I recently purchased a nexus 10 32gb variant and after booting it for the first time and setting it up i noticed that 3 stock apps are missing namely the play books, play magazine and play movies, i know this because i watched a lot of unboxing videos on youtube and they all got those apps out of the box, i also noticed that all the unboxing videos on youtube, after setting up their n10 the home screen widgets shows my library but mine is just an analog clock widget and i also notices lags and frame drops when im swiping between the pages of the home screen, is it normal to have this kind of unit?
Apps can be frozen. Use Titanium Backup to unfrozen (but it requires root).
You dont need TB to unfreeze them, just go to "Settings>Apps>All" and click the apps you need to unfreeze and click Enable.
Sounds used?

Are you in the US? Maybe those apps are disabled for tablets shipped outside the US where the services aren't available.

Im from the Philippines and i also have a nexus 7 and those missing aps are available on my nexus 7, i tried to reset it to factory settings and it still has those missing apps
I'm almost one hundred percent sure it's because you've shipped it abroad. Since Jellybean 4.1 Android performs some sort of region check and disables apps that aren't available in your country. This check is performed at every startup. I have a Nexus 7 and 10 where the Play Magazines, Play Music, and Google Wallet apps are disabled because I'm in Japan. As some other posters have stated these can be unfrozen using TitaniumBackup.
Interestingly enough though my Magazines, Music, and Wallet apps no longer disable. Maybe ever since the 4.2 Jellybean update Google only performs the check once? If that's the case try unfreezing those apps and restarting and report back letting us know if they stay unfrozen!

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.

I would also be very interested to find out how to do this.

Not at the moment. It does need to be addressed, and one would assume it will be. It's a complete mess. :thumbdown:

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.

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...
Does anyone know why my Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus hide the Google Play Apps (Books, Magazines, Movies)?
Both are running stock android, unrooted and everything but those apps are hidden even if I instal the apk it asks if i want to replace the app, says install complete, but nothing shows on the app drawer, or the widgets menu. At first I thought that it was because I'm outside the US but they aren't hidden on the nexus 7s on display in the store, so no I have no idea why that is, any suggestions?
It depends on your country
Music, Movies and books are restricted based on your country (draconian copyright laws). Only US gets all of them by default. If you are rooted, it would be easy to spoof your location to US using MarketEnabler app. That would bring some of these back.

Thanks, that's what I thought just wanted to make sure because the ones on display do have them, good thing there are alternative apps on the play store.
I've rooted my Nexus 7, and I wanted to know if anyone has a list of Apps that I can safely remove from it. For example, can I remove Google Currents, Google +, Messenger+, Play Magazines, Play Movies and TV, and Google Talk using SysApp Remover? I know having google apps installed instead of the Cellular Bloatware is a blessing, but I'd like to have this thing as clear as possible. Thanks ahead of time!
I removed all of them, nothing bad happend and i think nothing will happen to you, since those apps don't have any influence on your device system it should be fine.
In addition to the ones you listed you can safely remove: bubbles, downloads (you'll want a replacement file manager app), keychain, live wallpaper picker, phase beam, setup wizard, tags, email, email exchange, Google Korean keyboard, Google pinyin, wallet, if using a different launcher can also remove launcher. There's a few others you should be able to remove safely but I'm only listing ones I know for certain that won't affect functionality.

Thanks for the reply. I don't mind Phase and such, nor Live Wallpaper picker, but I definitely wanted to get rid of Currents and such. Thanks!
Root
If you are rooted you can remove what you want.....
Can somebody tell us the locations in the system folders where we can find the apps?
I´ve got the same "Problem". I´ve rooted my Nexus 7 and want to remove the unnecessary apps, e.g. Currents, Google+, Talk, Messenger, and so on.
I don´t want to erase some important or usefull things.
/system/app/
You can access it by allowing the 'up to root ' setting in es file exp
Cheers Danny
Don't forget to install a launcher before removing the stock launcher.

I'd suggest freezing apps first and make sure things run fine before you delete, just in case...

Excellent advice.....been there
On my new Nexus 7 2013 (Stock and locked) for some reason whenever I restart I loose both the Play Magazines and Play Books apps and have to go into the play store and enable them again.
I am overseas and they are not normally available here in NZ but I have no problems with this on my original Nexus 7 (Stock) or my Galaxy Nexus (Unlocked and rooted) where they stay enabled on reboot, and in the play store I can still go in and purchase magazines as per normal on the new nexus.
I have tried enabling while in a VPN and reloading my account and I have turned off auto updating but they still keep disappearing.
Anything books/mags downloaded are still there when I re-enable its just annoying to keep doing that.
Any ideas?
THanks
Im having the same issue but just with Play magazines, I also live overseas, I have no problems with my Nexus 4.

I have finally found a simple solution, reboot so that Play Magazines is disabled and use Astro Browser to go to the System/Apps/ folder (go to SDCard and press up a couple times) Find the Magazines .apk and click on it. Astro will install it properly and it will no longer auto disable once you restart. No Root/Unlocking needed!
Hope that helps anyone else with this
Thanks!! It seems to work now
I've read about amazon updates limiting what you can do on this tablet. If I bought a HD 10 now would I be able to use the following:
mx player
youtube
firefox
play store
Failing that, is there a reasonable/cheap 10 inch tablet which can do the above? My nexus 10's display is going yellow and the battery only lasts an hour or so!
If you install the Google Play Store without rooting the device and disabling the OTA updates you're going to have a struggle with keeping Google apps on the Fire. All apps that you've listed below will work on the Fire HD regardless of its root status. Just please root your device if you want to keep the apps installed by Google Play Store permanently.

By that you mean having the Play services/store/Chrome/whatever else installed as system apps, right? The only problem I have with certain Google apps on my Fire 7 2015, HD 8 2016, my mom's HD 8 2017 (all never rooted w/ OTA updates on) is that they may seem a little slow and glitchy at times. Almost every other app installed from the Play store not dependent on the Play services works just as well as it would anywhere else. And no, they don't randomly disappear.
If you're rooted then follow this guide that I wrote. You'll have no issues with the Google Play Store or any Google apps afterwards.
