Where are my apps - Hero, G2 Touch General

I been playing around with different custom roms then finally came back to my preferred custom rom (from nandroid backup) and notice all my apps is gone from the market....but all my apps is working.
my problem is when i go to the android market the installed apps aren't under the "downloads"....when i search for my apps, its says its installed already
what can i do to make my apps appear on "download" section again
Any idea

a nandroid backup can only backup the apps, not the market links. install an app called Titanium backup and the choose restore market links from one of the options inside it (you may have to backup your apps inside it first.)
This will fix your problem

Backingup and migrating from villian 3.4 to 4.0

Ive been using villian 3.4 for a while now and have gotten it just the way i like it, i really want to move to 4.0 but i just find it so time consuming to install all the apps and change all the settings and add accounts etc, is there a backup program that will basically transfer everything over ?
Try Titanium Backup, donate version.
Install it from the market and make a batch backup of all user apps + system data.
Then reboot into recovery and make sure you don't forget to perform a nandroid backup (to be able to revert in case something goes wrong).
Now you can install the new ROM and then use Titanium Backup again, this time to restore apps, settings, market entries, the works...
Good luck!

Titanium Backup Won't restore Market apps?

Hey I know this was probably posted before but I searched everywhere and I couldn't find info about this. I had some corrupted files and had to reinstall android ( here is the original post with the problem, it was solved http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782615). I used Titanium backup to batch backup all my apps, It did. I reinstalled android, and went on the make a restore from my backup in Titanium. It did restore all the apps that came with froyostone and all the previous settings and things like the theme... but it did not install my market downloaded apps. In the program itself, it shows that there is a backup, but the apps are in grey and they say [not installed] before them (For example [not installed] amazon). It doesn't let me restore the app it only allows me to delete it. What do I do? can't find anything please help me guys!
Appreciate all the help,

Backing up Cyanogenmod, apps, adw shortcuts etc full process

This may have been asked before in stages but a thread stating the full process would be nice.
I am using Cyanogenmod 6.1 (nightly) on my wildfire. It works nice apart from the video recorder and the wifi which has an issue of freezing streaming of video after 5 minutes.
Before putting on Cyanogen I backed up my original ROM to nandroid and also a copy of my sd card to pc. Since then I've got my phone setup nicely with a lot of apps free and paid and ADW launcher customised.
The thing is I'd like to try one of the other custom roms and would like to do a full backup of everything. I'm a little unsure of the apps required and whether a restore will get my phone back to the exact state it is now with full customisation of ADW and all my shortcuts on seperate screens etc including some custom icons using pictures on sd card.
Download Titanium Backup from the Marketplace.
When you start it up, hit Menu and then Batch. Scroll down to Backup all system and app data, or something along those lines.
Once you reflash, download Titanium Backup again and hit Menu, Batch, Restore all apps and data.
If you just want to try out other rom, then a nandroid backup is for you. Think of it like a image capturing all your settings,apps and rom.
As for transfering apps, then you will need Titanium Backup.
So will the nandroid backup just backup my cyanogenmod rom with its pre-installed apps or does this include google apps as this was a seperate flash? The Titanium Backup of apps sounds good but what about my shortcuts and layouts of widgets/apps and settings using ADW launcher?
Nandroid backs up the whole thing in case you fudge up a new install. Titanium backs up your apps, data and settings.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ADW launcher has a backup and restore function

[Q] Backing up app saves/preferences?

I'm updating RoyalGinger 1.6 to 2.0, usually I just wipe and start fresh, but recently I've been playing alot of games and tweaking settings on my phone and would like to back-up my savs/preferences, as well as my alarm clock settings. Is there a way to backup these up so when I flash the newest roms, I don't have to start over? Thank you in advance.
Titanium backup
Titanium is awesome, but I find MyBackup Pro easier to use.
Titanium Backup - keep in mind TB doesn't back itself up so keep an apk on your SD to obtain and install after flash
Sent from my Droid using XDA Premium App
+1 for Titanium Backup..
The app has the ability to create a zip file with the app on it. Make one and sign it using zip signer off of the market. This way you can flash the Titanium Backup zip file after flashing your rom making it possible to restore without adding your google account. This way the market doesnt try redownloading all of your apps.
+1 for MyBackup Pro being easier to use. And +1 for keeping a copy on your SDcard, it's kinda pointless when market just redownloads all your apps anyways...
I use Titanium back up pro just because it's stupid EASY to use. Set a automatic back up @ xx:yy time every day. It automatically backs up. When you want to restore menu > batch > restore missing app & data.
stupid easy.
as far as people, who use Titanium backup, wanting to back up applications into a .apk. Super Manager and Absolute System Tools both do this. And both are free.
someone posted also about backing up your apn settings, with some free market app called apn backup or whatever, since some people had trouble remembering what to plug in to the RG2.0 settings there.
im also looking at moving from 1.6 to 2 just like you, but i wish i knew more about this market automatically redownloading all your apps thing. what i did was use mybackup to backup my stock 2.2.1 sms and email settings (plus some apps and data) , and then was able to restore all my sms texts, which was good.
i found that the apps i restored werent then set to update via the market. maybe i should have backed up the market app with data, with mybackuppro to maintain the link between apps and the market?

MIUI + Titanium backup issues

Hey guys. I'm trying to transition from MIUI back to a Sense rom. My problem is, Titanium Backup doesn't seem to want to work with this switch. I'll backup all my apps in MIUI, but when i nandroid restore to my new install, Titanium reports it only has one app available to be restored. What am i missing??
Try to uninstall, reboot and then reinstall TB and see if it sees all the backups it made.
Tried that. It says it's backed up all apps when in MIUI, but as soon as i flip over to my Sense rom it says there aren't any apps to be restored.
Have you tried MyBackup root? IME its a better app and more reliable.
I'll give it a shot. I was just about to give up. This is one of the most frustrating ROM transitions i've ever experienced.
The other thing I was gonna say was to delete all the backups, then make new ones and try again.
Normally, I create a new folder and move all the TB Backups there, just incase I need to restore something from the past
I thought i did that. I wiped out the folder that TB backs up to in Dropbox, but when i tried to restore missing apps on the Sense rom, it restored dozens of old, OLD apps i haven't had installed in months and restored NONE of the new apps i've installed on MIUI. Still not sure how exactly that happened.
You have to delete or move the backup files on your SD card. That's where TB reads them and stores them. Drop box is just a backup... for your backups
Right....so what i did was clear the folder, on drop box, sync from my MIUI build, restored to my Sense build, synced with dropbox(which downloads the files), then restored missing apps. Somehow that process pulled in all my month+ old apps.
