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)

Quote

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

Worked fine here. You should recommend people change permissions to rw-r-r just to be safe.

Thanks. I noticed though that the my apps is different than the actual on in stock 3.8.15. Any clue?

Also, when at "my apps," hitting the back key force closes the app.

Can you attach your logcat? I don't have any problem with "My Apps".

Okey, see the problem. I'll fix it in a few minutes.

EDIT: fixed, download v3.8.15.2 and install as previously.

New play store update. Could you make a version without the update skipper? Also without the translations. Thanks! Trying to keep this as stock, but I welcome the other mods. :)
