[23AUG] "Hacked" Play Store 3.8.17.4 (Wishlist, delta "smart" updates, gift cards)
Hey guys,
I was looking for this yesterday and I found nothing, so I decided to "hack" the Play Store apk myself.
It's just 3.8.17 Play Store with Wishlist and (US only for now) gift cards activated.
How to install (or update)
1. Make a nandroid or backup Play Store by Titanium
2. Go to Settings » Apps » All » Google Play Store, tap "Uninstall updates" (if active) and confirm
3. Download my APK, place it on /sdcard and rename to Phonesky.apk
4. In Root Explorer (or any other file explorer that uses root permissions, but don't use ES File Explorer) go to /system/app and remove Phonesky.apk
---4.1. If you see any com.android.vending-*.apk file in this directory, remove it too
5. Copy Phonesky.apk from /sdcard to /system/app
6. Reboot

What exactly does this do? Aren't giftcards already enabled?

They aren't. It enables both them and wishlist. Both are fully usable, however there's no way to buy any gift code ATM

Can I ask if this is dpi hacked? As in for those who have a dpi of 162 like me it will fix the market incompatibility error?
If not how can I hack it to force the market to use a set dpi? Instead of reading my build.prop?

Nope. It lets you download apps unavailable in your country (they aren't shown in search results!) or for your device. It also lets you access and manage your Wishlist and gift cards.
Is that possible to free download to payable apps, can u do it?

It's impossible and illegal. Do not even ask for it.
Nice work webDeWo. Imma download this now. Funny how you hack a app that is free but not yet available now people want you to start getting apps for free. smh.
Hi, and thanks for sharing your work.
I have one question though : if I install an app while on the play store website on the PC, it will still download it to my phone with this hacked store ?
I'm sorry if I don't make any sense, English isn't my native language.

Can I ask what you did to change it? I've been trying to figure this out for the longest time. Plus sorry to be a pain but can you get rid of just device restrictions and not auto updating the market? I wouldn't mind if the market updated itself

He's talking about going to play. Google. Com and installing an app from there. But Google services framework is what handles that (if I'm not mistaken)

I just modified the function that checks whether the application is available for user to always return true. Simple, isn't it?

Opens this link play.google.com/apps/testing/com.google.android.wearable.app and click the Become a Tester button to opt-in to the preview version of the app. You should be able to see the app in play store after a few mins.

Connect Android Wear App with Emulator
Hi,
Installed the above Wear apk succesfully, and it is running.
Did anyone succeed in linking this new Android Wear apk to the AndroidWear Emulator?
The Android Wear Preview connected over USB cable using adb -d forward tcp:5601 tcp:5601.
The Wear apk has an option to connect to the emulator, but using the USB cable its not connecting.
Can it only connect over Bluetooth?

Try this. I believe the galaxy app shop is related to native samsung libs - not sure, a dev can say better.

You can download a Galaxy apps apk from the site Apk mirror. It gives away almost all play store apps.

But I didn't manage to get Game Tuner to work even after installing Game Tools...

So custom ROMs make your device uncertified by Google, but Google has publish a page for you to enter your device code or something to get certified, I wanna know if after getting certified, can apps such as Google Pay, Pokemon Go or Play Games be installed and used?? Thanks

Complete guide here... Although what I'm running now seems much better than the Havoc guide I posted. I may be posting another guide, or just edit the existing guide.
