Any chance u can add an option to disable the market from limiting apps by device as well ?

I have 3 apps that supposedly are not supposed to work for my phone and therefore are not able to be downloaded.....I get the apps and their updates on my phone by spoofing another phone and clearing cache plus market data....a truly annoying process.

I wish the market would let us just sort things out for ourselves.

Any how this is an awesome mod thank u

I am from Syria and we can't use Play Store here ,,, is this gonna help me or do I still need a VPN to access the Store. I am using FOXHOUND ROM latest version, and said to be using this mod, but still I can't download apps without VPN ?? any solution for this problem ,, it is too annoying to connect to VPN every time I want to access the Store and I have to pay for the VPN every month :(

I did the following :

Uninstalled google play
Dropped the vending mod apk into system/data
Booted to recovery
Wiped cache and dalvink
Fixed permissions
I am running android 4.0 on an epic 4g touch so ics automatically optimized all 334 apps on my phone at boot

After all this I see no changes...

I searched for a free Korean app I currently have called Lord of Destrcution and found nothing...

I am also still not about to find painkiller or final space premium...I got both these apps by spoofing a different device and purchasing them...

Clearer instructions are needed

Mandatory root?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 on android 2.3.4 which is latest Samsung version updated through kies. Non rooted device. I haven't been able to install the mod version. Any workaround?

Thanks

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.

Google Play Store (Android Market) v3.5.16
Requirements: Android v2.2+
Overview: Play Anywhere, All your entertainment in one place, Google Play is your one-stop shop for all your favorite entertainment.

ChangeLog:

- Play Store has becomes lot more faster than 3.5.15,
- Frequent force close errors for the users of Froyo 2.2 has been addressed,
- Works faster even on Slower data speeds,
- Slight UI changes in “My Apps” section
----You now have the Installed and All tabs you can swipe between. The former one is what we used to have before - it lists all apps installed on your device. The latter lists all apps you've ever installed in case you want to download them again or travel down the memory lane. This is quite handy, and I've seen this list before in the Play Store on the web, so it's great to get it here in the mobile app.
----The All tab contains a handy dropdown with all your accounts (if you added more than one) and lets you switch between them very easily (as opposed to clicking Menu, etc).
----A few of the stock apps that apparently never got linked to the Play Store before got identified and picked up this time, and updates.



Mod version features:
- Unlimited access to apps in Google Play Store
- Removed countries restriction in Google Play Store
- Fixed the issue which your device is not compatible with this item in Google Play Store


You should be able to just replace the apk by simply running the package, if not:

sorry to my understanding this can work with several devices,... anyway i tried this on my nexus s, downloaded the apps from the respective links, tried to install it using root explorer, first and second tries failed, i deleted the phonesky.apk and un installed the updates to play store,...then tried again to install.. it did install though it just reverted back to the original app, which has the restrictions, do i use another account that is based on the us or what was i doing wrong here?

    DISCLAIMER​
    :

    Proceed with caution and at your own risk. I am no way to be held responsible for any loss of data or any damage to your phone as a result of you using this mod.



    Using this Mod:
    - You cannot download/buy apps that are not available in your country. You can only view them in Google Play Store.
    - You cannot download Paid apps for free.

    NB: Google has control on the server side, therefore it is NOT possible to make a version that allows you to buy/download apps that are not available in your country.

    You can only replace the current market apk for the original non-modded version.
    You will require ROOT if you want to install the Modded version!



    Installation Guide

    For non-modded version:

    1) Download the apk from the links
    2) Put the apk on the phone ,don't use adb install *.apk in won't work it will say it already exists
    3) Open the apk from the phone using a File explorer (e.g. ES File Explorer/Root explorer)
    4) it will ask you if you want to replace the current market,press yes.
    5) Wait for install and voila you have the new market :)

    NOTE:this method replaces the old market.

    For Modded version:

    1) ROOT is REQUIRED! If you haven't rooted you phone then shoot yourself already!
    2) You will need to Download 'Root Explorer' and mount as 'R/W' or any file browser that can access /root folder if you don't already have it installed.
    3) Go to '/system/app/' and backup the 'Vending.apk' (Gingerbread) or 'Phonesky.apk' (ICS) to your SD Card (leave the Vending.odex untouched!).
    4) Check if you have either 'Vending.apk' or 'Phonesky.apk' and delete it.
    5) Now, Move the modded apk that you have downloaded to '/system/app/' and rename it the same as your backup version.
    6) Change the Permission to 'rw-r--r--'
    7) NOW, Reboot your phone!
    8) Finito!


    Troubleshoot:
    If you have download problem after Installing new market do this

    " Connect your phone to your computer,
    set in usb mass storage mode. Look for
    a hidden folder called ".android_ secure"
    and then delete the file
    "smdl2tmp1 .asec". Unmount and you
    should be good to go."

    It's already on v3.5.15

    @protetul: don't try to install it, download the version that xinfinityoO posted and place it in /system/app, change the permissions and reboot, it should work. I use the latest nightly of CM9 and it works great.
