*Removed Android Market Apps* - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have a link to find the Apps that have been Removed from the Android Market?
I'm just curious cause a bunch of apps that I've been using, seem to all of a sudden not show up when I search for them in the Market!
Thanxx in Advance...

I was once trying to find a particular game's backup program that I had used to make a backup (and now I wanted to restore) ... I went through hundreds of google results to no avail - I don't think there is a general solution to this. Perhaps there are legal ramifications? All of the third-party app trackers that I found didn't have removed apps, or did and just linked to google's (not working) download location. I think the key is to always use something like Titanium Backup! That way you can always get your apps back.

Yeah I know... I usually make backups of just about every app that I download.
But sometimes I guess I'm just Stupidly anticipating a update that just Never comes! Lol...

I don't know what app are you lookin for, but you can try to look for them in others market like Snappzmarket, Aptoide, Blackmart or applanet

just suggestion : if your phone use custom ROM, try to flash gapps (google apps) with CWM (ClockWork Mod).
try to use search function with keyword "gapps flash"

Can Gapps get flashed with a Sense Rom?

yes you can, but it's not recommended if you use base ROM.

Maybe developers of those apps have excluded your phone from their Supported Devices list...

How to Uninstall System Apps?

Hi there! I have a rooted phone with original kernel KE8. I wanted to replace my Google Maps app (which is a system app) with a newer version of the same app. The version which came pre-installed on the SGSII was 5.2, but my friend has given me a newer version 5.6. But the problem is that the new version is not getting installed because the older version will not get removed by the uninstaller. Does anyone know how to do this?
Titanium Backup I guess.

Go to the "Backup/Restore" tab. Tap the app to bring up various action buttons, one of which is uninstall. Be careful....

Did exactly what you told. Google Maps is removed but so are 3 other applications along with it.....Navigation, Places & Latitude! And the new file which I had of Google Maps v5.6 version is also NOT installing. So now what to do? How do I get them back? I did not create any backup of them before uninstalling the existing Google Maps.

install Google Maps from market... after install u'll get back Latitude/Places/Navigation...
@prosumerhacks : Thanks, that's exactly what I'm doing right now. But was just wondering why wouldn't the phone install a Google Maps file which is already downloaded and transferred to my phone from my laptop?

It does, under the tab "Constricter" find Maps and uninstall. It works here!
Thanks everyone for helping. I re-installed the latest version of Google Maps from the Market again. Navigation, Places & Latitude are a part of Google Maps only and were also installed.
There is also an app called 'Root Uninstaller' free in Android market which allows to uninstall and even freeze system/sd card apps which TB doesn't allow in the free version.

[Q] Google Play auto download all apps (yep noob question)

DEVICE: Nook Color
OS: Currently Android CM7
App: Google Play
Subject: Easiest way to re-download apps
OK, searched Google, searched the forum, used the "Here are the similar threads we found:" and couldn't find a definitive answer.
I originally installed CM7, then tried CM9 and am now going back to CM7. In the meantime, I have installed A LOT of apps from Google play. No, I didn't do any backups using Titanium, but I will once I get the apps back.
Somewhere along the way I got the impression that Google Play automatically downloaded all the apps you already purchased on your "new" device. I did see the screen during initial setup that said something about doing what I thought was downloading the apps, but I read it as if you want to do this later, click cancel.
So, can I trigger a download of all those apps, or do I just need to pony up and click install in Google Play on the device for EVERY app and remember to use Titanium backup the next time I am planning on wiping my device?
Hmm...why not you try to clear data from the play store app via settings?it should prompt you again...

On the device, Go to Play, then settings? No obvious option for that from what I see.
I don't see anything under the device settings either.
go to settings->manage applications->play store->clear data,cache

Found it. OK, now should I get prompted somewhere to re-download? I didn't.
Worse case, I did find a decent spot on the Google Play website I can push the apps from on my PC. Still have to do it one at a time, but easier than through the Nook.
O.O ...then try to uninstall the google play update...it will redownload again...no guarantee that you will get what you want but won't do any harm either...

Well, thanks. I ended up reload my wife's...I upgraded her from a 1GB to a 32GB and got no real upgrade prompt from Google, so fortunately Titanium Backup worked. I guess I misread that prompt. I'm guessing it's just actual data, not apps.

OK, so I wiped mine last night and loaded CM9...and it started downloading the apps (after prompts). That ran like garbage, so I reloaded CM7 again this morning. Nothing...must be a feature of CM9 somewhere?
I am really confused.
It is an option on the Android OS, not particularly on CM7 or CM9.
I don't have the NC in front of me now so I can't confirm for sure but under Settings -> Privacy (or something alike), there is an option called "Automatic restore". If you get it checked, it will automatically re-download and reinstall all apps that saved/stored on your google account. You may uncheck it if you don't like.
.
Try doing exactly like votinh said. It works for me.

I'm wondering if it is only with ICS...or some post CM7 based build. I did find an article on it so at least I feel a little more sane. However the setting you are referring to is only for data. That makes me think there's something different between the CM7 & CM9 builds...perhaps Android itself added the option between the two.

I've tried that before, but I unchecked the box and checked it again to no avail.
Settings > Privacy > Automatic Restore was checked by default. I unchecked then checked again and no apps came down and I was never prompted.
FWIW

Not sure if this is what you are talking about, but if you go to the bottom of Google Play, and click My Orders and Devices, then on the next page, select the My Devices Tab, I think you can delete it there.
I might try that...maybe

I am having the same issue - did resetting the devices work?
if u dont have too many apps then go on play store find that apps and under stays to check option Auto Update
I FIGURED IT OUT ! =) ... well to some extent ..
In CM 10 i just went to the ROM Manager and choose "Fix Permissions" And after a reboot it started downloading my apps again =)
Now i have used "Fix permissions" in CM RECOVERY mode a hundred times before. But that did not help my apps to auto-download on a new device.
So just to be clear. this is the APP "ROM Manager" NOT the "volup+home+power" CM Recovery "Fix Permissions"

I used titanium backup app to remove them but you need to root your phone first.

remove them from the rom if its a custom rom and install
If stock you will need to root and remove on the phone system /apps
Or use TB to freeze or uninstall .
If you remove an essential app then your phone may not boot .

Probably a dumb newb question but If you do this and the phone won't boot, is it bricked forever or can you get it back somehow?
If you install cwm you can make a back up before you touch anything.
Or you could just install the stock Rom for your phone if you get stuck, but that would mean starting from scratch.
In regards to removing apps there are lists stating what apps are safe to remove.

remove default browser?
I have a Galaxy S3 (stock Ice Cream Sandwich) and chrome installed.
Is it OK to remove the standard web browser in order to force all apps that open URLs to use chrome instead?

You dont need to remove the default browser to do that..just make Chrome your default browser..
if you really don't want to use it, just disable in app info. setting-application-all- find your app then disable.

In order to remove stock apps, you first need to root your phone, then install titanium backup, it gives u the option. To either freeze or delete an app. If u not sure if an app should be deleted u can freeze it first to see what effect this has. The paid version allows u to batch restore. Any updates to your firmware will replace any stock apps u deleted. U can install rom manager to backup your ROM.

[Q] searching an app to backup applications

Hi all!
I am searching an application that allows me to backup the .apk files of both user and system applications like AppWererabbit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2196069&page=4). The problem is that i need this app to be compatible with android versions below 4.0, i.e. android 2.3.X.
I have already installed titanium backup on my phone, but i miss the ability to set an automatic .apk backup when each system/user app is updated. I think that to keep .apk files of older versions of the same app could be usefull. Anyone has some suggestion, please?

Thanks for your reply but, as i have already mentioned in the first post of the thread, i have already have TB. Since TB is "THE" backup application, i have searched through the settings but i did not find the ability to set an automatic app backup when app is updated. If you are saying that such an option is available in TB, please tell me how to find it. Thanks.

I personally use ES File Explorer to backup my apps. Theres an option to backup app data too but thats only for rooted phones. But I'm not sure if it'll work on Android versions below 4.0

As file manager i do usually use ES, but i didn't know it had such a function. You can schedule app backups with ES?
I don't think you can do that.

That is the problem. I searched through the option of ES File Manager but i did not find such a feature. The ability to schedule the app backup (as well as the ability to set an auto-backup when updating) is essential to me.

[Q] How to disable Playstore Updates?

Hi guys,
just got my new phone and unfortunately i had to realize, that there are some apps i cant install.
I know that this issue depends on my Playstore, so i want to install a custom playstore with no restrictions.
Did this many times on other phones and never got problems.
But this time there is a problem:
I can install the modded version of the playstore without any problems. But it self-updates every time and i cant do anything against.
In the Last android versions there was a "Market Updater" App, which you could just freeze to avoid this.
But in my Android 4.2.2 theres no such app.
Any Ideas how i can prevent the Playstore from updating?

Dude you sure about that, I mean if you have knowledge how to install custom play store than you must have the basic knowledge from where to disable the auto update feature.
goto play store>settings>Auto update apps select here none.
After this you will have to manually update all your apps that you want.
Sorry if I misinterpreted your query..

i think you can just download 1 of the versions in the bottom of the post, and just rename it to vending.apk or phonesky.apk and push it to /system/app (just replace the original vending.apk or phonesky.apk) (and backup your original file)

which phone do you use by the way? cause it could also be that the apps you miss are incompatible with the phone.
there is however, an app that also appears to be able to remove the restrictions (i think with a proxy of some kind), this app is mostly used for apps unavailable in certain countries.
