Play store orders order

Hello guys,
Surely this question has already been made, but due to the common keywords I get too many records out of a search, so I will ask again...
Since a bit, when we go to the play store's installed apps history, we don't get only the ones we paid for, but every single app we installed on each of our phones phone with our account.
Is there a way to know only the apps we paid for? I dont like to use titanium backup since when I do a factory reset I prefer reinstalling apps from scratch, but scrolling through that neverending list to chease the apps I bought is a pain!

I would like to know it too, or at least being able to sort apps by type (paid or not). But I'm afraid it's not possible ATM.
It's really a PITA to reinstall apps since that change, especially when your previous position on the list is forgotten each time you install an app and you've got to scroll down again to your next app

You can't sort by it, but it isn't hard to find. Go to the settings link and then my orders and devices. The my orders tab has a price columm.

Is there anyway to remove an app permanently from my app?
There are some apps I tried but don't wanna use anymore but it still appear in the list and scrolling in that long list to find an app I need to reinstall is quite hard

As far as I know, there is no way. I confirm that trying new apps scares me, since I know that they will just make that long list grow!!

it maybe no way..

So frustrated by this, I have hundreds (most of them no longer in use) of apps listed under "My orders" with no way to sort them by price.
How am I to find my paid for apps Google?
I think we all should send a request to Google to fix this.

You can still use TiBu to restore the apps and no data. That's pretty close to scratch.

Essential apps?

Just got mine today! Any essential apps I should be aware of?

This question is like asking what toppings you should get on a pizza... everyone has a different answer. There have been several articles written on this subject, Google them and read for yourself, but here are some consensus (not saying I agree necessarily):
Nova Launcher - for me, an absolute must! the Pro version with Tesla Unread Counts plugin, and throw in an icon pack of your choice
Evernote - eh, everyone uses it, except me.
Swift Key or Swype keyboard
ES File Explorer
Accuweather
Starbucks/Caribou or your local area coffee shop loyalty app
Google Drive
Google Keep
Textra or Chomp
Soundhound or Shazam
Amazon/eBay or other shopping app you use
Zedge
Zip Code Tools
Airdroid
Spotify/Pandora
NoLED (since our phones do not have a working LED notification)
Feedly (RSS feed reader)
Mint Personal Finance
Twitter/Facebook or other social media app
Pushbullet

Essential .... some like Pornhub or Redtube.... Yeah baby .... Fap fap fap .... Ja ja ja

Software (ease of use, features, etc)

When you hand your phone to granny to take a photo of you, can she get the job done? Rate this thread to express how you deem the Xiaomi Mi 5's camera software. A higher rating indicates that the software is easy to use, fast, uncluttered, and inclusive of advanced features for when you need them.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

The native ability to prevent apps from auto starting is a real battery life saver. It allows you to use Facebook and Messenger without chewing up your battery when you put the phone down.
MIUI has a love/hate relationship with users outside of China, but it's so good looking you always want to go back to it.

I like how MIUI handle apps permission, with complimentary to Marshmallow system.
But if you use their non-global ROM, it is really annoying to not being able to sync your Google's contact and calendar.
I do understand that this is China's official policy, so either you work around it (using non-google contact and calendar account) or you switch side and use MiCloud apps.

Sorry but what are you talking about?!
You can download an app called "google installer" from the Xiaomi app store. From within that app you can download most services/apps related to google!
My wife has a xiaomi minote, still on original chinese rom, and it has all google services running including contact's and calendar's sync.

Which version does she use?
When I used the original 7.2.4 global ROM that came with my Mi 5 (64 GB), the sync worked. But after I changed it with 7.2.12 china ROM, it doesn't sync calendar and contact anymore. I have tried to flash/install latest sync adapters, but those 2 just won't sync.
I also found google installer "fixer" for apps updating issue but did find any for fixing the contact/calendar sync issue.
My Mi 5 has actually been returned to seller because it suddenly died and cannot be charged. I can flash 7.2.13 china ROM, 7.2.4 global ROM, and 6.3.17 dev ROM via fastboot, but it just won't turned on.

I'm having more issues than i can count with the software...
Dont get me wrong, the phone is great, but the software is just... annoying.
First, app chrashes and i mean allot, facebook, snapchat pretty much everything.
Then there's the fact that some apps (like snapchat) wont show notifications when i get a new snap, i use the chinese rom as of right now, and im hugely dissapointed :/
Good phone with half baked software i hope these issues will be resolved

Too much heating issues and then my phone has a lot of random freezes and >2 gb ram is always in use due to some reason. The software is turning out to be a major setback and I wish I had purchased the moto x pure instead. Waiting to root and flash CM. Hate to see SD820 going to waste

After some time i got myself in an apk install frenzy. So if you can, and still have the problems with sync,
reflash the rom you prefer
Follow the steps mentioned with the mi app store. (Search for Google, click the blue paw with du in it)
Install and let it run.
Then check the permissions and make sure all Google services and apps have permissions.
What made my calendar sync appear, was installing Google calendar! Removed it after my miui calendar synced with Google
I got it working on all three miui roms. (Dev, china,global.)
Good luck

Many issues can be resolved with changing permissions and notification access.
True it's annoying to not have apps automatically do what they should, but once you got the permissions sorted, and the notification access running properly, check battery saving and background data settings.
No app crashes, no sudden freezes, nothing at all on my mi5 32gb, with Chinese dev rom.
But i had to do a little tweaking [emoji1]

What exactly did you change in the permissions and notifications?

Well to get my syncing going on, permissions like access to accounts by Google apps, reading contacts info etc. Notifications access for whatsapp, inbox and such.
I still have a delay in some apps like Viber and whatsapp, but hey, got my bootloader unlocked going to cm13 now.
Not worrying about miui restrictions anymore.

@gazzacbr i forgot, i have xposed download redirection module, and xposed download2sd too, none seems to react to this event.

Hi, not sure what you mean. When i click on any file link i get a choice of ADM or gello mod. I click ADM and 'just once' (sometimes I change my mind) and ADM pops up. Clear the browser defaults?

UC Browser and Dolphin Browser have their own download managers.
You could also try Download Accelerator Plus.

I use "Just Browser". It has decent built-in download manager.
For download accelerator, I heard good things about "Loader Droid download manager" combined with "LD Ultimate Link Interceptor".

Thanks, but, i have multiple browser here, all good, i was interested in a chrome variant named Yandex Browser, just because this browser install addons from firefox,chromestore,and opera addons sites all together, in one on mobile browser, but the downloader crashed my interest i am not interested in third browser or third downloader, i was interested how to brake the download intent on chrome (s) , without extensions on androed.

I was interested on addons feature, that none of browser haves.

I have had experience with similar phones, I can relate to it. If you dont mind me asking why do you need Samsung messages, contacts, etc. You can just export or backup and transfer. I would advise not to mix up app data across different brands. Unless it is just temporary.

I love using samsung application because this phone came with swift keyboard which is too bad for me. I love samsung apps user interface. I only need this apps for use. Not for backup and restore. At least i need one application that is SAMSUNG MESSAGES.

Samsung's apps are designed to work with Samsung's Touchwiz launcher that is installed on all Samsung devices. These apps will only work with Samsung's Touchwiz launcher. If you want to use Samsung apps on a non-Samsung device, you can try porting the apps to work on your device, you may have to port the Touchwiz launcher to work on your device so that the Samsung apps will work.
It won't be easy by any means. It might be best for you to find apps that are similar in function as alternatives instead of Samsung's apps.

I believe you are going to regret that very much, I can't believe you want to do that just for a simple messages app. You Samsung Kies or wondershare or whatever to move you messages. If you use the "Samsung" messages app that might be quite deceitful, might be worse than rooting the phone. Samsung will pissed.

Hello, it is posible to install Huawei Camera app on samsung phone?

It might be possible if you use a camera app from a Huawei device that has the same hardware architecture as the Samsung device that you want to use the Huawei app on. If it is possible, you will have to port the Huawei camera app to work on the Samsung device, you will have to port the camera to work with Samsung's TouchWiz launcher. How to port the app and what changes you need to make, I do not know, I've never ported an app, I just know it can be done and has been done with other devices.
