play store on rooted phone - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

I deleted the current play store as I hate the look of it so I downloaded an older version I liked and put com.android.vending-1.apk in data/app but the store still auto updates. I am running venom rom 6.0.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry but you'll have to use a newer version.
Even if you could block the update, eventually it'll lose functionality and you'll be forced to update.
AFAIK anyway.

Weird Question....

Can anyone tell me what version of Youtube the Xperia Play 2.3.3 comes with? I know its pre loaded on the phone and from the store you have the option to uninstall the updates. That's what I'm trying to figure out, can anyone on 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 go into the store and uninstall the updates & tell me what version that leaves you with?
Thanks.

[Q] Google Voice has bricked my Sprint Galaxy S3

I downloaded Google Voice and used my Gmail account to sign up. After realizing that I didn't want it, I deactivated it from my Gmail and uninstalled it. Once this happened my phone wouldn't make/accept calls or texts. Sprint needs to send an update to my phone to activate the phone/text portion. Since Google Voice and Sprint are partners, Sprint passes the phone number to Google Voice, but when Google passes it back, Sprint needs to be able to "talk" to my phone. I called Sprint and they told me to run a simple update that would fix it (dialing ##72786#). It didn't work. I let them know I was rooted (the girl helping me was rooted too and was very cool) and she said I needed to find the ORIGINAL software. Once I did I would have to install, unroot, and then do the ##72786#. I found what I thought was the original software but it wasn't. A lot of the zip files are linked to a download site that has been shut down.
I installed the most original software I could find, unrooted, and cleared my counter with Triangle Away. The Sprint store politely told me to get lost. They could tell it wasn't original. I now have a tiny tablet that only works on wifi.
I need to know where I can find the original firmware from a working site that will let me do the Sprint manual updates. The version I have doesn't have the UPDATE PHONE option either.
Any help would be appreciated!

This is the closest to stock I could find, which wasn't close enough:
Android 4.1.1
Baseband Version L710VPBLJ7
Do you know which of the 16 GB I should try? The new M4 or the Old MB1?

[Q] roll back app

AT&T note 2 android 4.1.2, I317UCAMH3 Stock version
Updated to the NEW tumblr app, did backup before (i know stupid me)
Went to app manager and selected tumblr.
Unlike some apps, there is no option to rollback update to previous version.
How can I roll back to previous version?
Don't know if this is the right place to put this but thanks for any help
uninstall the version you updated to. search for the specific version you had before it updated, and download that version and install it. do not upgrade afterwards. if you need help finding the version, I can assist.

Thank you very much. Is this the newer than german bin file? 461013320 ?
Update;
Yes it seems like the newer than 3320 because I didn't get the 'newer file installed on your phone' software version is 461013820 now.
Clean install no AT&T hotspot service or app in the menu.
It is running flawlessly until now.
Thank you again.
during few days , I looking for this file.. Thanks very much najoor.
my phone ( especially google play service problem is solved) is working well.
few weeks ago, I was update with 4.6.1 - 461013320 O2 carrier version.
But I have trouble with google play service. ( gmail, gps working, play store etc.)
I think this version is solve that problem.
Thanks again. :good:
Many many thanks for the update .bin! Updated my Unlocked GSM device from previously flashed 4.6.1 AT&T firmware. Google Services now fully work!
Possible to Flash this Update on locked non US FP?
Great update, solved all the little issues from the German update including Google Play and Google Settings (I had been unable to disable OK Google before to save battery).
Thansk!
This also solved my Play Services issues... Good update!

1000Thanks najoor for uploading the new .bin file, for the Fire-Phone USA Unlocked!!
As some users here, I also has noticed that this new file have a more recent number, than the versions for the UK and Germany...
I also has noticed that with this USA Unlocked update, all Fire-Phone users here, have reported that now the Google-Play-Store and the Google-Play-Services APPs are working flawlessly again!!...
Could it be that Amazon has fixed something, to make the Google-Play-Store work again?...
Since the USB OTG Function is available in the Fire-Phone and only have to be enabled by software, I would appreciate if someone please could check if the USB OTG function is now working with the latest update?
Does anyone have noticed any other additions, fixes or changes??

You are welcome.
I don't think amazon has intentionally fixed Google play store. It is not in their interest anyway for the users to use play store because amazon has its own competing store. My guess is that they have fixed a big that affected many things including play store.
My observation of this update is that it is superior to previous versions in terms of speed and battery life. Another great advantage of this update is that now you can disable many of the apps, including the amazon native and system apps. It makes one think that you almost don't need root...
Another interesting point is that depending on what Sim card you put in the phone it loads a different mobile network menu. For example if you put an AT&T sim you will get a menu item called search for AT&T small cell or something like that. There are also a number of additional features some of which I don't necessarily need; changing wallpaper, miracast, find your phone, disable 4G etc.

100% Agree najoor, when you said:
"I don't think amazon has intentionally fixed Google play store. It is not in their interest anyway for the users to use play store because amazon has its own competing store. My guess is that they have fixed a big that affected many things including play store. "
That's what I meaned, that Amazon has fixed something, that has made the Google-Play-Store started to work again...
Do you has tested the new Bluetooth 4 and if the USB OTG Function works?
Thanks to the OP for this link.
I installed on my US Market, Unlocked 32GB Fire Phone this afternoon, and everything is working great, including Google Play and Hangouts. I have not noticed any problems at all so far, and have restarted the phone a few times just to be sure.
thank you
used it to update my US unlocked phone from the O2 UK version of 4.6.1
working great !
did those who installed the Play Store use the original pack of 4 files , or that latest set recently listed here ?
Used it to update my German Telecom phone, inlocked with code from telecom. Everything went fine. After update I had to change wifi channels to US on my router to be able to have wifi connection. Wifi is ok now. I noticed that with this build I have quick reply delete option in email notification in dropdown statusbar.
Play Store works
just to add to this thread that new package of the 4 latest Play Store files work perfectly with this version of 4.6.1
Thanks
thanx.
It is working for me, and solve the issues in google services.
usb otg
I see no evidence of OTG functionality. I hooked up multiple usb devices, and nothing was recognized.
.I know the OTG cable is fine.

Is it an EU thing blocking Google services?

Lollipop hacked hot spot download?

Anyone have a link for the Verizon M7 lollipop hacked hotspot? I'm running a rooted stock Rom but can't find a hacked app/zip to install via recovery. All I could find were out dated versions. And of course third party apps from the app store are useless. I need this for work and really don't want to subscribe through Verizon or wipe my phone with a new Rom with it worked in. Thanks in advance.
