Safely?
I'm looking at taking off Audible and IMDb.
There is no qualified up-to-date list that I know of, but I would think you can safely remove the following apps:
Audible
Facebook (which is just a link I believe)
IMDB
Pulse
Quickoffice
ScoreCenter (if it was installed by default, which I don't believe it is)
I would NOT recommend removing any Amazon/Kindle based apps. Although you could possibly do so, they are tightly integrated into their launcher, and could break other things in their ecosystem.
Thanks for the list(somewhat)
I have uninstalled
Audible
Facebook link
Pulse
Quickoffice
And did not touch any amazon app.
Pulse I actually liked so kept it.
Scorecenter was not installed by default.
Do tell, sir...

Go to amazon.com and log into your account and go to "manage kindle" then on the left hand side down towards the bottom go to manage applications and then you can delete apps from there. Once your done...you hit sync on your kindle and it will refresh.

I used titanium backup to make a backup and then uninstall the said apps using that. The backup also synced to my dropbox just if I need it ever again.

The Kindle Facebook app sucks. It just opens a web browser to mobile facebook.
I found a version of the regular facebook app that actually works great (besides the first post saying there is a newer version of the app but then you click on it and it says it cannot find it in the Amazon App store).
I would like to delete the kindle facebook app but extract the icon it uses as it looks better than the icon the regular facebook app.
I cannot uninstall it from settings-->applications
I did a search with root explorer and found this directory
/data/data/com.amazon.kindle.facebook
but there is nothing in it.
Any idea?
wat about /system/app (or equivalent?)
Try Titanium Backup, it can usually uninstall anything.

Which version of Facebook are you using? The .apk I used consistently gives me this error "[!] Login; An error had occurred during sign in. Please try again later."
Here is the apk I am using. I think I got it in another xda forum for another device. I searched fro facebook tablet.
So the facebook app goes to the m.facebook.com page (which kinda sucks).
The best thing to do is go to your web browser setting and force it to always use desktop web pages, then book mark facebook.com, this is WAY better than any facebook app.

I deleted Facebook and other apps I don't use with Titanium.
I deleted the amazon facebook app with the root exporer (r/w mode) and took the recent facebook app from another android phone. Works perfectly.
So when I go to the market website and click on My Apps it only lists apps up to the 'M's... anything past that I can't see.
I use this page to re-install apps when changing devices / after resets.
Is there any way to see a listing of all of my apps?
Don't know if this helps, but if you install the newest play app (i posted the apk here somewhere), it has the same kinda page now (an all apps installed history), you could install from there?

Thanks, I will check that out! Although I think using a KB/Mouse on my PC would still be more convenient than finger-scrolling and tapping on the phone screen :/
At least that should get me access to everything I'm missing.
My suggestion is,
1. delete market data and cache
2. From settings > sync settings > select google deatails > remove account
3. reboot
4. create your google account again
5. from market, check it again.
Hope this work.
Question - are you using market unlocker?
He's having the problem with the online version of the market, on his computer, not the phone app.

My bad kingdazy.
I've just checked out to find the installed apps from PC.
It seems like there are two ways.
1. from the market home page > My Adnroid Apps (from there we can reinstall the apps) - alphabetical order
(this one shows the history even the apps are uninstalled, those are there)
2. Google account dashboard > Android Market > installed applications (most recent first)
So, if you compare these two lists and if you find anything missing, then you'd better to contact Google support team. If both are the same, maybe there're gonna be none who can help you.
My two cents.
The first list is missing everything after the M's...
The second list has them all though... I'll use that for a work-around for now
I'm having an issue with apps on sd not showing up after a reboot. I have to clear data to get them to show again. This new market is annoying.

I am having the same problem - for me it stops @ the letter H because I have more apps I guess...
I have contacted Google Play support... we'll see...
Title says it all! Some 'friends' installed some inappropriate apps on my phone and while I uninstalled them, they still remain under My Apps - All.
Any ideas? I'm worried that since this is stored on google's side this will be marring my account forever and I would prefer it not to. Searches have led me nowhere.

Deleting apps from My Apps/My Orders
At this time, there is no way to delete records of old apps either on the Google Play website (play.google.com) or from the My Apps section of the Google Play Store app.
We know that some users are looking for a way to delete old apps from Google Play, and we'll certainly take this into account as we work to improve the Google Play experience in the future.

In Short, you're stuck with it, short of making a new google account and re-buying everything there.
PS: That was item #2 in a google search for : google play remove app from my apps
Haha okay thanks. It's all about how you word your searches, I guess. My searches were closer to the thread title.

SOLUTION: remove old uninstalled apps from your Play list
Even though on Google support page the answer is that it still cannot be done I have just done it on my phone.
The Play version that I have is 3.9.16, for Jelly Bean and I'm running CM10 on SGS3.
You need to go to the Play-> all apps and the uninstalled ones have a mark on the right. now you hold the app for a while and it becomes 'marked'.
Marking additional apps is done by short press. when you've all the ones you want to remove from the list in top right corner there's 'remove' button. Press out and voila, your Play list is cleaned up.

I have Google calendar on my phone, even without having the Play Store installed, but I don't use it very much. So, I don't know how it's fairing in light of what's going on with the current Play Store Services update. It's probably related to that. I'll just post what I've been posting on other threads, because it's most likely being caused by this anyway.
This is an Android issue not a Fire Phone issue. See this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/general/google-play-services-crashing-t3084355 Further tinkering with your Fire Phone will not fix it. If you go to the google play services page of the play store, you'll see that the app is awash in 1 star reviews from people with lots of different phones. Google forced an update, and it broke stuff.

Any type of odd behavior you're seeing from any Google apps at this time is most likely due to the above.
No, that's not related to Google, I think.
The Fire Phone OS doesn't seem to have the feature to include shared calendars and so they won't be displayed in the original Amazon calendar (and any other calendar) app (in the Amazon app store).

Ah, I see. Welp, I can't help you with that then. Like I said, I don't really use it much. For me, it's primarily a glorified placeholder for collections of pre-made calendar add-ons (e.g., American/International Holidays, Hebrew Calendar, etc.). Sorry.
Nobody out there with the same problem?

That f***ing works! Awesome!! Thank you so much!!!
So Gmail started this thing (not sure when), where it uses a built in browser to handle all links and URL. I assume this is based off chrome, and that's fine if it worked.... BUT IT DONT!
Half the time I get this (see pics) when trying to open a link, and when it does manage to load a page, objects/links all over the page refuse to work. This sucks as I use my Gmail for ALOT of things.
I've tried long holding the links and selecting "open in browser" but I get this stupid built in thing again. Sometimes I can copy the link and open and paste in chrome, but sometime it will just copy the image instead of the link so I end up downloading a picture of the link I want to visit.
I've tried disabling the browser option in Google settings for Google search, but it seems to not affect gmail.
For example today I got an email saying a bill was due, it had a "click here to pay" link. I click on the link, but only get this continuous loading screen. I tried to "open in browser" same thing. So I tried coping URL and pasting in chrome, but only managed to download "xxxx/xx/x/payment.jpg" I wasn't able to actually visit the link hours later when I was near a PC.
So In short my question is.....
How can I disable Gmail's useless built in browser.
Sorry for repeating a bunch of things.

This is strange. I don't have the option to uncheck, but none of my links open with a built in browser. They all open with full fledged Chrome.

I wonder if this has to do with the default handling of links? As in, under Android Settings, Apps, App Settings, "Browser App".
So I have found out it's a chrome thing, not Gmail. Noticed this when I went to open a link in an app and I got the same window.
I cleared all data from chrome, went to Gmail and tried to open a link, and it presented me with full screen chrome, but after logging back in to chrome and reopening the link in gmail again it gave me that bull crap floating windows thing. It reminds me of paranoid androids halo feature.
Anyways, I can't find anything in chrome regarding this.

Do you use Chrome as your browser, or are you using something else for browsing the web?
OK I think I found what might be causing this issue. Make sure your settings under Developer Settings are the same as mine here:

Chrome is the only browser type application I have installed, and my settings are the exact same as pictured. Sadly I'm still having the problem. I guess I'm going to swap out chrome for another application. Possibly yubrowser or some "Qualcomm optimized browser" to see if it persist.

Is "Android System WebView" frozen in titanium backup for you?
Something interesting. I was browsing this thread and noticed this...
If I scroll down and select the link to download the latest version, I get the windowed thing (see attached pic), but if I select the changelog link or the link to the stable releases, it opens normally.

No it is not. I only use titanium to freeze and defrost my smart watch apps (pebble, martian notifier) so I don't have persistent notifications. Thanks for the help but this is getting irritating.
***************************************
Correction, it is!
However it's weird because I personally didn't freeze it, and it's not allowing me to defrost it. I can see the option "enable web view" in the play store, but when I select it nothing happens and it remains frozen/disabled.

OK I didn't freeze it either, the system does. That's why I'm asking... if it is NOT frozen, then try freezing it and see what happens.

Check my edit above. Titanium is reporting as frozen, and when I attempt to defrost it, it throws a toast notification saying "app was defrosted" but it remains frozen

OK. You want that to remain frozen. I'm pretty sure you need to change the Developer Options I posted earlier in order to actually defrost it, but it wouldn't help you in this situation anyway. I can find a few other threads of people having a similar issue, but with no fix listed.

Yeah that was one of the websites I came across which is why I was asking if your Chrome app was up to date. It's odd that people are experiencing this and not getting it fixed. The thread just dies... I wonder if anyone has figured this out yet.

Doesn't look like it. Well I'm going to keep this updated with any info i find. I may try rolling back chrome a few versions.
It seems I'm also no longer able to open play store links through the play store either, This stupid browser implementation takes it over without asking a thing. No defualts are set, this is taking away some real functionality from my device.

Just received an update in the play store for chrome, taking it and I'll report back.
