Hey all! I tend to use my computer a lot for finding/installing Android apps on my various devices, but my new Samsung Chromebook Plus always automatically opens Play Store links in the app. Does anyone know how I can disable that and get back to using the Play web Store?
Thanks!
In case anyone else is curious, the only workaround I've found is Alt+clicking a link and choosing Open in New Tab. Ctrl+Click will still open in the Play Store app.
this used to work. but not anymore?
any other suggestions ?
To change the "Open by Default" setting for the Play Store app:
Right-click or long press on the Play Store icon in the App Launcher, click "App info", then "Open by default", then change "Open supported links" to "Don't open in this app".

So I use the Amazon app store and GetJar for free 'paid' apps. Some of these apps are showing up in "My Library" on my Google Android Market account. Is there a way to remove them from the Android Market account?
One recent problem is Wave Launcher which used to be free on GetJar. I don't see it listed anymore on GetJar and I can't even buy it from the Android Market since it thinks it's already purchased (but declines the 'install' saying it's not purchased). A 'delete' button like in the Amazon app store library would solve all of this...
Short of changing google accounts, I don't see any options on how to fix this. Anyone have any ideas? The problem is on my market library, not my phone (I know how to remove market links, etc.). Thanks.
I to have this problem its very annoying their has to be a way to clean it up.
I actually used the 'report' app function on the google market and got a reply back. They have "forwarded your case to a specialist to begin working to resolve your issue as soon as possible". We'll see what comes of it. Amazon's app store has a simple delete button in that library. It doesn't seem like that would be too hard to implement.
did you ever get a reply for this?
would love to be able to remove all the apps i just simply try for the sake of testing and i want them gone.....
listen to your users G!
I believe Titanium Backup can do this if you are rooted.

You can "fix" market links with it by long pressing on the app in question.

On the website I don't see an option, but it is possible on your phone.
I am not sure if all versions of the play store have this option (I am using Jelly Bean 4.1.2):
When I open the play store on my phone I can remove previous installed apps from the list.
Go to: Play Store > My Apps > All
There you can remove an app by tapping the Ø icon

Yeahp. It works.
I deleted some yesterday on my mobile, but they were still on my web "Other apps in my library".
Today, I deleted some again and reloaded the webpage. They disappeared.
Thanks for the tip.
Ok, maybe it needs some time to sync. Great it works!

I have this issue as well--phone app has no provision for deleting the apps, on JB ROM.
Hi, for starters i'd like to say the only reason i'm posting here is 'cause I can't post on Development, so my apologies in advance.
But the problem is: i'm using this rom "ROM MIRACLE Edition V2" but PLAY STORE won't download some apps, either from my phone or from pc, in fact pc isn't syncing apps acquired in google play.
Any thoughts?
I had that problem too.
I had that problem too. You should go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications.
Then, go to "All" tab and find "Google Play Store" app. Press Force stop. Then, you should clear data and clear cache. Reboot your phone.
Open "Google Play Store" again, and finally the application should work normally.

thanks mate. but i actually made it around by installing the non-mod version of play store!
Hello xda world,
I have a personal android device that I have joined to my companies network and as part of the MDM policy the google play store gets hidden. Company is 60k+ employees, so there's no hope of getting an exception.
So far I've managed to side load about 90% of the applications I need via android drawer but this only works for free apps, I can't load any of the apps I've purchased from the Play store without the play app.
I have tried to sideload the play store, and it seems to install fine, but doesn't show anywhere in the app drawer, or under the app information in the settings menu.
I've also tried to go to play.google.com to install via web, but the device in question isn't listed as an available target for install (presumably because I've never logged into play from it).
I have read-only filesystem access to the device, is the a way to manually execute the binary that launches the play store? If so, does anyone know where it's located? I checked /system/apps/ and it's not there.
Any other ideas on how I can unhide or launch the play store app so I can get my purchased apps loaded back onto my device?
If you can't see the Play Store in the app drawer, it isn't installed properly. If you wish to try, install Terminal Emulator and run this command (to open the Play Store):
Code:
am start -n com.android.vending/.AssetBrowserActivity
Hi guys,
I was wondering if it is possible to add an app which is not listed after choosing a file i wanna open. I want to open a video with videoshop to edit it, because the in-app gallery is awful. It just shows all videos not sorted by name or date or folder so i would like to add videoshop to optional apps for opening videos from my normal gallery.
On a windows pc it's easy by rightclick and ''open file aa'' and then you have suggested apps and then the option to browse the pc for other apps. There must be a way to do that on miui too
Try installing this app.
It worked for me on a smarthone with kitkat, not sure if it's working with lollipop.
Thanks but this app doesn't solve my problem. I tried it and it only resets the default app after having chosen a default app before.
But I want to add an app to the offered apps to open it. I don't have chosen a default app to open videos. And when i click on a video and get asked, with which app i would like to open it then the app i want to use is not listed. I simply want to be a able to choose another app.
Isn't there any option, app or xposed module to do it?
Try "Amaze File Manager" from the Play Store.

Navigate to the file you want to open, and tap on it. You will get your options there.
I am considering buying a Samsung Chromebook 3 which based on the following link can support Android apps. Now, the issue is that it says that one must do a file system or profile migration in order to support the apps. However, I cannot find any information on how to do this migration. Google has instructions for Education and Enterprise customers but nothing for regular consumer.
How do I do this? I, of course, Googled how to do this and I end up with nothing. I need to know how I can install the Google Play store and run Android apps. I have instructions on how to install Google Play but nothing on the migration that according to Google is required.
Please help!
I have a Chromebook 3 and am running Android apps with no issue. It's fairly simple to do and now only requires the steps here: https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/get-android-apps-on-your-chromebook in a nutshell, this simply involves first open settings -> select about > under or around the "check for updates" button, click the "More info" link. An option will be presented to change to the beta channel. Select that and wait for the update to download and install (in my experience, the beta channel is way better than the stable channel anyway). After you restart, go right back to Settings, and scroll down until you see the checkbox for enabling the Google Play Store. Agree and sign in using your Google account. That's it. I've enjoyed using many Play Store apps seamlessly on the Samsung Chromebook 3.
Solution found
After half an hour on Google chat and Asus I got an answer. Very simple.
1) Click on your user picture in the lower right
2) Click the Settings cog
3) Scroll down to the easily missed "google play store" section. It's the seventh section down on mine and is only a single line section.
4) Click on "turn on"
Then just wait for it to do it's thing. It will take a minute or two and then will launch the Google Play Store app. Mine came up and said it wasn't responding but I clicked on "wait" and it popped up about 5 seconds later. I was able to install 2 "android" apps right off the bat. Super easy and quick. I hope this helps others searching for this answer.
Incidentally...if you don't have a touch screen Chromebook it seems that the arrow keys do your swyping for you in android apps. Kind of counter-intuitive though...I had to use the right arrow to "swype" LEFT. But it wasn't too difficult to figure out.
