[MENTION=4534385]MyLifeRocks10[/MENTION]

I ran into my first issue using this mod. In on stock android 4.3 nexus 4 with root. I received a ota notification update from Google. The problem is the official ota packages from Google verifies all the system files by checking the sda hash numbers of the files it's replacing to make sure nothing has been tampered with. It fails when it gets to the jar files that this mod installs in the system...

So my question is this. Is there a way to backup the files to say the sdcard without manually coping them all over? And if not can you maybe put a FAQ section for things like this in the OP or somewhere with the list files needed to make a backup? I have a nandroid backup but restores take forever and it would be much quicker to just back them up manually so I can restore my system back to stock and accept the ota update. The other issue with the ota updates is that they don't contain real full files. Instead they contain patches that patch all the files. I think Google found that this saves on download size (obviously since a full ota ROM is over 100mb where the patch is only about 2mb's). Thanks in advance.

Edit: Also I noticed official playstore updates from Google installs playstore to the data partition and not the system. Can't we also do the same instead of forcing it into the system? I'm guessing that the playstore on the data partition might be named differently than yours. So the old one would need to be removed prior to installation correct?

Edit 2: there's no jar files. It fails on system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk...

Regardless it will fail on any non standard system files...
[Android Apps and Games] egingell:
JAR files? What JAR files?

[Android Apps and Games] sparksco:
See my edits. Also my questions were intended for [MENTION=4534385]MyLifeRocks10[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] sparksco:
And also just so people know the playstore(s) that reside on the data partition from Google override the system playstore. This is probably the cause of some people not being able to update to this playstore...

Thus can be solved by going into manage apps in the settings menu and select the option "uninstall updates" for playstore prior to flashing this mod.
[Android Apps and Games] demoicurn:
This sounds like a similar problem I've experienced. I couldn't flash a mod play store. It always went back to stock. It is my theme I picked in theme chooser. I would choose the system theme. Flash mod play store. It would take. Noob over site on my part. My problem is it possible to modify the theme to allow a mod play store? How?( not asking anyone but myself). Don't want to be accused of any highjacking or anything. But any advice is greatly appreciated from ANYONE reading this.

[Android Apps and Games] egingell:
I haven't played with themes, but if they include full themed APK files, then you might be out of luck. Unless you are flashing one via Recovery, in which case, you can try replacing its Phonesky.apk with this one.
[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
There's threads around for altering Theme Chooser apks too. Not 100% sure of the steps, but you have to decompile the theme with APK tool, do whatever changes necessary, recompile and make your custom apk. If ya want pm me and I'll find you a link on it.
[Android Apps and Games] sparksco:
Theme apk's and theme manager are unrelated to this mod. You don't need any hacks to play store to make it able to be themed. Not all themers theme the play store in their themes. But you can most likely contact the themer and request for them to theme it...

When I said people were having issues I was specifically talking about the issue that [MENTION=4314384]CraiaSoftware[/MENTION] was having not being able to use this mod.
[Android Apps and Games] demoicurn:
I misspoke. I meant themed play store, not mod. Sorry

And craiasoftwares issue sounded similar to my issue and it ended up being an over site on my part. Looked into theming myself and then my head exploded.

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] CraiaSoftware:
I still have not been able to fix this BUT, now I am experiencing the strangest phenomenon. Every time I restart my phone the play store switches between the inverted-mod and the default stock. For example, I install the mod and I have the inverted store. I reboot, the play store reverts back to stock. I reboot again and its back to the inverted mod.

WTF? Any ideas/help?. thanks
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
Perhaps you have to copies, one in system/apps and one in data/apps? And, try clearing caches in recovery.

Is there a flashable zip so I can put it to get installed after the Cyandelta installation? I hate to change the dpi after every update.
[Android Apps and Games] Karpfenhai:
First, the market is not affected by flashing Rom updates or using cyandelta.

Second, you can preserve your built.prop by using cm-50.sh script or adding an entry to your local.prop.

[Android Apps and Games] hectorviov:
Thank you for your answer, can you explain more about the cm-50.sh script? I added the entry "ro.sf.lcd_density=218" to a new file named "local.prop" on /data but it didn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] Karpfenhai:
Funny, I'm using the same density :D

My bad, try default.prop within /

If not working, this script is your friend:

Tapatalked from my Galaxy SII
[Android Apps and Games] sparksco:
Doesn't default.prop revert back to it's stock original settings after reboot even of you edit it?

For the script he has to edit it after each ROM flash?
[Android Apps and Games] egingell:
default.prop cannot be changed and since build.prop resides in /system/etc, then changes are retained after a reboot.

Sent from my SGS4.
[Android Apps and Games] sparksco:
I know. We weren't discussing build.prop. We were discussing the script he was referring to found in cm ROMs...

You would have to edit the script after each ROM flash which would defeat the whole purpose of editing it since you could just edit the build.prop after each ROM flash...

Hope I'm not loosing you here.
[Android Apps and Games] egingell:
No; but to be fair, I am laying on a hospital bed. lol

Sent from my SGS4.
[Android Apps and Games] Karpfenhai:
Guys, last post about this b/c we're off-topic.. the cm-50.sh will not be overwritten upon flash!

All entries made there are preserved from flash, it's a backup script..

I'll show you parts of my file for better understanding:

Now the part interesting for you...

Btw, I save the whole Photosphere app this way, that's why those libs are in my script..

Note: saving the whole built.prop will lead to inconsistencies, the build number in settings will not update plus you might not get possible tweaks from the file, pay attention.

Better try the default.prop way and preserve this file from getting overwritten.

Please do not discuss further within this thread, respect the author, use Google if you need more information, Thx!

I installed the latest white version of 4.3.11 for android 4.1.2. It was working fine. Then I odexed those two files with a recovery script that also wipes cache/dalvik and rebooted. Now the play store won't connect. Is this a known limitation? I've never had a problem odexing the gapps versions of these two apk's.

[Android Apps and Games] sparksco:
Really how is this off topic? We're just discussing the build.prop which is where the LCD density (dpi) settings are at and how to preserve the changes. The 50-cm.sh (only found in cm Roms), gets flashed with the cm nighties to the system partition (overriding the one in system on the device?). Unless like your saying the edits get backed up and restored in a temporary state which if it does that is new news to me. I don't run cm a lot anyways.

Any who, default.prop doesn't work, I tried that method yesterday. I think there's a way to backup just the LCD density settings using sed, depending on if the recovery supports it or not. Normally I could probably make a flashable zip to run a script to backup just the LCD density settings to data partition, and restore the settings to build.prop if I had access to my PC.

[Android Apps and Games] It_ler:
Have you done all steps suggested in OP when experiencing issues?

1. Flash the zip file and reboot.

2. In Settings->Apps->All clear data of Play Store and Google Services Framework then reboot.

3. Open Play Store, if it gives error then clear data of Play Store and open Play Store again then hit accept.

4. If ur apps doesn't show up under installed apps in play store after installing this fix then reboot once and u should see it afterwards.

5. If above steps didn't fix ur issues then remove Google account,reboot and re-add ur Google Account.

If you have any kind of firewall running, disable it just to check, that this is not blocking Play store's access to the internet.

Maybe it's really an issue with the changes you have done to the files :confused:

To get further help, post a detailed description of your changes ... and think about uploading the recovery script.
[Android Apps and Games] LordNerevar:
Thank you. I got it working by reinstalling the zip and reodexing. I'm not sure why it failed the first time.

I have flashed the "Inverted Multi DPI Play Store v4.3.10 for ICS - Download in the 1st post thru 4ext Recovery.

But after reboot and clear cache/davik cache, the Google Service Framework.apk which included in the *.zip didn't work for me, SO I have to backup the GSF.apk version 4.0.4-390215 from the original.

Then after reboot, Play store works as version v4.3.10

But I still cannot install Google Play Services.apk from google play, after downloading and installing, it shows an error like this:

I have searched every where, but no luck

Any comments or where can I have the workable google play services.apk ?
[Android Apps and Games] m1trand1r:
don't you have Google play services in system/app/*???GmsCore.apk like on SS below?

I"m not sure how it looks on ICS tho....anymore :D

Slimbeam-ed from Android //4.3//:p
[Android Apps and Games] coolpixs4:
No, the original ROM doesn't have it (only PhoneSky.apk and Google Service Framework.apk)

That's why when I update youtube to the lastest version it requires to install the google play services.apk from Play store, then I do follow it but stuck at that error.

HOWEVER, I have been solved it

By extract google play services.apk from other phone (Galaxy S) and then I did manually resigned it by one_click_resign tool on PC

then, I copy it to sdcard and install it successful

thanks anyway

here is attached resigned-GMS.apk for you guys who cannot install from Play store
[Android Apps and Games] m1trand1r:
ah...that's fine to...but you could easily pushed it to system and you would spare some time because you had to sign it before installing it as user app:p...anyway i'm glad you solved your issue:victory:

[Android Apps and Games] :
Unfortunately this didn't solve it for me. I followed the directions to a tee even to the last step with re-adding my Google Account. The device is a HP Touchpad with CM 10.1. I also double triple checked the zip before I flashed it's the correct one for my device.
[Android Apps and Games] MyLifeRocks10:
What didn't work for u? Multi DPI patch or something else?
[Android Apps and Games] :
The DPI patch i'm still getting the incompatible error with many applications.
[Android Apps and Games] rkuijpers:
Only a workaround solution, but it works:

- download and install Xposed framework (search on XDA)

- install "all apps on play store" mod (under modules in Xposed installer)

- set density like you want it reported to play store

- enjoy! :thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] egingell:
That's what I'm using now. I prefer the "cleared out" version of the Play Store by TeamBlackout. :D

Edit: It's "Play Store Fixes" not "all apps on play store"; although, that one may work just as well.

Edit2: It appears that they are both the same module. lol

Finally, i used lcd density modder pro to patch the gsf and it worked (this app was not working on ics/jb)

Anyways, if you want to try I can send you any file you need if you like to mod it, thanks for your time! :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] Quiglesigles:
Is there any chance you could upload a new one with the GSF or is this not possible?

Also, do I need to clear the data every time I change the DPI or just the first time?
[Android Apps and Games] MyLifeRocks10:
I also used to use that app but it didn't work most of the time for me so after lots of trying and searching i managed to do it myself.

I don't know how many people still uses GB but if they want mod for GB then i can make it. Also I think lcd density modder pro uses outdated play store which i think is v3.5.15.

Anyway its good u got it working.:)

Don't extract the zip file, just open it with 7-zip or winrar then drag and drop new version on top of it.

There are some problems with new play store when u change dpi so due to this i didn't upload it with GSF. Think this new version as beta release.

Also new version of GSF(v4.1.2....) may be out, so in that case i will have to make new mod again. So when this is sorted out i will upload all version like before.

U need to clear data when u get problems otherwise u can use it as it is.
[Android Apps and Games] Quiglesigles:
So thats what my problem has been. I have been clearing data even when all of my apps show up because I thought that was part of the install process. Seems to be working now.

Currently running on 182 DPI and using Samsung ICS XWLPX rom. Tested the new inverted play store - v3.9.16 and works 100%.

Tried a few things to test it

- Searched for a few DPI compatible apps and results appeared fine.

- Removed few free apps from All apps

- Installed few apps (Google drive, flipkart)

I like icon which shows up in notification bar after an app is updated/installed using new play store

You should flash the appropriate old one from the second post of this thread an then the new one over it.

Or wait for the new version coming perhaps later today.

[Android Apps and Games] MyLifeRocks10:
OK I will release new version for both ICS and JB with GSF included like before. JB will contain new GSF(v4.1.2...)
