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.

Android Market.. please help

I have my new Nook Color rooted to 3.0. I was able to use the Market perfectly fine for quite some time, downloading over a dozen apps. However, now it's giving me all sorts of problems. The last few downloads failed. If I try to redownload them, I never get a notification. It's like it forgot about me. Then it said I needed to resign into Gmail, and even with a valid password, it said it was wrong. Magically, without entering a password, it started working again. However, I still can't download everything.
I've tried to clear the cache on the Android Market app, and restart, but nothing. Now Google Talk won't authenticate. Ughh..
Please help!

Protip. Honeycomb isn't ready to be used for nook.

I know it's not fully operational, but I also know there's a way to get the Market working again. That's all I need to know.

No idea if this works, you could try downloading and installing the Cyanogenmod GApps package (can't post a link...it's easy to find on the official CM website).
Be prepared to bork your installation and have to reinstall HC completely, though. In general, you shouldn't expect much luck from a hacked SDK build that is soon to be obsolete.

Honestly, after doing some research, I think it's Google Talk. Other Android users have the same issue. If Talk won't connect (authentication failed), then Market won't work. I haven't found a solution though to the problem.. still looking.

Ok, I'm done with 3.0, this is frustrating. What's the best way to go from 3.0 to an earlier version of Android like 2.2 or 2.3?

I am running nookie froyo 0.6.8 from SD card. My Market also wasn't working and my google talk aslo failed to authenticate. I clear the cache for the market and I cleared the google services framework data and it worked again. I also found that have my install from unknown sources enable wouldn't allow my market to load at all. It gave me errors. If anybody knows how to fix that problem please help me. Good luck!

Seriously, you're my hero. It worked after I did that and rebooted!
One problem though, while it's at least trying to download and install now (and works on programs like Pandora), I can't get Angry Birds or AB Seasons to install. It always says it was unsuccessful. Any thoughts?

Then make sure you look under the all tab. The downloaded tab is the default for me.
Also I don't take credit for this fix. Somebody else posted it and I was just saying that I had the same problem and that this solution worked for me as well and I wanted to add that having Unknown sources checked cause the market to not working for me not sure if others are having that problem.

Can the system be set to download games to internal memory instead of the SD card, so that we won't have to pull the SD card out? Is that possible just wondering?

Um, how can you get away with pulling the SD card if you're running the OS off the card?

Market is broken for me...
Can anyone help me out with this Market not working?
I'm running stock NOOKcolor ROM v1.1 with AutoNooter (for root) and ADW launcher. Everything was working great for me and when I tried to install the latest Market the Market stopped working. It loads, and I accepted the terms and conditions, then it drops back to the home screen (launcher desktop). And each new time I load it, it drops back to the home screen.
I tried clearing cache, and data for the Market. I tried unchecking the USB debug, and Allow Non-Market Installs. I tried removing the microSD card. I tried reverting back to the old Market. I tried looking for the Google Services Framework, but could not find it under all apps. Nothing is working for me.
Any suggestions or tips? Anyone else having this problem?

[Q] Market insufficient space problem

Hi guys,
earlier today I updated my I9000 to XXJVR
I found the market in the rom is version 3.0.26
When I start downloading apps, market tell me there are insufficient space on my phone and download was cancelled. but my phone clearly has more than enough storage (over 1 GB for app and over 3G on SD card)
After re-installing market - no luck
After wiping download manager - no luck
After wiping cache - no luck
After wiping dalvik cache - no luck
After doing factory reset - no luck
Is there any way to fix this?
edit: Go back to 2.3.6, you can find the app in xda

That is a lingering issue some people are having with the new, improved Market.
Try going to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Market and click Uninstall Upgrade.
If you don't have that option, download an earlier version of the Market or Gapps (should be in the Apps forum or at http://goo-inside.me/gapps), uninstall the Market using TB then install the old market.apk/flash the older Gapps.

i have no same, but have other problems with Market versions above 3.0.xx. I think , it is not problem with our phone, this is one from many problems Google Android Market. I was asked Google many times for fixing different issues (buyed apk not upgradable, than free version can downloading, not compatibile with SGS, and etc problems), but still stay big problems with devices Market.

Sad
I pretty like the new market layout
seems i have to use the old market for the time being.
The oldest market coming with the rom is just 3.0.26, and that market is not helping either
Edit: Going back to market 2.3.6 solved everything, let's hope it won't update itself...

I had the same problem but only with certain apps (Pocket Legends was one). It was because I had lagfix enabled, and this meant the market would not install apps over something like 28MB. Disabling lagfix sorted it out, and the new market seems to work fine for me now. Most apps install ok, but updating the big ones means manually downloading the apk from somewhere and installing it, rather than through the market.
Not sure if it's the same problem though, as I would expect the same behaviour on the previous market also...

I had the same problem, but my market automaticly update itself to 3.1.5 ;/ , how can i freeze updating ?

Mine is 3.0.27 and gives insufficient space error while downloading moto x mayhem

If you can't revert back to v2.3.6 then try installing thru this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15992973#post15992973
After that I needed to clear data for "Download Manager" and "Market" in Settings->Applications->Manage->All.

This error is a Samsung galaxy s problem afaik, Samsung needs to fix this.

Titanium Backup can freeze the Market Updater, if I recall correctly.

My soloution was
reverting to old market with old market.apk app located on these forums
reboot
clear cache

simple...go to applications>all>market>stop>clear data....then retry to download anything

Insufficient space - Problem Solved!!
the problem arises coz of limited Cache and the new market strictly uses /cache partition which is just ~27mb.
The best solution I've found is to use a Virtual partition of larger size for that cache.. here's a link to the thread with instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188972
When i found you can actually do something like this, i fell in love with android all over again!
ps: i'd recommend the cwm flashable version on the same thread, as its more permanent unless u delete the script manually..

You can flash Semaphore kernel and enable 50 mb cache. It should help.

I'll on darky 10.2 and i had the same problem since update to the new market.
clearing caches did not help, but i uninstalled updates from manage applications it worked fine.
Thanx

"Market Fix" App fixed this problem
I had the same problem & I used Market Fix App & it worked.
After using it I have downloaded 4-5 apps of around 20MB each & no problem.

nvm I used the HD2 NAND Toolkit and fixed my issue, now I have 45mb of cache

All apps over 30mb are considered incompatible with Galaxy S

Even for apps I have purchased before (Samurai II for example)
I want to buy Sprinkle and I cannot!!

Doesn't say they're incompatible for me...

are you looking at sprinkle free? you won't even see the full version if browsing on your phone.

Both show up just fine on my phone. I even downloaded and played it. I'm running CM7 though. Could be a firmware difference.

Just checked and got the same problem with stock rom. Says that device is not compatible, any solutions except flashing cm?

Probably not, no.
Sounds like a cache size problem. I believe stock firmware only allows a ~30mb cache size for downloading apps from the market. That means, in the event that the app is too large, it simply cannot download and install the entire app. But this is only the market's download cache.
A simple solution is to install the apk file seperate from using the market app. There's also a terminal fix that creates are larger, temporary cache. I can't remember the command off the top of my head, but I'm sure a quick search will produce positive results. I'm sure a large portion of custom ROMs—especially those the farthest away from stock—have this issue rectified. If not, search for the workaroud or install the apk yourself.
Good luck!

Ok let me explain more.
I have purchased Samurai II Vengeance from the market a while back. The apk size is a little over 40mb but it is still available for purchase and I was able to download it.
With the new market, even I have purchased the app, Samurai II Vengeance is not being displayed in the market. Not even under my purchased apps.
The problem is even i can bypass the cache problem by running some script to increase my cache size, those apps are not showing up so I cannot download even I know my cache size is big enough.

Just wanted to chime in here. Using a JVT ROM with a repartitioned device that has 60MB cache - Market version is 3.3.11. Searching for "third blade" as an example, does not return the app. It's completely hidden. Using the market website, the app shows "This item is not compatible with your device."

Why not try uninstalling market updates?

it's a market problem

Gun bros is working fine here

use chainfire 3d app from the market... install nvidia and qualcomm plugins (explained in chainfires post)... and select market fix... all apps would be restored... the new market only shows power vr based apps and doesnt shw the rest... but we always ve brilliant chainfire and his apps for the rescue...

Yes, it is a cache problem, and Yes making a "virtual cache partition" does make it bigger (i now have ~52 mb cache)...BUT, the Market doesn't know that my cache is bigger now! it still shows larger apps as "incompatible"
Is there a way to bypass these market restrictions somehow?
ps: reason i'm so desperate, is "World of Goo" just landed in android market!! I can run the Demo (28mb) alright, but full version is still "incompatible" (47mb). I'm willing to pay! just give me a chance!

i have same problem too. i cant install blood and glory.
error is " errorwhile downloading "BLOOD & GLORY ". There is insufficient space on the device." but i installed BLOOD % GLORY ( NR ) version.
another error is smurf's village isnt available for your device.
my rom is cm7

I think it's cache problem alright. The easiest way, I think, is to go CM7

"Insufficient Storage Available" error message?

I have a Bionic on 4.0.4 ICS and am running CM10 (I think, I don't remember and I just got my computer back from Geek Squad and they deleted my entire 'ROOT' folder... thanks Best Buy). Anyway, I keep running into a problem when trying to download new apps from the Play Store or updating existing apps, I get a notice saying "Insufficient Storage Space) and thus cannot install the app or update. When I go look at the storage on my phone, it shows that I have 2.97GB available, so I'm failing to see where there isn't enough room to download a 21MB update. Anyone know what is going on here? I've tried wiping Cache and Dalvik and it doesn't seem to do anything for this issue, if that matters.

Also, I just ran into this right after I posted this, but I downloaded a cycling app called Strava, and it downloaded and installed successfully (even when other apps wouldn't) but when I try to launch the app, I get a notification saying, "Your device does not seem to support Google Play Services." WTF? I just downloaded this app FROM the Play Store! WTF is the story here?!
