Hi All,
I have a question, which I am sure has been raised many many times, but through the use of a quick search - was unable to find anything specifically relevant, and the fact that I am at work, I dont have much time to sit there and brouse websites and threads all day.
Anywho, with the change over from Market (play store) 3.5.19 to Market (play store) 3.7.13 - the issue of DPI change has made the market make multiple apps disappear, and say "not avaliable on your device" or something along those lines if you manually go to the apps page.
The way to fix this is to obviously change the DPI back to 240 from (200 or 186 or custom etc) then reboot and the apps will reappear....
But my question is, is there a way to fool the market into believing you have 240dpi the whole time, so i dont have to keep restarting my phone everytime i want to use a custom DPI - the previous market version 3.5.19 worked fine, but the newer one does not. And although it is fairly simple to change the DPI back to 240 then reboot and apply all upgrades to apps, then back again, I assume everyone would prefer a more permanent fixed solution...
Maybe there is already one out there, i am unsure, if anyone could point me to the right direction, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I believe there is a multi-dpi market apk floating around. Can't point you to the though sorry, on phone.
try the dpi 188 or 160~
and try to clear the data of GoogleServicesFramework and Market before you reboot~
220 worked fine for me
ok seems as tho i keep getting errors when i try to delete data from google framework and play store. im going to have to hunt down the multi-dpi market place...

Why do some apps not show up in the Android market on the Archos 101? For example, I use an app called My Backup Pro...it doesn't show up. I searched for Lookout Mobile...it doesn't show...neither does Norton Mobile Security. I searched around but didn't find an answer to this. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
caseym
not all apps will show up... from my understanding, protected apps do not appear. i myself have been looking for a few, and had to resort to side loading them.

Thanks!

Paid Apps Outside US?
I installed v5-final and have done the market fix several times but I only get free apps - NO paid ones. The catch is that I am located in Costa Rica - could someone comfirm that paid apps are only available in North America/Europe. If ALL (free and paid) apps are available everywhere then I have to figure out my problem, if not, I will just buy apps like crazy when I am back in the states (unless someone knows a work-around). Thanks.
I just tried the same thing and now my market app doesn't work. Any suggestions. Thanks
Just fixed it

Titanium backup in use?
i need to ask everyone with this issue, is everyone having this issue using titanium backup, and only seems to have problems after pulling from titanium's backup?
ill give my reasoning for this question...if you are having an issue, with certain apps just vanishing from the market on your phone.... even if you know its installed....
have a look at the list of questionable apps in TB, is there a yellow ball, with NO "M" overlaying it.... this may be the issue... you may have to delete all backup s for said app that DO NOT have a "M" ...wipe that apps data (in TB) and trying to restore from a backup that DOES have the "M"
please check this out, and let me know if i figured this out right... i have spent way too long pulling my hair out over this...and it seems like this was a fix for me...so far... ill edit in a few days if it all holds out
additional, if you are getting an "app incompatible" in the market... and have changed your LCD density , you will have to change it back to its default (240 for the DX) the new market seems to check for that.. and must label the device as unusable with the app, even if you KNOW its working just fine... i hope the market gets fixed to tolerate this...but im sure its part of the NEW market compatibility check
Hi Migamix,
If you have backups that don't contain a Market link, no need to delete them because they won't interfere - as long as you restore the one that has the link, of course.
When batch restoring it's a bit different, the latest backup for the chosen platform is picked, so you have to ensure that that one has a Market link.
But in any case, if you have the PRO version you can long-click and force attach it to to Market afterwards.

the force to market did not work for me, at all...many times, many tries.. some days im on a rom flashing fest...and some of those times ive done a batch restore and had only 20 apps in my market list.. its odd but it seems the only time it worked for me was after having the market attached "M" notification on all the files i wanted...i looked at this issue after letting the market auto restore post rom install, and manually pushed a few more that were causing problems...but i saw how 80% of the apps i restored (data only) refused to keep a link to the market... poked around.... uninstalled a problem app... noticed one of my older backups had an "M" while the rest didn't...so, i used that backup, and moments later that app was available in the market, and had an update... so i went and did it with a few more.... all those apps i managed to get installed in this fashion...still after 3 days, have not dropped their market links...where as...sometimes after a force market linking...would only last an hour if at all
i wanted to post this because i saw how many others were having the exact issue...i wanted to see if there is something in the way TB communicates with the data of the market ...causing market link confusion...
it seems like there needs to be a little more work with the market tools in TB....
ps, there also a setting i messed with that changed the way TB was getting market links... i think it was turning off accurate market check...
hopefully this post doesn't require too much re-reading....im a bit of a bad multitask'r sometimes
Do you know a way to get an apk of an app if the market means the device is incompatible?
android 2.3 avds you also can't install market on to do that :/
Why isn't it possible to download the apk file?
If there is no way may someone dump the app from that one, please and attach it here?
Thanks.

it may be that this app is really incompatible with your device,
or
there are 3 things which sometimes block me from installing apps from market:
- custom screen density (I have 180 set in build.prop), setting it back to 240 helps in some cases
- new market (3.x) seems to have some different rules for establishing compatibility, I've found that going back to the old version (2.x) solves most problems (one notable example being CoolReader, which absolutely refused to install under 3.x, and went smoothly from 2.x market), there's a nice app for switching between versions - Old Market
- Settings / Language - in some rare cases setting the language to English helps, although it's probably not the case with the app you want
Theres an .apk called market fixer with that you can download all the apps again! Or at least there is for the nexus s... its probably for all devices though.
You have to be rooted and have busy box installed then you can install itvand it showes you all apps on the market again... i didnt find where i got it from but just seach the forum or the web!
THank you guys. I neither find "market fixer" nor "itvand"
I guess it's my screen resolution (its ldpi. x10 mini pro) that it won't show apps that are made for bigger screens. but I found out that many apps are just not tested against ldpi but work fine, too.
and thus i ned a way to get the apks of apps I like to test against my mimmi.
I you have further ideas or links, let me know I will do further research
Everywhere i looked they postet this as a downloadlink for the fix.apk: jrummy16.com/jrummy/testing/
But i dont see the .apk there.
What apps do you want to download? I think you should still be able to see the apps on the market even if they dont work on your device! I had the same issue and tqhe fix.apk fixed it...
Hi, I have been trying to download some apps for my galaxy note but in the market place the app does not even show up. I know these apps are compatiable because i have seen them on other notes, and online. Such as omni sketch. When I search the play store it does not show up anywhere, and when i googled omnisketch android store and clicked the link it brought me to the play store page but i could not download it. The same goes for samsung apps application, and zen brush.
My atnt note is rooted and has the saurom rom on it , but i did not overclock or anything. Also i read up on the q and a for the saurom rom and did not find my answer. But i did not apply the atnt fix because I am not using atnt i am using t-mobile hspa+
Any help guys? Also my language says english us but when i click it it changes to english canada so i restored it from a nandroid backup i did when i first flashed the rom and it now says english us and i have not clicked it again so far but i think it is actually english canda? Anyway i can fix this too
Thanks!
I'm having this same problem on my AT&T note flashed with Saurom 7.1...
A bunch of apps that are even ADVERTISED as optimized for galaxy note say
"This app is incompatible with your AT&T Samsung SAMSUNG-SGH-I717." on google play...but if I find the apk for it on my own and install it it works...
why is this happening? can't install:
Jotter
OmniSketch
Zen Brush
Colors! for Galaxy Note
OnLive (even lists galaxy note in description though)
Air Penguin
...the list goes on and on. Why is google play telling me my device is not compatible with these apps even though it is?
Yeah exact problem i was having. Except i didnt manually try installing the apks since some of them were paid apps. Idk why it doesnt make any sense, and i havent found a solution either.

I JUST fixed it! Woooo! I'm not sure exactly what did it but these are the steps I took:
Went to application settings and cleared the data for google play store.
Rebooted phone. (which also reset my DPI from 240 to default)
Started play store...it said it was upgrading from android market bla bla.
Still didn't work.
Uninstalled touchscreen tune.
Messed around with Chainfire pro (made sure no plug in was in use)
all of a sudden my apps are back...it alerted me of the Dolphin HD update (which was incompatible before) and i'm downloading Jotter and Air Penguin as I type this!
I had the same problem. I solved it by using the PAID version of LCD Density Modder. The free version was not enough.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.birdapi.android.dpipro&hl=en
As soon as I updated to the paid version, I got notified of about 30 apps that needed to be updated. Previously those apps were not compatible and were installed through Titanium Backup.
So the dpi/lcd density is the problem?? Thats weird cus i havent changed my dpi or anything its still at stock.
Hmm I'm not sure what to do. I have the same issue, but I haven't messed with the dpi or anything, and I don't have either of the two apps you listed there. I'm on the stock ICS rom, is there anothet way to fix my issue?

LCD density modder (free version) is what I was using to change DPI too. I guess restarting and having the DPI reset is what fixed it or in other words, changing DPI is what caused the problem. It's weird though cause it didn't work till like 10 minutes after the phone was rebooted even though it was at default DPI immediately after the reboot.
For you guys who are still having problems and haven't messed with DPI....do you have chainfire? Try uninstalling or setting everything to default. Or try clearing the Google Play Store application data
I have super user chain fire and i havent messed with anything there either. Ive tried clearing the play store app data and nothing..
Still no luck. This is really annoying me. Why is it not working. Do you guys think going back to stock would help?

THANKS!! I did this on my lenovo tablet and it worked perfectly and fixed everything. It even brought back the movie tab which went missing after market upgraded to google play. I too had about 30 updates to do after it fixed everything. Thanks a mill!! =)
Well I have already paid the .99 on the Amazon Appstore because the Play Store would not let me download it "Your device is not compatible with this version". What does the build.prop need to be to get this to work? I have tried the standard MN build.prop, change it to HTC Vision, Galaxy Tab, stock LCD density and changed it to 187 and the Play Store would not work for any of it. I used Nook Color Tools to force close and clear cache after each build.prop change.
Anyone have the Yahoo Fantasy Baseball app working? It doesnt show in the Play Store at all on the device and on the website it says it is not compatible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit..also tried the IMEI generator as well

I have Google play, and just recently downloaded and played Angry Birds Space, so I thought I would look at what I have, and try the yahoo Fantasy Football also. I was able to see and download both apps you mentioned within Google Play on my Nook (with Kang 7.2 (2/17/12)) with no issues. Looking at my build.prop holds not help I am afraid. It has encore/NC entries and density is at 160. Wish I could be of more help, but not sure what else to tell you except to make sure that you clear data under market.
just wondering why is your lcd density at 187 instead of 160?
187 is a good resolution that doesnt cut anything off.
rnclock could you post your build.prop?
Play store has issues with any dpi other than the standard 160 and 240 dpis

PM'd you. Also, if you are switching to 160 to try Google Play, make sure you clear data under Google Play before starting it back up.

Okay got it working! Updated to a newer MN (2019, I was still on 12-18) Still had the not compatible issue on the nook but it let me download from the Play store online. Thanks everyone!

You may have to conduct some build.prop edits or IMEI (DizzyDen). Make sure you have cleared data in Market also, this sometimes fixes any issues like this. Search the forum for recommended buildprop changes that will help you find/access more apps in the market. Hope this helps.
Just checking if this was somehow fixed or is still an issue. I am running 132 dpi coming from 120 with cm9 alpha....dont notice much of a difference but I hear is is the native resolution.
Ffor the market to work correctly you have to be at 160. The alternative is purchasing LCD Density Modder Pro and within the app it lets you download a hacked market apk and a hacked Google Services Framework apk to be able to see market items again

Well it actually "works" just fine but according to the market you will loose compatibility with a lot of apps but I'm not about to try to make a list of them

And if you did I wouldn't read it so we both lucked out.
Just disable the market updater in a usable dpi. Then change to the dpi you want.
it's hit and miss for me. sometimes many apps doesn't show up as compatible to the device (including some installed apps if the compatibility issue occurs somewhere after your ROM installation).
I've try tinkering around with market (uninstall update, clear data+cache, force stop) and most of the time one of these would do the trick and everything words fine with whatever DPI (132 or 120).
