[Q] Titanium(Pro) detach Apps from playstore - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All
I have tried to detach apps from Android-Google playstore because I do not want some updates, e.g. Skype.
It works well initially, though Skype comes back with an update notification in my apps(play store) within a day.
I wonder if someone here in the forums or Titanium can advise what I could do to make it permanent? The possibility of detaching apps was one of the reasons I went pro.
Thanks

[Q] 2.1 market and AppBrain

After getting the last update on both applications (autoself background for market seems to disable FastWeb installations, and last Appbrain update comes with FastWeb integrated) installing trough the web doesn´t work anymore as always. Also doesn´t work when pressing "perform installs" from the phone application. I´ve tried enabling and disabling FastWeb option and uninstalling market updates data, but still is not working.
Anyone have a clue ???
I think
I saw this problem in another thread - I believe it's a google/appbrain issue and we just have to suffer. Appbrain answered inquiries recommending getting apps through syncing. Sad.
Yes, but also sincyng or other actions performed from the phone (like direct install) are not working. Last version, updated today claims that you must uninstall any market updates present on your phone in order to work as before, but that seems useless to me, as any time you open the market, the update comes again on the background. I liked the app for the possibility of install apps not available on "my" market ( put region/operator or some other strange filters here) but fully working on my phone when installed from AppBrain.
So, to my taste, right now, AppBrain is useless and going to just R.I.P.
Yes, I gave up on it for now - If I understand it correctly, it might be working on some systems and the developers were working on a workaround. Yes, the sync feature isn't fun as it just takes you to the market to install.
If you can get the apk install files, drop them to dropbox.
Good luck.

[Q] Market not showing all apps???

Why do some apps not show up in the Android market on the Archos 101? For example, I use an app called My Backup Pro...it doesn't show up. I searched for Lookout Mobile...it doesn't show...neither does Norton Mobile Security. I searched around but didn't find an answer to this. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
caseym
not all apps will show up... from my understanding, protected apps do not appear. i myself have been looking for a few, and had to resort to side loading them.

Yeah that's what I've been doing...just wondered if there was a reason why they don't show up.
Thanks!
I had the same or similar
Hi guys,
I have the same issue this my archos 101.
I found the solution on another forum:
1- Clear the android market cache
2- Force to stop the google framework service
3- clear the cache of the google framework service
4- Reboot your tablet
This solved similar issue for me
I hope it can help you

Paid Apps Outside US?
I installed v5-final and have done the market fix several times but I only get free apps - NO paid ones. The catch is that I am located in Costa Rica - could someone comfirm that paid apps are only available in North America/Europe. If ALL (free and paid) apps are available everywhere then I have to figure out my problem, if not, I will just buy apps like crazy when I am back in the states (unless someone knows a work-around). Thanks.
I just tried the same thing and now my market app doesn't work. Any suggestions. Thanks
Just fixed it

Titanium backup in use?
i need to ask everyone with this issue, is everyone having this issue using titanium backup, and only seems to have problems after pulling from titanium's backup?
ill give my reasoning for this question...if you are having an issue, with certain apps just vanishing from the market on your phone.... even if you know its installed....
have a look at the list of questionable apps in TB, is there a yellow ball, with NO "M" overlaying it.... this may be the issue... you may have to delete all backup s for said app that DO NOT have a "M" ...wipe that apps data (in TB) and trying to restore from a backup that DOES have the "M"
please check this out, and let me know if i figured this out right... i have spent way too long pulling my hair out over this...and it seems like this was a fix for me...so far... ill edit in a few days if it all holds out
additional, if you are getting an "app incompatible" in the market... and have changed your LCD density , you will have to change it back to its default (240 for the DX) the new market seems to check for that.. and must label the device as unusable with the app, even if you KNOW its working just fine... i hope the market gets fixed to tolerate this...but im sure its part of the NEW market compatibility check
Hi Migamix,
If you have backups that don't contain a Market link, no need to delete them because they won't interfere - as long as you restore the one that has the link, of course.
When batch restoring it's a bit different, the latest backup for the chosen platform is picked, so you have to ensure that that one has a Market link.
But in any case, if you have the PRO version you can long-click and force attach it to to Market afterwards.

the force to market did not work for me, at all...many times, many tries.. some days im on a rom flashing fest...and some of those times ive done a batch restore and had only 20 apps in my market list.. its odd but it seems the only time it worked for me was after having the market attached "M" notification on all the files i wanted...i looked at this issue after letting the market auto restore post rom install, and manually pushed a few more that were causing problems...but i saw how 80% of the apps i restored (data only) refused to keep a link to the market... poked around.... uninstalled a problem app... noticed one of my older backups had an "M" while the rest didn't...so, i used that backup, and moments later that app was available in the market, and had an update... so i went and did it with a few more.... all those apps i managed to get installed in this fashion...still after 3 days, have not dropped their market links...where as...sometimes after a force market linking...would only last an hour if at all
i wanted to post this because i saw how many others were having the exact issue...i wanted to see if there is something in the way TB communicates with the data of the market ...causing market link confusion...
it seems like there needs to be a little more work with the market tools in TB....
ps, there also a setting i messed with that changed the way TB was getting market links... i think it was turning off accurate market check...
hopefully this post doesn't require too much re-reading....im a bit of a bad multitask'r sometimes

[Q] 'Disconnecting' apps from Android Market - Market Link?

Hey guys,
Forgive me if this question has been covered, I did plenty of searching without finding what I was after.
I have an app that was installed via Android Market. And so, the Android Market knows when new versions are out and notifies me of an update. Titanium Backup calls this the 'Market Link', not sure what else it could be called.
My question is, how would I go about 'disconnecting' the app from the Market? Deleting the market link as if it were side-loaded?
Yes, I know this means no more updates for the app etc. Which is actually what I'm after.
For reference, I'm using a SGS - DocRom V9.6 with Speedmod Kernel k13a
Thanks.
Hey Guys,
So no body knows how to delete the link between app and Android Market so that the Market no longer knows it's installed?
Or am I best copying the app somehow, uninstalling it and then side-loading it?
Thanks.
Using Titanium Backup (Pro) long click/press on the app you want to 'disconnect' from the market.
Then select Detach from Market
I added (Pro) because I'm not sure if it works on the standard version or not..which I'd highly recommend getting the pro version if you don't already have it.
Awesome thanks for the tip, I didin't know there was an extended menu if I long-pressed an app in Ti Backup.
Though once I long-press, 'Disconnect' is greyed out. And in fact, all my apps have this greyed out (And I do have pro), yet they all show in Android Market?
'Force Attach to Market' doesn't seem to do anything either.
Weird, I'm able to Detach the market link of both /data and /system apps - some of which I do and do not have backups of.
I'm not sure if this will really do anything, but you can always try using the "market doctor" to find missing market links, then see if you're able to remove the link that it finds. But to be honest, I'm not really sure that will do the trick nor do I have any clue why that option isn't available to you
Only other thing I can think of is to clear the market's cache/data:
Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Market
click force stop then clear data & clear cache
If they're both blanked out, just use TiBackup to wipe the market data.
After all that, see if you're able to Detach the Market Links
Hope this works

Thanks for the help.
Looks like clearing the data from the Market app (as you described) has allowed me to detach my apps from the Market through Ti Backup now.
That's not how I managed to do it though. I did it a far more complicated way!
I made sure I had a backup of the app, then uninstalled it.
I then browsed to the Titanium Backup backup folder on the internal SD card, and found the *.properties file of the app in question.
Long press on it and opened it in Text Editor.
I then deleted out every line that started with 'market.'
I then saved it, and Ti Backup automatically creates a backup of the original file.
Then I restored the app.
But to get this process to work, I also had to clear the Market app data (as per your tip).
Did I mention complicated!

Not sure I'll get a reply on an over a year old thread but worth a try. I tried this method but didn't work for me. When restoring the app did you restore data also? Thanks.
I'm still here! :laugh:
The app I was trying to disconnect from the market I don't think had any real data to restore, so I don't think I was restoring data as well, no.
I'd say both the Market (now Play Store) and Ti Backup have changed a fair bit since this post. Ti Backup does have the ability to detach apps from the Play Store, if you find it in the app list and long press it will show the option. Some apps I think won't detach, and it could be because they're linked to your google/gmail account (for certain permissions or whatever). If they remain linked to that account, then I guess the Play Store still thinks it's installed on the phone (because it is).
Sorry I couldn't be of any more help!

Thanks for the reply. The app I wanted to break from the market is Business Calendar Pro that I bought a while back. The new updates don't work with the ROM on my phone so I wanted to stop the updates. I have MyBackup Pro and it has an option to break the market link but doesn't work. I haven't bought Ti Backup but use the free version. I don't want to buy it just to find that it won't work. I don't think Biz Cal uses google data but it does us the built in calendar's data so that might be why I can't break the link. Oh well. I'll keep trying different options. Thanks again.
Hi, not sure if this will do the trick but you could try extracting the APK for the app (not sure if TiB can do it or this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extract.apk) And then uninstall the market version and side-load the extracted version. I have a feeling it may not work as sometimes when I've side-loaded beta versions the released version has shown up in the Play Store as installed. When I try and uninstall it from there, the Play app tells me the app wasn't installed from Play and gets me to confirm uninstall.
I guess that's the long way of saying that the Play Store app must be using some mechanism to detect apps installed on the phone, even if not from the store.
Thanks again but the market seems to keep the data linked somehow. I'll keep trying different scenarios I guess...
did you find any method that work?
Honestly I haven't had time to mess around with it this weekend, but I'll keep up on the research and post here if I find something out. Thanks
Titanium Backup is not working for sure, at least for now, maibe they'll fix this sometimes!

We are aware of the detach apps not working. This is mainly because of the recent upgrade from google market to google play. We are working on it but Google Play is really stubborn! We need your help to "star" this post so that it comes into notice by Google

Also tried Rom Toolbox, still nothing
Yea. I figured that. Glad I didn't buy either to try them. thanks. It sucks but will have to deal with for now I guess.
found a fix
Hey. So I was looking around some more and found an app called "market fixer" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kstudio.marketfixer&hl=en
It seems to scan apps that aren't linked to the market. The other thing it does, if you "scan all links", is give you all your market links which you can then select and "delete market link"
I check and it works. Also some reported it stops working on reboot,but mine worked fine. The app does warn that it will need to be reapplied if market data is cleared. Just wanted to update you and hopefully help anyone else with these troubles
Hi. I just gave this ago and worked very well. Thanks for finding that out and sharing.

Glad it works for you too. Take care.
easiest way is to just run batch mode in titanium there is an option yo detach user and system apps from market
edit: i use pro version btw and works for me jus fine
update
update on market fixer. I guess if you clean google play cache it relinks also. easy enough for me to use market fixer before I "update all" though so no prob for me.

Remove apps from "Not Installed" in Market

When I load a new ROM and need to reinstall my apps there are usually a couple I don't want to install. Is there anyway to remove them from the "Not Installed" under "My Apps"? It seems like since I once downloaded and installed an app, it will always be there.
If I can't remove them, then I can't use the bulk install option and have to manually start all the installs.
use apps that on market. remove all cache.
Can anyone answer the OP's question?
I have the same issue, except that with telling your ROM to restore from your google account it installs all the apps... But there are apps that I don't want to have installed anymore.
It's very annoying.
So is there a way to remove apps under your account/from the NOT INSTALLED section of "My Apps" in the Market?
There is no way.
It's an issue that's been raised a thousand times on the Google Help Forums. Best thing is to add your voice to the many others there, and hope Google take notice one day.
I did... sent an email through Google app support ... doubt it will do much though. Got an automated confirmation but that's about it.
Sent from... you don't even wanna know.
What's extra annoying is my epic 4g insists on keeping TeleNav, NASCAR, Football and Media hub under Not Installed. I removed them from the phone so the should be 100% gone. How can market see an app when its apk has bee removed?
I've also broken the market link to several apps with titanium backup, and somehow market reattached itself to them and tried to update them. $^*^*(# Google, NO MEANS NO! What happened to not being evil?

[Q] Can't detach app from market, nothing works

I restored some apps after installing tasks latest rom, by the way this has NOTHING to do with his rom. Anyway a few apps have been attached to the market that I bought from other sites. I cannot remove them, I have tried everything, uninstalling them and the market, re installing the apps then the market, using tb to install backup apps without data and then the market without data, clearing all caches for apps and market, and whole cache with cwr. If i use tb to detach app from market, then open the market and press my apps they are gone, but as soon as the list refreshes they are back :-(. This isn't a major problem, just very annoying.
Any help would be great
Also on my stock rom i have the same problem, the apps must be locked in to my market account or somthing
Over 80 views and no reply.....lol
Over 150 now lol :-O has nobody got any ideas?
I'm bumping this cause I'm having the same issue. I got apparatus from Amazon months ago, but it no longer receives updates. Since it's one of the 10 cent apps today I've tried installing it from the market. I'm seeing a same issue as the OP. I've uninstalled, detached from the market etc.. but when I go into the Android market it's still marked purchased. Any ideas?
I have the same issue...it seems you have to be on the ROM that the app was initially linked to the market. I have gotten a few apps to detach, but only the ones that I installed on my current ROM.
I tried going back to previous ROMs for the other apps but it wouldn't work.
Really dumb...the only actual solution is to make another account for purchasing apps.
It happened to me all on the same rom, still can not detach them on any rom. It is more the annoying now as all the apps coming on for 0.10, I can't buy them cos if I uninstall them they still show as purchased but can't download them cos the market finds no license. Getting annoying now. My phone doesen't show them as purchased as I use the same account on phone and tab, my phone just shows the apps I actually purchased on the market.
This app has this feature:

It's also made by a fellow Greek, so you're supporting our economy by buying it

As I said, tb does not work. And all these months later I still have the problem. Never found a solution. Just gave up and learned to live with it. Unfortunely the only way of updating them apps is downloading pirated copies, I don't care if that is wrong cos I payed for the apps and games so am entitled to the updates lol
