Hello guys
I'll explain here how to stop Google Play Store/Services from updating itself as the self update function draining the battery, using the data plan and reducing the free storage space.
There is a similar method but unfortunately that method doesn't work on android 5.1.1.
Instructions:
1. Uninstall all of the installed Google Play Store/Services updates through app info.
3. Install root file manager.
2. Navigate to /data/app.
3. Create 2 empty files.
4. Rename those files to "com.google.android.gms-1" and other one to "com.android.vending-1" (their permissions would be 0600)
That's it updates are gone
Hit thanks if I helped
Work on Android 7.1.1 ?
Hello, work this trick on Android Nougat ?
Thx
If you do that you can't sign in with Google so you need to sign in first but it works so far.

It's only a temporary fix as the Play Store automatically updated today and I had to uninstall the update.

So I bought one of those cheap tablets. Of course it didn't come with Google play.
So I tried flashing the 20121011 package from goo.Im/gapps then installing the 4.6.17 apk which I downloaded from xda
I get as far as logging into my Google account then when the store begins to load I get a "Google play store has stopped" message.
I've cleared the data and cache for all Google play services and framework.
I know there isn't a great chance I'll get this working, but I figured I'd see if anyone had any more suggestions to try.
It's a proscan plt8801k running 4.1.1
Thanks
No need to flash a GApps package. The Play Store apk would be enough.
DOWNLOAD PLAY STORE VERSION 4.6.17 (OP)
I tried that first. But it just crashes right after it opens so I installed gapps to see if part of the Google framework was missing. Got any other tips?

If you have FCs right after the installation of the above apk go to Settings > App > All and clear app data of Google Play Store and Google Play Services then reboot and try again.
I appreciate you taking the time to help me.
I had tried resetting all apps and settings before, but this time I manually cleared the data on the two you just mentioned.
Same issue.
I wonder If there is some other dependency that is missing or out of date because the entire store loads (icons and all) and then about a half a second later it crashes.

No worries. This method doesn't work on some devices and I never had to face this issue but try this (it's free ):
Go to Settings > App > All > Hit on Google stuff and check if everything is running.
Go to Settings > App > Do you have a 'Disabled' menu on the right?
By the way on a 2012 MPMAN tablet the following apks were needed (information taken on a tech blog):
• GoogleServiceFramework.apk
• (Google)OneTimeInitializer.apk
• SetupWizard.apk
• com.android.vending-X.X.X-signed.apk
Do you have all these apks?
The instructions explain to directly reboot after installing the apk files. Do not try to open the Play Store before rebooting!
There is no disabled menu but I checked all the Google stuff and none of it was disabled.
I just did a factory reset and installed the play apk then rebooted
I'm not rooted yet so I can't see the apks themselves. But I may be missing those last two because I don't see then in settings-> apps. Can you recommend a date place to download them?

Unzip the GApps package and you can find them in /system/app.
Did u grab the right package? Is your Android version 4.1.x?
You need root to push these apks into the right directory.
I thought that would be accomplished when I flashed the zip as an update.
Okay so I'm rooted, I gave es rootexplorer root access. I extracted the zip and tried coying the apks to /system/app but I got a access denied error.
What is the proper way to accomplish this?

Yes you need to modify the permissions of ES File to R/W. From the side panel hit 'Root Explorer' > Mount R/W > Checl both / and /system as RW > OK.
With the app DicePlayer I want to stay at version 2.0.53, because from 2.0.54 on AC3 support was removed.
To not accidently update to a version >2.0.53 (e.g. by hitting Update All) I've used the function Detach from Market that is offered by Titanium Backup.
Unfortunately this detachment is being resetted on every reboot of the phone (Nexus 5 with 4.4.4).
Is there a way to permamently detach an app from Android Market?

Hi, I realise this is an old post but it's something I've been trying to do for a while too. I've finally accomplished it successfully so I thought I'd share it on in some of the topics.
It works by changing the apk signature so the app typically becomes 'different' to the one on the Google Play Store and therefore doesn't appear in your Google Play Store list. But by doing this, you won't be able to update the app from Play Store.
How to:
Need Root.
First do a TB backup of current apk just to keep it.
With a file explorer, go to root\data\app and copy the app apk that you want to change and paste it somewhere on SD card.
Now uninstall the app
Download and install: ZipSigner by Ken Ellinwood from Play Store.
Open ZipSigner, choose input file and navigate to earlier copied apk
I used key/mode: auto-testkey
Sign the file
The new signed apk will be put in the same directory the original file was.
Now install that signed apk and your're done. Check market.
Worked for me - hope it works for you!
Thanks. Unfortunately, doesn't work with Barclays UK app. Has this worked with this app for anyone? thnx
I need to pair a watch with a phone that has just AOSP flashed on it and so I'm trying to figure out if/how I can install Google Play Services/Google Play Store onto the phone. (In order to pair the watch with the phone I need to install the Android Wear App, but I can't do that if the phone doesn't have Google Play Store/Google Play Services installed).
My phone is a Nexus 5 with the Lollipop AOSP installed, so I just tried installing the GSP apks using adb but I keep getting error messages that GPS has stopped running.
I'm an iOS developer and new to Android and have been searching for days how to solve my problem without success, so I'd be grateful if somebody could help me with the following questions:
1) If I get Google Play Services and Google Play Store apks from somewhere like apkmirror.com and install them will I be able to access the Android Wear app on Google play and download/install/run it?
2) If not then if I get the Android Wear app itself from somewhere like apkmirror.com and install it along with GPS will the Android Wear app run?
3) When I try to install GSP why do I get the error messages about it stopping? Are there other dependent components I need to also install to make it run?
4) Can I install it using adb or do I have to install it using a recovery? If so, then why does a recovery have to be used to install it, whats the difference between installing via a recovery and installing via adb?
Thanks for any insight, I'm getting nowhere and getting frustrated trying to work all this out.
I had exactly the same problem and could solve it.
I described my solution here:
https://code.google.com/p/aosp4nexus5/wiki/AOSPforNexus5
The documentation describes two alternatives:
1. Manual installation which is lost with every new flashing of the system image
2. Integration in the build process to create a system image including Google Play Store as vendor-specific prebuilt APKs
Thanks, I'll try it out
Do you have any ideas where I could get GoogleServicesFramework.apk from?
Places like apkmirror have GooglePlayStore.apk and GooglePlayServices.apk for Lollipop but not GoogleServicesFramework, (why would they have 2 of them but not all of them?).
I don't have a Nexus 10 device so can't obtain them as you did in your post.

You can unzip the file gapps-lp-20141109-signed.zip from BasketBuild https://s.basketbuild.com/gapps
You find it under system/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework.
The name of the APKs may differ. GooglePlayServices is named something like GsmCore or com.google.android.gsm.
The Play Store is named something like Phonesky or Vending.
Thanks very much
- You have problems with the application Google Play Services 7.0.97?...
Google with the latest updates of play services has caused many problems, continuous blocks and excessive consumption of the battery...
I have not found a definitive solution to use version 7.0.97, but I can explain an alternative and provisional...
- What you need?
1. Root
2. Google Play Services .apk version 6.6.03 universal armeabi CPU (I preferred version and stable)
3. File manager with permission root
How to?
1. uninstall the previous version of the Google Play Services
2. install version 6.6.03 (...)
3. create a folder in /Data/app with name com.google.android.gms-2 , permits changes in RW-R-R (this folder blocks the automatic update)
Note:
- Updated from sdcard worked

Great ... until it gets auto-"upgraded" by Google. Since this is not listed as an app in Play, how would one mark to not auto-upgrade. Maybe if it shows on recent upgrades in "my-apps," auto-upgrade can be unchecked from there.
Tasker scripts and/or the "Amplfiy" Xposed module can be used to tame the battery drain, or use an app-permissions that might come with your ROM to take away keep-awake. Will do nothing for the instability, however.
Maybe post a link to the old version.

This looks like for lollipop.
In previous Android, using Link2sd, this would BE the link to the apk.
So what I did try was side-loading 6.6.03. The downgrade installed without a hitch thanks to the xinstall module, link2sd symlinked it, fine.
Then rebooted. Hoped to intercept the expected update and uncheck the Play Services auto-upgrade at that point. Unfortunately, most recent Google App (Search/Now) will not eat 6.6.03 so got com.google.process.gapps stop messages. The Google Now pane offered a click to install Play Services but this did not work.
Attempt to side-load 7.0.86 simply hung so trying to restore 7.0.97 from Titanium which also takes quite a bit of time but should eventually work (hope). So far, not successful, but will get it. Had side-loaded it originally.
is it causing problems on every version of android or only on kitkat ??

You need copy backup folder to your computer.

I can't get both files on my PC as it will take days
Anyone know of a way to get these 2 files?
Thanks
I have the 2 files. But before I start can someone got a link for the gapps apk please.
EDIT= So it did downgrade ok.
But now I can't install google play from either the oppo store or from apk.

Go into permissions manager and make sure the play installer has all it's permissions?
I haven't had an issue on ColorOS, but I had that sort of issue on MIUI once and that fixed it.

Thanks but I've tried that. OPPO support say that because it has the Chinese rom, it won't install Goolge services
I have got to find out how the stores do it. Or find an original rom with google alreay in.

Have 10000s of internet cookies
That fixed it
How did you do it?
Thank you so much for this.
Couldn't wake phone up from sleep half the time with beta, and going back has fixed everything.
