[Q] Help with updating apks??? - Vibrant Themes and Apps

Forgive me if this has already been covered, but I've searched and google'd this subject with no avail. I was wondering if it was at all possible to update or link apks to the market that were either pre-installed (via custom ROMs, switching phones) or pushed apks from forums and downloads (not directly from the market). I'm not sure if there are restrictions with doing such things. I just wanted to ask so I could get more understanding since you guys have more experience than I do. Thanks.

I have Titanium Backup Pro and I've tried it quite a few times but they don't show up in my installed apps list nor do the offer upgrades as a result. Has that worked for you?

I have mybackup pro and the toolbox on that restored the market link on some apps I got off the web so you can try that if Titanium backup didn't work.

Titanium Backup finally kicked in with linking my apk to the market. Now it's just my 'paid' apks that won't update without asking for payment options.

Missing paid market apps? (Sorry for all these questions!)

Just odined myself back to stock and installed Trigger. I was going through market and can't find several apps I had before loosing all my data. I'm missing Clockr Evolution, wolfram alpha FSU login (school app), and possibly more.... Those were some of my favorite apps, if anyone knows how to fix this, I'd love any ideas.
I had the same problem with stock froyo and so did a lot of people, but all my apps showed up on the market when I flashed bionix-v.

Not sure if this would work, but visit the android market website on your computer. It lists all of the apps you have previously purchased with the option to download them on your phone.

I actually tried the website. It tells me those Apps are vibrant incompatible... I'll try Bionix-v later on.

Market Problem

Hello guys . I presently use trigger 3.2 rom on my vibrant, but right from when I bought the phone with stock rom 2.1 I have never spotted paid apps in the market. I also notice there are some free apps too missing from my market e.g the CNN app. I use my vibrant in Nigeria and now that the android market is open for users here to purchase paid apps its more important that I get these problem solved. I have tried the Eris market fix but still no solution . All I see on my market is 'top free' and 'just in' apps.
Please, can anyone offer some help?

You might have already tried this, but I usually do this when I am having troubles with apps and such not showin up. Settings>Applications>Find Market>Clear data. Your market should restart.
Thanks mcmicham. But even after doing that, there is still no change. I have done it times over like you mentioned. I just can't view paid apps. All I see is 'top drew's apps. I need help!

I've actually put a topic too on this same issue. I used to use Dolphin HD and recently tried Opera. If I search for it its not there. I tried looking for Opera Full, Appbrain, and many others and they don't appear. I have used SGS Tools and tried the market fix and cleared cache, data and even had a update through my Rom that I thought would fix it and nothing. I have no clue what else to do???

Peecs121, I just Googled a lot now and found out that an app in the market can help
Its called 'market enabler'. Though its not permanent , but can fix your market to help you view both paid apps and missing ones. You can try it out. However, I am still open to whoever can help out in solving this permanently . A lot of other people here nigeria can view paid apps on their galaxy s. Why mine?

Try clearing data thru titanium backup. Then use market doctor also thru titanium backup. That usually works for me.
Trigger 3.3
Hey I figured it out!! In the market settings it was set wrong on the content filtering so I changed it to see all apps and there all back!! All the ones I have been searching for.

[Q] Hulu Plus App

I have tried looking around to find out how to get the hulu plus app on the nook color. Is there anyway to do this without adjusting the build.prop of the nook, or is that the only way to make it work? If that is the only way, can someone point me in the right direction to make that work or tell me any bad things that will occur by adjusting this.
Thanks.
Check rootzwiki forum. They have a version of thr hulu plus app that can be downloaded and restored using titanium backup . This version works on my nook color without editing the build.prop I think its in the thunderbolt forum.

Thanks, you reminded me of something, I remembered there was the app and titanium files on the inc2 area, got it working without adjusting a thing.

I was finally able to get it to work! Thanks for the info on the files in the inc2 area!

If you download the app and zip files from there, place the three individual zip files in titanium backup folder. If you already have hulu installed, clear data for the app first and then uninstall it and may need to reboot, I had to do so with the inc2. Install the apk given but do not open the hulu app yet. Restore titanium backup files and enjoy hulu plus

Thanks for posting this. Great help!
Thanks for the info guys.
Does this still work?
I have downloaded the files and use titanium to restore...
The app runs but gives me the "device not supported yet" banner.
I can use it to manage my account and all... but no play...
anyone?

[Q]Newest Titanium backup..

Not sure if this belongs in general but figured since it was a question it would be fine here.
Question is,
Newest patchnotes for titanium backup has destroying market links. Just curious as to what situation would I need to do something of the such?
thanks in advance
I've used it a couple times. When I restore my apps after resetting the phone, all the apps link to the market, including the ones I got from the Amazon Appstore. So those apps will show up in the market as having an update, and them the update will fail because I haven't purchased the app from the market. Breaking the market link makes the update option go away.
You could use it for pretty much any app you don't want the market to nag you to update.

Suppose I can see doing that. I will look into it a little but looks like it destroys all links and not selective links.
Touch and hold an app and you can select "detach from market"

[Request] Edmodo app

Nootlet is apparently not compatible with the Edmodo app as far as the market is concerned.
You would probably have to change your build.prop to spoof something else if it doesn't work. Check other threads on the specifics. Also, search the thread on how to install any app on the market.
*edit* Try going into your manage applications area and clearing data and cache from your market. I searched the app on the website market and it shows my NT as being compatible with it. (I am running cm7 also, so that might be why)
Tried your suggestion, no luck but thanks for the ideas. Stock bootleg rooted. Will investigate the build.prop spoof unless someone offers to slip me the .apk in the meantime.

Here is an extracted TiBU backup. Let me know if it works or if you need the entire backup. Mods, this is a free download on the market and not warez.
Edmodo
Perfect. Installed and running fine. You are my hero!
