Play core app - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have my phone rooted and I want to get rid of some core apps like Google Earth... Is there an app to erase them apps or another way?

best bet is freeze them with titanium backup. That way when you realise you broke something, you just defrost it rather than having to reflash a rom

Transferring from Nexus S to G2X

All I have to do to keep my apps, is to use Titanium Backup? Anything else I need to do? I'm going to backup over to laptop to make sure nothing goes bad.

Dont back up system apps! that makes everything go bonkers !
Yup, no system apps. But my regular apps can be restored with data?

Absolutely, did it when I came from a Vibrant. Just copy the Titanium Backup Folder and move it to the built in memory on the G2x.

[Q] Force app to link to Market?

Is there any way to force an app to make a link to its page on the Android Market? Just wondering. A free way would be preferable.

With Titanium backup... long tap on the app for unlink.
If you want link the app in the market then you can choice "Market doctor".
bye
Need Pro version of Titanium Backup to be able to use Market Doctor. No free method?

Do you mean in code?
This is the link to your app i think market://details?id=*
replace the * with your app. e.g., mine would be market://details?id=com.TEST.android.lvh
No I mean like forcing the app to show up in the My Apps list in the Market app. So no free method huh. Well I've been meaning I get Titanium Backup Pro for quite a while now...

Unable to use Facebook on TB with latest app release

Now I am having this issue with my Thunderbolt with the latest FB update. On WIFI no issue, but no go on 4G, wifes HTC Rezound has no issues with the updated version either. This is very frustrating for sure. I have uninstalled the app, cleared cache, pulled battery, etc. I have reported to FB too, but wanted to see if others here are having same issues.
Here's what works for me, I NEVER use the facebook app, I delete it from my phone completely and log on to facebook mobile with my brower and then add it to my bookmarks.
Interestingly enough mine is actually working better than it has been in a while. The only issue I have is when my 4G flutters up and down. I am currently unrooted and stock as if my 4G keeps having this issue I am going to be doing some yelling down at Verizon.
Have you tried using another app like Friendcaster?
Remove, install older version from backup, disable auto update.
Backup often! Airdroid is the bom for that.

Are you rooted and using a ROM? Might be ROM related. I know this is the first time Facebook has worked for me this flawlessly.

Thanks for the replies, not rooted - i didn't have the back up so I'm SOL and will try friendcaster.
Is it legit for me to dropbox it and share?

Backup App of Choice

So I've been using Titanium backup for as long as I can remember, but I've been reading about Koush's Carbon Backup and am curious of any of you have experience with it and if you recommend it over TiBu. I have the free version and love the UI but am hesitant to pull the trigger on the premium. Your thoughts?

Love the wu- tang avatar.
Titanium here but carbon looks good. No root too, I bet a ton more people will use it. Koush is a good and very smart dev.
Here's a funny little story about him.

There is also super backup and clean master.
Does anything offer flashable zip like Titanium Backup?

Never had and issues with Titanium. Does a perfect job. The batch function is worth the little money to invest for the pro version

YouTube

I am using a new nexus 5 which I bought recently and I'm having this problem with YouTube app that voice search is not starting a search on it I to manually type words but on Google now and other apps its fine I'm using non rooted stock rom

Voice search isn't working on my YouTube either so you aren't alone. It acts like its listening then does nothing after I speak to it. Probably just the app though because my nexus 5 is a few months old
