Any way to make Google Play the default store? (Fire 5th Gen)

Hi, first thread and all that - so just a quick question:
Often when I click links (on websites) in Chrome to apps, it wants to take me to the Amazon app store when the link I clicked is supposed to go to the Google play store. Is there any way to change the DEFAULT app store so it always follows the link to Google play rather than Amazon apps?
I rooted my Fire btw (I think so any way - I followed a youtube tutorial to download a few files to install google play), sorry for lack of details rooting is new to me this is my first Android device.
Thanks for any help

I'm not sure which app controls that, but I have most amazon apps frozen with titanium backup pro, and now play store just opens

Thanks. I'm not aware of the titanium backup pro, will it conflict with anything else or do anything that can't be reversed?

There is a couple of options
Free;requires PC/Mac/Linux and root Adb Shell Pm Hide as much bloat and amazon as you can by k3ll0gs
$5.99:App no pc needed, freeze withTitanium Backup PRO Key use app list in
5.0.1 Bloatware & other Safe to remove Apps
both methods have the same result, the app stops running, and can be restarted if needed
as long as you don't stop a system critical app

There are free apps that can freeze other apps. Are they not good in you opinion ?

There are a few free options, I haven't used them, but they should be fine

I installed one of the app freezing apps from google store, but when I tried to freeze an app (the amazon app store) it said I need root access. So obviously I hadn't rooted it, just installed the google play store (never had an android device before so rooting and it's terminology is completely new to be sorry). I followed a tutorial on youtube (I think it was a rootjunky video) and thought I was rooting the device, but obviously I just installed the google app store.
I'm not a techno-virgin, but I think I need to do more research on rooting and see how easy it is to reverse etc, so thanks for your help, but for now I guess I just have to deal with getting defaulted to the amazon app store.

Basically there are two ways to root, right now
Modified Boot.img
Amazon Fire 5th Gen 2015 Root by Awesomeslayerg
Root Video With Launcher changing Instructions by Rootjunky
Custom Recovery Method
[Video]Install SuperSu using a Custom Recovery
Unrooting is can be done from the supersu app that is installed in the rooting process, but unrooting is different than returning to full stock.
To restore full stock see [HOWTO] How to restore firmware on your device + Amazon Firmware by Awesomeslayerg

It would be nice if it was that simple wouldn't it ytsejam! Unfortunately all that does it turn off being able to open ANY external store links, it doesn't then redirect them to the google play store. It would seem the ONLY option is to root your device.

how did you do to delete app shop

I am looking for the same information.
Previously, you just had to Rename /system/app/MarketIntentProxy.apk to something like MarketIntentProxy.bak and you would be able to have apps launch Google Play Store.
On 5.3.1, the apk is not in /system/app/ or may have been renamed?

Region Unlock?

Hey everyone I'm considering installing Xposed on my Nexus 7 2013 (After rooting it) and I wanted to know if there are modules (either to download or preinstalled) to let me download region locked apps on Google Play? I know VPN is an opportunity option, but it only works half the time. Any advice is helpful!

You could try to use Raccoon, which let's you download apps from the Play Store to your PC. It is possible to set up a fake device to download geo-restricted apps (apps that aren't available in your country).

I use Raccoon from time to time, I just didn't know that I could make a fake device profile for geo restricted apps. Is there a tutorial on how to achieve that?

Sure. Check the official Raccoon webpage.

Nexus rom and Netflix

Can someone help point me in the direction of getting Netflix to work on this tablet. Its super irritating that I paid for the tablet, I pay for Netflix and I pay for my internet connection. They block rooted devices? That is bogus.

Download and install from APK Mirror

It's not that simple they block rooted devices now. You have to mask your device im not sure how to because it running 5.1.2 and nexus rom i got there with flash fire. I tried flashing magisk and it screwed up the tablet so bad i had to reflash everything

Strange - the latest Netflix build (V5.2.1 B19115 as of July 15th) downloaded from APK Mirror) works fine with the latest build of Fire Nexus running the latest SuperSU build. What symptoms are you experiencing?

Well I feel dumb. Thanks they have been blocking rooted devices and we could not get it to work and it is delisted in the play store

Yeah, I knew that . You are certainly not the first nor last to equate Play Store listing/delisting with availability/functionality/usability on a particular device, ROM, etc. Mainstream media doesn't help with screaming headlines and inaccurate reporting. Netflix will likely close this hole in a future update (ie: do an actual SafetyNet test vs simply delisting in Play Store). For now a simple download from APK Mirror or other trusted source gets around the 'problem'.

If remote play already saw you're rooted, it'll remember you're rooted even if you unroot. Clear the storage of remote play or uninstall then reinstall it so it has to check again.

Hi my friend! I have tried many times!
1 Uninstalled app,
2rebooted device,,
3 reinstalled app
4 hidden app from magisk
5 hidden magisk
6 open app
Same error!!
I have lineage unofficial custom rom! Nougat 7.1
Galaxy tab 3 8.0

This simulates build fingerprint of Huawei device. My theory is this works then because Huawei messed up with implementing the new SafetyNet checks correctly on this device. This is why Google made a exception to check the old way for devices with this fingerprint. But I am just guessing... Let's see how long this works

The official app don't seem to work for rooted at all.
So go to play store or browser and download a awesome app called "PSPlay". It works for rooted devices and also allows mobile data use if set up right.

It's possible you downloaded the wrong version of the app. If you look at various apps on APKMirror, such as Google Photos, there are many different variants available. You want to use an arm64-v8a version, preferably "nodpi" as that should work with all devices.

For some reason Google made an absurd last minute decision to make 32bit arm apps incompatible with the Pixel 7 at the software level. There is a workaround which I can confirm does work, as I am using it, but to get it to work if you have already rooted your phone with magisk you will have to backup your data and then do a wipe of the device.
The workaround is at this thread

I am trying 64bit versions apk only but those are mod apks for games and I think modded apk Google might have banned installing on Pixel 7/7 Pro

There's a new restriction with Android 13 for sideloaded apps not from Play Store, F-Droid and maybe other stores. I ran into it with an apk from Github. Your error doesn't relate but installing from a file manager is a symptom. In any case, if you think this restriction could be part of your problem search ACCESS_RESTRICTED_SETTINGS for a possible workaround.

@Nnik345 here you can find an answer and imo you should ask related questions better here instead of opening a new thread.
