What happens when you change to another android-build?
What will happen with the stuff I have bought on android market from the first build?
Can you have a number of different androidfolders on your SD card and just boot which ever you want from Windows mobile?
I have changed builds a few times and for me, all my apps downloaded again onto the new build no problem. It should do same for you, assuming you have a Google account linked to your phone. Just open Market and it should do it from there
As for paid apps, can't say for sure I've only downloaded free apps but should be the same

Platform: HTC-HD2
Android 2.2 DFT (31-12-2010)
Problem: Unable to delete primary Google account from device under Android 2.2.
Got this phone from a friend, but his google account is still linked at Market. I already created a new one for myself, but I can't install any apps, due to the linkage between his google account and Market. t
Did already tried steps under settings/Accounts & sync/Google/ remove account/ only get a massage asking to go to settings, under privacy and reset the phone, which have not been able to find. The only place I’ve found which allows you to delete accounts and personal data is under Settings/ SD & phone storage /Factory data reset. I’ve tried repeatedly resetting phone from that selection and still will not remove Google account. Resetting by deleting img-file on /sd/android works either, since there is no such file there...
Anyone a solution?
Thanks!
same problem
I just picked up a HD2 cheap just so I could play with the Android part of it..Love playing with phones so I'm not a pro quite yet but it sounds like maybe you need to re-install Android 2.2 with DFT. That should give you a clean fresh rom install. Like I said, I just started on the HD2 so I might be wrong but it might be worth a shot.
There are different ways to do it.
I would suggest to make a fresh install of your chosen rom.
If you want to keep existing rom then you need to answear this. What magldr version are you using? (To check the version, turn off phone, turn on and then quickly after hold power button till you get to magldr, check version, post it here.)
I tried searching for the answer to my question in multiple forums as well as reading the suggested similar threads, but didn't get a definitive answer. Apologies if this has been resolved, if someone could point me to the right thread.
If I wipe my SD install of CM7 without backing up the apps (or if something happens between backups), will Android Market have the full list of apps that I purchased and downloaded for me to re-download to my NC?
I ask because I've fiddled with different SD cards and different ROMs, and each time I look at the Market the list of apps I've downloaded (all free so far, until I get this question answered ) are different and incomplete.
I saw that there is an Eris Market Fix for this issue. Does Google put some sort of unique identifier file on each gapps install to cause this? According to their FAQ all you need to do is log into the same Google account for a complete history of (re-downloadable) apps in the My Apps area, but that hasn't been the case for me.
All paid apps will remain listed in the Market forever, but not free apps. On the other hand, on the first install of a new Android device, it will attempt to sync up with the apps you had installed previous (free and paid).
The Android Marketplace site does remember free apps however, and you can use that to push previously installed applications to a new device.
But keep in mind, free or paid, the Market only remembers that you downloaded them. It will not retain any data for those applications. That's where software like Titanium Backup comes in.
Thanks, that's very helpful! I just got Ti Backup Pro, using in conjunction with Dropbox, I was worried about my paid apps not showing up as such whenever I wipe / update my SD cards
Hi, can anyone confirm if when you download from MarketPlace it remembers ? i have just flashed new rom and of course dont have the previous installed apps seperate
Market remembering
If you mean the official Android Market, yes it will remember what you have downloaded and purchased.
When I bought my Iconia Tab it immediately showed all the apps I had downloaded and installed on my Droid phone. It only shows the ones that were INSTALLED, not the ones downloaded and UNINSTALLED, or side-loaded from somewhere else.
Open the Market app and choose Menu-Purchase History- log in and all free and purchased apps will be displayed.
Have fun!
I have more than one Gmail acount and I signed in with the wrong one once. Signed back in with my other account and everything was good.
Where are Metro Apps Installed. I know there is a folder in Program Files\WindowsApps but Are they User related or System Related? Or they are like Preinstalled and get installed on new account creation?
Also I see a lot of folder of the same Apps with different versions. Is it safe to remove older versions (folders)?

Apps are indeed placed in "Program Files\WindowsApps"(all apps) I have removed the older versions with no noticable issues. To delete a current App, simply flick up on the app tile, (be it on the start menu, or in all apps) and select "uninstall". Note that this will only uninstall the latest version of the app. You will still have to go to "Program Files\WindowsApps" to delete any prior versions.
Ok with that, thanks. But I uninstalled and want them back, how can I reinstalled without Store? BTW I'm using PC, not tablet.

Ummm... you can't reinstall them without the Store. The store is how you install apps... that's the point of it.

OK, and why the heck the older versions are leftover? they use unnecessary space.
The original versions of the built-in apps persist so that any newly-created user accounts will be able to install those apps. Additionally, if you already have multiple user accounts on your system, but they have different versions of an app installed (for example, because they were never updated on the other accounts), the leftover versions will be present as well. There may be some other circumstances where old app versions stick around, too... it's not fully understood. Bear in mind that sometimes empty folders will stick around, consuming trivial space but appearing at a glance to indicate entire apps left behind.
Mind you, this has all been discussed before. Please search before posting.
Hi,
I have a Samsung Y S5360 (which I like a lot) and Wechat was insisting too much on updating to its latest version, for which I had to upgrade to a newest ROM, so I got Lollipop (just that was a log process for me, as I'm not an expert, but I'm learning a lot the last days). Anyway, so I am installing apps now and I have some issues that's not making it so easy.
1. I'm in China so I have no access to Play Google. Also installing downloaded apps from the SD card has only worked until now for Link2SD and Superuser, all other apps I tried to install that way get parsing error.
So, I'm getting apps from Baidu and Chinese apps provider. My Chinese reading is less than okay, so I kind of follow by instinct, which is possible, that way I've installed already Pleco, and another couple of apps successfully. Except for Airdroid, and Wechat.
2. The problem with Airdroid is that I could get a 2.something version but not the latest 3.something, and as I tried to get it, even from Airdroid web, it's not working.
3. The problem with wechat, which is way more important to me than Airdroid, is that I get to install an old version, but still newer than the one I used to have when I was on Gingerbread. One strange thing that happened is that the look of it though wasn't the same as the new style of wechat but as the Wechat of a year or so ago. Strange. ... Besides that, then the most relevant issue is that once installed the old version I get the message to update it, once the update is downloaded and installed, I opened it and I only get to see the opening image (the earth and the guy) and that's it, it stops.
I tried installing the latest version from some of the Chinese providers of apps, but it happens the same. It's installed, and it's opening, I see the earth and the guy, and then off to the screen of icons in android.
I've tried to uninstall and install, wiping cache in between. Didn't worked. I tried redoing the process of installing the ROM all over again. Didn't work. I tried to leave Wechat in the phone, and not move it to the SD Card. Didn't work. I tried kissing the phone, and chanting some Hawaiian healing songs. Didn't work.
Here I am, at the end of the day, trying another way, I kind of believe the force is with XDA devs
