Updating sideloaded app - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Most of the apps that I have is sideloaded. Is there any way to update these without losing all the app data?

How did you sideload it?
You can do a TiBU backup of just that app w/data. Then you update your application. Then do a restore with just the "data only" option.
Should do the trick.

if you sideloaded em via ADB - then adb install -r...

I just downloaded from my phone using the browser...

It should work fine. I do it all the time and its says something to the effect that 'the program will be updated but all data will be saved'.

I don't get what you mean... How do you even try to update?

Do you just sideload the newer version?

If you cannot install any apk from the Market you need to reinstall the rom clean.
Have you tried clearing Google Play data?

I had this problem before. If I remember correctly it was because I had installed the app from an .apk file and then tried to install from the market.

I had this problem in England, it wouldn't let me download it over the internet. I had to download over my network. Over the wifi the file was corrupted and it would not install, It took me a few goes for it to download properly though, just keep trying.

Maybe you have too much installed. Maybe you have apps that have left behind data files in /android/data/ - Games are pretty bad for this. Get DiskUsage from the playstore to find out whats using your memory.

A small Google Store App "Fix me storage" solves the problem within 5 seconds.
