I used my backup pro to restore apps after a new rom. Now all of the apps I got through the amazon market are showing as purchased in the google market. Is there a was to completely remove them from the google market. I tried uninstalling bus as soon as it is reinstalled the google market thinks its was installed from there and wants to give it an update, which fails. Also, a few apps i got from amazon for free I want to actually purchase to support the DEV and they already show as purchased in google and will not let me do so. Any thoughts?
*edit* ignore my sig, its old
Never used backup pro but titanium backup has the option to delete market link from specific apps.

Well if you paid for them you can just re-download them from the Amazon market instead of restoring them.

I have same issue. For some apps I uninstalled them, then reinstalled them from the amazon marketplace. It didn't work. They still show up in the android market, and it says they need updates (even though they were just reinstalled from amazon marketplace). I think what's needed is a Titanium backup option to "fix amazon market link", or some other way to accomplish that.

You need to disable and re-enable your device from the web site. It's happened to me a couple of times.

...looks like it worked. Thanks.
By deactivate do you mean set it to not show in menus? That's the only option I see

He means goto amazon app store on a pc and disable your phone from there, then reenable.

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.

I used GetJar to download some free popular apps. I was bored using SQLite one day and went into GetJar. I did not like all info it seemed to be storing about my usage patterns. Ie, how often i open each app and when.
Anybody know about GetJar?
Right when that "Market" came out I used it and downloaded a few things shortly after I started getting the AirPush adds in my notif bar. I uninstalled the apps and the GetJar Market and haven't used it since.
You could disable its reporting in autostarts

Or droidwall. Some kind of firewall app

I use autostart sparingly but another reason I ask is because after installing Tapatalk from GetJar, all my phones notification sounds were changed to random 15 second sections of random songs in my library. I was at work, my phone rang, and all of a sudden Hatebreed was screaming through my speaker haha. Basically I uninstalled the market too.
Weird, I use it with no issues what so ever. I only use it to get the free versions of known apps like Tapatalk though. No adds in my notification bar.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I used it, but disabled it starting up when the phone started, never got any ads, however I would still find it starting up intermittently, so I uninstalled, I would install again if I found an app I like on there and uninstall after i need it
It's a battery hog. That I can say. I second thewarhawk's recommendation. Install if needed, uninstall afterwards.
+ 1 on no ads & battery hog. I always freeze it after I checked / downloaded something.
Never had a problem till trying to download a ROM and it tried to re-download itself while I was downloading the new darkside. It was uninstalled at time but the apk was still on sd card WTF.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I've noticed this app doing some questionable things. So I use it to download apps and then freeze it. When I wanna use it again I just unfreeze it.

weird, i've had getjar installed for months now and i haven't experienced a single thing anyone here has reported.
downloaded a few apps from it, but nothing major. Illusia, Swifkey X, a few other random games.

Me either, I haven't got any problem with getjar.
But the problem is they do not support update when downloaded apps are updated.
Even its weekly free apps are old versions..
Is it illegal market like a black market?
If it is, then I should stop using it..
But still no problem with it, yet.

Yeah. That's cause its a free app. The apps are tagged so that market knows it wasn't actually paid for.

Getjar has announced to devs they're working on a full app that will include an update system.

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.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
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"

Market links apps that have been downloaded&installed outside market.how to stop it?
Hi,
This has been Bugging me for a while now... I'm a confident android user... and have had my HTC desire for over a year and a half, and now have an Asus transformer...
Basically, I have an app that I didn't download and install from the market, however, the market says that I have "purchased" the app and gives me a download button. If I click it I get an error message. An app in question is setCPU, I have downloaded it from xda, but now would like to buy the app to support the developer and get market updates.. at the moment this seems impossible for me to do... It is linked to my account as "purchased" even though I haven't actually purchased it...
This is the same with another app that I downloaded a while ago, and now I have some spare cash I would like download the app, get updates, and more importantly support the developer...
Also, PIRACY IS BAD, THESE ARENT PIRATED APPS.. SUPPORT DEVELOPERS!
Sorry for long post, and any mistakes, I wrote all this on my phone...
Hopefully someone can help me...
Many thanks,
Matt

thanks for the reply... what if the market doesn't have an uninstall button and only an open or update button...

In fact that didn't work for me... I uninstalled it via the market and it just said purchased... I then clicked install and it gave me an error...

I googled and found this
- Unlink the app from the market with titanium backup (long press on the app in titanium backup), uninstall the app
- Go to app setting menù and click on market apk, here you have to clear data/cache and uninstall the update
Now if you have the last market version installed by default, you have to download and install the previous version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=743249&d=1318041888
Now you have to find the app you want to buy on the old market before the phone update it again (if the app price is different don't worry, they will charge you the real price). Do this for every app you want to buy

thanks a lot... This has half worked.. I purchased the app, an got the order receipt email, but then market has stopped working, and is force closing. I will have to go back to the up to date market, download the app, then back to the old market and so forth... I'm actually fixing permissions at the moment, whih i doubt will help, but worth a shot!
anyway, thanks so much dude...!

I haven't seen a list of bloatware / AT&T apps that are safe to remove. So I thought I will ask:
- Which apps that you know are NOT SAFE to remove?
- I keep seeing in the task bar a double-arrow icon, indicating that an AT&T app is checking for software update. As a matter of fact, I did receive a message from it about a new software update. Which .apk I need to disable for this?
Again, this is only for the bloatware.
I deleted everything that had at&t in front of it. At&t messaging, my at&t, at&t navigation and the at&t update services thats the blue and red arrows you are seeing. I did this through task manager.

Thanks for the info. No problem so far with freezing these AT&T apps, including AT&T Update Services?
BTW, when you said "delete", did you mean "freezing it with Titanium Backup" or you actually REMOVE the .apk?
I froze the above apps using TB, but it is still shown in Google Play as being installed and needing update.
You can search XDA for "apps safe to remove". The SGS-II forums have a spreadsheet that works for the note.
Sent from my A200 using xda premium
With Google Play, the feature to DETACH from Market no longer works. So even if the app is frozen, it is still shown in Google Play, especially if there is an update.
This applies to ALL bloatware. After a while, you'll see tons of these in your Google Play list and you no longer can select
"Update All".
Can we SAFELY move the .Apk from /system/apps?
I deleted them. I froze them first and then deleted ecerything with at&t on it through task manager.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I delete a majority of the bloatware, especially if I know I will never use it.
How did you DELETE these built-in apps?
There is NO uninstall feature, even when accessing it from System --> Applications --> Manage Applications.

If you have root on your phone, many third party apps will allow you to delete them. A popular one around here is Titanium Backup. I highly suggest installing this and purchasing the key (although the free version will work just as well). Its a staple in apps to install for rooted phones.
I deleted them through task manager. I used the uninstall feature. Try it.

same here, social hub deleted and no problems........and of course all the AT&T crap since I'm with TMobile
Just a helpfull hint for safety.
Personaly I would use titanium backup (in batch) to freeze apps you may want to uninstall.. leave them frozen for a few days to ensure there are no problems.. if once your sure there are no problems you can uninstall them (delete).. Uninstall can be done most of the time though the task manager .. but if that does not work titanium backup will most defently do it..
As someone else pointed out.. I did a search for i717 app safe to remove and got this nice spread sheet..
