[Q] Few questions about downloading apps

I just rooted my nook color today using the auto nooter and the youtube app isn't working so I was gonna download Titanium backup and remove the app to reinstall and hopefully fix it. Now my question is can I just access the market on my nook color and download Titanium backup or do I have to do it through my comp? The same question applies to launcher pro can I just download it straight from nook?

You can download titanium backup from the marketplace. Haven't checked on the other.

Titanium Backup definitely works from the Market. You don't need to reinstall Youtube.apk though. You can just "Wipe Data" for Youtube from Titanium Backup, and it will work again. You can't sign in to your channel though; the same problem will occur again if you do.
LauncherPro is also available through there, but not sure if it requires any modifications. There are a couple threads in the development forum about it.

Excellent. Using Titanium Backup to "Wipe Data" worked perfectly. Thanks!

I may have just fixed YouTube on my rooted NC. I had tried to log in using my gmail account, but it seems that YouTube only wants your YouTube account username and password. I have never set up such an account, so did so, linked to my gmail account, and after wiping the data for YouTube app using Titanium as described above, I went to My Channel, accepted the terms, and then signed in using my new YouTube account username and password. Success!

Missing applications from my apps in market

I own a nexus one, and after upgrading to gingerbread, some applications which are installed such as dolphin browser and soundhound are installed but are not listed as installed on the market and thus I don't get update notifications for them.
I tried to clear data on the market app to re sync the installed apps but it had been disabled on gingerbread
Can anyone shed some light please?
Thanks in advance,

Do they at least appear on the market?

Yes, I even re-installed the apps, still not showing in my apps though.

You might be able to use Titanium Backup's "Market Doctor" function to re-establish the application links to the Market, though I believe that requires root.

Give it some times, they'll probably come back on it's own.
If not use Market Doctor like suggested, that might or might not solve it.
It has happened to me here and there and usually fix itself.
Another thing you can try is download an app, any app (something free that can be delete afterward) and see if that bring the missing apps back.

Random Titanium Backup Question

After searching the forum I cannot find the answer, so I am hoping someone has run into this issue as well.
Everytime I flash a ROM I restore my apps and app data from Titanium (no system data), which works fine every time. However, one of those times I decided to run the Market Doctor and "fix" the market links. What I forgot about before I did that is not all of my apps come from the Android market, some come from the Amazon market. So the apps from the Amazon market are now associated with the android market and show up as needing to be updated, which fails of course because some are paid apps on Android so the download/install is declined. I have tried uninstalling from Android and reinstalling from amazon, then restoring data only from Titanium, but the Android market still hangs on to them. Is there anyway to "unfix" what Titanium did via the Market Doctor? This also applies even after wiping and installing a new ROM because it is now associated with the Android market on their end, not only on my device of course. A wipe data of the android market doesn't work either.
Any thoughts? Thanks everyone!

Had the same problem but i use app manager now and it gives me the option to unlink the app from amazon but the funny thing is it still shows up randomly. So i gave up on it.

1) Open Titanium Backup
2) Go to the "Backup/Restore" tab
3) Find the App which is now wrongly associated with the Android Market
4) Long press on that App in the App list
5) Click "Detach from Market"
I don't know of any way to do this in bulk, but this is what's worked for me

Tibu and market problems

I was using Tibu to try and unlink an app from the market. I kinda lept before I looked :banghead: and destroyed all my market links.
Now I can't see any apps purchased
or installed in my apps on the market.
I've tried market doctor in Tibu, flashing latest gapps, clearing cache. Also a complete reinstall of the ROM.
Any idea how I can get the market to see my apps again?.
Also I am logged in it notices my account.

Have you tried restoring your backups? That should bring back the market links unless you turned off that setting in the preferences. Also, have you tried downloading a free app? Sometimes that causes the market to "refresh" itself. I actually have the opposite problem where I can't get a market link to stay destroyed!

In Tibu, hit menu, market tools, market doctor.
Then go to settings, applications, manage applications, all, market, and clear data.
Then you open the market you'll have to accept the end user agreement again, and all should be golden

Tried the free app. Didn't work.
No joy with market doctor and clearing cache either.

Not clearing cache, clearing market data.

My mistake it was data I cleared. Still can't see my apps. New old or paid.
I wonder if I install a different ROM would help?

Skype force closes

I have the kindle fire hd 7 inch non rooted. Skype works perfectly while kindle is on. After maybe ten mins of having the screen off, when I receive a call it rings but when I unlock the device a little box in the middle says "skype force closed", or something like that, and you can either choose "wait" or "ok". Anyone else experiencing this? I was thinking of using the phone version instead of the kindle version to see if it is better.

try this
Try using the program "Skype Boot." You don't need to have the Play Store installed; use go to the 1Mobile website, download the installation APK, install, open, and search for the Skype Boot program--enables opening Skype at boot up. I'm not sure it will help you, and you'll have to reboot to try it. I'd uninstall your version of Skype, and select to download the one fresh from the Amazon App store labeled for Kindle Fire. When you uninstall, select to uninstall from the app settings menu--completely wipe the program. Force close, wipe data, then wipe cash, then uninstall. That's just what I'd do. Then re-install the app, selecting it from the app store.
Sign in to it. I have a microsoft account I sign in with. probably doesn't matter. after that, go and open the Skype boot app from 1Mobile ('cause you didn't have any issues installing that, right? SHOULDN'T). Select to load Skype at bootup. Navigate out of that app, and reboot, see if that helps.
I've things a bit different in my setup; I'm rooted, and I used titanium backup to convert Skype to a system app. It hasn't force closed since yesterday when I rebooted. Also, if I go to my settings menu and look at installed applications and select to view running applications, Skype is not listed as running, but it definitely is (showing Online status in the notifications pull-down).
Just FYI, there's no harm in rooting, it won't break anything--but installing the Play Store is a bit complicated. Most people, myself included are not remotely interested in installing a recovery or flashing a ROM; it's risky, and any ROM you might flash at this point will seriously decrease the KFHD functionality. At this point this thing Flies, especially in comparison to the original KF. Flash a ROM and you likely won't even be able to play video (hehe, you might brick it too, if you're lucky!). Don't hold your breath on getting a ROM that actually improves Amazon stock function. That kinda broke even with the original KF, and with HD I don't think the incentive is really there to move and shake, dev-wise.

Fyi, the only rom available for the kindle fire hd 7" (other then the original) is Kinology. And it is above and beyond better then the stock P.O.S. rom.
