Modded Play Store on HyDrOG3N Rom - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am using HyDrOG3N rom which I find it awesome, but on Play Store I got some country restrictions and compatibility issues so I need a modded Play Store to bypass these restrictions.
I found ModPack made by fOmey in HyDrOG3N topic and it had a modified store, but after I installed it I still have the same market with no modifications.
Did I miss something?

u can try this one from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551118
or u can use market enabler to remove country restrictions.

When I get a modded .apk file, I can't replace the original one because it is a read-only folder, how to fix that?
I also used Market enabler, it showed all apps OK but I can't download the ones which were not available in my country in the first place, it shows "not available in my country".

I tried it but after installation, Google Play returned "Server Error", I searched the forums for different .apks but none worked, Is there is a mod pack containing modded store flashable by CWM as I think I'm installing it wrongly?

google play not working?

my friend just buy s3 from online seller in china..
dont know why google play not working..
it is because china retail firmware?
Does it have play installed?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I am in China and am currently having the same problem. Play did not come installed on the phone and after I downloaded and installed it on my I9300 it doesn't load. blacks my screen for a split second then kicks me back to my home screen.
Any ideas?
What if you delete the current PhoneSky.apk from the system/App
and flash the current Gapps, that may fix it.
To properly install Play Store on the phone you need:
- a rooted phone
- a deodexed version of the APK
- NO DO INSTALL THE APK using the usual methods
- rename the APK to Vending.APK
- copy the APK to /system/app/Vending.apk
- reboot

I'm going total neophyte mode here: this is my first Android phone (former iOS dummy) and I have little experience using Android. My phone is rooted with the CF-root from Chainfire. As for deodexed APK, what exactly does that mean? Also, you mentioned that I need to copy it to a filesystem location...how to access that? Again, sorry for sounding like and idiot but this is all so incredibly new to me.
Google Apps
download google apps zipp and zip it to your phone and it should work again
goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
This is exactly why the XDA community is awesome! Thanks to all for the help! Google play as well as a bunch of other apps installed and running perfectly!:good::good:

Thanks for the reply
So I copy those file unzip from my desktop [META-INF, optional, system folders and the install-optional.sh files] to the Phone directory? is that correct procedure?

Try AppSaver to just extract apk, available on Google Play.

I suppose your apk itself got corrupted somehow.
May be you can search on the net for that version of apk and download it from some of the websites that allows you to download apk directly rather than from Google Play.

[Q] How can I restore to original Google Play Store?

Hello,
So I've downloaded the black themed play store, was so excited when I flashed it. But now I want the original play store back! I have a back up of the original play store but once I install it, the app wont be installed because its a different signature..Any Suggestions?
Try removing the Play Store apk you have installed (with titanium or something like that) then install your backup apk.

Hi, a few days back, i deleted my backed up playstore. How could I restore the orignal playstore. I mean, the first version which would automatically update itself later on. Could anybody attach the oldest version here ?

Try going to settings, app manager, all, google play store, uninstall updates
Hope that helped
I guess i didnt mention it correctly. I installed the latest market apk n pushed it as system app. So, since the base apk is the new one, thr wont b any option to uninstall updates. But I need that thing, so could anybody upload the version of the market that comes up with note2 stock. Without updates.

I still have that problem, however i have deleted the "cracked app" and replaced it with the original PlayStore. Is it possible to get the original play store back (the play store that updates itself.)

i tried this and i have the same results :/
Take a logcat and it will help you. This mainly happens when there is no place left on the device. If you want the play store just search for phonesky.apk

Try clearing the play store app data. Also if you have already created a Google account try to remove it and then create a new one after installing the play store.

Do this:
Remove some apps from /system/app in ROM zip and then flash it. After that flash gapps you might get out of the error. If not, then take a logcat.

Play store issue

Hello.
Recently i downloaded the modded play store from lucky patcher, so i uninstalled the original one. But the modded one, that i downloaded - wasnt working. I tried downloading APK of playstore, but when i open it - it crashed. Is there is any other way you can download the play store? I also tried flashing gapps, but there was an error because i already had all gapps exept google play store.
Im curently at pixel expierence ROM.
My device is rooted.
Thanks for help.

Lucky patcher is an "illegal" modifying utility . Kindly refrain from posting threads for such apps or you'll get banned permanently.

Omg okay thx ?. Didnt know
@Darekkk
I don't even want to quote your post because of the reference there.
You can wipe system, data, dalvik and cache, flash the ROM and Gapps (which contains PlayStore) again.
Did you make sure to move the official playstore apk to Priv-system apps folder. As per your post, I guess you have installed the official playstore apk as an user app.
