(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?

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?

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.

[Q] How do I reinstall stock applications on my S3?

I recently flash CM10, and I lost all my stock GS3 applications that came with my s3. I would like to know where I could get them all and how to install them, Because I know they will not install just by putting them on the SD-Card and trying to install them that way.
Thanks In Advance...

What do you mean? They come installed on the phone... Are you on ROM that didn't have them or something?

Yes im on CM10
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Some of them show in your apps in play store
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Pretty sure you can't use some sammy apps on cm10 you'd have to flash back to stock.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

did u flash gapps package after cm10?

I think he is looking for touchwiz applications that will work with CM10, if im readin correctly.

go to the "My Apps" on Plat store then to All Apps and it they might be there, most of them were for me.

If you want TW apps don't flash an AOSP ROM...
New here?

If you are running a custom ROM, some will allow Google to redownload them through Playstore, but some dont. I was using SynergyRom and I had to re install all of my apps manually, but Ive since switch over to CleanRom 2.0 and when my phone rebooted, it already started downloading and installing my apps right away that I had on my Stock out of the box Rom. Everything you download and install from PlayStore is backed up on Google servers(If you have the option to back up apps checked in settings) for easy reinstall on a new or different device or if you have to do a factory wipe.

check play store alot of verizon apps are there

That's weird. It says it's not compatible with my P3113. I don't really care I have it on my SIII anyway.

I would very much like such a thing as a modded apk so it would be compatible with all tab 2 7" because i'm still not able to download this app and there has been no update on the playstore allowing me to download..help??

I'm in the same boat... What ROM are you running?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app

Stock rom from samsung unrooted.

Play edition Galaxy S4 leaked, new camera app

OP/Pics link here -- http://phandroid.com/2013/06/27/and...leaked-new-camera-app-available-for-download/
If you needed any further proof that Android 4.3 was, in fact, real and headed to Android devices in the very near future, look no further than the leaked screenshots nabbed by SamMobile. What you’re looking at is test build of Android 4.3 (JWR66N) for the Galaxy S4 Google Play edition, running on a regular ‘ol Galaxy S4.
While we don’t know specifics involving the exact changes from 4.2.2. to 4.3, it’s said we could finally see Bluetooth improvements, as well as that new fangled camera application currently found on the Google Play edition HTC One and GS4 running 4.2.2. When it comes to the camera, that can already be downloaded/sideloaded onto your device like any other app. Works without a hitch on most devices.
Download here-- http://www.mediafire.com/download/8tu1o85d21a61i7/camera.google.play.edition.apk
Instructions to install:
1. Download the camera.apk
2. Use a file explorer using root(example root explorer)
3. Copy and paste or move this apk in ur system/app
4. Reboot
5. Walla!
Or

Using Titanium, back up your current Gallery app, then uninstall it with Titanium. It will install then, and if you don't like it, just uninstall it like a regular app and restore your old Gallery with Titanium.

I posted an update in the original thread that works if you already have the old version installed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024460&page=125 (message # 1243)
If you don't have the old version already installed, follow the instructions in the OP, then update it using my method.

I'm having lots of luck with the new Google Wallet.

Other required reading: Install the xposed framework installer (must be rooted, natch), and the Google Wallet module for it.
