[Q] System Apps on Darky - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently installed Darky v9.5 and I love it. However, there is one very annoying little thing.
The "system apps" installed by the ROM, like Titanium Backup and a few other aren't "registered" in the market. That is, Market doesn't pick up that I already have it installed.
Was just wondering if there is some association that I can create so that Market will recognize it and update it natively.

If you are having the same issue I had (with most newer roms), you go into "Manage Applications", go to "All", find Market, and clear data. The next time you go into the market, it will rebuild (correctly) your app list in MyApps.

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.

Manually installed .APK's not in Market

Hi,
i just upgraded my Dream to CM4.1.9999. Did a wipe and everything works good so far. Before the wipe i backed u my aps with Astro. Now, on the new Rom i installed Astro and instaleld the backed-up apps. After installing them, when i look in the Market under "Downloads" those dont show up. In 4.1.4 i remember all Apps used to show up under there, regardless if hey were installed from SD or the Market. The reason why i mention this is, because now i wont get update notifications for those apps. Would be quite some time to reinstall each app from the Market.
Also, in CM4.1.9999 is it possible to turn of the Camera shutter sound?
Thanks!

Only apps installed by Market will show as installed in Market. What you saw with 4.1.4 is probably because you gone back fast enough. Just use aTrackDog to keep your apps updated. It's faster than the notification you get from Market anyways.
or so u can make sure they are paid for

3389 and Market

Ever since the update, I have been having a problem with Market. I have tried all of the "fixes" but to no avail. I DO have access to Market, but only the limited one. Here is my problem: when going through the steps, I get market started, browse around a bit, then go to my "home" screen,[ I use Launcher Pro]. I go to settings, but I cannot find Market under the Running section. I can't even find it under the System services, section. I see it under the Downloads section. When I do the steps as directed, nothing happens. I do not get the "error" message that I am supposed to get. And when I start up again, I still have limited access to Market. It is frustrating that most, if not all, of the app sites depend on access to Market, e.g. appbrain, droidpit, etc. I am not ready to go Tnt lite. I did see a thread to flash parts of the rom, and add market, etc, but am afraid it would disable OTA for the future. Any suggestions?

Losing the OTA is not that big a deal. Viewsonic posts a link to their updates on their site and a link is posted here within seconds of an update showing up.
Are you using "Market" or gMarket" that comes with the 3389 update?
When you run "Market" browse around and then hit the "home" button. Unless you have a taskmanager installed, market will stay running. Market should then show up under the "running" section. I am a little confused because I have never seen the Market under the "downloaded" section.
Thanks...
Thanks, BadFrog for the reply. I use Market. The gmarket gets me to Handango, which is really not that good. For some reason, Market does not show up under running, no matter what I do. I even tried to download a freebie to ensure it is running. But when I hit the home button, and go to the settings, it, as well as the other app I am supposed to force close are both under the downloaded, and not in running. Is there a way to reinstate OTA after flashing the market fix?
How exactly did you install the market. (I'm installing an older backup of tntlite becuase the menu structure is a bit different from vegan but the same as stock) I can install stock and market the way you did and see if I can help.

I had the same issue too with the market. I found this thread with the market fix. Just go to step 6 and follow the instruction on Youtube link.

I have the same problem after installing market and google apps through the same process. Everytime I launch market it says no apps found until I click one of the categories at the top. Even then, there are only some apps listed and most searches I try for apps I want to install (mog music for instance) aren't found by searching either.
I believe it has something to do with the version of the market, and whatever viewsonic put on the tablet by default? That said, I have tried to upgrade to the new market from an APK file I found in the forums here and it won't install. Hmmm

Thanks for the video link talexander18!! I'm was Vegan5 and still not getting the full market ... that did the trick for me.
Market
BadFrog, I used the files that came with the fix. It had a folder GTablet, with subfolders, and I transfered over files from the APK, permissions, etc, to my tablet, and I ran the apks, in the order suggested. I actually did this before the latest upgrade and it worked fine. But with the latest one, for some reason, Market, and the other google app I am supposed to force close won't come up in the running section.

I'm gonna assume your using the official viewsonic update 3389 then. I would suggest installing the performance pack from here

This will get you the latest NVidia drivers and the market. You will keep the complete stock look.
Yes, I guess that is what I will try next. Thanks.

Market and Installed Apps

So I tried the new MIUI rom for Milestone and I really liked it, I switched from CM7, and when I did a data restore from CM7 to MIUI, it made my phone freeze and not run properly, giving me system errors. So I wiped and did a davlik wipe as well. Did a nandroid restore to my CM7 rom and used Astro file manager to backup all my apps. Than I wiped again and flashed MIUI, than used astro to install all the apps again, but they do not show up as installed in my market. Just the purchased ones show up as not installed, just pruchased. Is there a way that I can fix it, so the market will detect me installed apps so I can update them. I was hoping to have to avoid reinstalled 50 or more apps.
Thanks, Adam.
Hope all that made sense lol

Use TITANIUM BACKUP and use the option to force app to show on market.
the Market Doctor? or is there another option? Will restoring my apps make them appear in the market?
Thanks.

Download the TITANIUM BACKUP and them look for the option to attach the app you want to the Market.
Simple like that.
search app call "google xxx architecture" in manage application, clear cache, reboot,relogin gmail, open market
off coz use tititum backup to save the app for DR
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
What about the apps that it didn't attach? it maybe did half...

[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
