remove country restriction for all apps

Oh okay, that's pretty cool. I don't need it personally, but thanks for the development.

That doesn't sound terribly legal.
I'd expect this thread to be shutdown.

Its a mod which released yesterday and is not illegal.

Does this do a similar function to Market Enabler, but without the need for a separate app?

i don't understand what are trying to say.
This app Vending.apk is a Google Play Store, modded version. It remove countrys restrictions for apps.
I never had any FC yet... try and check your permission, refer OP for more info.

Sorry to say that but it is not working for me
I replaced the file using es explorer
Changed permissions
Rebooted
Opened the play market and still I can't find in search all of the applications that I know are not allowed in egypt (or middle east) market
Anything I can do to help debug this issue?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

sorry for not being clear
I know this is the google play store app, what i meant to say is that the phone installs another version after using this one (it installed the same version 3.5.16 i don't know why) so whenever i use this mod the phone automatically remove it and install an unmodded version again ... that's one thing
the other thing is that even when i was running this modded version i could not access apps from other markets i can only access egypt/middle east market

I tried it but it seems it's not working. I can't see the apps forbidden in my country. I followed the instructions but it's a no go!

I tried even uninstalling the stock play using TB and then installing this version yet failed to show me blocked applications also
I would like to know who is the creator of this modified to get in with to try and help debug the not working issue
I guess the op is not him

Cleared data & cache for the existing Play Store.
Uninstalled updates to make sure there isn't an installed version in /data/app/
used;
adb remount
adb push Vending.apk /system/app/Vending.apk
adb shell
cd /system/app
chmod 644 *

Used "Cut the rope free" as an example (The "free" version is region restricted) - still unable to see it - no obvious change.
Is it just supposed to be masking the MCC/MNC or is it providing them as a fixed alternate value?

Zingkey - wtf is that ?!

Hello, what is Zingkey ?
I haven't installed this app. I don't remember if it was before in Settings -> Language & Keyboards.
I just installed busybox and then appextractor, and market showed up update for this application.
Was it preinstalled in ICS ruu, or did i get some kind virus or something like that.
Sorry for noob question.

Have you zingkey there ?

Yes, HTCs stock ROM for ICS comes with two or three pre-installed keyboards for non-latin languages.
ZingKey is one of them.

Thx, i got scared a bit from it.

I just removed it together with the thai keyboard using titanium backup (root required).

If you're root, you can use ADB in recovery mode to move the JS_Keyboard.apk from /system/app somewhere else, which removes Thai Keyboard and Zinga (and stops that "choose input" icon from appearing)
Once in recovery, connect to computer and open "adb shell" (on windows, open CMD as administrator and type "adb shell"
Use these commands in numerical order. Anything without a number next to it is a note for you to read but not type in. Also dont type the number or the fullstop immediately after it
1. mount /system
2. mount /sdcard
ignore any errors
3. mkdir /sdcard/device_files
we make a folder to move the apk into for backup - you never know when you want the original back in place
4. cd /system/app
move to the apps folder
5. mv JS_Keyboard.apk /sdcard/device_files
move the app from your system to the backup folder
6. reboot
your phone will reboot with no thai keyboard or zingkey!
Also if you want to put it back (for any reason) then get back into recovery with adb shell, then do in order: 1. 2. 4. then the command: mv /sdcard/device_files/JS_Keyboard.apk /system/app" then "reboot"

You can disable zing key and thai keyboard without root using regular application settings.

to answer the original question:
It was included in the update. Ignore it if it isn't bothering you, removing wouldn't harm system either.

The keyboard in notification bar - asking me which keyboard do I want was quite annoying.
I uninstalled Zingkey as well as Thai Keyboard via Titanium Backup, no problems ;]

[Q] How to manually install .apk

I've been trying to install a particular app to my phone, Nexus 4, rooted custom rom, etcetc.
The app in question was pulled from the Play store some time ago and it seems Google went further and removed the free version of the app from users devices without permission as well. I have the pro version as did many others and from what I've read, the pro version was not removed. However I flash roms and eventually lost it and that required a reinstall.
The problem: traditional methods of installing the .apk give the error "App not installed."
How can I install this app manually? The only other method I could think of was to try to root copy it to /system/app but that didn't work. And I'll reiterate, so we're clear, browsing to .apk and installing through explorer by clicking it does not allow the .apk to install. So, suggestions?

You could try sideloading it using Android Injector. (If it fails, it'll tell you why)

Yeah it failed.
The application itself says install successful, but the app cannot be found on the phone.

There are a few websites that allows you to download apps in its apk format. You can install that way. But I'm not sure if its legal. Someone could correct me here.
Please hit Thanks if I helped

The OP stated that this method does not work in this situation.
NB. - It is legal unless the app is warez.

That uses the same method as manually installing the apk from a file manager.
Sent from my Nexus 4

The app isn't warez but it is one of the unapproved apps by google now, I mainly just wanted to look for an alternate method of installing apps in case this kind of app blocking became more prevalent. You have to admit, Google did a real number on blocking this app. Thanks for the help anyway guys.

the command that worked for me was:
adb install app.apk

You can make a folder in /system/app with its name without space as folder name and copy the apk to that folder.
Apk name should be same as the folder name +.apk.
Then reboot your device.
After reboot the app will be definitely installed as a system app. But some apps might be stable but some not.

[Q] [Solved] New Google Camera can't update

I saw that there's a new camera update available, and I tried to install it from the play store, but it gives me an error saying there's something wrong with the signature and refuses to install. I found an apk elsewhere and tried to install from that, but again, it would be give the an error message saying "an existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed".
I went to settings->apps->camera and cleared data, force stop, disable, etc, but nothing worked. I was using Jishnu's camera mod, but about a month ago, my camera app stopped working. I did flash it back to stock 4.4.2 found in Jishnu's thread, but still no luck. I even tried to uninstall camera using Titanium, but it couldn't find the apk.
Any ideas?
EDIT
Solved!
See post #6
Thanks!

Delete the old camera app using a file explorer. It'll be in /system/app/, /data/app/ or maybe even /system/priv-app/

I'm using ES File Explorer with root enabled, but it won't let me delete the GoogleCamera.apk. It says "Read-only file system". Permissions for the file is rw- r-- r--, and won't allow me to change anything about the file at all.

I downloaded the camera apk from that thread, but still no luck. With the originall GoogleCamera.apk deleted, now I just get a non-specific error saying "Application was not installed"

How I fixed it:
Delete GoogleCamera.apk in /system/apps
Flash the 4.4.2 camera restore found in Jishnu's thread
Camera should work now
Update camera
???
Profit!

Link please
I'm having this exact same problem. I'm running Omnirom, so I thought it was related to that.
Could you please link to the thread you are referring to?

In ES, expand tools, turn on root explorer, and click on root explorer. Change r/w settings so you can delete files

Yeah, really weird!
I couldn't get it to work with any combination of methods. Update from store, update with apk, uninstall and reinstall from store or with apk, nothing!
And today, as i was going to demonstrate to a friend how the update fails, all of a sudden the installation went through! I had downloaded the apk from AndroidPolice and merely went to install it (which had failed about ten times before!) and it worked!
I have no idea what changed, but I'm happy now. Loving the new UI. Simpler, and the new features rock. Just waiting for all the old ones to be brought back.
Battery drain sucks, tho...

how did you fixed it plz tell me

Need help after installing custom ROM

So, the ROM works fine and everything is dandy, but the main issue that irks me is that I have to press "ok" every time after disabling data:
http://gyazo.com/24c68b47ea03f668397c798bac1df55f
Is there a way I can change that the message does not show up or do I need to go into ADB? I'm not sure how ADB works either.
TestKnow has also released a universal ADB driver. Not sure how well that works or if anyone has pointers because I had a tough time installing ADB in the first place.
Another issue is the messenger app. There's a different version of the stock messenger app that I want to install because in this version I can send messages without typing anything:
http://gyazo.com/f38f7d74870c98b40d1e39ab66d24e19
I tried to push another app before but it just permanently crashed the app and I had to reflash. Is there another way? ADB again?
Thanks.

Sadly this is present in both stock 5.0.2 and 5.1.1.

The disabling data thing? I mean, I can live with this and the other issue, but I would be happier if I could fix them. I know phones aren't perfect so I'm just trying to be realistic here. I haven't downloaded any apps yet to see if I can remedy these two things first. Thanks for replying.

If you're rooted you can use mobile toggle data from xda.
Google it.
With that you can either make a widget or Tasker profile.

I meant from the pulldown menu like in this picture: http://gyazo.com/24c68b47ea03f668397c798bac1df55f
It's not a dealbreaker for me but it would be nicer.
Would you know how to push an apk into the system drawer? I wanted to add a different version of the messenger and maybe keyboard app.

You can use ROM toolbox pro to convert a user app to a system app.
Or if you already have a system app apk file then just paste or move it /System/app or priv app and set permissions using a file explorer then reboot phone.
