I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but i uninstalled gmail and google talk with titanium backup, and it seems after that I can't update apps via Market.
What do I have to do to be able to update my apps again?
Please read the removing apps safely thread before removing... You're not supposed to remove any google related apps... You have to restore them to get market d/w(s)
How do I get them back? Do I have to wipe everything?

Better to do a repair via PC companion...even if you restore the apps , you can experience problems..
I'm rooted... can I still repair?

i think you have to unroot before repairing or you brick your phone, im sure i read it in the 'safe to remove apps' thread
btw, i have removed the same apps as you and my market still works, i havent removed gtalkservice.apk though....
why android 2.2.1 no timescape and backup&restore one????
anyone can giv me this 2 apk for android 2.2.1...
Excuse me please, what? Nobody want such things in Froyo. Sony made no version for Froyo because they don't want to supply the Xperia X10 with Froyo.
Forgot such crap apps.

If you want this crappy features try the stock SE rom
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
There is no version of Timescape or Mediascape that will work with 2.2.
You will have to use 2.1 if you actually want to use the SE bloatware.

LMAO!! Timescape? Dude... are you okay? ^^
LOL ^^ That's really funnny ^^
for backup&restore you have xRecovery
agree with my austrian friend, who posted before me
no one likes that laggy **** app, called time/mediascape
backup & restore apps are free in the market..
its so laggy, and drains so much battery. why do you want that?
If you really want SE's junk then go back to stock rom. Though I cant see why someone would want to do that..

did you make a backup on xrecovery first before your new rom? Make another backup of your current situation, then go back to prior backup, save contacts to your sd card (which you should always do anyway) by clicking the menu button while in your contacts app and clicking "export", then to sd card. Then go to the most recent backup, go into contacts app again and click import from sd card. Voila, all fixed...
everybody hate it! LOL....
even on my stock 2.1 rom, i've deleted mediascape and use the original gallery and music player instead
If only Timescape was more optimized, it could have been a great app. I mean you have to admit, it is aesthetically pleasing.
i must agree
the eye candy is really nice to look at
just that the laggin it brings is unbearable
It has nothing to do with Froyo, you couldn't install Timescape, Mediascape and Backup and Restore on 2.1 AOSP either. They're signed to only work on SE ROM. You will have to reinstall a ROM based on stock-SE firmware and backup your contacts in another way.
Easiest way is to sync contacts with google account, so they'll be automatically restored on every ROM when you sign into your account. Other way is to export them into a vcf-file on your SD card, like someone said before.
I don't really know about backing up messages, but there are lot of free apps on the market to backup and restore these. Just don't use Titanium Backup, since it caused force closes on message apps for some people after restoring the messages.

Did you log into your google account? If so and you open the market and they don't automatically download...
Did you make a backup of all your apps before you flashed BAMF (titanium backup)? If not...
Did you make a backup of your nand (nandroid) before flashing BAMF?
If not, unfortunately you will have to redownload all of them again.
My wife just received a x2 as a replacement for her x. It has froyo on it, if I root it to restore some apps with ti backup from a previous back up, and then do the gb ota will there be any problems other than losing root.

If I understand correctly you will not be able to use titanium backup to restore what you back up if you lose root, so backing up seems like a waste

You should sbf back to Froyo and update to gingerbread pre-root if you don't wish to lose app data.

Haven't done the ota yet, still running froyo. Was going to, root, restore some apps that are no longer available in the market, and then ota. She does not care about having a rooted phone, she just doesnt wamt to lose those apps. If I knew how to pull them from the phone I would just do that, but I'm no developer. They're books mostly. I have a thundercrap, so I'm not that familiar with the moto stuff.
Titanium Backup is a root app. If you backup with Titanium backup, do the OTA to GB and lose root how do you plan on restoring what you backed up?
Like EvilTim said earlier, what is the sense of backing up if you do not plan on running GB rooted?
Already have a backup from old phone, am going to use old sd card and restore from ti before I do the ota. I just want to make sure if I do the ota over a rooted froyo all that will happen is lose root. On the tbolt if you flash an ota over some rooted roms it will brick you, and I don't want that to happen. If this won't work can someone tell me how to pull a market downloaded app from the phone so it can be installed on the new phone. I have root explorer on the old phone if that helps.
Verizon recommends you do a factory reset before upgrading, while this may not be necessary, if you encounter an issue after upgrading you will most likely have to sbf and start over

I have never done a factory reset before an ota, but that's a new one to me. This was somewhat helpful, I think ill just tell her it's not possible to save it.
what apps is she trying to save? if it's not available in the market, you can always find the apk on the net. if it's books, save the books from your sd card to your hd and then put them back on the sd card after you update to gb.
It doesn't seem people are understanding what your're asking.
If you have a rooted Froyo phone you can restore a Titanium backup of apps from another phone (using that phone's SD card). Then you can do an OTA update to Gingerbread. Those apps will still be available, but you will lose root.
You may want to use P3's rooted GB though... there may be other apps she wants to backup/restore in the future with Titanium.
Thank you xeno, you understood.

I'm pretty sure that in order to restore those apps into the new GB phone, you'll need root. Titanium Backup will not run without root, as it needs to make changes to both system files and permissions.
It didn't work, exactly. However, I improvised. By going into the ti backup directory and going through the files I extracted the apk files and that turned then them into installable apks. Lost the data, so games were started from beginning, but they were installed.

So, you're saying you restored the files to a rooted 2.2.2 phone and then did an OTA update to 2.3.3? That should work for keeping apps.
If you didn't restore before going to OTA 2.3.3 then I don't think Titanium would work for you.
Yes what you are wanting to do will work root restore than ota

Im trying to do the OTA update to gingerbread on a rooted Droid 2 Global. I have removed a lot of bloatware on there, restored some, but the update is still failing every time. Id rather not flash back to stock as I dont want to lose my contacts, pics, etc... is there a way how I can see what the update is failing on? Or, alternatively, how can I backup all my data and restore it in gingerbread?
Thanks.
Contacts can be sync in using gmail, picture is saved in SD. OTA normally for unrooted phone. You can the titanium backup to backup and restore your Apps.

If you are rooted the OTA update from verizon wont work. You would have to SBF to froyo and then do the update.
You can download pre-rooted SBF files from team black hat that will get you around the problem also. They have an app on the market where you can download them.
