Thanks to the suggestions from Fnorder, I have re-uploaded all the GSF files on Post #92 and kept the original signing signature from Google. The only extra step I performed on the apks was zipaligning them to 32bit for memory optimization. These apks also include a patch to fix the permissions for GTalk.

Thanks everyone for helping out. :-)

I can't uninstall updates to then install the mod. My phone reboots when I try. Force closing it first doesn't help either.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
It might not be necessary to uninstall anything. Try just replacing GSF.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
Ok I'm giving up on this...currently restoring from nandroid because the system is so hosed even when I push 3.5.19 to the system/app dir in settings it still shows 3.5.16...getting a system error...tried going back to factory files and STILL getting it....so I'm throwing in the hat.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Thanks for trying. I can't understand why it would mess up the entire system though. Did you just try replacing GSF using ADB? What version of Android were you testing?

EDIT: I just tested it by replacing GSF and it does not show up in the Application list. It did not hose my system though. I just put the original GSF file back and it was fine. But, I think I will remove those modified GSF files that I just posted until I can figure out why nothing shows up in the Application list.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
I tested it on the inspire....rom used is in signature.....not sure what the deal was...I know adb push quite well..did the remount....and I'm not saying it's your files...just whatever I did required more of a "reinstall" then expected so I'm gonna stick with standard for now. I even redownloaded all the files to make sure I had clean copies (maybe you should add md5sum's for the files though)

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

Yeah at one point I noticed the google services was not in the ALL list...the specific files I tried were the 240 dpi and the 3.5.19 vending. That should be the most common scenario and possibly the one you should test first?

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

Did you actually reboot under the defective GSF? I think thats the point things went south.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Yes, I rebooted a few times. But, as long as GSF does not show in the Applications list, then its not going to work.. I think I have tried almost every type of signing key possible but still no go. Modifying GoogleServicesFramework is a pain it seems.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Instead of making any changes to GSF, I have forced the original Google signature on the modified Android Market. I have tested these modified Android Market files with CyanogenMod 7.2RC2 and I have also verified it is working with other people. The files, with the "nosig" change below, fix the problem with not being able to make application purchases within a modified version of the Android Market. Thanks for the suggestion, Xeigen.

The only caveat is that Vending.apk must be installed to /system/app/Vending.apk (not the /data partition).

A modified version of GSF is not required for this version (nosig) of the Android Market to function properly.

When you look under settings, apps and go into google play for 3.5.19 does it say 3.6.16 for you? I overlayed the Vending.apk and thats part of my confusion as to why I thought it was "hosed" because the version is not increasing from 3.5.16.

It matches the one in your list.

The app updated itself OTA from 3.5.16 to 3.5.19....in the following screenshots you will noticed that prior to uninstalling updates it showed 3.5.19 but after uninstalling them it showed 3.5.16. If I have YOUR copy of 3.5.19 Vending.apk installed it should show 3.5.19 from the start and NOT be OTA updating.

*update* And to further confuse the issue...I rebooted a 2nd time after wiping updates.....and it now shows 3.5.19 as it should with no "updates" to uninstall...so I don't know if it was the OTA update conflicting with the installed apk or what....so I'll play with it some more.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
I think you might have had a conflict because there were two versions installed.. It should work. Thanks for helping me test.
[Android Apps and Games] Infy_AsiX:
It's working for me now, I can even install apps directly from the store?

Initially if I tried to uninstall the updates or replace Vending my phone would reboot immediately. I didn't want to take the GSF path because of the complexity and complications.

I found a workaround by just running and installing Vending-3.5.19.noupdate.norestrictions.dpi240-aligned.apk. Now usually trying to install an apk for system wouldn't work but somehow here it did. I tried to uninstall the update but there was none apparently. I still couldn't access imcompatible apps with a clear data though.

I renamed and copied the mod to system/app successfully for once. After a reboot and clear data it still wouldn't work. Until a few minutes later it couldn't connect as I had to update Droidwall's firewall setting as it reset with the mod change. Then apps are compatible and furthermore I can install apps straight from the store?

Maybe having installed the mod as an update and then copying to system allowed it to keep the right key?
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
The versions of the Android Market on post #132 with the "nosig" change just add the ability to buy things again without having to go through the Web page or having to modify the Google services framework. The "nosig" version reuses the original signing key from Google so that it can connect to the services correctly.

If you use ADB to change the files in recovery mode, then your phone will not reboot during the process.

You can verify if you have an update installed by looking for "vending" in /data/app/

Make sure you remove any updates you find before installing to /system/app/

It might be possible to even install this mod on an unrooted system over the top of an original Android Market, but I don't know for sure. Theoretically, the keys are the same so it might. Although, I recommend removing all updates and installing to the /system partition.
[Android Apps and Games] Infy_AsiX:
Hm strange I didn't use the nosig version though. Although I would have if I'd read more carefully :-P.

I checked data/app and just like the properties showed no updates were installed after installing by running the file. I wonder how it worked like that.

Even after the run install leaving no updates it needed a mod copied to system to take effect.

I'll try, but the problem is that GSF doesn's work at all now.

[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
Open the .zip for your installed rom on the phone...navigate to system/app inside the zip...extract the GSF that came with your rom...push that to /system/app over the "customized" one and hopefully after a reboot you'll be back where you started. I see now why the pay methods that come out with a dpi hacked market all use the 2.x versions of the market.
[Android Apps and Games] Domcek:
Tried already using that procedure even flashing from recovery but the error is the same. :confused:

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

The problem is that even Titanium is not showing that gsf package is installed in system, the situation is the same for any gsf pushed to /system/app.

No /data/data/ folder found for gsf, tried restoring from titanium data but no luck either.:mad:
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
The safest way to restore GSF is to reboot your phone into recovery mode with the usb cable attached to your computer and use the ADB commands to fix the system files. In order to revert back, use the version of GSF that either came preinstalled with your ROM or the version from the gapps package (ie; for CM7) that you have installed. Extract GSF from your ROM with an archive tool (ie; winzip).

After you restore GSF, you will have to add your Gmail accounts back to the system account.

GSF should be in /system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk

Yes, it might. But without rooting you can't change the density (at least for my rom I need to change build.prop, local.prop won't work because it's ro). And then there's no real need to install the hacked market.
[Android Apps and Games] Domcek:
Edge

Apparently so do I... ;)

Well, good news it is fixed, bad news is that my /data partition was intacted for over 10 ROM changes and lived through GB and various ICS (custom and cooked additionally by me) and now... I had to wipe it. :)

After wiping data (tried all other ways, it seems that something in /data messed up, tried even first cleaning /data/data bun not succesfully) its faster, more free space, and all best. :)

Thanks to all.

[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Just rename and copy the modified market file to /system/app and reboot or you can use ADB commands in recovery mode. You should not have to change anything else.

Make sure to remove any market updates first.

Note: If you copy over Android Market while system is running, make sure to stop the Market service first.

[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:

i haven't try again because i don't encounter any problem with the GSF that i'm currently using. Maybe you should try, i forgot where i downloaded it. file attached.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Thanks. I believe this version of GSF is from the following thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631070

This is GSF v2.3.7. Some people have reported success and others not. I have read that this version of GSF may cause problems with Google Talk. If this file does not have the original Google signature, then it might also cause problems with making purchases within a modified version of the Android Market. This will most likely require further testing.

[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
As long as the version of the market has "noupdate" in the filename, it should not self update. Could be possible that the original version is downloading an update before you have time to install the modified version? Make sure you dont have any Market updates in /data/app/ before installing to /system/app/.

They should all work.

You are not supposed to install

[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
First, select "Applications" (in the settings menu) and stop the Android Market (Google Play) service. Next, remove any Android Market updates. If the Android Market service is stopped, it should not try to download updates. Finally, replace the Market with the modified version in /system/app/. Afterwards, you can make sure there are no updates installed in /data/app/.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Did you try to clear the data while using the "nosig" version? Only the "nosig" version on post #132 is able to make purchases with a modified version of the Market, because it is using Google's original signing signature. Without the original Google signature, the Market is unable to connect to GSF and make the purchase.
