Hello!
Recently Google has removed a lot of Snapchat apps from the play store, including Supersnap which I use.
I am switching from my LG G2 to Xperia Z1 and would like to transfer the app, but neither phones are rooted and I can't download the app from the play store anymore despite having purchased it.
The APK is locked to ES and Astro won't back it up, can I pull it via ADB or do I need root for that?
If anyone else has the app, could they maybe back it up for me and send me the APK until I can get a hold of the dev?
Or does anyone else know of a good snapchat app that lets you send pictures from your gallery, keep and download retrieved snaps?

I found it hard to remember all the purchased apps that I needed to install after installing the leaked ICS. The Play Store no longer has that nice Purchased list. Is there a way to get it back?
Not sure about getting it back, but I do know that if you sign into Play in a web browser, you'll be able to access your app download history including both free and purchased apps. From there you could install them again. Hopefully that helps.
I have got a new phone, and I want to transfer one app in particular over from my old one. One problem: The app is a paid one, and its not longer in the play store.
Can anyone help?
Or possibly suggest an app that allows to browse the web, and download most any type of video found, all while having a handy popup blocker.
Before, I tried finding the .apk file and just transferring it and installing but it didnt work fully.
Here's what happened: The app comes in 2 parts, the main app and "plugins" for the app that allow it to download more video formats. Like i thnk .mp4 is supported by main app but .flv is supported by paid plugin (.99 cents)
The said plugin refused to work when just transferred over as an apk file. It probably somehow knew that it was not "paid" for a second time. I'd LOVE to pay for it, but its not in the app store.
So is there any way to scrub it from one phone, and transfer the "licence" (or w/e it is it uses to verify the phone its on) to the new phone?
I have heard of an app called Titanium Backup. Can that app possibly help me? If so, I heard it requires root, which I currently dont have. Can some one tell me how to root my phone?
Its Motorola MB860, Android Version 2.3.6
Try to backup the APP with TiBU and transfer the TiBU backup.
Update Play Store if You don't have latest. When You have old Play Store your paid app wont show on the list.

I have the same phone, may I ask why aren't the GAPPs enough? I don't think the LG power x comes with LG Stock apps. I'm other words. Google Photos, Google Chrome are the stock apps.

Nope Im that type of person who prefers 2 browsers
Plus I just want the gallery so I can simply view my pictures and video player to watch my downloaded shows or movies. I dont have the music player app so I cant do much with my music like do a playlist, use the inapp equaliser and etc. I must have the apps that didnt come with my phone but with mostly every other android lg device

Hello. Rooted phone is required for this
The primary step would be to find a lg firmware that has the same Android version as your phone and which has those apps which u require. Then extract that firmware, copy the apks u need (There maybe .odex files or some lib files too. If so then copy the entire app folder. U can skip .odex files by picking up a deodexed rom of another lg phone as it will have only .apk files) from the firmware and copy to the root of your phone. For example if u pulled an apk from "/system/app" folder then u must copy that apk into the same location on your phone and set the permission as rw-r-r .If lib files are present then set the same permissions. Reboot phone and open the app. It would be installed and should be in app drawer. If u get force close notifications then u need to have logcat knowledge for debugging it.
Good luck

i have a few apps which have updates in google play store.
on my tablet which is rooted i can use Titanium Backup to detach it from the store but it re-attaches it a few hours later.
i'm looking for a permanent way to keep it detached and never be in the update list.
also have the same thing for an app on my Samsung Note 9 which i want to stay on an old version and never update but as the Note 9 is not rooted i see a problem there. its Samsung Health (S-health) and its linked to my watch and syncs online so i cant use a resigned version as that breaks the online link.
as my tablet is rooted i have full access so can edit or delete anything. ive tried renaming a few files hoping they would break the google play store link but its still there.
can i just delete a file to remove it from google play store? which file? where?
thanks

It's not that hard, but you will need some tools. Basically you need to look up how to decompile and recompile apps. Then change the package name in the Android Manifest and then resign the app.
I use regular apktool.jar, but you could try something like apk multi tool. Then to resign the app, Venkat Kamesh has an excellent signing tool for free download.
Once the app name is changed and it is resigned it will no longer be connected to the play store. It also could be illegal, but I think you'll be okay as long as they're for personal use and you're not redistributing them.

I like bbc whether apk. A few days ago they blocked this app and without opening account and login in you can't use this apk. Ridiculous. I found on the web older version of the apk without any restrictions. Just works as it should. But now google play store wants to update it to the newest version with restrictions. Is there any solution to get rid of apk from google play store but keep still the old one in the phone?
