Long story short. A guy modded an old play store apk so that there's a section that still shows all the apps you've bought. The newer play apps have all the apps you've ever downloaded, but looks like they got rid of the bought section. It's been modded so that it can run alongside the regular play store without interfering. I'm running Calkulin's el29 2.8.1. I had to copy to /system/app with root explorer, then grab connectbot, run a local, su then cd to directory and chmod it then reboot. It's on modoco's forum. http://www.modaco.com/topic/356009-legacy-play-store-with-all-purchased-apps-visible/ Look for djfoo000's post if you don't know what to do. Like I said, I skipped to the last two commands because I didn't go the adb route. The person who modded the file said he doesn't want mirrors, to just link to the post over there. This is not warez, nor is it trying to steal traffic for making money off them, so I hope this is okay with the mods.
Thanks for posting this. Worked great for me. Forgotten I had purchased most of the apps.

That may be the reason they got rid of it, so people aren't staring at how much money they spent!

Well I have a couple apps that I am modding to my liking. I'm modding the actual apk file itself. Is it ok to post them when finished, or could that be an issue
If they are free I don't see why not.
Free does not always equal open source or give you the right to distribute.
You should email the developer to make sure.
I just figured it would get deleted by a Mod due to the fact it wasn't my work originally. I got a couple I know people will like.
Fancy Widget, working on a clear Pandora (couple versions actually), and Some more that I come across.

I second this. An e-mail to the dev would be the best idea.
Wonder how Pandora would respond to a bad grammer, spelling, and sounding email? Hey look at this email this no body actually thinks we will give him permission to distribute our program, just changed to his liking. haha

Haha, post it here and I'm sure we can proof read it for you.
Pandora was only a small start-up not too long ago. Although I think your chances are VERY slim on getting them to give you permission to redistribute their APK. Think about it, what if you started putting in a virus and everyone blames it on Pandora?
If you have a clear theme you want people to use, you're probably better off packaging something yourself that requires users to download the official APK for Pandora and modify the contents themselves.
What I just described is pretty common practice as it puts the modification of the content in the end users hands which is (arguably) within their rights.
So posting a zip of some original images (not modified versions of theirs) and instructions on downloading their APK and making the modifications is the safest way to do it.

Yeah I know they wouldn't give me permision haha. I don't know how to even create a virus. But your point is clear to me. So my easy install of clear Pandora will just sit in a folder for personal use.

How about posting a not-do-easy install?

I've never looked into the structure of apk files but I thought it was compiled code? How are you modifying it?

i've seen plenty of roms that have pandora (themed) included. would what you're wanting to do be any different?
i've even seen an "adless" version of pandora floating around somewhere before.

All I wanted was a transparent Pandora. I made every widget 50% transparent. I know there is metamorph and there is a theme/skin floating around that will do it. But, I dont like having to go through the process of downloading Metamorph, download this, download that. Just wanted to have it as a apk. I haven't used Metamorph since nexus one sold it 2 months after buying it. Might have changed since then, but it used to fail on doing some skins.
you should just make the theme, and let people morph it themselves. a theme is not the same as distributing the application.
I have checked and havent found something like this yet so if it is out there I'm sorry.
My question is what are some of the apps you have found since rooting your evo that are "Must Have" apps.
Like I know about wireless tether but what else.
I know I could just go to market place and look for apps but that really doenst tell me if they are any good, And I'm sure people here have found apps that they just can live without.
So what have you found that is Must haves? Utilities, social, media, games. anything you consider must have?
Thanx
P.S. I think this is an approriate place to post this but if not could one of the ops move it to the appropriate place, thanx
Nothing? Really?
Check out the link in my sig. The OP has a decent list of apps that I use regularly and other people have posted their lists too.
I forget the name of the app since I have flashed many ROM's since I last used it, but the one "must have" app is the one that pulls in over-the-air local hd tv. It put Sprint TV to shame. Anyone remember what it is called?
Would love to know.

mikfroyo evo!
Once you're rooted, do the following mod @ forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879996 and then you can stream XViD/DiVX movies over the network... that's my favorite.
Dropbox can be run without root, but that is my other must have app...
Search.
This has been asked and answered many times. There area few good threads listing must have apps. I'm on my phone so can't link

Here's a thread that I started with links as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715767
Hello everyone, I'm a total noob here, and I have been searching my butt off trying to figure out how to try and get the music beta app working on the TP2. I am running froyo7. It seems that in my build. android market thinks that my phone is a Mid-Tex Cellular, when I am actually a sprint customer. Now before anyone say "search" I have I have been reading up how to edit my build.prop, watching youtube videos on how to as well, with a lot of google searching on the side. I am getting most of my info for different phones and don't know if these codes will work.
In my search the closest that I found was this quote from this thread...
"When using this ROM my device shows up as "Mid-Tex Cellular" on the Android Market.
Is there any way to change this?
..............................................
change the line in build.prop that is closest to this to this:
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-google-us
it should have come as this out of the box
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-sprint-us"
When I look in my build.prop I can't find anything close to this?
A little help for a worthless noob would be awesome.
Well first I would simply try adding that line to your build.prop. Just because it isn't there doesn't mean you can't add it .
As for Google Music, I am a member of the service but haven't messed with the app on my phone. Only listened to it on the webUI. I guess I need to try on my phone .
Edit - did you just try installing the apk directly? Seems like a much easier solution...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072655
Edit 2 - just installed that apk myself, works fine. For some odd reason I can only get it to show local music tho, I don't see any of my music that's "in the cloud"... hum.

hey,
check whether your google account sync in settings is syncing to google music. also for me, I had to restart my phone to get the app to realize that my google account had music beta.

I checked the sync settings, that was my first thought.
I'm leaning towards your second suggestion, since I haven't rebooted since installing it. Thanks for the suggestions.
I also had to do some crafty work clearing caches and such to get it to pick up my online account

i went into the application manager too in setting and cleared the data for the application too.
Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I searched like crazy for music beta, and never came up with that thread... I am going to try it as soon as my lazy phone decides it wants to work. LOL
This is what I am talking about with the Mid-Tex Cellular, I have gone to the web site, the market etc... and it wont allow it to install. So this is why I was thinking about changing the build.prop, but I don't exactly know how to... I have searched, but I don't know if I can just add some random code from my first post and have it work?

Up! I'd like to have it too. I have an "incompatible" device too which actually runs ICS x). I downloaded this app on a compatible phone to get the apk but I couldn't find where it was on the phone and when i used a software that saves app on sd card it said it was "private" and i couldn't save it.
FFS it is a free app, why is it so hard to get it?
May be you could give us a link Jughead101, I searched but didn't find.

i'm using chrome extensions, its name was apk downloader which can download apk directly from google play, you can found it at google

I know. I tried a lot of things. And till now its almost impossible to get the apk. I'm searching for days, and with no result so far. I realy want the cyman mark 2 apk for my LG optimus black. but it keeps saying that my device is not compiteble. I tried the google chrome extension(doesn't work with that app). I tried to modify my phone so google play can see my phone like its compiteble, but that won't work either. Somebody have any ideas the get the apk?
Hey could you give me a link how to make google play think my phone is compatible? I'd really like that even if it doesn't work for this app ^^.
Btw i asked the developper to send me the apk (thx it's free, we never know xD). I'll keep you in touch world .

Hey everyone, I have a couple questions about rooting a Kindle fire.
I bought one for my wife off of Craigslist for $100. Great shape. works great. Internet browser works great.
It has several applications installed on it related to GO? Like GO launcher EX and GO store, GO weather themes, etc. I thought I could use the GO store to download apps but everytime I would try to search and download I would get no search results not matter what I typed in the search bar.
The guy I bought it from said I could use Android market on it to download apps but I couldnt find the market anywhere on the tablet.
I assumed it needed installed so I downloaded Root Explorer and was following directions to install android market from a Youtube tutorial. Everything was working great until I needed to "move" an exported file to another file location.
The kindle was not giving me the option to move the file and the tutorial said if I didnt have that option I was not rooted.
So can I "reroot" it and then install android market?
Any advice you can give would be great, sorry if this was covered in another thread.
thanks again! :good:
wow thanks for all the info! really helps! Ill try that asap
And no I do not have a kindle fire. I just bought it for her because she wants to be able to read 50 Shades of Grey whenever she wants....lol

by "the first book" do you mean the bible? that's free on most outlets such as the kindle app which is available from the google play store. nobody here is going to direct you to a link to pirate things though... if you must find illegal copies of books I would try searching for digital copies of the book in question on google
