The problem is, I have a bunch of apps I rarely use but still like to keep around just in case. I use AppMonster now to backup certain apps like this, but is there a way to let's say, add shortcuts to uninstalled apps to the homescreen, and when you click them it installs them, and uninstalls them again once the app closes?

Ok, there is literally no way that I'm the only one who has asked this question but I can't find the answer by searching. Here's my problem, after I flash my rom and restart my phone the market begins auto-downloading all the apps I previously had installed. I do not want this bc I use titanium backup for all of that.
I know I can avoid it temporarily if I skip entering my email address, but there has to be a setting for me to un check that will make it not try to auto download anything once I do add my account.
I'm sure you guys have all run into this by now, so can someone please tell me what setting will resolve this issue?
I'm wondering if there is any way to get notified when applications are installed. I'd like to install my app as a service which just waits to be notified on app installation.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen testing my app on a device I go through several "installs", although it's really the Eclipse plugin doing this for me.After a while (not very long) the device starts complaining about insufficient storage.It seems that progressive "re-installs" eats away the phone storage even though the app being installed (presumably) is either removed by Eclipse first or at least overwritten.Interestingly if I use a task killer to kill everything on the phone (which I only use for dev purposes btw),the available storage indicator recovers and I can keep working.As I said, it's more annoying than anything as the workaround.well works, but I'm wondering if there is some sort of cache chewing up storage?More importantly, I'm a little concerned that the same may happen with updates from the Market?That is, the update effectively replacing the current version of the app but leaving an allocation of storage behind in its wake.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHave anyone notice yesterday anything strange in the downloads/active install data from your apps? My app lost more than 100 downloads(which should be impossible) from which most of them were active installs, so now my apps is 15 places down and my percentage of active installs badly affected. Has anyone else been affected?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have created a Black and Pink Glass theme for Go launcher that installs and loads fine. When I upload the theme to the android market and then its downloaded from the market and installed it installs as a .zip file instead of an .apk file. I have several other themes that are working fine. I have tried rebuilding it from scratch and the issue is still there. I have attached the android manifest.xml for reference.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm getting a little concerned about the issue. I know for a fact that my application is doing very well from analytic.But the active installs are dropping daily by a lot! While my total downloads are growing steadily as they always have! I'm worried cause I know that active installs affect an applications popularity and mine is going to be dumped all the way to the bottom if this continues.So what's causing this issue? Two theories: 1. I recently allowed to install to SD card. 2. Android Market is broken? Anyone seeing this issues? -Moto

View 3 Replies View Related1. Is 0.99.3b required for all roms, or is 2b sufficient?
2. Is WinRar needed for downloading and unzipping files, and if so, what is it?
3. Where is everyone downloading roms from?
4. What is the best/ most stable/ widely used rom?
I'm currently rooted, and ready to install some roms. I downloaded one, but it had a corrupt file and couldn't be used (youtube link from Droid Review).
The ratio of current/total installs for my first app is 0.66 so 33% of users that downloaded my app uninstalled it. Is this good or bad for a productivity app? I have nothing to compare it to.

None of the posts seemed to have a fix and based on the comments of users who'd contacted HTC, they don't have a fix either. I don't want to beat a dead issue but how am I supposed to sync my phone and computer? Anyone know of another program that I could use in place of HTC Sync?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an alarm clock app with one very specific feature - allow me to set the alarm tone to automatically stop after X seconds, then start again at the next snooze interval, and play for another X seconds.
Sure it seems every alarm app out there allows me to set Snooze intervals and stuff, but with my waking up habit, I don't like to physically have to touch the phone to get it to shut up until the next snooze interval. I like to lay in bed and let the alarm go for like 3-4 snooze intervals before I finally wake up.
I've tried Alarm Clock PlusV2, Alarm Clock Xtreme, Quick Alarm. None of them seem to have this.
I installed it on my Droid and when I open the list and long press on an app it gives me the option to Auto-Kill. I assume this means I won't have to kill this app any longer so I select this option but I find that I keep having to kill the same apps over and over again. What's the point of Auto-Kill or what am I doing wrong? There are lots of programs (most I didn't even install) that run all the time and I'm having battery issues so I don't have battery to waste on programs I'm not using and will probably never use.
View 22 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to tell Android to do the following when setting the background image for a TextView?
1. Scale the image so that it's just large enough to fill the the entire viewing area without any black borders, while still maintaining its aspect ratio. This might require clipping once the image is actually displayed, but that's OK (read on).
2. Then, center the image in the viewing area, both horizontally and vertically.
3. Finally, clip the image to the size of the viewing area, without any further rescaling.
I'm guessing that this kind of image processing is not automatically done via any of Android's facilities, and that I'll have to do it myself. If this is a correct assumption, could someone point me to some documentation or some examples which could explain how I can accomplish this? I'm guessing that I'll have to subclass my TextView and implement my own onDraw() method, but could someone confirm or deny that assumption?

The Android Market Developer Console shows two numbers for your submitted application; "total" and "active installs".What exactly does the "active installs" number mean?Is it affected by application upgrades? Does that yield a "total" of 1000 because the APK was downloaded 1000 times but an "Active Installs" of 500 (50%) because, in the end, only 500 people are running the app? Does an upgrade get counted as an uninstall followed by an install?
View 1 Replies View RelatedLately it seems that installing or updating an app is about a 50/50 chance of failure. This is both before and after I rooted. Then I installed LithiumMod and see the same thing. It doesn't appear to be any particular apps, and I've noticed it most recently with pandora update, wow armory, angry birds lite, and others. It makes the phone very useless in the instance where I need a new app and can't get it to work.
Going to Settings > Applications > Market > Clear Data seems to work... again, 50/50. Doesn't fix it every time.
Any ideas? I've googled around and most solutions are the "clear data" method, or just "try it again".
Looking for a Custom ROM with the ability to control what applications can be installed on an Android device or preferably to ask for an administrator password prior to installing, much like in Administered desktop systems. This is to be used on a large number of company-owned tablets.
The company i work for (a large travel & tour agency) is investigating the possibility of providing Tour Bus drivers with Android tablets, which will be used for filling out and submitting (via mobile data) a number of different types of forms.. Since the tablets will be connected to the internet via 3G / 4G, any downloaded apps will cause data charges by the ISP. This is a major issue as the Tour Bus fleet consists of over 300 vehicles and drivers
we were trying to find an app which would control what a user installs on an android device, but from what we have researched, this level of control is not available for Apps, for security reasons (such as malware)..Custom firmware seems to be the only option, if such a firmware exists.
