Just curious...I used app extractor, sent it to Google drive and installed it...shows up in side loader app (chainfires) and shows quite a few more apps than the limited playstore access the nexus player has built in. Haven't checked to see if it shows led our more apps than the web version does. Yet, was just excited it even worked
So glad this was moved to the "where threads go to die forum" X__x
I'll keep any future ideas for development of the product to myself.
Which version did you use?
How positive... Patience is a virtue.
Yeah I did this. Make sure you backup your original play store first. I thought it wood install side by side the other play store just like the YouTube app does. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the normal android tv play store back. Anyone have a titanium backup of it I could try? So far side loading the apk into the system/app folder gets it to show up, but when I launch it out just goes back to home screen.

It's all over XDA but not here in our Iconia area yet. So I thought that I would post it here. If you try to get the app from the A500 it will give you an incompatible error. What you have to do is goto your pc and get the app from the Amazon Appstore then goto your "My Apps" in the Amazon app on your tablet. Find the app and click install. It may give you the error a few times but eventually it will download and install. Just keep trying.
At least it worked for me. Hope you guys have as much luck.
Actually what I did is this, I have a Android Phone which also has the Amazon App store installed with my same amazon account login (Plant's VS Zombies on both devices = WIN! ) So I installed it on my phone first, then on the tablet I hit menu and navigated to my apps, and then tapped install from my list of all apps and it downloaded and installed and WORKS without a hitch. I don't quite understand why this game was said to not work for tablets when it seems just as tablet friendly than Plants VS Zombies. They both don't multitask well as they always need to load back up the minute you do something else, even if its tapping on a notification in the bar. Even if you don't navigate to what the notification was showing you, the game loads back up. Ah well, hopefully they will continue to make these more Android friendly.

Thats Exactly how I Did it.
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.

: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...
Hi my first thread I was excited. I have been using aptoide for installing virtually anything without any difficulties and whilst browsing it informed me there was an upgrade for Amazon store, of course I clicked it, I have updates blocked in the router by the way.
Well I didn't expect much , Amazon store runs for about 20 seconds and closes so far, shame.
I opened my main menu, closing the fire menu Low and Behold all my apps now appear in the main app menu . I have powered off and on, they are still there. Here is the screen shots, excuse the text I'm on my phone . Enjoy

This is a great post.
I really want this but do not want to loose my root access or want any funky issues. I think my questions will put a lot of user concerned to rest.
I hope someone brave enough who has rooted there AFTV would try your approach and see if it works. I would love it if that person can confirm the following
1) Was your AFTV rooted before you click on the AmazonApp and updated?
2) did you block OTP updates using adb or just thru router?
3) what firmware are you currently running? Is amazon stock firmware or pre-rooted firmrware?
4) Did you try the boot into CWM using Rbox boot menu and try to reboot system thru CWM for normal amazon boot?
Thank you
Doesn't this break the Amazon apps?

Hi I did as stated have Amazon store open. With my details etc I clicked through to log-in all fine the store opened and can be opened but closes after a short period. I did not use the store before presuming it unavailable and just a service I don't have anything paid on the device and probably never will being an ex-pat. Just running xbmc with smart DNS all fine here Thx

it is fine if u dont use prime video or any of that but if u do it breaks things
It doesn't really break anything, and there's a simple solution to get things working as they should, simply uninstall and things are instantly back to working. What I have always done is keep the app store apk so that I can uninstall when I need to install amazon apps, then reinstall when I am done.
Reporting back
Seems as reported I jumped the gun, appstore does indeed get broken. As a helper you can use Es file manager, Go into Library and app. You will find the apk there , long hold to highlight then backup / uninstall it will ask you if you would like the factory default apk. All done and returned along with the backup for reinstallation . hope this helps

I have got my AFTV yesterday, I have blocked the amazon urls in my rooter and used opendns as well but still Firetv is updated to the latest version which is 51.1.4.2 I think which is unrootable. Any way I have tried OP's option of getting the aptoide and updating the amazon appstore, which broke the the appstore but all the apps appeared in the apps as OP showed in the image without doing any llama thing etc. but as in previous post I have repaired the amazon appstore and all the view is back to normal for the apps screen. So, I am thinking to update appstore again and restore my apps view which is better for me as a starter but I have to think of a way to get the appstore working for some apps. hope my exercise will someone and if anyone have solution for my problem, please reply. Thanks.
So I've got root on my Kindle now, but I can't figure out how to get stock play store apps to replace kindle apps with. I would rather have the play store version of the Audible app for example, as I think the interface is better. But even though I've removed the folder from the system apps, there's still a greyed out icon and it won't let me install the play store app. Any help?

As of now I don't believe anyone's figured it out. The two versions just don't play nice with each other.
Thanks, that's what I figured.
Hello,
Hope I am posting in the right place. This is the one game I wanted to get going on switch android. Has anyone got this game to run? I validated all the files and it loads up but gets stuck at the kotor logo screen.
Any ideas to get it working or does anyone know why it wouldnt work? So far Ive tried GLtools to spoof gpu/cpu in an attempt to get it to maybe work but no luck there either.
Thanks

Great ideas, both appear to come installed with the 8.1 switch android and I made sure they are up to date. Seems to be another problem getting it working.
Didn't tested but my hint is try using gltools to spoof another hardware to the game. Helps when I wanted to run rr2 in my s8, and seems that people are getting fortnite to work using it.
Working great for me, didn't have to spoof anything or do anything special, works right out of the box. In-game screenshot here.
Maybe try waiting a bit on the splash screen, it takes about 30-45 seconds for me to load up.

At least I know it can work. Thats strange mine wont get past the boot logo. I downloaded it from the play store current version.
My sd card seems fast enough android assistant says boot time is 2:00 to load into android and everything seems fast. Whats your boot time about?
Ya I can't get past the boot logo either. Always crashes when I push a button on a joycon or just hangs there till I exit. @spenat how did you install the game?
Absolutely nothing special: Just installed it from Amazon Appstore and played. Nothing more, nothing less.
Now that I think of it: Maybe there is a different version in Amazon Appstore, than on Google Play..?
Play store, Amazon app store and downloading the apk all cause the same issues. @spenat did you install shiedlier, magisk or the joycon fix?
I have installed following mods/updates:
- Shieldifier (and updated the Nvidia App)
- Magisk (latest)
- Joycon fix
That is it, not sure if it could have any impact on that.
Weird, nothing I do can make it work
If it's of any help, my KOTOR version is 1.0.9.
I have also recorded a short "test" video of the loading time (and a very short portion of gameplay).
What menu or app are you using to open the file?
It's a launcher called "ATV Launcher".
So I have bought it from Google and Amazon. Downloaded patched version. Clean wipe and fresh install on a new SD card. And nothing. Just hangs at the logo forever,
Same issue here, crashes on boot logo.
A thought, have you tried noting without the joy cons connected?
What KOTOR version are you using? Maybe try side-loading the KOTOR app (look for version 1.0.9).
I haven't tried launching the game without the joycons connected, will try and report back.
I have tried the 1.0.6 on google play, 1.0.7 on amazon, 1.0.9 underground and a bunch others and all do the same thing
hmph just hangs here too is this guy trolling? not cool gonna try atv launcher
just tried no luck there either.
Are you logged into the amazon game service? it wont let me do that...
do you also own this on a legit shield?
I am not "trolling", you can watch my video above - the game is working fine for me... No, I am not logged into amazon game service.
Also no, I don't have the game on Shield device, I don't even have one. I have it in Amazon Underground app store since a long time ago.
