It seems that since updating to the AT&T 2.2 Froyo update and rooting the market will not recognize any side loaded apps that have been added to the phone since upgrading to 2.2. All apps that I side loaded on 2.1 are recognized and can be updated but nothing on 2.2. Anyone else have this problem and if so have you been able to fix this issue?
I used SuperOneClick to root the phone and did a reboot the phone afterward to allow side loading of apps and it is working. I am still using the adb install command to side load all my apps, is this wrong?
If this is something that is not to be discussed I apologize now.
Well I don't have a direct answer to your question but since you are rooted I highly suggest you go and get Titanium Backup along with atrackdog.
The former application will alloa you to backup any applications you want (or aall of them) and then save them to your computer. you can then move the folder to any phone and use Titanium to reinstall the applications exactly where you left off. That means launchers will have the same layouts and games will still have their save states.
The latter will allow you to check the update status of those applications since they won't show up as downloaded applications from the market.

Titanium Backup has been installed since rooted on 2.1 but will have to check out atrackdog. Thanks for the help so far.

side loaded paid apps will NEVER show in market.
free ones can be restored...
tibu has never been able to restore market links for me either.
there used to be a program MCleaner but it got taken off the market..
but all it did was this (do it yourself)
Menu button > Settings > Applications > Manage Apps > All > Market
- force stop
- clear data
- clear cache (if availavle)
restart market > my apps

Actually, it does. Market only keeps track of the apps you buy/download through it. What you're asking is like expecting Wal-Mart to know what you bought from Target.
Hey guys I just had a question while reading through the replies.
I downloaded atrakdog and got a list of all the apps needed to be updated.
One of the apps was the market..
Mine is version 2.3.4
I need to update to 5.0.12
How do you update market? Btw I'm running cm7 does this effect it?
Sent from my phone
Market should update automatically. As far as the sideload apps you can. Also get root explorer and copy paste them to system/app then reboot and they'll all be there.

So your are saying instead of using adb installer just do a drop and drag to the system/app folder and install them that way? Now will that put them in the market place? I don't quite understand what you are really saying here. Excuse my ignorance.

That's exactly what I was thinking was moving the file to the system/app file then reinstalling the .apk first then doing the 3 button reboot to see if it would recognize the app on the market. I did try just a 3 button reboot after side loading a few apps using ADB Installer and just doing the normal drop and drag to the sim card and I know that doesn't recognize them. I am going to try and reinstall one of my apps that way and I will let you know if it shows up or not.
When trying to move a new .apk file to the system/app file it says "You cannot paste here because the file system is a read-only."

You have to click the small window at the top of the screen in root explorer that changes r/o to r/w. You have to do that in each directory you want to edit.

I have some non-market apps that i downloaded on my computer. Is there a certain place I am supposed to copy the .apk on the phone or am I supposed to use a program? I've heard some thing about AppsInstaller but I am still not 100% sure about how the process goes. I've got the OCLF and Titanium back-up working so I'm pretty sure my root is good as well.

Go into the Market and search for "Astro". Its a file manager. Once you've downloaded it open it up and go to whatever directory that you saved the apk's to. Select whichever apk you want to install, and the default application installer should come up. Also if you have the Vibrant you could use the stock file manager. Hope this answers your?.

I am posting the deleted apps zip in the slim thread right now, sorry for the delay. You will probably have to use a root explorer and put applicationmanager.apk into the /system/app folder and you may have to restart afterwards

I recently installed WidgetLocker and installed it in my system/app folder as I read it would work best if installed there. But have come to just not like using it and just gone back to the default kindle lock screen and changed the background wallpapers. I can't seem to find a place on the device or apps I use to uninstall it.
And deleting the .apk from the system folder works, but am unsure if everything is removed.
Would I just delete the .apk in the system/app folder then remove any links/shortcuts or is there another, proper, way to do it?

The app manager of a handy program called ROM TOOLBOX can uninstall system files. Just load it, then a long press on the offending "app will reveal menu including uninstall.

ok here is what I would do
http://androidcommander.com
download this file, connect your phone with adb debugging enabled. This program will find your device, from there you can open an extracted rom browse the rom until you find the HTC TV app and install it as a system app,
I did this for my evo 3d when devs took out the 3d widgets I used.

no if you double click the apk file for HTCTV another window will open, when you click install a third window will open and the last option is install as a system app, select that one and click install
this will chmod the app file as 777 allowing it be executed. I think your system is not set as rw and only as ro.

Neat app. Followed the instructions went exactly as you described, install was "successful" but nothing shows up in my app drawer. Rebooted to see if that would fix, still no dice.

Try moving them into /system/app and then restart. If they don't appear in the app drawer then I guess try going into /system/app and installing the apk.

Omg. Look what I've done. I apologize. D:
I guess the next step is to install KIES and plug your phone into the computer. I should surely tell you the software version. If you're still on MI9 then you have it made because an ODIN exists for that. If you're on MJ5 perhaps someone with more experience than I can chime in on how to flash stock.

I completely forgot about that. You are right.
@Tenacious--M you need to change the permissions to rw-r--r--. I use root explorer to do this. At this point it may be futile but it's worth a shot.

Follow these instructions exactly. no one guided you in detail.
1) Open root explorer if those apks are already in your /system/app folder, press R/W at the top and it will become R/O.
2) Now go to those files you are trying to install. Long press on them and select permissions. Then check all 3 boxes of the first row (READ) and only the 1st box of the second row (WRITE) and no boxes of the third row (EXECUTE). This will make your permissions rw-r--r-- as mentioned by the previous poster.
3) Now press the R/O at the top so it becomes R/W and reboot your device.
That's it. Your system apks will auto install themselves upon reboot. You never are supposed to press install within the system folder, which is why it wasn't working for you in the first place.
