Sync Market w/ Installed via Backup apps?

I installed a bunch of backed up apps using ASTRO. Now the apps are not showing up as installed in the market, and therefor I won't get updates when they come. Is there any way to fix this?

You have to reinstall your applications from the Market to get update notifications.

thanks. I was afraid of that.
Now I see the new market is out for 2.1 and below. Will it auto update all the apps when I flash something new or is that a Froyo ability not related to the market version?

How to update preinstalled apps?

If i check in the market to update the Youtube app, or Google maps, it says its not even installed because i didnt get it from the market but it came preinstalled.
So how would one go about updating these apps?

Works fine for me since day one.
If app that came with the phone matches the version on Market, it just says "Installed" without me installing it manually.
If Market version is higher, it says "Update" and lets me download an update and install it.

for me, if i search youtube or google maps it says "Install"..
I just installed the youtube app and now it appears to have installed over the one i had previously..

Same here. Installed FB, Twitter, YouTube etc and they installed over the pre-installed versions.

Yeah, that's normal too.

I found the same to be true. What I did to make sure I get any updates for what came pre-installed is I looked up each app in the Market, and if I found it, but it did not say "Installed", I installed it, so now all my apps are linked to the Market, and will get updated when needed. Otherwise you will be stuck with the version that came on the phone forever.

Same with me the pre installed apps dont seem to be recogni8zed as installed by the Market i have had to download facebook, youtube etc like other DHD users

For me, only Adobe Reader & Flash were not recognized. Manually installed Reader and I froze Flash with Titanium Backup so didn't update that one.

Titanium backup can on rooted devices, at least, integrate newer updates into the ROM via batch menu

I was noticing the same thing a moments ago...
so, can I safely install the update over the current?
Will this prevent to get any system update?

i installed it over the preinstalled ones and it works fine.
Im not too sure about this preventing system updates though. But i did notice that if you go into Settings>Applications>Manage Aplications then find the app there, there is an option to undo the update incase it blocks system updates.

It doesn't block system updates as updates to apps never touch system partition and OTA only checks system partition for consistency.

unless you use Titanium to integrate the updates into the ROM, I do this to keep things simple as I don't really like having two versions of the program on my device unneccesarily, but even in this case the system updates overwrite the /system partition anyway

Yes, integrating updates from Titanum Backup touches /system partition, but regular Market updates don't.

I've run into a bug with the new youtube app. If you have a video loading and let the screen come off. After unlocking it, the video lags a lot doesnt respond to touches. You can exit out of the app but then the audio of the video doesnt stop playing. No choice but to restart the phone. This happened to me twice this morning.
Do you guys think this is a bug with the youtube app or maybe the Desire HD because i recall the preintalled youtube app had a major bug as well on the DHD.

[Q] Market Problem

Hello,
i found nothing about, therefore i will ask it.
I made a couple of CWF flashes and downgrades, and as i was on a Raidroid only temporarily for Radio S-OFF & Super CID the market logged my phone and overwrited me all my app settings with the standard ones (facebook, google, adobe - 5 or 6 apps before there were 20 or more). All my other downloads are not listed in the market website anymore.
The apps & settings i became back with Titanium Backup Pro also the Market Links. When i go on my android into the market and my apps, are all there and i can update it. But if i install a new ROM it will not download it automatically new from the market. Short question: Is there a way to force Google to actualize my downloade apps as it has done where i was on Raidroid ?
Thanks!
Stefan
Sorry for my english is complicated and i am german

Facebook sync

Hey so I have a basic knowledge of this stuff and was goofing around. I tried rooted my S5 and put CM12 on it but after a couple days decided I wasn't feeling it. I got the stock ROM from SamMobile and flashed it back.
Problem is now I do not have the ability to sync Facebook with my contacts. I have checked under Acounts and selected the Contacts sync but nothing happened. I checked the Facebook app and it no longer has the sync setting.
Is there an OEM apk I'm missing?
Thanks

A custom rom is a modified version of android (linux). Once installed, all apps downloaded from Playstore or other official store were no longer recognised by the said store. So no more auto sync, no more auto apps update etc.

Even after I put my phone back to stock ROM?
I have checked with the playstore and all other apps are updating fine. The only change is the fact that Facebook Galaxy integration is missing.

You can't "sync" with facebook now. To sync with any app, both users need to install and give permission to that app. Only then you can sync.

I have checked and currently XPosed is not supported

Removing some stock apps: is it possible?

Hi, i got today my new P9 lite.
I would know if it is possible remove some system apps like google play, google drive etc. and other operator branded apps.
I need root (after unlocked bootloader and twrp) to do this?
Thanks.

Yes you need root for removing system apps. But why would you want to remove play store? You use you're smartphone just for calls and texts?
Also, deleting play store services will cause system instability, inability to receive updates, or to use some other services like cloud backup.....
Yes, is ok to delete apps that are considered bloatware ( like amazon, eBay, or games) but some of these are removable without root.
Best thing for you is to go to settings -> apps and click on apps that bother you. There you will find uninstall button for what you can delete or disable for apps that can be frozen

Thanks for answer.
Anyway i didn't write i want to remove play store or play services! I just says some google apps like play, drive, hangouts etc.

yes you can

I have removed Hicare, Hivoice, Huawei ID, NFC service, Services Exchange and all the google stock apps (Movies, music, google+ etc) and all is working fine (Google play services is an essential app)

You can also disable these apps on the info page of the apps.
They remain on the phone and take the space but they are not active any more.

Could you give the whole system unpacked, I've deleted something that I cant't get it back, ty

To easily delede system apps you can use the app Link2SD if you have root access

Is not recommended to delete the stock apps because can cause malfunction of the system but you can stop the services. There are not many bloatware on Huawei P9 Lite an i think they can be necessary.

It's the app I have use to do the job. Works fine. Root needed.

1st of all you have to root your Android. You can use King Root app to root your device. (But I am not sure KingRoot will root your device or not). After rooting your android install lucky Patcher app. Then select the app you want to remove. But remember some of the apps are important for your device. so be careful about removing stock apps. Good luck!
