tried to install "Vending-3.10.10.noupdate.norestrictions.nosig-aligned.apk"

when running it says "not installed" and stops...

im using MccM HD V6 SD (2.2.1) rom

whats my mistake?
[Android Apps and Games] Kurre:
Don't install..just copy & overwrite existing vending.apk or phonesky.apk in /system, set permissions, clear playstore+gsf data and reboot. It should work just fine (but that isn't the case every time :rolleyes: )

Ps. Before that, go to "manage apps", select "playstore" and uninstall updates.

doesnt work here, when im stopping gsf, play (also uninstalling) and then replacing the Vending.apk in /system/apps there is NO market and NO play in my system after rebooting. permissions are also set to 664.

i did that twice, same problem. any idea what happened?
[Android Apps and Games] Jolest:
Did you set the owner and group to root?
[Android Apps and Games] Kurre:
Worth of checking but usually owner is set correctly since file explorer needs root access etc..at least I haven't never experienced that kind of problems.

Hmm are you using odexed rom, if so that might be the problem ? And in that case, find vending.odex, delete it and reboot. Someone could confirm this since it has been ages since I have used a odexed rom :rolleyes:

And if that isn't the case, recheck the permissions (or fix permissions in custom recovery) and wipe cache & dalvik cache (just in case).

Really need149dpi

First of all let me thank all who have put their effort into this project. I purchased a Nexus 7 with the principal purpose of using it in a waterproof case as a chartplotter on my jetski with navionics software. Problem is that navionics has two versions, one for phones and one for tablets. Unfortunately the Nexus 7 isn't supported for either version and I can't see any of the software through the stock google play app. I tried spoofing the build.prop file to no avail. I have now installed Vending-3.10.10.noupdate.norestrictions.dpi160.nosig-aligned.apk from this thread and I can see the phone app version of the navionics software but not the tablet version. This leads me to believe that the device check imposed by navionics is dpi (explains why spoofing the buid.prop file didn't work, didn't change dpi). I installed the 213 dpi version of the moded google play store just to check and sure enough I can't see any navionics apps again. All tablets listed as "compatible" with the tablet version of navionics (HD) have a dpi of 149 or less. I'm pretty sure that a moded vending.apk (or Phonesky.apk in my case) set to 149dpi would make navionics hd magically appear in the spp store. Is anyone able/willing to help out? I want the tablet version as it has many improvements like pinch to zoom,etc.

P.S I went through all the steps, clear data and force stop of google play and GSF, name file properly and replace in system/apps, restart and totally lost the play store. Struggled for a while before finding the solution posted in the forum. Just had to set Phonesky.apk file permissions properly, rw-r--r-- and reset again.

149 DPI

Anyone out there?
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
just do it yourself? all the instructions you need are in this thread.

and 149 is not a standard-dpi. i seriously doubt any tablet using it as it'd results in HUGE display
[Android Apps and Games] onefish:
149 DPI

I would love to be able to do it myself. I understand that it is only a change to one line of the code but I don't have the knowledge of how to decompile the APK and then force it to resign using the original Google key. This isn't explained in this thread at all to my knowledge, just that someone has been able to do it somehow. Even the OP wasn't able to use the original Google keys for signing.

I could be reading the wrong specs but:

- Samsung GT-P7500 10.1 tablet = 149 dpi

- Asus Transformer TF101 10.1 = 149 dpi

- Motorola XOOM MZ604 10.1 = 149 dpi

- Acer Iconia Tab A501 10.1 = 149 dpi

These are specs from gsmarena.com. These are all listed as compatible with the Navionics HD software that I am trying to purchase. Heck, the iPad 2 only used 132 dpi. It appears that the lower dpi is pretty well standard on 10" tablets.
[Android Apps and Games] tonyp:
@onefish: just use ParanoidAndroid. Then you can config the dpi of apps individually. Problem solved.
[Android Apps and Games] onefish:
149 DPI

TonyP, not sure that ParanoidAndroid ROM is a solution. I don't need to actually set the dpi of anything. Just need the modified Google Play app to pass on the credentials that I am using 149 dpi (when I am in fact using 216 as per factory setting) so that the store will show me apps that are restricted to tablets (by parsing system dpi). The modified Google Play apk's in this thread which state a given dpi do exactly that (if I understand it correctly). Problem is that none have been moded to pass on 149 dpi yet.
[Android Apps and Games] Yank555:
You're mixing up hardware density (e.g. the amount of pixels measured per physical inch on the hardware display used), which gsmarena is talking about, with the software rendering dpi, which Play Store uses.

Most 10" Tabs with 1280x720, like TF300tg, use 160dpi !

[Android Apps and Games] onefish:
149 DPI

Ahh, I see you are correct. Just checked the build.prop entries for the 10.1 tablets on openbuildprop.scheffsblend.com and they are indeed 160 dpi (forgive my ignorance, I am not a developer). Guess there is a different reason why tablet apps (at least the one I want to purchase) still aren't visible using the 160 dpi moded Google Play apk. Funny that the 160 dpi modified apk did make additional phone specific apps visible. Perhaps it's time to give it up......
[Android Apps and Games] Yank555:
Using the no restriction version should give you everything I suppose ... never missed anything so far.

Else, if you have a different device that does see the app, install it there and then grab the apk file from /data/app using a root file-explorer, tranfer it to the tab and install on the tab manually (by tapping the apk from a file-explorer).

Finally fixed my problem with compatibility issues on Nexus 7! I am using 174dpi and couldn't see most apps.

Ive only replaced Phonesky.apt didnt touch GFS. First I tried 213dpi version, which gave me most apps, but movies and books were still missing. Using Vending-3.10.10.noupdate.norestrictions.nosig-aligned.apk completely solved the problem and I can see all categories. However I am not able to install Mint.com or Amazon tablet app, but I guess that's because they are only available in US.

Great work guys! Thank you very much!

Need some help from you on my GT-I9220, MASTER!

:good:

Hi Tsjoklat,

hi everyone,

Happy New Year

I need your help for getting this installed, because I suffer from the Google Play Store restrictions as I have a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-I9220 bought in China as I live in China, but as I am German I need Apps from western countries.

Said so, I successfully got Google Play Store APP up and running on my recently bought phone (with lots of difficulties) but did not yet overcome the restrictions.

Your work here is genius and it sound that it is exactly what I need. But as I am totally new to Android phones and to this kind of operations, please provide me a more detailed help. I will credit your with all my thanks, I promise :angel:

Since one week I tried very hard to get this done, but I failed, crashed my phone by a wrong KERNEL, reinstalled system, read hundreds of threats and also tried my best on the 700 comments on this threat, but I do not understand much. SORRY for my stupidness….

So actual status is, that I have

•	newly installed Android ICS_Sandwich 4.0.4 for China with Odin 1.87 using I9220ZCLPL_I9220OZHLPL_CHN.zip (PDA: I9220ZCLPL_I9220ZCLPI_I9220OZHLPL_HOME.tar.md5) ->works fine

•	no Google Play Store has yet been installed (maiden-like)

•	I deleted my Google Account

•	I can build up a VPN to US (showing an US-IP), does the nonrestriction version makes this still necessary?

•	I can insert my German SIM card instead of my Chinese Mobile SIM

•	I was able to install and run microSDXC SCANDISK 64GB

Here some data about my Phone:

Android:	ICS-Sandwich 4.0.4

Baseband: I9220ZCLPI

Kernel:	3.0.15-I9220ZCLP-CL925501

BuilD:	IMM76D.ZCLPL

I really need to install to

-	the GOOGLE PLAY STORE vers. 3.10.10 as you showed on your threat #599 - Thx for that

-	I urgently need to avoid any restrictions specially showing Modell=GT-I9220 and Country=China

I do not know what DPI my phone has (I guess 240) and I don’t know how to find out (my manual is in Chinese) ..so I do not know which file I should take

Vending-3.10.10.noupdate.norestrictions.nosig-aligned.apk - [Click for QR Code](5.95 MB, 216 views)

Vending-3.10.10.noupdate.norestrictions.dpi240.nosig-aligned.apk - [Click for QR Code](5.95 MB, 135 views)

Vending-3.10.10.noupdate.norestrictions.dpi320.nosig-aligned.apk - [Click for QR Code](5.95 MB, 125 views)

What do I have to do with it? :eek:

Just copy on my SD and click to …

-	install (as it does not have any Google Play Store App installed or …

-	copy to /system/app/ or …

-	do I have to run ODIN and if how?

Do I still need to install the following files:

-	GooglePartnerSetup.apk,

-	GoogleServicesFramework.apk

-	MarketUpdater.apk

-	NetworkLocation.apk

Do I still need to do the Phonesky.apk renaming?

Do I have to do anything on the MD5-File?

Sorry for my questions, but I am not experienced and sorry if you have given this answers in one of the comments here or in another threat, but I could not find anything …

Thank you already in advance, but I will give you a THANK if you can help me.

sorry if this is a horribly noob question, I'm the worst when it comes to programming but how difficult is it to make the market compatible with 180DPI?

is it just a matter of a few lines or..? thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
180 is not one of the default dpi values, so I doubt there's any app that's available for that value but not for one of the defaults (160,240,320). so no use in creating a 180dpi version really.
[Android Apps and Games] rovo89:
Hey guys, this might be interesting for you: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/microdownloads/all-apps-in-play-store.15/viewfile

I have written this module for my Xposed framework. It requires root access, but you don't need to patch any APKs or something like that, it's all done in the memory at runtime. You just install the framework and the module and follow the instructions in the first post to activate them. This should work on most phones with ICS or higher and it probably supports many Play Store versions (I tested with 3.10.10).

I have included the patch to 240dpi (not sure if there is any difference with other DPIs?) for both Play Store and the Google Services Framework as well as the patch in LibraryUtils. I had implemented the 240dpi fix a while ago, but after every update or so, I spent hours resetting caches etc. to get it back working. With the LibraryUtils patch, it's working immediately for more. Let me know if there are other relevent patches. I think preventing updates is not necessary as this will keep working until Google does a major change in their code.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
"hardcoded" 240 will not make apps visible that are intended for 320 or 160 dpi. of course most apps will work on the 3 standard dpis (160,240,320), but there might be some that don't. If the patch for your framework isn't that hard (didn't have the time to look at it so far) you should offer it for all dpis: 160,213(tvdpi),240,320

what i don't get about your rom: is it intended for all devices or just Samsung/Touchwiz devices? Cause it's in the S2 forum and a lot of the patches seem samsung specific.
[Android Apps and Games] rovo89:
Could you point me to an example of an app which is not available with 240dpi? I thought the no-restrictions patch might fix this? If there is really a difference, I could add a small configuration screen for that... but I'm not sure how well this will work. As I said, I had it working with the patches to 240dpi, but from time to time, they were not effective anymore and they also didn't apply immediately.

As for the source code of the module, that's not too much:

It is safe to replace it with: const/16 v0, 0xf0 (that is what I did on my sgs2, and it worked perfectly)

Good question. The variable on the new line should match the first number directly after the iget command. For example:

If the code looked like this:

iget v2, v10, Landroid/util/DisplayMetrics;->densityDpi:I

Then we would change the line like this (since the "v2" variable is the one we want to match up on the replaced line because it is referring to the "iget" command):

const/16 v2, 0xf0

n00b in trouble!

Hi there!

I really hope you guys don't mind me asking this, but as I saw elsewhere on the forum (and I have tried to search this issue to no avail!) the only dumb question is the one not asked.

So here goes:

I have a cheap (coby built, 8" 600x800 running 4.0.3) tablet that I have successfully rooted and got root explorer working.

I would love to be able to access the GP store and have tried to follow the instructions as best as I can but whenever I click on the play store icon it starts to open up and shuts down again within a second. It has never successfully opened for me!

If it's of any significance, I also edited the build.prop file so that product.model=Nexus 7, and product.brand and product.manufacturer both=samsung.

I did this because I read elsewhere that this may help get your tablet access to otherwise restricted apps in the store, so thought this may also help with my otherwise unsupported tablet's recognition.

When it comes to editing the permissions of the vending.apk file in root explorer, I've set it to rw-r--r--.

I'm, also not entirely sure which version of the modified vending.apk I should use, or if there are any reasons the one's I've tried haven't worked for me.

Please help me to identify what may be going wrong! Many thanks :)
