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
APK Safe is an app that saves the APK of apps on your device when they are updated.
Later, you can install one of the saved APK to upgrade/downgrade your app.
How to use it:
Long press an app in the list. The app is selected and you can add more apps in the selection. Press the add button in the action bar, APK safe will saves the APK of the selected apps and each time you update (manually or from a store) one of these apps, the new APK is saved as well.
To change the version of an app (there is a green mark at the left of the card), press it. A popup will list the backup APKs of that app and you can select one of them to replace the currently installed one. If you downgrade and app on android 4.2 and later, the app will uninstall it first.
The app doesn't requires root but if your device is rooted and you activate "Install as root" in the settings, you'll get more features:
Silent install: upgrading/downgrading an app will show a progress bar while installing the app. You don't have to confirm the replacement, validate permissions, ...
On android 4.2 and later, you can downgrade without loosing data (without root, downgrading requires to uninstall first meaning loosing data)
Features:
Automatically save the the APK when an app is installed.
Can uninstall selected app, show informations or open the app on the market (support google play, amazon and samsung)
You can choose the backup folder for the APKs in the settings. If you want to save your APKs on a microSD on android 4.4, you MUST choose the folder /mnt/extSdCard/Android/data/net.cyl.apksafe/files/backup, where /mnt/extSdCard/ is the root of your sd card (the name maybe different on your system).

Good app mate. I'm going to test it.
Are you one of those people that hate the new Facebook Messenger features? Such as My Day? Continue reading to find out how to disable/downgrade the Messenger app!
METHOD 1 (XPOSED FRAMEWORK AND ROOT REQUIRED!)
If you have a rooted device with Xposed Framework installed then this method is for you!
1. Download this Xposed Module: "My Day Off Messenger Xposed" [NOTE: Unfortunately this app is NOT FREE!] (I have tested this app and it works 100% perfectly).
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.john.mydayoffxposed
2. Enable the module in Xposed Installer.
3. Reboot!
4. Done!
METHOD 2 (NO ROOT REQUIRED!)
If you do not have root access and do not have Xposed Framework installed on your device then don't give up yet! There is still an alternative! (I have tested this method)
NOTE: Make sure that you have "Auto-update apps" turned off. To do this open the "Play Store" then click on the three lines at the top left hand corner of the screen and select "Settings" then at the top under the "General" section select the "Auto-update apps" and change it to "Do not auto-update apps".
1. Uninstall the current version of Facebook Messenger that you have installed.
2. Download this Facebook Messenger version:
ARM devices (For most devices like the Samsung Galaxy S3, S4 etc...)

X86 devices (Very uncommon, for devices like the Acer W500 Hybrid Tablet and other supported devices)
Link: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/facebo...90-0-0-14-70-3-android-apk-download/download/
3. Install the Messenger.apk file that you downloaded.
4. Sign back in to Messenger!
5. Done!
