Hey XDA world!
Do you also want to get rid of that Google Play app? Do you want the old market back? Well... I just found a way to do this without using OldMarket!
This method also needs root, but it's working for my Galaxy Mini with stock ROM and Android 2.3.5.
OldMarket didn't work for me. And this method did! Read the steps below.
Before doing anything you must remove the market updates from manage applications tab (settings) and disable the internet completely (Wifi and data connection) after you have downloaded the required apps.
You know what I mean.
Get AndroZip from the Market. You will need it for the zip file with The old Android Market apk I attached with this post.
Get NoBloat Free from the market and fire it up.
Open the 'remove apps' tab and search for "com.android.vending.updater''. AKA AndroidUpdater.apk.
Disable it or remove it with a backup. Your phone will shut down. Wait around 10 seconds and boot it up.
After your phone is rebooted, fire up AndroZip and unzip the .zip file you can download from below.
Install the Old Market apk and you are done! See how it doesn't update itself when you reconnect to the internet! Have market fun!

Did this post helped you? Hit the thanks:thumbup: button! I really like it
Worked perfectly for me on my Galaxy Note N7000 under GB XXLA4
The app I had to uninstall was "Market Updater" - I used Titanium Backup to uninstall
I left 'Market Feedback' in place
Had to uninstall updates from "Google Play" as described.
The background process spawned by Google Play has now disappeared (as expected) and a second instance of Google Maps service has also disappeared. Maybe the new Play keeps asking where I am (in the background)... Not nice, Google...
Thanks OP
Worked on my SD-card-bootable Nook Color with CyanogenMod 7, too Thanks again
Have a new Coby Kyros tablet running 4.0 OS. I have installed several of the market and the new apk for Android. I get the same result. I click and it starts the App for 1 second then closes. I can see it says loading in the background. Tried installing several different ones but the same result.
What can be the problem? The table is brand new and this is the first app I am trying to load.

i've rooted my kindle fire and installed Google Play. I can access the Play Store but when I try to download the download screen just hangs with " Starting Download" and nothing happens. Thanks to all who respond.
Is there anywhere to download earlier Netflix apk version file which works well and compatible with NXM805MC Nextbook tablet ?
The latest Netflix I download when I install and play sometimes intermittently flicker green or play a black screen when I try to play something.
Thanks
When i open the program for the first time the toolbox updater does nothing and when i try to install google services it closes the program down and does nothing. Im trying to upgrade my fire HD8 tablet to a android OS thinking this is the reason i cant install the app for a drone i bought.
