Has anyone made an Xperia S small apps list with download links etc? I've tried searching but couldn't really find one
Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S
In my case, the Small Apps automatically appear on Play Store and it recommends me to install them, at least the official ones.
I don't know if there are some more, I'd like to know too
Just open the Small apps on your phone, scroll to the very right, touch the + button, then Play Store and there you go.

Hey Guys.

I find this very annoying as well as I try and uninstall tons of apps

They should at least give us a way to change how the list is organized.
I can't even see all of the apps I've ever installed online. The list stops at F.

Because there's so many, mine stops at M. If you go to Order History (or something similar), you'll see every app you've downloaded in chronological order.

Known issue for Android app
Hey, I can't post the link (I'm new), but if you google "delete old apps google play store," the first entry is Known issues for Android apps.
"Deleting apps from My Apps/My Orders
At this time, there is no way to delete records of old apps either on the Google Play website (play.google.com) or from the My Apps section of the Google Play Store app.
We know that some users are looking for a way to delete old apps from Google Play, and we'll certainly take this into account as we work to improve the Google Play experience in the future."
Guess we'll have to wait.
Is it possible to sort the apps in your Library by purchased? I have bought loads of apps over the years and I would love to see what apps I have that I cant remember buying.
Buy when you go onto the Play Store Under My Android Apps/Other apps in my library Its just a list with zero order
How do you guys deal with this?
Thanks
Take it no one has this problem.
You might be able to on the play store website, it would be useful to do this on the app though..

Its such a pain!!! the really old app store (before play store) had it default so you can just see the apps you brought.
If you press menu and then my apps you can swipe across to see all the apps you've installed, no way to sort though.

I find this very Odd Google not put this option on both website or app They is loads of apps I bought on my last phone, that I cant remember if they were good to install again on my OneX. Having this simple option on sorting apps is very much needed.
Well, you can visit the website from your phone and hit the install button.
I have used this previously but I'm not sure if it has been updated recently. It might be worth asking Paul if you can't get it to work.

Edit... it still works. Reboot your phone if you get any issues when you first install the apk.

You not understanding what we talking about. Yes you can go to site and even install from phone, But every single app I have install be it free or payed is mixed together in one big list. So a simple sort button would be great.
Often Google Play will report that certain apps on Play are not compatible with HTC Wildfire S.
Basically this is because the Wildfire S stock RAM size is small and Google Play compares the app size with their Compatable phones list to see if it will fit.
I have read through a few XDA posts and it appears that if the Model and Manufacturer data is changed in the build.prop file then Play will see the phone as one which is compatable. i.e. Samsung Galaxy Sll.
Does anyone know of a app that will do this? or any developers out there that can do this or a script to do it for rooted phones with sd-card system programs like data2sd ect?
Maybe it would be possible to fool the system for a while just so you can install 'imcompatible' apps from Play.
It's easier to just download the .apk from somewhere.
If you are using sense and you edit some build.props entry maybe like this one. Sense framework may go weird.
OK, so first things first. I am rooted and have attempted repeatedly to remove the Google Play Services apk with no luck. I have used TB to uninstall. freeze, delete. It will delete the file and or remove it but when I reboot its back and it wont go away. I have looked into the my
/data/app
folder and deleted the file from there and then removing it with TB, still whether I reboot or I wait anywhere from minutes to a coupel hours its back and as it doesnt show up under the PLAY store I cant think of any other way to remove the dang thing and its eating about 40mb of internal storage. I move it to SD and it will work for a bit, but then its back to internal storage..... I dont even use Google+ that much on my phone. I use it on my PC.
Any ideas/suggestions?

It takes only 7.92MB of internal storage for me.
You need to remove the GPlay store to remove it permanently.
Maybe if I rename the play store apk and add a .bak then reboot then remove the dang thing entirely it will be gone.
I looked and I dont know whats different with mine but its eating around 39mb on my phone.
Why would you want to remove it? This app, as far as I can remember I read, gives us "Smart Update" which lets you install and update only the updated portions of apps instead of redownloading the entire app. So... I just moved the app to my system partition using TB, then Integrate it with the ROM everytime it gets updated. Internal memory problem solved.
According to Google Play reviews, you need it for YouTube and possibly other Google services.

Sorry, but this is wrong. Smart Update is a Google Play Store feature and has nothing to do with Google Play Services.

Yeah true, since newest version.
Google Play Services is something like a replacement for older Google APIs on Android. It allows developers to use a newer version of those APIs (this "newer" version is not better in any way, but new ). Google's idea is to get more independant from hardware manufacturers and their updates. They want this APIs to be no longer part of the system to update them on their own. They started porting their Apps to the new APIs, YouTube is one of the affected apps (what means they did not add any feature but let the app work only on Android systems with Play Services installed).
Im at war with Google now. Will go Windows
Up until today I was quite happy with my ZTE T60. Then suddenly upon waking up this morning it was sluggish, the Internet was unresponsive and became a great disappointment. Then the low memory warnings started, my "market" Icon was switched to "Play Store". So into settings and application management I go. Now I notice two new applications I did not install or was I asked for permissions. One being the play store which is only a MB or so bigger than the old "market" app but now I also have this "Google play services" thats 19MB! My device only has 128M ROM. I don't have room for it and I cant get rid of it. Being that Google took over my device I have decided to boycott all Android devices. I would also like to note the same exact thing was done by Google with my Samsung GT-S5570 Galaxy mini. Whats the point of pushing store software onto devices like this that takes up all of the Rom so one couldn't download anything from the store if they wanted to? Doesn't Google realize this enormous update is not suitable for every android device on-line and why have they mandated it? Sorry Google, I used to love ya but this is the big goodbye.
I am not sure about windows phone OS but I can agree with you. Now Apple and Android are doing the same bad things than Windows for desktop did in the past.
Unfortunately on mobilephones its is even worse because by default you are not root/admintrator.

You need it for like all services by google. The google play store will just keep downloading it and putting it on your phone until the end of time. Youd probably have to re engineer the google play and other google apps to not download this app.

Hi.
I just wrote a similar post in reply to a member's thread.It took me more than 1.5 hours,but when I finished my browser closed and all that work was proved to be in vain.
These are the tips which will help you to improve your phone's battery usage,ram and overall performance.
Disclamiar:Follow at your own risk.I am not responsible for any damage.
These are for people using and which plan to use stock roms.Custom roms can help you alot.Thanks to developers for them.
(I don't speak english.So sorry,if you cannot understand anything or something feels wrong.Ask me below for questions and any doubts.It is my 1st post.
TIPS:
1. Uninstall unwanted apps and those which dont work.Like games which you dont play.
Have a complete look at all the apps you have installed or are pre-installed.
If you dont use Here Maps,uninstall it.
Social apps like Facebook,bbm,viber,twitter,whatsapp use backgroung processing and network data leading to less ram.Uninstall which you dont use.For Facebook use Facebook lite version app.
For uninstalling these apps you need Titanium backup.Your device must be rooted and have Superuser installed.You can also disable apps from titanium backup so they wont work and you can defrost them any time you need them later.
2.If you think that you may need any app again in future.Copy its apk file.
Tutorial:
I use X-plore file manager for this purpose and for exploring root.It is free.
Install it and click on app manager.Select the app by long pressing on it or touching the 'marking' sign in front of it.You can mark multiple files at a time.Then copy them to your desired internal or external sdcard.You will have to open the target folder in the second pane.Click copy but dont tick move.You have succesfully copied desired file's apk to your sdcard.
If you are rooted,you can even copy apks of apps which are system apps and are not shown in app manager.
In xplore go to root,then system,then app.You will probably find all of the system apps apk here.Copy the ones you need like you did above.
This tip is especially useful for those wondering where their app's apk go after installing from google play store.You can find those apks in App manager,system>apps and also the ones you update and install only from google play from Data>apps.Even the apps included in google apps package and were updated like store,google services and weather and news etc from Data>apps.In order to know which app is it,click on it.It will ask you to install.You will be able to see the app's name in the appeared window.
You need root access for accessing System and Data inside Root folder.
Also you can learn which app was updated from 'Titanium backup'.It will show updated infront of those apps.
(I searched internet for above tip for a long time but could not find it,not all of it.Then I learnt it myself and shared with you.)
3.Install any taskmanager app,Greenify is the best b/c of its ease of use and other factors.It does not require root.But you will only get real benefit if you are rooted and will be able to hibernate all apps even those which dont hibernate in non-root mode like Uc Browser and other system apps.It requires donation package to greenify system apps.Get a donated version and install xposed then xposed's framework inside it.You will be in boost mode.You can check it by clicking Mode in Greenify.
4.Use Google play store instead of Nokia store.It is a lot better than nokia store and others.
Check if HERE supports your country and has maps for your country.If not then there is not point in keeping it.Uninstall it using Titanium Backup,scroll down to Here in titanium backup and uninstall it.If you really use maps but are not available on Nokia Here,try Google Maps or any other.
Maps,Email and social apps work in background and use mobile data.
5.Everytime you close an app make sure delete its notification from fastlane and also if you have updated your software,swipe down from upper side of touch screen,you will have and icon left of setting icon,it will be like swapping icon.Click it and then close all the apps except the one you are running right now by touching cross sign below them or just scroll up from down and click close all apps.
6.Move some heavy apps to your sdcard to free some space for other apps by going to setting>apps>manage apps>all and click on the apps you want to move and then click move to phone storage.
7.There are many applications which claim to optimize your ram and improve performance,you can check them out but most of them are not free.
For example,Sd card caches plus booster pro downloads caches to your sd card instead of default data folder which we accessed above.
And ther ram boosters,Battery saver pro plus booster etc.
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2771255
For these apps.
8.This tip will feel a bit unusual but I know it works great because I have a mobile repairing background.
Always,Always keep your phone clean.Avoid
Taking it out in dust and rain or where ever there is a chance of getting it wet and dirty.
Use a soft cloth to clean your phone from outside and remove your battery clean it and especially battery terminals,then clean the terminals of battery inside the phone.4 of them are there which touch the battery and hence the phone gets power from battery.
If there is any dirt or foreign object or layer gently rub it off with a cloth or use a soft brush.You can use your old tooth brush too for cleaning purpose.
Actualy when any extra layer of dirt or water etc. is present on battery terminals,it messes with the supply of current to the phone.it can cause less power supply or even sudden increase which may lead to a dead phone or damaged phone.
JUst DONT GO ALL WILD AND BREAK THE BATTERY TERMINALS AND ANYTHING ELSE.
9.Dont forget the little hole about 3mm away from usb port on touch screen.Microphone is under it so clean off the dirt inside it or else the other person may not be able to hear you when on a call.
10.Dont use cracks and patchers too much.They can cause some application to stop suddenly.
11.Before installing any app,patch or custom rom or kernels,please thoroughly read all the instruction provided to know their pros and cons and also learn what problems they can cause so you may fix them and dont have to point your finger towards their developers for your loss.If they provided you with all information and somehow you damage your phone,it will be your fault.Only if they say everything will be fine,just install and dont tell you about the faults,then they can be responsible.
12.Feel free to search this forum and the internet to get more information.
Hope these help.
Again sorry for bad punctuation and spellings.If you dont understand anything,post below.I dont know much english.
Thanks..
