I notice that after I perform a wipe, certain apps are usually missing or need to be reinstalled, for example, Hello IM. Its not a big deal but im curious as to why its only certain apps, any1 got an idea?
Just wiped and also confused by this. Some apps show but do not work well until i uninstall and reinstall them.
it is because they are protected apps. they do not re-install like a normal app saved on the sdcard.
Seems like there were more apps with issues than just the protected ones.... could be correct I suppose though.

Apps that are missing are apps that are not in included in the new rom. When you wipe, it erases all your apps. Now those that were 'retained' are actually replaced by the new rom. So basically if a certain app is not included in the new rom that you are flashing, you may need to re-install it again.

Um I think its because certain apps are protected not because these apps arent included in the rom. I have Apps 2 SD so when I wipe, I have all my apps I downloaded from the market which arent included in the rom, I dont have to redownload them, there are only about 4 or 5 which I do, and I think it is because they are protected

Hello everyone.
Is it possible to get Market updates on apps that are sideloaded?
Let me start by saying Yes, I Google (and forum) searched for a solution...probably for the better part of 2 hours and I couldn't find an answer.
I recently went from cupcake to CM 4.0.4 (great ROM). But before that, I used ASTRO to back up almost all of my apps to my SD. After flashing, I used ASTRO to restore my apps, but now none of them show in My Downloads in the Market. Also, when I search for an app that's installed on my phone, the Market doesn't recoginze that I have it installed.
Is there anything I can do, or do I have to download them again?
search for "atrackdog" in the market

Market will not care at all about sideloaded apps. It will only update the apps that it has recorded in its local database. Wiping deletes that database. It would definitely be nice if the Market had some kind of bulk reinstall, but you have to keep in mind that the AOSP team never intended for users to wipe their data/cache very often.

i guess learn how the market database works and then add all the entries back into database after reinstall?
aTrackdog is your best bet. I use it all the time and always tells me wehn there are updates for apps on my ext3 partition.

aTrackdog works well for finding the updates & once I install the update, it appears to register to the built-in notification system, but my purchased apps still aren't working.
I'll see what I can figure out about the Market database files & share whatever I find.
Thanks
I'm pathetic because I just goto the market using my wifi connection and search for all my apps and update them manually and then later I get notices. Sure it takes some time and its work, but I don't flash my roms a lot like I used to.
Hi,
i have a problem. Since last time i used beautiful widgets 1.47, then i had to reflash devphone-debug.img and cyanogenmod.
After that it came on homesite of phone that widgets cannot displayed right...
And i can't really uninstall the app...
Now i want to install the newest beautiful widgets, but now he say that it cannot be installed, neither the old version...
Are there any rests of the old app i have to delete with explorer to are able to install??? (rooted phone)
Thanks for help
ScorqYoN
Noone an idea?????
Last time i had problems with market working now with beautiful widgets...
Just wipe and start over.
But if i wipe all my apps and data are lost...
They are linked to your google account on the market, just redownload.
Ahh, the apps under market->downloads are linked to my google account?!
Cool.
But i have to download the apps i'm installed from my sd card, like setcpu or something else, or???
Is that right???????

If you do a wipe then you won't lose your programs, because as you said they are on your sdcard ext partition. But a wipe will reset all your apps to their original state (meaning saved info will be deleted).
Regarding your widget issues, should I assume you are using the free version? Not the donated one? If so, I bet that is the issue in installing new oness
If it is still on your phone, it will be in /system/app/ , I forget the name, but it starts with com.
I have the "free" version, recently downloaded addon, but doesn't work. I almost almost positive it is because it's not the donate version
Hi. I am using the official CyanogenMod ROM for SGA. What happened is that I installed its first nightly build, uninstalled the live wallpapers and the live wallpaper picker. Then went to install the updates that followed.
However, I've noticed that the said apps that I uninstalled before were still uninstalled after the updates. And while reinstalling them was a success, they didn't work. Choosing one of the live wallpapers will do a force close.
I know this is not a big deal. But I want to know why that's happening.
Also, another question. I'm using S2E. Is there a way to move certain apps (like handcent, go launcher ex, etc) back in the REAL internal memory while retaining the other apps in sd-ext? Thank you.

Yeah you can move appz to phone memory. Launchers, widgets are must to keep in phone memory. Otherwise they'll not work. Try moving them in manage appz option in settings then move to phone

use link2sd bro... it works as an app .. so u can easily manage apps just choose the app from where u installed and move it to sd then phone memory ....
believe me really really easy.... and does the same works as s2e.... rather s2e will slow ur ROM in long process but link2sd won't .. just click on clear cache easy
With the Cyanogenmod problem, try flashing the version your on again without any wipes.

plus i think u need to manually put the live wall paper apk in system apk by root broser..and then set permission to rw-r-r
Hey, thanks for all the replies. Sorry it's just now. I found out that live wallpapers were working only in the first nightly release of the said ROM, then it was removed on the succeeding ones.
I've tried Link2SD. Well I had a problem with it. One time after reboot, the partition didn't get recognized, thus I had to reinstall everything. I'm sticking with S2E for now. Thanks people.
Any help?

To uninstall them you need to be rooted and have a file manager like as file manager.
Otherwise you can disable them in app settings.
Out of curiosity, I see you've been a member since 2008 and have well over a thousand posts so your not a "noob." Yet, uninstalling system apps is a pretty basic question... Is this your first Android phone?
No its not, I usually run custom ROMs. And when I install them usually there are no system apps like this. This is honestly the first phone that I have been damn near 100% happy with stock. Its weird haha
yeha I just went thru and deleted the APKs using RootExplorer.

I'm finding myself in the same situation, not really used to stock but now liking it enough to stick with it!
Just to clarify for the less forward-thinking among us, if you're rooted but on stock android and don't want to re-flash everything should you decide you want those deleted system apps back, it's better to rename them (for instance change crappyapp.apk to crappyapp.apk.bak) than to delete them, so you can just remove the .bak and restore the app instead of having to hunt down the .apk and re-install.
Or just freeze it in Titanium Backup, which is the easiest way. No reason to NOT have Ti Backup installed in my opinion...
(I posted a similar topic here: forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/116749-launchers-crash-no-matter-what/)
I use various CM versions on my Nook HD+, including the stable 10.2.1, the Unofficial 12.0 and 12.1 versions, and several nightlies. I was just getting more stuff from Google Play when things started crashing. So I rebooted my tablet, hoping to clear up some problems. I choose a launcher, and it says "Unfortunately, Trebuchet has stopped."
I have more than one launcher, so I tried them all. Same type of error. I've flashed different versions of CM in an attempt to clear up the problem, but to no avail. My tablet is pretty much unusable now. I need help! Any suggestions are welcome.
Did you do "wipe /data & factory reset" when going between CM10 and CM12.x?
No, because I haven't made a backup, yet. I have personal data I want to save.

You need to wipe /data when upgrading or downgrading between major releases of CM.

I don't mean to question your response, but I am curious - How will wiping my Nook fix the launcher problem? I was hoping for a simpler solution.

The HD+'s /data partition holds the apps -- including launcher apps -- and their data/settings (to see all the apps in the partition, just browse the /data/app folder using a file-manager app that has "root explorer" permission enabled).
Wiping /data forces a clean re-install of the apps and re-initialization of their data/settings which otherwise might be incompatible with the newly flashed ROM version.

I think I know what you're saying, but please clarify: Does wiping /data delete the installed apps, or merely the data they store? If the latter is true, what should I avoid doing if I want to keep my apps? I'm trying to be careful not to get rid of the apps themselves, as I have so many (some are paid apps, and I really don't want to have to pay for them again).
A "wipe" re-formats the partition so the partition's content -- the apps as well as their data/settings -- will effectively disappear.
For all apps (whether free or paid) acquired from Google Play store (and Amazon App store) you should be able to re-download them at no-charge. If you have enabled the "Backup and Restore" option for Google Play store on your current ROM, typically your apps will be automatically re-downloaded to your device after you sign in (to Google Play store) on the new (or newly re-flashed) ROM. However, the apps' personalized settings will not be restored and you will have to re-enter them.

Where should I look for personalized settings? I can access CM's file manager via a startup manager, if that helps.

The apps and their data are in their respective individual folders in /data/app folders, but are unlikely stored in user-readable format.

I don't care if they're in a format that I can open; I merely want to copy this info elsewhere, so I can restore it when the data is wiped. In fact, I might be able to figure out which app is causing the problem (if it is an app).

The simplest way to backup and restore an app and its data/settings is to use a Backup/Restore app such as Titatium Backup.
Ahhh, my first query... I'm getting misty-eyed.
