cannot download new apps following removal of pre installed ones. phone rooted. no backup
Are you getting an error message when you start a download? Does this count for both free and purchased apps? Are you at all able to open the Market application? Describe what happens.

Hi everyone,
just wondering as I did my first order (BlueEx) for my Dream machine.
What happens if I format my device (install another cooked rom)? do I lost my application? do I download it again for free as I have the same gmail account? is there any way of grabing my apk install file?
thanks for your help, sure it's just 1.4€ for the moment, but if I went for documents2go or any other more expensive app (wisepilot....), I would not format my device anymore!
paid apps can be downloaded from the market again at no cost, but yes you will have to reinstall everything.
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew how to get your paid apps. moved from original gmail account to another gmail account. (Going to delete original account) Thanks.
You can pull the app off of your device using adb pull. I believe some backup apps can also backup apk files onto sdcard. One thing to note is that if you reinstall your own backup from a file rather than the market, you will not be able to get updates from the market. Only apps installed using the market app will show up on the Downloaded list (and thus be updatable without a repurchase).
Also, if the app in question is a protected app (not all paid apps are) then you will need root to pull it out of app-protected.
I wonder if there isn't some way to transfer your Market app licenses from one gmail account to another. You might have to contact Android Market support about it.

I figured it out, first you wipe in Recovery then Reboot, log into original Gmail account (The one with your purchased Apps.) go into Market and redownload your purchased Apps., now get out of Market and go to Settings/Applications/Manage applications, scroll down till you get to Google Apps, click on that and press Clear data now Reboot and go back to Market and it'll ask you to log in again, log in with new Gmail account and all your stuff will sync, Contacts ect... and after a few minutes your purchased Apps. will show up in My downloads.

Thank you for the Tutorial - it worked for me until I wanted to install a Update of a purchased App:
they are all shown in My downloads & Market tells me that there is a Update available. When I click update it shows me the Buy button & the Price of the app?!
What can I do now? Any ideas?
hi guys,
my apologies in advance if the below seems like a drag. but, my issue is as follows.
bout two days ago, i flashed my stock 2.2 Galaxy S with a custom ROM from here/rom kitchen. before doing a wipe and flashing the new ROM, i backed up all the apps (apk files) i had installed using Astro file manager.
once i flashed with the new custom ROM, i re-installed all the apps (apk files) using the file browser.
now, the issue is, when i go into the "my apps" tab of the market app, it doesnt list any of my apps as they were not installed thru the market, which means that i won't be receiving updates for the apps i've got installed.
is there any way i can get my apps to appear in the market app or to get updates through the market app?
any help on this would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance,
cheers
actually, this is no longer valid!!
funny thing is, i checke the market app bout a couple of hours ago and it didnt show any of the installed apps....
then, i checked again just a few minutes after submitting this and vola!! the market has synched with my gmail account and now it nicely displays the apps i have installed.... talk about timing!!!
Searched but didn't find anything really relevant in 8 pages. Flashed CM7.0.3 & DarkTremor A2SD. In MarketPlace under Myapps section I only see purchased apps and not free apps previously downloaded. I ran market doctor from titanium backup and it says found no recoverable market links. On the MarketPlace website, under My Library, I can see all of my free apps and they say installed.
I ran a test and downloaded a free app on phone's marketplace, showed up in my apps section of marketplace on phone, rebooted for testing purposes, and the free app is still present there, although it is labeled as "free" and not as "installed" like on froyo.
I don't remember any of my apps recently being updated on phone, looked at titanium backup as an example and older version installed compared to what is available on marketplace.
Am I going to have to bite the bullet and reinstall every single app from hand through marketplace on phone in order to restore listing under myapps and get updates/update notifications?
Doesn't sound right. When you restored with titanium backup the apps went back to your phone but not the market links this is it? If yes then why don't you just do force attach to market or try and see if you can redo the install trough TB and get all the market links. And this is probably a stupid question but are the market links backed up in titanium?
Hello all,
I am now facing the installation problem on Google Maps after my Galaxy Note has been installed "ROCKET-v22-LA4-eybee1970". After I found the Google Maps could not be updated, I have been uninstalled it by using the Titanium backup "free version". Then, I go back to the Market and try to re-install it. Despite many attempts, installation failed with the same box appeared to tell me [Error - Unknown error code during application installation:"-8" ].
Please tell me what to do?
With so many thanks.
I had the same problem. I guess I forgot to convert the Map to "user app" before I deleted it with Titanium backup. (To convert to and from user/system app in TB, long press the Map application and choose convert to user app or vice versa)
When I forgot the above routine and got the same error as you, downloaded http://www.mediafire.com/?qx0x8bu3oag9u0b and installed it. Then converted to system app. Now version 6.3 was updated without any problems through the market as well!
Thanks. It's really worked. With many many thanks.

Hello
I had almost the same pb as you...
which software to you use to convert system apps to user apps ?
I use Link2SD for information and it's work fine.
For messaging, I delete it. You can download other apps like Maildroid, inomail....
But you don't have market anymore
I've done the same mistake as you , and after severals try, I found this solution :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231358
First you download and install Old market on your smartphone, and during the installation, it will ask you if you want the old one or the new market, answer that you want the new one !
It worked for me...
And after, don't touch anymore to market apps
Good luck
