I've sideloaded an app but it will still show on google play as installed, when I do a search for the app's name. How can I remove the app from google play while keeping it installed?

No you cannot, unless you repack the app with another package name and signature.

I can't provoke any reaction from voice search. It's listed in all apps on storage but not in app library in launcher. I have Google voice search in my apps on Google play store, but can't interact from there. No buttons to push.
Stock ands latest update. Language set to us English.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling it again from the Play Store interface.
Not being able to interact with it in play store sadly includes uninstalling.
Not even through the web version of Google play?
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda premium
Nope. Not there either.
Try clearing the data cache for Google Play and Voice Search. Settings -> Apps -> Google Play Store -> 'Clear Data' and then do the same for voice search. Then see if you can uninstall via google play.
Nope, didn't work. In fact I can't see an option to uninstall any of my apps from web interface.

Are you rooted with wp_remove.ko module? You could try deleting the voice search apk and then reinstalling google play.
If you're not, the only thing I can think of is to factory reset.
No. Not rooted. Will factory reset change pre-installed programs?

Yes it will delete any data they had.
Are you able to open voice search? Is it placed in app drawer for you?

If it's not listed in app list then it is not installed

Hi,
The app is installed. Im able to open it. But the app is not listed, because that is a functionality of the application.
As stated in play store
"Its completely hidden in every way, there will be no icon in your application list and no trace of this app ever being opened. Complete stealth!"
Now I dont want a phantom app running in my phone. So please help me remove the application

Instead we need to go to My apps in Play store. From there Im able to uninstall the application.
Thanks all.
Hi all,
Is there any app out there that could notify me (I don't even need to block, only be notified) when Google Play Services, Google Play Store and other silently autoupdatable Google apps are updated?
I recall to be able to do it using Xposed module X-Privacy... Now I'm on stock rooted Marshmallow and I wouldn't like to use Xposed...
Any app out there?
Thanks a lot.
No one cares ¿?
No one? Really?
I have this app which I originally downloaded from the play store but it quit working with an update so I downloaded the earlier version from APK mirror, I didn't think it would update since it wasn't registered to the play store but no matter what I do it decides it wants to update from the play store anyway.
Things I have tried
1 not allowing auto update (for the app) in google play
2 deleting app from my google account
3 detaching from market using titanium backup
I've run out of things to try so any help would be appreciated.
(The app is WifiN by Wako. B)

maybe u can enable do not auto update from setting or the app has a auto-update feature itself.

It's simple. Just re-sign the apk. It will no longer see it in the market for updates

I have a few apps that for one reason or another I refuse to update (most are due to MD) and it's annoying to have them in my update list.
An Android app I use was removed from the play store. I was never notified and the app is still installed and working. I have a couple questions. Is it possible to find out why the app was removed? Is it still safe to use the app? Why did Google remove it but not notify me and leave it installed?

Firstly, assuming that the app was removed, Google can remove it, basically for security reasons and has no obligation to, either, notify users, and less, remove it from your device.
The app also could decide to retire itself from the Play Store.
Search in the net, if some information, regard this app can be found.
App removed from Google Play Store - Google Play Help
If you are looking for an app that is no longer available on Google Play, the developer may have removed the app from Google Play or the app violated our Google Play Developer Program Policies
support.google.com
You can try to find and reach the developer and ask your questions.
Google can remove malicious apps from your device without notifying you. If the app is still installed probably it's safe to use it.
