Google Play v3.9.16 with Removeable ex-apps option

I always annoyed by seeing all the existing apps in the play store that I no longer wanted. I found this modded Google Play give you that option to remove it from your "all" menu in the play store.
ROOT required - You can either do it manually replace the Phonesky.apk in the /system/app (unzip the file attached - and don't forget to change the permission rw-r-r--) or use flashable cwm zip.
here - Google Play v.3.9.16
Enjoy !!!
Edit: BTW- You might have to re-create PlayStore shortcut in the home launcher.

Great found

Google Play working on Rooted KF [No ROM]

All you have to do is download gapps here: Google Apps or simply get the play store here: Google Play
Then all you have to do is open up a file explorer, navigate to /system, and open up the build.prop file. Next simply change ro.build.host to "vpak6.mtv.corp.google.com".
Reboot and the market should be working!

Hi guys, today I will show you how to force install Google Play Services in some ROMs.
Method #1 (My thread, actually):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2248648
Method #2 (Only tested on Hyperion 8):
1. Download lastest Google Apps from anywhere.
2. Extract it.
3. Paste the files into their respective location (expect META-INF).
4. Change their permission to rw-r--r-- (if you want do it)
5. Reboot into CWM.
6. Wipe data, cache & dalvik cache.
7. Do fix permissions and reboot.
8. Open Play Store and tap Agree. Then let it download Google Play Services.
Method 3:
1. Download lastest Google Apps from anywhere.
2. Extract it.
3. Extract your ROM.
4. Paste the extracted Google Apps into the extracted ROM (into their respective location).
5. Rezip your ROM (and resign the zip)
6. Flash it, do fix permission and reboot.
7. Open Play Store and tap Agree. Then let it download Google Play Services.
NOTE: It is recommended to make Nandroid backup first. Do it at your own risk.

There's other Google service (base files) need to be installed instead of only the Play Store or Gmail apk files for it to work. And the base file cannot be installed by normal way but .zip files through a custom recovery. You can get the base+App store from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ps-light-edition-google-apps-android-t2548351
After that you can just get the Gmail app from the Play store.

Google Playstore can't connect

Why my phone can't connect to playstore? it show "No Connection" and button 'Retry" huhuhu....

try to delete google account then reboot.then again sign to your google account then reboot again but not necessary.now see if you can connect to playstore

Open your root explorer program > open etc folder > open hosts with text editor then remove any (#) before the address you see... [For example {#127.0.0.1 localhost}... Will be {127.0.0.1 localhost}]
Save it try the play store
