I just rooted my nexus today from the androidandme website. I added CyanogenMod-5.0.5.2, once I rebooted though, I don't have the market app, or any of the google/gmail items, where did I go wrong?
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/150-cyanogenmod-for-nexus-one-v5053-03232010/
The add on is on the link at his forum
I had the same problem, but only wanted the market app, is there any way to just get that?
Install the google add on
I don't think you can get the android market alone. G-talk is needed to recognize apps in the download list. Think it best to flash the add-on.
I'm so clever. I've enabled the "Market Access" app on my Captivate. If only I knew of some apps which had hitherto been unavailable to me.
Only thing I've seen definitely blocked by AT&T is EasyTether.
I just got my phone and some apps I like so far
Floating Image
Google Goggles
Ringdroid
Scanner Radio
Does anyone know of any apps to show off this beast of a phone? Google Goggles is a nice way of showing what droid does.
I was wondering specifically about apps that weren't available to the Cap before allowing Market Access, like T Mobile apps.
Can anyone give me a list of bloatware that I can remove/disable? please note I will not root my tablet
Anything that you can remove without root, is safe to remove. It's up to you to decide whether you need or want an app. What extra stuff is preloaded depends on your region.
You can not remove any bloadware without rooting your device. I mostly remove high data usage apps like Samsung link, google MUSIC, book.. . And other google apps which im not use them and Microsoft Excel,word etc. You can check and remove apps with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.easyapps.txtoolbox

Not exactly true. For example, it is possible to disable "Galaxy Apps" without root by simply going to application manager and clicking "Disable" button. However, doing so will cause anything installed through "Galaxy Apps" marketplace to fail to update. Like Microsoft Office apps, for one example. The app itself will say "New version available", but clicking on "Get It" button will just silently fail.

I was talking about removing, not just disabling. The bloatware, like e.g. the pizza and hotel apps included in the German firmware, can be removed like normal apps via the app drawer. I would indeed think that disabling system apps like "Galaxy Apps" is riskier.
The situation with the pre-installed Office apps is a bit weird: you can't update them via the Google Play, even though Google Play indicates that an update is available. Somehow Google thinks that these apps are incompatible with our device and refuses to install or update them. Even though they are pre-installed and our device clearly is compatible. This happens even if you haven't disabled "Galaxy Apps". But you do indeed need "Galaxy Apps" if you do want to update them, since that store does see our device as compatible. Though in my experience, updates arrive in "Galaxy Apps" much later.

What if I disable Galaxy Apps and remove Office apps and reinstall it through Google Play will it update properly?

No. Google Play has marked the Office applications as incompatible with our device, so I suspect you can't reinstall it from Google Play.
Is there a link to a description of these apps/packages anywhere? I'd like to take a look at one before I disable my stuff... Or do I need to google them one by one? I downloaded a package info tool but as for descriptions, it just has a button that says "Google It" and it just shoves the query into my search app...which isn't exactly what I expected when downloading the app.

I hear you Klear, all us simple users need is a list of things which are safe to disable on a stock tablet running Android 7. I've disabled the following and things seem to be OK:-
-Dictionary
-Drive
-Excel
-Google Play & Movies
-Hangouts
-Memo
-OneDrive
-OneNote
-Photos
-Powerpoint
-SideSync
-Word
I suspect there are many more?
Everything Samsung related, I'd say.
I can send you my list if you wish.

I don't think that's completely true. I regularly receive updates via play store at least on the beta channel
Hello,
Is there any way to remove ads from apps installed from AppGallery?
Some apps installed from Aurora store don't have push notifications, when apps installed from AppGallery work normal but ads are there.
I use AdGuard without GMS.
hello,
are its possbile and how to install on galaxy watch an app that blocking with password a specific app like in google play?
i mean, in google paly there is a few app to install that protect to not open specific applications.
are its possible?
for example, i want to blocking the browser of Samsung that or will be unable to install it, or blocking it with a password,
someone know the best way how to do it?
many thank on advance.
Best you can do is disable and hide it.
hello,
many thanks for your reply.
what you mean to block and hide, the play store app?
if yes, after time its will be able to unhide it.
are you know an option to protect with a password?
many thanks again.
No, the browser is pre-installed by Samsung. You can go into the HOME SCREEN settings (press on an empty space on one of the home screens and select settings). There you will find HIDE APPS ON HOME AND APPS SCREEN. On that menu, you can hide any of the apps so they do not show on the phone. If you ever want to use them, then just un-hide them.
