is there a way to update applications installed via the market place ?
I have a couple of apps that i installed manualy ( outside of the market ) but they dont show up in the market so i was just wondering if there was a way that the market can see those apps and update them with new updates....
If you get the donate version of Titanium Backup then maybe the Market Doctor feature would work.
Otherwise go into Settings->Manage Apps and un-install the app then go into market and install it from there.

Hey is there any way for an app i installed through adb to show up in my downloads for market so that when an update is available i can do it.
*Plz dont post that why am i not just downloading from market....i made a script so its fast for me to install all my fav apps after a wipe which would be no where as close as finding each app in the market.
Just use atrackdog...
Well but that only tells me the latest version....how would i go about getting it ?
long press on it and select install from market. if its a paid app, you have to install it from market to get the updates.or warez it, but thats a no no
lol no its all free apps...its just i prefer adb cuz its faster...but then the apps dont update themselves..so i was wondering if there was a script or smething for adding apps to the market's my downloads...
another vote for atrackdog. get it, use it.
Is this possible?
To get the market so see apps that were installed using adb install. so that the market will see and update the apps when needed?
Nope. If you want to get updates for your apps that weren't installed via the market, you can download 'aTrackDog' (free from the market) and open it to check if your apps have updates available.
you rock thanks man ATrackDog is what i was looking for.
I'm on the stock N1 and want to unlock the bootloader, which will force a wipe.
Whilst I can backup the installed apps to .apks on the sdcard with several apps as far as I know when they are restored they will not be 'linked' to the market, so I won't get update notifications for them.
'backup for root users' and 'titanium backup' can back up the market db, but you need to be root in the first place, which N1 users cannot be.
Is there a way to backup the market db without root?
Or maybe 'fix' the market data during/after the reinstall of the .apks?
Back them up to the sd. When you root reinstall and use atrackdog to check for any updates. If you do update the app in the market then it will show from that point on through the markets update notification.
Or... You can download Titanium Backup from market
EDIT... Sorry, it says you need root for it... I coulda sworn it didnt say that before...
both mybackup pro and app manager can backup aps to sd card without root.. then you can use thm to restore after rooting.

He is 100% correct about this but if you look for app manager it is now call app monster. The pro or free versions will work.

Thanks guys, but I'm sure I used MyBackup to do this ages ago with my G1. It restored the apps OK but they didn't show up as 'installed' in the Market so Market doesn't give you updates.
I notice MyBackup now has a 'root' section in the preferences which includes a 'Market db' option. The only other apps I've seen that can do it require root so it looks like maybe it can't be done :-/
Failing that I'm now looking for the restore solution with the least clicks, then jerrycycle's idea of ATrackDog (thanks!). AppMonster doesn't have a batch install, App Manager (by Amazing Droid) does and pops up the usual install dialog so thats 2 clicks per app.
AppBrain looks cool, you can make a backup list of your apps on the web, then resync after wipe, but it does a market search for each one which is quite a lot of clicks It does note protected apps though, which the others can't dump so I'd loose track of them.
hmmm not going well. Market shows all apps I had installed but as 'free', it thinks they're available to install. If I install the app from SD - I've tried MyBackup, Astro and AppManager - it is available in the launcher but still listed as 'free' in the market.
Looks like only way to do it is to go down the list in Market and manually install each from there.
Hello ... I have a milestone and keep trying new roms frequently.... but the apps that i download from market are not synced automatically and i need to download them one by one all over again.... when i check my market account on pc , the list of installed apps is not the same as that on my phone ..... is there any ways get the market apps synced completely......
I've had the same issue but weirdly Froyo-based roms did not have the problem. Only the GB roms had the issue.
I'm not sure but it could dependent on how GB roms communicate with the market account.
resync apps to market

The phone forgets which apps you have downloaded from the market and doesn't update them anymore.
The best fix is to install/update the app from the market again (one by one!).
Some apps can help you: atrackdog (finds what has to be updated), titanium backup (has a market fix function, not available in the free version).
as the title says,
my problem is that the latest version of market prevents me from using market unlock so many apps can not be installed from my country .. but with uninstalling the market update and running it everything works fine, now the problem is that the market keeps updating itself to the latest version, is there any way to prevent this ?
i found some posts saying that typing "pm disable com.android.vending.updater" in a terminal emulator would prevent it does this work for the new google play as well ? and how to do it on the note ?
Maybe you can try freezing Market Updater app using some free app manager like AntTek App Manager from the market. Or if you have Titanium Backup Pro even better. Hope this helps.
will try this method
i have titanium backup, what should i do?

You can freeze apps using titanium only if u have bought the pro version.. if u did then go to batch and select freeze apps option and freeze market updater..
