About Market Fixer

!!NOTE!!

Version 2.0.0 Uploaded. I am not sure if Google still have the same bug in Play Store 3.5.15, so I don't know if this will fix your problem or not. Please test and report. Thanks

!!!ROOT REQUIRED!!!

IF YOU SEE MESSAGE LIKE "no such table: android_metadata", then either your market DB is corrupted, or the version is not supported.

This is my attempt to fix the market problem where the "My Apps" section fail to show the Installed and Purchased apps.

What this app does is:
1) load the market database from /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/market_assets.db
2) for each record in there, search market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.whateverpackage.name
3) if the entry doesn't exist in the market, flag it and show in the list
4) user select apps/links to remove
5) remove apps/links selected.

I have tested this app on my Atrix, but I believe it should work on other devices as well.

This is tested with Market (Google Play) version 3.4.4 and 3.4.7.

Required access to SD card as the working folder.

Required Network state to check Internet connection.

Required Internet access to compare records to Android Market and to display ads.

Required Kill Backgroun Process permission to kill the market process after the fix.

Please use the Report function if the app crash. Thanks!

Wow! I was finally able to delete market links for some applications after MONTHS of trying other tools. If you just delete a market link, it will come back after a reboot (at least in my case, on my phone). To delete a link permanently follow these steps: Save the .apk file on your SD card, open Market Fixer (select Toggle Advanced from the menu to display all options), click "Load All Links", select items to be removed, click "Remove Selected Links", then reinstall the .apk file. It will disappear from the Play Store permanently. This method survives a reboot. Thanks!

Did exactly what it was supposed to.. It's been a pain trying to avoid updating Maps to the newest crap version, and keep separate navigation/places. This took it right off the list, and can now "update all" without giving a second glance. Thank you, devs!

Rooted Galaxy Note 2 and your app is checking root access since last 45 minutes. Thanks for wasting my time.

B70%
by B####:

this application is USELESS! already click the button and the store still saying "insufficient storage available" when downloading/upgrading apps

N70%
by N####:

Does the same thing that Titanium Backup does...temp detach. App comes back on reboot.

V70%

Gets the job done properly. Smart, time-saving tool.

Well.. I'm downloading it just now im gonna see if the other people in the comment section is right. I'm gonna try it! Thanks for some advice.

I only wanted to remove the market link - not uninstall the app as well.

N70%
by N####:

The play store kept bugging me to update an app that I hadn't even installed from play store + I hated the new update and wanted to keep the version I had. Thankfully this app succeeded in detaching the other app from the play store so now I can go back to mass-updating my apps, minus the one I didn't want updated. I don't even care if it reattaches after a reboot, ill just run this app and detach it again. Sgh t599n beanstalk ROM w/ kitkat 4.4.2

Then what's the purpose of having this app with root privileges?

E70%
by E####:

It will work, but you have to constantly remove links after each time you run Play Store. It needs the ability to figure out that if you removed the link to an app, you want it to stay removed.

P70%
by P####:

I run some legacy versions of apps Foursquare (before that Swarm nonsense),, Weather Channel, older Google Maps, and a bunch more, on my Note 3 and it's always trying to update the stuff. I didn't even want to see the apps listed in "My Apps" in the store. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. 19,000 stars for this app. A++++++++++++++++++++++++++

doesnt work on android 4.4.2

D70%
by D####:

I use blacked out apps and the Play Store always tries to update them and mess up the theming on the app so now I can manually update and Market links are broke where other apps cost money to break Market links

M70%
by M####:

Market Fixer works perfectly. tried several alternatives that are very broken. I use it to "protect" google maps from the constant idiotic user hostile updates. P.S. pls add a search.

D70%
by D####:

I was wondering if this was going to work because it hasn't been updated in so long. It did work at first but then after a reboot (soft reboot) it came back.

D70%
by D####:

I particularly do not like some MD apps. And others have removed features if updated since new to with Google. So they say you should not update if you want to stay with those features. Problem is then your update all button in the play store becomes useless. This app solves that issue and survives reboots. Thank you for giving my update all button meaning once again!

It might not be pretty, or easy to navigate (use advanced mode!) but I was unable to unlink supersu from the Play Store so it wouldn't update automatically or when I hit "update all". (newest version of that app is broken on my phone, removes root!) Thanks for the useful and free app!

This seems to be the only way to detach Titanium Backup from the Play Store update nags. Works well.

You did what google didn't for a months. A simple and efective fix. Great. Thank you very much :) Update: based on what I see this app is not needed anymore for version 3.5.15 and higher as google finally fixed this problem.

B70%
by B####:

Works on Market 3.7.13 and finally I can remove some regular downloaded apps from the update list in Market (I like to keep an older version of some apps). Titanium can't even get the buggers to disappear, but this worked like a BOSS. Thank you for the Advanced user mode. :o)
