any way to update a market app not installed by market?

i have new apps installed not by market, is there a way to link them so i can get new updates? i downloaded gem miner dig deeper and its version is like 1.2 and newest is like 2.1 or somthing, i want to update my app. is there anyway to do that?... i cant update because that app isnt linked to the market app but it is on the market. it just doesnt show ive previously downloaded because it was installed from my computer

yea download the app threw the market and it will install on top of the other version, then you will have updates as well. unless its a paid app that you didnt pay for, then we cant help you as that would be illegal. im not saying you did, just putting it there.

I am running evil eris and installed all of my apps from an astro backup and they wouldnt automatically update for a week or so but then all of the sudden i started getting notifications saying that app updates are available and it worked. I dunno if I got lucky but I definitely installed all of my apps from a backup and not the market. Updated scannerbuddy this morning as a matter of fact.

Buy it and you shouldn't have any problems at all with that.

which is completely illegal and could get you banned from this site for mentioning that you stole the app, or could get you in big legal trouble. might i suggest you pay the 2.99 for the app (cost of most apps) and support the dev. its really not that much considering your phone bill is over $90 each month, so i think we all are rich enough to give up $3 to devs for their hard work.
