Hi,
If I want to list my own apps via amazon's app store nothing happens. My apps are not been listed but instead the start screen of the Amazon's app store is still shown. I deleted already all data and deinstalled all app store's updates. But it will not work.
Do you have any hint for me how I can list my apps?
Go to your app drawer
Look at the top left
Switch to cloud
This shows all your owned apps
Hm, you certainly mean the amazon launcher, right? Iam using Nova and I have no clue how I can get back...

I think you can only access all apps if you revert to stock launcher NOT from third party launcher.
Really? What a strange OS. Is there any alternative? I have root, maybe I can do something with it to work around this problem? E. g. installing amazon underground, but this did not work as stated in a parallel thread here

install Home Switch from the google play store, with that you can easy switch between your launcher and amazon launcher, when you need to access your amazon app library.
Ok, thanks for all your tips. Nevertheless, there are more such annoyances and therefore I installed yesterday cm11. It runs as hell

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.
lots of my side loaded apps are crashing and going back to the make screen when launched from ouya but if i launch from play store they work
any ideas guys ?
thanks
Huh? what do you mean?
Install another launcher like baxxy or nova and use that instead.

Which apps and which ROM ru on? It would help painting the whole picture, ya' know?
i did, they launch from ouya "make" screen and just go back to it they wont launch basiclly but if i go into the play store app then my apps they will launch from that and its standard rom
I have a few games that do that. Some apps just don't seem to like Ouya's stock launcher. Have you tried the Ouya menu hacks from this pack?

Hi please see attached pic. How is this possible to display all your apps in this fashion? I have never seen this before nor is he saying how it's done. http://youtu.be/8SCsH86MYl8

I haven't played around with many launchers but that's what it is. Specifically, I think it may be this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2790392
There are no pics there either but just from reading a lot on this site and others that's what I think it is. In my opinion, these work best when kftv launcher is frozen (requires root and xposed) but some don't want to completely bypass it because you lose prime content. Its not the only launcher. there are lots of them but I do like this developer. He has shortcuts you can use from within kodi to launch youtube, netflix and get back to aftv homescreen.
If you are rooted and do freeze the main launcher I'd just use caution. The other day I read someone on a different site froze kftv with no backup launcher installed. Now he's stuck. I don't want to make it sound dangerous. I was actually using a different mod that launched right into xbmc without xposed modules but I was careful and had a fallback launcher so if anything went wrong I still had something to boot in to.
Or if you just want to safely play around and you aren't rooted you might try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2782307
I tried it when I first got AFTV and it's pretty cool but I notice it's had some nice updates since. It basically runs on top of KFTV launcher so I think hitting the home button takes you right back to the normal menu. It does help eliminate all the clicks it takes to get from start to the app you want--IMO one of the weaker points in the aftv ui
Thanks for the information. I'm going to look into it. I'm rooted with custom boot menu and clockworkmod recovery. If anything happens, I can easily boot into recovery and flash a rooted ROM again.
Klit75 its not firedtv launcher. I am not sure what it is, but definitely not that launcher.
The answer is simple, install the amazon app store apk, reboot, finished. Keep the apk, cause if you need to install amazon apps you will have to uninstall then reinstall when finished. It basically disables you from doing anything on the amazon store while you have the app store installed, but thats the way you get your apps to look like that.

I'm a little confused. The amazon app store is already installed by default on all Amazon Fire TV's. It's on the list of apps when you go to settings/manage installed apps/
Are you saying to download the amazon apk from elsewhere, sideload it and install it over the existing Amazon app store?

That is exactly what he is saying it works but you wont be able to install anymore amazon apps. You would have to uninstall amazon appstore and resynch to get the firetv version of appstore.... soo install everything you need from the amazon app store first.

lol Okay, will give it a try! Sounds simple enough. Amazon App Store sucks anyway and I already have the Play store installed.
I wonder if it will auto populate the list of apps when I install any new apps from Play Store? I'm also assuming sideloading apps doesn't get affected by this? I will try both when I get home and will report back my findings.
Thank you guys.
Amazon's parental control Freetime app does not appear to be very useful. It seems to allow me to select only those apps downloaded from the Amazon app store, and not choose from all installed on the tablet (including the ones from Google Play).
has anyone found an alternative? I'd hate to have to go through a paying service (although, Remote Screen Time seems to work best, but still costs $5/month).
thanks!

Suggestions
Have you tried the "Screen Time Parental Control" app? I use it.
Kids Place would be great, but the home button can't be locked by the kids place app, because the fire launcher always starts if pressing the home button. So it is not a parental controled app...
Has anyone any idea how to make the lock possible ? Are there root rights necessary ?
Thanks,
Klaus

I deleted ghee fire launcher and am using another launcher and so the home button works fine on kids place for my son. Yes you need root to delete the fire launcher.
How habe you deleted? Which launcher do you use ? Do you habe the fire 5.1.1 ?

I use Smart Launcher. My device is rooted and it's running 5.0.1. It was a birthday gift for my 4 year old. I rooted it and disabled updates and deleted the fire launcher after I installed Smart Launcher. So I don't do anything with it now myself unless it's installing some new game for my 4 year old. Is 5.1.1 not able to be rooted? I'm not keeping up with the scene on this tablet because I don't use it myself, only when I set it up for my son, and it was on 5.0.1 after whatever initial update it got when I first turned it on.
Anyone a kids Place or secured APP running on a 5.1.1 fire?

ok, with supertool (see link at the bottom), just install google playstore and novalauncher. Permanent root is not necessary ! It worked perfectly for me and kids place doing well !
Please notice that a factory reset and a 5.1.1 version is needed before using the super tool from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=64358332#post64358332
I tried AppLock from Qizmodo, has been perfect, but isn't working with 5.1.1 anymore. Really sad. So maybe Mobile Fence will work, website says it is compatible with 5.1.1.
I don't wanna just lock apps, but set a time limit for e.g. games so that my daughter is able to use the musci player all day, but will not play games for several hours. If someone has an idea how to get AppLock running again, would be great. I contacted the company itself, but doesn't seem they are working on the app anymore.
Have you tried supertool to get novalauncher ? Maybe that can cope with applocker.

I don't see the benefit of novalauncher. I can hide unused apps, ok. But I want to use some apps with a predefined time limit. So I installed some nice games, want to define the group "games" and set a time limit for their usage, let's say 1h daily. I find no way to do that with novalauncher...
Try Nester, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.mindquake.nester&hl=en
I used the free version of dinner time, but the pay version(3.99) adds a couple non essential stuff.

Same here. But it's still possible for the kids to use "parent apps", when they let list the recently used apps (right symbol after swiping up from the bottom).

You can simply disable that via the Kids Place - Parental Control app!!!
I found a good one: lollipop launcher by mobint. It allows you to lock apps on home screen and hide others on app drawer. It's free too. I recommend it.

I can't find this option in the settings of Kids Place (disabling switching between the recently run apps). Where is it?
i use this launcher with my rooted kindle fire for my children
