Anybody have any idea how to stop play store from being updated automatically, I really like the old play store. I can remember there was something called marketupdater.apk in GB removing which actually stops the play store being updated itself but couldn't find anything like this Shpongle 4.2.2. Any idea guys??
Thanks anyway.

You can use titanium backup to stop the updating of Play store

it seems v2.3.6 version does not update itself.. you must install it.
1.your phone must be rooted
2.install "root app delete" app from market
3.delete the the market app named "vending.apk" using "root app delete" app
4.download and install "market v 2.3.6 " from web
that is it! I hope it will be helpful
Thanks for the information. I think the new play store sucks and will be reverting all roms of mine back to this. Two apps for google play is ridiculous bullsh*t. One for the store and one for settings thats 13 megs and expands to far larger upon use. What a joke.

I used a cracked version before of some apps. Now I want to buy them, and.. I can't.
I see on the market what I have purchased that app, but I can't download it, because I'm getting an error that I haven't paid for an app. Which is true.
So how then I can buy it? How to make Android market believe, that I don't have that app?

Props on coming clean.
Use TB to backup app data.
Uninstall.
Install through market.
Restore data.
Hi,
Thanks for quick reply.
I did that already. I uninstalled the cracked app, deleted appdata and cache before uninstall. Restarted the phone, but still in the market I see that I "purchased" the app.
App is not on my phone, but Google thinks that I purchased the app.
I tried to uy the app using pc and browser. Still the same.

This seems to be a serious flaw in the newest implementation of Google Play. Every app you install, even if you got it from GetJar or Amazon or XDA, Google saves that info to the cloud. If it's a paid app, the cloud thinks you purchased it - except that when you try to download it, Google won't let you because you didn't purchase it there. The web store, viewed from a desktop, gets confused too. So there's no way to actually buy the damn app.
I'm currently experiencing this with SetCPU (downloaded free from author's thread on XDA but the newest version isn't there) and Smart Office 2 (was free on GetJar but they don't have latest version).
Ironic workaround - you have to hack the HTML to force Google to let you buy the app! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23356474&postcount=18
Hi I used Titanium Backup to back up my apps and some of them arent showing up in my playstore. The apps arent listed under installed (even though they are installed on phone) or under all in my apps. this is a problem because id like the apps to be updated. Also my paid apps arent added to market either. if i want them to be added i have to download via playstore wich means repaying for them.
is there a way to link the apps to the market instead of downloading 47 apps again. or is there another way to update these apps as this is what i want to do.
thanks guys
What rom are you on? Is it showing any apps at all? I've seen it on AOKP where it doesn't show any installed apps in the play store. Clearing data from play store and Google services framework then rebooting (maybe a few times) fixed it.

Open titanium backup. Hit menu/market tools/market doctor and follow the prompts.

Hello Friends
I don't know if someone already posted this. But I did it myself so m posting here.
First of all to get back old market you need root access on your phone. After that an app that can control system apps like link2sd or SD maid etc. Using that app find an app named "market updater". Freeze that app. Then uninstall updates of Google Play Store (updates only). That's it , now start using old Google market
If you wants to get back to Google Play Store just unfreeze the market updater app n update the market.

I can tell you why I do it on my ROMs: speed!
The older Google Markets are objectively faster than the new. Time it and see for yourself.

Before rooting my wfs when ever I open the play store and look around for any app, for many of times it shows network error, I don't know why it was happening and it also take too much time to load an app info. I have read many times on xda that old market is working good then new one so that's why I did it

Hi , can anyone tell me if there is a way to get rid of the annoying " your device is not compatible with this version" writing? Because i want to play games like Blood of Gloty or Eternity Wariors 2 and i actually cant because the writing pops up ... Is there a way to actualy get rid of it or just Desire is too old already?

i think is too old....
With an app called Lucky Patcher, you can patch the Play Store, so that any app is compatible.
Google it.

its a bit of work but you could do this:
-download this apk leecher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563894
-search for apps you want and use the tool to download the apk's
-then copy the apks onto your phone and install them
I want to keep google talk and not update (or as i see it downgrade) to the hangouts app. Does anyone know of a way to prevent it from appearing in the play store "my apps" list? I've tried using titanium backup to detach/remove from market with no success. I know I can just deal with seeing it in that list but figured i'd ask.
edit: using "detach from market" in titanium does work, but only until i reboot the phone. upon reboot it will show up again and i can go and detach again. so getting closer to a perfect solution; i feel like that may be as good as it gets. any other ideas appreciated though!
Uninstall your present GTalk and install GTalk from an external source then make it a system app if you want. This may stop showing you updates as you haven't downloaded GTalk from the Play Store.

U can find a Gtalk on mobilism and then convert it to a system app as Sherlock said above. I've had system apps still connect to play store before also, but that's ur best bet.
