I have just installed CyanogenMod 7.2 for a while. It's said to be based on Android 2.3 but there seems to be some apps which should be compatible but in fact they're not. Like puzzle retreat, it run smoothly on my old android-4.0 device but it's broken so now I have to uset this app on my htc aria. App was installed successfully but when I opened it, a message error appeared constantly so I had to remove it. Why that happened? This app is supposed to be compatible with android 2.3 and up?
And my contemporary OS version: CyanogenMod-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-liberty.
You will need to post more details about the error or a screenshot in order for anyone to help. If you just moved your sd card to the Aria and are expecting it to work, there could be a problem - maybe clear the apps cache/date before launching it (which will erase any info saved by the app)...
Also, if you're sideloading the app, there's a chance it is not compatible with the older version of android - and should be installed from the play store so you can get the compatible version.

I have Vegan-tab gingerbread 7.0RC1 pershoot bl1.2.
Flash no longer shows up on my installed apps. When i search for it, It says it is not compatible for my device, google maps does the same thing too. Does anyone else have this problem too. I just noticed it last week.

Yeah, that was the only problem I had with that ROM. It seemed to always happen for me when the tablet would hard freeze and I had to reboot. Once it boots back up, anytime I access the Market, everything was not compatible with GTab.
I never found a solution other than returning to HC. It was a good ROM and that was the only prob I had with it.
Does [BL1.2]VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition v7.1.0 solve this issue?
Yes, it is much better running Vending 3.1.3.
If you have superuser rights, use AntTek App Manager to backup flash, than delete it from system (even sys application version), the Hulufied version from ASOP Ginger posts. You might need to install, update from market, remove, and install Hulufied version to stick.
Just download it on the PC..then hook up your GTab to the PC...drag the Flash 10.3 (Yes that one will work) into the storage on the device. Then download it from there.
All the apps (And there was ALOT) that shows up Non Compatible with your device in the Market...will actually work if you do it that way.
Thank you for all the responses. I went for the upgrade option to Vegantab 7.1. I am very pleased.
So about 3 days ago i was starting to learn some android app development with Eclipse by http://www.youtube.com/user/CornboyzAndroid videos (no promo) and iv been following for about 11 videos, i have no errors in my code only the notifications about hardcoding text. Everything works fine in emulator (the app is on 2.1 and emulator is on 2.1 too) but when i try to install it on my phone (Xperia Neo w/ open bootloader, new ROM and Kernel, running 2.3.3) it says app not installed. But that doesen't tell me anything or how to fix it. All other apps are installing fine. I let my friend test if he could install it and the same problem came up. The app is supposed to be just some startup screen and menu that has buttons and stuff, nothing fancy, but to start with my deving i would like to get atleast one working app.
So has anyone experiensed this kind of thing and knows how to fix it?
I have a new problem that is affecting me with my paid apps. Everytime I try to install them from the Play Store I get the following error "couldn't install on usb storage or sd card"
I have previously installed the apps fine but this just started and affects old purchases as well. Since this affects multiple devices including fresh wiped devices the problem is not my devices and must be a problem on Googles end.
One device is my Samsung Galaxy S II running a stock 4.1.2 touchwiz based rom and the other is a Genymotion tablet VM that is AOSP 4.2.2 based
I have unmounted my sd card on the S II so it would not try to use it but the tablet uses the combined data/sdcard partition so no unmounting is possible.
I was able to install one paid app (only paid app that has low enough system requirements) on a old Motorola Milestone running 2.3.4 then pulled the apk and sideloaded it on the other devices which also points to a Play Store problem and not the device.
Hello
I have an Xperia Ray and was running a 4.4.4 ROM based on CyanogenMod till a few weeks ago when I started to realize that many of the newer versions of different apps caused strange troubles. Some of them crashed most file explorers I tried just on loading the icon from the downloaded APK. Some I managed to install nonetheless only to have the same problem with the launcher/drawer itself. Every time it tries to display the icon of the app it dies. Looking for a solution I discovered that CM13 got ported for my phone and was happy to be able to change to Android 6.0.1.
Sadly the troubles did not go away. The apps that showed the above mentioned symptoms on 4.4.4 have similar effects on 6.0.1. Only that now these apps are crashing the whole phone forcing a reboot and that the launcher app does not load at all anymore. Only solution is to uninstall the app manually in recovery mode via adb shell.
After a lot of tinkering, experimenting, talking to other app devs, and rebuilding open source apps I found that the problems appeared with the update to Android Studio 3. It seems that without changing anything code wise for these apps only the update from gradle wrapper 3.5 to 4.1 seems to cause these troubles. On the other hand I can build my own apps with the newest Android Studio with everything up to date without these problems showing up. So I guess it is some library, API, or whatever in combination with the newer gradle versions that causes these troubles.
Well, it seems that there is a bug in the CyanogenMod ROMs, as far as I know by now. It's not a Xperia Ray specific problem as people with other hardware running CyanogenMod have the same problems. For example this thread here. And I got confirmation from an app developer team that they were able to reproduce the problems on a Galaxy S2 running CM13.
It's also not Android version related as updating to 6.0.1 did not help at all.
Have you experienced what I'm talking about and maybe found the solution for that problem? I think there is a bug in the CyanogenMod system somewhere but I'm not skilled enough to find it.
I fear that these problems will render my phone incompatible with more and more upcoming app versions and would really hate to have to switch to a bulky modern phone.
Here are some log files showing the errors. Maybe you can read something useful from them.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
Here some additional info that came as answer from a dev team I contacted regarding this issue:
The issue you have reported tends to only occur in devices with the older memory layout used by manufacturers for devices that run Android 2.x onwards, such as the Galaxy S2 - this layout still sticks around even when upgrading to custom ROMs with newer android versions. A unified internal layout for Android devices only started to appear in 2013 and it became the de-facto layout in 2014 or so.
In the old layout, you have both an Internal System Partition (1-2GB) and then an Internal System Memory (the rest of the device's advertised internal memory - its seen as emulated "External memory" - an external SD card then becomes "SD2" in these devices when running a custom ROM). This causes problems for apps that are created and compiled with the unified memory layout in mind, even if the old SDK is the target, because the system will not direct them to an accessible storage area to store user data.
The apps that do not have problems were the ones that have been around since android 2.x; they will instead have their own set of problems for newer devices and versions of Android.
Right now I'm not sure what to think of this...
Push...
push too , if i use a non cyangenmod based rom like paranoid android (6.0 Android MarshMallow Pure AOSP for Google Nexus 7 2012 WIFI), is this prob fixed then ?
i have nexus 7 (2012) wifi only device , i have cyanogenmod 11 (20141112) / android 4.4.4 ( this tablet has no SD card slot so no SD2 assignment )
Not Sony Xperia,..
Only a cheap Haier A16C3H with CM13 Nightly...but..
Yes the trouble is exactly the same in my experience here. I don't know what to do for the solution, except perhaps one of:
# "keep/looking for & install - only the old version of apps, or
# buying a new phone (if I can)
Sad
Nothing new
Push
Nothing new from my side, except that I think twice before updating an APP by now.
So far I've managed to get around with my old Xperia, but would be nice if someone more knowledgable could look into this matter.
Thanks.
Anyone figured out how to fix this? or even a workaround?
My problem was the cm13 based rom I am using on my LG G3 Beat had this problem with newer versions of apps, but someone made a cm14 based rom that fixes this problem but in exchange it created another problem, lag in the touchscreen, playing games where you have to do combo/multiple taps became impossible.
I got so frustrated that I just went back to stock lol.
Hi all, I've just purchased this box and I've had nothing but trouble with it.
Basically, I cannot download, install and update anything from the built in google play store (it appears to be a very old version v15 compared to my Android phone which is V24.9) I cannot even get it to update the version even though I click on version info and it says a new version will be downloaded - it never happens.
So I moved on to sideloading apps such as Firefox, aida64 etc as the version of chrome that comes on the box is ancient and I cannot update it due to the above google play store issue.
This box comes with a custom version of KODI called RKMC which is 18.2 Leia - Obviously we're on 19 Matrix now so I proceeded to uninstall this version and I installed the ARMV7 version of KODI 19 direct from the main KODI website. This installed fine but I was unable to install anything from any REPOs due to an error (the dependency on xbmc.python version 2.1.0 could not be satisfied)
I have now factory reset my box and I'm still encountering all the same issues as above so I've come to the conclusion that the firmware on the box is FUBAR'ED so I'd like to know if anyone can recommend a firmware that is compatible with this box that will allow me to use google play store without having to sideload apps etc
I intend to use this box as a EMUELEC console - I've got as far as booting up to EMUELEC using a micro SD card - however, whenever I reinsert the SD card back into my pc to move some ROMs on to it - it produces a BSOD - probably not the best place to talk about this here but thought I'd mention it as its just another issue in a long list of issues I'm having with this box.
Thanks
Not sure if bumping is allowed but I also have the same issues. It's the first box I've bought and it's kind of frustrating...
