any way to update a market app not installed by market? - Droid Eris Themes and Apps

i have new apps installed not by market, is there a way to link them so i can get new updates? i downloaded gem miner dig deeper and its version is like 1.2 and newest is like 2.1 or somthing, i want to update my app. is there anyway to do that?... i cant update because that app isnt linked to the market app but it is on the market. it just doesnt show ive previously downloaded because it was installed from my computer

yea download the app threw the market and it will install on top of the other version, then you will have updates as well. unless its a paid app that you didnt pay for, then we cant help you as that would be illegal. im not saying you did, just putting it there.

I am running evil eris and installed all of my apps from an astro backup and they wouldnt automatically update for a week or so but then all of the sudden i started getting notifications saying that app updates are available and it worked. I dunno if I got lucky but I definitely installed all of my apps from a backup and not the market. Updated scannerbuddy this morning as a matter of fact.

i have a paid app from a torrent i would like to update and add to my market

which is completely illegal and could get you banned from this site for mentioning that you stole the app, or could get you in big legal trouble. might i suggest you pay the 2.99 for the app (cost of most apps) and support the dev. its really not that much considering your phone bill is over $90 each month, so i think we all are rich enough to give up $3 to devs for their hard work.

haha daddy pays

Thanks for posting this!
As I always do with big companies like this, I checked Amazon's website to see if they truly had released an app and someone wasn't just playing with us in a phishing scam. It's legit, it's real, and here's the link:
Amazon's Press Release
I'm not a huge Amazon user, but I do shop there from time to time. This is really a great way to reach customers. Kudos to Amazon!
Now if they could just make a Kindle reader for Android...

Could you (or anyone else for that matter) please post the apk file?
I've just searched for it here in the spanish android market and can't find it.
I use to buy stuff from Amazon and an app like this would be great.

It's a tool some italian guys developed before Google opened the Italian market for paid apps so they could buy in the US one.
Besides allowing that, it comes with an added benefit and it's that it allows getting any app from the US market, even if it isn't available for the UK, Spanish or any other market.
The app requires root, but that I suppose won't be a problem for any xda user. You can get it here
Amazon.com app
Just found out about this app and it sounds really interesting. Only issue is it's not available on the market in the UK (at least... I assume it isn't. I can't find it...)
Would someone be able to upload the apk? It's a free app so I'm not stealing it or anything
And I understand it probably only searches amazon.com, but I'm really not that bothered about that
There's already discussion on this. It was the third result when I searched: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544239
Duplicate thread. In future try searching before creating new thread

sprint nfl still working for anyone?

It forced me to update and now says that i have to be on sprint to use it.
obviously that makes sense but i'm just wondering if anyone who downloaded the sprint apps has them still working on t-mobile/verizon.
The Sprint NFL app is by far the best NFL app that you can get on android and i'd love to keep using it.
so anyone's nfl app still working?
Mine is not working anymore. After upgrading, I got the message "This app is for Sprint customers..." I installed the .apk from the older version and realized that it won't let you proceed without upgrading.. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted..
yeah. kinda wish they didn't fix this until after the season lol
using sportstap now. good enough but the sprintnfl app was awesome.
Guys, it's only a matter of time before someone comes up with a solution and we are able to use this again. I'm surprised it hasn't come yet.. has it?

you should stop talking unless you know what your talking about.
The sprint apps are not considered warez because warez involves something illegal.
No one is stealing the sprint apps, you don't have to pay for them on sprint. Sprint was dumb enough to let people extract the APKs except now they made it so the NFL app dosn't work. (to my understanding the rest still do, and i can confirm navigation still does last i checked)
These apps were available for download from this very forum for a few months and probably still are.

[Q] ROM Manager premium problem-how do i contact app dev?

I bought ROM manager premium through the paypal link in the app. Now that i've moved back to the N1 from the NS (i bought it when i was on the NS), i don't see any way to activate premium features without paying again. am i missing something?

I'm not a Twitter pro or anything... but I think as long as you preface your tweet by @koush, he'll see your message and will probably respond. He's a good guy and won't screw you over...so just get in touch with him.
ok thanks guys just did it. hope it works.
Does the rom transfer between phones? Just asking--
Can you copy your TB backup or whole sd card from the s to n sd card so the n sees those apps and knows you have rom mgr

You can probably also get his email by clicking on 'Send email to the developer'.
Actually, just checked, you don't even have to click on it. His email is right there on the page.
You know every app on the Market has the developer's email, right?

thanks!
yeah i knew about that, but i'm still getting used to the new market layout (that, and a brain fart). I tried the website but it looks like it's no longer up. thanks again everyone!
Now i feel really dumb, esp. since i've gotten help from other app devs the same way in the past.
Sorry, I just re-read my message and it sounds kind of snarky. Don't feel bad for forgetting about that, everyone has brain farts.

thanks for the apology, but i didn't take it that way.
Honestly, after seeing your response the first time, I just felt so dumb. I didn't get the app from the market, but I should've known to check there anyway.
dude doesn't respond to tweets or emails. Starting to piss me off.
if i would have known trying to save 1 dollar was gonna cause me this much headache.....
join the crowd
never got a response
now use amon_ra
I have the exact same problem. I tried to contact him by email but he does not reply. Will try to contact him via Twitter.
It really pisses me off.
Just wanted to see if this got rectified? I recently did the reverse of the OP. Switched from the Nexus One up to the Nexus S. Premium isn't showing up on the NS.
nope. I just won't support the dev anymore. if one really wants to pay for this app, go thru the market. the dollar isn't worth the headache.
also waiting for response
i also buyed via Paypal cause i dont have a credit card (Market only accept Credit-card)
i changed rom and cannot activat premium features
will try to get money back from paypal (45days!)
hope he will response in next few days
greetings
If it were me, I would find alternative means of getting the software. You already paid for the license. If the dev don't wanna support his own product, either don't use it, or find another place to download it. There are many places to obtain android apps.
I don't like spreading this because I support the developers and truly appreciate the work they do. But I also don't like to see ppl cheated out of their money whether it was intentional or not. I'll tell you how to get that app from the market without paying. Just shoot me a pm.
Sent from my Motorola Olympus
I am another person who bought via PayPal, thinking it would save me $1 and put more $ in the developers pocket rather than the Android market taking it. I originally purchased it back in January 2011 and now cannot get my new device to show that it is the premium version without purchasing on the Android Market... Did anyone find a solution to this or get a reply from Koush?

Me and this Android online market (https://market.android.com/) website don't like each other...
There is a problem with this website's security certificate.
The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address.
Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.

Now call me a tight arse security freak but seems to me that a company the size of google could sign their certificates correctly.
Guess me and this online market will never be doing business.

Paid App Missing from Market

I had paid for a digital/analog clock (called RealDark or something like that) a month or two ago, but it has disappeared.
It's no longer listed in my paid apps and no combination of search terms can locate it. I googled the app name and found that it was pulled from an alternative android market as well.
Anyone know why an app that you've paid for can simply be made unavailable to a customer?!

Apps unpublished by a developer remain on the Market servers for users who have already paid to download as well as licensing.
However, if the app was legitimately pulled (not unpublished) for a violation of TOS or DMCA style take down request it would not be available.
It was just a clock, from a prolific, highly-rated developer. What gives?

contact the developer.
Couldn't find the developer either - his name was Eodyumbel or something like that. He created a lot of Go Launcher themes, add-ons, etc.

Search your gmail for the confirmation email you received when you bought the app originally. The developers info and email address should be there.

Good thinking. Hopefully it's not one of the very few emails that I've deleted. I typically board emails, so I should have it.
Found my receipt, emailed the developer. All of his apps are gone from the market.

Out of curiosity, what was the app and who was the developer?
It was called something like RealDark digital analog clock. The dev went by Eodyumbel, or something similar.
It's just a clock, but it pisses me off because I paid real money for it ($1 or $2). What if it'd been SPB Shell or something pricey??

I probably do have a backup on the pc. This is a newer phone and I don't like restoring apps from Ti backups - I'll do it in a pinch, but I prefer to install fresh from the market since I switch roms so often.
If it wasnt removed by the dev, i advise using "market-enabler" from the market, to fake anouther country/provider and then find your app. I had the same problem with a railway-app.
