(TRICK) How to stop Google Play Store self update

Hello gus:)
this is a simple method I recently discovered which is very helpful in case you don't care about keeping play sore up to date,
or you just don't want your data plan to be wasted frequently when google play store update itself.
all of the methods I have tried so far didn't work for me except installing modded play store,
but for guys who want to use normal play store here is the solution(tested on 2 custom roms tw 5.1.1 and cm 13):
requirements
- rooted device
- service disabler (pm method like MyAndroidTools app)
apparently google play store uses 3 different services to keep up to date and when I disabled those services the app seems to no longer update itself. this is quite simple all you need to do is the next 2 steps(using myandroidtools app):

1. Go to services section then tap "system" tab. You get a list of your system apps, look for play store app and tap on it.

2. there are many services that are necessary for the play store to work, don't touch them,
as touching them will disable them and can cause the app not to function properly.
we are looking for those services that contain the phrase AutoUpdate, for example there is servise called "ReschedularUsingBroadcast$AutoUpdateRecheckForBroadcast" tap on each of those servise and wait for them to be disabled. your good to go now no annoying updates anymore:D

3. to restore google play self update simply enable those services again:)

hope I helped if there are any problems post them here:)
