Beyond my know how. But would it be possible and someone willing totake on the challenge to make a one touch widget that would clear the market data to get new market working again.
Just an idea.

when switching back and forth between roms or just keeping up with Cyanogen's speedy update schedule, I always have problems with the market knowing which apps I have and which I don't, so I was wondering if an app or script could just scan the apps on the device internal & apps2sd them remake the marketdb to reflect what is truly on the phone??
I may be wrong but it seems as its the marketdb that keeps this info, not the market "server" so it sounds easy, but since I couldn't code my way out of a paperbag how would I know if its easy or not...
it's no big deal but it would be nice, im sure im not the only cat who has thought of this so there must be sumthing more complex than I can understand that keeps it from happening...
just an idea,

the marketdb sucks for that kind of thing. use atrackdog. it creates its own db and updates it every time you run it to show exactly what you have on the phone and scans the market for updates on request.
Backup for root users allows you to backup and restore your market database.

That option has never worked for me...as with some of the other options in that program. The only ones that seem to work properly for me is backing up SMS and bookmarks. Sometimes backups of alarms work, sometimes not.
Can someone give a newbie android user some help on the best way to reset the phone if I suspect it got malware.
I know about lockout, knockout, Lookout, that was it, but let's just call this an intellectual exercise because it's not clear to me at the moment that's going to really find the payload if the android market has already deleted the app.
I reloaded cyanogenmod (and upgraded, so I know it worked) but oddly it didn't wipe my apps or my data, which I expected it to. So, I apparently haven't grasped that part of how it works.
So, if I do a factory wipe and reflash it and redownload my 4 whole normal safe apps. Then is it safe to restore my data (with Titanium)? Where can these payloads reside?
I solemnly swear to never ever use the app store again. For anything. I got that message loud and clear on another forum that downloading a scientific calculator was just irresponsible.

best way i could say is to superwipe and then re flash your rom
I can't download from Market. I tried to go to the web Market to download from there, and looked up Troubleshooting. It recommended signing into Talk and then trying to download. Well, I can't log into Talk. Anyone have a way I can fix this? I do have adb access. I am running Honeycomb through an sd card. Any suggestions beyond having to try the process all over again? If not, I know there are several threads on getting gmail/market/talk/maps/yahoo/etc. on the card once the OS is loaded. Which is the best one to use and follow, and what should I do once everything is on there (like what to sign on first (yahoo, or gmail, or talk, etc.)? Total newb to rooting, so I would appreciate any guidance. Getting market working is the last thing I need to get working basically. Thanks!
Force stop market and google services framework, clear caches and data for both, reboot. This worked for me.

What if you can't clear the data on Market? There's 124 kb worth of data in there, and it won't allow me to clear it. I can force stop the market and force stop/clear data on framework, but just doing those and then rebooting still won't allow me on talk or to download on market. What it did give me though was it allowed me to "see" more apps in Market that didn't show before, like Pandora. Still can't download it, but I can see it.
ok stupid question..but im thinking of buying tibu and beweather from the market.. when i purchase them..and updates continue to come out..can i update them always..or do i always to pay again when an update comes out..and if there are free updates..how does it work if i reflash a rom or something using cm7.. thanks
and while im here..one more question..im my rom experience will be complete.. lol i went to flash cm7 and when i did all the restore and stuff it should that i had 50 updates but then that went away in my market..and now my complaint is i know i have more than 100 apps and it doesnt show on my apps in my market..ive rebooted reflash all that..im using tibu 4.0.0 but when i browse for that app..it does say its installed..its just that if i got my apps some of them are not there..basically if i wanna see if theres an update i have to browse for it to see if it says update or just installed..but if recall..i think when i did an update it finally was seen in my apps in market correctly after the update..what gives please help..thanks..sorry for the two questions in one and the long ramble
I am sure you pay once and all the updates after are free. I haven't bought applications on android, but am just assuming it's like digital distribution in general.
... I can't really understand your second question/ ramble. If it's about your downloaded applications list disappearing when flashing a new rom, yeah, that happens. You could just use titanium backup to restore applications once you are done flashing the new rom. Sorry if I missed the meaning of your second question.
i have tibu pro and i get the updates on the same licence. it's one of few apps i've bought. you need to go to manage applications to the market , clear data and you will see your apps.

what you mean you get updates on the same license? i mean i get my updates like i said..but thats if i browse through the market catalog manually without going to my apps since i cant see half of my apps in my apps section..and i did do that btw..even the cache i cleared nothing..still 50 apps instead of like 104 or something.. wahhh! thats all i need is my apps showing and im all good!!! im pretty sure that if you do buy an app your good to go you can update as often it is needed for free..just need my apps to show..and i already reflashed too.. hay!
did you try to reinstall the market? after the flash... also were the apps all d/l'ed from the same market account originally? not trying to be a smartass just throwing a few more ideas out there...... back to stock???

Yeah, I think that's a common problem when restoring from TiBu...the market gets confused. Happened to me...it's an easy fix:
First, reboot the phone to make sure everything is closed. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications. Tap the All tab. Scroll down until you find Market. Tap Market to open it's application settings. Tap the "Clear Data" button. Reboot the phone. Your market should now show everything.
If you purchase an app from the market, updates are included in the original price (i.e., you won't have to pay again). Purchases are tied to your Google account, so even if you buy a new phone, when you log in with your Google ID, the apps you purchased will show up in the "My Apps" section of the Market. You'll have to reinstall them, but you won't have to pay again.
^ this.
Although you don't have to reboot first to clear market data just clearing it will do the trick.
ok so heres the story..i did what everyone ask me to do..somehow still didnt work..then i did the market doctor thats suppose to fix the market links didnt work..i uninstalled tibu..rebooted and now i shows all my apps with like half of them needing updates..i know theres some that need updates and some that dont..but i did it ne ways just to be sure..so basically i got all my apps back! yay..thanks guys..so wait one of you said that i dont have to pay again and as long as i have my google id i can still dl it even if i flash ANY rom on here..thanks again!
Paid apps are linked to the google account that purchased them.You could sign in to your account on a completely different device and download them. So yes flashing then away will not cause you to have to repurchase them.
Don't know if anyone else has this issue, but in the Android Assistant app (which I highly recommend, Quick Boost Widget = better than a task killer) in the Tools menu, the Cache Cleaner gives you the ability to wipe all cache from User apps in one click or you can individually choose which ones to clear.
Unfortunately, it has stopped working. I click Clear All and it says it's cleared all successfully, but when I refresh the screen, everything is back.
Anyone else having this issue?
Same here? I am unsure when it quit working but it has?
Let's post to the rating in Market and see what happens
