[Q] How to stop play store from updating? - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

Last year I do remember that someone posted a method by removing some file which prevented google to updating play store (it was called Market then)
I prefer the old black theme much better how can I retain it? I restored it from my backup but google updates it all over again n again. There must be a way to stop this update, please tell me how?

Found a way from a note I had stored earlier when I did this last year.
From the system folder I deleted MarketUpdater.apk after taking the backup & then reinstalled the older version. It now wont update.
You need to have root permissions before you can do it.
Hope it helps others.
I would like to know what was the last dark theme version before the new lighter version came out, as of now I have installed 3.10.14 is this the latest?

THe main reason I reverted to older version was that I wanted a dark theme but now I found a play store mod here

It offers the latest version with black dark theme so you get best of the both.
I hope it helps others.

Yes New Market. I found it on this page and it worked for me. There are other zip files in this thread but others said they were getting force closes on them.

Got swiftkey x for. 10 cents in android market instead, hopefully that works.

I deleted the original "libswypecore.so" in system/lib in order to get the new swype to install and work right when I was on original stock rom.
I could only use the beta, swype has some thing where if you run a rom you have to use the beta. Anyway, i finally just gave up after a few days.
DX+CM7
Uninstall swype, delete libswypecore, swype.apk if exists, reboot. Install whichever color here you want(latest beta) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124639
Reboot again...enjoy

Sprint app removal

Okay, so I installed the Sprint Zone app because I actually use it and find it functional. However, with the latest update it also installed sprint fun & games. Something I don't want. I searched for the file using root explored and also checked the system app file and data app file. I can't find it anywhere to rename it bak. Anyone have any luck finding it?

After I saw this thread yesterday I looked around for it too. Seems they are linked somehow, but this is what I saw under app info, at the very bottom.
Both are the same app you need to uninstall the update

I went a head and uninstalled the update. After I did that the app forced closed and wouldnt function properly. The only way to get it to work as before was to update it. I went through the app file and found the fun and games and seen the launch was set to 1. I wonder if changing that to 0 would mess with the Sprint Zone app? Now I just need to find an editor.
