[Q] Restore market apps with new jcase's GB release?

I'm using the latest GB release from jcase and it seems everyone is using TiBU to restore their apps, but I'd like to have Google automatically restore them from the market. Anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks.

Well the procedure would be to go to the Market on your phone, and look at My Apps. I believe if it recognizes the updated phone as the same phone, all your downloaded apps will show and/or start updating. If they don't show up in My Apps, you can always sign on the web market. The downloaded apps will be listed there under your account, and you can push them manually... not automatic, but only a few clicks to get them all back.

I went to settings/ applications/ market/ force close and data. Everything restored.

Depends on how you have your phone setup...
I think its if Settings -> Privacy -> back up my settings... and the other one there are checked, that the apps will auto come back down if you wipe or flash your phone and reset it up with the same ID. (Not always the best option to have enabled when you are wiping your phone because an APP is causing a problem.)
Another alternative... Appbrain Market... if you install it and sync it, it keeps track of your apps. You can use it to remember and trigger installs of all your Market apps. You can also view/edit/copy your lists from your PC.
If you use the Amazon App Store to purchase/install apps, it keeps track of your purchases and Free installs. But remember that those are NOT seen as purchased via Android Market, so you'd need to use Amazon App Store to install those "paid for" apps first, otherwise if you try to install via Android market (like when using Appbrain) you'll be purchasing them again.
I end up using a combo of Appbrain and Amazon's app store.. So after wipe and add my accounts, I install Amazon's app store, and install any purchased(or free app per day) apps from there. Then I install Appbrain to install any Free/Purchased apps from Google Android Market.

Why do app's re-install when running new ROM or after wiping??

So I went from Revolution HD to the Energy ROM and I noticed that all my apps would try and re-install themselves, even after I did a cache wipe, data reset/wipe, and dalvik cache wipe in CWM.
When I first ran the ROM and chose the settings, I would not allow google to backup, synch, etc automatically, I chose to do everything manually. And some of these apps are not paid versions or anything. I even formatted my mini-sd card and removd the Titanium app/data backups and the apps would STILL try to re-install themselves!??!

is your android market linked to your gmail. not the phone, the market, if so android remembers which apps you dl and will send automatically.

And there is no way of deleting this backup either, no matter what it says when you clear the check box for backup. That'll delete your settings on the phone but NOT the Market. Bloody annoying if you wanna start from scratch. By all means keep a note of what I've bought but if I wanna stop using certain apps then let me do it!!!

No way of getting around that. All apps will download automatically that has been linked to your gmail. From my experience, anyways...

Meant to add - OP, good team

Thanks for the reply guys.
Has it always been like that or is it a new feature with the new version of the Market?? I dont remember that happening when I had my old G1??

It came in with the last version of the Market. Handy for a lot of things but not for others!!

If you skip logging into google when you run through the setup, you can avoid the automatic reinstall of apps. (Add your google account manually after setup is complete.)

good observation, i thought it was strange when my apps didnt sync automatically after my last setup... now it makes sense, will definitely keep this in mind, super usefull info thanks!

I jump into the Market right after I flash a new ROM and hit stop and it cancels all the downloads. If you change ROMs a lot and let it download all the apps it'll run up your data usage and get you throttled. That's what happened to me anyway.

I didnt know that either. Good thing I only flash new ROMS at home and do any Market stuff over wifi.
But if I were to backup with Titanium, flash a ROM, skip the Google registration, and re-load my apps/data with Titanium, does that use network data??

No, using titanium backup does not use network data.

Any way to hold an update in Market?

So I noticed that the latest Tweetdeck update disables the ability to post longer than 140 characters. Is there a way to tell market I don't want to update the app? The problem arises in that there are a number of other apps which are due for automatic update. But because of Tweetdeck I'll have to save the apk, uninstall, update all.

I use the 3party app to disable it.
maybe u could try it, download "lidroid tool box" from market, & disable the update notice from Auto Start.

Open the market, Menu > My Apps > Pick the app > look for the check box that says "Allow Automatic Updating" and uncheck it

It's not that it was automatically updating. It's that if there is a list of many apps to be updated, I can't use the update all functionality as the app is in the list that is up for updating. Instead I have to manually choose to update each app.

What bugs me is I have unchecked automatically updating for every application on my tab and it still checks for updates on every start.
"Updates Available" appears every time......yes I know, Don't need them!

ah... yea I dont know what to tell you on that one. maybe find a 3rd party app that allows a little more control over it? I'm sure there's one out there that can do it.

*install Astro
*backup your app (tweetdeck you said? i'll just say that )
*uninstall tweetdeck
*install the backed-up APK
*it will no longer show up in your 'my apps' list.

Return to the Market with me, then I can not download because the connection timeout error.

How to clean list of "Not Installed" apps on Play Store(Market)

Guys, tell me how I can clean list of "Not Installed" apps because I uninstalled these apps long ago and I don't want to see it there.

Unfortunately, you can't.
Amazon's app store has that capability, but google didn't build it into theirs.

That mean when i use the "AUTOMATIC RESTORE" function on my phone, the phone will automatically install "ALL" apps i accepted before?

No, it depends on if you set the backup to restore when setting up the ROM...
If you don't then it would just take you to the Play / Market where you can go to My Apps and install the ones you purchased first before re-installing the others. (The above only applies if you don't back up your apps using Titanium or other such apps).

google need to sort that. it's a major bugbear & such a dumb oversight.

Auto Install All My Apps

Is there a way to force auto install all my apps from the Play Store? It would be easier to have them all install and then use an Auto Uninstaller to remove the ones I don't really want than it is to download them all one by one.
I know sometimes when you flash a new rom or something, it takes over and auto downloads them all for you right away (Cyanogen for examples does that) but the ROM I'm on now never had that prompt come up.
Thanks for the help

You can use Titanium Backup Pro. Once all your apps are backed up with it you can batch install ALL of them (all apps together with the paid version, one by one with the free). It has other features tho to use other than that but its good for batch installing apps.

yea i know about titanium but i was hoping there was a way to do it from the play store rather than from backed up apks (that way we're at the same time using the most up to date versions of each app). like the way cyanogenmod automatically downloads every app you own from the play store right away the first time you open the play store.

You can use app2zip from the play store. It put whatever apps you want into a flashable zip so you can easily flash in cwm.

All of the stock-based ROMs I've used (currently using MikTouch 0.7 based on the OTA 1.63.531.2 ROM) have done this. As soon as I sign into my Google account, it begins syncing the contacts and downloading all my apps. That's why I typically let the phone sit for about 15-20 minutes after flashing a ROM and signing in.

Well it's all good. I already have pretty much everything installed one by one. I'm using Virtuous Inquistion and it never started to sync all my old apps, but it's all good. Everythings working great. And I'll back it all up with titanium for next time around.

I don't know how I did it but I think it was something like this. You just hit back up on the normal settings and google will restore it?
I've flashed my second ROM after I hit backup and all the apps started downloading from the PlayStore after the first log in. Does anyone know how to officially do this?
I know that this can be done using ADB (don't know how to use it but I know how to use the I9300 Int Tool Kit).
Going to hold off trying app2zip until the developer emails and confirms SuperNexus and Paranoid Android 4.1.2 on Siyah 1.7 is supported..It doesn't look to stable!
:highfive:
Btw, there is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531880 if you didn't know..

I was wondering about this as well: recently wiped and flashed a stock ROM and when I launched the Play Store for the first time, it began downloading all the apps that were in my account. I tapped 'cancel' as I didn't wan't all of them right away, then I had to install them one by one.
So it would be good if you could control this behaviour - for example to be able to check which apps you want downloaded and to install them automatically, yet in a bit more controlled manner.

I came to the conclusion that I'm okay with Titanium Backup for that purpose - bought the pro license a while ago - it can batch restore what you choose. It's slower than I expected at that, but at least you can leave the phone while the job runs.

for some reason this time all my apps auto installed.
shrugs. think i need to flash again, ill backup apps jsut in case, but hopefuly itl auto install again and i can delete the backup and only backup the data, not the apps.

Best way I have found to do this is to go to Settings > Backup & reset
Once there delete the existing account that exist.....
Wait a few minutes and it'll prompt you to put a backup account in....then reenter the same account.
This will prompt google to look at all your apps you currently own and the ones on your device and if not there will download it for you.
I discovered this when I factory reset my phone and when I restarted my phone it connected to a wi-fi network that required a sign-in process and as a result google attempted to download but was unable to.
Hope this helps.

Has anyone found any solution? Cause I have Titanium backup pro but I have read that it is not the best thing to restore apks... better reinstall them (especially for battery life)... There applist apps in market but they just store the link they don't download them automatically....
And I have apps on 2 seperate google accounts so just restoring during first sign in doesn't work well

Titanium backup is great. i use it. works great for installing apk's. but if you want to do it through the app store you have to let it run right when you first have the option. if you try to to it later youll have to do them all individualy

With free license, unfortunately, yeah, that's it, but PRO allows you to batch install and restore data for a chosen amount of apps. It also allows a creation of a recovery-flashable image, which is, from my experience, the fastest to deploy, but takes a while to create.

Well I install several ROMs and I found out that sometimes the Google Play store messes up before restoring all your apps. What I do is got into setup and remove my google account and then just readd it and off it goes downloading and syncing all your apps.

I've yet to try to see what happens if I detach apps from Play Store using TB. If it would prevent Play from rushing to download all the stuff (usually 100+ apps) when I first boot up a new install, it would be nice.
