I noticed that on my Froyo enabled HD2 every time I install a new build the market automatically installs the apps there were downloaded previously. Is there a way for this to be enabled on Captivate ROMs? If this has been asked and answered somewhere else, please let me know. Thanks.

You can use Titanium Backup to achieve the exact same thing.
Mine has always done that, maybe because I restore my Android ID. I flash my phone at least 2 times a week.
EDIT: Mis-read OP, my apps are not automatically installed but the Market seems to keep a history of FREE as well as PAID apps I had previously installed.
It may have to do with the product id. I know my aria did what you describe and I think the stock rom did as well. The froyo leaks mess up the android id and the efs folder. It may be responsible for our lack of that feature

Only ROM for the Captivate that's every done this for me is the Cyanogen 6.1 Beta I tried out a while ago. Apps immediately just started downloading lol.
I thought touchwiz ripped that feature out.
I'd also like to request this. Titanium backup is different.
Having the right android id # only had about 1/4 of my free apps be saved so that didn't work for me

Not exactly the same thing. I have to install TiBu (which is in the market) if I have not created the zip file to install via ClockWork or if it is not in the ROM already.
Have you seen what I am referring to? It is a much better process because it fully automated; add your google account and it begins pulling down your apps (including TiBu).

I have two different devices, Samsung Captivate and an HTC HD2. I use the same google account on both. I recently installed a newer, different ROM, put in my google account and it began to download the apps that I have loaded on my Captivate. If it is ID related, it does not seem to be a problem between devices.
How can I ensure that I am using the same ID on my Captivate between flashes?

I have noticed that when I use TiBu to restore between flashes I get FC on app. I think this may have something to do with the Market ID option checked in TiBu. I have not been able to find a doc to explain these settings, so I end up having to redownload all my apps. As long as I am restoring on the same ROM I am good. However, if I try to restore between flashes (sometimes even between build updates) TiBu fails. Not sure why this happens.

I went under settings, applications, and I do not have an option anywhere under any of the menus including development menu to allow applications to install from unknown sources. I have done everything in the Captivate User guide(rooting,backup,recovery).
I am trying to install market enabler.
Phone is Rooted.
Go to the development section and look at the sticky called enable sideloading. Or you can load the stock rom and use sre and it will enable it for you.

SRE! I think it is suggested to un-root first. Check the sre thread, its a rom and kernel that roots, overclocks, removes bloatware if you want, unlocks tethering, installs busy box, installs app to fool the market so it thinks you're on another network and opens the ability to install unknown sources all in one update.zip.
Flash to stock with the odin one click and rename the sre file to update.zip and reboot into recovery and reinstall packages you'll have everything you ever want in a phone. For now.

No you can be rooted as long as your on the stock rom. I've flashed back and forth from sre to another rom a few times and as long as your on the stock firmware its fine if your rooted. Matter of fact I would recommend rooting stock, then clockwork mod recovery nandroid backup of stock rom before moving on to another invade there are problems. If you use Odin beforehand, I'm pretty sure it will wipe your backups making them useless. ymmv
I am having the same issue. When I try to install an app it says "Install blocked for security, your phone is set to block installation of application not sourced in Android Market". As a safty feature it will not let me install any file/app that was not downloaded from the market place. How did you get it to work? My friend has the same phone but thru verizon, he said all he had to do was go into settings/applications and uncheck some security feature. Please help.

Hey guys,
I've got a problem on my Nexus one running Cyanogen 6.1 RC1. Basically I wanted to try out the FM radio so I plugged in my headphones and no sound comes out at all. I went on the setting and changed it to UK, I've used loads of different headphones, bluetooth is definitely on etc and I have no idea why it won't work. I watched loads of videos of people just turning their FM radio on and it just works straight away.
Any help?
Thanks
You did turn the radio on, right?

titanium backup pro. it costs very little, and restores with a press or two.
i've used the fm radio app on my n1 several times, on several roms, and it's fairly consistant / fast / usable. currently i'm using 6.1 RC1
Use TuneIn radio from the Market. Its the best radio app now in my opinion.

I've actually got it but I don't know I guess it's kinda like when you format a PC haha.
So how would I go about sorting this? Wipe data and reinstall ROM?
Is anyone else having problems selecting the normal radio stations? All of my radio stations display with an even number in the decimals place even if I manually enter in a radio station with an odd number in the decimals place, e.g. 103.2 instead of 103.3. I'm wondering if this has to do with the 5_12 kernel that I'm using. Thoughts?

Use Titanium batch option to back up all your apps and data. Install new ROM (first back up current ROM, just in case). Flash latest gapps. Install Titanium, and batch restore apps and data. Reboot.
I use App Monster to make a backup apk of Titanium on my SD. That way, when the new ROM is installed, I can skip the setup process (touch 4 corners at touch android screen, clockwise, starting at top left), open a file manager, install the backup Titanium apk, then restore everything. If you don't do this, you have to add all your details to log into the market to dl Titanium again, and then all your apps start to auto install without data... :-/

use dsp manager to see if it's a setting. if not, flash cyanogenmod 6.1 RC1, after using ti backup. the pro version will let you re-install all your applications AND settings easily enough.
nandroid is something you should do before anything else, and if you have, try reverting to an earlier known good setup.
personally, titanium backup + flashing fixes everything.

You can uninstall the FM radio via Titanium or Root Explorer. Reboot, and then reinstall.
I prefer to simply add .bak to the existing apk file in the system/app folder, using Root Explorer. That way, if the new install doesn't work, you can always rename the old file back to its original name...

I did it and it simply didn't work. I installed the latest Nightly and it worked however Titanium backup was restoring really old apps and kept on restarting when I was restoring some apps so I recovered using nandroid, deleted all older backups, made a fresh copy, made a new nandroid copy and now retrying - fingers crossed!
for my last few roms that ive been using it has always said i dont have any apps downloaded from the market, then includes apps i restored and new apps that i have downloaded, how do i fix this?

Are you experiencing issues with market? If so you can get your id back 2 ways. Back to stock, save it, flash rom, load saved, change.
If you have a nandroid of stock look in zip for I think dbdata file. Copy over to your pc. open text it with text editor. Search android_id. android it down. Change id using android id changer

Good sirs,
Recently, like since last week, I cannot see any of my installed apps in the Android Market, under "My apps". Consequently i also cannot see any updates to those apps.
The ONLY thing, I see there are the apps I have purchased, and any apps I newly install...
I have a captivate running cognition 2.1.6.
anyone else having this issue?
HELP!!!
Have you tried clearing the data?
Menu button->Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Third Party Tab then scroll down and choose Market then click Clear Data.
Try the above first, if that doesnt work, go to the market and download Eris Market Fix. This app worked for me on my captivate before.
im running 2.1. dont see a third party tab.
but i did clear the cache. did not help.
then tried uninstalling the updates to market. it said uninstall failed.
Now my market is completley gone!!
I'd suggest three other things then...
First would be to restore from a backup... you did backup your apps when you flashed right?
Second would be to use or get SGS Tools and try the Market Fix option there. Find it here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936727
Third would be to search vending.apk That's the market apk, then download it and sideload it.

BTW, I heard that using the new market web interface will break the market on devices with custom ROMs. is this true??!
I haven't heard of anything lime that. When I was on 2.1, I had a blackmarket app that allowed.me to upgrade my market interface. I have never had a problem with not being able to see free appear tho. I suggest backing up anything you have that's important and after attempting any fixes that others will and have spelled out, try a ODIN3 restore. I don't have any links but it will fully restore your phone to stock. Some of your data should still be there but it will do a full wipe and restore. Other than that, don't listen to me. I only have 3 posts.......

For those of you that do not want to DeOdex their phone manually, here's a script I created to do it for you. I've created this same script before for the Droid X, and it's quite simple. Here's what you need.
1) Your phone must be Rooted.
2) You must install Bionic_Bootstrapper.
Below you can find these items.
COMPLETE GUIDE TO ROOT AND BOOTSTRAP
Once you have that.... download my DeOdexer and put it on your sdcard.
Bionic_AutoDeOdexer
MIRROR
Reboot into recovery. BACKUP YOUR PHONE!!!!
Once that completes, then go to install from zip. Choose file from zip... find the Bionic_DeOdexer zip file... and run it.
There is a script at the beginning that checks the build.prop file and makes sure you have the correct build. You must have 5.5.1_84_DBN-55. If you do not, I hope it fails.
Reboot.... and all should be good. Now that you are DeOdexed.... have fun theming!
As you should know, do this at your own risk. Yes, I've tested this on my phone and had no issue. This doesn't mean you won't experience a problem. I'm not responsible for what happens to your phone.
ENJOY!!!
Worked great. Saved me a lot of time from manually deodexing.

Have you removed or touched any of the system/app/ 's ?
I'm running the rooted stock rom. I haven't removed any programs or modified/renamed anything in /system/apps, however, I did freeze some of the bloat using TB. Do I need to defrost the apps first before running this script, or does it matter?

If you modified any of the APKs, to include freezing them, I cannot guarantee it will work. Best thing is to be completely stock and rooted. At least that's the way I did this script.
Thanks for the answer! TB has a batch defrost, so if I decide to go ahead & run this script, I'll defrost everything first.
I did mine with frozen apps and it seems to be working well. Was able to install the 1% mod and use a custom battery icon too.

Good to know. I do know that depending on how the person downloads some packages, they may get corrupted during download. If it fails one time... try again. If it continues to fail, re-download and try again.

Kind of a goofy question, but is there any reason that deodexing the stock (rooted) rom would worsen data loss issues?
The reason I ask is that I reverted to stock yesterday after experiencing substantial data problems with UNLEASH3D 1.5. Ran well for the entire day and this morning. Then, a couple hours ago, I ran this script and have had nothing but issues since, with both WiFi and cellular data dying, and not coming back without a reboot. Reverted to stock again, and all is normal.
Any ideas?

I have these same issues on stock, on .892 and on any roms - I really think it is just the phone :/ - there is a known bug on the bug list about data connectivity issues.
Btw the .892 radio is complete crap.... at least on my phone it is...
Market Apps
After running this script, I noted that my normal list of around 60 or so market apps is now showing only around 13 apps. Also, the market app asked me for authorization when I started it up. So, I don't know if this script, or maybe an automatic update to the market app has caused my missing downloaded apps.
They are still on the phone, and still backed up with TB, but they are not shown in the market My Apps page.
Any thoughts or solutions?

...Argh, never mind, this phone seems to have a mind of its own. The account chosen for My apps was not my main google account but another one. Not sure how this happens, but I find little things like this all the time with Android. My favorite is that my email delivery settings (push vs. manual vs. schedule) seem to change on their own!
