Hi.
I am using applocker to lock google play so that you can't access google play without a password. However if I go on google play on the computer and click install from there the app still gets installed. How can I disable that so apps can't get installed from the computer either?
There really isn't. The best advise is not to give it to someone you can't trust. Because all it takes is 5 min and who ever it is will be able to install any app they want without even using the playstore
That's a bummer. I guess there's really not a way to make android kid friendly

Depending on the kid no, not really. As all it takes is 7 taps to open an option to install apps outside the playstore. I learned that Ling ago when I gave my boys their first one. I tried locking them down and did to a point but it took extreme measures like monitoring my home network traffic.
We can only protect them so much.

App locker only ask password for open play store app. locker can not restrict background operations of your play store. You can use inbuilt feature of parental control and set pin to install apps. It may stop installing apps from your computer.

Has anyone gotten google play store working? I tried following the steps from android cowboy but I get back to back errors for google services no matter what.
On a different note, is there a way to remove the ads/special offers for free?
Thanks,
Sean

Google play is a system apps so it's gonna need a rooted or modified rom with bootloader cracked. Same is needed to disable kindle offers.
So is there any good way of getting apps beyond side loading?

Only the second part is true. You can get the Google play store apk on any device, regardless of root or not.

Try this link.
Although it says Kindle Fire HD, ignore that. Ignore step 3. Also ignore anything that says about copying to /system/app.
Just install the apps in the order he has listed then install the "Vending.apk" (That is the Google Play Store). Please also note that you will most likely not be able to install apps from it. :/

Did you ever try 1mobile market?

One way to get a lot of Android apps onto Kindle, until we get root.

Seems to me like there should be some kind of app you can run on your rooted android device to pull the apk. Then install the full version on the Kindle via sideloading.

Better results
You'll get better results in the interim from installing:
a) 1MobileMarket
or
b) Aptoide
or
c) BlackMart Alpha (shh..)
Tinkering with Google Play Store components before we have root may be an exercise in futility.
The content of the link is quiet useful to me. Thank you for sharing. I decide to buy a licence. :good:
Anyone tried SNAPPEA TO passthru GooglePlay?
I saw a utility SnapPea that seems to allow a pass thru from a PC to Kindle Fire HDX for accessing GooglePlay. As I still have not ordered my HDX I was wondering if anyone has tried this.
Thanks in advance;

The SnapPea app that I just tested is a way to control your android device from a browser on your computer, similar to AirDroid. It does not allow access to Google Play for the Kindle. What it does do is help you to install an .apk file through the browser, but then we can do that already by allowing sideload anyway. So maybe you were thinking about something else?

Same here.. Just bought a Kindle Fire HD 2013 and tried every possible attempt described on many how-to to get it rooted for Google Play. Nothing worked. Device current version is 11.3.0.5.
Tried the side load as well described for HDX. Gmail app works but that's about it.
Anyone succeeded on this version?
Thanks

I basically got pretty much every app to work except for Hangouts and Play Store. This includes everything from Voice to Gmail to Map to Google Earth to Google Plus to whatever. The key for me was to start with base configs that Android Cowboy posted, but then add bunch of dependencies from android 4.2.2 and update with latest version of backed up apps. For example, I have had to install Google Play Services 3.2.66 first and then was able to update to 4.0.31 after reboot. That version was required for Youtube to work properly (i.e. allow account sign-in). Things still crash sometimes, but it's not a huge deal.
Main thing is Youtube, Music, Gmail and Calendar are all working more or less ok. Chrome signed into my google account, but its not pulling down settings (bookmarks, open tabs from other computers, etc...). Google Plus crashes sometimes but works. Hangouts is clearly missing a dependency of some sort. I installed most things I could thing of from default Android 4.2.2 CM10.1 apps package and from backing up my phone (galaxy s4), but it's still no go. It would be nice to get that going as well. Oh well, Skype can cover most things there.

Wanted to confirm that I also have Google Voice working on the HDX 7 (since I rarely see people mentioning it as a Google App). Interestingly, I also got Talkatone working on the HDX with my Google Voice number, even though the app's FAQ plainly says that Google Voice will NOT work with it. As a result, as long as I have wifi, I can now easily use my Google Voice number to make and receive calls.
When I download apps from other sources (1mobile) they don't show up in the multi tasking bar. Anyone know of a multitasking app to fix this?

I'm using the paid version of floating toucher to access recent apps.
To get apps to show up on the stock multi tasking bar you have to open them from the stock home launcher.

Correct. The multitasking feature on the HDX is basically just the Carousel, with exactly the same shortcuts in exactly the same order. The only difference is it's hidden on the edge of the screen until you pull it up. So, just as apps launched from alternative launchers won't show up on the Carousel, they also won't show up on the HDX multitasking bar.

I've been searching for 2 hours and found no solution! I need to delete Google Play Service completely from my phone or totally disable it! Even when I disable it, using phone "disable feature" Google play service and all it's apps are still eating my battery 45% (Running). The only way to kill it it's root my phone? I can't find way to contact Google or Android there is no email on the internet! Many people want to delete Google Play Services I've seen a lot of threads but found no solution! I don't need Google Play Services at all. Thx.

If you have the Play Store, you have Google Play Services.
And if you want to get completely get rid of both, you'll need root.

hy people,
I had the same problem with my note8. gt-n5110.. But, I did a workaround with the apk.
1- delete - wipe the user data after instal RR 7.1.2
2- using the website of apkpure I installed the firefox, this browse have no problem to install.
3- using firefox I used the site of APK DOWNLOADER.
4- APKDownloadr needs the app link from GooglePlayStore. Them, you go to the app in the googleplay and catch the link off this app.
5- insert the link in the apkdownloader prompt, Generate Download Link, then download apk.
That way, it´s not necessary the to use the Google Play Store.
But, I'm instead the GPS problem, this no works in my device. If somebody have a solution or workaround it´s so good for us. thanks
I know this happens probably on all other hardware as well, but on my Mega has become an almost daily matter.. is there a way to PERMANENTLY STOP, BLOCK AND FORBID the stupid Google Play Store app to keep updating itself to newer versions? Every new version is worse than the previous and no matter I Uninstall updates, they come right back again next time U open the app.. this is driving me crazy.. thanks for the input
just disable playstore app in application manager, then enable back when needed, all my device playstore were disabled, I enable it when needed.
Or find the setting in playstore app to disable auto update.

No. Turning off the app in application manager doesn't work because when I turn it on again to use the app, immediately the first thing that happens is the app updating itself to the newer version. And disabling the auto-uodatr only work for apps downloaded from the play store, NOT the pay store app itself.

Thanks for the feedback, yeah that's how it works, disable it for preventing auto update, when enable back it will self auto update, hate it so much
No other way. everytime I used the playstore app it will auto update and when I didn't want to use, I always uninstall updates and disable it.

So crazy.. there has got to be a way to hack the play store so it doesn't auto update itself.. I had such a version 3.x on my old Galaxy Tab 7 with gingerbread.. from Android Honeycomb up, it's all downhill.. I'm so over Android..

hope so, so I could get a paid game for free.
btw I have 3 devices, N8000, I9200 and N900. I9200 and N900 never login to app store so never get auto update, N8000 login because some of game app need to sign in to play store, once you sign in to app store you'll never get out, until I still couldn't find a way to logout.
I have already done it from my Mega. I think it should be work good.. i am wait now..

My phone is not rooted. I have S6 Edge running on 5.1.1
I have checked running apps on smart manager and end them but again many apps automatically open after sometime.
Is there no App to detect malware?
Remove every shady app you downloaded from Store and be careful next time you install stuff on your phone.
Usually games tend to show ads like that everywhere.
Source: dozens of Android phones that had those apps whose parents gave their kids to install games on.
vipul261 said:

Click to expand...

There is...
Install All-In-One Toolbox from play store then from within the app (or again from play store) install the Ad Detect plugin. It will scan every app on your device and report their capacity to display ads, by what means, and from what source. From this info, it's easy to decide what apps to delete. :good:
Hello,
I have a pixel XL updated to the android beta, and I wanted to donwload the Google news app. This app is not available in my country so I went to a repository and downloaded an APK. I installed it, and everything works as usual, the app is running smoothly, but when I close it and leave the phone idle for a few minutes the APP dissapears from the launcher. If I try to install it again the phone tells me that is already installed and I can update it, if I do that the app appears again on the launcher and I can use it again.
Can anyone help me with this? should I block permissions for Google Play services (I think that is what is messing with my apps)? or it is possible to install something to prevent this? maybe a modded apk?

Have you tried changing the launcher? Since you are using a beta, it might be a bug within the launcher.

Obviously the app is not available in your country through the play store. The play store has that function where it verifies apps which I think is called Play Protect. Of you opted in, it could be that.

That is because the location of you play store is still set to your country, you have to change it in options. I can't do that because I have credit in the play store and doing so will take it away
