Try this:

1) Be sure, your phone is rooted properly

2) Download Root Explorer if you don't have it installed

3)Go to /system/app/ and delete the Vending.apk (Phonesky.apk for ICS 4.x.x) (leave the Vending.odex untouched!). Make sure you have an backup your old Vending.apk (Phonesky.apk for ICS 4.x.x) to your SDCard as well.

4) Install the downloaded Vending.apk (rename it to Phonesky.apk if you have ICS 4.x.x)

5) Reboot your phone

6) Start Play Store and grant the access. You'll be asked to do so

7) Enjoy!

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] fatjivi:
Download this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.birdapi.android.dpi

There is a paid version also with few extra features

There is an option to lower DPI and fix market compatibility that actually works...I've tried it and can guarantee that one time fix by this app makes ur market run on any DPI...it modifies play sotre and Google service framework and fools market to think ur ROM is running on on 240 DPI

And btw there is 3.7.13 modified Google store out there as well

This app gets older version of play store but after the app does its thing and modifies everything u can simply replace phone sky with 3.7.13 version clear GSF and restart and clear market data and start it and it will all be fine

Important extra steps if you use a Chinese phone...

Working on my Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830i) (Chinese) running China Unicom in China without a VPN

I rooted the phone first (phone specific directions are elsewhere in these forums)

I first had to sideload and install ES File Explorer, grant root, and configured writable /system in preferences.

I used my T-Mobile Galaxy S2 to download what I needed and Titanium Backup to back up apk files to transfer to the Ace

I used ES File Explorer to copy Googleservicesframework.apk and android setup wizard into the /system/apps folder - reboot

I set up my Google account in the system settings (Accounts and Sync) You must have a Google account to use Play.

I then followed the directions in this thread except that I installed a later version of play first googleplay_3.5.19_605.apk

There was no Vending.apk already in the system/apps folder to backup so I just copied the mod in there and renamed it.

Rebooted and all is right in the world (even in China)!

I'm even able to install Gmail now.

I'm going to go out and get a better phone now that I know I can do this. There aren't a lot of options for replacing ROMs in many of the Chinese phones so it's nice to be able to get around the blocks and just get all the Google stuff up and running.

I installed this vending modd in HTC Desire running in CM7... but i'm wondering why i cannot install google chrome browser in my phone, it says its not compatible with your phone...?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Fry_Man:
Because when u installed the modded play store it changes the way Google see's ur phone. goto Play.Google.Com and login. In ur device list it will probably show something other than the actual phone u have.

I believe you can also go to play store properties and see what it says as ur device name.

So what should I do?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BeefTrust:
Did you changed the permissions in Root Explorer to R/W? On the top right it says R/W when you open it first. click it, then you can copy. If you click again, it goes to Mount R/O again. That means Read-Only but R/W means Read-Write i think.

Now someone help me! When I try to open it, it instantly closes. I have the Old Xperia Project latest by Paul-xxx with nAa-11
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xinfinityoO:
if you have copied the vending apk to systems/app make sure you have given proper permisisons to the file using root explorer. i usually tick all the permission box..lol

remove your google account

go to system/data/accounts.db rename it to accounts.db.bak

clear play market cache using applications

reboot too recovery clear cache and dalvik

reboot

start market and add ur google account

see if that works
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] TheATHEiST:

1. Remove Market with System App Remover (Titanium removes but you need to reboot twice).
