Hello,

I have a question.

I have installed Google Play Store 3.10.14 no update and no restrictions without installing a modded GoogleServicesFramework.apk, and My Google Play Store doesn't seem to update, and that's what I want.

Is it necessary to install a modded GoogleServicesFramework.apk? If I don't install it, are there any functions I will be missing?
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
The modified GoogleServicesFramework.apk is only required for the DPI modified Play Store. If all you want is a Play Store that won't update, then you won't need to do anything to GSF.
[Android Apps and Games] natezire71:
You need both. If you don't install the GSF.apk then it won't work.
[Android Apps and Games] 3to4:
Thanks for your comments. Could you please tell me what won't work?

I have already downloaded and installed some software, and the Play store does not update. So for me everything is working...
[Android Apps and Games] natezire71:
Then I don't know. I guess you got lucky or something. I don't think it will last forever though.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
He has not changed the default DPI settings in build.prop, so there is no need to modify GSF. The only time you want to modify GSF is when you want to hardcode the DPI so certain applications are not removed from the Play Store when you edit build.prop.

version 4.2.3 is out
[Android Apps and Games] djenis:
I have this problem with all google play store versions
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
I'm curious if you are running a new version of Android with the new security patch that prevents us from being able to modify apk files and keep the original signature.

That recently patched security hole reported by Bluebox is probably going to cause a big problem for us if we want to modify the market but still let it communicate properly with GSF.
[Android Apps and Games] djenis:
Any fix for this? I have used market enabler, but no luck :(
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
What will probably have to happen is that we won't be able to reuse the original signature of the Play Store and this will break the ability to purchase programs. The Play Store can't communicate with GoogleServicesFramework.apk when the signatures don't match.

If we sign the modified Play Store apk with other keys, all of the functionality should still work except the ability to make purchases. Try resigning one of those Play Store packages with the test keys and installing normally. You will have to first completely remove the Play Store from your device in order to install the same package signed with different keys.

Can someone tell me of an app that you cant install from market with non standard dpis?

Cause i've been around 20 hours on 280 in the stock 4.3 with no other mods, and i still can install everything i try to.

Did google just gave us a gift? It's just taking too long for the change to kick in?

Edit: They definitely change something. I did a clean flash with the dpi changed before booting through script, and market installs everything just fine.

They finally stopped bugging the dpi changers.
[Android Apps and Games] JulianPaoloThiry:
That security patch does not affect apk files modified in the way we have always been doing it. Rather, it affects specialized .zip files with more than one entry for a given file. The hack being patched is essentially this - all original files are present in the .zip, but extra files with the same names as the originals are also present. The ZipFile/ZipEntry code by default verifies the signature of the first entry, which is correct, then actually uses the second entry, which is the hacked one. The patch to fix it throws an exception if there exists more than one entry with the same name.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Thanks for the good explanation. I understand better now. I'm glad this will not be a problem.

Thanks.

I installed the Vending-4.3.10.noupdate.norestrictions.dpi160.nosig-aligned.apk on my device, but when I try to download an app, that is restricted to other devices, I get the error "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found." Other app downloads, that are not restricted to specific devices work though.

It looks like there are other restrictions on the server side that can't be affected by the modified apk.

When i replacing phonesky.apk with "Vending-3.10.14.noupdate.nosig-aligned.apk" after renaming , its force closes every time when i try to open market . But if i delete phonesky.odex everything working ok . Is is ok ? Why ?
[Android Apps and Games] hadi_rena:
Probably your ROM is odexed. From my limited knowledge any odexed ROM will have some_name.apk and their some_name.odex and these odex file are optimized package for respective apk file. Therefore if you want to change the apk file you must remove both file and replace it with new apk.

Now about the new apk without odex file, does it not optimized ? does it slower than odex file ? It's doesn't have significant improvement IMHO it's just affected boot time

CMIIW
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
The versions of the Market with the "no restrictions" patch applied should allow you to view all of the applications in the market, but, in order to download and purchase them, you will also have to get past all the server side restrictions (if you are outside the country).

I believe that the server side of the Market checks what your IP is and what your sim card ID is, although I have never tried it.
[Android Apps and Games] isaiahhhhh:
I was wondering if I could get your permission to incorporate this into a rom i'm building for the Kindle Fire, i'm still on the edge if I want to take the plunge into releasing my own version of a rom however I would love to incorporate your market modification into the rom, I would of course credit you with the market modification.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Yes, no problem. Everyone is free to do whatever they want with these files. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] xeigen:
Yea, after a few reboot it will report incompatibilities again..After you clear cache and data, do you regain compatibility immediately? as for me, it took somewhere around 3 hours..so after i clear data, i'll open the store and accept t&c then use the phone normally after some time apps will be compatible again..

Update: hmm, this seems to be random..sometimes i regain compatibility immediately after store data is cleared :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
After I reboot, I usually clear the data/cache for the Android Market before I start the Market up again. After that, everything usually shows up immediately and does not disappear until I reboot again. It seems like the more things you have installed, the longer it takes.
[Android Apps and Games] aloy99:
Help! This force closes upon opening the play store D:

EDIT: After clearing my data, the market force closes when I press the "Accept Download" button to start a download ):
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
I think the "cleanest" way to upgrade system files is by using ADB in recovery mode. Often there are orphaned files in the dalvik-cache when system files are copied over while the system is still running. What I would do is, check for orphaned files using Titanium Backup. After checking the system for orphaned files, make sure you have uninstalled any updates that you might have already downloaded. Then reboot into the recovery mode and use ADB to push all the files to the system partition.

adb push Vending.apk /system/app/Vending.apk

note: make sure to "chmod 644 Vending.apk" to set the proper permissions.

Also, what version are you testing?
[Android Apps and Games] Unimaginative:
I'm also having this problem with both the normal 3.4.7 and the 240 DPI 3.4.7 on 4.0.4, even after clearing dalvik cache, pushing and setting permissions in recovery then booting.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Are you using a custom DPI setting? If yes, then does changing the DPI setting back to the default value fix the problem?

Does using 3.5.16 make any difference? I have noticed that some people have unexpected results with specific ROMs. Perhaps you can also try the version with the "no restrictions" patch also applied.
[Android Apps and Games] hth2813:
Hi Tsjoklat, i want to use the old market (not play store, version <= 3.4.4), but i keep updating to playstore. Can you help me, please
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Sure, no problem. I added Vending 3.4.4 in two versions (noupdate and noupdate/norestrictions) to the first page. If you need a special "DPI Hacked" version, just let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] Unimaginative:
Nah, just using the default DPI (240). I actually wanted to test the earlier version specifically as I'm currently unable to view my purchased applications in 3.5.15 or 3.5.16, but could in the old 'Market' (2.3.x) after downgrading Android back to stock 2.3.

I figured it'd probably just be some innocuous difference with my ROM or some such, so no worries ;) Cheers for providing all the .apks anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] rlmaers:
I've removed all updates, stopped Google Play, pushed Vending.apk to /system/app/ and changed the permissions to 644. However, when I open Google Play it auto-updates after a few minutes.

I've got a Galaxy Nexus with ICS 4.0.4 (stock), and used the file named Vending.3.4.7.noupdate.norestrictions.dpi320-signed.apk.

What have I done wrong?

---

I've solved the issue on my own. Here's what I did:

I browsed /system/app and saw an application named Phonesky.apk with the Google Play icon. I viewed the contents and especially the AndroidManifest.xml, which stated that this was in a fact Google Play 3.4.7 (the version which is shipped with ICS 4.0.4). So I force stopped Google Play, uninstalled all updates again, renamed Phonesky.apk to Phonesky.apk.bak (as backup in case I change my mind) and finally renamed the Vending.apk (which I got here and pushed earlier) to Phonesky.apk. That solved it straight out. :)

Thanks for the modification. Now I can enjoy my Galaxy Nexus with lower DPI. 8)

Play store 3.4.7 mode works fine but 3.5.16 mode dost not work in terms of country restrictions (e.g: google maps does not install because of this item cannot be installed in your country)
[Android Apps and Games] deetailed:
I used the 3.5.16 240dpi on a Nexus S, and the compatibility only lasts less than 30 minutes. When I just changed dpi, 32 apps show up in "My Apps" but the next time I checked it went down to 18. All kinds of hacked Playstores I've tried had behaved similarly though, guess Google just have other measures in place.
[Android Apps and Games] chrlswltrs:
I've tried a few of these with the dpi 240 setting. All of them just keep force closing. Anyone have any advice? I'm on CM9 and have my dpi set at 200 (240 default)
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Before copying the modified version of the Market to your device, make sure you do not have any updates installed. Also, I would copy the files over using ADB in recovery mode (just to be sure no orphaned files are left over in the cache). Also, make sure you do not have another copy of the market running called "Phonesky.apk".
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Does it make any difference using 3.4.7? Also, I always clear the cache/data in the market right after I reboot, otherwise I am usually missing applications in the list. Although, in my experience, the only time applications are not visible in the list in the Market is right after I reboot and have not cleared the data/cache of the Market yet.
[Android Apps and Games] chrlswltrs:
I actually got everything working. I had to uninstall the market using titanium, then install the modified one, then fix permissions, then clear dalvik and reboot. Now everything is working and all my apps are showing! :-)
[Android Apps and Games] skeletonboy:
i can confirm that 3.4.7noupdate and 3.4.7noupdate+norestrictions240dpi breaks app purchase. receiving this message: "an error occurred. please try again". i tought it was related to the no restrictions mod so i tried no update only,but i get the same result. whenever i switch back to the official market (3.5.16) it all works again.

it might really be that the problem lies in the vending.apk signature.
[Android Apps and Games] gorast358:

Is this for getting paid apps for free
[Android Apps and Games] rovo89:
Not at all. That would be piracy, which is strictly forbidden at XDA.The patches in this thread are only useful if Play Store thinks your device is incompatible with some apps (e.g. because you have set a custom DPI).
[Android Apps and Games] android404:
I assume making apps available in countries not intended by Google or the developer would be illegal too?
[Android Apps and Games] rovo89:
I don't know, but as far as I know, Google has meanwhile blocked this on their servers, which would make it impossible for any modifications of the app to work around it.
[Android Apps and Games] Anubhav Agrawal:
nah,you're thinking wrong...

some apps are sometimes blocked in specific country or if they are available they are incompatible with your device,so by modifying your Google play a little you can easily get those apps.

now,paid apps is warez and its cheating the developer,or robbing him of his money(well in a kind yes)

you can always check your law though,in case the app violates something and is forbidden by it,in that case it will b illegal.. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] rubin110:
I recently switched from Tweaked to CM11 M2 on my Note II. I've specified a 240 DPI through build.prop, and now am having an obnoxious time getting the Play Store to act nice. With some fiddling I some how got the device into a state to display both version of the Amazon app (mobile and tablet, which is how I'm testing this). I had to factory wipe and start fresh after screwing up some other settings. Sadly I haven't been able to get the device back into a state to display both version of Amazon in the app store.

Currently I've setup the "All apps in Play Store" Xposed module, and have tried various settings, none of which seem to bring up the tablet version at all, though ideally I would like to see both. Is there any way I can have my cake? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] rubin110:
Hurm, after a couple of reboots while twiddling other things, all of a sudden the Play Store is listing both version of Amazon. Surprise surprise.
[Android Apps and Games] alterechtschreibung:
Some questions...

- How to be sure that an app is not manipulated? If there is no general way to figure it out...is there a list of md5 hashes for the untouched Google Play files and other GAPPS?

- How to stop Google Play Store to install Play Services? How can the interactions of Google Play Store with Play Services be prevented in a more recent version of the Google Play Store? Google Play 3.8.15 was the last release before Play Services appeared. Google Play 3.8.17 was the version which later delivered the Play Services to the devices.

Edit: The two ways I'm aware of to prevent the installation of Play Services have the drawback that Google Play still downloads Play Services to the device.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
As far as I know, there is no general list of md5sums to reference for applications (although it would not be a bad idea to have such a database). The only way really to tell if an application contains modifications is to download a copy from a trusted source and then use that source to compare with other sources. To actually see the code that was changed in the modifications, you would have to decompile the apk files and compare them with a trusted source with a diff tool.

diff -ruN /path/to/original/decompiled/files /path/to/new/decompiled/files

You will need to use a version of Google Play that does not automatically update the programs that are installed on your devices. The latest versions of Google Play should give you an option to turn off automatic updates.
[Android Apps and Games] alterechtschreibung:
That doesn't turn of installation/download of the Play Services. There is likely a variable (or several) in the code. Like the one you detected to turn off auto updating of Google Play. I thought you'd have an idea in this regard.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Without combing through the code, the easiest solution would be to use an older version of the Play Store. I'm still using version 3.4.7 because it doesnt try to replace any of the older google applications with the newer ones (ie; replace talk with hangouts, etc.) and it lets me modify the market links with Titanium Backup. Any version of the Play Store past 3.4.7 will not let you modify the market links with TiBackup.
[Android Apps and Games] alterechtschreibung:
The new versions are really nice. Does 3.4.7 install Google Play Services or not? If not, it'll be a challenge to find out the latest version that does not, maybe 3.8.15.

Edit: What's you Android version?
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
3.4.7 does not install anything without you telling it to.

edit: Im using 3.4.7 on CM7 and CM11.

edit2: If you also have TiBackup and Google Play 3.4.7, then you can detach applications from the market and they will never update. This is how you can pin a specific version of an application without being bothered by an update notice.
[Android Apps and Games] alterechtschreibung:
Thank you. Do you know the version number where this behavior changed?
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Well, 3.4.7 is the last version that lets you manually attach and detach applications from the market with TiBackup. So, I would have to say that any version of the Play Store past 3.4.7 would not give much control over what you want to install or pin.
[Android Apps and Games] alterechtschreibung:
Thank you. So no books, no music,..., no wishlist.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
The only Google Play service that I use is Google Play Store 3.4.7. All the rest of the Google Play services like Music, Books, etc, I do not have installed. Most of the Google services don't work in my region, so I took them out.

Books are still available in 3.4.7.
[Android Apps and Games] alterechtschreibung:
I only use the Play Client to buy the music. I download the mp3 in the browser and play it with the lovely VLC player on Android.
[Android Apps and Games] alterechtschreibung:
If the 4.3 GAPPS are combined with an old Play Store, it works, but it is not possible to install paid apps. Even if you already paid for. Do you know the reason why? Do you also use the old services framework and login framework, etc.? If yes, is this necessary?
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
You might be right. The last version of gapps I actually tested on was with 4.2.2 framework. I'll do more testing with newer gapps, but it wouldn't surprise me much if it was somehow now disabled.
