Hey All:
Bought PvZ during today's sale on my Nexus S. Play Store claims that it's not compatible with my Tablet S (though the thread in this forum claims that it is). Canadian Tab running American ICS 4.0.3 rooted with Condi.
I've used Titanium Backup on my Nexus, and tried to restore that backup on my Tablet, and also tried to extract the APK and install. No luck so far. PvZ downloads the additional 80mb, restarts, shows an hourglass, and then goes back to menu before the PopCap logo (no FC notification).
Can anybody help me get this running on my tablet? Thanks!

I've been seeing this BS more and more that certain devices are banned from getting updates and others aren't. I have a few different devices on difference version of Android and what i've found myself doing is backing up the apps on a supported device using appmonster free and then uploading it to my dropbox and installing it on the "unsupported" device

OK. I'm in turmoil. I've flashed ROM after ROM after ROM (including stock roms), but no matter what I do, I can't find Angry Birds/Fruit Ninja by searching in my Play Store.
I can install Angry Birds using the Web Play Store, or by finding it in the Featured apps tab, but I'd really like to restore my searching functionality.
I assume this is the same with other apps as well, seeing as Fruit Ninja doesn't appear. The two apps appear as compatible on the Web Play Store.
Tried it on a Nexus S, a Motorola XOOM and a Galaxy SII, and the apps appear on all three devices. I'm really stumped, seeing as the problem still arises after a total wipe of the device, and even changing of ROMs!
Can someone help? I'd be grateful.
Thanks!
How is that possible even after flashing different ROMs
Try flashing stock through Odin

It did stick when reflashing ROMs. No worries - changing build.prop fingerprint worked.
Hi guys
So a while back in March I got a new phone from Virgin (Canada). It's a Motorola Razr V (XT885). And a few months later I found out that I can't simply download .apks from the net, and transfer them to my phone via microsd. Even Motorola themselves told me this via email.
I browsed around, and I found this site. And I rooted the phone, and I was able to get apps like Plants vs Zombies, Runtastic Pro, and Vector Pro running all without a hitch. Then I think I unrooted my phone, and now I can't figure out how to get apks to install properly anymore.
I plug my phone into the computer and all that shows is what's on my MicroSD, music, camera. Apps can't be run from the MicroSD. I've tried a bunch but for example, Plants VS Zombies 2 says "This download is paused because you may not have purchased this app".
So I'm just wondering what am I doing wrong? This is really bugging me.
Thanks:

Same account I've always used.
I had apps like Runtastic Pro and all that running no problem. But then for some reason I unrooted my phone, and now I can't figure out how to get any of the apps to work again.
[Q]Titanium backup question and also list of Alternative "markets" people use
I do not own a kindle fire HDX, but I may get one for Christmas this year. Unlike some people in these forums, I would not care if the kindle's amazon services were broken, only reason I chose this tablet was for the SnapDragon 800 and Adreno 330 over the nexus 7's S4 pro and Adreno 320. So if i were to get the 7 inch variant and root it, what markets do you use to get your Google play store apps? another question that I have is the use of titanium backup. I own a HTC Evo 4g lte smartphone running Android 4.1.2. if i were to get an app on my phone, back it up with titanium backup, then copy that folder to my kindle, and try restoring the apps(just the app not the data) using a copy of titanium backup on my kindle, would this work? if someone who has another android device and a rooted kindle and wants to try this out that would be awesome. Any response is appreciated.

There are several alternative markets mentioned around. I use 1Mobile. (http://www.1mobile.com/) it has many of the same apps as the Play Store, just maybe not the most current version. Be aware it will install its own market app but it's not intrusive.
As for restoring backups from TiBu, If it's s paid app then you'll likely run into licensing issues since the app won't be able to verify the license with the Play Store. If it's a game you're restoring then game data will/may have to be downloaded again to resolve differences in graphics chips. I restored TiBu and Root Explorer, both paid. TiBu works but as the free version. Root Explorer seemed to work fine. Other games I restored wouldn't load at all, failing on license check.

thanks, i just thought i would ask. i'll check out 1mobile.
Thanks for the quick reply!
Just throwing in my two cents here. While titanium backup works on the fire after root it gets hung on the checking for license screen of you install the pro apk. This happens even if you restore the data folder it creates with the licensing info. Also 1mobile seems to work just fine.

Hello XDA!
I'm in possession of two devices: The Nexus 5 w/4.4.2, and a Kindle Fire HD running CM10.2 (latest build) (Thanks Hashcode!)
When I got the n5, I also got Gplay credit, and bought some apps.
Note that the Kindle has nearly no bugs that I can notice and operates fairly smoothly under normal circumstances.
But when installing a select few of those paid apps on my Kindle, they always force close upon opening.
The weird parts are that 1. it's only two of the apps I paid for, 4 others work fine and 2. the apps that are broken are nowhere to be found within /data/app. however, they show up as installed in the Store, under the Apps tab in Settings, and even in Clean Master.
The apps currently in question are Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, and Bloons Tower Defense 5.
So is the Play Store screwing up, or are the apps trying to install themselves in the wrong place, or what?
MOD EDIT: Deleted the link to the old thread, since it was in the wrong section and has been closed. Thx.
Hi Folks,
I posted this in the general Kindle forum and it was suggested this was the proper forum to post in for this issue. Here's a paste of what I entered there:
Hello,
I'm using a Kindle Fire HD7 4th gen. I noticed most of the memory was taken up with bloatware, and my daughter could only fit about 5-10 games on it before it was full. So, I decided to root it to bring it to a lower version, which successfully freed up tons of memory. It is now using OS 4.5.3. I'm about 16-20 hours in on trying to install the Google Play Store and have hit every roadbloack imaginable. I have read probably every tutorial there is online on how to do so and how to resolve these errors and nothing has worked. Basically, I either get to the point where it asks for my credentials and then signs me into the store with only the left bar showing and the typical "Error retrieving information from server [DF-DFERH-01]" error on the right, or, just a spinning circle and no left sidebar.
I have tried downloading the very earliest versions of Google Account Manager, Services Framework, Google Play Services, and the Play store APKs as compared to the release date of the tablet. I have tried the earliest existing versions of all of these. I have also tried the very latest versions of each compatible with 4.5.3. I have cleared cache and data numerous times, reinstalled all mentioned versions of all four APKs (restarting the device between each round of reinstalling all 4 apks and before opening the play store icon). I have reinstalled them in the exact order every tutorial says it must be done it.
Does anyone know a definite series of these 4 apks that will install on this device with this OS version? I remember doing it years ago with no problem in the same model, but can't for the life of me get it to work this time. Or, even better, is there a more recommended non-bloated version of Android I could instead install over this whole beast? Even better if Play Store is already loaded in that, heh. Thanks so much ahead of time!
-R
In the original thread it was suggested I upgrade to OS5, but is it really not possible to get the play store on this OS? If I upgrade, will I be able to re-root? I suppose it may be even better if anyone could suggest the best replacement "normal" version of Android that is known working.
Thank very much!
