Here is the ORIGINAL and MODED version of Google play store for our Android Devices:
Requirements: Android v2.2+
Overview: Play Anywhere, All your entertainment in one place, Google Play is your one-stop shop for all your favorite entertainment.
CHANGELOG:
- You now have the Installed and All tabs you can swipe between. The former one is what we used to have before - it lists all apps installed on your device. The latter lists all apps you've ever installed in case you want to download them again or travel down the memory lane. This is quite handy, and I've seen this list before in the Play Store on the web, so it's great to get it here in the mobile app.
- The All tab contains a handy dropdown with all your accounts (if you added more than one) and lets you switch between them very easily (as opposed to clicking Menu, etc).
- The list of apps you have purchased but uninstalled or haven't installed yet has moved to the All tab... which means it's now mixed in with the free apps you no longer have on the device. I'm not sure how I feel about that - on one hand, I like that it's gone from the first list, but ideally there should be a way to filter paid apps from free in the All list. Maybe someday...
- A few of the stock apps that apparently never got linked to the Play Store before got identified and picked up this time, and updates to such orphans were waiting for me when I fired the Store up. I've complained about this very bug in my last rant, and it looks like someone listened.
- Just like in the web Play Store:
# reviews now show the device used by the reviewer
# reviews can now be sorted by Most Helpful first or Newest first
# you can now filter reviews to show ones for the latest version of the app as well as made by only the device you are using

MOD VERSION features:

INSTALL:
ORIGINAL - Just paste Vending (original).apk or GooglePlay v3.5.16.apk to your phone and install it...
MODED - first make a backup of your previous market first in system/app using Root Explorer (rename Vending.apk to Vending.bak or something) or just delete it, then simply copy attached Vending.apk or GooglePlay v3.5.16-mod.apk it to your system/app folder using Root Explorer (or similar app). After that set permissions how is showed in attached picture down, then restart your phone...and enjoy yourself.

Heeelp! When I try to open Play Store it instantly closes! I have XMP old xperia project latest with naa-kernel 11. Shouldn't it normally get the market app when I get to play store? I tested many roms by now but noone had the original market.

You need to flash google apps (gapps). In CWM recovery First wipe data,factory reset,dalvik cache, then Install XMP rom, then install google apps : http://www.mediafire.com/?brzi261rxhp8rtr (The newest Google Apps by D3V!LC0R3).After that restart your phone...when it boots, sign in to your google account, open market (browse for minute, he will automaticli update to google play store)...cheers.
Yep, you've read that right: I'm looking for a way to download some FREE apps from google play without having the market installed. To make a long story short: I don't like the market to know what my phone runs. So is there any software I could download there free app "My Callya" with? Have looked everywhere on the interwebs, but can't find it. I'd be more than happy about a download link to it though.
Why not use titanium backup, and just remove the market links after downloading it.

It's not about the links on my phone, but some issue I generally have about privacy when hearing the word "Google". Therefore, how to get the goodies without using the market?
If you're not going to use Google Play, you'll have to use another market. I came across http://androidpit.com which might be useful to you. It also allows you to buy apps with paypal.
But isn't there a way to obtain the free APKs without such software?
Not from Google Play. It requires a unique device ID that you can only obtain by actually registering your device with Google.
And once you've done that you might as well just get it from Play.
Fair. Any other recommendable place where the device ID is not required?
No matter what you're using, you'll have to have a secondary market of some sort. There's also the Amazon Appstore which you can install from Amazon.com and it doesn't use your device ID, just your Amazon account. Really, you just have to choose a place you trust since you seem to be really concerned with privacy and who stores data about what apps you have.
You can try Amazon, but you won't find all of the apps that are available in the Play Store. You can always search for the apks online, since people tend to post them for others that cannot access them for whatever reason. If you're interested in purchasing apps, Amazon would be the way to go, or most devs have a way to purchase from their website. Installing the Amazon Appstore will help you with a lot of apps that you'd like to download, plus they feature one paid app for free every day. If you "purchase" it while it's free, it will be tied to your Amazon account so that you can install it on another device as well or reinstall if you decide to uninstall it. Most of the free apps of the day are crap, but every now and then you'll find a good one.
I'll see if I can find the app you're asking for on the Market, download it, and post the apk for you.
Edit: Couldn't find the app on Google Play. I must not be able to access it due to screen resolution or OS version or something. If you know that it's in the Play Store because you've seen it from the website, maybe someone else can access it for you. If not, check the Market website and make sure it's still published and hasn't changed names or something.
Ohhh, and I think I read about an extension for Chrome that allows you to directly download apks from the Play Store website. I don't know if your Google account has to be registered to a phone or not.
kind of late but if anyone else is looking for a solution, this might work as stated above.
it basically turns the google play store links into downloadable .apk links
http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
To get started, enter the web URL of any app listed on the Google Play store and click the “Generated Download Link” button. The APK download app will fetch the APK file from the Google Play store and will host it on its own servers from where you downlaod the file.
Since the APK files are directly fetched from the Google Play Store, it’s unlikely that the Android App will be infected with any malware. Also, to prevent app piracy, the APK downloader only lets you download free apps and games from the Google Play store, not the paid ones.

Interesting. Does this thing also load PRO-apps for free?
I have Google Voice Account.
I had installed Google voice on Nexus 4.
Recently, I reset my device and tried to download the Google Voice App from Play Store.
It does not give me any option to download it since I am not in USA right now.
How i can download it from Play Store While abroad ?
Thanks,

If it's a free app, see if already posted, if not request it in this thread. Good luck
hi
you can try this apk (i personally trust this website but download at your own risk):
the direct apk(first allow install from unknown sources in security settings and then install the apk using a file manager like es explorer):
http://www.androiddrawer.com/downlo...=no_antivirus&id=0B8muzPZAeiQ6TWxwdTB2NjFlS1U
the website where i took the link :
http://www.androiddrawer.com/8931/download-google-voice-0-4-2-72-app-apk/
if you prefer here is a way to get country restricted content on play store (i didn't test it) :
http://advicesacademy.com/guide/how-to-install-country-restricted-apps-from-google-play-store/
you can also get apks from 3rd party play stores just like 1mobile market (there are many just google):
http://market.1mobile.com/?cid=9
i hope i helped you
and i also advice you to keep important app apks in your sd card to install them again when you need them for that you can use backup apps like app backup and restore (from play store ) .
Are there any alternatives to the play store app? I've a chinese lenovo phone and have tried almost everything to get the play store to work "rooting, attempted flash rom, to install as a system app etc" but can't get the framework to work with my phone, so is there any alternatives to the play store in app form, the lenovo store app on my phone is in chinese and 98% of the apps too!
Amazon app store is the biggest after Googles store: www.amazon.com/getappstore . Another small but important store is F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/ (All apps are open source). Just google for more alternatives.
I want to work with google play market from my application. Play market mast be in shadow mode and my app will be control downloading, installing and uninstalling.
How can I do it? Help me with some article.
