[Q] Need to install Apps as Non-market apps - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I could install the apps to my HTC HD2 Android with CM7 before. After I flash my device to the AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.7 CM7.2, I tried to reinstall the apps from my Market Place profile but it reported my device was not compatible to that apps. I directly download the apps and need to install the apps as non-Market apps? The apps work fine.
My question is why the apps report incompatible with my device? Not only one apps has this problem, what should I do to solve this?
Best regards,
Kelvin.

App Compatibility
Which apps have you tried re-installing?
Perhaps they aren't yet compatible with something updated in GB 2.3.7?
When they were running, what OS version was on your device?

For example the Adobe Reader. PasswordWallet, SyncMate (as I can't post the URL in the reply, apps is easily to search it out from Google)
One of the most popular instant messager in China, the QQ also reports Parse error (There is a problem parsing the package) and cannot be installed.
They claimed this firmware 2.3.7 which was optimized by non-official source.
Any suggestion that I can do the installation?
Best regards,
Kelvin.

I couldn't find Google Maps 4.2 in Market and installed it from .apk instead. Now the map is refreshing and loading very very slowly. Someone experiencing the same problem?
Also I do not have multi-touch in Google Maps 4.2.
nope, my works fine,
update to the newest rom through OTA or .exe from Legend Android Development Section. The code version name of rom: Legend_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_47.39.35.09_7. 08.35.21_release_130330_signed
you can find the topic here:

Maps 4.2 worked fine here, but now a problem exists with 4.3 version. Okay, can't find on the market as usual. But even installing the downloaded .apk doesn't work. With the .apk you can only uninstall or update the existing maps. But it only stays at 4.2, whatever I do.
Anyone having similar problems and a workaround?
I installed the stock RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_47.39.35.09_7. 08.35.21_release_130330_signed ROM which comes with GoogleMaps 4.1 and pinch-to-zoom by default. I could not find GoogleMaps in the Market...

[Q] Some apps not available after a rom flash why ?

Hello
After a flash some apps are not anymore available on the market, i ve tested many roms and some of them allow the device to be listed in play.google.com/store/account My order & devices.
If it is listed the devices will have the status for the desired application : not compatible, which is not true.
I ve tried market enabler, but without out success. It seems not related to the version of android used, nor the kernel.
the rom i use is (GB)Miui Special Edition V11 Multilanguage(2.3.2)(Bravia Engine) V11 and the application is Exchange by TouchDown Key.
thanks a lot for your helps

You need to make modifications to your build.prop fingerprint. Which you would have found out had searched just for about 30 seconds, so on that note I will allow you to now SEARCH for what to change in your build.prop

[Q] Download older versions of Apps ? (Qualified apk site)

Hi everyone. I'm new on android so this issue confuses my mind. If i have to download an older version of an application, how can i find an older version of it. For instance the newest version of "A" application is 2.2.1. But i want to do downgrade/download the older version for instance 2.1.0. How can i get it? From apk sites or such like that?
If so what is the widest and best apk sites for this to download ??
Thanks for your replies...
contact the app developer and ask for it is probably the easiest/quickest route

Thanks for your reply firstly. But i asked this question as a general knowledge. Before my new android phone, i was using the iOS and i know how to do it. (i knew the .ipa sources and methods) Also i did it sometimes. But in android i dont know any quality apk sources for instance for older versions of some base applications (that has receive lots of updates) whatsapp, instagram, facebook etc...
Many of the apk sites will be no more than Warez sites .
Google is always your best source of apks bearing in mind the above .
Possibly a search or an ask on XDA .
Old versions is not something normally asked for .

all the apps on play store have email contacts, so I would just email them direct

Installing youtube on an old Samsung phone

I have Acer A500 with Android 4.0.3
I'm trying to install apk Youtube 11.01.70
Youtube won't run without Google Pay services
Google Play services is not present
I try to install apk Google Play services 14.3.69. When I try to install it, it tells me there is a problem parsing the package
Any more ideas?
Because you're using an outdated version of Android.
So it's not possible at all? I thought for an old version of Android I just had to find the right old version of the apps (apk) and installed them.

Even if you did that, it'll ask you to update your apps.
And you can't manually just add all the apps you need? (like Google Play Services in my case)
I find it surprising that this old Android cannot go back to the state it was 10 years ago, if I can get the same software (apk)
In general, the problem parsing the package means that your system software is too old to install that apk file.
Can't you upgrade your Acer A500 system software via OTA at first?
On the other hand, does your mobile phone system really have no built-in Google service framework?

Thanks for the idea. I have never done something like that. Where can I find a OTA image for A500? If you have any instructions for installation it would be also appreciated
Thanks for all the answers. To clarify:
I had Google Services Framework 4.0.4-278776
I just installed Google Play Services 8.1.04 (2215451-036) (036) (successfully, as per indications in this post)
I had install Youtube 11.01.70
When I try to run Youtube tells me that there is a newer version and doesn't go further.
This tablet won't run anything past android 4.0.3, at least without some hacks. With hacks this will run with android 5.1, thus allowing the installation of YouTube.
