Hi,
I am from India and I own an android phone of Spice Mi-270.When I use the market app I cannot find many apps which if I visited the market through a web browser are seen.Through the browser if I try to install my phone is detected as "Dolphin Phone" and I get the message as "This app is not compatible with your device".
Installing games or hardware hungry apps, it is understood the phone may not be compatible but softwares like byte tornado, xwind downloader, bestbus route finder being incompatible is hard to digest.
To get this apps I have to request my friends owning Samsung android phones to download and install the apps on their phones and then use the app named "App backup and restore" to backup the app to an apk file.Then they email me the apk file which I install on my phone and it works PERFECTLY FINE !!.
Is there a better way or a free app that can do it for me?

Downloaded an apk pack from the interweb and installed a few apps.
Loaded it up via pc and then clicked on file and it installed. When I go into the market its saying I don't have this app installed? I also installed a game and under settings this appears but not the app?
Is there a way of updating this app as cannot update it via market ? Tried the non paid version of Titanium back up but no use. From searching read Trackdog app. maybe able to do this. Anyone confirm
Is there a way or is the market such it wont let it update?
I was gonna ask same question
I don't think there's any solution for what you are asking. But you can try this: install AppBrain App Market from the market. This app will show all your installed apps, no matter if you installed them straight from the market or other sources. There's an option to sync the apps with AppBrain and if a newer version of your installed apps comes out on the market it will prompt you to update. Obviously, you won't be able to update the apps straight from the market (if they were installed from other sources), but at least you will know there's a new version of the app in the market and then you can try to get the new version from alternate sources. I use this app for Google Plus and some other apps from the market which are not available for my country. This isn't a solution, merely an intermediate step to find out if your apps need to be updated I think Trackdog does exactly the same thing as AppBrain.
Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to update an app that was not installed from the market through the market.
I've downloaded free apps from the market, unzipped them and swapped out some image files, signed and reinstalled, but these apps no longer show up in the play store--when I try, it says that the app was not signed correctly.
I've tried searching but the only thread I found was from 2010 and was essentially a thread about some person stealing a paid apk and trying to get it to update :|
Anyways thanks
Seems impossible
As the signature is different, so I think it is impossible.
Titanium Backup has an option to "Attach to market(forced)" might give that a try or fix permissions.
I had similar problems with games that I bought through the Android edition of the Humble Indie Bundle. Cannot update via Play Store.
market helper.....

not available on play store..
side load it
Ouch, it found the apps but I got a msg like "shared library missing" *_*
I choosend the transformer tablet, better to choose the 3G Nexus 7 ?
I'm on Jelly Bean 4.1.2
Thank you!
FINALLYYYYYYYY!!!!!
I reinstalled http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip throught CWM recovery, then
I sideloaded Market Helper http://codekiem.com/2013/02/13/market-helper/
now LESS apps appears in the google market BUT I finally can sideload every app I want from Aptoide / BlackMart and .apk files!
With Market Helper only I got "shared library missing" error!!!
Tested with PayPal, Fake GPS, Grindr, Bancoposta, Viddy and all the other I wasn't abble to install even listed in the market or sideload before.
In Market Helper I choosed Tablet->Transformer T300GT, maybe with another option you don't need to use Aptoide or sl and Market is wider open.
I don't know If I was just lucky, but I would like to share this method with you since I tried thousands of methods and build.prop editing!!!
I use SKK Phoenix+ Tablet.
OS : Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
First of all i downloaded KingRoot Super User, so i root my phone. I used it to remove these system applications that i can't disable and uninstall. The virus installed several Download Manager system app to download some viruses and ads on my phone (which got me on a rampage). I had to remove all of the fake ones until i accidentally removed the original Download Manager that my phone used to download from Google Play and other sources. I downloaded a Download Manager from the internet (same OS and version as the old one) and i tried to test it out by Downloading a random game on Google Play. After several minutes, a pop-up says "android.process.media has stopped" and then Error (942) will pop-out at my Google Play. I can't post a screenshot of it because Media Storage wont work and it wont let me take pictures, download, screenshot or even view Gallery. Does anyone know how to fix this? or maybe provide me a firmware of my tablet? It would be helpful and a big thank to you all
I'm sorry, it's my first time fixing and root this tablet.
Clear ur google play data. This might work or not. And u shouldnt have deleted those stock apps.
Good day!
I'm using a device running in Android 5.1 (with MediaTek - MT6592m).
I am encountering Error Code:-504 on "SOME" apps and games when downloading them on playstore.
When I try to download the apk file of those apps and games to install, it results to "Application not installed".
BUT those apps and games should work fine on Android 5.1 ...
Is there any definite solution to this?
My co-unit users, find a way on how to install them.
They use a certain third party app (that I can't name) and choose to install those apps and games as "system app".
The pain there is that, why do we need to root just to install supposedly normal apk.
Hope someone could explain or give solution to this.
Thank you very much!
