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"

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.

I've been using titanium backup when I flash a new rom. I usually do a full data wipe then, once the new rom is installed, i restore all of my apps and data.
The problem I'm having with titanium backup is that I have to individually install each app which is extremely time consuming.
Does anyone know of a more efficient method of backing up my apps?
BTW, I know you can make a .zip file using titanium but I wasn't able to flash it.

I just spent a couple bucks for the Pro key, which allows for batch restoring/backups. Completely worth it when you're wiping and flashing on a daily basis.
I agree. I bought the Pro key. I think buying it through the Amazon App store will bypass any currency conversion issues, possibly. (It seems like when I bought Titanium Backup Pro, I got charged an extra dollar because of the currency conversion....I don't think I had that problem with another app in a non-local currency via Amazon.)
I am seconding what he said. The Pro key is well worth the couple of bucks or whatever it costs. You just hit the restore and let it do it's thing. No prompts.
At $5.99, this will be one of the most expensive apps I have purchased but I'll give it a try if you guys say it's worth it.

It was the second app (of two) I ever purchased (the other being The Sims for $1), and it was totally worth it. Titanium Backup is simply a great program. The batch functionality alone is worth the price- Dropbox integration is a very nice perk (along with a few other Pro features).
I astro for back ups
I bought the Pro version of Titanium Backup after my first slow and tedious backup without the batch function. Plus the automatic backups are great.
i use my backup pro
Gonna have to invest in this as well. Thanks.
Alrighty. Just purchased and backing up as I type. I'll let you guys know.
Why doesn't google market keep track of the free apps we download?
That way when we first sync with google again it would at least get all our apps installed again.

That would be cool but it would still give a prompt for every single app which takes forever and is super annoying. I bought the Pro key and installed the new Nameless rom but now I have to reroot. I'll let you guys know how it worked out
Pro key for titanium. Best app purchase ever, hands down
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Pro key was my first purchase from the market. I don't regret it in the slightest. I always do a batch backup before flashing a rom and then batch restore after. I consider it essential if you are rooted.

It does, actually, in stock Froyo and above, but for some reason the ROMs we have on the Fascinate right now don't.
Normally, when you activate your Google account on a newly flashed phone, all your apps, paid and free, will automatically download as part of your first sync. It doesn't prompt you and it's totally automatic.
I do prefer using TB, though, as Google doesn't backup app data and it can take a really long time to download every app if you have a lot of them. Also, Google's sync occasionally misses apps or downloads ones that you had uninstalled.

I wonder if I have always done something wrong then, I may be new to the fascinate rom scene but I flashed multiple roms on my og droid and they never seemed to give me more than the paid apps
in the market.
admittedly these were aosp roms not stock verizon roms maybe that had something to do with it?
I have the paid version off TB as well but when flashing from say a TW rom to an AOSP rom I prefer to download the apps from the market everything seems to run smother when I do it this way.

Agreed...titanium b/u is worth every penny...on a side note, for me going into settings-> applications-> manage applications-> running applications and going to market (or in my case since I'm on ukb...its tsm market) and hitting clear data...then when I go to the market and hit my apps it will show all of my apps both free and purchased, assuming I don't have any of them frozen because frozen apps won't get recognized by the market...it doesn't start downloading on its own but at least I have a list of complete app download history should I need an update.

never bought the key for titanium, use the free version i like it because of the prompts. Sometimes i have apps that i dont use so i dont install.
...that can restore another apps data from a nandroid. I play Mousetrap, a lot, and I swear I was about on the 9th chapter sorta thing. And then my titanium backup messed up the backup, and now I'm pissed. Because I have to start over. Lol. But when I try to restore that rom where the data was on, it goes into a bootloop, so I can't even get into it. Anybody know how to retrieve specific data from a nandroid?
Edit: Did not mean to post this in the Rezound general, meant for the Incredible forums. But oh well, still, can anybody help?

App extractor? I couldn't find it on the market. I'll look on the web for an apk though.
yeah that would be cool. I used to play Plants vs Zombies but upon switching roms and losing the save data I was all "nnnnnnoooooooooooooooo!!!!!"
and never played again.
on a side note, I see R-Type is on the Market... =O
I bought it from the market. Don't know why you can't find it. There is a free version to. I would send you the apk but I have the paid version.

if you send him the apk it should notify him of a licensing issue with his account and bring him to the page on the market to purchase it.
however, I did a search for it also and nothing came up. may have been removed from market for some reason.
Titanium Backup Pro can restore apps from a nandroid now. with CWM 5 on the Dinc

Yeah, I found a copy of an apk with a key for it also. For free. It's not like the developer is making money off it anyways, it's off the market, lol.

Really? I don't have Pro, but I'll try that here soon, because even though app extractor worked for extracting the actual apk, it didn't get the data.
so here's what was wrong...
if you search market for "app extractor", it does not come up.
if you search instead for "appextractor", then it does.
bloody 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

Reinstall app, go to market, uninstall from there and then buy that app. It works for me

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...!

whenever i switch roms its a pain getting my apps back. i know that there is titanium but they dont go through google play and i want them to be noticed through google play so i can update them through there.
is there any way to do this?
for now i have an app that just back ups the names of the apps and i just re download them like that.

In my opinion, the best backup app that has worked as advertised in every ROM and every phone I've ever owned is Titanium Backup.
It's quick and easy to install and it's cheap to go pro, plus the dev offers incredible support and provides frequent updates to the software when needed.
You can do batch backups, backup only installed apps or the whole thing, it backup apps with the data; you can do cloud backups as well.

Try Helium. It's really easy to use and you don't have to be rooted. They offer a free version and a premium version that costs $4.99.
