Hey guys,
My mom is really scared to use touch phones. I want to give her a phone with only basic apps without any play store in it so that no one else can screw it up easily by installing new apps. You might wonder why would her phone be used by others, in india grand kids play with the stuffs a lot and they know more than my mom knows.
So I tried to download some new apps on my nexus 7, but when I opened the play store it only shows 14 really weird apps, like radar and a third party translator. Even when I search for apps in the search bar it shows up with no results, even though the app obviously exists.
I have tried clearing the cache and data on the store to no avail.

Many times I will go to Google Play, My Applications, and notice that several apps I own have updates. When I send those updates to the Nexus 7, they frequently get the error "application already exists" once they arrive. My question is, how does the Nexus 7's app versions get "out of sync" with the Google Play store?
Sometimes, it can be difficult to find apps specifically for your Android tablet on the Play Store, especially if you’re browsing from the Play Store website.
So I'm from Serbia, and for reasons best known to Google, they won't let anyone from my country buy apps on Google Play. This was easy to circumvent by using proxy servers or VPN, but now (in the last week or so), Google Play won't let me buy apps any more. When I use a VPN (whether on my desktop or my Android devices), Google Play is now showing me only free apps.
I have most of my apps set to automatically update but most do not. I can go to Google Play and see apps waiting to be updated or if I restart the phone some apps will update.
Is there something else I need to do?

I've disabled/frozen most of the built-in apps, using either the disable option in app settings or Titanium Pro. Most of them stay disabled, but a few are getting re-enabled at every restart. Specifically Google Play Books, Movies, and YouTube. It doesn't matter if I disable them in the settings or with Titanium, same thing happens.
IF YOU'RE NOT SURE, FREEZE IN TITANIUM FIRST
