You can use titanium to move apps to system and v.v.......an app that has a solid reputation and comes from the playstore.
No offence OP, just making a relevant point

Google Play not detecing installed apps and not-updated apps

I was installing free apk's yesterday in CF-rooted Galaxy S3. Some I download directly from the Play Store in my device and some I get from the XDA forums (ike SuperSU), transfer it to the device and install the apk from there. With the first few programs, Google Play easily detects that it is INSTALLED but after I installed many programs it isn't able to detect them. Usually a status of "INSTALLED" is seen in Play Store or play.google.com (in the PC) for installed apps or games. But now there are some apps that aren't detected by it.
Also, the ones that are detected by google play but are non-updated (not latest version) have "INSTALLED" status instead of the usual "UPDATE".
What could be the issue here?

You can try using Market Doctor in Titanium Backup to see if it fixes it, otherwise they might not install with the right license for the Play Store in which case you generally have to keep getting them from where you get them, or buy from the market if you want it to update.
Market Doctor will only repair broken links, if it's not licensed to your account you can't do anything to update them with the store other than buying that way.

Ok. Well but why are the other apps detected properly even though I install them by their apk files?
BUMP!
Anyone? How can I use Market Doctor?
Try clear google play data in application manager 1st

You can use market doctor by using Titanium and looking throug it's operations (afaik you need the paid version)
Free apps can be linked to the market, paid apps cannot.

Well, for example Mobile Odin is a paid app in the Market but I can get it free here at XDA as others have mentioned. Before, when I installed it it was linked right away to the Market as "Installed".
Oh by the way, when I search ALL my apps at Google Play Store in the S3 (not in the PC) it detects them as "installed", no problem with that BUT when I go to "My Apps", some aren't listed there and there goes my problem?
Just tried using Market Doctor of Titanium Backup and it found 26 recoverable links. I then went to Google Play Store and downloaded a free app to "refresh" the my apps list but unfortunately this whole process didn't work. So what else can I do then?
Btw, even free apps that I sideloaded aren't showing in the my apps list but are shown as installed when I search them in the store.

Remove device compatibility issue with play store

Alright well I was on gingersnap LG 2.0 rom and now I'm back on gingerdx. I'm having problems downloading certain apps like the pro version of this app even though I used the pro version on gingersnap...I actually had to use a blackmarket app to download minimalistic text and now I am having problems trying to download recast weather on gingerdx..If I had solutions I wouldn't be asking. Is there a patch I flash with cwm that will allow me to download apps and take away that annoying your device isn't compatiable with this version error message on Google play store...

Play Store Update

I updated my Play Store and now I'm having problems downloading apps. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I've tried uninstalling updates, clear data and cache but nothing works
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda app-developers app
Yeah, the Play Store does update to the awesome features without warning
Did you try wiping the "new" Google Play Services application that has been installed to the system somehow?
It has a puzzle icon with the colours/colors used from the Google Play logo.
What ever you do, do NOT uninstall 'Google Play Services'.

How do I Detach app from market

Hi,
I detach an app from the market using Titanium backup pro, but after a few hours, Google play still attaches it.
Is it possible to rename the app or maybe a string somewhere such that it will still launch but Google play won't recognise it?
Thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Why would you want that ?
Is this to avoid licence verification checks? If so I don't think you will get much help here.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
What is the app i can check in google play settings for you .
jje
The upgrade to the app is a downgrade to me.that's why.
I already know how to avoid license verification checks, but I prefer to buy my apps and support the developer. I'm a successful business man and know the importance of having your products paid for, and not going for free.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Play store remove auto updates .
jje
Its an annoying problem this. Titanium can break market links but they always re-appear. Its annoying because the spp always appears in the "update all" list so you either have to update all then quickly cancel for the one app, or don't use update all.
Its an annoying oversight from Google. I've been hoping they address this properly for years.

get a root app uninstaller and uninstall playstore and install it again the latest version?
If you have adaway installed, disable it and reboot then open play store it should fixed. Even if you don't have adaway installed then install it, disable it, it should generate standard host files and that should fix play store. I've had this issue on Energy ROM while using VPN's.

Really weird problem and solution. I've been using Adaway for sometime and have never had issues with the play store even though I have several additional host sources added to my host file. I never had a problem before that either when I was using the "Mother of All Host files" adblocking host file I obtained from a thread here on XDA. Really weird and strange that's all I can say.
@Odysseus1962 it's not Adaway that causes this issue, its some other apps mostly VPN and market apps(mobogeine or 1mobile market etc) that adds a line in host file which causes play store to say "No connection" or can't connect to server while adding Google account. You may re-enable Adaway after disabling it should work with no issues.

Thanks for the clarification. I don't use VPN and the only other markets I use are Fdroid and Amazon, so I haven't run across this situation yet. But it's always good to know something like this should I ever have such an issue. At least now I would have an idea where to look to troubleshoot.
