I am working on getting JB CM10 setup on my phone and will let you know once I have successfully tested it.

Yank555, will send the instruction along in a little bit. Thanks!

Thanx ;) No need to hurry, had a HDD failure, so tonight it's all about restoring a working system :rolleyes: :eek:

Lucky me I have a recent backup, so not that much lost :fingers-crossed:

I would be interested in testing this as well. I tried flashing and had to revert to a restore after the phone went crazy.

Thanks for all your hard work.

    I have tried multiple play store fixes from around the web and seemed to receive multiple force closes and various other issues when trying to launch Google play and Google apps. So, I decided to take the time to actually fix the files for the rom that I am currently using. Therefore, if you are someone who modified the DPI of your phone manually, happens to be running the Alpha for CM9 (or are willing to try with other roms) you can download the Vending.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk from this thread here and see if it helps you too. I should mention that you have to Clear data on the Google Play Store after replacing the files so it can again work properly.

    I know many people are going to just say "why didn't you just download LCDModderPro, since it has the market fix?" Simple answer, because I wanted to do it myself. That is one of the great things about Android, it's open source and you can modify things to meet your needs. So why did I post this if I just wanted to do it myself? Well, once it was done I figured I might as well share... below are the links if anyone finds it to be useful.

    Google Play 3.5.16:
    My attempt at a CWM flashable zip: http://d-h.st/L5B
    The files if you just want to copy them to /system/app yourself: http://d-h.st/AhT
    The original files in case something goes wrong: http://d-h.st/5FS

    Google Play 3.5.19
    CWM Flashable Zip: http://d-h.st/d0t
    The files if you just want to copy them to /system/app yourself: http://d-h.st/JGo

    Google Play 3.7.13:
    CWM flashable zip: http://d-h.st/fvz
    The files if you just want to copy them to /system/app yourself: http://d-h.st/GfI

    I am requesting that only people more experienced try this one ^^ out. I am trying something different this time around and I only actually edited a couple of lines, literally one in both the GoogleServicesFramework.apk and one in Phonesky.apk. It has been working for me for three days now, if you have an issue or it fails to work let me know.

    Don't forget to clear data for the Google Play store after installing

    Great work PlagueBoy, gcf modified by you works on andromadus audacity beta 5 (ics) on desire Z. But can you tell us step by step how did you managed to modify GoogleServicesFramework.apk in such a way that it create no problems with google talk etc? I wanna know because I want to modify it on my own for my older device which is running cm 7.1.

    Once I get back state side I will sit down and actually write out a little tutorial for you and all the other people that put out a request for this. It will be easier since I have to completely redo the project as the laptop I was using for development was actually stolen while I was in Germany. Anyway, once I get my replacement laptop and can figure everything out again I will put up a tutorial and fix the CWM download in the original post that seems to be causing problems for people.

    Sorry for the delay everyone, but having my laptop hampered my ability to actually work on this and many other projects.

    New Version 3.7.13 is on the OP

    The download is up there...

    As for the tutorial: If enough people respond to the new file and let me know it is actually functioning then I will include the information of the two lines that were edited. Since the original laptop I was doing this on was actually stolen while I was in Germany I had to restart all my projects that I had been working on. At least now I have a new laptop and have actually been keeping notes verse my usual "bash around until it works the way I want" style. Let me know what you all run into. I will get the tutorial up, I just don't want lots of people making edits based on the tutorial only to find out that this solution literally only works for me on CM9, or have it cause a ton of other issues I wasn't prepared for.

    So please, if you do download the new version then give me a quick note as to whether it works for you a few days from now after it is confirmed to be working.

    Google Play Version 3.5.19

    I downloaded and installed the newest Google Play store version (3.5.19) and it appears that google has changed the display metrics from DPI to Height/Width. I am waiting to see if the old problem of apps becoming unsupported reoccur with the new version. As of now, after clearing data and toying with the DPI some more, I still have access to all my downloaded apps and the error hasn't occurred. I will update if it proves necessary...
