Thanks, but could you please tell if these are modded or not?

Why flash both files?

Did you invert colours yourself or grabbed them from somewhere else?

Unfortunately I get FC by opening this modified apk. Perhaps I should delete market data before replacing the apk file.

I will try it :)

Doesn't work here at all. I tried copying to /system/app directly. Also tried removing the original with TB, install the modded one, then moving it as a system app. I still have to use market enabler to change country and the market doesn't let me download because country restrictions (yes, i also deleted the app data before every try).

Hi,

I tried with Root Explorer and I can use the Google Play Store normally but I cannot install the blocked App (for Country Restrictions) as in the screenshot.

It say Impossible to find the App that I try to buy...

Are there a fix for it?

No sorry I didn't. But I kept playing around, and in the end I had to jump back to 3.4.4 and then update my way to make it work again. I even tried to jump from 3.4.4 to the modded version, but the same problem kept appearing. "Purchased order failed downloading" or something like that, came every time I tried update or download free or paid.

OP

Might want to make the OP a little more clear. Mainly concerning the non-modded and modded version. You're going to get a lot of traffic b/c this is on the front page, and it'll save everyone's brains if this thread doesn't get flooded with irrelevant questions.

Also, which one do I use? The OP or the second guy's?

Ugh. Doesn't matter, neither worked for me. Apps that Google deems "incompatible" still aren't available in search, simply b/c my dpi is 210 instead of the default 240 for HDPI devices.

---------- Post added at 04:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 AM ----------

here is another version i found.. i havnt tested it .. so BACKUP first

Be sure, your phone is rooted properly

Download Root Explorer if you don't have it installed

Go to /system/app/ and delete the Vending.apk (leave the Vending.odex untouched!). Sure, youc an backup your old Vending.apk to your SDCard as well.

Install the downloaded Vending.apk

Reboot your phone

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

Enjoy!

I too can't get it to install. Using AT&T version. When I try to install straight up I get Application Not install. Replacing /system/app version causes it to disappear. Replacing /data/app version causes force closes then upon reboot it disappears. Ideas?

EDIT: Well soon after posting this I found that both the Market and Google Play apps went missing. Removed the com.vending entry from /data/app but left Phonesky.apk on the phone (it's 2.3.6... go figure). Once I did that it still wouldn't come back so I went and cleared cache and dalvik cache with no change. Last I fixed permissions. Once I did that I was able to start to install the Google Play store apks from the op post normally. It still got weird and stuck though so I finally went and cleared data and loaded the app back up giving it permission where prompted and all was golden after that. Still don't know what happened but there you go.

Found that it doesn't work still. Here is an example item.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=amw.walld7

When you search by the id on the US market it fails to show at all. If you use market enabler to fake the region it just fails at an error occurred. Also I'm finding that it FCs when I try to download and the fix on the op posting doesn't work (file doesn't exist).

EDIT2: In an effort to fix the marketplace on my phone I install the CM7 flashable pack and totally screw myself over on it. Oh well. Guess I'm installing the ICS leak earlier than expected. :p

LP 7 Lite'ning ROM and Siyah kernel.

This whole app only seems to avoid showing the warning messages about region and device compatibility. It still won't let me install any app that was barred before.

Obviously, it would make sense for Google to control this on the server side, not on the client side. I guess this is exactly what they're doing, so this modded app is pointless. Google knows in which country you are, based on ip address, sim card, credit card.

I am also unable to uninstall the regular Play Vendor with Titanium Backup (crashes), Root Uninstaller (no error, but apparently fails, because the install error remains the same), nor install the mod with Root Explorer (gives "same name with conflicting signature" error).

Anyone?

Would having the Play Vendor app not listed as a system app do the trick?

EDIT: I also tried mounting the system partition R/W and renaming the app, then naming the modded version as the same app, and restarting. This just left the app unavailable. Installing it failed, but without saying way.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rain_1:
I can install both the un-moded and the modded versions without any issues: They install, they run and work as normal.

UNLESS I try to download something. Then the "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." message shows up and throws me back to the homescreen.

Trying to run the market again only gives me that message.

Rebooting allows the market to work, but if I try to install anything, same issue.

I can't delete the "smdl2tmp1.asec" under ".android.secure" on my computer because it isn't there when I browse the phone.

I'm using a Galaxy S (i9000) with the latest CyanogenMod nightly.

Any ideas?

Edit: Figured it out! I already had 3.5.16 installed, so I removed it with Titanium Backup prior to installing the modded version. However, simply installing it doesn't install the application as a System App. That's what's making the Google Play Store error out and close.

Installing it as a system app using Titanium Backup made it work as supposed. I don't know about the country restrictions and model restrictions, but the market works.

5- Delete it and replace it with Modded version.
