Remove Google Play Movies? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA,
I have a rooted HTC Amaze with s-off. I am able to remove all other system apps from my phone (Google Talk, Friend stream, etc.) except for Google Play Movies. I cannot find its location on my phones root. I have checked /system/app/ and it is not there.
I running ICS Android Revolution 3.
Thank you!

Try using titanium backup to remove them.

Hey nerot,
Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately it didn't work. When I went into Titanium Backup and try to uninstall Google Play Movies, it tells me that it cannot find the apk.
The sad thing is that the app remains on my phone and it STILL WORKS!
If anyone else has a suggestion, anything, please tell me.
I love you XDA,
Robert

Okay I located the 2nd location of Google Play Movies in the /data/app/ folder and removed it from there, but now the icon still remains on the app launcher.
How can I remove the app from the app launcher? (Google play movies doesn't start anymore )

Restarting my phone solved it!
Thanks.

I solve the problem with this, thanks!

ya great, but what is it called? I'm not rooting my girl's s9 but I'm adb removing all the crap and I can't find google play movies & bs. I've found com.google.android.gms and think it must be a part of that. It seems like a fun package of Google bloatware that installs all as one for them and as some serious type of system file, because I could uninstall all of KNOX this way, but not com.google.android.gms Any thoughts from anyone? BTW I'm running a galaxy s9 (S960U from AT&T)

WOA I don't know at what point this happened until now, but deleting everything I didn't like the looks of, I enabled this unrooted S9 AT&T to uninstall bloatware from settings. The uninstall option became available instead of disable. I must have passed out and am dreaming because even on root I never got this awesomeness.

V cast media manager!

Hello peeps just wanted to know disable the V Cast Media Manager from syncying, I tried unchecking everything the list, but the next day it magically checks everything on the list again.....
I know its part of the bloat ware package and can't be unistalled, just wanted an alternate option.

Just use one of the approved temp root methods and freeze the App with Titanium Backup.

Go over to the dev section, grab scrosler's CleanTool and it becomes pretty elementary from there. Oh and Media Manager's package name is com.htc.vmm.

I meant will disabling verzion media manager disable the nfl app as well? It requires several other apps to work properly and don't want it disabled.
If you just disable the vcast apps, NFL Mobile will work fine

Market question

Since I can't open my prime until tomorrow, I have a question. I'm assuming I can use the same Google account on the tab and my phone. So will every app that I get (free or paid) be downloaded to both devices? Like say I download xda on my phone, will that automatically get downloaded to the prime or will I have to physically instal it on the other device? That's foe the help. I can't wait to open this friggen thingthing
Sent from my DROIDX using xda premium
Yes. All such apps will download OR show you the option to download them, without additional purchase, since they're be tied to your Google Market account.
As far as I know, all apps from Google Market are tied to your Google account, and not your device id.
Thanks. So I guess if they just automatically download I can just delete then I that device.

I was looking and couldn't figure out where to see the apps that i paid for on my prime

They won't automatically download to both. If you download from the device, it'll only install to that one. If you download from the PC Market site, it'll ask what you want to install it on. It would be incredibly annoying if every single app I got on my phone also installed on my Prime. IF you check the box to download all your apps when first booting the Prime, it'll download all the apps from your account though, but it won't continuously sync purchases and install them without you though, thankfully.

In the market, hit the menu icon and select "My Apps." The ones installed will be at the top, the ones purchased but not installed on the device will be towards the bottom, separated by a line.
Thanks guys. I now have my answer

You'll also have to make sure the app is compatible with the TF Prime. If not, it won't let you download through Android Market.

Google music will not uninstall...

I am running a custom Rom from the android development section. It came with Google music beta. Now I am trying to update it to Google play music and it says I need to uninstall my previous one. I can't uninstall it. I tried super manager and that didn't work. Any way to do it from terminal? Thanks

Keep in mind there is no difference between google music and google play music.
Just different icons.
Also when are they going to fix this damn app for our phones?
Got it uninstalled titanium. I had no idea I could do that. And the reason I wanted to uodate was so the update icon from the play store would stop showing up. Thanks guys.
And I hope they update it soon. I hate tablet mode.

Is there a way to watch hulu in browser

Try temporarily disabling root? Just tossing what may be a useless idea, a more effective one, still not guaranteed mind you, would be to change your device on build.prop

Sorry I misread, you need a modified apk, I thought you were talking about the app

Did was it an install or did you have to move it to data/apps? If you moved it yourself, check permissions they should be rwx rxx rxx and restart the phone

Sent from my EVO using xda premium
If you install it the normal way there is no need copy it to your file directory or change permissions
Maybe its out of date or they changed something on their end

Did you try clearing data on flashplayer then uninstall flashplayer. And try installing the apk normally.
I originally had issues installing this on stock Rom, not sure why, I finally got it working by flashing stock with goodies, then just installing the apk normally.
I am using dolphin set to desktop mode

You have to pay for netflix, I like being able to fire up hulu once in a while to catch a show or two.

What shows does it have? Is it mostly new network shows? Thought it costs money for the service too...
Guess there's an easier way to find out about it than here. So, nevermind me.

Hulu is free hulu plus is a pay service, the modified flashplayer apk, mirrors a pc flash version, so u can trick the hulu site unthinking ur sitting at a pc and it will allow u to stream free content, basically the last 2 episodes of any show

[Q] Real Racing 3?

I would like to see how real racing 3 performs on the galaxy player, but haven't had any luck.
So, it shows up incompatible in the play store for me, but I managed to find the apk elsewhere. When I open it, however, it just exits back to the homescreen immediately.
Anyone else experiencing this, or got past it? I'll try messing with my build.prop, to see if I can get it working.

It plays quite well on the Galaxy Player 5.0, but the graphics are not what you would see on something like the Note II, (Due to both of our devices being single cored) but in general the game should run well on your Player 4.2. Its a great game and is a great time killer.

If you are rooted, I found a way around it. Install lucky patcher (google search it) then once in the app, you should find the play store app. Click on it and it should open a menu. click on patches and find the patch that says no restriction. Then once patched, all apps should come up on the play store.

Real Racing 3 is compatible with Galaxy Player 4.0 with ICS now,try it,although it need 1.7G data.

I found another solution that may work, go into settings and clear the play stores data and cache, then remove your Google account. Then try to download the game again, linking your account back when it says so.
