Greetings,
Due to the time consuming changes, I have put up some automated process for Api v1 only and Windows 7. It uses a all the tools mentioned in this thread (apktool, signapk,openssl) and some other. See the batch file for details and usage and feel free to adjust it for your needs.
I have tested in my environment with some apk's using Api v1 that I needed and it worked. If it would not work on you... well.. you've got the sources, have fun
.
You can find the script and dependencies here. Give it a try. Hope it will help.

Greetings,
Happy news, I have updated the tool to support both v1 and v2 automatically. For v2 you will need your API key value from google (see first post).
Simple usage (v1 or v2):
For more, see the readme.txt file from package.Code:patch.bat com.your.app.apk
Features:
- detects automatically which API version the apk uses, so you don't need to check it for yourself;
- for APIv2 only, prompts the user for the value if not configured;
- renames final patched apk to a more human value (com.shazam.android.apk ==> Shazam-4.2.0-JB80349.apk);
- included Google Play Services apk in the output folder for easy install (for API v2);
- other minor goodies.
If anyone is interested, you can find the script and dependencies here. Feel free to use it, changed or improve it. Give it a try
Regards

- Christian, well done! Thanks for fixing :-)There was a bug indeed. The 2.0 version simplifies and fixes that. Thanks for the remark
I have patched quite a lot of apps manually and I have learned, that the method "isGooglePlayServicesAvailable" can easily be found by searching for com.android.vending and using the header as additional identification. This works quite well, even if the methods are obfuscated.
Example of an obfuscated method:
.method public static a(Landroid/content/ContextI
.registers 8
const/16 v0, 0x9
const/4 v2, 0x1
const/4 v1, 0x0
invoke-virtual {p0}, Landroid/content/Context;->getPackageManager()Landroid/content/pm/PackageManager;
move-result-object v3
:try_start_8
invoke-virtual {p0}, Landroid/content/Context;->getResources()Landroid/content/res/Resources;
move-result-object v4
const v5, 0x7f0a005b
invoke-virtual {v4, v5}, Landroid/content/res/Resources;->getString(I)Ljava/lang/String;
:try_end_12
.catch Ljava/lang/Throwable; {:try_start_8 .. :try_end_12} :catch_6b
:goto_12
:try_start_12
const-string v4, "com.android.vending"
const/16 v5, 0x40
------ truncated -----
The method always defines the registers and the three constant values and then defines a string as "com.android.vending"
const/16 v0, 0x9
const/4 v2, 0x1
const/4 v1, 0x0
...
const-string v4, "com.android.vending"
Maybe you can use this identification to a) find the correct file and b) patch the correct method.
What is your opinion on this?
