I have been lurking through these forums (and others) for a bit and I have noticed talk of copyrighted apps disappearing from the marketplace or those with root that have put their apps onto their SD card.
The new MyBackUp Pro App gives you the option to backup all of your apps to your SD card. Has anyone had any issues with certain apps disappearing from the market after utilizing this feature? Thanks in advance.
well, my backup has been around for a while, ive been using it for months, however they added a few features with pro, but mosty its a donation. anyways ive never had a problem with any program as result to mybackup, and definatly one of my favortie/must have apps.
Cant find mybackup in market?
I upgraded my old fully working version of mybackup to the new piece of **** scam one that crippled the restore feature and now its forcing me to upgrade to the pro version.
1st of all how os it an "upgrade" when u cripple an app and then force u to upgrade to a paid version to get it to work again???? Wtf??
And 2nd, has mybackup disappeared from the market for anyone? I've tried typing all sorts of jeywords in for it and it won't pop up? Even the notification that mybackup provides with a shortcut doesn't work? It says sorry this app could not be found? Please check spelling? W
Wtf happenes to this once excellent app? How did it go to such useless ****?
Can anyone help me find it again???
Thanks

The application made it clear that feature from the free version would expire. Also, there was no upgrade to expire the features, it was build into the application when it was released.

do you work for free???
if you can't afford $0.99
then you can't afford a G1

Paid apps are not accessible to all of us, and this move on their part puts a lot of people in limbo. I can't use the old, free, version anymore and I can't buy the Pro version. Caught between a rock and a hard place, and I'm not enjoying it.

MyBackup Pro
If you are still on the free one and find that you cant backup or restore. This is not true, you are only allowed 2 Backup sets, so if you have more, deleting them (or moving them to another machine) and freeing up the backup sets will allow you to create another backup, just not one of Applications. Also, you are able to restore any of your old Data backup sets, again just not applications...
If you need support questions answered you can email [email protected]

From what I've heard yes as well as non us users. I use rc33 and have never had a problem finding any app.

its the same for me... kinda sucks, id go rc33 but done really want all those tmobranded stuff (since im not in the usa) i guess i can always delete them like i do with the amazon mp3 thing
on the other hand, for some reason my main gmail act is unable to be registered for google checkout and the only and last reply the "google checkout team" sent was "i am unable to use checkout on that acocunt" ive sent them 3 emails after that with no reply whatsoever, and i dont find an 800 number for them =(
I'm in Norway, and thus have no access to paid apps.
I noticed also that MyBackup Lite is no longer available.
I would gladly pay for MyBackup Pro if it was possible, but as I don't have the necessary access to the "paid apps market", and since rerware have no "buy directly from us" option on their webpage, I'm out of luck having MyBackup work the correct way.
So here were my steps to still be able to perform a backup using MyBackup lite, before I'm about to upgrade to 1.5:
1) search google for "mybackup apk" and download the apk
2) use appinstaller to install
So far so good.
4) launch MyBackup - receive the "there's a new version, please upgrade" message
5) answer "no", try different things but still receive the same message. There's no way I can perform a backup to SD
6) Think about it: how is the application able to know there's a new version available? It must poll some servers somewhere
7) enter airplane mode, effectively bring the phone completely offline
8) start mybackup again, perform backup to SD card

maybe i can shed some light on this, as i have had the same problem for a while now. the problem is that if you have any G1 with the ADP firmware on it, NO paid apps will show up in your market. this is done on purpose by Google. Google even has it included in the agreement for any ADP phone... The reason is that the copyright protection does not work on the ADP firmware and all paid apps that are bought on the ADP phone, can be ripped from it and then spread around the internet. I started with the Tmobile g1, and then went to he ADP 1.1 firmware, and i could no longer access any of my paid apps i bought while i had the original firmware on it. Now i have the ADP 1.5 from JF, and still same problem. The only difference i noticed with ADP 1.5, is that the apps do show up in "my downloads" and they will actually install. on my phone specifically though it would only do it over ATT, but not over Wifi... which was strange, but i havent gotten to the bottom of it yet. The apps that are supposedly missing are all there. they are just not viewable in the market with any phone that has the ADP firmware on it.
Thanks,

Hey guys, I've read intermittent pieces of advice so far, but I know I can't be the only person dealing with the fact that none of my paid apps are in the market. Is this dependent on the developer or is there something I need to do?

What does this mean?
Google have released an update before adding it's signature to the market?
Seems like an odd way to go about doing stuff to me.
Quite a few apps seem to be missing (drocap, Tower Raiders Gold)
SC
Plenty of paid apps on mine. Did you wipe before installing?
Lots of apps are marked 2.1 only by the devs.. until they get updates they won't show.
Are the apps that you specifically paid for showing up, or just apps that you have to pay for overall?
Both.. I have a long list of old apps that I bought ages ago and don't use any more, plus the usual collection of 'highlighted' new paid apps on the main screen.

As far as I know Google didn't release the update. It was pushed to members of the press and employees at Google. I've yet to see any evidence that it was pushed to a significant portion of the customerbase.
hmmm...I am pretty sure I wiped the data/cache/dalvik cache before I installed but I can try again.

Do you have a "Top Paid" tab in the market? Mine doesn't (see attached pic)
SC
Yes. Same as 2.1, basically..
Yeah I have the Top Paid category. But what's interesting is that when I wipe the device and reboot it, during the initial setup it restores all of the applications that I didn't pay for automatically. I have a feeling that maybe this is the issue, but I'm not sure how to turn that off.
It's supposed to do that for all apps, but it's never worked for me.. I always have to pull them back with Titanium Backup.
lol, thats interesting because it never did that for me before I updated to Froyo.

That's one feature that's always worked really well for me.

i see my paid apps but they are an older version. for example MetaMorph only shows as version 1.9 when the current is 1.9.8.5
Most of my paid apps are there, but I am missing a few key ones. Docs to Go Key is a main one that I need.

Same here. With all the ROMs (Stock or otherwise) that I've used I've always had to restore the apps using another program.
all the protected apps are gone..titanium backup is your friend
thats the wierd thing tho. When I tried to use titanium backup to restore my apps it said that it doesn't have root access. Did you have this problem on froyo?
I ran the super rooter extreme and it removed all the bloatware. Only problem is I actually liked the memo app. I've searched around but can't seem to find it... Does anyone know where I can download it?

Most likely referring to 3banana Notes: http://www.androidcentral.com/android-quick-app-3-banana-notes (App review and Market QR code at the bottom) or from AppBrain http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.threebanana.notes
Odin
That's what I did. I also liked the memo app, and after my experience with the all-in-one updater I got constant force closes. So I reflashed back to stock, and used Titanium back up (after rooted) to remove the bloatware I did not want.
yeah. Some of the ROMs and stuff they are coming up wiht look pretty good, except they are all removing all 'bloatware'. There are a couple of the apps I want to keep: Allshare (would actually like something better, but not finding an alternative); and the AT&T Hotspots app (Maybe there is a replacement?).
I put up all the stock captivate packages HERE.
The whole rar is HERE.
I've been reading back and forth all day trying to figure this out.
I'm on DOJC. I don't really want to root, from what I can tell I lose fingerprint. I don't care about Samsung Pay and I don't care about knox really.
Anyways, I backed up my HOSTS file from my last phone and it worked well. (Note 4 on KK)
Is there a way to transfer that to this phone?
You don't lose fingerprint support from rooting. You trip Knox. To edit your host file you need root access

You won't lose the Finger Print sensor if you root..
If you want a premodified Host File.. try this

Everything I've read to date said you lose fingerprint with root. I'll keep reading. I don't know how people can stand to not have ad blockers. I forgot how much b.s. was out there!
Thanks for the MoaAB, that looks awesome. I have a hosts file that worked great(in other phones) already but that looks to take it up a notch or two!

I'm rooted, have been since the day I got my GS6 and my Finger Print Reader works fine..
Knox is completely removed and other than Samsung pay, everything else works fine..
either root and stay unrooted.. I don't care, but you WILL NOT lose your fingerprint reader..
It's not a samsung thing, Nexus devices have a finger print scanner and they do not have Knox..
It's an Android thing..

So I flashed Unikernel via Odin and it worked great for a few. Reboot the phone to get rid of some deleted programs (com.tmobile whatever that was), nothing fancy just the tmobile junk I couldn't get rid of before. On reboot it got stuck on the white tmobile screen. I had to Odin back to stock DOJC to get it to boot again.
I did NOT flash TWRP after the kernel, I assumed it was optional? I'll have some more time to mess with it tomorrow. Knox is tripped either way, may as well play with it now, right? lol..
Is the ROM Deodexed? if not removing system files will cause a bootloop..

Stock ROM so I assume not Deodexed.
Thanks, have been playing with phones for years and still learning newb stuff. Geez.
edit: is this why everyone uses TiB and freezes instead of just deleting? Normally I'm on a custom ROM by now and I've never had issues with any of this, but I'm getting sick of constant tinkering and was trying to take it easy this time around.

That has always been a good rule of thumb... It's better be safe and Freeze and app, rather than delete..
Especially if its a system file.. but if you can notice, system files are colored red in Titanium Backup..
Do not remove those, but freezing works.. The non red apps can be safely uninstalled or deleted..

I re-rooted via Unikernel and bought TiB so I can freeze things instead of delete. Everything it working out this time around.
Took a while to find a decent root explorer that worked properly, I used to use ES File Explorer until it turned to absolute garbage.
Anyways, thanks for the help! It's much appreciated.
So a month ago I had downloaded 3 pdf files from my Android Gmail and saved it in sd card. But a while ago I found that they no longer exist anywhere on my phone wtf. How did it get deleted? I didn't remove sd card directly and I've rebooted my phone twice in hope that those files would appear back but they didn't.
Is my phone compromised or what? How to know that

This is why I make it a habit of not using stock cleaning applications baked into the operating system by any given OEM installing Android to Carrier specifications.
It's merely experience learned over time mayhap.

Well guys. I have Redmi 4 (not note) Marshmallow. Few weeks ago it was auto rebooted and there was no phone update going on. That made me paranoid lol. I'd been opening these deleted pdfs files every now and then , so how could the stock cleaner delete them? My phone runs fast. No suspicious battery drainage, no odd photographs in my gallery. So my phone isn't compromised I guess.

That could *potentially* have been caused by the scheduled cleaning setting of the application in question.
