed on certain permission settings that they changed or something. Just an idea.
Btw, it has been tried by gnufabio to put back the previous version of the Market, but that didn't work because of how the apk's are signed or something (correct me if I'm wrong!).

How do I stop Market from updating itself

I have the apk pack for the old style no picture box market. I have ran it on my phone a lot but Market soon updates itself to the new one which I hate.
Is there any way to stop it updating itself ?
Yes, use TI Backup the freeze the update process (marketupdater).
Nice one thanks

Anyone know why the Play Store doesn't always restore apps?

I've always found the Play Store to be incredibly inconsistent when it comes to restoring apps.
When I recently Odin'd back to stock and signed into my Google account, the Play Store instantly began downloading all of the apps that I had installed on the last ROM. Apps that had been uninstalled were not re-downloaded; it only restored the apps that were on the phone most recently.
But when I just installed Synergy and signed into Google, it didn't bother restoring anything. I know that I can go to All Apps > All, but this is just a huge list of every app that I've ever downloaded on an Android device. It's far more tedious.
Anyone know the reason for this inconsistency?
(And no, I'm not a fan of apps like Titanium Backup.)
Some roms give you a check box to check if you want to restore apps and some dont. It should ask if you want to backup your apps and if you want to restore apps during the install.

Google's play store backup only backs up your last ROM that you signed into with your Google Account.
So, if you didn't restore all of your apps when you flashed another ROM, Google Play restored "0" apps for that ROM and made a backup with "0" apps. That's why you aren't getting any restored.
I recommend Titanium Backup.

[Q] Apps missing from 'My Apps' in Play Store

Hi there,
First I'd just like to say that I've tried every solution and guide I could find in the last hour or so. I'm running a Telstra HTC One XL with the latest ViperXL ROM, and the Bulletproof kernel.
My issue is this: I recently completely wiped the ROM and all data/settings etc. Before doing so, I backed up just a few apps that I wanted with Titanium Backup. After I was setup again, I restored the apps, but I can't get them to be detected in the Play Store. I've tried Market Fixer, Titanium's Market Doctor, clearing data+cache for the store and google services framework and rebooting, installing the apparent newest leaked version of the Play Store from here on the forums. Frankly I think I've only made the issue worse - the only app Titanium detects as being installed now is the Play Store. The My Apps section in the play store only shows apps that I've installed since reinstalling the rom.
I should mention that I made a new google account recently - some or all of the apps I'm not seeing may have been installed/last updated under the old account. I haven't touched that old account since the new installation. It occurs to me that I could probably just uninstall and reinstall most of my apps, but that would defeat the purpose of backing up.. I'd lose the associated data/settings/files.
Appreciate any help.
Tl;dr: Are there any other ways than Titanium's Market Doctor to link apps restored from a backup, with the market, when they haven't necessarily been associated with the current Google account previously?
*Btw, the old account no longer exists.

Apps auto updated without permission

Rooted LG G3 d851 4.4.2 T-Mobile
I downgraded to older versions of gosms pro and snapchat for numerous reasons... I had researched how to avoid app updates and deselected auto update in the play store. Additionally, i detached both apps from play store with titanium backup... They tend to always show up in my update queue from time to time but i never update them and select apps one by one or detach again and update all... Well today somehow after switching batteries and turning my phone back on both apps force updated themselves... What the? Anyone else experience this?
Since no one answered this putting it out there in car anyone elsenhas problems. I figured out after posting this. TB was being greenified and for some reason apps I had detatched from play store were reassociating as new and requiring update and this and at that time Play Store would auto select auto update however now it doesn't do that
