I just rooted my dhd and i noticed that my market account shows how installed all my old applications. Is possible to update the status of the market with the only apps actually installed?
I have the same issue. I installed some applications back when they did all the 10p apps, and some of them weren't very good. They still appear in my market as "not installed".
Not a major problem but it's just one of those small things in life that shouldn't bother me but does lol
Those app will remain there as you now own those apps as you have paid for them, i think what the OP is meaning, there are free apps that show in the market under your settings that you no longer have installed and have not had them installed for a long time but they still show in the market
uninstall the app
Open the market
Press the menu button, settings, remove search history
This only works on non paid for apps.
Only other way is to set up a new google account

I discovered that Titanium Backup provides an interesting function. You can disassociate all your apps from market.

Does the Desire/Android OS have an application update function as seen on the iPhone.
Once an app is installed on an iPhone, updates to that app are automatically suggested to the user, who then only has to agree to the install to get the update. All very seemless.
Is the situation the same for built-in apps and 3rd party apps?
How is this handled on Android?
Yes it does.
You have to open the Market app, and there you will have listed all available updates, which can be downloaded and installed in one, max two clicks
Yes you get a notification automatically as an update becomes available, you click and get directed to the list of installed apps in the market, and the ones with an update on top of the list.
That can ofcourse also be disabled, where you have to enter the market and check manually.
Excellent news!
Makes a big difference.
Just found this app and installed it. I want to make sure that I don't "freeze" some important files. Has anyone else installed this and played around to find what works and doesn't work?

Haven't used that. I just use Titanium Backup or actually uninstall crap I don't want. TB has a freeze function and is free. But for the ultimate stream-lined-ness? CM7. The new gapps scheme only downloads what you want, not all of the google apps.
Using System Tuner instead...
Didn't try this app as I simply uninstall unwanted system apps, then I usually freeze Google Maps which keeps restarting and consuming CPU while I don't need it most of the time!
You can check the app there:

I'm running ACS Syndicate Frozen Rom, and there is no backup option in my privacy settings. Is this an Epic, Syndicate, or EB13 issue? My paid apps are not showing up in my market. I want Beautiful Widgets back. Help please.
This may be a stupid question for you, but are you logged in with your google account that you used to purchase the apps. They should automatically show up in the market and show that you purchased them.

It doesn't matter what the.rom has. Once you sign Into your Google acct then it syncs everything to your phone. All your paid apps will be.listed in the market under my apps and then you just download them.

So I do see that the apps that I backed up are now being recognized by the market and are appearing under "My Apps". However, paid apps that I previously purchased (launcherpro icons for example) that I forgot to back up are not being listed and downloaded. If I find this app in the market, it asks me to pay again for it. Did I lose those apps forever?
O have never seen that before cause everytime I flash some thing all my paid apps appear when I log into my acct. Maybe you could contact the developer of the app and explain your situation. Sorry bro I don't have another answer for you. Did u happen to make a nand backup at all? If you did you could restore from that. Good luck man.

Thanks for your help. My app market is themed. If it is not a stock market, could that be the reason my non-backed up paid apps don't appear in MyApps?
Like one of the previous posts said, you can try contacting the developer and see what they say. As far as purchased apps not showing, I've never seen that happen. Usually when I log in with my google account the only apps that show in my market are the paid ones. don't think it has anything to do with you having backed them up or not.

I rooted and flashed CM7 on my HTC Desire a few weeks ago, and I've noticed something a while after doing so. I can never get my Android Market app to show my downloaded apps properly. At times, it just reverts to a blank slate. My concerns are that I cannot see update notifications properly, as there my apps are missing my market app list.
A secondary concern is that when I buy an app, I'll have problems re-downloading them, and might be forced to pay for it again.
If you need more information, please tell me.
OMG, I am also facing such problem!!
Cannot see installed apps like I updated flash player using market but later it just dissapear under my apps, skyfire missing, file expert missing!
Quite a number of downloaded free apps from market are missing under my apps!!
Currently using market version 2.3.4 from supernova rom 1.0.2.6?
Any help would be appreciated!
I did a bit more research, and this may shed some light.

OK, so first things first. I am rooted and have attempted repeatedly to remove the Google Play Services apk with no luck. I have used TB to uninstall. freeze, delete. It will delete the file and or remove it but when I reboot its back and it wont go away. I have looked into the my
/data/app
folder and deleted the file from there and then removing it with TB, still whether I reboot or I wait anywhere from minutes to a coupel hours its back and as it doesnt show up under the PLAY store I cant think of any other way to remove the dang thing and its eating about 40mb of internal storage. I move it to SD and it will work for a bit, but then its back to internal storage..... I dont even use Google+ that much on my phone. I use it on my PC.
Any ideas/suggestions?

It takes only 7.92MB of internal storage for me.
You need to remove the GPlay store to remove it permanently.
Maybe if I rename the play store apk and add a .bak then reboot then remove the dang thing entirely it will be gone.
I looked and I dont know whats different with mine but its eating around 39mb on my phone.
Why would you want to remove it? This app, as far as I can remember I read, gives us "Smart Update" which lets you install and update only the updated portions of apps instead of redownloading the entire app. So... I just moved the app to my system partition using TB, then Integrate it with the ROM everytime it gets updated. Internal memory problem solved.
According to Google Play reviews, you need it for YouTube and possibly other Google services.

Sorry, but this is wrong. Smart Update is a Google Play Store feature and has nothing to do with Google Play Services.

Yeah true, since newest version.
Google Play Services is something like a replacement for older Google APIs on Android. It allows developers to use a newer version of those APIs (this "newer" version is not better in any way, but new ). Google's idea is to get more independant from hardware manufacturers and their updates. They want this APIs to be no longer part of the system to update them on their own. They started porting their Apps to the new APIs, YouTube is one of the affected apps (what means they did not add any feature but let the app work only on Android systems with Play Services installed).
Im at war with Google now. Will go Windows
Up until today I was quite happy with my ZTE T60. Then suddenly upon waking up this morning it was sluggish, the Internet was unresponsive and became a great disappointment. Then the low memory warnings started, my "market" Icon was switched to "Play Store". So into settings and application management I go. Now I notice two new applications I did not install or was I asked for permissions. One being the play store which is only a MB or so bigger than the old "market" app but now I also have this "Google play services" thats 19MB! My device only has 128M ROM. I don't have room for it and I cant get rid of it. Being that Google took over my device I have decided to boycott all Android devices. I would also like to note the same exact thing was done by Google with my Samsung GT-S5570 Galaxy mini. Whats the point of pushing store software onto devices like this that takes up all of the Rom so one couldn't download anything from the store if they wanted to? Doesn't Google realize this enormous update is not suitable for every android device on-line and why have they mandated it? Sorry Google, I used to love ya but this is the big goodbye.
I am not sure about windows phone OS but I can agree with you. Now Apple and Android are doing the same bad things than Windows for desktop did in the past.
Unfortunately on mobilephones its is even worse because by default you are not root/admintrator.

You need it for like all services by google. The google play store will just keep downloading it and putting it on your phone until the end of time. Youd probably have to re engineer the google play and other google apps to not download this app.
