How to Detach an App from the Playstore - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I've used an older version of Twitter for awhile, one that allows you to still link your contacts... But it always bothered me that it would still show up on my app list and would sometimes ask to be updated (the newer versions removed the contact sync)... But even with apps installed from Amazon or Samsung it would show up in the playstore list.
Titanium backup used to work for detaching apps from the old Android market but since it updated to playstore it was only temporary. After browsing all over the Web I found a permanent fix.
Go to the playstore and install an app called zip signer.
1)choose the apk for the app you want to remove
2)use the default settings
3)BAM! The new installed app will no longer be linked to the playstore
Twitter is no longer shown in the playstore as being on my phone and hasn't show back up for over a week.

Reinstall via the apps store
If you really deleted it from the phone you can go the the apps store and should be able to get from there or if you can't find there are a couple of websites that have available to download here is one:

This the developer section. Post in q&a.
uninstall from the app manager (menu>settings>applications>manage applications) then reinstall from the market.
if that doesn't work (it's 50/50), reboot inbetween the two steps.
adb push it in... into system/app
I just flashed CM6.1 with the latest GAPPS and look like I have the latest YT app.
I checked the Market and it's the same version nothing newer
Download Titanium Backup
Use that to uninstall your current Youtube app.
Find Youtube app from the market install that and your good to go.

There's a newer version today that is not covered in any of the GAPPS zip files. It won't install over top of the one the came in the zip.
titanium backup removal worked (be aware it will reboot into recovery mode to do it though), however when I go to install the new youtube app from the market I get a "package not signed correctly error"
edit: take that back, can't get titanium backup to actually remove the youtube app...

open Titanium Backup
select "Backup/Restore"
select the YouTube app from the list that it creates
select "Un-install!"
that should work
Most recent GAPPS from ROM manager has version 2.0.26 included.
The market version is 2.1.6.
2.1 includes:
-Post comments within the app
-New videos from subscriptions show up on the main screen
-Added "All" category in Browse
-Bugfixes and performance increases
When I try to install it I get the "Package file not signed correctly" error. Same error occurred on 6.0.

[Guide]Restore your apps without bleeding[1mobile market]

As some apps are not available or their updates sometimes not possible in the place I am currently living, China, I was looking for another third party app store and found 1mobile app. And just like some of you, traveling from one rom to another rom it was a pain to install over apps from app store in case roms got different build or even android versions, besides restoring apps by titanium backup causes some problems in some cases when I tried to restore my apps. After a while using and searching in 1mobile application I saw a very interesting feature which let me backup my apps by creating a folder called "onemobile_backup" without their data or messing around and restoring apps quickly.
So you can follow my tips if you are interested:
How to Backup
1- open 1mobile app and go to settings
2- go to end of settings option and hit Auto install and give root permission
3- and again hit Auto install and check if it enabled successfully
4- go to "Backup" and check every apps you like to backup
you can also update backup of any app, on "Backed Up tab": lower version in front of apps indicates that you have newer version available so just hit on small "x" behind the app (this would delete backed up app) then switch to "Available" tab and see that newer version is there, again tick and make a backup of new version.
How to Restore
If you already gave root permission skip 1,2,3.
1- open 1mobile app and go to settings
2- go to end of settings option and hit Auto install and give root permission
3- and again hit Auto install and check if it enabled successfully
4- go to "Backed Up" tab
5- tick every app you are going to restore
6- finally hit blue install button
7- wait for a little while and let the app restore your applications one by one
There maybe also similar apps doing the same but I found this app more convenient and quicker besides it's free and can update itself.
Get 1mobile market: View attachment onemobile.android-2.apk

No data. Only apps that's why I'm telling it won't cause any problem.

[Q] Unable to uninstall Wakelock Detector

TL;DR Google Play has only the Open option and no way to uninstall app
After updating my I337M from rooted NI2 Kit Kat to rooted OC4 Lollipop, I was unable to properly run Wakelock Detector. It was stock to stock so I didn't wipe factory settings.
Googled a suggestion to move the APK to /system/priv-app so I did that but still the same result.
Now when I want to try uninstall (so as to re-install) there is no option. Under Manage Apps the app isn't even listed. The APK is still under priv-app and I deleted it... still shows up in app drawer.
D'Oh! What else can I do to uninstall it properly?

i have the same problem
so ticked off. same here. even paid for the full version because sometimes that fixes issues like this. I can disable or freeze with titanium backup pro but can't uninstall. i think the problems happened after converting to system app. so now I have 2 frozen apps I want off my phone. On top of that the app stopped working after converting to system app. I get an error after the app loads. I emailed the developer and am waiting to hear back.
This days the application App2SD is able correct install Wakelock Detector as private , and it is able to uninstall it if it was installed as private .
