I am really enjoying this Nexus 7 device, which I got yesterday!
I am learning how to use this and have a very basic question.
After I install an app, I might want to free up space and uninstall. However,
I still want to be able reinstall again in the future. What are the steps here?
I only did figured out how to delete the app.
all or most of your apps are store in your google cloud i.e. in google play store app. >my apps> (swipe right)> All apps

Or navigate to "manage apps" in settings.then select the app there.
To uninstall, you can also open up the app drawer, drag the app out, and uninstall will show up at the top as you are holding on to. the app.

The app that I deleted in Nexus 7 is still there on my device ready to be installed again. (in google play store) I assume that this is the google cloud.
If I never want this app again, then how do I get it off my list of apps on google play store?

I uninstalled a free app (eg. Angry Birds Rio) through the manage apps. If I want to install it again, I need to go through Google Play?
Reinstalling takes it from "my" cloud on to the device?
If it was a paid app, I would reinstall from google play too? It would not ask me to pay again since I paid for it once?

You only pay for apps once correct, unless you uninstalled it during the refund period.
But yes, in the Play Store under "All Apps" is a list of all apps you have ever downloaded and purchased so you can download again. Can't take them out that list I don't think. Only apps you have installed show in the "My Apps" list.

I had Getjar installed on my Elocity when I bought it. If I click on the Getjar icon, I get taken to a page on the Internet that no longer exists. How can I change Getjar so that when I click on it, I will get taken to the Getjar site on the Internet. Is Getjar an okay app, or is there a better one? (I don't believe I can delete the Getjar app from this Elocity A7.)
Also, would anyone know a good, free, weasther app that I could download that would show the weather (in my vicinity) on the Home screen (background) , similar to the time that appears there now?
amazon, google android market
use this to get android market working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431967
after you root the device you can install the amazon app store and buy the root explorer if you don't get it through other means. it's a useful app, buy it. you can find the getjar program in /system/app, where you drop off the google apps. be careful when you remove the default apps, try to force stop them before uninstalling. 2 of them can't be stopped(one is fring and i can't remember the other, i think it had a light blue icon) and after they are uninstalled will give an error that will keep popping up, just hard reset and continue.
for the weather app, just search 'weather widget' in either app store. keep in mind that app will be a battery drain.

Thank you. Sorry, but I am new at all of this (tablets, etc.) and don't know what you mean by "root," "drop off," "default apps," "force stop," "error popping up," etc. Really confusing and I do not want to make my grandson's A7 unstable, etc.
Just wondering since Google is updating the android market to a newer version that's all encompassing (music, apps, books, movies) called Google Play, if our rooted KF's are going to see the update OTA or if we'll need to sideload it? If sideloading will be the option, will it be the same as sideloading the current market .apk or will we need to employ new steps? Thx
Here is link to apk from rootzwiki: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20095-android-market-apk-google-play-3612/
Update: Got both my KF & Infuse 4G updated!

I dunno, but my market shows all the play stuff when I'm in it.

My Kindle Fire (rooted CM9) got the OTA update and it removed my market app and added the play app in its place, i didnt even realize it till a couple of minutes ago lol
I got the "upgrade" the last time i opened the Market. Hadn't heard anything about it prior, so I was kinda freaked out. I didn't know what to do for a second.
Thanks for this, as I got totally screwed by Google on the update. I clicked "what's this?", my web browser opened up, and afterwards my Market icon was gone, as well as the upgrade process. To re-install Market requires a hard reset! Freaking Google. I hate not being in control of my own damn phone.
Works great on the Inspire 4G, thanks
Go into the settings of your phone, then apps (all), then go to the market app.
Do a 'Clear Data' on the Market app.
Next time you start up your Market app you should have to agree to terms, and then the app will update to Google Play.

Nope, wasn't in the list! Totally gone. Good thing the .apk was there above, disguised as a .zip file. Installed fine.
So I was able to install the google play apk on my unrooted kindle fire and I can now browse the market, but the only thing is that it forces close when I try to download app updates or any new apps. Any ideas?
Installed Google Play on my Rooted Kindle fire, running Stock ROM, it had removed the 'MARKET' and added 'Play Store', i guess its the same thing? i dont know the difference? can anyone explain please?
Thanks
They basically just renamed the app from Market to Google Play. Does the same things as before. This is not the first time it has been updated.
On my Rezound phone, I renamed it back to Market and changed the Icon back to the old icon.
**Edit** Just did it to the KF now too. Screen cap of it below:

Same thing happens here, but I was able too purchase a free book and a free song with no problems at all I find this odd, why can I not install an app.

I'm stuck in this very same loop. I can do everything but download an app or let it try to update an app I have installed. So far, I'm stumped.

Try clearing the cache and data for the app and see if that will help. That's worked for me in the past. Hope this helps.

I did clean data, reload old 3.4.4 market, after couple of minutes it got updated to google play and now all works like it use to.
I'm rooted on 6.3
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.
Do I have to remove them from the My Apps (All) list? But even after doing so, they still show as Installed on web Play Store, even though I'd already uninstalled them.
Any ideas? It's a small thing, but really annoying lol.

are you sure they are installed?
it will list them but it does not mean they are installed.
if there's an x to the right then it's not installed,it's just a 'reminder' of what you have had on your phone previously.
press the x to have it removed from your list.

I'm referring to the Play store on the browser, not the app.
I've used the app play store to remove the apps from the list of My Apps by pressing the "X", but when I go back to the web play store on my browser, it still says Installed.

Sounds like the information is still stored locally, clear your browser cache.
I purchased an app off the market to use on my phone. Does anyone know a way to install a paid app on the nexus player running lolirock?
My phone isn't rooted so I can't pull the apk from my phone.... =/
Of course you can, use APK Share from KN Inc (Play Store).

Oh wow, that's awesome! I didn't realize I could get an apk of a purchased app without root.
Thanks brandogg!
Just trying to do my part. I have Google Drive on my ADT-1, I just use "share" on the KN app and it's available within a few seconds or so. Bear in mind there will still be a handful of apps that don't work.
Also, you're probably already aware of this, but in your web browser (even on Chrome on the Nexus Player or ADT-1) you can go to play.google.com/store and search for apps then choose which device to send it to from there. There are quite a few apps that are completely compatible with the Android TV devices, they just don't show up in the Play Store app (probably because they don't have all the appropriate icon packs, etc). Saves a little bit of time that way.
