I have some US apps installed which I can't update because "Legacy Play Store" won't work on 4.2.x anymore. All other methods I find to make Play Store international fail. Does anyone know a reliable method?
Use market enabler

I have tried all tools I found MarketEnabler, MarketAccess, Market Helper .. none worked for me. Chances are that I'm doing something wrong but chances are also that google has changed his verfication strategy over time and those things are void.

When trying to search ,on my mobile market, a lot of apps that I used to have i can't find them
and when i tried to install them from market.android.com i get " this item can not be installed in your device's country"
any help here please?
Hey men where are you from? I had the same issue when installed cm7.. the gapps that comes with it downloads the Gmail YouTube and other applications from the market but it seems like they are not available in my country. So what I did was looking in Google for the gapps of the same version but full about 15mb more or less and flash it in the recovery. Problem solved

Some apps are specific to certain countries and regions. Seems the ones you're trying to install don't work in Egypt.
If you are rooted download 'MarketEnabler'
Once installed you can run it and choose to spoof your location so you can download apps from say the US Market rather than the Egypt Market
they were working and i have them already installed but suddenly they disappeared !

Are you running the leaked version of Play Store?
If you are, or you're not certain, this might work for you?!?

thanks, i dont think i am, plus the web site says i have no apps?
Can't seem to find an answer to this question.
Looks like the mod Dexter did for adding Google Play to the A7 was for an older version of the A7 firmware (1.4x).
Will this mod work on 2.2 or am I out of luck?
I just inherited this tablet from my 94 year-old mother and the only app I want to put on it is sold only on Google Play.
Thanks
is yours an a7 or a7+ ????

Sorry, mine's a 7.
Any advice from anyone?
Thanks.
OK, I am editing this last post. After a couple of PMs with Dexter, I decided to run the mod on my Elocity. I did discover that the Android Version is 2.2 and not the firmware.
The firmware version is the latest which is 2.01.
Anyway, the mod worked perfectly and now my A7 has access to the Android Marketplace and Google Play.
So all is calm in the universe. The only issue on Marketplace is that it reads the original device model, so if an app was incompatible with your device before the mod, it probably still is afterward. I have an astronomy app I want that lists the Elocity (T-Mobile Compal A7-040) as "incompatible" by the maker of the software because of it's inability to gain access to the Google Marketplace. Every other requirement for the software is met (Android 2.2 and a 1 Ghz processor), but Google still sees the device as imcompatible and won't let me buy it. Bummer!
Where can I find the files for Dexter Mods?
Just bought one of those old A7-004s from Brad Deals.
I want to have Google Play (Market) on the unit. Ready to burn new rom, but where are the Dexter Files? His website is dead.
Thanks

i have google play on mine and its stock with a few changes but because its under warranty i refuse to put a full mod on it till the warranty runs out.. but anyway go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431967 and use the dropbox download and use the z4root app to root your device, if its already rooted then proceed to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582422 and get the latest play market.
note i tried the modded market but it wouldnt let me download anything so i went with the non mod google play market and everything seems to work fine.. just the normal google crap saying some apps are not compatible with your device.. but theres a workaround for that if you edit the build.prop to have it say its a different device(not sure exactly how to do it but ive seen a few threads where people have done this but i havent).
After installing cm 10-20130414 nightly I get the message device not compatible when trying to download some apps like hulu plus. Any ideas? Thanks.
Nightlies are experimental versions I assume that you are aware of it? Try to install stable version and tweak it some nighltly features you may find them on google.

There are many device properties that Play Store checks to see if an app is considered compatible. Screen resolution and density, permissions like telephony, location services, gps, and not the least of which is the device name in build.prop. Sometimes changing those things makes Play Store say they are now compatible.
But just because Play Store says it is not compatible does not mean it will not run on your device. It just means Play Store will not let you install it. The solution is to get the app somewhere else, like the Amazon Store, 1mobile.com store or from another device. I have found that the majority of apps that Play Store says is not compatible actually run well on the Nook Color.

try download from other market, or just download the apk.
or maybe the app is just not compatible with jellybean (cm10)
Hi I was wondering is there any way to install the Google Play Store on the Amazon fire TV 2 I really want to install my Google Play apps that I purchased I'm already rooted 5.0.3 .1 is there any method like installing the Google framework.
Tried and failed me managed to youtube working with my account but not play store. Maybe only via root.

Just sideload your phone/tablet apps via Apps2Fire, you can find it on the Play Store & is very easy to setup.

You can sideload apps but some apps require Play Store to be installed or they won't work. Even if you sideload them they still won't work if you don't have Play Store installed and logged in. The Play Store won't work but the apps that require it will.

One thing that may be worth a try is to use an app like "/system/app mover ★ ROOT ★" in the playstore to convert the for playstore files to system apps. I know the app's name is ridiculous. But I have tried this on Xioami products where a sideloaded playstore did not function and after conversion and reboot it worked fine.
Based on the amount of free space in /system, I believe installing proper gapps should work. I should be done with recovery soon, and if gapps work, I'll include a note about installing them.
do we have a working recovery yet?
that would be great!!!!!!
I have some google apps installed including the play store and Google Play Services but The play store can't seem to grab a connection.

I'm guessing something with services, but who knows how to fix it...

Functionally it all seems to work. I'm just finishing up the prerooted image and I need to do some more testing with that. And then I need to package it all together into something people can easily install.
that is great news!!!!
Thank you

If you can do a mac version that would be cool
Mac version for what? Flashing the custom recovery? Ok, I might not be 100% sure what package rbox will deliver but it sure will be loaded either by adb sideload or the superfast preloader way for people like me hehe

agreed don't be that guy. If your hell bent on getting apps from the playstore do a google on "evozi apk-downloader" and use a pc to sideload with adb or adbfire app. you can also use another android device and use one of the play store apps like "apps to fire" or "fire installer" to send it to the firetv.
