[APP] GooglePlay 3.9.16 Remove Entries From All Apps and more!!

Google Play Store 3.9.16 - Remove Entries From All Apps, Keep Track Of Position In Lists, Expandable Notifications, And More
Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Apps/Games, News
​
Google just started rolling out an updated Google Play Store version 3.9.16 that follows the previous version 3.8.17 from August. Good news, everyone - we've already got our hands on the APK for you to install manually thanks to our loyal tipsters.
What's New
The most notable and immediately apparent new feature is the long overdue ability to remove apps you've previously downloaded from the All Apps list. If you like to try a lot of apps, that list is likely very cluttered. With the new Google Play, you can trim it to your heart's content.
Update #1: You can multi-select by long-pressing any app in the list and then tapping more apps, then delete them all in one go (added 2 new screenshots demonstrating it).
Update #2: The new Play Store now keeps track of your location in lists, including My Apps and All Apps, so when you click into an app and back, it drops you into the same spot. I had variable luck with this, and it didn't seem to work in All Apps at first, but I just reproduced it on both the EVO LTE and the Nexus 7. Brilliant.
Update #3: The notification icon that shows up when you have app updates has changed, and notifications are now expandable. I've added more screenshots showing the differences.
Update #4: The notification icon after installing an app now shows the app icon instead of something generic.
The size of the Play Store APK actually went down, so Google must have trimmed some extra fat. We're still digging through everything - in the meantime, check out the screenshots and grab the new version from our mirrors.

for me it works (4.0.4)
have you done it as described ?
long press on first app, so it´s marked, then short press on further apps

works for me im on SGS II GT-I9100 on CM 10-20121011-NIGHTLY-i9100

Works for me too on SlimBean 2.6

About time they started doing something about that list, but ...
Google need to implement features to be able to sort lists, especially that All Apps list. In the past it used to be sorted by the date the app was last installed, but now it is on the date when the app was first ever installed on the account, which is annoying.
Sometimes when I do a full wipe, I like to do fresh isntalls of all my apps, and the All Apps used to be ready handy for that as all my recently installed apps (and most requently used) will be at the top and all the apps that I installed and removed and never used again would be at the bottom. Now its just a pain trying to scroll through that entire list. An option to sort it how I like would be priceless.

Multi dpi compatible?? I'm planning to use it on 208 dpi

[APP] Nova Launcher Beta (for 4.4.2 with KitKat look)

This the best Launcher I have ever used, fully customizable and looks just like KitKat works on 4.3 and 4.4.2 aswell.
What I like about it is that you can hide apps in the app drawer, like hide stuff or bloatware you don't use and also rename and change the icon of any app. Also works with transparent status bar and navigation buttons.

Always rated Nova as number 1.

I've honestly tried almost every other launcher out there, including Aviante. I keep coming back to Nova Launcher. The stock launcher has improved some, but there are still a few things I miss from Nova. The first thing is the pop-up when you long hold on a app icon. That pop-up has "Uninstall" right there, so I don't need to view the App Info just to uninstall it. I can also remove the icon without having to drag it to the top of the screen. Second thing is that other settings such as Wallpaper is within a long-hold + tap's reach. I can also add multiple app icons to the desktop whereas I can't with the default launcher.

Ported Launchers that works on N7 2013

I know some of you are against changing the stock/vanilla android look, but for those who have tried any launchers that have been ported from other devices like Samsung, LG, Sony...
Wich launcher (share links if possible) have worked on your device?
Share your screenshots with the launcher in use and necessary steps to look alike.
The only decent launcher that i've been able to find working is the LG G2 launcher

It looks ok, but the icons are way too small and the weather widget size (4x2) is smaller than home grid size (5x5) so it does not center.

The TouchWiz launcher from the S4 also works. The launcher will be very small, but it can be enlarged using X posed Framework + App settings.

I used XPeria launcher but kinda lagged on transitions. Also tried MIUI launcher but crashes on 4.4.2. Other than that it's smooth, fluid and looks good

Absolutely! Here's what I did. These steps are for those who don't know about Xposed Framework as well.
1. Make sure that Xposed is installed (the framework, not just the apk), download App settings module from the Downloads section within the app. Go back to the modules section, and activate the checkbox for App Settings.
2. Reboot. (It is recommended that you reboot for the framework to be installed for the changes to take effect. While this is true, I reboot after my modules are downloaded/activated. If not, they would require a second reboot as well.)
3. Navigate to "TouchWiz home" in App Settings. Switch it from Off to On, and change the DPI value to a resolution that you find suitable, and hit save. I use 460 for this launcher, and various values for different apps that I find is a waste of screen real estate (like 280 for the Play Store, and most of the Google Apps).

After the update you can't use a third party launcher as default home screen however you can install it and run it but not use it as default. sideload launcher still works fine!

Sorry, can you elaborate here. How is it not possible? Do you mean an alternative launcher can't force itself as the default, and therefore runs fine but as soon as you press the home button Leanback kicks in again? Or do you simply mean the likes of HALauncher no longer appears as a Leanback tile once installed? It will be easy to fix the latter.
Either way I'll simply do what I do now once Marshmallow is released, namely freeze Leanback launcher and remove it from the equation. Awful thing which offers little to nothing in the way of customisation. I'm surprised it hasn't got an Apple logo on it, like most things Google do these days.

after installing the latest Android launcher you can install other launchers like HALAUNCHER and you can open it but you cannot set it as default launcher when pressing home button

[ICON PACK]
After hours of work, Complete One UI icon pack have just updated to version 2.0. New version brings the interface closer to One UI look and also add more than 100 hundred app icons. Enjoy!
Changelog:
New Complete One UI app logo
Redesign interface follow One UI style
Add more app icons
[SUBSTRATUM]
[UPDATE ver 2.1]
Changelog:
Separate Mods and App Icons to two different apk
WARNING: Uninstall all the icons before install this update
I have just updated the Substratum too - add more app icon. With substratum, there are some bonus overlay, try if you like it, but not guarantee it will work on all devices. If it does not work and crash, go to overlay manager and uninstall the overlay.
Substratum cannot change all Samsung system apps (phone, messages, calendar, video, music …) because they are overwritten by Samsung Theme Store, so best way to change these system app is using [THEME STORE] version.
Note: on Pie devices, some app may crash if apply app icon overlay, it may be a bug. I contact Substratum for more information.
For now, we can workaround by install the overlay, then uninstall it, the cache of the icon still there so you can see the icon change in launcher but not system wide.
List some apps may crash on Pie:
airpay
cgv
facer
grab
spotify
discord
pinterest
smartview
soundcloud
twitch
twitter
xda feed
utorrent
[THEME STORE]
Theme store version is only support Oreo or below. Compare to [ICON PACK] and [SUBSTRATUM] version, [THEME STORE] version is the most effective and fast way to apply Complete One UI icon pack.
For Pie, the trail time limited is different with Oreo so new to find a new way to trick it.

[TIPS]
If the icons don't change after install substratum overlays, try to switch screen resolution in display setting to HD+ then re-install the Substratum overlays then switch back to your desired screen resolution.

I may need help for that. I'm not good at build icon pack app for Play Store

Sorry, i can't help with that. I'm not a developer. I have given up as i have seen that i must pay a fee to release a free app on the play store.
However I have found a way for me,to use your icons. I extracted the *.png files and use them as icons with Action Launcher. It seems to work at least for me.

Further development
Hi, really great work with these icons. I was just wondering if you were working on expanding this project into a fully fledged icon pack?

Thanks! I wish that I can turn this to an icon pack. I just good at design in it but not developing. For now just using Substratum to apply the icon, previously I use Samsung Theme, but in Pie the trail not stick so I'm finding solution for that

Hi, thanks for the quick response! I just wanted to let you know that developing an icon pack is not that difficult if you already have the design skills, which you certainly have, as there are plenty of online tutorials that are easy to follow, and an icon pack like this would generate some attention if it was on the play store. Furthermore, you would be able to use the theme.galaxy app to apply the icon pack directly as a samsung theme, removing the substratum issues on samsung. Anyway, if you could find the time to develop this project further, you could also gain some money doing so. I know I would pay for this :laugh:

) Thanks for suggestion. I will do it if I have time. As I say Samsung Theme on Pie having the issue is theme outside the store will be revert after 10mins trail. Even theme.galaxy cannot make it. Oreo is working fine but not Pie. I am on the way to publish Galaxy Theme for this icon pack for Oreo

Looking forward to it! Also make sure to properly set the icon masking on the theme store release if you can so that unthemed apps remain without a white background.

I'm back!
As promise I have just made a very first build of Complete One UI - Icon pack so you can apply it to third-party launcher. Feel free to report bugs
More Icons have just added as well

Wow, thanks for the upload, icons are amazing!
