THIS DOESN'T WORK. LINKS REMOVED.
Just out of curiosity, I was wondering if anyone with a Tegra device could post the files for "Dark Meadow: The Pact THD". It's a free app, but it's only available to download on Tegra devices; and I only have Exynos devices.
UPDATE: Read posts quoted below!

XDA Members, Exynos Device Owners, and Avid Gamers:
These are Box & Dropbox links to my modified "Dark Meadow: The Pact" *.apk . This modified *.apk has had both the device checks and the license checks removed. For those interested in getting this game to work on Exynos-based devices, I wish you the best. I've been working on it all night and I'm just too tired to keep going. I'll get back at it after I've slept for a while. Please just keep in mind that you absolutely must have the SD data for this to run. There's no point in troubleshooting any problems if you haven't downloaded and extracted the SD data first.
So anyway, here are the links. Best of luck to you!

Okay. First and foremost, YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD AND EXTRACT THE SD DATA! The game will not do it for you. I have removed the license checks, which means that the game won't close due to an invalid license. However, because the license checks are gone, that also means that it can't validate the license you have. So SD data download from within the game is impossible. If you download and extract the SD data to "/sdcard/Android/data/", then install my *.apk, it will launch successfully. Unfortunately though, it still freezes and crashes after the third splash screen. If you need the SD data, here's the link. http://depositfiles.com/files/lizpiamcz

Yes, it still doesn't work for me.
I should point out that I've already tried downloading the 8MB apk and installing it. It wouldn't work. I suspect this has less to do with it being a Tegra game and more to do with the fact that the actual Market download isn't 8MB; it's 538MB. No... I'm not ****ting you... It really is 538MB. It doesn't download 530MB post-install; it's an actual 538MB installation. That is why I specifically asked for someone with a Tegra device to install, backup, and upload all the files for this game. I apologize. I should have elaborated in my first post.
Now, to sweeten this pot. I'll chuck in $5.00 via PayPal to whoever posts all the necessary files for this. Thanks in advance!

I'm on the latest ICS Stunner and I can download it from the market (all 538MB) with no problems however the game simply will not run on our devices, with or without Chainfire.

I'm pretty good with getting things running on unsupported devices. I'm even fairly confident that I'll be able to get this running without even using Chainfire 3D. I'm trying to download the SD data now. If it works, I'll try to get the game working. If I'm able to do that, I'd be happy to share it with you. Also, just for kicks, could you zip and upload your ICS Stunner build.prop please. I'd like to try your fingerprint for potential build.prop mods on the Note and Tab 7.7.

Okay. I've got the *.apk and the full SD data. However, I keep running into problem after problem. I have never encountered an app that I couldn't get working on my device, as long as it was built for my device's version of Android. However, I may have to admit defeat with this one. I tried the "all devices" *.apk, but it had problems of it's own. So I made my own "all devices" *.apk and it seemed to work. However, the game also has some pretty intense license checking as well; which makes very little sense being that it's a free game. Anyway, I went ahead and made yet another *.apk and this one has the device check and the license check removed. With Chainfire 3D set to use the NVIDIA plugin, I can now successfully launch the game and it will load the first three splash screens and start playing the title music. However, it freezes on a black screen and crashes after that.
I'm going to bed now; but if anyone would like to give it a shot over the next few hours, I'm going to go ahead and post a link to my newest *.apk with device check and license check removed. Feel free to give it a shot. Just a head's up though, you absolutely must have the SD data to get it to work. It will not, under any circumstances, allow you to download the SD data yourself..... unless you legitimately installed the app from the Play Store.

Hi all heres the latest google playstore
3.9.16
Download: http://beta.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390135922294521859
Google just started rolling out an updated Google Play Store version 3.9.16 that follows the previous version 3.8.17 from August. Good news, everyone - we've already got our hands on the APK for you to install manually thanks to our loyal tipsters.
What's New
The most notable and immediately apparent new feature is the long overdue ability to remove apps you've previously downloaded from the All Apps list. If you like to try a lot of apps, that list is likely very cluttered. With the new Google Play, you can trim it to your heart's content.
Update #1: You can multi-select by long-pressing any app in the list and then tapping more apps, then delete them all in one go (added 2 new screenshots demonstrating it).
Update #2: The new Play Store now keeps track of your location in lists, including My Apps and All Apps, so when you click into an app and back, it drops you into the same spot. I had variable luck with this, and it didn't seem to work in All Apps at first, but I just reproduced it on both the EVO LTE and the Nexus 7. Brilliant.
Update #3: The notification icon that shows up when you have app updates has changed, and notifications are now expandable. I've added more screenshots showing the differences.
The size of the Play Store APK actually went down, so Google must have trimmed some extra fat. We're still digging through everything
Thanks androidpolice
Finally! I wonder though.. will it decrease app download amounts? Obviously if people remove it, it wasn't something they liked..

What happens if you have the same Google account on 2 devices and have an app on 1 but not the other and you remove the app from the device that doesn't have the app installed?
What happens if you delete a purchased app? Do you have to pay for it again if you want to re-install it later?

Can't answer the first one, but I just uninstalled a paid app to test for you. When I searched afterwards, it shows up as a purchased app, so I think you'll be good on that front.

I'm on paranoid android 2.2 rom on my Nexus 7, I have gapps ending in "26" installed, which I believe are the gapps from August, and installing this gives me an error message "conflicting signatures".....I don't even have the play store under "downloaded" apps like you would normally find it, but it is under the "all" tab. It was suggested that I rename the apk to "phonesky" and copy it to system/apps, I don't even see "phonesky" anywhere in the files, it's not on my Nexus 7. Can someone please help me out of the know what I can do to get this installed? It's so baffling that a simple apk won't install.
I would appreciate any help at all. Thank You.

Hi,
I recently got my Nexus 5 and tried to activate whatsapp in the device.
I'm able to install the app, but when I type my number and click "OK", I'm getting an error message saying that
"Unable to connect. Please check that you are connected to the internet and try again. Please reboot your phone if your connection problem persists"
I tried rebooting the device multiple times, uninstalled and installed the app and also tried installing the app from the whatapp site, but the issue still exists.
I tried sending the SMS to my own number thru Hangouts and i'm able to receive it successfully.
Please let me know if there is anything that I'm missing here. or let me know any other troubleshooting steps.

No worry mate..
do this.
Uninstall the whatsapp and install it from play store, DONT OPEN the app.
tether your friends data(internet)and then open the app and do the settings.
This happens due to bad signal or poor internet connection. I faced the same issue.
Press thanks if I helped you.

anyone want to use art and whatsapp, try purity rom. whatsapp works with art enabled, even all my apps that previously didn't work now working great. (md.emu, snes9x)
authentication done, but...
Now the whatsapp login issue is fixed on my Nexus 5,
I used my friends 3G as hotspot and was able to perform authentication.
But still(on 2G), I'm not able to send or receive any chats.
Any feasible solution for this?
It must be your carrier blocking it? Because it works fine on 2g here, I just checked.
Can u tell me how to send mp3 files or songs on watsapp through nexus5
To get milk music working on rooted, not samsung (and older samsung) devices.
Step 1: Back Up Your Build.prop
Just make a copy somewhere on your sd card, also make a backup of your os.
Step 2: Tweak Your Device Brand & Model.
Now go back to the /system directory, but this time tap on build.prop, don't long-press. Choose RB Text Editor to edit the file, then look for the model, brand, and manufacturer lines (highlighted below). Your original ones will show:
Note:as there are so many devices the <text> areas below will instead be specific to your device but the rest should be the same.
ro.product.model=<model>
ro.product.brand=<brand>
ro.product.manufacturer=<manufacturer>
Simply change them to match a (newer) Samsung device. I used a Galaxy S4.
ro.product.model=Galaxy S4
ro.product.brand=Samsung
ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung
Step 3: Save the build.prop
Step 4: Sideload the apk, because the play store still wont let you download it. So I am hosting an apk copy in my dropbox for ya'll.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/a16vvbhu4h6gvg7/com.samsung.mdl.radio-1.0.176956 (1).apk
Milk Music will now work with most of the functionality that it would on a native Samsung device, except that you won't be able to log into a Samsung account for syncing stations or enable explicit content from the settings.
Please post if this is working or not working for you. Include your device name, android version, and rom version.
Please let me/us know of any tweaks to this process you had to preform in order to get this working.

Can I change back build.prop after install, or do I have to leave it for Milk to work?

you have to leave it for it to work... it is for that reason i am searching for a modded apk that bypasses that check so it'll work on any device w/o modding...

I don't know much about it, but it sounds like something an Xposed Mod might be able to address.
Well what do you know - there's a new module in xposed that can make it work. Looks like it was just added.

I used to run ART but eventually I went back because of xposed. After a while, I really just forgot the difference. Hopefully a modded apk will show up though.

i used ART for the first month of owning my N5... then i switched to dalvik for some of goodies that xposed offers... tried out a few and ultimately preferred stability over features and i basically removed all xposed and just left it with dalvik for a bit... I noticed lags and stutters here and there and eventually switched back to ART and I can honestly say that ART is MUCH smoother and stable than running any other mode... i've tested this extensively with various settings and setups (always stock ROM with stock kernel or Franco) and nothing is as smooth as using ART... so i'm not going back for even one feature using xposed... just my experience
I have a galaxy s3. I am using slimkat ROM. Is there a way for me to install and run Milk without having to change build prop?

I also have a S3 running slimkat. I didn't bother editing the build.prop and just installed the apk. Works fine. Not being able to log in sucks though because I need my explicit fix!
It is possible to install the Samsung account app on non touchwiz firmware. I have managed to sideload it into CM11 and a GPe ROM on my S4.
Here's the .apk that I have saved on my SD card for when I flash new firmware:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qptszssdcl52i5n/Samsungservice.apk
Install it like any other app. Then in settings>accounts, add a new account and select Samsung. The app will ask to update, then you can create an account or login to an existing one. Milk Music will automatically see the account and then you can enable explicit lyrics in the app.
The only problem I have with Milk Music is that I can't update it. Samsung changed the way it determines device compatibility and "broke" the app for custom firmwares. I had to sideload it and just have to search for the .apk whenever the app gets updated since it won't update via google play store.

I keep getting the "App not installed" error when trying to install the updated version , any ideas? The original version installed fine, I just can't update it with the latest.
Sorry, I don't have any idea what would cause that. I use the apk downloader to pull the file from Google play since my phone (t mobile S4 running the GPE firmware) comes up as incompatible when I try to go to the app directly the play store. This apk installed just fine for me. Try uninstalling the existing app and then install the 7/1 file.

I am seeing the same app not installed error let me know if I can help troubleshoot or get any info to you guys.
Thank you !
I don't have any involvement outside of providing the apks. I deleted the old files and left only the Samsung account apk and the latest milk music apk.
All I can suggest is deleting the old app, rebooting to recovery and clearing cache and dalvik and trying to reinstall. Maybe re-download the apk also. (Try apkdownloader or apkleecher to pull the actual file from Google play - that's how I managed to get it). Other than that, I can't provide any answers

Out of curiosity, what phone/firmware are you guys using?
Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk
Just wondering if there's any workaround to this but obviously, whenever flashing a fresh new rom and fully wiping the phone, all music pinned to Google Play Music becomes unpinned and have to be repinned again which can be annoying if you're a rom junkie. I used to move around on roms more frequently but my library is just too big now and switching roms becomes this huge task.
I was just wondering if there was anyway at all to keep pinned music on Google Play Music on the phone after clean flashing a new rom? (Other than moving the music manually to the phone via USB ofc, I still want to use the cloud).
Thanks in advance.
Are you not restoring a titanium backup??

Restoring through TB doesn't restore the pinned tracks I don't think. I haven't tried that in a while but the short amount of time it takes to back up Google Play Music alone shows it doesn't work I think. Also, the back up size is much too small so I'm pretty sure that doesn't work :/
Oh does pinned mean "available offline"?

Yeah that's what I mean. Making the music I have uploaded on my account available offline by pinning them and keeping that from rom to rom.
Where does it store it?
Maybe titaniums "backup external data" covers it?
If Not, I could probably write you a couple of bash shell scripts to run that would move it to and from /sdcard but may aswell manually the data.

I just tried the external data preference and the backups are still only 7MB total which is farrrr to small consideirng i've pinned 10GB+ of music. Anyhow, the problem is the pinned music does not show up in plain sight on the internal storage so moving them manually isn't really an option. Google Play Music hides/encrpyts it somehow I guess. I would hate to make you go through that, I'm sure someone has found a solution to this already hahahah

Meh, it's easier than you think
I just pinned some music.
The files are not encrypted By the way.
They're stored /data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music
Also the fact they're pinned is stored in a data base table data/data/com.google.android.music/databases/music.db in the "keepon" table
Im not sure if titanium backs up the databases but a simple set of scripts would be
Backup
mv /data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music/* /sdcard/playbackup/music
mv /data/data/com.google.android.music/databases/* /sdcard/playbackup/databases
Restore
mv /sdcard/playbackup/music/* /data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music
mv /sdcard/playbackup/databases/* /data/data/com.google.android.music/databases

Well I'm sort of a noob when it comes to the deeper parts of android like writing scripts lol How would you suggest I go about this? Looking at music.db, it's 7MB which is the same size as the TB backup that was made so maybe TB IS the answer? hahah not even sure at this point...
You need the files too though. Not just the database

No, it's possible like I said. You just move the database and the files to the sdcard, flash a ROM then move it back

Thats just your choice of file manager. I've moved the files out and back using root explorer. I've played them from the sdcard too. I've proved the concept. You just need to test for yourself and see what works best for you

Here are some scripts. Really basic
https://www.dropbox.com/s/mgbok8hlze0w2zq/ScriptManager.zip
Unzip them wherever and run them with script manager. You'll need give the scripts root permissions within script manager. It's free on play
