[Mod][Xposed][v1.4.0] Play Store Changelog - Show the full changelog!

P1nGu1n_ · Oct 29, 2014

Introduction
Play Store Changelog is an Xposed Module to always display an app's full changelog instead of the first four lines. I created it because it annoyed it that I had to click 'Read more' to see the full changelog.

Simply enable the module and reboot. After you changed any settings they are applied instantly.

Screenshots

Compatibility
Play Store Changelog supports Play Store 5.0.31 and higher.

Still not solved?

It works on my Galaxy Note 3 LTE (SM-N9005) and Galaxy Core (GT-I8262) with Play Store 5.0.31.

@P1nGu1n_: Very good idea, i did also not like the latest Play Store change

inder67 · Oct 30, 2014

Really good module. One thing I want to point out that it shows changelog for all versions instead of latest changelog.

shivadow · Oct 30, 2014

Just tried this mod on a galaxy s3 i9300 4.3 mk6 stock rom with agni kernel, Google play store 5.0.31 and it still has the change logs hidden. No errors in xposed log and the module seems to load fine.

Good idea though!

jaibar · Oct 30, 2014

Great module!

lulli1 · Oct 30, 2014

cool. fantastic idea!!!
I'm always annoyed of this as well....thanks a lot

reversegear · Oct 30, 2014

This module makes the incomplete play store to perfect play store
Thanks for the module

Edit: a feature request
Can you implement to show the current version of installed app to show in playstore

@EMK2000, @defim, @inder67, @shivadow, @jaibar, @lulli1, @reversegear and @starbase64: Everyone, thanks for your feedback, it's highly appreciated!

All it does is stop the Play Store form limiting the changelog to 4 lines. So if in the changelog formultiple versions are shown, then the app developer probably put the changelog for the few latest versions in its latest changelog.

If I remember correctly, a changelog is only shown when an app already is installed. This behaviour is not changed because all it does is stop it from limiting the changelog to 4 lines. If the changelog was hidden before, it will still be hidden.

I'm not quite sure what you mean, can you explain it furthermore?

In which case it works flawlessly and I am an idiot!. Thanks very much.

OK here is the brief explanation with an example

In playstore latest version is 22.0.0.0.6

I have face book installed version 22.0.0.0.2

Before updating to latest version To check the installed version one has to navigate to settings>>app>>Facebook
And check the version

If it is possible to put the version in play store app like this then it will be helpful
Check the screen shot below

Made an icon if you'd like to use

sharkie405 · Oct 30, 2014

This is a much needed Playstore fix. Working like a champ on my Galaxy S4. Thanks!

Ninolina · Oct 30, 2014

@P1nGu1n_,

it works great here too!

I also have an suggestion - can you add the date of version at the same place?

Thank in advance!

Great work!

Aaah, I get what you mean. This value probably isn't available internally, but even if it is, I don't know where to put this version number. Hacking the whole layout just to add another field is not an option. I think that it would defeat the purpose of this simple app, which I tend to keep simple.

Thanks! Usually I do make icons, but since it doesn't have a GUI and thus isn't shown in the launcher, I decided to spend my precious development time to other stuff haha. I'll add it to the next version.

Great work!

Thanks for your feedback! To which place are you referring to?

PunchUp · Oct 30, 2014

Want me to provide resolutions directly from the svg file? Or you'll resize that one?

I now see that I wasn't clear about that. I would like to see the date of the app on that first page without need to go to "more". In previous versions of Google Play - a few moths ago - the date was visible on the first page where is now located "in app purchase"

I hope I managed to describe it better now.

Thank you.

You mean converting them already to the different resolutions for including them in the app? Using your original file might give the best results :good:

Its okay, I get it now

Google tightly coupled their GUI with the code, inserting elements would require too much hacking, which I'm not planning to do because I wan't to keep it simple
