Donut market not aware of installed apps

After flashing donut I restored installed apps using Astro but only apps installed through market are now recognised by the market as installed and downloaded so I miss upgrades. Is there a way to make the market aware of already installed apps?
Thanks

thats the standard behaviour. Use aTrackDog if you want that functionality.

I'm sure it worked with cyanogen mods... but I will try with aTrackDog.
thanks

The Market is only aware of applications installed through the Market Application. That's just how is works, and how it has always worked. In order to track your updates through the Market, you will need to reinstall your apps using the Market, not Astro. Sorry.
aTrackDog is a great tool, and it can track any/all apps even those installed manually (or from Astro, or other tools) as well as those installed through the Market.

Are you asking because you have installed non-paid for but should have been paid for apps, and are trying to get the updates? That won't work. Good try though.
Why not just re-download them from the market instead of using Astro? That way you will see all of the updates.
Why would you even have market apps on your sd card?
Exactly which apps aren't showing in the market?

Market and Installed Apps

So I tried the new MIUI rom for Milestone and I really liked it, I switched from CM7, and when I did a data restore from CM7 to MIUI, it made my phone freeze and not run properly, giving me system errors. So I wiped and did a davlik wipe as well. Did a nandroid restore to my CM7 rom and used Astro file manager to backup all my apps. Than I wiped again and flashed MIUI, than used astro to install all the apps again, but they do not show up as installed in my market. Just the purchased ones show up as not installed, just pruchased. Is there a way that I can fix it, so the market will detect me installed apps so I can update them. I was hoping to have to avoid reinstalled 50 or more apps.
Thanks, Adam.
Hope all that made sense lol

Use TITANIUM BACKUP and use the option to force app to show on market.

the Market Doctor? or is there another option? Will restoring my apps make them appear in the market?
Thanks.

Download the TITANIUM BACKUP and them look for the option to attach the app you want to the Market.
Simple like that.

search app call "google xxx architecture" in manage application, clear cache, reboot,relogin gmail, open market
off coz use tititum backup to save the app for DR

What about the apps that it didn't attach? it maybe did half...

Titanium Backup Pro (CM7 Stable) not in app drawer

I'm coming from autnooter 3.0 to CM7. After successfully installing CM7 and Gapps, I went into the market and downloaded my paid Titanium Backup Pro app. It downloaded fine, but it is NOT in the app drawer.
I went into manage applications and it is showing that it is there, but obviously i can't launch the program.
do i need to do something special to get this to show up in my app drawer? Do I need to check allow non-market apps or something and then reboot?
would love to restore a lot of my apps from my e-clair ROM.

I didn't have that problem and I followed the same upgrade path that you did.
One thing I would suggest is going to the market/my apps and see if TB is 'installed' there. If it is, when you click on it, it will give you the option to open it. Try that.
On my old auto-nooter installs, I noticed that some apps didn't appear until reboot, others had to be manually moved to system/apps with root explorer.
I am totally loving CM7 and haven't had any serious problems at all. Using Aldiko to read my epubs works great.

Yes, I did try to "open" it from the market and yes it says its "installed" in the market as well.
the "open" button in the market is "greyed out", meaning i cannot press it. I will try a reboot when I get home and will also d/l root explorer and try moving it that way.

The other thing is, and this I don't know, is The Pro just a key? So you have to install the free version as well? A lot of 'pro' apps work that way.

you may be right. Did you d/l the free version first? then the "key" (aka PRO)?
do you remember?

I'm still just using the free version. This is what I used to restore my apps after the CM7 upgrade. The downside to the free version (I think) is that the files are restored 1 by 1.

Yes, you need to install the free version from market, at which point it should recognize you have a pro key. Then, just reload TB (by pushing the menu button when in TB, then "reload application"...or just reboot) and it should use your pro key just fine. I've done this several times in the past with no issues.

[Q] CM7 market does not show "My Apps" (fixed)

i have this weird problem:
first, i'm running CM7 from a verygreen's SD card
it was running fine but i had some force closes so i resintalled from the begining (reflashed verygreens image), then installed CM7.0.2, installed gapps, and when the market was downloading all of my apps, my system crashed down, and had to reboot.
After that, i havent been able to see my free apps in the "My Apps" tab of the market, i can see my paid apps.
tried to reflash again verygreens image to delete everything, upgraded to n59, still, only see my paid apps. tried restore them with titanium, and they restore, but the "Attach to market" option does not work for me
when i log to the web market, it shows that all my apps (free and paid) as if they were already installed
has anyone else seen this behaviour? any idea?
thanks

Not really, but you might try this... Install and run Appbrain, sync up with it, etc.. then go into the Market app.
When I was messing with ROMs a while back with apps already on my SD ext partition they'd show up to run but not in the Market, but running Appbrain always "attached" them for me. Did it several times.

Using CM7, I was experiencing the same issue, but any new app I downloaded, free or paid, would then show up in the market. I wasn't too concerned, as I only had 5 free apps from the market. Amazon Market, which is where most of my apps are, showed all without an issue.

thanks a lot, this attached all my restored apps (with TitatiumB) to the market again.
missing apps still fail to be re-downloaded, but not a problem since i have a full backup of my apps, just have to restore them and reattach with appbrain

want to keep gmaps 4.7 on the milestone....every version above sucks....
so if i could disconnect it...autoupdates an notifications could keeps its function
bye
greets from germany

great question, i would like to know the same thing too, I do not want to install the newest facebook updates, but the market keeps showing me updates available.
it´s more an annoyance than a problem, really - but if there IS a way to "fix" it, then I would like to know

If your device is rooted, use root explorer to pull the app's apk file from data/apps to a folder somewhere on your sd card. Then, uninstall the app, and sideload the apps you pulled out earlier. It will not have a connection to the market this way.
Sent from my MB526 using XDA App

in other words: make a copy of apk, uninstall, mv backuped apk to old place?

unfortunately, that does not work. at least it does not ALWAYS work.
because that is exactly what I already did - I hated the new Facebook app, so I downloaded the old version 1.5.2 APK from our german Android forums, and sideloaded it - but it still shows up in the Market with the red "update" text beside it.

just found something, that seems to work.
go to market, cklick update, abort download, --> disconnect
worked for me 2 times now. but i use froyo with old market...do not know if it works for the new ones.

Not move backup back into data/app, but install the apk from SD.

Titanium Backup can detach and reattach apps from the market. Do a long press on the app to get the menu with that option.
