Hello all, i just bought an android G1 from a friend, when it came it was already installed cyanogen mod, then i thought it should of rooted, (by the way i dont know how to root or how to check if its rooted) i am very new on this platform so i have many problems and questions but for now , i tried to change google account which was my frends account to use g1 with all 100 percenti but i couldnt find any proper way to switch my google account, then i finally found hard reset thing and did it, after all i could log on my google on my g1 and i felt a bit shocked with all those missing parts on the android platform as a winmo user before, even my HTC artemis had better skills on internet browsing such flash support over skyfire and easy wifi DNS change and have free web browsing without banned pages.. anyways i was trying to install some games and apps from the market till i got the notification of low memorry ohhh ****, its a nightmare to have hundreds of apps but no place to install, how stupid but then i found a solution on the net to help installin apps directly to your sd card, while i was following this steps on the xda forum pages, i restarted my fone again after having the img file launched with 1.4 version, then i realized all my installed apps icons were lost, then i saw they were gone from my g1 but when i go to app store, they are still on my downloaded programms list, but they are not in storage, thats becase now i cant install them again because they are seen already installed, how can i fix this problem guys , and thanks for the help already.!!!!!!1
Hey, thanks for steppin' up! No matter how snarky I get, or how nice I am, some people just don't get it. It's always great when someone does get it.
If you have a cyanogenmod, then you have root.
How can i get my apps back from the market when they show apps are already installed?
I guess I'd uninstall and reinstall from within the Market App. Open "Market," click on a listing of an app that says it's installed but you can't see in your app drawer (the program for the Home screen and app drawer is call Launcher.apk... apk is the equivalent of exe, more or less). on the bottom of the screen there should be two buttons, Open and Unistall. I'd uninstall and reinstall the ones you want that way.
Yeah, I miss WinMo, too. I still use PhatPad in my old phone and PC. But the capacitive screen really is nicer for fingers, and I'm more addicted to XDA and hacking phones than I am to having a hard-core useful phone (although the native ouTube App beats any I've found for WinMo, and I actually use the native contacts app). I got tired of the bugs, too, since they'd hose the whole OS and force you to decide to reboot. Android just blows past an error and lets it not work, but keeps the OS up. When I'd run out of memory or something in WinMo on an incoming call, the phone would freeze, and then there's a 3 minute reboot. In Android, it just slows down so I get less ring time to answer, but I can call back right away, and it boots in two minutes.
Java makes really nice interfaces and games, too.
I think it'll be about a year or so and Android will be running on par with WinMo (WinPh?) with Flash and alternative browsers apps, and has a few more things to offer that other smartphone OS's can't. It's fun finding them. It's been really exciting watching the progress, and how hard people work for little or no money, just because it's open source.
Oh, and PhatPad was $44. My current Note app, NoteEverything was $2. I miss the stylus and making animations, but that's it. I certainly don't miss Activesync.
yes you are right, but the buttons in the market of that application, are both missing, inactive, you cannot click both of them, thats why i cant uninstall or install or open the app.. i still wonder how to clear the app store cache without factory reset or hard reset which is a really long way to follow.
Ok, I understand that we should have backups with clockworkmod and/or titanium to avoid these issues.
However, what happens if I don't have a backup of an app that I've paid for and somehow lose it?
Does the market recognize that I purchased the app before and let me re-download? Do I have to re-purchase the app?
With itunes for example, if you don't have a backup of purchased music you have to jump through flaming hoops to get it back and you're still not guaranteed they will work with you.
How do this work for us?
Thanks,

Short answer is yes if you downloaded from the Market and it's tied to your gmail account it will let you re-download it provided that it shows up in your Market at the time you want to download it.
That's the way it worked for me. When I flashed Vegan and did the market fix every app I had paid for in the past (even on my old phones) synced and downloaded. Even setcpu which wasn't even functional till this week.
FWIW I use the USB hookup to back up apk files to a computer, an external fixed disk or ZIP disks (a good use for all the old but functioning Iomega stuff around here). I do this even before installing a new app, just in case. If I have a need to do so, I just drag the folder contents back to the tablet. And with files on the computer, Carbonite also backs up the files which enables retrieval from any computer I may use when traveling. I put all bookmarks onto the Web space included with the ISP account. It makes a complete recovery or transfer to a new tablet just about as quick and easy as anything I could think of.
I use Titanium... Any app I d-load from the market or elsewhere I back up.
Even if I do not intend to use it in the future... Who knows, when time comes I might need it.
Do not rely on the publisher to keep the app on the Market. I have purchased a couple of apps that are no longer available to download on the market that aren't available anymore, Transformers G1 comes to mind. Best bet is to buy Titanium Backup and set it up for Dropbox syncing.
Thanks for the help
Thank you for the replies.
I've only purchased one app (dungeon defenders), all the others have been free and most have been downloaded for side-loading anyway.
After I got the system rebuilt I logged onto google and dungeon defenders showed up as purchased in the market.
I'll try to keep titanium up to date but still glad to know they honor the original purchase.
Thanks again,
Neudle
If this has been addressed before, I apologize in advance - I tried searching but didn't really come up with anything.
Basically while using CM7 on my NC, registering the device using my primary Google account that is linked to my phone (Supersonic/Evo), the market decides it needs to sync all my apps that are on my Evo to my NC. I'd like to get everything else synced to my NC, (contacts, mail, reader, etc) but not the apps. Is there a way to separate these devices in the eyes of Google Market and keep app syncing separate between the two devices, or at the very least, turn off app syncing on my NC?
I'm confused, you make it sound like you have to register your google account every time you boot or load up CM7. I know it does it on the initial setup, but past that you shouldn't have to. Unless you are wiping everything, every time you update CM7.
That being said, you can uninstall, but it won't download an application just because you purchase it on your phone. Other than that, I don't believe there is a way to block the application downloads to the nook upon registering.

Sorry, I meant I was dual booting between CM7 and stock NC. I'm about to wipe and go full CM7 and was trying to figure out if I could do what I asked in the OP. I'll have to test it, but I would assume if I deleted the app via settings instead of with Ti Backup or something that it would end up not syncing on my phone because the Market would "see" that I deleted it and assume I didn't want the app anymore. These are mostly free apps, btw, I don't buy too many. However, I was considering buying SwiftKey X for tablets and I don't want that showing up on my Evo, either.
The market is getting smarter, but isn't that smart yet.
When loading CM7 to the emmc I would just sync the account, lets the apps download, then uninstall the ones you don't want. Its likely you will only do this a handful of times. If you purchase apps for the nook, they don't automatically download to your other devices, you have to go to the market and select it for download (it does see that you purchased it though).
Google does sync apps too? For real?
I never know that, at least on my NC, I've only seen syncing calendars, books, mails, and contacts, never seen "sync apps"
I seem to recall one of the questions it asks you on the initial setup when you start CM7 for the first time you can just choose not to sync apps. Its been a while though.

Hurrrrr, you're right. I redid setup and unticked the box. Fixed it. I'm so used to GApps setup and leaving those checked on my phone that I didn't even read the text.
The question now is, though, theoretically if I wanted to change it, where in the settings is it? I swear I looked through the entire settings catalog and didn't see the option

Next time I'm going to pay more attention when I run through setup.

You can't, its a one time thing that syncs up what you had at the time. At least as far as I know....
Okay, I am a complete noob, as my problem will prove, so I apologize for surely misusing standard terms. Here we go...
I have a Google Music account on my cm7 nook and need a way to run their Music Manager. I don't own ANY type of other hardware (PC, Mac, nothing) but have several sd cards worth of music I want to upload to the cloud locker.
I have downloaded the app in several formats (.exe, .rpm, .deb) and failed to install before realizing the inherent infeasability of running a .exe on an android device.
The only possible way I think I may have found is to install ubuntu on the device (through adb?) and installing the debian package of the Manager. From what I saw on the ubuntu thread I think I may need a PC to burn the ubuntu image.
My question is can anyone tell me how to run the Music Manager on my nook? The easier the better, but I am willing to learn...
Thanks!
Running a rooted nook color, cm7.1.
I would check out the nookbuntu thread on how to put it on your nook. I suppose you will be able to put music manager on there by getting the .deb However i havent had much luck in the past getting ubuntu on the nook working, and im not sure if you have access to your SD card from the Ubuntu environment.
If you don't have a computer, where is all your music stored?
This looks like its going to be a lot of hassle every step of the way and might not work, honestly if i were you I'd find a friend you can put music manager on their computer, Put all your music on an external HDD or something, and see if they will patiently let it upload.
All of the music is stored on micro sds. I have tried to accomplish the tracks in a variety including dropbox w/dropsync among others but while I have succeeded in getting the tracks on the cloud, I can't get it onto google's specific locker, which is, of course the whole point.
The Music Manager, in and of itself, isn't the objective. Any method of getting the tracks uploaded would suffice.
I may indeed have to through myself upon the kindness of strangers and try to use someone else's PC. I haven't had a computer since the Love Bug. Yeah, seriously.
I am not sure if these are at a premium anymore, but anyone who can help me accomplish this, or even makes a good faith effort is welcome to an invite to Google Music. I have a couple extra.
Hopefully that doesn't break any forum rules. If so, apologies.
Hey, good news everybody.
I talked with Google, and thanks to my powerful connections, you are ALL now invited to Google Music! Keep it quiet, and don't trip over each other trying to thank me all at once!
It sure makes me feel slightly less special for them to launch publically two days after I got my invite.
Help with the upload still being looked for, even if Google gave away my only incentive...
Public library?

Well, I doubt that would work since I understand there upload process pretty much takes days. it looks like I will just have to find av friendly PC owner and do this the old fashion way.
I just was refusing to believe that this fabulous machine, that has pretty much done everything I have asked of it, cannot accomplish a simple thing like run a program written by the same company as its OS.
I have seen solutions to some pretty far out problems on these forums, and I was taking the chance that someone would know a method.
I may be one of the only rooters without some sort of desktop computer, but I just doubt I am the only person who would verymuch like to upload straight from my tablet. it seemed worth a shot.
I just got my HTC One today, transferring from the Evo 3D. I've only played with this app briefly before, but finally putting it through it's paces right now and it's working perfectly!

This isn't exactly new and I'm sure many of you have already used this, but this post is for those who don't know.
Under the Restore and Sync settings, it saw all of my devices with the app installed, I choose one, select the apps to transfer to my other device, and sit back. I have to confirm it brings the app data with, but it does allow for app data to be backed up so I would assume it does.
This app does not require root, lets you backup your device for free to internal storage, dropbox, box, or google drive. The paid version lets you sync across devices. That is worth every penny.
And please don't turn this into a "____ is better" thread. I'm sure there are plenty of options available, this one worked for me and might for others.
Edit: yup, syncing apps between devices included app data and no root necessary.
