yes, i cant deny this, im also having same problem, but only when i try to update all my app (already installed app), it said 'starting download' and nothing. then i try updating it 1 by 1, and its work..did you have 3.4.7?if you already have this version and the problem not fixed, maybe you can go 'clear cache' of google play in manage application..
Thx for the APK. The new market is super fast now! I replaced Market 2.3.6. I kinda had to shoehorn this APK into my Froyo Bumblebee v2.4 ROM on LG VM670 since it didn't want to sideload properly.
-Use Titanium Backup to Backup your version of Market then uninstall Market 2.3.6
-rename the Google Play APK to vending.apk
-use RootExplorer to mount / as r/w
-copy the new vending.apk to /system/apps
-change permission to rw-r-r--
-reboot phone
The new Google Play APP icon didn't change (could be the Glow Legacy Theme I use with ADW), it stayed the same as the original Market Icon but the new market works.
NOt full version
I have this version of the market I can download only apps because the other tabs/option are not present on x10 mini.

Anyway back to stock G-play

it fixed the compatible check, thats mean, you can download loads of apps, but for our devices, which is in qvga, not all apps will ok when running.
auto updates now working for me, need to update it one by one..
Not working here. Still doesn't appear country restricted apps like Play Music (Google Music).
I'm outside US/Canada and I wish someone can mod Play Store so we (outside) can browse music, books and video stuff.
I can do this but I need to start WiFi hotspot on my laptop, through Hotspot Shield, clear Play Store data, and then access to full market.
Will be possible to mod this restrition?

Hi,
Did a system restore but the apps didn't show up. Then I manually downloaded r5a and did a restore from SD. Everything is OK now. Hopefully my scores in Pinball Heroes were not lost. But I'll have to re-program all the remotes again... is there a way to backup them?
Anyway, thanks!

The built in google restore only works when you install that corrosponding application again like for an example, a Email Client has been wiped off and Googe Restore has that data, you need to reinstall that application from the Play Store again (Will not work has an APK has that is not provided from the google servers) and then the application has that data back.
You can use Titanium Backup if you are rooted.

Pinball Heroes is part of the factory install so it didn't came from Play store!
The apps are still there under the apps folder
They weren't on the desktop, but I went to the apps and all those apps were there to be installed.

I know.
So anyway the Pro is that the data is backed up but the con is that you need to reinstall the applications from the play store after the wipe.
And when I say wipe I mean factory reset.
Yeah so bugs occur due to previous data so you need to factory reset.
So Pinball Heros..., Unfortunately has have what I have experienced, you cannot save that data without Titanium Backup.

I just received my new Sony Z Ultra GPe and I couldn't be happier with the device performance but I was really pissed to find that Google decided to remove the FM Radio application that Sony had included on the regular Sony Xperia Z Ultra!!
I tried installing the same APK that is included on the regular Z Ultra but the installation didn't work because it's a system app and my device isn't rooted.
I tried using Spirit FM but unfortunately that failed to activate the built in FM radio and didn't work.
Is there an FM radio app that we can use on the GPe ?

Third one was posted in a ROM thread for different Sony phone showed up but gives toast message saying it has quit working as soon as it trys to open. I wonder if it needs the odex file?
Have you had any luck with Spirit FM ? I've read that it's supposed to work, but again that needs root?

It does work! I had tried it before it was rooted not realizing it was required. The version I had purchased has been renamed "old spirit FM lite" and is no longer supported. Spirit1 seems to work but I didn't get Spirit2 to start. Anyways thanks for spurring me to test Spirit further.
Edit....uninstalled spirit lite and Spirit2 works, also has Bluetooth support.

Yeah, that's the thing isn't it. I have the Xperia model, but i'm currently running the GPe ROM and i love it for its lightness, but with lightness comes minimalism, and i'm a true minimalist in real life and hate having stuff i don't use, BUT having to install a third party videoplayer if i'd like to stream something is incredible annoying. Stuff the stock Sony ROM does out-of-the-box is not possible on a clean AOSP build.
I still love it though, but once in awhile i just have to go back to the Sony ROM and get cozy. Everything there just works.

Sorry for off topic but this seems as good as anywhere to ask.
1. Does uninstalling Sony apps cause issues?
2. Do Sony apps work with 3rd party launchers?

How dare you go off topic! Just kidding.
- No, it depends on what you're deleting. You will end up soft bricking it if you delete SystemUI or any other important app/service/libs but you're safe if you only want to remove "bloat". I made a list of apps that are safe to remove ages ago, and it's somewhere in the Themes & Apps section, so check that out. Be sure to either have a NAND backup ready in case something goes wrong, or know how to recover from a soft brick (bootloop etc)
- Yes, but some or all Sony widgets won't work.

Is there a way the stock Sony FM Radio app which I posted before can be modified to be installed without root (as a non-system app)?
I don't want to root my device for the moment but I want to be able to use the built in FM Radio.
BTW I was bummed with updated my GPe to 4.4.3 and found that Google still didn't include an FM radio app!

So I've finally rooted my GPe, now I want to get FM radio working.
Can you please tell me the configuration you used to get Spirit FM working, keeps force closing for me!
I tried installing the Apk from the original Xperia ZU for the FM radio but that never showed up in my app list!

First thing is I had it working on 4.4.2 and never tried it after updating. Now I am using a Sony Z Ultra and not the GPe anymore, sorry I can't recall what it took to get it working.

If rooted, try the latest test release of Spirit2 here: http://d-h.st/vky
Or Spirit1: http://d-h.st/de8
Usually, it should "just work". If not, in Spirit1, send me a debug log. Tap the frequency button, enter the number 7 and tap "OK". After 20 seconds or so, press Send from your email client.
Google hates FM, so you don't find it on Nexus or GPE devices. Maybe Google One for "developing world" though, LOL.
ALL stock FM apps rely on "framework" code, usually proprietary and secret. Not a single GPE device has ever been able to run a stock FM app, only Spirit, which is low level and has mostly just kernel requirements. I'm just happy that Google's OEMs have accidentally(?) left the Qualcomm FM driver in the stock kernels.
I'm thinking about officially supporting Sony devices in Spirit2, and so I'm reading these forums to learn about different Z models. Used Z Ultras are now as low as $280 here, and new GPE as low as $350 so far,.But buying a phone is just a fraction of the long term cost learning how to root, unlock, flash ROMs without bricking, etc...
