[APP] Google Play (Market) App v3.5.15

Sup Nation,
I am assuming this has been posted in other forums, but I bet there are people like me that only look at this section of XDA.
But I thought I would post up a link to get the new Google Play app.
Google have renamed the "Android Market" to "Google Play"
It has a slightly different UI on the phone, and the Google Play Website has been updated too.
Here is the link
The main improvement to the app: under the My Apps menu, you can see Installed and All Apps in a separate tab. This allows you to re-download any app you've previously tried and deleted, or paid for and uninstalled, bringing the functionality more in line with the desktop portal.
Enjoy people!

Thanks mate, but we already have a thread in this forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1549660

Download & Install Flash Player on JellyBean

Free app in Google Play Store that will download and install Flash Player 11 for you on JB. I know you can sideload Flash but some folks may like an app to make it easy. Better hurry and get this app before the silly people at Google or Adobe decide they want it removed. LOL
EDIT: Looks like this app was removed from Play Store. See my post below.

Sorry folks, this thread was pretty quiet, so I haven't followed it. I was half kidding when I said to get it quickly before someone makes the dev remove it from Play Store. The dev's name is Xper and I found two of his other apps but not the Flash 11 downloader. There was also a link to his website but it just gave me a re-direct link which was useless.
Unbelievable that the dev had to remove it. I found this link for the app, looks like you have to register with email etc. but the app is still free.

EDIT: False alarm, I just registered but the link for the app redirects you to Play Store. Maybe emailing the dev will yield positive results???

Use aptiode to install flash worked perfect for me

Reviewing apps as A Google User?

How can I review an app as "A Google User"? I still see these with new dates in the reviews, but Google Play App is trying to force me to join Google Plus to post a review, which I want to have no part of.
I have rooted Sensation and would appreciate any advice on how to sidestep this new Google BS.
Thanks

Any ideas, anyone?

Just create a g+ account, you don't need to use it for anything else than reviewing!

I am still curious what people are doing to review as "A Google User"

Odp: Reviewing apps as A Google User?
That's simple. These guys use Market 2, and even after you have it connected to g+ on website or some newer version of google play, on the old one it shows as google user.

Somewhere over xda. But I can't guarantee it will work, as it is old version. Since it changed into Google Play, and updated to version 3.10, Market 2.3.6 may not support your device well, even on Gingerbread, not saing about ICS. I cant test it, because I don't have Sensation yet. You can browse und buy apps only, forget about books, movies...
Mayby it's better just not to review apps?
Its gonna look like this

I don't use the books, movies part of Google Play anyway. I only use it for apps. But once I install the old version, how do I keep it from updating into Google Play automatically? Is the one you linked to appropriate for a Sensation? And I do have ICS, but I don't think Google Plus was required to do reviews in the early days of my ICS installation.

That is how I want my reviews to look, so I can do them without Google Plus.
Edit: I went to the other thread to make the download and the only link there has gone bad. It only downloads iLivid junkware. No link to the market apk at the hosting service.

Anyone have the APK for the last version of google play app that don't force us to join google plus to write a review for an app?
Thanks

How to download apk file directly from google play store.

Android, smartphone apps and games are packed as APK files. Learn how to easily download any APK file from the Google Play Store. Android apps are packaged as APK files. You'll be able to use any File Manager app to copy these files from the computer to your Android device and then touch the .apk file to install, or sideload, the corresponding app on your device.
There are various reasons why you may want to download the APK installer of an Android app from the Google Play store:
Google Play Store says that a particular app or game is incompatible with your Android device though you know that the app would work just fine.
Sometime an Android app may be not be available for download in the Google Play store of your region or country.
An app is listed on the Google Play store but you want to install that app on another Android device, like the Amazon Kindle tablet, that doesn’t have the Play Store.
An Easy Way to Download APK Files from Google Play:
Since this we will be using a web service EVOZI. This is a website which allows you to paste the App URL from Google Play Store. Once the app URL pasted it will make a direct download link. The download link will allow you download the APK file for any free Android App available on Google Play Store.
Since the App APK is brought from Play Store, their wont be any security issues. Also the internet site only allows free apps and not the paid at one time henceforth app piracy is not encouraged.
The APK file once downloaded can alongside loaded on your Android Phone and the app can be installed with just one click of a button.

So if its a pay for app do you have to pay for it, don't fancy trusting a randomer with my card details. I badly want the retail version of republique for my galaxy s3 but according to the playstore its incompatible.
It runs just fine but its a 'bad' copy that i have so I'm stuck between iraq and a hard place..

[Completed] Why do links to apps on the Play Store via XDA not open in Play Store app?

When I open a link on the XDA forums to an app on the Play Store from my browser (Chrome 48.0.2564.95) on my phone (OnePlus One, Omnirom 6.0.1 nightly, BaNkS dynamic GApps), the links do not open in the Play Store app; they open in a new Chrome tab.
E.g. from my phone, if I click this link (Google app on Play Store):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox,
the link opens in a new tab instead of the Play Store app. Links on other websites work just fine, but through XDA they don't. If I long-press the link on my phone's browser, I see that it is actually a link via an XDA API (a url like *click.xda~.com/api/click?*) that ends up linking you to the Play Store. Note that I don't see the XDA API links from my computer browser (Firefox 44.0), but the actual play.google.com link.
EDIT: the link above does open through play.google.com without the XDA click API on my phone an thus opens in the Play Store app. However, I have an example of a link that always fails me:
The first link in this thread (Cyanogenmod Calculator app) opens the website instead of the app on my phone.
I understand XDA wants to monitor what sites their forums link to, but I don't understand why my phone/browser doesn't end up opening the Play Store app instead of the Play Store website: even the API link should finally be redirected to some url like *play.google.com/store*, which is a link that my phone normally opens in the app instead of the website.
What might be causing this problem? Is this the intended behaviour by the XDA website, or is this a bug? Is there a fix?

Hello,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
I cannot reproduce this behavior on my device.The link you gave is directing me to the PlayStore.
@bitpushr can you take a look at this?
