Android 4.2 Play Store Bug? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have disabled Auto-Add Shortcuts in the Play Store settings but it seems to still keep adding them to my home screen every time I download an app. Have only noticed this behaviour since I started using 4.2. Thanks for your help.

Have you tried applications management, force stop market, clear data, do same with Google framework. Reboot, run market. If not search for Google Play. Apk. Download, intall and repeat above

DAE have most apps report they are incompatible with their gtab? Its liike the ics beta doesn't have the so called market fix?!?!
No problems here. Google Play updated just fine, and most apps I am looking for show up with the default settings.
With the ICS Beta 1.0, you can go into ROM Control and change the footprint to be seen as different tablets, such as the Xoom and Transformer.
Make sure to Force Stop the Market (Play Store) app and clear data (also check to see if Market Updater needs to be force closed). You may also have to force stop Google Framework and clear its data as well.
If you change footprints, you have to clear market data so it will load the new footprint.
Try upgrading to the latest gapps package TeamDRH released. It has google play built in.
This worked thanks!

Select the widgets tab from your app drawer then drag and drop.
Loving this ROM, it installed with no issues. Multitouch gestures are not working at all for me (which would be fine if I didn't have apps that seem to require it).
Has anyone found a successful way to get rid of the status bar at the bottom?
I have looked at other threads, it seems some ROMs have this built in. The auto-hide option in settings didn't work, and I tried the Gesture Control app with no luck either (maybe because multitouch isn't working for me).

[Q] market, shows all previous installed apps

Hi,
Since trying out all these new ROMs out there (hats off to their wonderful work), I've noticed that the att modded roms have a market feature that's been driving me batty. I'm not saying its the at&t roms, but I've just noticed this since I started these roms.
The"my app" section used to have a list of the installed apps, and below it was a list on the apps I've purchased, which is cool.
What I've noticed recently in the"my apps" section is a page with the installed apps, then if I swipe to the right, the page shows all the purchased apps, plus all the other apps I've installed since I've started using the market (ones I've stopped using out didn't like and uninstalled). Which I'd cluttered and annoying when reloading apps.
My question is, if it is the version of the market, can I load the Rogers version of the market, out if that isn't practical, can I devourer this list somehow?
Not a huge issue, but an annoyance.
Thank you in advance.

Its a feature of Google play updated to version 3.5.15 since long time.
Thanks to op to pull this market update in the rom already, as its aanually update and not pushed automatically.

Just use titanium backup to manage your restoring and you won't have to worry about it

Saves me from having to do a search for apps that I have a license key to. Launcher pro and fuel log pro arre 2 that come to mine that I import setting within the app due to tibu bugs when restoring data to them.

Thanks for all the great info. I want aware that was a feature of the new play market.
It's very annoying.. Thanks for the advice of restoring from titanium. I should be able to pull a market apk out of an old ROM zip and install it.
Play needs filters!
Google needs to have a way to sort purchased apps from every other app I downloaded within the past 6 months, which is MANY. I have to scroll 3 pages then might see one purchased app, scroll two more pages to see another couple...

What that guy said.
I find it easier to manage my apps from a computer. I just log onto my google account and then send the apps to the device I want them on...
https://play.google.com/apps
market, website bug
Using PC was my bright idea, untill I figured out, that it only shows you about 10 pages of your apps, alphabeticaly, and there is no way to show next one, so my list ends on letter G.
Also using market on the device after choosing to install an app from the list, I am returned to the beginning of the [email protected]#! Major annoyance.
Also I have restored the device and then logged back in using same account, only to figure that it will not put all the apps back on...
So, if I could have a suggestion- could we have ability to have an app list to install in one click on a new device? Or at the least could we have our apps list with boxes for checkmarks, so we can check all of the nessesary apps and then install them?.... sigh

[Q] Multiple apps previously downloaded are not compatible with phone in Play Store

Hi all. I need some help in figuring out what the problem is.
Currently I am running Paranoid Kangdroid by JamieD. I have multiple apps that are downloaded, but when I go to their Play Store Page, I get a meesage that says my device isn't compatible with the app.
Here are some of the apps that are applicable to this problem:
Square Register
Tasker
Google Hangouts (replaces Talk)
9Gag Official App
Temple Run 2
Amazon Mobile
There are a lot more apps, but these are just a few.
This problem also occurred with PTMR's Debloated JB 4.1 and JamieD's Revolt. I was wondering what could the problem be? Resetting the DPI did not fix anything and I wasn't sure making a post in the development thread would be the best place to ask my question. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I'd try this (I'm tired so I'll forget actual details):
Make sure your play store is 320 size and 360 layout. Once that's done, restart phone, then delete cache and data for play store and play services, restart again.

Thanks for your reply, but it didn't work. Maybe we're missing a crucial step?
The weird thing about this is that the play store didn't act weird until recently (maybe within the past week). Before, at 220 dpi and 600 layout, I didn't have this problem with the apps mentioned above.
You were on the right track. I just had to reset the dpi for the play store in the hybrid settings. Thanks for the help.

Search for Multi DPI Play Store 4.1.6 and you will find what you need. That way it won't matter your DPI, of the apps are compatible they will be listed.

[Q] Few questions from someone new to the Kindle..

Hello,
I just ordered the Fire HD 6 and am super stoked to get it. I had a few questions if someone familiar with it could help, I'd greatly appreciate it.
1. Can I install a different launcher on the new OS or did they lock it down so you can't do that anymore? I'd love to put Nova on it just to make it feel more comfortable for me.
2. Can I install google music and allow it to stream from the cloud on the device? I've read some tutorials online, but they all seem to be older so I don't know if the new updated OS has blocked some of these.
3. Is it tough to side load apps as far as apps causing issues when doing so? I'd mainly be looking to side load Google Play Music, Chrome, and possibly a few other small apps.
Any help would greatly be appreciated. I've searched all over the web for a site that has a forum for this particular tablet, and this seems to be the only valid one I could find.
Thank you
I can answer a few. When installing a launcher, it allows you to but when choosing set as default it never really gets set as default. It just keeps showing the choose launcher pop-up each time you press home.
Google Music works but you cannot log into your google account with it and streaming does not seem to work.
Sideloading apps is just as easy as any Android but many apps that use Google services will crash. Surprisingly Chrome does work on the hd6! At least Chrome beta. Did not try regular Chrome.

Thank you for your help, exactly what I was wanting to know.
I sideloaded Tasker and was able to set Themer to open up on unlock. It helps with not being able to set it as default.
Themer also lets you set wallpapers and custom icons. It's kinda buggy, but it gets the job done. Have Power Toggles in the Notifications to make up with not having the menu.

Clash of clans blurry in Tab S3. Game tuner isn't compatible with tab s3.

I have a tab s2 and playing clash was a nightmare on that with random troop drops and other touch screen issues. Also, resolution was blurry but the game tuner app resolved it. I was hoping tab s3 would not have the same problem but it looks like resolution is still blurry and the bad news is the game tuner app is not even compatible with tab s3. No dice using Game tuner apk cause it needs game optimizing services. Anyone else playing clash on tab s3?
I have had the same issue on both tab s2 and s3 which really bugs me. After some digging ive found you have to download an app from samsung called GAME TUNER. In there you can set clash of clans and any other games to run at native resolution which means no more blurry! Strangely enough, on my galaxy note 5 i can find the game tuner app in galaxy app store but not on tab s3. I ended up googling game tuner apk, downloaded and installeded 3.xx.x version and that works just fine.

How did you get Game Tuner working on your Tab S3??
[I have Game Tuner v3.0.6 installed from Apitode]
I'm having the same issue as the OP, tuner won't work because it will not recognize the stock version of "Game Optimizing Services" which is installed on the TabS3. I can find it through [Dev Options / Running Apps] but I cannot find it or force it to open separately by using Activity Launcher.
One sort of work around I have found is using an app called "Parallel Space" which lets you run 2nd instances of apps through a server for those with multiple accounts. Once I add Clash of Clans and log into any of my Clash accounts the picture is crystal clear. No scaling issues through Parallel Space.

I am also running v3.0.6 and everything work just fine like on my note 5. I did turn off all battery saving settings tho.
Not sure how you were able to load game tuner on your tab S3. Did you not get the game optimizing services error?

I still can't get Game Tuner to run on my Tab S3. But I can see my game icons ghosted behind the splash screen that asks for 'game optimizing services'. If I could only figure out how to cancel that screen.
Seems Game Tuner is not optimized for the TabS3 yet. Which is what confuses us on why it works for you. How did you bypass the error?

never seen any error, just install and run. Did you guy's get your game tuner app from galaxy app store or apk from elsewhere ? I'm running the Hong Kong version rom btw don't know if that makes a difference.

I sideloaded the apk. App doesn't even show up on both app stores. Could you check if you have game optimizing services in the application manager?

Just install these apks.

I tried Game Tuner today and it was able to find an update for Optimizing Services in the Galaxy App Store. Updated and now Game Tuner works great. I bumped Clash up to 100% resolution and the game runs crystal clear as it should ??

Thanks for the update. I don't have my tablet with me currently but I will check once I get hold of it. Quick question: Do you have any issues with troop dropping on this tablet like the tab s2 8.0? On the S2, I would touch the screen to drop the troop but it would not drop and I had to press 2 or 3 times.

Sorry for the late reply, haven't been on here lately. I rarely have troop drop issues on my S3. Every once in awhile I'll have to tap a 2nd time, but nowhere near the issues I was having with my SGN 10.1 2014Ed tablet... that thing became almost unplayable with tap registration.
Only issue I have is doing a 2-3 finger drop, sometimes it will register as a screen zoom or pan. But that is just me not holding my hand still long enough for troops to start popping out then drag after. A screen protector could help with finger slip, but I use the tab for drawing too much and I don't know how a one would affect the Spen stroke... add drag etc.
Anyway able to get macro mode to work?
