Is it possible to detach apps from market?
I have Brut Maps installed but the market says there is an update - i dont want this update as it will overwrite my brut maps.
So is there a way to remove maps from the market?
Cheers guys
Just 'untick' the auto update option on the Market for Google Maps
It is already unticked mate but still shows as update
And if there is more than one app to update and i click update all it will start to update maps aswell.
What about if i use root explorer and move the .apk from /data/app to /system/app?
Would that work?
It'll still show as an update, you can't turn it off...just have to be careful
Ok thanks mate. Was hoping there would be a way to remove the market association.
i think you can use titanium backup to detach the app from market.. the free version may work. and you may need root too. can't verify as i use the donate version and already rooted.
once installed, long press the app and click detach from market. let me know if it works for you.

I have the problem in the title. Of course, all the pre-loaded Google apps do not show in the Markeet downloads and they don't auto-update or show update notifications. I managed to install Youtube, Gmail and a few others by visiting the Market and installing them over the original pre-loaded app (I guess). Now I can find them in Markiet downloads.
The problem I have now is with Google Maps. It's not in the Market downloads, since I never downloaded it from there. But I can't even find it when I search the Market, I can't access any links or barcodes (the result will be "The requested item could not be found"), there seems to be no way for my phone to access a link for downloading Google Maps.
I have the original ROM, no root, and in the Google Maps About section I see "Version: 4.5.1 (#4665) gmm-android-htc". Is it an HTC version of Goole Maps?
What can I do? Do I need an .apk file? Why would this app be forbidden from showing up in Market for my phone? Maybe it's my phone region, but I doesn't make sense.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
These are market glitches and iv had times even on rooted phones with the market not showing certain apps that DO exist. What i did was reinstall the Google bundle apps but since your not rooted i am not quite sure what you can do but wait? or maybe a cache clean or a factory reset if all else fails
... or go settings, apps, running, find market, force stop, clear data. God knows if it'l help at all but always worth a shot.

Bingo! Not available in Romania yet I used temproot and MarketEnabler to get it.
Install the one from http://www.mediafire.com/?54mn0zw747vc1sh - I just got it from my phone.
@ddotpatel,aznsnake666 - Tried clear data, clear cache, etc. but it didn't work.
@keinengel - So I guess you have the same problem. Downloaded the file, it works! But I wonder why Google Maps isn't available for Romania?!?!? Thanks!

Go to androidpolice.com, find maps post on front page, scan QR code.

Yup, same problem. I think we need to gang up on Vodafone and get them to sign an agreement with Google for paid apps - maybe that'll fix it.
Google Maps was pre-installed in my ROM, so looking in the Market I could still see it though it wasn't showing as "Installed".
I simply clicked on "Install" and the new version overwrote the one in my ROM, and it works fine now.
I still don't get it... why is Google Maps availability depentent on region/carrier? It is a free app anyway. And since I paid for my phone which includes Google Maps, I think I should have access to updates too regardless of what country I'm in.
Hey,
I'm running the HTC sense UI, that came with my phone, which I haven't rooted.. And I would like to know if anyone could tell me how can I update programs that came preinstalled..? Because they don't show up in the market, and I would like the new updated google maps, that just came out.. in settings->about->system software update I've tried checking for updates, but still nothing..
Thanks for any help you can provide me
Yeah sometimes the market doesn't detect the apps that are already installed on my phone. I usually just click install even if it doesn't say update. Have you tried just installing the Google Maps application from the market? I believe the updated version came out yesterday.

Sometimes the market doesn't detect all of my apps as well... The fix is to clear the market cache!
clearing market cache didn't do it.. and oh well.. now i can't even find the maps on the market anymore.. so who knows what's going on ..
This happens to me too on every single ROM I've tried (stock, Cyanogen, Virtuous). There's always several apps that the market doesn't detect me as having, but the one that always seems consistent is Maps. I generally just install Maps from the market manually. This puts an extra Maps applicaton in the /data folder even though Maps already exists in the /system folder. Since I have a rooted device, I then manually delete the maps apk from the system folder.
Super simply fix. Just download aTrackdog by a0soft. It will detect every app you have installed and check to see if there are any updates. If there are you can download them either from the market or the developers website (if one exists). It will even track apps that aren't on the market, like Wireless Tether. And you don't need root for it. Should do the trick, hope it helps.
It seems that on Calkulin's ROM, the new version of Google Maps has a serious wakelock issue. I googled the offending wakelock ("networklocationpassivecollector") and the only solution is to go back to a pre 6.0 version. Thing is that I can't uninstall Google Maps, it'll let me uninstall updates, but it'll still be version 6.0 that's causing the problem.
Have you tried using root explorer and going into /system/apps click the mount RW button on top and delete the google maps? Then install the older version that you want.
You could also remove it with Abd. Google that process.
ended up using Titanium Backup. works perfectly!
Hi
I downgraded my nexus 7 to 4.4.4, because i think kitkat is better.
The tablet downloaded the 5.0.2 update, it's more than 300mb.
Where does it download?
I want the know the folder and file name to delete it,
because i have 16GB version, and it's matter
Sorry for bad English.
MFG,
Mike
Founded, cache/update.zip (We can delete it)
+
We need to disable the update with DisableService app (Free on play store)
Google play service->systemupdateservice untick.
Reboot, finish.

Thank you! I've used that app for other things but didn't even think of using it to get rid of that annoying notification. Have been searching XDA for 45 minutes trying to see what to freeze. Proof that if you search you will find it here. Thanks again, such a simple resolution lol.
I need a little help here, I have the unlocked variant of the phone that I'm using on T-Mobile. I use the my account app to keep track of my data usage and other things, the thing is that the latest version does not work properly. So I decided to go back to an older version of the application that works absolutely fine. Here's my question, is there any way that I can slightly modify the app so that it will not keep popping up in the play store letting me know that there is an update available? I know that I can disable auto updating of the application which I already have done but I would like to figure out if there's a way that I can get it to disappear from my apps list in Google play.
Any help with this would be tremendously appreciated
Titanium backup has a remove/detach from market option but that requires root.
the other option would be to resign the apk with a different key compile then then install it, it will still show the updates available on the play store but installing the update will fail

I'd do that the last time I did stuff like that was with kitkat, any guides for doing it with marshmallow?
