[Q] all markets show me wrong applications updates - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello:
I use 1Mobile, Aptoide, MoboMarket, F-Droid, AppCenter , all alternative markets. I have noticed that all report application updates, but depending on what is contained in their respective folders download, not by applications that I have actually installed.
For example, I use Firefox 33.0 and update to 34.0 release using 1Mobile, and then MoboMarket tells me there is a new update 34.0, the same that I downloaded and installed by 1Mobile not valued by MoboMaket...
What can I need to fix this...?
Thanks

Updating Non Market Apps

Downloaded an apk pack from the interweb and installed a few apps.
Loaded it up via pc and then clicked on file and it installed. When I go into the market its saying I don't have this app installed? I also installed a game and under settings this appears but not the app?
Is there a way of updating this app as cannot update it via market ? Tried the non paid version of Titanium back up but no use. From searching read Trackdog app. maybe able to do this. Anyone confirm
Is there a way or is the market such it wont let it update?
I was gonna ask same question
I don't think there's any solution for what you are asking. But you can try this: install AppBrain App Market from the market. This app will show all your installed apps, no matter if you installed them straight from the market or other sources. There's an option to sync the apps with AppBrain and if a newer version of your installed apps comes out on the market it will prompt you to update. Obviously, you won't be able to update the apps straight from the market (if they were installed from other sources), but at least you will know there's a new version of the app in the market and then you can try to get the new version from alternate sources. I use this app for Google Plus and some other apps from the market which are not available for my country. This isn't a solution, merely an intermediate step to find out if your apps need to be updated I think Trackdog does exactly the same thing as AppBrain.

[Q] Auto Update Off Market Apps?

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to update an app that was not installed from the market through the market.
I've downloaded free apps from the market, unzipped them and swapped out some image files, signed and reinstalled, but these apps no longer show up in the play store--when I try, it says that the app was not signed correctly.
I've tried searching but the only thread I found was from 2010 and was essentially a thread about some person stealing a paid apk and trying to get it to update :|
Anyways thanks
Seems impossible
As the signature is different, so I think it is impossible.
Titanium Backup has an option to "Attach to market(forced)" might give that a try or fix permissions.
I had similar problems with games that I bought through the Android edition of the Humble Indie Bundle. Cannot update via Play Store.

[LIST]Latest version of popular apps APK

Hello
I think it would be nice to have a list to a direct link to APKs for the latest version of popular (and maybe not so popular) apps.
The reason I made this thread is a bit for myself: A old phone I have, every time I try to download a app from the Play Store, it says no space available. But if I download the APK and install it manually, no problems at all.
So who is up for maintain a list? The list must be universal (meaning all apps must be installable on all phones that have officially Android 4.0 or above)

[Q] Websites/Services allowing users download old apk packages of my app directly

Hello,
I have an Android app on Google Play. I would like the user was able to install old releases apk packages directly when some troubles occur with the official one on Google Play.
I need to know which safe and secure websites/services allow me to have an account so the users can download the apk packages. I would like to have an account on more than one service, for redundancy purposes. (Note: my app is not open-source)
Thanks in advance

[SUCCESS] Tackling 'Error -505" - Google QuickSearchBox fails to install

I found this "-505" error prevalent on two of my MediaTek MT6735 MKU82ZPZ/A devices, it's probably common with China Phones, which install a certain list of stock Google apps, the QuickSearch Box not being included.
I have found a solution for this, based on my issues with blocking forced updates with Google Play services and the Google Play Store:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3091832
I figured since these two added folders in the system / data / app folder prevented Google Play services from updating:
system/data/app/com.google.android.gms-1.apk/
and
system/data/app/com.google.android.gms-2.apk/
And that adding the specific folder for the Play Store also prevents Play Store from unwanted updates, then I should be able to actually Force an app to install as if it were a stock app (but it will not really be installed as a system app, it will still be "user").
I chose, not the latest beta for the Google Search app, but one from a couple of days ago:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...gle-app-6-0-17-21-arm64-android-apk-download/
So that would be Google search v6.0.17.
Next, I renamed the APK file into the format that I used to block the Google play services update, and then I created a path in the proper system folder:
/data/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1/
In this case, there was no need to add the dot-APK extension to the folder.
What's next? Okay basically you take the APK file that you had named "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1" and then you place it in that folder.
After you have moved it in there, you're just going to have to rename it to "base.APK".
And then using the app "FX", install it using "root package installer". Basically, just tap the APK file and you'll see a popup, just choose "root package installer" and then install it. Then reboot your device and you will have Google search on your springboard or in your appdrawer when it comes back up.
Needless to say, you have to be rooted in order to do this. It works best with the "FX" explorer app as it allows installing an The APK as a root package, which allows it to be installed. Because if you try to install it manually, it just fails.
This is for specific Lollipop 5.1 MediaTek MT6735 systems, maybe some other systems do it too, whenever you come across the "-505 error" - I don't know if this error is specific for this particular package or if will occur with other Google apps.
Whatever happens, if this succeeds in installing quicksearch for you, leave the base.APK file in that folder otherwise the app will stop working.
Oh yes, I dictated all of this into my MTK device using the regular stock keyboard with its new dictation button provided by Google search.
