I have the Google IO Galaxy Tab. I've downloaded a number of apps from the Android Market that are not showing up in the Android Market place. I can see the apps when I click on the Apps button in the upper right part of the home screen and they all run just fine, but they don't show up as downloaded apps in Market. The apps also show up on market.android.com as well.
I was hoping that the Honeycomb update would fix the problem, but it did not. I've also tried clearing the cache and data from the Market app, but it did not fix the problem either. Anyone else experience this problem?
Saw this response in the support section of market.android.com listed under Known Issues:
Applications missing from "My Apps"
We're aware of reports from some users that several applications are missing under "My Apps" on their devices, and we're currently looking into the issue.
Some apps i have on my phone i haven't got via the Android Market, lots ive got have been apk's ive got on XDA,etc,etc, what im wondering is, seen as i didn't get these apps from the market if i linked the selected apps to the market through the market doctor what is that supposed to do?
I have the Paddy Power app and Betfair app which were were initially on the Android market but for some bizzare reason Android market decided no betting apps were to be allowed to took them off the market so i went elsewhere and downloaded them and installed via root explorer, there are a couple of paid apps i also downloaded for free not something i usually do but whoever created these apps was taking the p*ss with the price they were charging so i refuse to pay over the odds for an app, taking all this into consideration what (if any) advantage would i have by linking these to the market and more's to the point considering i didn't get any of these particular apps from the market would the apps in question still link to the market?
anyone any ideas?
I would like to know how this goes too since I use SlideME Marketplace for some of my apps, it would be handy if it could all go under the Android marketplace for updating.
Isn't there anyone else with apps on their GS2 that they didn't get from the Android market that they might want to link to the market but are wondering the same?
Does anyone know how can I uninstall the default applications like browser,video player,photo viewer..etc on a Archos 70 Internet Tablet?Has already someone tried this before?
You cannot remove them because they are baked into the read only system image.
a) you can hide them, with the +rw rooting package: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=930197 but it doesn't give you more disk space
b) you can use custom roms like urukdroid
It's your choice.
there is no software which can disassemble the rom from archos to get those out of there?is there a kitchen for archos's rom's?
Nobody has ever written that kitchen software. But this is what Urukdroid was made for
If you are rooted, titanium backup could do the job

On a related note: I have several apps installed for experimental purposes. I do not want these apps to be started (= become active) automatically.
The same goes for several standard apps. E.g., I often see tasks running for Gallery, Google services, Archos Firmware Update (pointless since I'm running UrukDroid).
Is there a way to prevent this?

Titanium Backup Pro.
Thanks for the suggestion.
As I understand it I can use this to freeze apps (make them temporarily unavailable). What I want is to just prevent automatically starting of an app, while the app is still available in the full app overview and can be started manually. Can this be done as well?

Sorry, I misunderstood what you wanted to do and I don't know of anything that will do what you want.
Don.
@sciurius:
Android was designed as an OS for mobilephones and they had slow external memory when this started.
So one of the esignes of android is that every sw dev can decide how much of the software should be in memory as long as possible by implementing parts as a so called service.
These get started everytime the device is run.
Other programs get started because they where started by you often, or because they answer to some systemmessages
First get some infos about "Autostart Manager" Apps, some work without root.
Might be interesting to get some infos and you might be able to even write somekind of artikel.
This one is in german, but you just use google translate.
Hi
I use android assistant (available on the market) with an option which may prevent some apps to start
Hi there,
I tried to find the answer to this however my searches left me still unsure. Can this device run regular smartphone apps or is it another operating system entirely? If so can they be loaded from both Google Play and sideloaded?
Thanks!
They can be sideloaded in a variety of different methods, and then kept up to date with the built in play store. Rooting is highly suggested for many things though.
Is there a good app to get a quick overview of all installed apps, their targeted SDK and if they use the new 6.x backup feature?
The app should at least be able to show a list of all installed apps and sort them by "Target SDK". It would be even better, if it could check, if the developer opted out from the new backup feature of Android 6.x.
I did a search on the GooglePlay and found App Detective. It allows to sort apps by "Target SDK", but it hasn't been updates for two years, so it mixes SDK versions and Android version names and there is no feature to check for the new backup feature.
Do you know other apps, that are better and/or still in active development?
