Why not just disable all auto updating and notifications of updates? Occasionally signing in to the Play Store and selectively updating what is seen as having updates available in the My Apps section works very well for me...

Reading recent reviews before updating is a wise move also. Sometimes the updates function worse than the previous version and you may wish you did not update.

EDIT-should have used term of "Open App" instead of "Signing In" above.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tdgillihan:
If you just disabled all auto updating and notifications and never looked in my apps section unless you wanted to ck wouldn't that preclude having to sign in?

And I wholeheartedly agree about reading the reviews and looking other places (like here) before updating.

Always thank those who are helpful...and just ignore those who aren't.

[MENTION=4303103]LeftyGR[/MENTION], [MENTION=4730718]tdgillihan[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5219495]fly4awhtgye[/MENTION] yep, yep, yep, totally agreed, I should blame myself - like I often do to others :( - for posting before thinking. Disabling gplay notifications will make me getting rid of annoying notifications of updated apps I am in fact not willing to update and if I like I am the one who decides to have a look into 'my apps' and update the app I want to.

Dear guys - again - thanks for the (on my side/for me) helpful words :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micmars:
Actually, much of this comes down to personal preference.

For instance, I have all of the above as you've outlined it (no notifications, no auto update, etc), but I check into the play store daily for updates. I do this to attain knowledge of its existence, and then I can decide if I want to take it.

Ohhh...had to Odin after flashing Play Store:(

S4 - MDK - Echoe ROM v29 - uninstalled update - used proper zip :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gunthermic:
What???? An app is not going to cause that. Something else caused that itself. Not the app itself, flashing can be a risk as is...

Sorry you felt you had to odin.. thats a rather drastic step to fix a playstore that didnt work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GrizzlyBarrn:
I meant I had to flash my recovery...not Odin. I meant with TWRP. It was because I couldn't figure out any way to get PlayStore reinstalled. I was missing it entirely. I was unable to install any version after.

Did you do a nandroid backup before flashing?

nope....newb move right there....lol. My gmail still says syncing and playstore doesnt show still even when copied into system apps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gunthermic:
Not sure what you have done sir...

But since you haven't done a Nandroid(Read every time i post an new App), you may have no choice but to reflash your ROM.

I have checked and rechecked. The scripts I have in Kit-Kat is perfectly fine.. It will remove older PlayStore(market) for you and install new one updated version..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bx10r:
well now hearing from the ol wise one..i am cureently reflashing my rom, but what do i do then so it doesnt happen again..cant live with stock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gunthermic:
make sure you do a nandroid first.

Are you on a AOSP Rom? TW?

Have yu tried someone elses PlayStore to see if your Recovery doesnt like my flashable zips?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bx10r:
NO NEED FOR A NANDROID at this point..didnt have what i needed..so starting from scratch..just reflashed and the 1st thing im doing is playstore to see what happens...hopefully it doesnt fail...and yes i tried team blackouts zip..and same thing

EDIT: PLAYSTORE DISAPPEARED.BUT AGAIN.. YOUR ICON IS IN PRIV-APP BUT NO WHERE ELSE.. I FIND NO STOCK PLAYSTORE ANYWHERE EITHER..WHAT NOW? AND IM ON TW , HAD GMAIL AND PLAYSTORE YESTERDAY...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gunthermic:
well if you tried TBO's and it did same thing, then I am gonna venture to say something in your ROM..

I would.. start with an older version(not the non-update) first, then try from there..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bx10r:
what i find wiered is that yesterday i had the same rom and had your apps...reflashed and now..cant get gmail and playstore...its the only version of the rom

edit: tried gmail...flashes and i get it but it stays syncing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gunthermic:
And stop the sync, clear data. Reboot and enable sysnc. Also.. could be Google having issues?

Just because same rom... don't mean issues. Previous had library files, data files all lined up and now all fresh it can cause an issue...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fly4awhtgye:
Glad the apps are back for you.

As a last resort, it may not hurt to backup each app using Titanium Backup. Restoring "App only" without data for each APK one at a time has helped me get back system apps from time to time. This was done only because I did not have the original flashable zips handy...

No, it doesn't look like it. Just updated, then flashed the Kitkat version and Hangouts now force closes.

Ok, uninstalled Hangouts 2.3.x (cant remember exact rev) with Titanium and reinstalled Kitkat Hangouts and back in black. :)

---------- Post added at 04:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 AM ----------

Oh, and Play Store is showing the update again. LOL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tdunham:
[MENTION=3824019]Gunthermic[/MENTION]

What is the secret to get play store apps to prevent from updating?

A search only brings up how to do this with Play Store but it would be great to have 'no_update' versions of the apps as well. :)

The reason I ask is that I can uninstall the recent hangouts update and reinstall the darkhorse version but the Play Store still sees it as needing updating.

Maybe I'll try breaking the signature or resigning the app or something to see if that works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micmars:
Check post 1347 and the thread linked there by Gunthermic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tdunham:
Ok no luck with either of the above.

I cant even convert it to a user app with Titanium nor do I see the option to detach it from the Play Store. But from what I'm reading, the detach function doesn't work and I don't even see or cant find the option in the latest Titanium.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micmars:
My apologies; lazy reading on my part.

From Titanium Backup, navigate to the app name, hard press on the app name, and the option to detach from the play store is presented, along with a host of other options.

My success with this option has been hit or miss, as if there's an update available for a given app in the play store, it'll appear on the next reboot. Worth a shot, however.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ocbooger:
Oops

Sent from my SM-N900P using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gunthermic:
No secret per say sir. I would love to find a way as well on other apps. But since Google Settings came out seems not possible as a break in signature causes apps to not function..

Sent from my SM-T320 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tdunham:
I do not have this option is the Titanium purchased version. I even tried it with a regular app and it doesn't show. Oh well, like you said, its not working after a reboot anyway and that is what I'm seeing reported across threads too. No biggy.

Yes, it was worth a shot. There is probably a way to detach it through smali like they did with the Play Store so it doesn't break signature but I don't see anything obvious and each app is going to be different so its probably not worth the effort.

Hangouts 2.3.75 v1

OP Updated:

Hangouts 2.3.75 v1 All DarkHorsed and Inverted

1. Quite honestly, this is getting tiring doing these, plus the total lack of respect. The untold dev's that use(d) this as a base, and now going around telling other dev all the smali changes and claiming all the thanx and such. I love the sharing, but taking credit for the work is just beyond my thoughts. They take from mine and then end up taking credit for all the hours I spend doing so. (end rant)

2. Download for the apps has drasticly decreased over last 6 months. As more dev's use this as base to do thier own, as I predicted mor emoved awy from this thread. Alot of users have moved onto [MENTION=968914]Archangel [/MENTION](camblue) and [MENTION=1044913]tbo[/MENTION], which deliever awesome products. I tried to redo mine a bit this time, Freshen up the UI abit to see if more agreeable to the base.

Thanx [MENTION=2126467]djdarkknight96[/MENTION] and@tbo for help finding a few smali changes. This version was a huge change and required alot of time to find all the changes again, plus even more then previous.
