Android Market Updates on Sideloaded Apps???

Hello everyone.
Is it possible to get Market updates on apps that are sideloaded?
Let me start by saying Yes, I Google (and forum) searched for a solution...probably for the better part of 2 hours and I couldn't find an answer.
I recently went from cupcake to CM 4.0.4 (great ROM). But before that, I used ASTRO to back up almost all of my apps to my SD. After flashing, I used ASTRO to restore my apps, but now none of them show in My Downloads in the Market. Also, when I search for an app that's installed on my phone, the Market doesn't recoginze that I have it installed.
Is there anything I can do, or do I have to download them again?

search for "atrackdog" in the market

Market will not care at all about sideloaded apps. It will only update the apps that it has recorded in its local database. Wiping deletes that database. It would definitely be nice if the Market had some kind of bulk reinstall, but you have to keep in mind that the AOSP team never intended for users to wipe their data/cache very often.

i guess learn how the market database works and then add all the entries back into database after reinstall?

aTrackdog is your best bet. I use it all the time and always tells me wehn there are updates for apps on my ext3 partition.

aTrackdog works well for finding the updates & once I install the update, it appears to register to the built-in notification system, but my purchased apps still aren't working.
I'll see what I can figure out about the Market database files & share whatever I find.
Thanks

I'm pathetic because I just goto the market using my wifi connection and search for all my apps and update them manually and then later I get notices. Sure it takes some time and its work, but I don't flash my roms a lot like I used to.

Two Apps Stuck, Can't Open, Can't Uninstall

So after getting back up and running thanks to numerous members of this forum, I re-downloaded all my apps, and everythings good except for two of my most-used apps: Facebook and Pandora. My phone is telling me that both are installed, but they're nowhere to be found. The Market app has "OPEN" and "UNINSTALL" on the bottom of the page, but both are greyed out and I cannot select either choice. There are no folders on my SDCard for either app, and I can't uninstall them as they don't appear anywhere on my phone. Also, I can't install them because the market app is reading them on my phone. I'm in a bit of a pickle, as these are are both important apps to me. Anyone who could help would, as always, be owed a beer if they find themselves in NYC.

your gonna have to uninstall them using atrackdog or some app that uninstalls other applications. if that doesnt work, wipe your ext partition, and re download everything.

ALL my apps are stuck now...
Okay, I did what was suggested and wiped my partition, and now I have none of the apps installed on my phone, but when I go to the Market to re-download EVERYTHING, the Market app says everything is installed, and again, the buttons on the bottom to either OPEN or UNINSTALL are greyed out and i can't click either. So now, instead of only having two apps like this, ALL MY APPS are not on my phone, I can't download them, and can't uninstall them.
Any ideas?

Wipe from recovery. You didn't need to clear your partition, just remove the apk's for those two apps.

Clear your market cache to start, I think that will do the trick. If that doesn't help - wipe your phone and repartition sd again.
Good luck

I have the same issue for two of my paid apps...this was after i flashed a hero rom and went back to cyanogenmod.Im stuck I tried wiping data through recovery.? help pls

Clear market cache, then fix permissions...Wipe then reflash if that doesn't fix it. Apps in /app-private also get screwed up when switching ROMs, that's why I pull them to /sdcard then reinstall them so they reside in /app.

[Q] How to manually update Market app?

Turned my phone on today and found that there were only my paid apps listed in "My Downloads" and none of the free apps I'd downloaded, did some searching and found the fix, which was to find an already installed free app, uninstall it via Market then reinstall. All my free apps returned to their rightful spot in "My Downloads".
Unfortunately before I had found that solution I did the usual troubleshooting of clearing the cache and data for the Market app itself.
Problem is that now the Market app won't update itself to the newest version (newest version has the "Update Automatically" checkbox for apps that I very much want back). Previously I'd cleared the data for the Market app and it had updated itself back to the newest version no problems, but for some reason this time it's not doing it.
Apparently the Market app updates itself if you open the Market, hit the Home key and then wait 10 minutes, but it's just not doing it for some reason. I've tried a number of combinations of reboots, clearing cache, force closing the Market app etc. etc. but have had no luck. I've found a few vending.apk files on the net including a few here on XDA but none of them seem valid as Package Installer doesn't recognize them as a valid apk.
Any suggestions? Milestone running stock 2.1update1, rooted.

I wanna update manually too, if it's possible?
I'm still on 1.82...

i don't know why. from China to help you up.

Users still looking for a way to manually install the market update should checkout this article h t t p://eugeneorourke.com/go/1369. It gives steps on how to update the market through recovery mode that worked well for me.

Android Market.. please help

I have my new Nook Color rooted to 3.0. I was able to use the Market perfectly fine for quite some time, downloading over a dozen apps. However, now it's giving me all sorts of problems. The last few downloads failed. If I try to redownload them, I never get a notification. It's like it forgot about me. Then it said I needed to resign into Gmail, and even with a valid password, it said it was wrong. Magically, without entering a password, it started working again. However, I still can't download everything.
I've tried to clear the cache on the Android Market app, and restart, but nothing. Now Google Talk won't authenticate. Ughh..
Please help!

Protip. Honeycomb isn't ready to be used for nook.

I know it's not fully operational, but I also know there's a way to get the Market working again. That's all I need to know.

No idea if this works, you could try downloading and installing the Cyanogenmod GApps package (can't post a link...it's easy to find on the official CM website).
Be prepared to bork your installation and have to reinstall HC completely, though. In general, you shouldn't expect much luck from a hacked SDK build that is soon to be obsolete.

Honestly, after doing some research, I think it's Google Talk. Other Android users have the same issue. If Talk won't connect (authentication failed), then Market won't work. I haven't found a solution though to the problem.. still looking.

Ok, I'm done with 3.0, this is frustrating. What's the best way to go from 3.0 to an earlier version of Android like 2.2 or 2.3?

I am running nookie froyo 0.6.8 from SD card. My Market also wasn't working and my google talk aslo failed to authenticate. I clear the cache for the market and I cleared the google services framework data and it worked again. I also found that have my install from unknown sources enable wouldn't allow my market to load at all. It gave me errors. If anybody knows how to fix that problem please help me. Good luck!

I found this and the market and cleared cache. I'm rebooting now. Hopefully this will fix it. Ughh...

Seriously, you're my hero. It worked after I did that and rebooted!
One problem though, while it's at least trying to download and install now (and works on programs like Pandora), I can't get Angry Birds or AB Seasons to install. It always says it was unsuccessful. Any thoughts?

I actually figured it out before I saw your post. Was coming here to post my discovery. Thanks though, again. I really appreciate your help. Loving my new Nook again.

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications >
Then make sure you look under the all tab. The downloaded tab is the default for me.
Also I don't take credit for this fix. Somebody else posted it and I was just saying that I had the same problem and that this solution worked for me as well and I wanted to add that having Unknown sources checked cause the market to not working for me not sure if others are having that problem.

Can the system be set to download games to internal memory instead of the SD card, so that we won't have to pull the SD card out? Is that possible just wondering?

Um, how can you get away with pulling the SD card if you're running the OS off the card?

Market is broken for me...
Can anyone help me out with this Market not working?
I'm running stock NOOKcolor ROM v1.1 with AutoNooter (for root) and ADW launcher. Everything was working great for me and when I tried to install the latest Market the Market stopped working. It loads, and I accepted the terms and conditions, then it drops back to the home screen (launcher desktop). And each new time I load it, it drops back to the home screen.
I tried clearing cache, and data for the Market. I tried unchecking the USB debug, and Allow Non-Market Installs. I tried removing the microSD card. I tried reverting back to the old Market. I tried looking for the Google Services Framework, but could not find it under all apps. Nothing is working for me.
Any suggestions or tips? Anyone else having this problem?

[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
