I recently used TB to install a backup of an app, when it installed it was as a system app (no other option to convert to normal app) though the system app won't update via play store, I uninstalled using a root system app remover though when I install the app normally from the play store it says unable to instal (something to do with signature).
Is there a work around to get the app installed either as a system app or other, and that will update?

I use ES File Explorer v1.6.2.5 and hate the newer versions. It really bugs me to turn auto update off in the Play Store just for this one app that I don't want to update. I've tried the remove from market option in Titainium Backup and others but it keeps coming back after a cache clean or reboot. I've read if you change the signature inside the app this word work but after trying 4 differnet programs I can't seem to get one to work. Is there another way to do do this or perhaps some kind soul could resign the app for me? TIA for any and all help.
Uninstall the app from the play store. Install app using the apk file. Because it wasn't installed from the play store, it should never update as the playstore doesn't know about it.
Sent from my Nexus 7(2012) that has zero issues.
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.

I am using the Kitkat LG G2 OptimusRs Pro 2 Rom For LG G2 V4.1. After downloading Xposed Framework from G2 Xposed and install the latest version of the 2.5.1 xposed framework, the Google Play store will not download and install the apps for me.
I tried Clear Data and Clear Cache from Apps settings and still can't work.
I've had a similar problem, try ending all the processes of play store and the installs should happen.

How do you end all processes?
Is it under Settings > General > Apps > Running
And tap all Google Play Services and tap Stop?
I tried that but Google Play stuck at 100% download.
It works just now and now the problem still exists. hmmmm
Yes you stop the processes that way, have you tried restarting your phone?
Also under settings-wifi-advance settings, uncheck save battery by optimizing wifi option

How can I remove Youtube app from my note 3. I tried uninstalling it but can't do it.
regards
Maybe you can disable if not root. If root you can use app to remove system app

@srbutt as Safar stated, you cant completely remove system apps but can disable them from application settings but if your phone is rooted, download a good uninstaller from play store and uninstall Youtube App.

Without Root, you can only Disable it (And uninstall the updates). You can't uninstall the Youtube app without Root.
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 .
