My wife has an app for school on her old phone, ( rooted eris ). The app is "expired" but still works on that phone. She has recently upgraded to a droid charge and tried to download that app again, but was not able to because ( and she called the company ) they told her it is expired and cannot be activated on a new phone.
So, is there a way for me to find this and manually install it on the new phone? it is while she is registering a new installation of the apk that she gets denied.
Download titanium backup from the market on both phones. Backup the app on the Eris. Put Eris microsd card in the charge. Use titanium backup to restore the app. The caveat is the app must be designed to work on later versions of android.

I am trying to figure out the best way to transfer apps from my rooted Captivate to the Atrix. Titanium backup would be the natural choice, but it only works on a rooted phone which the Atrix isn't, at least for now. I could go to the android web page https://market.android.com/ and tell it to download each app separately. But I am wondering if there is a non rooted backup/restore app that will let me selectively backup/restore?? I say selectively because I do not want to restore those apps that require a rooted phone.
Then there is the question of the market place which saves your downloaded app list linked to your gmail account. I do not want market place to remember those apps I don't want on the Atrix. So the question is how do you instruct the market place to "forget" installed apps? The only way I know of would be to install ALL the apps via either a backup program or thru the web client, then de-install those from the phone I don't want which would then wipe them out from market place account so they will not keep re-appearing in my app list.
I should have my Atrix in my hands this Monday!
I would too like to know this. Thanks to anyone who knows the answer!
Try AppMonster.....there's a pro version as well
I would suggest App Brain personally...That's what I've been using during my time with my EVO.

Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
Actually, AppBrain and all those "add-on Markets" won't work with the Atrix out of the box. AT&T disallowed sideloading and that counts apps like that.
On the plus side, the Atrix has already been rooted (read the first topic in the Dev section of the Atrix forum)...so it lets you do anything you want.
Check the Atrix dev sub forum - They have root!

GREAT
OK looks like we are going to have our Atrix rooted and Titanium backup working but there is still the problem of the market links. There is some reference to market links in Titanium backup but not sure if that works to enable updates and there's still the issue of un-installed not wanted apps getting unregistered with market place. I had lost some apps and reinstalled with Titanium backup and I am not sure if I regained the market links or not. I am certainly not complaining and expect to spend many hours setting up the phone...thats part of the fun. Until a solution appears the best way to handle this may be to install the apps separately from the market place or via the web. I will try other programs others have suggested and post a solution here if found.
You can still sideload via ADB - so if you have the APK file it is simple to side load many.
How do you extract your own apk's? Been wondering this for a while now

App brain only side loads? I though by synching my account, it would allow me to re download all applications from the market that is how it checks for upgrades anyway.
I use.app brain to actually check for updates to apparently o had installed through Titanium, apparently that do NOT have market links.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
MyAppList
The free program MyAppList will make a text file of all the apps installed on your phone. I am going to un-install any apps i do not want installed on the Atrix. Then print out MyAppList. Then go to the market place on my Captivate and goto "my apps" so that the market updates what I do and do not have on the phone. When the Atrix arrives, I will register with my same email. Then on the Atrix i will go to the market place so it will update the installed list. Then I will go market place on the PC and install all of my listed apps, checking off each one on MyAppList as I go. The advantages are I will be sure to get all the apps, there will be no question as to what is or is not installed, the Atrix will automatically install the apps and the apps will get updates thru the market. I have 397 apps installed on the phone, maybe 225 of them are 3rd party apps so it may take a couple of hours to download and install them all but since the Atrix runs so quickly it may go a lot faster.
My Captivate is maxed out. I have a lot of widgets running and am constantly running out of memory. And then there is the lag problem which gets worse when you are running out of memory. With 1 gig of ram there is plently of memory with room to spare. This is going to be a very welcomed upgrade.
I am wondering exactly when the phones will arrive at the AT&T store. Are there Sunday deliveries? Monday is Presidents Day. I am going to the store tomorrow (Sunday) to see if they arrived and see if they will give it to me.....
I've had this problem since day one, and now it's getting irritating.
I just cannot seem to find some apps in the market. Like Stupid zombies. I found the game via AppAware market, followed the link there, but market says it cannot be found.
I'm running Froyo 2.2. I doubt so many apps are optimized for Gingerbread, because thats the only reason I can think of.

Appware probably didn't update and the app probably got taken off the market. I did a search and got no results.

It has something to do with tmobile and with our particular phone certain apps just wont work and the market wont let us see is for exaple i wanted a app called can knockdown that my friend has on his Nexus one and he can still see it in the market but i couldnt so i downloaded it off a alternative app market and it still wont install i have been told that if you take out your sim card it will work but it didnt work for me
This is due to Carrier or Country restrictions. This is your answer:
http://www.mediafire.com/?6gxudncfxz19aai
An app called Market Access. This app emulates to the android os (i.e. the market) that you are on another network, therefore you can download other things that ou could not view earlier.
This app requires rooting.
To use it, clear you cache (using something like CacheMate) and run the market access. Backup your current carrier code and choose another carreir.
After the successful emulation. Run the market and enjoy the stuff.
After you finish. re-emulate to your original carrier code using the market access Restore option. And its better to clean tha cache afterwards.
Hope this helps.
Market Enabler.. Similar app as mentioned above.
Okay so I tried Market Enabler. It does change my carrier since I can see the currency change, but I still can't see the app. I'll try a few more carriers.

Recently the last few times I've flashed a new ROM on my Tbolt, when I restore my apps using titanium, the apps wont show up in the market as installed. They work fine but the market doesn't think they're installed, and wont let me know if there's an update, so I have to manually reinstall each app individually.
Did they make a change to titanium? I've been using it for over a year now and just recently it started doing this.
I saw someone in an old thread from last year mention that you have to purchase the paid app to fix this, but I've been using the free version ever since and only recently encountered this issue.
Any ideas?

Make sure the option to backup market links is enabled. You can also use the app Market Doctor to fix links. Haven't tried it myself but a few other people have recommended it.
Is there a way of updating apps i have downloaded onto my sd card ? I have a few installed but cant update them because i did'nt get them from the apps market place
Thanks
SD card has nothing to do with it, they're simply not linked with the market entry. Titanium Backup has an option to fix it called "Market Doctor".
Does this work with any downloaded app and on any phone ?
I have a HTC HD2 windows phone but has been altered to run on android
Thanks
Well, any rooted phone... I've got no idea what it'll do if the device isn't. It has worked with any application I've restored so far, meaning applications that were either free or that I bought.
I've got no idea what it'll do if the app is not in your account... which wouldn't be a good idea to begin with.
Tried the titanium backup ,still cant update apps from sd card ?
Did you do long-press on app, Attach to market (forced) in Titanium?
Done that but it's asking me to pay for the update
That has to be a different issue... if it's in your account, the Market replaces all "Buy" buttons with ones saying "Purchased", no matter whether you actually have it installed. Is it listed under "My Apps" this way?
Where did you get the apps from in the first place?
If you got them from another app store ie. Getjar, Amazon etc. you can only update through that store, even though it may be available on the Android Market.
EDIT: Unless, of course, they're free. Then you can just download the app you want updating from the Market, which will then notify you of future updates.
I downloaded it from a file share torrent. The app itself costs money so was looking to try and upgrade for free .There have been quite a few updates from the one i have downloaded so all the functions wont work , i have the basic things working but not all
In that case let me congratulate you on obtaining a free virus. Hopefully Google is as good at reading logs as they are at reading webpages.

You know that what you're doing is illegal, right?
How can you expect updates for a paid app if you don't pay for it. People have to download it legally, crack it, and upload it to fileshare sites for every single update, so the update process isn't going to be fast.
I suggest you stop stealing and pay for the apps you want.
The actual app i downloded is free ,i am new to all this and only found out after downloading it ,dont think downloading free apps from a share site is illegal
Have a look at an app called Atrackdog. There are 2 versions one of which is to update apps on the SD card. The apps don't have to be from the market as far as I am aware.

I have got a new phone, and I want to transfer one app in particular over from my old one. One problem: The app is a paid one, and its not longer in the play store.
Can anyone help?
Or possibly suggest an app that allows to browse the web, and download most any type of video found, all while having a handy popup blocker.
Before, I tried finding the .apk file and just transferring it and installing but it didnt work fully.
Here's what happened: The app comes in 2 parts, the main app and "plugins" for the app that allow it to download more video formats. Like i thnk .mp4 is supported by main app but .flv is supported by paid plugin (.99 cents)
The said plugin refused to work when just transferred over as an apk file. It probably somehow knew that it was not "paid" for a second time. I'd LOVE to pay for it, but its not in the app store.
So is there any way to scrub it from one phone, and transfer the "licence" (or w/e it is it uses to verify the phone its on) to the new phone?
I have heard of an app called Titanium Backup. Can that app possibly help me? If so, I heard it requires root, which I currently dont have. Can some one tell me how to root my phone?
Its Motorola MB860, Android Version 2.3.6
Try to backup the APP with TiBU and transfer the TiBU backup.
Update Play Store if You don't have latest. When You have old Play Store your paid app wont show on the list.
