I use Astro File Manager to back up my apps. I wiped my phone when I installed CM5 and I restored all my apps with Astro. I noticed that the apps I restored with Astro do not show up in my market's Downloaded section. Is there a way to delete the markets cache or something so that they show up so I can get updates? Thanks.

Works nicely, thanks!
anytime...............
And get a better backup app than Astro.
Astro only backups the apk but not the data - so theres also no market link available. You should try backing up with "titanium backup" - it's the only app, which backups all data
I'll try that from now on, thanks guys
Thanks for the answer I'll be giving it a try. Although I just want to point out that titanium backup isn't an option if you don't have root which I was stuck without until recently.
Edit: I lost one paid app using this method. Thankfully it was an app I was going to get rid of anyway. Other then that I was able to get all my apps relinked to the market using this method. And now that I'm rooted I'll be using Titanium backup from this point on.
I went little bit too far and pressed CLEAR DATA on my phone Market App.
Now when I go to Market, Downloads tab it shows only Apps I bought but the free Apps I downloaded from Market aren't there.
Some of them I know to be have newer versions already.
Is there a way to fix the 'connections' for those apps to the market without reinstalling/updating them?
EDIT: found it, just need to install any apps and all seems restored
You can restore a market link udong titanium backup, even when.you did not backup the link before..

I've been trying out a few ROMs, and have had problems retaining or restoring apps when moving to a new ROM or restoring an old one. I'm using ROM Manager Premium, and MyBackup Pro to backup/restore my apps.
The problems I've had are:
1. Moved from Virtuous G-Lite to MIUI, using ROM Manager to download and install MIUI, and selected the option to backup my existing ROM. Before doing so I also backed up all my apps and data using MyBackup Pro. When I installed MIUI and tried to restore my apps using MyBackup Pro most of the apps failed to restore, saying something like "no market data found" for each app.
2. Restored Virtuous G-Lite from recovery mode, using the backup taken above. Many of the apps were not correctly restored - their app icons were set to the Android Market icon, and when I tried to run them I got "could not launch the requested activity". These were typically non-core apps that I'd downloaded from the market.
When restoring apps using MyBackup Pro I've selected the option to restore apps only (not data), as I'd previously had problems with apps force closing if I restored apps and data.
Can anyone recommend a tried and tested way of restoring apps cleanly after switching ROMs?

Titanium backup is the best app of all. Also when you switched roms, did you do a full wipe on your phone? Because usually backup apps sometimes stores the backups on the phone data so when you wiped the phone is lost all data. Hope this helps

When I downloaded MIUI using ROM Manager I chose all three options (including wiping the Dalvik cache) - is that what you mean by wiping the phone?
When I backup my apps using MyBackup Pro I always backup to SD card, so the data should not be lost when wiping.
The specific error that I get when trying to restore my apps is "Android market link was not found"
I don't understand why it's trying to contact Android market if it's trying to restore an already-installed app?

try backing up with titanium backup. its be the best out there.
this is because you wiped your data from ROM manager and not from recovery
best thing to do when youre going to switch to a new ROM is to back up your apps (using either titanium backup or my backup) and then reboot into recovery and from there you factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and battery stats THEN u flash the new ROM
some either use the g2superwipe, or something like that
but doing it this way is the best so you dont have to mess with half ass wipes that cause trouble when u want to restore your apps
With titanium backup pro
Go to menu
More
Market doctor
That should fix broken market links
Also don't backup with Google if using tb
Under home
Settings
Privacy
Auto restore
Edit... Be advised that wiping battery stats just be done properly. Do your homework before you wipe battery stats

I used MIUI and it's My Backup feature but it wasn't as awesome as Titanium Backup. Titanium Backup backs up your app and its associated data. Then when you restore all your apps/data it links everything back to the market so you can receive updates through the market. ROM Manager and Titanium Backup are two must haves for any user who has rooted their Android device and is playing with ROMs.
The apps that wouldn't restore for me with the whole market link thing were "blackmarket" apps. With those making sure you have saved the apk on your cpu or something seems important. I have titanium pro and mybackup pro.

Same here. PRO key is worth the few $$.
And yet another vote for Titanium Backup--the pro key is worth the money, and I've personally found the app a lifesaver during "rom experimentation"

yeah, but the pro version, because with the free one you have to re-install all your apps manually. It takes time when you have 100+ apps
I flash to KitKat factory image from CM10.2 (wiped everything including my internal memory), and then I flash to CM11 nightly and use titanium backup to restore only my app data. and here is where the problem comes in, none of my data is restoring from Titanium, although it says data restore completed in titanium, it actually isn't. Every apps force close when I open it after restoring. After that if I restart my phone, those app that i restored will be disappeared from my app drawer, it didn't appear in settings -> app either, if i try to install again it won't install, only way is to manually search for the apk file through file manager and delete it. I cant restore anything from titanium backup! FYI, I only backup the data of the app, not including the apk, but after restoring the app force close and restarting my phone the whole app gone missing from my app drawer. I can't lose all my data. what can I do? please help :crying::crying:
Another question, every time after u guys flash a new rom do u restore the old android ID or use new one in titanium backup?
Latest update of TB has caused some issues for many people. For me, on some roms, it fc's when I click an app to restore. Try googling for an apk of a previous version, and see if the problem persists. Regarding the id, you can keep the new one. Some functions might not work properly though, like location update. You can go into your settings for your Google account on a computer and withdraw access rights for apps and devices, then everything is fine. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I've realized that most of my Amazon apps have disappeared from my S7 edge. If I install some apps directly from Amazon app store or if I restore a backup of them with Titanium Backup, they only appear and work until I restart the phone.
my s7 edge has the newest DBT stock rom.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks!
I think I have this issue too, only one app installed but it's gone grey.
I am on the newest Australian firmware, no carrier.
If you restored a backup using titanium it might be a problem of linking the store licence with the app while restoring. Could be that titanium backup is linking your playstore account to these underground apps.
Did you try to manually install amazon underground, activate unknown sources, then install the apps? Maybe you test at least 2-3 apps.
No root or backups here. I did install Amazon manually from a new download. I only installed the one game and noticed it was grey last week. It's just Tetris, haven't even played it yet.
I was taking to @rambo21es he has used titanium
In your case.. Could it be that you got Tetris with Amazons actually free program? Here in Germany Tetris isn't "actually free" (anymore?).

It didn't work directly from Amazon store, as I have said, and it didn't work with Titanium backup.
Finally I did wipe data and everything works now.
I've got several apps I got from Amazon (for free) quite a while ago, and have no problem with them. They all seem to be working fine. I'm not rooted, so I obviously didn't restore from my prior Titanium backup, but had no problem reinstalling them from Amazon.
You did reinstall the Amazon Underground app, right?
