Linking a manual-installed app to the market. - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI,
I have a downloaded app and installed it through astro file manager. I actually installed launcher pro 0.7.8.1 as I got a error while installing from market. as I try to install from market, it says application not installed. So ii tried it that way. So is there a way to get the market link of that app??

Moved to Q&A as not development.
You can't really do this, as you need to install the app via the market. It's a form of piracy protection.

Actually, he can do it, by using the latest version of Titanium Backup and option is working fine, tried it myself.
Titanium Backup will attach apps to market as long as apk wasn't modified. It also works for paid apps, but in that case purchase won't be authorised when you wish to update and Market will present the Buy Now dialog.

But that didn't work for me... I don't know why but it is a free app....

It isn't really meant to work, so I can't really help. Either way, paid apps won't work with this method.
I'll try it with a free app myself, though I don't quite think it will work... not sure why, just a feeling

I have noticed that when I restore a nand backup that all my apps come back and the market recognises them.

Hoh, thats easy you've got 3 ways :
1. Clear all in the android market ( settings-applications-android market ) Clear.
2. If you got rooted phone you can do this with titanium backup what is free version in the market to, then run in this ( you must download busybox for TB ), then click All Apps and on every app click one time longer on it and click delete market link. On every app you want you can do the same.
3. Uninstall android market by TB.
You have a lot of ways for.

Not sure what you mean with #1. Clearing just wipes the cache, but it'll get rebuilt as soon as you launch the Market again, and so you'll still have all your apps showing updates.
And #3 is just a bad idea, unless you never want to update or download any market app, ever.
The best option is #2 (assuming you have a rooted phone). By deleting the market link, the app will pretty act in the same way as if you had installed it from a 3rd party source (like downloading it from XDA). It's still work fine, but won't show up in the market at all.

[Q] I think I've been a bit silly!!

ok, I downloaded a cheeky .apk of a paid for app so I could play around with it before buying, now I've got a bit of a problem though. I want to buy the app but when I go into the market place it shows up as purchased already and worse still, if I try and download the update or instal after uninstalling it throws up an error. I've tried uninstalling and downloading etc. but no joy. At this point I just want to pay for the damned thing and get my updates, any clues on how I might go about doing that??
What on must do is first backup he old marketplace using titanium backup. Then freeze the market updater. Uninstall the current market you have. Put this old version of the market that I attached under system/app. Reboot and purchase the app. Then restore original market and unfreeze market updater.
Edit: Added apk

Excellent I had some problems getting the 'vending.apk' to install, both the version you uploaded and one I found on the web but got around it by upgrading to ICS which seemed to come with the old market place on it

[Q] searching an app to backup applications

Hi all!
I am searching an application that allows me to backup the .apk files of both user and system applications like AppWererabbit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2196069&page=4). The problem is that i need this app to be compatible with android versions below 4.0, i.e. android 2.3.X.
I have already installed titanium backup on my phone, but i miss the ability to set an automatic .apk backup when each system/user app is updated. I think that to keep .apk files of older versions of the same app could be usefull. Anyone has some suggestion, please?
Have you tried using helium?

I have searched for this app in the google play store, but it says the app is only compatible with android 4.0 and above. So, it doesn't work for me.

Thanks for your reply but, as i have already mentioned in the first post of the thread, i have already have TB. Since TB is "THE" backup application, i have searched through the settings but i did not find the ability to set an automatic app backup when app is updated. If you are saying that such an option is available in TB, please tell me how to find it. Thanks.

I personally use ES File Explorer to backup my apps. Theres an option to backup app data too but thats only for rooted phones. But I'm not sure if it'll work on Android versions below 4.0

As file manager i do usually use ES, but i didn't know it had such a function. You can schedule app backups with ES?
I don't think you can do that.

That is the problem. I searched through the option of ES File Manager but i did not find such a feature. The ability to schedule the app backup (as well as the ability to set an auto-backup when updating) is essential to me.

[Q] How can I restore to original Google Play Store?

Hello,
So I've downloaded the black themed play store, was so excited when I flashed it. But now I want the original play store back! I have a back up of the original play store but once I install it, the app wont be installed because its a different signature..Any Suggestions?
Try removing the Play Store apk you have installed (with titanium or something like that) then install your backup apk.

Hi, a few days back, i deleted my backed up playstore. How could I restore the orignal playstore. I mean, the first version which would automatically update itself later on. Could anybody attach the oldest version here ?

I guess i didnt mention it correctly. I installed the latest market apk n pushed it as system app. So, since the base apk is the new one, thr wont b any option to uninstall updates. But I need that thing, so could anybody upload the version of the market that comes up with note2 stock. Without updates.

I still have that problem, however i have deleted the "cracked app" and replaced it with the original PlayStore. Is it possible to get the original play store back (the play store that updates itself.)

Download this apk and install. Then open and choose third option. Click Install. Your phone will reboot. This will fix your issue.

Thanks for your help. Have you tried it yourself? And does it auto update

Can't install APK files outside of Play Store?

I recently upgraded from an Android 7 phone (Moto G5) to an Android 9 phone (Moto G7). I like to back up all of my apps that I plan on using in the future, using a backup app like ML Manager, and installing them locally with a file browser, like FX. On my new phone, there are some APK backups that I can't install from a file browser; even if I actually download them though the Google Play Store, back them up, uninstall them, and then try to install that backup on the same phone, it won't work. Not every app does this, and at first, I thought it was only paid apps that were giving me problems, so I chalked it up to DRM, but a bunch of free apps won't work, either.
I've tried alternate methods of installation, too, like using a terminal emulator (see the screenshot, using the app Manual Camera as an example), and ADB on a PC, which results in an INSTALL_FAILED_VERIFICATION_FAILURE error. I've searched for this error and followed directions, like disabling Play Protect (which I never enabled on this phone, anyway), but nothing works. Is this just how Android is now? Did something change so that it's harder to install backups? I tried all of this on my wife's phone, too, which also runs Android 9, and I got the same errors. Any help would be appreciated, because I'm out of ideas. Thanks in advance!

Some apps are different for noghat and pie Android
So there is no grantee that you can install all APK that you backed up on noghat for pie
Download them from Google
It should completely work
Make sure that you have free space on internal storage and when you wanna download them make sure that download arm/arm64 version

Yeah, downloading from the Play Store definitely works, I'm just curious as to why backing up an app downloaded from the Play Store won't install from the APK *on the exact same device.* I'm a stickler for keeping local backups of everything, but I'm more curious than anything at this point.

Well there is a another reason
That is some app install with APK
And other one install with APKS
which you should install them with SAI and have two or three file to install (even more)
And when you backup from apks apps it doesn't backup all files to install it again
But at play store it install automatically

Holy crap, dude, I had NO idea that split APKs were a thing. I downloaded Split APK Installer from the Play Store, and I can make and restore local backups again. Thank you so much for the info, it was exactly what I needed!
