PCM7 Play Store Apps Not Compatible? - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using PCM7 and I've installed Evernote from backup. It doesn't show up as installed on the Play Store. The Play Store also says that Evernote is not compatible with the device.
I can't recall what is used to identify the device to the Play Store, but I'm guessing the PCM7 ROM has a different device set than other ROMs and needs to be adjusted.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

you changed lcd density,didn't you? You must set resolution to 160dpi or 240dpi then clear playstore data.

Yep, I did.
I'll give this change a shot.
Edit:
...that worked. Thanks.

[Q] Many Apps Saying "Incompatible With Your Device"

I'm running the CM7 nightly roms on my NC, and I've recently noticed a number of apps no longer listed as compatible from the market. Angry Birds for example, does not have the install button on the previous market, and on the new 3.1.X market actually has a message at the top of the window that says incompatible.
The web version of the market has my nook grayed out in the install window.
My build.prop is the stock CM7 one, no hacking.
What gives?
I had the same problem and believe the is some other posts for this.
My fix was:
1. diable wifi
2. uninstall the market update
3. backup and uninstall market updater with titanium backup
Sent from my NookColor
My fix is:
set resolution to 160dpi (using LCD Density app or hacking build.prop) and clear Market data
???
profit!!!
Many apps which I have downloaded from market before are saying that they are not available in my country. Whats the point excluding countries? Do the dev wanna make money or not?

I did this..I couldn't run Yahoo fantasy football app
1.disabled market update..use old store
2. Froze market update in titanium backup
3. cleared cache and data from store app and from Google services frameworks.
I can now download yahoo and other programs that would not even give me a download button...
I just installed cm7 7.0.0 stable along with the gapps and it came with the new market what would be the best way to allow me to download the tablet version of apps along with google maps/earth right now they say incompatible

Some countries do not have paid app support. Sometimes the dev just likes to keep stuff in the US to not have any problems with money conversions, import/export laws, etc.

Hi, I edited my build.prop manually and changed the fingerprint/description to match a Nexus S using:
ro.build.description=soju-user 2.3.4 GRJ22 121341 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/relelease-keys
rebooted, cleared cache, dalvik, in cwm and booted and everything shows up and works - facebook, netflix, etc...
I just #commented out what was there and added the lines below, saved, rebooted and viola!
Im on CM7 nightly 08312011 on my Nook Color, hope that helps!
PS. I havent messed with the market updater/etc.. Im using the 3.13(cant remember off hand) version of the market posted also, everything showed up before n after.

I've seen this solution a lot except the others didn't say clear market data. I just wanna emphasize that point. It makes the difference.

I also set dpi to 160. I didn't see any fixed app info until I took my Nook to a wifi network I've never used before and ran Google Market; it showed (for the first time after autoupdating to the newer GM a few weeks ago) the accept/deny conditions window. After clicking accept, GM started showing not only the usual apps, games, books sections but also movies. Half my apps which weren't showing updates before showed available updates. Google Market itself updated to the latest edition, still showing Movies.
I'm not sure if using the NC at a brand-new location did something to market data, but if the dpi fix isn't working I would recommend trying (the market data clear).

To get it to work you need to clear market data. That is the main part of the dpi fix not something new.

Well, point was I haven't actively cleared market data, but apps that were blocked before came back and movies are now active --- so does GM do a market data clear when joining a new network or was it something else?

The market auto-updates data. This is also why it breaks again after awhile.

Market seems to be fixed, most likely on Google's server end. A number of us have not needed to clear market data for several days now. I'm going on 4 days with fully functioning market at 160 and no data clearing. Joenathane is experiencing the same. It is possible that this is what angomy experienced albeit in an indirect fashion.
I did not notice till I flashed the newest gapps (0823), so can't say for sure why it is working. Would suggest those clearing market data before opening the app to stop doing so for a while and see if the apps list stays solid.
incompatibility in market
after trying everything, i also found that (atleast for me) if i cleared data for the market, that fixed it.
thanks,

Angry Birds Space and Yahoo Fantasy Baseball

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.

Thanks for the build.prop! Yeah I have been clearing data after every change, but thanks for the reminder.
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.

Does 132 dpi still screw up the market?

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).

[Q] Install Real Racing 2 under CM9?

I saw that Real Racing 2 went on sale for $0.99 and I wanted to take advantage of that. Unfortunately, the Play Store seems to think the app is incompatible with my device. I'm running turl's CM9, which, by default, reports itself as an "unknown MB860". I did some research and changed build.prop to be a "motorola MB860", cleared data for Google Play Store, rebooted, and still no go. I then got out a bigger hammer (as the post I found about market incompatibilities suggested) and change it to a "samsung Nexus S". No joy. I can't imagine the game isn't actually compatible with the Atrix, is it? Any idea of how I can get this purchased and installed? Thanks.
You can purchase through logging in to your Google account through a browser on the Google play website. As for installing it I have no idea
I was annoyed by this too. Really wanted to download this game but got the incompatibility message too on cm7.

It's incompatible with stock, the game is probably only for 800x480 pix screens.

Yeah, I also had the free version on Nottach's ROM... installed fine off of market for me. Ran laggy as hell though, what has your guys experience been with it?

[Q] Multiple apps previously downloaded are not compatible with phone in Play Store

Hi all. I need some help in figuring out what the problem is.
Currently I am running Paranoid Kangdroid by JamieD. I have multiple apps that are downloaded, but when I go to their Play Store Page, I get a meesage that says my device isn't compatible with the app.
Here are some of the apps that are applicable to this problem:
Square Register
Tasker
Google Hangouts (replaces Talk)
9Gag Official App
Temple Run 2
Amazon Mobile
There are a lot more apps, but these are just a few.
This problem also occurred with PTMR's Debloated JB 4.1 and JamieD's Revolt. I was wondering what could the problem be? Resetting the DPI did not fix anything and I wasn't sure making a post in the development thread would be the best place to ask my question. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I'd try this (I'm tired so I'll forget actual details):
Make sure your play store is 320 size and 360 layout. Once that's done, restart phone, then delete cache and data for play store and play services, restart again.

Thanks for your reply, but it didn't work. Maybe we're missing a crucial step?
The weird thing about this is that the play store didn't act weird until recently (maybe within the past week). Before, at 220 dpi and 600 layout, I didn't have this problem with the apps mentioned above.
You were on the right track. I just had to reset the dpi for the play store in the hybrid settings. Thanks for the help.

Search for Multi DPI Play Store 4.1.6 and you will find what you need. That way it won't matter your DPI, of the apps are compatible they will be listed.
