Mybackup Pro Question

I have been lurking through these forums (and others) for a bit and I have noticed talk of copyrighted apps disappearing from the marketplace or those with root that have put their apps onto their SD card.
The new MyBackUp Pro App gives you the option to backup all of your apps to your SD card. Has anyone had any issues with certain apps disappearing from the market after utilizing this feature? Thanks in advance.

well, my backup has been around for a while, ive been using it for months, however they added a few features with pro, but mosty its a donation. anyways ive never had a problem with any program as result to mybackup, and definatly one of my favortie/must have apps.

Cant find mybackup in market?
I upgraded my old fully working version of mybackup to the new piece of **** scam one that crippled the restore feature and now its forcing me to upgrade to the pro version.
1st of all how os it an "upgrade" when u cripple an app and then force u to upgrade to a paid version to get it to work again???? Wtf??
And 2nd, has mybackup disappeared from the market for anyone? I've tried typing all sorts of jeywords in for it and it won't pop up? Even the notification that mybackup provides with a shortcut doesn't work? It says sorry this app could not be found? Please check spelling? W
Wtf happenes to this once excellent app? How did it go to such useless ****?
Can anyone help me find it again???
Thanks

The application made it clear that feature from the free version would expire. Also, there was no upgrade to expire the features, it was build into the application when it was released.

do you work for free???
if you can't afford $0.99
then you can't afford a G1

Paid apps are not accessible to all of us, and this move on their part puts a lot of people in limbo. I can't use the old, free, version anymore and I can't buy the Pro version. Caught between a rock and a hard place, and I'm not enjoying it.

MyBackup Pro
If you are still on the free one and find that you cant backup or restore. This is not true, you are only allowed 2 Backup sets, so if you have more, deleting them (or moving them to another machine) and freeing up the backup sets will allow you to create another backup, just not one of Applications. Also, you are able to restore any of your old Data backup sets, again just not applications...

From what I've heard yes as well as non us users. I use rc33 and have never had a problem finding any app.

its the same for me... kinda sucks, id go rc33 but done really want all those tmobranded stuff (since im not in the usa) i guess i can always delete them like i do with the amazon mp3 thing
on the other hand, for some reason my main gmail act is unable to be registered for google checkout and the only and last reply the "google checkout team" sent was "i am unable to use checkout on that acocunt" ive sent them 3 emails after that with no reply whatsoever, and i dont find an 800 number for them =(

I'm in Norway, and thus have no access to paid apps.
I noticed also that MyBackup Lite is no longer available.
I would gladly pay for MyBackup Pro if it was possible, but as I don't have the necessary access to the "paid apps market", and since rerware have no "buy directly from us" option on their webpage, I'm out of luck having MyBackup work the correct way.
So here were my steps to still be able to perform a backup using MyBackup lite, before I'm about to upgrade to 1.5:
1) search google for "mybackup apk" and download the apk
2) use appinstaller to install
So far so good.
4) launch MyBackup - receive the "there's a new version, please upgrade" message
5) answer "no", try different things but still receive the same message. There's no way I can perform a backup to SD
6) Think about it: how is the application able to know there's a new version available? It must poll some servers somewhere
7) enter airplane mode, effectively bring the phone completely offline
8) start mybackup again, perform backup to SD card

maybe i can shed some light on this, as i have had the same problem for a while now. the problem is that if you have any G1 with the ADP firmware on it, NO paid apps will show up in your market. this is done on purpose by Google. Google even has it included in the agreement for any ADP phone... The reason is that the copyright protection does not work on the ADP firmware and all paid apps that are bought on the ADP phone, can be ripped from it and then spread around the internet. I started with the Tmobile g1, and then went to he ADP 1.1 firmware, and i could no longer access any of my paid apps i bought while i had the original firmware on it. Now i have the ADP 1.5 from JF, and still same problem. The only difference i noticed with ADP 1.5, is that the apps do show up in "my downloads" and they will actually install. on my phone specifically though it would only do it over ATT, but not over Wifi... which was strange, but i havent gotten to the bottom of it yet. The apps that are supposedly missing are all there. they are just not viewable in the market with any phone that has the ADP firmware on it.
Thanks,

ASTRO=7 Days

Today, while opening ASTRO, I got a message saying "This beta version will expire in 7 days" =/ Anyone else get this message?? I don't know what version I have (I think it may be 1.2) but I also don't remember it being a beta version either.... WTF....

Same here, got the "7 days remaining thing". Astro is good but im not going to pay for a file viewer, no way.

beat me to it. i got sidetracked at work and meant to post about this. guess paid version is coming.

when u first install astro it tells you that its only a beta
and that it will expire after like so many days

yea i just got the same message while deleting annoying thumbnails from the i09 app

I emailed the developer asking if it would be a paid app & how much but I haven't gotten a response yet. I'll post here if I get a response... If someone doesn't beat me to it

I already e-mailed the developer about this. I got this reply on March 3:
Sorry for the late response. Yes, we are working on more updates for ASTRO. There will be a new one out soon.

I see one of two solutions:
1) We wait for a paid version.
2) Does anyone have an old copy of Bender that didn't have an expiration date?

I am just gonna use discover- i love this app and will pay for it when google decide to let us aussies pay for stuff. Sure it doesn't do the autobackup of apps but thats what terminal and cp -r are for!! my apps are on sd anyway.

Yeah I accidentally deleted all files on my SD Card with Astro. So I switched to Linda File Manager. I like it better anyway

Last time i checked Australia is outside of the u.s. Non u.s. users don't get paid apps in market last I heard.

In australia, note the post. Australia doesn't have access to paid apps yet through the market.

New update in the market! Still FREE!!!

yes- i am in australia.. hehe....
anyway, i have been trying the linda file manager since i got the beta message- i think i may prefer that instead......
update looks ok. needs to add wifi like discover....

After searching for a Paid version of ASTRO, I came across a newer version "ASTRO File Manager" that doesn't expire until 5/15. This should hold me over until someone posts the original Bender .apk or we find a more suitable alternative. (Not crazy about Linda File Manager)

After wondering what would happen if I changed the date on my phone I discovered that the time remaining is related to your system date. I set the date after the expiration time and Astro still worked fine. Maybe this could be a possible work around for beta apps in the future?

Question about Astro File Manager!
I've been using Astro for the past 2 weeks I've had my G1 and its been a great file manager. However, for some reason I can't change the file names of any zip files in my sd card through it... like ok, i used to do this in order to change themes straight from my phone but now when i change the name, it says "file cannot be renamed" and it simply creates an empty zip file named after w.e it is i attempted to rename my initial file in the first place.
Any idea why this is happening now? I actually got an update this morning, and i thought the update would fix this issue but it hasn't.

there should be a repository of old .apk files so we can use the older apps when these developers decide to start charging for apps that were once free. the beauty of opensource software is eventually most paid apps will have some sort of free alternative as people keep developing for android. for example tetherWifi was free at first and then the developer started charging $8.95. i bought the app because i needed it but a couple weeks later Wifi Tether for Root users came out for free. So if they start charging for Astro after the beta period i'll just switch to a free alternative.

open home vs ahome

Ahome + Open Home Desktop
I understand that Ahome themes are now compatible with Open Home but what about widgets made for ahome? I'm particularly interested in aHome QuickTweet. This looks and sounds like a awesome widget and if it works for Open then its a instant buy. Has anyone attempted this yet?

I'm wondering...........are the Openhome themes compatible with ahome?

Thats another good question. Theres a specific tab within open home that enables Ahome themes so I wouldnt bet on being able to do the opposite.

aHome and Open Home wont work on sdcard for me
Well if you saw in my other thread Open home stopped working for me since I formatted all my apps to go to my sdcard and now aHome stopped working too. I have come to realize this is because their old data files are still populated and this is causing problems with the apps to sdcard mod. Can anyone help me clear these archieves out or help me find a way to make them install without causing them to glitch out and just forceclose and not open? Thank You!!

i think just ahome has lots of issues lately. corrupted my data on sd twice already. back to open home. i did all they said with uninstall and new install and it messes everything up. have it installed and all but dont use it till some newer update.

Yeah but I think both of them corrupt their own data if its installed on the sdcard though. Cause they both work flawless on the first install but once i uninstall and reinstall then it all goes to hell.

rm -rf /data/data/com.betterandroid.openhome2
Deletes the Data stored by Open Home on the Phone and now my Open Home is working. So it seems like even though it is installed on the sdcard it stores information on both the device and the sdcard.

What are the differences guys? which one should i spend my money on?

Original Tmobile Aim, Msn Application

Does anyone have them so that I can install them? It didnt come with thedude's cupcake

From what I seen , I think the cupcake update removes the "IM" messenger and just has google talk

Cupcake doesn't remove it, thedude, anf jf's and h's builds of 1.5 are made from the adp version of 1.5, so you lose the t-mobile apps (aim, msn, favefive, amazon store).
The only ones of those I ever used was the fave 5, and I just installed anycut and made myself direct dialers on one of the screens, its faster anyways

I doubt you will find it and I suggest that anyone who has it to not post it as it's closed source software.
If you want it that bad then maybe you should go back to RC builds.

You could always wait for T-Mobile's official builds.
Then again, you're going to get much better battery life if the MyFaves app isn't continuously polling the T-Mobile servers for updates.

I just want the "im" app , cause I have Thedude's cupcake with app to sd.

If you use a 3rd party IM client it won't use up messages, meaning you can probably save money on your phone bill by ditching them.

Even if you did get the IM app from the RC33 build or whatever it probably wouldn't work. When Haykuro's 1.5 builds were coming out the IM app didn't work at all. There are several third party IM apps that work just as well. Use Market until the official T-Mo rom is released.

Here ya go, its an early beta of Hi AIM modded by me.

When is the tmobile cupcake rom going to be released?

Soon™
(filler)

no need to get out of topic, I bet everyone sees that question everywhere
but back to topic....yea that's wat I ment lyingit not that "cupcake removed it" lol, and there's I think any other apps for other messengers are better that the stock ones. but that's my opinion

did an adb install and got an error:
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
any ideas?

you must not have root? or havent turned on programs from unknown sources in options... try putting on your sd card, and installing using appinstaller.

No I have the same prob. Runnin lucidrem mod of jf 1.5 and I've been installing non market apps fine till I got this. So any resolutions to this?

ROM question....

I have tried a few ROMs here for my Hero and am not finding anything for what I need. Maybe I haven't looked enough but I have looked.
I have tried the Blue Froyo and Darch's 2.8 and neither let me play any of the music I have on my sdcard in a file called Music. On the stock ROM music player they show up just fine.
I also am having an issue with both not letting me use my voice mail properly, I have found the VVM zip and this only solves part of the issue for me. I still don't get proper notification of new messages. Instead I am getting two or more messages from 9016 for each new voice mail.
Any one point me towards a ROM that helps with both of these? Non-sense preferred but not a must. Sorry for being lazy but there are so many ROMs here and trying them all just to test these two things out would be very time consuming and asking these questions in all threads would be very redundant.

If you mean the nightly, I have and maybe I'm too picky because it isn't themed like the blue froyo is. It also has these two issues I'm asking about so that won't help.

You may need to reformat your SD card. There's really no reason it wouldn't play files from a "Music" folder unless it's having trouble reading the SD card somehow. Try reformatting the SD card (after backing up everything on it) and then reload all the files on it and try again.
As for the voicemail thing, on any AOSP-based ROM (DD, CM) those notifications from 9016 won't go away....it's kinda how android tells the Sprint VVM that a voicemail has been received, but to my knowledge no one has figured out how to disable those texts from coming in. Using Handcent SMS (an app from the market), you can supposedly blacklist the 9016 number but I'm not sure if that's a complete fix because I've never tried it myself. Most or even all Sense-based ROMs don't get that text.

Thanx I'll try that when I get home as I'm at work right now. Strange that all sense roms I've tried see my music fine but not these two which of course are my favorites. Came from a moment so sense is weird to me.
The voicemail thing I guess I'll learn to live with as I'm reserving an epic tomorrow @ RS.

Edit: ever have one of those moments where you say to yourself "why didn't I think of that" ? Well I should have but I feel so stupid I can't even think enough to do that right now...formating the sdcard did the trick....thanx again

Bump...so one of the 9016 messages I got for vvm looks like a command to turn on a notification. Just curious if this has been looked into. Maybe we could get this to work by tweaking the command or maybe the command isn't being ran because the receiving app needs tweaking?

I have seen that one, I am kinda partial to the blue froyo theme but I noticed that the nightly isn't themed. I will try that one out for theming the nightly, thanks. I've played with theming on another phone but haven't quite figured it out yet on the Hero or I'd just make one myself.
