[Q] completely remove an app from play store?

[OMG_VTEC]

is there any way to actually prevent an app from wanting to update?
everytime i go to update an app, i have to either update all and quickly cancel that app or do them individually
tibu doesnt remove it from the market so...
any ideas?

There is a modified play store app on xda somewhere that disables apps from even checking for updates so there is no automatic d/l's but for the life of me I can find it. I had it on my old d3 that just died but didn't have a backup of it. If u find it b4 I do PLEASE post a link or something

Titanium Backup will do it, but you need the Pro version. ROM Toolbox will also do it.

i have pro, and no it doesnt. its supposed to but it still has the option to update whenever i go into the play store.
you can detach it from the market but it doesnt actually do anything

when you download an app, make sure you do not click the automatic download, and it shouldn't automatically update. IT will ask if you want to, but not do it automatically.

you can also on your phone, slide screen to the "all" page, and right column there is a circle with a dash through (the universal "NO" sign). Click on that and it will remove it from your download history. This may help as well.

Rom toolbox will also let you break links. I have used it to break apps from Amazon to use after I deleted their app. Maybe that app will work. Never tried it to not update an app.

just to clarify, its not setup to automatically download. in the list or available updates, when you select "update all", this is where the problem is. i want to get it out of that list so i can just use that button. rom toolbox requires pro to break market links and i dont want to buy it just for that.
goldsmitht- what is that second thing you mentioned? ive never seen something like that

He is talking about the "remove from my apps" option on the play store, when your viewing your installed apps you can swipe the screen from right to left and you will see all the apps associated with your Google account. There is a little circle with a dash through it like goldsmitht mentioned, you can touch the circle and remove apps from your Google account. But it won't allow you to do it if the app is installed so you would have to save the apk then uninstall the app, remove it from your account from the play store like goldsmitht mentioned, then side load the apk and you will have the app installed and it won't show up in the play store.

Make sure "unknown sources" is checked in settings>security before installing the apk.

The app store will still detect that app the next time he enters the store and put back in the list
