[Q] Play Store - My Apps - List Only Purchased? - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I apologize in advance if this has been discussed before, I couldn't find it...
Is it possible to list only my purchased apps in the Play Store under my apps. I am not a fan of the way that "My Apps - All" lists every app I have ever downloaded so I have to scroll forever to find the paid apps I actually want to re-install after a ROM re-install.

Why not just backup those paid apps and save them in different location then just reinstall them after new ROM installed?

I guess I could do a restore through Titanium Backup. I don't have any good reason, I just like to re-install apps from the market.

As far as I know there is know way to do this.
I also find it a real pain in the neck as my kids have installed hundreds of games so I have to to scroll down for ages to find my purchased apps.
I wish there was a way to delete things from "My Apps" but people have been complaining about this for months but Google has never responded to this.

I use appbrain. It lets you make custom lists to only show the apps you want. You can install from appbrain OR it can send you directly to the market. It makes installing the apps you want simple and easy.

Are purchased apps from appstore affected by reflashing?

If I root & reflash my CDMA Hero to 2.x, will I have any problems reinstalling the apps I've purchased through AppStore, or (god forbid) is it as easy as, "relaunch Appstore after reflashing, log in, then go to the list of installed apps & just tell it to download & reinstall them?"
You can download your purchased apps again and again regardless of how many times you flash or how many times you change your phone.
To a certain degree but not always. I just flashed my Droid from 2.0.1 to the Nexus One 2.1 ROM and I have a few apps that I purchased that will no longer show in the market like Pure Calendar and PicSay Pro. After contacting the developers I was told that the apps feature "Google Copy Protection" and basically Google does not recognize the ROM I am using.

Is there any way to find out (before buying) whether or not an app is protected?

I don't know. To be honest I don't even know how to check the apps I already have for protection, other than the fact they arent available im the market anymore.

No, but when you have root you can pull /data/app-private where protected apps are stored...
what if you install them to your SD card using apps2sd; I think they will remain after reflashing. it happened to me a while ago.

they probably arent showing up on the nexus 2.1 dump because they do not support 2.1...if you reflash back to stock they should show up again

Not showing all my Apps in the New Android Market

Trying to see if this is just me or other people experiencing the same issue. Android Market updated last wk and now only the apps that I have purchased are showing up under my apps. Under the help section they say this is a known problem. There are certain times when I go into the market and click on my apps and everything shows up but thats like 1/10 times. Anyone experiencing the same issue?
BTW I'm running CM7 nightly on build 08052011

Thanks for the input but I've never heard of "batch relink". Can you describe it more in depth? To clarify all my apps are still on my phone. If I search for the app by name it shows as being installed on my phone, just not under MY Apps.
Saw something called Market Doctor in Ti Backup that sounds like what you are talking about but after that ran it said it restore link for 6 of my apps but still same result only paid apps showing under My Apps.

sorry its called "attach to the market"
try it with a single app if you want, find one thats not linked currently. open titanium go to backup/restore tab & long press on the app you want. you should have an option to attach to market.
let us know if that helps
but yea market doctor might be what does them batch style.. i dunno if a reboot might help after applying
When I long press anyone of the apps that isn't showing up there is a bunch of opts but i don't see attach only one I get is detach from market. Which makes me believe it is linked correctly. Tried rebooting, same issue. Maybe this is a issue on their end since some times all my apps does show up. Just weird if no one else is experiencing this.
In TB, if you hit menu, more you should see the market doctor. If that doesn't work, delete the data for the market. I had to do that to fix mine.

Went to Ti Backup selected Market. Wiped data. Ran the Market. It asked for me to accept to the terms which I did. Same result only paid apps are showing up in My Apps.

This has been a problem with the Market for a while for me. You should be able to see all your apps, paid and free, on the Market website (https://market.android.com). I've never done a "market repair" before.
My issue is that certain apps are just plain no longer showing in the market. such as Better keyboard 8. I love this keyboard, bought the pro version and have a couple of favorite skins for it. now it dont show up in the market.
I was finally able to resolve my issue, here is what I did. Using Ti Backup I selected the Market and restored a older version. The version i had backed up was 2.x I havent done a back up in a while. After the Market was restored to the older version I ran the app. It ask me to accept the term, after i click ok the app forced closed and it automatically downloaded a update. After a few mins I clicked on the Market again and it once again ask me to accept to the term but this time it was the new Market. All my apps are in the My App section. Thanks for everyone for their advise and input. With out the ideas that was tossed out there I wouldnt know where to start or what to try.
Update:
Same thing again only purchased apps are showing in My Apps. I can do the same thing over again and all my apps will show up but this seems to be a temporary fix. Any other suggestions?

App to *possibly* fix the blank my apps list issue

Hi all,
I have a Bell Atrix and I always have the blank my apps list issue with any Blur based Gingerbread ROMs. I found that removing the Preset app fixed my problem. So I put a small app together to scan the market database to compare the list of market recognised installed apps to the available apps in the market. Users can then remove apps and the market association in the market database.
If possible, can I please have someone to help me test this app? Also, I'd imagine this app should work with any gingerbread running phones with the same problem.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kstudio.marketfixer
Steps:
1) nandroid backup then start the app
2) Click on Load Market Data (and wait for it to finish)
3) If the app found anything, it will be added to the list
4) Select apps from the list and click on "Del Checked Entry" to delete them
5) Uninstall window will show for the selected apps, click on Uninstall
6) Open the market again, wait a bit and see if the list shows.
Thanks!!
Update1:
I found that Android Market, when starting from scratch (after deleting all the app data), downloads a list of all the apps you have ever associated to your account. If you have ever used TiBu (or the like) to associate apps you shouldn't have associated to the market, and still have the app installed, you will start to have the market problem after wipe.
Update2:
I believe the version 3.5.15 market has made this app obsolete. You can find the download link in the post below
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-google-play-store-apk-3-5-15/
Update3:
Uploaded version 2.0.0, for anyone still wanting to remove market links in the new market.

Worked as stated. Nice to have this feature back. Thank you for your work and sharing.
Glad to hear this is working! cheers!
Ken218, thank you for this app.
After I ran "Load market data," a bunch of apps (meaning way more than I'd like to count) showed in the list, but nothing was checked.
Expected?
If so, how do I identify troublemakers from the list?
This is on a Sprint Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch, running Calkulin's ROM, v2.8.1.
Thank you again.
Holy s***! This works! Thank you!!
There were three apps found, none were checked, so checked them and uninstalled them, market working perfect now! You rock!
Oh and this works on stock ICS 4.0.2 (galaxy nexus gsm) so you can add this to your compatibility list.
Need to sticky this in every device forum.
Thanks again!!
holy sheep **** you are a mad genius this worked for me i have a rooted unlocked motorola photon running rocko rom joker kernel and a fistful of tweaks and my apps are listed again in the market major thanks for this
you will need to manually check every app... I will add a "select all" to the list when I update the app.
Genius........that works perfect on ICS 4.0.3 rooted Iconia 500.
I then reinstall the delete apps.
Thank you so much
I had com.motorola.contacts.preloaded as faulty app. Maybe market acts sensitively when using AT&T-Rom on INT'L Atrix in non-default locale.
Wow, thank you very much. I had tried everything before this to fix this problem, and had given up on seeing it working again.
Well done.
Fixed on my Galaxy SII

On more thing. Is there any way to get the market to stop showing apps from Amazon's AppStore as "Purchased" in the market? There's a few I've gotten from the Free App of the Day that I'd like to purchase on the Android Market but am unable to because it says "Install" instead of "Purchase". When I go to install them it says something like "Cannot install because you haven't purchased it." Thanks again!

That doesn't work. It registers the app as purchased. Same thing happens with cracked apps. If you installed one and upgraded to the latest market, you'll never be able to purchase the app again off the android market.

There is a workaround, but it involves some messing around:
1) Uninstall targetted app
2) Freeze market auto-upater
3) Downgrade your market to 2.2.6, run market
4) search for chosen app (Don't go to my apps, that doesn't seem to work anymore)
5) buy app
6) restore new market...
7) ???????
8) Profit!
Ken you should add some cache feature.
I've deleted apps one by one to find the trobulemaker, but after every uninstall I've had to rescan again - with <10 apps it doesn't take too much time, but if search results can be stored within MarketFixer it'd speed up the whole process
EDIT: Thank You very much, market fixed (at least for a while )

There are a lot of things in my list which are part of my ROM (Keis Air, for example).
There are also many Android Market apps for which a Market Search turns up no hits (Super Froggy and Twidroyd Pro). I guess these apps have been retired....?
At any rate there are probably 4 dozen things in my scanned list, and I'm nervous about whacking them. Any advice, sir?

I'd assume you used TiBu to fix market link? Because components formed part of the ROM (Certificate Installer, Cell broadcast, etc) won't be attached to the market.
I'd say wipe the market and let it rebuild its database first (by starting the market app and let it sync/download all the things automatically).
Like you said, it is possible that some of the apps you have are retired. Also, during my tests, I found some apps where the developer decided to change the package name (xe currency) so the market became broken (doesn't cause the blank market problem though).
In the case of Atrix (and possibly other motorola devices), removing "Preset" is all its needed to fix the market.

[Q] Is there any way to remove old apps from showing in the Play store

So, over the year(s), I have installed, tried, uninstalled, hundreds of android apps on multiple devices.
So I got my new Nexus 7 and wanted to browse through my list of apps in Google Play. Problem is that there are too many listed there. If you scroll through (I guess it's most recent first) it takes dozens of scrolls to get to the end.
And if I find a few things I want down near the end of the list, once you install one, the list goes back to the begginning!
I'd like to be able to remove from the Play Store listing, those 100 or so apps that I know I will never be reinstalling.
Also, the web version of the play store, only shows the first 180 or so, I can't even get to those labled P through Z!
Search yielded little so I turn to you for help.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I'd like to know exactly the same thing. So far not found anything.

Permanently removing uninstalled apps
At this time, there is no way to permanently delete or remove apps from the Google Play website (My Orders/My Android Apps) or from the Google Play Store app (My Apps) that you’ve previously downloaded but have since uninstalled.
Too lazy to type lol...that was too easy but u sure knocked it out the park
Browse the play store in landscape so you don't have the list reset every time.
I wish they would at least let you filter your old apps... I'm much more interested in seeing the apps that I actually paid for lol.

Anyone wanting to see paid apps only, you need to install this modified play store APK from Modaco.

:good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
Just in case anyone is interested...
I've been a Springpad user for a while, and use the 'spring it' feature from the Play store app to create lists - purchased apps, essential apps, etc. It's really helped with organisation. I just click the saved link from Springpad, and I'm sent straight to the relevant Play store entry.
Yeah, so it's a bit of a dirty fix, but it suits me until Google get the Play store niggles sorted. Guessing it will work with other task/organisation apps, but haven't tried...

It's just a personal preference because its easier to install all apps when I have them all in one folder, rather then always searching for them on the play store.
Got used to it because I had my phone a lot of time on service, and it was frustrating to always install everything again and again.

The ones that aren't installing are paid for apps bud, how'd you get them then? Too coincidental that the paid apps won't install, but the free ones will...
If you paid for them from the Play Store, you can hit the little magnifying glass and type in the first 3-4 letters, and it'll find the app right away, takes seconds to do. You can also log into your Google account and search/install that way.
If you got these apps without paying for them, you won't find help here for that.

I dont wanna search for all of them. Because I don't have a list in my head for which apps do I use.
I asked for help. I BOUGHT The tab. I bought most of the apps. Yes not all of them. What else do you want?
I didn't get any help, just atacks on WHY did I do it this way and not the other way. My grandma doesn't use the walking sticks even if her life would be better with them. It's a personal preference It doesn't matter why she wont use the sticks even if I cut off her legs.
If I'll ask what are those 4 gold dots on the side of the tab, I wanna know what. Not explain to you why would I use them and why not!
Now please, can we get to the point of the question?

Wow, so you don't want to just TRY going to the Play Store to install one of these paid for apps to see (called troubleshooting) if it'll install? Google keeps a list of everything you installed, Settings - My Apps - swipe over to All, there's your list.
I know you bought the tablet, no one questioned that. You are asking how to install an app that you have to pay for but you got it via another means (pirated app), and it won't install...again, you won't find help for that here. You're getting asked questions which helps with trying to figure out the root of the problem, and your grandma reference is just disturbing and irrelevant.
Paid for apps don't get installed in /system like system apps are, so the question is relevant.
So here's your answer: Go to the Play Store, search for ONE of the paid apps you are having trouble installing, and TRY installing it from there. Oh yeah, and in Android 4.2 there is more built in security for pirated app detection, so like I've said before, if they are apps that cost money and you didn't purchase each of those apps, you won't be able to install them.

Thanks. That's all that I needed.
Furthermore, have you enabled "Unknown Sources" in Settings to sideload apps like you are trying to do? If not, that could be your problem as well. It could also be the the version of the apps you are trying to sideload are old and aren't supported in Android 4.x, hence the suggestion to try installing from the Play Store.
With Android 4.2 sideloaded apps are scanned, please review: this. It gives you information about what you are trying to do, and the "why" aspect of it.
So before you fly off the handle again with odd no-legged grandma references, try the above mention suggestions to see what happens. Are you rooted, or is your N7 stock?

Well U might be right about the apps being not 4.2 supported. Because some of them are old.
I'm not rooted, just stock.
Some apps are not compatible with certain devices.
It doesn't matter whether a user paid for them or not. They paid for the app. and it installed on the device they had at the time, and it worked. Nowhere is it written, that a dev has to support any devices a person buys in the future.
The app dev's, have no obligation to program the app to work on everybody;s devices, regardless whether you paid for it or not. This is the nature of programming development.
Nowhere is it said that if you buy a new device, the app you purchased last year is compatible. If somebody can prove me wrong, please tell me.
Yes, you may be able to sideload the app. Another way is to make a build.prop edit to make it compatible. This is OK, and you are welcome to do so.
What is not acceptable, is to ask for paid apk's or discuss anything related to software piracy. This is against XDA rules, and also, against the law in most countries.

Some apps are not compatible with certain devices.
It doesn't matter whether a user paid for them or not. They paid for the app. and it installed on the device they had at the time, and it worked. Nowhere is it written, that a dev has to support any devices a person buys in the future.
The app dev's, have no obligation to program the app to work on everybody;s devices, regardless whether you paid for it or not. This is the nature of programming development.

Your weak rationalization aside, it is still piracy.

Wow, so you don't want to just TRY going to the Play Store to install one of these paid for apps to see (called troubleshooting) if it'll install? Google keeps a list of everything you installed, Settings - My Apps - swipe over to All, there's your list.
I know you bought the tablet, no one questioned that. You are asking how to install an app that you have to pay for but you got it via another means (pirated app), and it won't install...again, you won't find help for that here. You're getting asked questions which helps with trying to figure out the root of the problem, and your grandma reference is just disturbing and irrelevant.
Paid for apps don't get installed in /system like system apps are, so the question is relevant.
So here's your answer: Go to the Play Store, search for ONE of the paid apps you are having trouble installing, and TRY installing it from there. Oh yeah, and in Android 4.2 there is more built in security for pirated app detection, so like I've said before, if they are apps that cost money and you didn't purchase each of those apps, you won't be able to install them.
