(Solved) Downgrading Google play to old 2.0 market

I figure why not and downgrade to the classic android market, don't care for Google play much. So how would I downgrade to a very early version like that and prevent it from re-updating back to Google play?

Well, you could find an apk somewhere for an older version (extract from a rom, for example) and delete/freeze market updater apk.

This is a good idea

[APK] Old Market v2.3.6
What coccolino_dbro said. Here's the apk for old Market v2.3.6. Got it from BlackICE ROM for HTC DHD.

Thank you, so I would freeze market updater with nobloat and then install this apk which would replace the current one?

I disabled the market updater with nobloat, that should hold right?

freeze market updater, delete the old market apk and replace it with the new apk

I disabled it with no bloat and installed the new apk which replaced the old apk

Does it work then?

Well I disabled it with nobloat, but after a reboot the icon changed and it upgraded to the version where the shopping bag android icon changed a little. So I tried freezing it, after a reboot it was back to Google play.

Do I need to delete the play store before installing the new market one?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda premium

I deleted the old one, installed the new one, and it won't stop crashing.

Guys, my phone's market is really screwed up, someone please help.

Try deleting MarketUpdater.apk and the Google Play apk through a root file browser. I think Google play apk is called Phonesky.apk and not Vending.apk. Anyway delete both those files from your /system/app folder and then move the old market apk to the folder. Set permissions to rw--r--r (same as all the other apps in the folder) and reboot. Should work now. Copy the MarketUpdater.apk to your SD card before deleting, just in case.

In the past i have been able to recover them without touching anything, but this time it's giving me hell. I think i need to move the files, but not sure where, and of course the dev won't respond.

I simply used root browser to move all the files from my saved gallery lock folder, into the new gallery lock folder that was hiding in sdcard-data- gallerylock. Then i opened the app again and did the recovery again.

1. I could send you a file taken from stock ROM but you forgot to provide you ROM version
2. you can try to extract it yourself - there's a tool for ROM conversion to format mountable on PC (with e.g. Ext2Fsd & gizmo)
3. I found port of it for non-TW ROMs somewhere on xda - don't remember the link, but try searching for "TW clock"

Hey thanks for taking the time to reply. I am on LQ2 ICS. If you could send file to [email protected] or post here or whatever that would be ace. I will have a look for TW clock as well.

No such luck with the TWClock search.

Images are missing from gallery ?

after flashing cm10 job rom images are missing but the files are there present on SD card so what to do now.
Thanks
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

If your pictures are not appearing in the gallery you might have to wait a few especially if your just installed the ROM (it may haven't "seen" those files yet). You can also try Clearing Data/Cache for the Gallery app. Another thing you can check is to make sure there isn't a file called ".nomedia" in the folder containing your images as that will "hide" them from being seen by the Gallery.

I hope this is helpful:
I'm not sure this will work, but sometimes my songs wouldn't show up in the Music app. I accidentally discovered that by renaming any random file on my SD card (via some file exploring app such as ES File Explorer) it refreshed my music library and all songs were rediscovered.
I'm not sure this will work for pictures, but it's worth a shot. Definitely do the usual troubleshooting...clear cache etc.

Will try this but I had installed ROM last night they haven't shown up yet

Try rebooting, and if that doesn't work then just download quickpic or another gallery replacement on the play store
