Is there an app that restores missing market links ? - G1 Apps and Games

see title ^^
Apps restored from backup, but backup were corrupted.. could save app+data but no market link so no update notifications, doesnt wanna "over install" 40apps from market (search name, install though already installed)
aTrackDog e.g. shows all apps and if i click them , opens them in market.. but i didnt found a way that it just adds the market link to the allready installed application^^

Look up Titanium Backup.
Open the app, press Menu and select Market Doctor.

This would only restore market links from apps i've backed up with titanium backup with market links. But they come from nandroid and went missing :-/

Titanuim backup not restoring. Links for me. Donate version.

try installing a new app (you can unistall it later)
normally it will recover then.

hey, i wanted to find an answer to this as well. i don't think there's a way to do it if you didn't back up the links.
before flashing a new ROM, i pulled all the .apk's from my phone so that i could install them via "adb install" later. they installed fine, but didn't show up in market.
i think there's a database that holds links between the market and apps you install via the market. titanium backup will back up those links, and restore them later. it doesn't "create" missing links by scanning the apps you have installed and then linking them to the market. it only restores links that it backed up.
installing a new app to "refresh" the market links only works if you've restored previously backed-up links.
if someone can prove me wrong that would be great, cuz i hate installing from the market.. so damn slow cuz it tries to do a bunch of stuff all at once. plus it's easier to script the adb installs.

From settings go to Applications, Manage, click All select market and delete the data. Reboot phone and it should rebuild its databases

Restore or backup market collection

Hi all,
When you do a flash and goto the market all your downloaded apps are gone. Is there a possibility to backup a file where the whole list of your downloaded apps are listed so you will see them in "My downloads" on the market?
or
When you have backup all the apks and install then that you can restore the link to the market so you will notify when there is a update of the application?
cheers,

Titanium apk
I was wanting to know if someone had the apk file for titanium backup. My market wont download after I went back to fresh 1.1 from 2.0. I need to backup my contacts. Thanks
Nevermind I got it off his website

Backup market db without root?

I'm on the stock N1 and want to unlock the bootloader, which will force a wipe.
Whilst I can backup the installed apps to .apks on the sdcard with several apps as far as I know when they are restored they will not be 'linked' to the market, so I won't get update notifications for them.
'backup for root users' and 'titanium backup' can back up the market db, but you need to be root in the first place, which N1 users cannot be.
Is there a way to backup the market db without root?
Or maybe 'fix' the market data during/after the reinstall of the .apks?
Back them up to the sd. When you root reinstall and use atrackdog to check for any updates. If you do update the app in the market then it will show from that point on through the markets update notification.
Or... You can download Titanium Backup from market
EDIT... Sorry, it says you need root for it... I coulda sworn it didnt say that before...
both mybackup pro and app manager can backup aps to sd card without root.. then you can use thm to restore after rooting.

He is 100% correct about this but if you look for app manager it is now call app monster. The pro or free versions will work.

Thanks guys, but I'm sure I used MyBackup to do this ages ago with my G1. It restored the apps OK but they didn't show up as 'installed' in the Market so Market doesn't give you updates.
I notice MyBackup now has a 'root' section in the preferences which includes a 'Market db' option. The only other apps I've seen that can do it require root so it looks like maybe it can't be done :-/
Failing that I'm now looking for the restore solution with the least clicks, then jerrycycle's idea of ATrackDog (thanks!). AppMonster doesn't have a batch install, App Manager (by Amazing Droid) does and pops up the usual install dialog so thats 2 clicks per app.
AppBrain looks cool, you can make a backup list of your apps on the web, then resync after wipe, but it does a market search for each one which is quite a lot of clicks It does note protected apps though, which the others can't dump so I'd loose track of them.
hmmm not going well. Market shows all apps I had installed but as 'free', it thinks they're available to install. If I install the app from SD - I've tried MyBackup, Astro and AppManager - it is available in the launcher but still listed as 'free' in the market.
Looks like only way to do it is to go down the list in Market and manually install each from there.

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

[Q] Create a download list for Market?

Good day everyone, I have a small question which might sound odd to some of you, please note that I am aware of nandroid and titanium backup etc... as i have purchased titanium backup and find it extremely useful i know exactly what it does.
My question is pretty simple, is there an app that one can download and use, which makes a list of all apps installed and can backup that list either online or on the phone or in whatever way possible, and if one has to restore a phone or install a new rom etc.. can restore that list and the app would RE-DOWNLOAD all apps from market. I DON'T WANT TO RESTORE the apps from a backup, i just want an automated system to re-download and install the apps from the market directly. I know this might not make any sense to some/most of you, but the reason is quite simple, I've used titanium backup to make backups of my apps, but once restored some apps FC, and i can't be bothered to go through all apps one by one to check which are good and which need to be re-installed after every recovery I do. I know appbrain can show you what apps are installed, but i couldn't figure out a way to create a shopping list which i can use to re-install all the apps from the market after i do a rom isntall.
Thank you.
Rodi
erm..... as for apps i think there is only Titanium what can do batch restore.
re-downloading all your apps would really take a long time.
CM7 (ROM) does this, but do you really wanna swap ROMs for this reason, i doubt it.
can i just ask, when you use Titanium, are you restoring system data too ?? because this is the reason what causes FC's , i have suffered this before.
when using Titanium, its best to restore app + app data ONLY, system data is data kept from the previous ROM, therefor it causes issues (FC's) with the new ROM.
Yes, appbrain and the fast web installer does that.

For the time it takes, i don't mind, i'll set it on wifi and let it do it's thing, as for the question about app data and system data, well I don't backup system data, and when i restore i only restore apps only not even apps data, then on a 4-5 apps i restore app data.
markdj57: thx for the answer, can you give me a quick rundown on how to do it through appbrain? as i couldn't find a way to make it download the list of apps
Thank you fellas,
Rodi
AppBrain i download and frequently save the apps list .
Click on app and check install likewise on phone open AppBrain and install/Update .
Its not an automated process.
jje
Go to appbrain website and login using your google account.
Install appbrain and fast web installer from android market.
Sync with appbrain website using app.
On new firmware, do a sync. Appbrain detects new firmware so go to website and you will see 2 lists of apps. Copy all apps to new list and delete old list (optional) be careful you don't delete wrong list.
Enable fast web installer app.
Sync appbrain app. Hit the install button and all your apps will install. Sometimes takes a few times if all apps aren't available in market.
For a few days, some of my paid apps were not visible in the market but it sorted itself out eventually.
Hope this helps

Titanium backup fails

Hello,
Today i changed rom, i made a backup with titanium backup of some of my games and offcource my contacts. They are foldered on my sd card,but after installing the nieuw rom he cant find these apps.So i cant restore them!
I went to my sd card and i see a map titanium backup with my old apps in it.
What is the best way to fix this?
Tnx allready
Go in settings , backup parameters, and make a new search on sdcard.
In the backup/restore tab, click edit filters, the select "Uninst." in the "By type" section, then apply. That should show up your backups.

Yes lol forgot to say that, by default titanium shows only installed apps.
Hmm, last time i tried to import my Apps, half of them werent able to start...
This problem appeard again and i really dont know how to fix the map with tibackups in it is on my phone and on my sd card and it just wont work!
he does not show options at restore!
had this issue when I had the paid version of TB....then I was suggested by one senior to have the latest free version and using the paid key....I could restore the apps using the TB batch restore....maybe you can download the TB free version from the market and install it...dont forget to uninstall the old version....force stop first and then uninstall...
Hope it helps...it worked for me
