[23AUG] "Hacked" Play Store 3.8.17.4 (Wishlist, delta "smart" updates, gift cards)
Hey guys,
I was looking for this yesterday and I found nothing, so I decided to "hack" the Play Store apk myself.
It's just 3.8.17 Play Store with Wishlist and (US only for now) gift cards activated.
How to install (or update)
1. Make a nandroid or backup Play Store by Titanium
2. Go to Settings » Apps » All » Google Play Store, tap "Uninstall updates" (if active) and confirm
3. Download my APK, place it on /sdcard and rename to Phonesky.apk
4. In Root Explorer (or any other file explorer that uses root permissions, but don't use ES File Explorer) go to /system/app and remove Phonesky.apk
---4.1. If you see any com.android.vending-*.apk file in this directory, remove it too
5. Copy Phonesky.apk from /sdcard to /system/app
6. Reboot

What exactly does this do? Aren't giftcards already enabled?

They aren't. It enables both them and wishlist. Both are fully usable, however there's no way to buy any gift code ATM

Can I ask if this is dpi hacked? As in for those who have a dpi of 162 like me it will fix the market incompatibility error?
If not how can I hack it to force the market to use a set dpi? Instead of reading my build.prop?

Nope. It lets you download apps unavailable in your country (they aren't shown in search results!) or for your device. It also lets you access and manage your Wishlist and gift cards.
Is that possible to free download to payable apps, can u do it?

It's impossible and illegal. Do not even ask for it.
Nice work webDeWo. Imma download this now. Funny how you hack a app that is free but not yet available now people want you to start getting apps for free. smh.
Hi, and thanks for sharing your work.
I have one question though : if I install an app while on the play store website on the PC, it will still download it to my phone with this hacked store ?
I'm sorry if I don't make any sense, English isn't my native language.

Can I ask what you did to change it? I've been trying to figure this out for the longest time. Plus sorry to be a pain but can you get rid of just device restrictions and not auto updating the market? I wouldn't mind if the market updated itself

He's talking about going to play. Google. Com and installing an app from there. But Google services framework is what handles that (if I'm not mistaken)

I just modified the function that checks whether the application is available for user to always return true. Simple, isn't it?

Hello everyone, I'm happy to say that I'm hosting a 'market' specifically for Sprint Hero root users. If anyone is interested in this, you can install it on your phone in a few steps.
First, download the market program and install it on your phone. It's at http://app2.bikcmp.com:4121/dl/Aptoide.apk
Once you install it, launch it and press no to add their default repository. Then, press menu>Manage repo>menu>New repository. The url to the repository should be EXACTLY:
http://app2.bikcmp.com:4121/repo/files/
After that, go back and you should be able to see the applications. If you're a developer and have a application you'd like to add, or have a question, feel free to email me: [email protected].
Yes, I know there aren't many applications in it right now.

Depends: A pretty way? No. A basic way? Yes.
http://app2.bikcmp.com/repo/files/ has a directory listing of the apk's, and you can download them from there too.

this thread is from may, im sure it's plenty outdated.
bike, why don't you get on making us a froyo sense based rom. your pancake rom was the **** back in the day.
I've just upgraded from a Galaxy Note and I'm looking for the Samsung Apps Store, as I've purchased a number through the Samsung store.
It's showing as unavailable in the Play store, so wondered if anyone knows if it's available to download elsewhere?
I think many samsung apps require touchwiz that's why you don't see many of them being ported.

Opens this link play.google.com/apps/testing/com.google.android.wearable.app and click the Become a Tester button to opt-in to the preview version of the app. You should be able to see the app in play store after a few mins.

Thank you very much for the APK but for some reason it will not instal even though that I'm running CM 4.4.2
Connect Android Wear App with Emulator
Hi,
Installed the above Wear apk succesfully, and it is running.
Did anyone succeed in linking this new Android Wear apk to the AndroidWear Emulator?
The Android Wear Preview connected over USB cable using adb -d forward tcp:5601 tcp:5601.
The Wear apk has an option to connect to the emulator, but using the USB cable its not connecting.
Can it only connect over Bluetooth?

I can upload apk files if needed, I'm in USA but was also part of the beta test program so my voice service worked for a while now, as far as custom Rom I'm pretty sure it needs to be touchwiz Rom to work I don't think it'll work in aosp type

Uploading to my drive now ill send links in few min when finished, should be 8 apk files

Does anybody know if changing the device's locale to the USA will fool Bixby to enable it to work?
Sent you pm with links and code of needed don't think you'll need code since I sent link to each of the 8 apk files. Let me know if you have an issue

As far as I'm aware bixby voice is a server side upgrade. At least int he beta it was. I'm not sure simply installing the apps works. In the end it's processed on Samsung's servers...

I have downloaded all the new apps from apk mirror.
But it did no work.
I am from Romania.
Is there any other way?
:fingers-crossed:
Links for the apk would be very much appreciated as well! Thanks! Any chance we can vpn so phone thinks we are in the US then get the update?

I think the update is for the sm-g950U only :crying:
VPN is irrelevant IMHO. Afaik Samsung goes by your Samsung account. My Samsung account is registered to Germany and can't be changed. I don't think geographic location is relevant for the update.
Some people in beta had success with creating a new Samsung account with VPN, changing the location of the new account to US. But nothing you could change in an existing account...
Only the US released phone's are now using Bixby.. has something to do with the csc as well. I hope that we have the option later on to use it in the English language
Hello Everyone!!
I have found a way (I think) to create useable installable fonts in APK stand alone installer package. Please try this font and see if it installs and works straight away on your device without any other loaders, external apps, or hacks. I am using a bone stock ATT Galaxy Note 9 512gb model and using the "MyFiles" app built in to install these packages. It worked on my Note 9 100%. Send me feedback. Please no flaming. I am trying to help us all. If my font is successful I will create more upon request from my library of thousands of fonts (assuming I have the font you request). :good:
Sorry I forgot to include a screenshot of the working font.
Is working fine, if you can add more fonts would be nice..
