Android Market Helper
http://codekiem.com/2013/02/13/market-helper/
This app tricks the app store into thinking you have a different device, a Nexus 7 for instance.
This doesn't change your build prop and using it is dead simple. Run it, choose the device you wish to emulate from the drop down list.
click the link for google dashboard, which registers the device as the one you are emulating. Go to play store, download the app you want.
When you're done, reboot the tablet or go back to the mrket helper app and choose restore.
It works as advertised.
Very nice i will have to give it a try when i get my kindle back.. Sooo many apps available now!! Stoked!!
Nice find.
To bad you have to be rooted it said that in later versions it will work for unrooted devices so I will keep it and wait for the update great find man

Edit: Love this app, can download loads of previously "incompatible" apps.
Doesn't work
it seems like I run the app, do all the steps but it doesn't change the configuration in the play store
Same here

Are you logging in to the Google dashboard and verifying the emulated device is listed? I use nexus 7. Works fine for me.

I can confirm this one works, it allow me to install angry birds from the playstore, otherwise it marks as not compatible with my device. looks like i can get rid of the 1mobile market.
Excellent App
Great app. Works perfectly. I just need to find a way to get Sky Go working on my 7" Kindle Fire HD and I'll be a happy boy.:good:
Hmmm. Just crashes for me. Weird. I'll wait for version 2.0
Token not found?
What seems to be the problem if my error window pops up on my KFHD and says "token not found"?
Awesome find, thanks for sharing.

Works great! No problems, awesome!
I tried registering as both Samsung Galaxy and Nexus for two different apps. I get the message "insufficient storage is available" each time. What could I be doing wrong? Storage is not the problem, I have plenty.
Probably unrelated go into settings and remove data for the play store that should fix it

Turns out I had a couple of lingering odex files under data/app. It had nothing to do with this app. Deleted those out, tried again and everything worked great. Thanks!
Worked great for me..good post!

Anyone else having issues with this, I noticed today Google pushed out version 3.10.14 of the Play Store now it's doesn't seem to work any more, tried clearing the data/cache from the Play Store & checking my Google Account & it shows the change in device but apps still remain incompatible from the app & the web versions.
Edit: Well, installing/pushing apps from the web version seems to be working now, but not from the actual device, better than nothing I guess.
Edit 2: That was short lived, not working again, says apps are compatible but grey's the device out even with Nexus 7 set as device.
Edit 3: Market Helper v1.1 released today! Now stuff works again

Hmm, i just opened market, went to apps, and found youtube. Downloaded and installed just fine.
1. Perhaps you should install the gapps 20110828 again, and install with ROM Manager.
link is here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
2. when in doubt, you could always use the patch:

hopefully this'll get it all fixed up for ya.
you need to flash a market fix. The market hides them because it thinks they don't work well on the screen size.
i lied, fix is actually linked on this forum as well

CM7 Alpha 2.1 is supposed to incorporate this patch, but I'm not sure if it works correctly for those people updating without wipes.
I was not able to find youtube application and when i searched in browser and open the link market I got message that in my country I was not allowed to install it. What a BS
So onlyway was to find an apk

I get YouTube n all that Google ish but the problem I'm having is when I search for something n tap the number of results it doesn't show all 1500 apps it only shoes about 90.

Try "Craigslist HD" app. Can't find it on touchpad and Its specifically for tablets. Also, is there a fix for not being able to see all the search results? Search gives 50 results sometimes but only shows the first 20 or so.
Both these problems occurred on alpha 1 and 2.1, and with the market fix flashed.

I can't install instagram on my phone. It doesn't even show up in the play store when I try searching it. When I use the browser to get the play store link it says device is not compatible? How can I get this on my phone I know it works because a lot of you guys have it. Any fix? I've tried clearing play store data and rebooting but no luck.
I'm running saurom 7.1 latest version. And stock 320 dpi. Any ideas why this is not working and how I could get it to work?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Running the same and had the same problem. Google search (on the phone) Instagram APK there is a link that says that it's for people with problems, download and install that
After i do that will it still show up in my installed apps in google play? The reason being is so it can auto update or i will know when to get an update.
Yeah well it has updated 2 times the last couple days and still wont work on ics. So if you've updated your OS you're not missing anything......yet
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Saurom isn't ICS....yes it will update itself. For some reason the playstore just doesn't wanna show that it is compatible.
Hi
Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place. I don't think this is an issue specific to my phone model.
I have this really annoying issue. When I go into the Android Market (or Play Store) and I look at my apps it previously showed purchased apps but now it shows all the apps I've ever installed. If I want to install an app I purchased previously I have to search through all the hundreds of apps I have ever installed!
I've tried to find a resolution via Google but I keep getting results showing how to clear market search history.
Does anyone know what I'm referring to and know how to fix this? Like I said, previously before I upgraded to ICS the market only showed installed apps and purchased apps that I haven't installed, now it shows every app I have ever installed and it seems to include apps I installed on my android tablet!
Thanks
Lee

Welcome to the new play store. This is intentional and functions the same as the iOS app store.

Hi
Thanks for the reply. Its an annoying idea. We should at least have the option to turn it off. If I try an app and don't like it I uninstall it, why would I want to constantly see an app that I don't want! Haha.
I like Android because, among other things, it isn't iOS.
Thanks

came across this while reading Google current article. its jellybean version of playstore. For me, everything is alot better in this one. everything loads almost instantly. alot more optimized IMO. this is the latest version. I already installed and its running fine.
there's new content in this one. like magazines, TV shows, movies, etc.. you will notice the difference once you install this. still amazed how fast everything loads up in this version.
I wasn't sure if this was allowed or not. If not, mods can immediately delete it. its just the new jellybean playstore version that was extracted from JB rom.
Is this just for the US? I have installed this but makes no difference here in the UK.
thanks man
jellybean
i read jelly bean is going to have encrypted apps, think im gonna stay with ICS!

I heard THST also. but I think that only applies for trying to sideload paid apps. I believe you can still sign onto playstore on a new device and install the apps like that. you know you have like a history section that shows all your apps you ever installed or paid from there. then you can just reinstall into new device from there.
they are trying to cut down on piracy so i see the reason why they would encrypt the app to be specific to that psrticualr device once downloaded. it doesn't stop you from entering in your same info on a new device and downloading it again, from the playstore, onto the new device.
The marketplace loads much faster now, thanks!
Thanks!

this is probably a dum? but how do i install this? it says its an APK but when i download it its a zip and it doesnt flash in recovery or install like an APK
edit-nevermind i got it, just renamed to APK and all is good. thanks
I expect this version to be rolled out to all other Android devices. My phone is still on the current version of the Play Store that doesn't have magazines, etc. When I launch the Play Store on it, there is an advertisement to own Pixar movies starting at $10, even though you need the newest version of the Play Store to buy movies. You can also download a Play Magazines app from the current Play Store in preparation for when the new Play Store app rolls out you can buy magazines (or you can subscribe to them online).
Interesting.... thanks for sharing.
Works great! I Thank you.
no problem. still amazed how much better this version is than previous one. this playstire loads everything nearly instant now.
Yes, it's crazy how fast it is compared to the ICS one we previously had.
Sorry for beating a dead horse here, but does the system still lag when installing apps, has that been sorted or is it still more or less the same?
Amazing, Thanks!
Hi,
Is there an European version available? I installed this one and now it does not download apps from the store.
Thanks in advance
Here is a slightly updated version 3.7.13. that came out a couple of days ago:

Hi!
I can't connect to the new services of Google Play Games with any games, I tried SuperStickMan Golf 2 and some more and all are left with a white screen (loading) until the sign in fails ("unknown error" for example).
I have Hangouts running (that use the newest version of Google Play Services) and a Google+ account linked to the google phone account.
Have a International rooted Galaxy Note 2 with Android Revolution v17.
Anyone else with this problem?
Thanks
EDIT: A Wipe Data and flashing new ROM (Wanam) fixed the problem temporarily.
But right now I still can't access any other game. Only StickManGolf is still working with Google Play Games functions, although I clear data WTF!!
And the worst is that I find no information about this problem
This wont help at all but im running wanam's n7105 version of his rom on my phone and i logged in successfully with riptidegp and world of goo and i didnt have hangouts installed but i did install the game service from android headlines. So they do work i guess

I'm wondering if they are blocking rooted phones from logging in? Cause everyone that I've seen that doesn't have any issues are the people with stock phones.

Same problem here. Rooted stock ROM. This sucks if they blocked rooted phones.

Now the only issue is that I can't invite anyone to play, only random player shows up. But on my girls phone she can invite me and everyone else.
Solved! Thanks for the link.

Finally got a solution if it doesn't let you pick your friends on the player list, I emailed them and they gave me the answer. For some reason the game isn't seeing your circles, but I believe I've found the solution.
First, log in to Google+ on your computer. In the upper left area of the screen you'll see the "Home" button. Hover your mouse over it and a window will slide into view from the left. Select "Settings" at the bottom. Next, scroll down to "Apps" and select "Manage Apps". In the white box, hover your mouse over PBA Bowling Challenge, then click on the Pencil icon that appears to the right to "Edit App". Select "Advanced Connection Settings". A window should pop up showing you all the circles that the game can see, so you can select to add your circles from here. Please note that it might take a little while for the changes on the website to show up in the game.
