[Q] Backing up apps in Android

Hey guys.
First of all, I own a Moto Milestone.
So I'm on stock 2.1 and I want to install a custom ROM which means wiping everything.
Now, I know how to back up my apps but once I reinstall them how do I make them appear in "downloads" so I could get updates? (I'll be using File Manager from the appstore to back up apps)
Thing is I have a lot of paid apps. Will my google account remember that I payed for the and let me redownload them?

Anyone?

Yea I would tell you why if the forum search was working. You need to make a flashable zip for this to work. Don't remember the reasoning behind it. A zip was posted in one of the cyanogen threads if I recall correctly. Once search is back up I suggest searching for 'adfree' and clicking the "show posts" radio button.

Here you go:

How are you installing busybox? If you haven't already tried this way, install titanium backup, then open titanium and click the "problems" button on the bottom. That will give you the option to install a working version of busybox.

Just go clockworkmod and push hosts file to /system/etc via ADB.
P.S. don't forget mount system first.

[App] Hulu Plus for HTC Sensation

How to install:
(Thanks to ebatr8)
Download the zip from here, unzip the folder and copy all three files (com.hulu.plus-20110723-192253.properties, com.hulu.plus-20110723-192253.tar.gz, com.hulu.plus-bcc9ed16094d067c4c1f3ceb8851f886.apk.gz) into your Titanium Backup folder on your SDcard. Once all three files have been copied start up Titanium Backup and make sure you refresh your app list in case it was running in the background. Go to backup / restore and look for the Hulu Plus 1.0.116 app and click on restore -> App+Data. Once you have installed do not open, let it go back to Titanium Backup to finish copying over the data. Once complete you can exit TB and start running Hulu Plus.
Known bugs and workarounds:
(Thanks to Gunkk)
Problem : I am getting a Buffering.....it appears you are having network issues.
Fix: Check to make sure you do not have AdFree running, if you do turn it off and see if that fixes the problem
(Thanks to robotnoize)
Problem : If you are running a ROM that already comes with AdFree you will get the buffering issue.
Fix : Reinstall AdFree and then disable and it should work fine (Confirmed working with Android Revolution)
Download File:
Link provided by ebatr8: Hulu Plus 1.0.116 verified to work on HTC Sensation

The apk works to browse, but you'll get an unsupported device message as soon as it boots. Nobody has cared enough to modify build.prop or the apk itself (which I don't encourage) since it came out.

You need to use titainium back and restore this app with its data then log in to your account and you should be good to go, it came from the Droid inc 2 forums, unzip and put into the titainium back up folder after you have installed titainium backup and gave it root permissions

It is a backup from a hulu plus supported phone since its already checked for compatibility it lets use it no issues

Thanks, it installed fine thru TB but its still giving the video playback not supported on this device. Guess I have no choice but to wait for official support. Thanks again though.

I got the same issue and I went back and reinstalled you have to make sure your restoring missing app data as well otherwise your just installing the app try again trust me it works
Sent from my Htcclay's SuperLite 4G using XDA App

I've restored it on just about every Rom on this forum, run the batch that says restore all apps with data make sure the app+data bubble is selected for just the hulu plus apk and it should work oh and make sure all three files in the zip are in the titainium folder but not in its own folder

Which is one of the great things about a development community, especially a great one like XDA. We don't have to wait for "THEM" to support us, we have each other to support "US".

Told ya =P lol

Any ideas?

Op you should update the first post with this method so other sensation users can find how to get this working on there sensations, also update it with the adfree issue that was just mentioned, I forgot to say that when I mentioned how to install.

If you had backed up with Titanium Backup, just restore missing apps and data.

I didn't though. Any way to get the old market?

Which version are you looking for? StrifeSoldierIIV has offered to pull free apks for anyone who needs them and I might still have an older market apk in my dl folder.

Which ever version was the old style tablet market view before it changed to the look of the phone.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

someone on another forum had a similar issue... did a factory reset and restarted, then re-activated the google account and everything loaded correctly except a couple free apps... those they were able to reload via the web-market
good luck, and report back - I'm awaiting my xoom (hopefully tomorrow, but likely Mon/Tue) so interested in what works and what doesn't.

Done it already, no luck. Wife has the same apps not downloading.

Can you post an image/dump/nandroid of the system and boot from HLK75C?
I'm running HLK42B from the pilot 4G launch and would like to upgrade to this new version they are sending out now.

How do I do a system dump? I am not rooted, but intend to re-root as soon as I get the right files.

Hooray For The Old Market App!
I go to the Android Market for Android Apps. When I got the updated app on my G2, I got used to it. But I never liked it. Yes, I'm sure I could have gone back, but it wasn't a big issue with me.
I don't buy movies on the Android Market
I don't buy books on the Android Market
I do get free apps and paid apps on the Android Market and that's what my market app does.
Hooray for the older, simpler app!

Im using the android market from undead's rom. Its good but its very buggy. Switching back to older version

I was actually able to find everything I was looking for here:

Just replace the file (of course make sure you backup, just in case) and restart the phone. The vending.apk is located in \system\app

Versión 3.2.0 is out already.

I'm not sure that worked. It kept FCing so I had to revert back and it was still FCing. Probably tomorrow, I'm going to try again.
