How can I restore restored apps with market links

I've always just let my apps automatically restore but I would like to use my backup of apps with my backup pro. But once they restore they don't show downloaded in the market. How can I change this?

Go to settings > applications > manage applications > all - find market and google framework services. Clear cache/data for both...reboot. Open market.
Wait a few mins and all the apps will show up in the downloaded section.

This was happening to me yesterday.
I went to Manage Applications->All->Market, and then clicked "Force Stop", and then "Clear Data". I reloaded the market, accepted the terms, and everything showed up again.
If just clearing the data doesn't work, force stop it and then clear. That worked for me.

okay guys that worked, thanks. I have another question though now, so because I didn't want my apps to automatically install, I used my alternate gmail account(the one my paid apps aren't associated with) to first log in with the market so I could download My Backup Pro. After restoring my apps, I logged into my original main gmail(the one the paid apps are associated with) and my paid apps still haven't showed up. What can I do to make them show up?

Hard reset / wipe and use the right Gmail first.
Sorry but the first one you put on is the one and only Gmail linked to the market. You must use that one if you want your paid apps.
Also: I know you use my backup.. but titanium backup has a "market doctor" feature that finds missing market links and lets you re-establish them.

is there anything out there that will keep track

is there anything out there that will keep track of the free apps on my phone. I know the maket has all the paid apps stored. BUt the free apps seem to be "remember what you had and go find it again" Am I wrong? I've got a lot of very occasional use or background stuff, and I would hate to esort to pen and paper to write it all down.

The market stores both. I wiped my phone last night and when I rebooted all the apps I had downloaded previously reinstalled themselves, both paid and free.
I cant speak though if you uninstalled an app and then wanted to reinstall it, if it will stay forever in your market.

install appbrain and sync it.

I had this same problem a while. I had to tell it to sync to gmail (or Google, however It's worded) and if auto sync is turned off you have to manually tell it to sync. If i decline the backup to Google my market remembers paid apps, if i accept it and sync it at least one time, they are all in the market.

go to market.android.com in your browser
sign in with the account you use to make purchases on your phone.
top right, click 'my market account'
everything you ever downloaded is there. you can reinstall by opening the app and it will open up on your phone. hope this helps.

[Q] Safe to remove Email & Internet apps?

Is it safe to uninstall the default Email and Internet apps with Titanium Backup? I have suitable replacements for both - Chrome and Gmail, and all those two are doing is taking up space.
I am aware that some apps should not be removed, I wanted to double check if these two are on that list before I remove them.
Any thoughts?

I freeze them, I haven't noticed any problems.
You can Google the apps that are safe to freeze. Some people get extreme while others just trim down. If you notice any side effects, just defrost them.

I just uninstalled both and rebooted, no errors; everything works perfectly fine. I would back them up just in case, though.

Thanks for the tips, I backed them up and uninstalled. So far so good!

Apps sharing straight to Hangouts

Hey everyone,
I'm having an issue with apps not giving me the ability to choose what app I want to use when I click share. If I try to share a webpage in chrome it goes directly to Hangouts, it doesn't let me choose gmail or twitter, etc. Same in Feedly and other apps.
Does anyone else have this issue? It is very annoying and I can't figure out a fix.

Same problem here.
I noticed it after installing chrome beta, but it could have been a coincidence.
I tried clearing the defaults and the settings for the Hangouts app, no luck...
Disabling the app from the settings restores the usual list of apps, but I do need hangouts!
