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.
Hi
The latest google search crash on my rom, so I don't want to update it from play store, but I don't know how to disable the update for the apps that I want. I tried to detach from market with titanium but still wants to update it.
any idea?
if you go to Google Play, select the app, there is check box that can disable automatically updating. You'll still get a push notification of the update, but you can clear it and won't show up till a reboot.
There is setting within Google Play to change autoupdate for all apps too.

No, that's not that I wanted to ask.
I have auto-updates disabled, but when I go to "my apps", play store shows all my apps that needs to be updated, if I click the update button, all of them starts the update, I want to play store don't show that app so it will never update.
Right now I need to update all of them, then look to search and then cancel that one.
Its just like he said on the new play store auto update is under options on the particular app screen if you uncheck that that app wont update on you..i know dor a fact because i have a few apps set that way...wallet in particular because the new play store auto set everything to auto update and screwed mtly wallet up for a bit and i had to find the auto uodate option.
I don't know of any other way. You may want to try to side load the application. I know the apps I side load, which are not available in the US, don't update the usual way. Some I was to get when you could still use MarketEnable and other similar apps. This has been my experience with NFL Game Pass, BBC iPlayer, etc. They don't show up having an update. I have to go to all apps in the my application list, and manually check all app, and manually update those apps that show an update is available.
I'm not saying it'll work. It's just might do what you're seeking.
Also, TB did an update and had something about delinking. You may want to give it another try.
Personally, I had a few apps I didn't want to update. I would either update the apps I wanted one by one. Otherwise, when I hit update all, I would just hit the one I didn't, and hit stop update. Hopefully, the app wasn't the first to be updated.

Odd.. I notice these having updates, but they don't get listed in with the available updates in the "My apps" section in Google Play.
If you go to the apps individually in Google Play though, it shows an "update" button (clicking the other apps by this developer link is helpful in finding the others BTW).
This sounds familiar for some system apps, but not others (many Google apps auto-updated when I first activated the phone, even before I could get to the UI to turn off auto-updating). Anyone found a way to actually find -all- apps that have updates?

Oh man I hate the autoupdating, I always turn that off, I like to be in control of that. I don't know why that setting doesnt save when you get a new phone or wipe your device.
The updates may be rolling out in phases. I recipes those updates yesterday afternoon while I was setting g the phone up for the first time.
Restart your phone and you'll get them
How to have side-loaded apps (including those requiring Google services) show up and work on a Child Profile.
It its a processes and maybe there is another way, but I couldn't find it. Here's how I did it:
Primary Account
Install ES File Explorer from Amazon App store
Install Kids Folder from Amazon App store
Download and Install Google Account Manager - This should prompt you to allow Unknown Sources from Settings
Download and Install Google Services Framework
Download and Install Google Play Services
Download and Install Google Play Store
Primary Account - Setup Google Play
Launch Google Play and add account
Install MyAppSharer
Install YouTube Kids
Primary Account - Prep Files for Child Profile
Open MyAppSharer
Select YouTube Kids and export to SdCard Download folder
Open ES File Explorer
From the left menu, Select Download folder, copy the YoutTube APK, (also copy all 4 Google APKs), select SdCard and paste it at the root of the card
Primary Account - Add Content to Child Profile
From tablet Settings->Profiles and Library, select child profile
Add Content, Share Content
Click Games & Apps
Select Kids Folder, ES File Explorer
Primary Account - Uninstall Play Services
This has to be uninstalled before it can be installed on the child profile
Settings->Apps & Games->Manage All Apps, Uninstall Google Play Services
Child Profile -Google APKs
Switch to Child Profile
Open ES File Explorer
Select SD Card
Install All Google APKs - This should prompt you to allow Unknown Sources from Settings
Install YouTube Kids apk
Open Kids Folder and configure child
Click Manage apps, choose YouTube Kids. Play Store, Click OK
Click on YT Kids
Child Profile - GO!
From Kid Folder open Play Store
Complete Signing in, then exit once at the store
From Kid Folder open YouTube Kids
Complete parent signup and select your Google account to continue
YAY!
Notes:
- I was able to go back to the Primary account and reinstall Google Play Services. It told my to sign in, but then it said the account already existed. Simply backing a step or two let it finish the signup process.
- Play store download does not seem to work under the child profile. Simply use the primary account to download new apps/games, then use MyAppSharer to create APK and repeat the copy and install process for that app.
- I think I got all the steps noted here. If not let me know!
reserving for updates, I guess...
No longer working..at least for me..
Is there a way to have Youtube Kids or other sideloaded apps show up in Amazon FreeTime?
So this method no longer works, sadly. (Fire 10)
- "Kid Folder" no longer populates *any* apps including YT Kids or Play store.
- "GoToApp Full" also suffers from the same problem.
So, you can isntall apps, but you have no access to them from the Freetime app which is what is being used as a launcher for child profiles.
Any ideas?
Same as greenlndr
So this method no longer works, sadly. (Kids Fire 10)
Open ES File Explorer not allowed permission to the storage now.
"kids folder" seems to be dead: doesn't do more than the setup dialogue over and over again.
The "gotoapp full" works for me, but it is horribly designed (black text on black background) and translated... AND there is no parental lock included: your kid can access ALL apps through it through the menues.

Hi,
I got it to work
2 things:
1. Make sure you download the latest GPS APK - the link above is not the latest. (scroll down the page to see the latest one)
2. when prompted to enter pin for kids folder........................don't put anything and it will go through. not happy about leaving the pin blank but the kid will need to figure out you have to press and hold the balloons to edit.
Hope this helps everyone
I’m confused. Can’t get past the ES File Explorer on the kids screen. Asks to be a premium member to install third party applications. No way around it.
I did a search for "kids folder" on my son's tablet and it did not come up! Any ideas what I should do?

The "no parental lock" is my issue as well. The whole idea of the child profile is to lock them out of things you choose. I needed gotoapp to install Khan Academy (only available on GPS-not amazon apps) into my son's child profile (HD8 7th gen). I got it to to work but found that, with a little playing with the menus, my son could easily enable any app I had installed in my parent profile. This defeats the whole purpose of using a child profile.
So, I'm back to square one. How to install apps from the GPS into a child's profile while still having parent control over app accessibility?
Any fix for this yet please guys? I've sideloaded GPS and installed apps through there but frustrating I can't get them into my daughter's profile. TIA
Edit: I'm stuck on the Kids Folder app looping at first opening of the app.
sorry, see below

It works with goto app full (I cannot post links)
english: amazon . com/gp/product/?ASIN=B007TLGPQ6
german: amazon . de/gp/product/?ASIN=B007TLGPQ6
BUT there is NO parental lock in goto app. You can preselect the apps your kids should see in goto app. But If your child is old / smart enough, he/she can find out how to add more apps that you don't want your kid to use. Having said that, the kid is still not able to start all of these apps. It still requires that this app is installed in kids profile.
For example, I go to kids profile, pretending to be the child. Starting gotoapp, adding Silk Browser (even my dad didn't want me to use it). Then I start Silk Browser, but it will close immediately. Because it is not installed in the kids profile.
Antoher example. If the kid adds settins in gotoapp, he/she can start android settings. Play around.
So it's still kind of restricted, not the perfect way though.
For me it's ok until there is a better solution.
Update: I realized that screen time is not reduced, if you use sideloaded apps in freetime. So this is a big disadvantage.

Advert Disclaimer but there's a new app launcher for the Kindle Fire called RocketApps which has PIN code protected settings and can be used on the Kids Edition with FreeTime too. You can find it in the Amazon AppStore. #Ad #Advert

Is the in freetime configured time periode elapsing when the kids uses the apps via the launcher (RocketApps)?
So say I configured 30 Minutes and my kid is going to start apps via RocketApps. After 30 minutes is it over or is it so to say infinite?

Thanks for your question about RocketApps Teoman79.
Whether the FreeTime parental controls apply to an app is not connected with how the app is launched or installed. It is only dependent on whether the app has been added to the list of allowed apps in the Amazon parents dashboard. All FreeTime parental controls will apply to an app which is on the allowed list if it is launched through RocketApps. There are also Amazon apps installed in the Kindle Fire Kids profile by default which are not on the allowed list – Amazon Music for example. If you launch Amazon Music without adding it to the allowed list then the time-based parental controls do not apply.
If you want to add time-based parental controls for apps that are not on the FreeTime allowed list then you could try using an additional parental control app. One example is "Limitly" which is free and can be sideloaded. You will need RocketApps to launch and configure Limitly. Like RocketApps, Limitly is protected using it's own PIN code. Hope this answers your question and helps.

If sideload an app on the kids side It will not show up and my son has absolutely no way to access it.
Does Rocketapps see these sideloaded apps and give him access to the sideloaded apps?, or is the launcher only for apps installed through the amazon store?
Just want to make sure before paying for the app. Everything I seem to try is not working for me.
Edit:
I also want to confirm, this app only allows access to the apps that I choose?? Apps I don't want my son to use will not be accessable?
The last time I used one of these launcher apps my son was able to get into the settings menu and accidentally formatted the tablet!!

Sorry to hear about your formatting incident, that was particularly unfortunate! Yes, RocketApps should see all apps regardless of how they were installed. If you find an app that doesn't show up in RocketApps then please do let us know via the email link on the Amazon AppStore listing. And yes, RocketApps only enables the selected apps to be launched. The RockeApps PIN code is needed to alter the list of the apps. Please also note that, as mentioned above, the Amazon FreeTime time limits become "soft" limits with apps that have not been installed via the Amazon parental controls. That means the timers do not interrupt a running application. If "hard" time limits that do interrupt a running app are important to you then you could look at installing an additional parental contol app alongside RocketApps. Hope that helps.
Hi,
RocketApps has better graphics than GotoApps.
But it`s not working for me.
No one of the Apps installed via Google Play on my "adult" profile is shown on the RocketApps on the kids profile.
Could you help me?
Thanks
Something was not right, for me, when scrolling in browsers and play store. It was laggy as hell. In other apps like facebook, tidal, instagram, youtube it was fluid and fast. But not on browsers. Tried all, chrome, opera, firefox, bromite, but all was stuttering like crazy. Play store also. I tought there are few rougue apps, twilight theme, fluid nav gestures and smart files manager, but I was so wrong. I also blamed the LG UI skin, but again was so wrong! So how did I resolved?
Guide - possible for any LG out there:
1. Remove SIM
2. Factory reset your phone in the way that doesn't require Internet to go through activating the phone. If you cant do this, it will fail. You should NOT put the email account. (I did reset from phone settings, not by keys. Also remove phone security such as pin, password, face id etc for this to work - just select unlocking the phone by sliding up)
3. DO NOT connect to internet, do not insert SIM.
4. Settings - apps - show system apps also.
5. Disable, remove permissions, set modify system setting to NO and draw over other apps to NO for all korean bloatware (screenshots attached) and for Google play services, google play store, google, and google service framework.
You must do this for each app. Example in screenshots.
6. Connect to wifi. Do not put your email in play store or gmail. Not yet.
7. As soon as connected slide down the notifications pannel. A pop up will apear after few seconds with Google trying to update some libraryes!!! Hit CANCEL!!!
8. Restart and connect with your email on Play Store. Disable asap app updates.
9. Your contacts won't sync now. Don't worry, its normal, you just removed some permissions.
10. Update and install all your apps from play store.
11. Re-enable that 4 google apps, give permissions to all for contacts, phone, wifi etc, enable also draw over other apps and modify system settings for these apps.
12. Insert SIM.
Enjoy! Hope it works for you all, V40, 30, G8, G7 etc
Weird, but its like I have stock vanilla now. Rocket!
It seems that with every restart this rogue korean app pop up asking for access, even though i have disabled and removed all of its permissions. Attached screenshot.

Hi! Does this really fix the problem? I'm having similar behavior and I think it's no normal. I will try this to see if this fix it.
Which bloatware I should disable and which I should not? Korean version. Thanks
