On my sister's HTC Wildfire S there is only about 20 apps in the Play Store, and I can't figure it out at all!
The phone is not rooted or modified in any way as far as I know. I've tried to use my own google account to search for apps, but that doesn't work.
I hope you can help me and my sister in some way
If you have any ideas, please post them

I see that this topic has been created in other forums, like HTC vox, omnia II general. But since I am new to this I am not sure if the same answer holds true for my phone (Tmobile G2, Desire Z?)
The perpetrators I would like to remove are:
Amazon MP3
Google Finance
Latitutde
Shopper
News and weather
Google earth (why is it there if the phone has google maps)
Google Goggles
Photobucket
Facebook
Twitter
So is the only way to do this is to root the phone? If I root the phone will I have other apps remainng like google voice commands, and can I go back to origional OS?
Thanks in advance
without root you can't remove them, however, you can dis-able them. They wouldn't show up in your app drawer and they won't run, but they'll technically still be installed. There is a thread about it in the dev forums. I can't post links or else I'd find it
would rooting delete all the other apps as well???
I know that I need to install some apps when I first start after I install it, but I have no clue as to what these apps are. Will somebody help me out here?
they are stock google apps, taken out due to copyright, such as google maps, market, google voice, goggles, etc.
I have downloaded the 4.0.4 for GNex GSM in google site, then i install it in my phone using GNex Toolkit, everything work fine... until i try to install a app in Play Store from site.
After asking for install the app in Play Store Site, in my phone i got a popup telling me that Play Store has broken.
Anyone else having this issue ?

Mods, sorry again can someone move this thread for the right section ?
Not sure if this is the correct section so could someone move it if needs be.
I've been a lifelong iOS user but finally got bored and ordered an Android phone. I know all about jailbreaking, but know absolutely nothing about rooting and I've been told this is where I'll find whatever info I need.
I have a few general questions and would appreciate if someone could shed some light as I need to get around the basics before I start messing with rooting etc.
I ordered a Nubia z7 Mini which looks like an amazing bit of kit for the price but since it's a Chinese phone there's a few things I'm unsure of.
Would it come with Google Play Store installed? If not, how do the Chinese get their apps?
Also, I've seen that you have to root the phone to install Google apps. What Google apps, and why do you need it?
Lastly, if you need to root the device to install these items, is there a way to unroot it afterwards and keep the newly installed apps? The reason I'm asking is because on an iPhone, certain apps won't work if it's jailbroken(like the Barclays banking app which is essential), so just wondering if it's the same with Android devices.
Thanks for any help.
1- it depends on the seller you buy from . some will install the gapps for you and some not . but don't worry it's so easy to install
the Chinese have their own app stores
2- The Google Apps (or GApps as they are commonly referred to) are the proprietary applications by Google included in many Android devices. Most of the applications can now be found and updated via the Google Play Store.Some of the apps include the Google Play Store itself, Google Talk, Google Sync (for adding and synchronizing Google accounts), Google Backup Transport, Car Home, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, Google Search, Google Voice Search, Google Music, and Google Docs.

Thank you for the explanation. I've got my phone and slowly getting the hang of it.
So why can you not install gapps on a Chinese phone without rooting it? And if I unroot it, will gapps disappear or stay behind?
Reason I'm asking is because I need to use apps which won't work on rooted devices, but I don't want to loose gapps.
Hey,
I got many issues with my BS3 Chinese.
After many tries, install apk etc the solution to fix everything is to search in installed App Store the Google installer called GO(+chinese stuff).
This app will delete every Google thing already installed then install good version of play store, framework, etc.
This fix payment issue, maps, sync except contacts.
To fix contacts sync you need to download Google contacts sync apk.
Dont forget to give all permissions to Google app or service.
I hope this helps.
I have try this Go+ a.k.a google installer from appstore..but i try to buy diamond for mobile legend and others games cannot..any ways to make it success?
I think you missed some authorization for Google apps
