Found these instructions on Phandroid and thought I would share them with everyone. Worked like a charm for me. This will get rid of the Android Market app/icon on your phone and replace it with the Google Play Store.
1. Install or update to the latest version of Play Books, Play Movies, or Play
Music
2. Navigate to Settings > Apps > Market and hit “Clear data”
3. Open Play Books, Play Movies, or Play Music
4. Tap the Play Store icon and accept new terms of service
5. Welcome to the Google Play Store
Much easier way. Just clear data on market and uninstall updates, then after you open the market it updates to Play.
too bad you still cant rent any movies if you're rooted.

so whats the difference with the play market and how the music market was before....looks the same to me, except for a few new squares like play beats and play guitar......other than that its the same.
well that was a waste...the version number isn't even different despite a new TOS message. Either this doesn't work for the update or they just rebranded the old Android Market.

I followed the steps exactly as above and at first wasn't able to access the Android Market app anymore, it said it doesn't exist. I shut my phone off, turned it back on and I had a new app called Play Store. This app replaces the Android Market App.

It's pretty much the same ,Google Music, Google eBookstore, and the Android Market were combined to form Google Play. You can purchase music, movies, books, and apps at play.google.com, but those items will also be stored in the cloud. You'll be able to do the same thing on your Android phone or tablet using the various Google Play apps. More info below.

did it without clearing data for the market, just updated play music and hit the market button in it and it updated to play (market?).
Or you could just download this.
You will most likely have to reboot after installing it like I did.
as title,when I open an androidzoom link to download an app on google play store,kindle fire does open the amazon store and an error occur but the app linked must be dowloaded using google play store.Is there a way to set google play store as default store?
anybody can help me? seriously? D:
WAAAAAY back when I used stock rom, I just deleted the Amazon app store and it stopped. If you want the Amazon app store, I guess you could get an app like Gemini App Manager and configure the autorun/startup settings. I've never tried it but that's where I'd start.
There are certain instances when I would prefer the default market to be Google Play instead of the Amazon App Store. A lot of times "in app" updates will direct me to the amazon app store where the app isn't found. I hope I am explaining this right. I've included a picture of what I am talking about.
You could uninstall the Amazon app store or use another app to disable it's automatic startup.
Hi. I've installed Google apps and play store on my rooted AFTV2 by following the Aftvnews guide here:
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-install-the-google-play-store-on-the-fire-tv-2-running-fire-os-5/
So far so good... I've signed in with my play store login, and can download and run free apps.
But I can't get paid apps to install or in app purchases to work.
e.g. in sky force anniversary if i try the IAP to get the whole game, the google play payment box pops up, it has my correct play store credit balance but every time I try I get a “purchase failed!“ error. Similar happens when trying to download paid apps directly from play store.
I had some success with newer Google play services and play store - I was able to sign in to Google play games but the play store crashes when I open it (I have hd xposed) so still not able to buy apps...
Has anyone managed to buy Google play apps by using different Google app versions e.g. play store, play services, play games? I only want the leanback versions as sky force anniversary is a Google TV app.
PS I don't want to pirate any apps, since I have the money to buy them!
Thanks!
Hello
I have a problem for example I use bank app and when I click on something is redirect me to v apps and it's don't work
I would love to switch default apps to normal one like play store or chrome
Same with any apps in Chinese....
For me Play Store was installed, and work with V-app perfectly when one has a update that the other doesn't have it tells me.
Search in V-app Google Play Store
