I have been trying to get Market Helper to run on a rooted Galaxy Y running JellyBlastv3. I see a lot of good contribution in various threads which I have read (but perhaps I missed something, so if this was answered sorry for the repeat!)
The app works good. My device is recognized by the Play Store as an SIII or Nexus device.
Many apps which I could not access before are accessible, like Talkatone and others. However, for some reason the Google developed apps, like Chrome, Keep, etc., none of them are compatible with the device even when it is being recognized as an SIII.
Any insights into what might be the issue, or better yet, what might solve it?
Thanks!!!!!
Hello all, with the Playstation VUE Android app now available in the Google Play Store I've been trying to figure out a way to get it working on BlueStacks on my Windows 10 tablet. It works great on my phone but I continue to get a "This application is not available for your device" message when I try to run it on BlueStacks. I've tried a handful of different things to try and trick the app into thinking it's running on something else but I've failed. I'm amateur at best with this kind of stuff though so I'm hoping someone much wiser and smarter than me here might have a simple solution?
Hello everyone
Firstly, I would like to say that xda-developers.com has helped me in a lot of problems I had in the past. The members are really helpful here and the discussions that have been done here are clear and understandable.
Coming to my problem, I have the latest BlueStacks v2.5.97 and use it to play games and some social apps.
I have an app called Topps KICK which is a card trading game. I was playing this game on KOPlayer(which is another Android Emulator), but since the latest update of the game I am not able to play the game on KOPlayer, with an error "Cyclic Dependancy not allowed". This happened with most of the popular Emulators like NOX, MEmu.
When I tried to play it on BlueStacks it worked. But I have another 2 accounts of the game which I had on my spare iphones, I now want to transfer those accounts on the Bluestacks Emulator. But the game allows only 1 account per device.
If someone can help me out with this, I would really appreciate it.

If i get your message right:
Use "parallel space" android app to clone it in the same phone (emulator), this way you will have 2 accounts (apps) at the same time, i don't know if you can clone it again but you can give it a try.

Thanks for the reply!
I have already tried it, but it says that the device is being used by *my username*
If there was some way I could fake the Device Identity or something like that, so that the app recognizes it as a New Device.
I use restricted user profiles on the S3 to only allow my children to only access a restricted list of apps I download from the Play Store. It seems that any NEW apps that I download from the play store after the Oreo update do not show up in the list of apps (Settings > Cloud and accounts > Users, select a restricted user).
I did a factory reset this morning, and still no luck. Now only stock apps show up.
I chatted with Samsung this morning, and they want me to take it to the local walk-in Samsung clinic to have it looked at. This seems like a software issue - not a hardware issue. Perhaps Oreo changes the way this feature works - and it is an android issue not a Samsung one?
As a troubleshooting step, would any of you be willing to setup a restricted account on your S3, download a few play store apps and see if they show up to be able to enabled for the restricted account? No matter what I do, only the stock apps show up. It would be helpful to know if others have the problem as well.
I'm having the same problem, we're you able to find a solution? Only happened after the oreo update.

Thank you for reporting your experience with this to this thread. No solution as of yet. Now that I know someone else is having the same issue, I will try Samsung support again and let them know it is a problem with Oreo for all users - not just my tablet. Unfortunately, I'm guessing the best we can hope for is that it gets Samsung's attention to be included in the next update - which will likely be some time from now.
Update: I installed the Smart Tutor app from the Play Store which allowed a Samsung Support rep to see the issue. They agreed that it was not working as it should and opened issue ticket #2194272620. Hopefully this ticket will allow the issue to be noticed and fixed in a future update.

Thanks for the quick follow up! It's good that they finally acknowledged the issue at least.
Stumbled upon pretty much the same issue when I wanted to create a new restricted user account.
Before the update to Oreo; I had already a restricted account. That one has still the possibility to change the 'run' permission for apps. Not sure if it also works for new installed - I haven't tested that.

My experience was that new installed apps would not show up for the existing restricted accounts.
It will be interesting to see if the Tab S4 has this same problem
Hi all together!
Same problem here! This is a mandatory feature for me to share the tablet with my kids. Seems that the oreo update ****ed it up.
The bored Samsung support guy asked me to do a factory reset, and now, after 3 hours of configuration it still doesn't work.
Grrr !!! before the factory reset I had at least these apps working in the restricted profile I configured under android 7.
And ideas? Any update from Samsung ticket you opened?
Regards from cologne, Germany

No new ideas. I am USA but I noticed the korea build was a bit newer so I tried installing that. That didn't help but was interesting.
My understanding from the Samsung rep was that others could call and give the ticket number to get status and add a
"Me too" to it and that may help it get more attention
Having same issue on my Galaxy Tab S3 after Android 8.0.0 install. Did factor reset and still not working. Contacted Samsung using a Samsung Community of "Restricted Profile - New Apps not listed in App and Content Access Menu" and after Samsung suggesting a factory reset, which did not fix problem, they private messaged me to contact Google. I am struggling as there appears to be no way to contact Google for a response other than the mounds of help websites that do not acknowledge or provide fixes. As a parent who is trying to restrict my children's use of tablet to choke off internet and inappropriate items, I am at a loss for now and my kids are whining that they cannot play on any new apps without bugging me to let them use my signon; totally unacceptable.,
Same problem (Samsung Galaxy Tab A6, android oreo 8.1). Completely ruins my restricted account setup for the kids. They're not happy and neither am I!

"Same problem (Samsung Galaxy Tab A6, android oreo 8.1). Completely ruins my restricted account setup for the kids. They're not happy and neither am I!"
Give restricted account permission to use chrome and search for the app you require as an apk. Then install from that.
99% of apps can be found as an apk so it works as a solution until android gets there acts together and sorts it out.
Same here. I just upgraded my Galaxy Tab 10 A6 T580 to Oreo 8.1.
My kids keep asking when they can get the tablet back...
Same problem here after the Oreo update.
Old restricted accounts still have their previously enabled apps, new restricted accounts only get standard Google/Samsung apps.
New apps installed under Oreo from the Play Store do not show up in the app restrictions list.
Somehow, as restricted users also cannot use the Play Store directly, how are they supposed to get any app other than the standard ones?
This is a bug, not a feature.
If it should prevail, I will dump my Android devices and get Apple iOS phones/tablets for the rest of the family.
Same problem here too. I installed few apps after i upgraded my Galaxy Tab 10 A6 T580 to Oreo 8.1. They are not shown..so even resetted the device. Now all is gone on the redtricted users...
My kids also want to get the tablet back...
If anyone has a solution...pls let me know how!
I talked to the Samsung Germany support on Thursday. They know about and acknowledged the problem, however, there is no cure. The technician I talked to hypothesized about the upcoming Android P (roll-out to Samsung devices is planned for 2019) may fix the issue.
The point is, restricted users may also not use the Play Store to install new apps, so in effect, there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY to get any apps except the standard stock apps into a restricted user's account. That does not make any sense at all.
Unless this is really intended (making the restricted account option useless), this looks like a gross oversight in QA on behalf of Samsung.
I'll see how this develops. My immediate solution is to use MobileFence to restrict my kids' accounts on mobiles and tablets (working with normal user accounts).

Same problem, Galaxy Tab A 10.5 (2018), Android 8.1.0 - massively frustrating!
Same problem here - is there any point in contacting Samsung to log this?
Any work around anyone can recommend? We use the tablets for a lot of lessons and set reading and the kids can't even access Kindle on it any more. I saw someone recommended Mobile Fence already, thanks.
It's causing major family tension because of how it's affecting Minecraft too. Huge frustrations.
Same here. I wonder why restricted user feature persists, it is useless now. A can assign only application installed before upgrade to Android 7.x, now on 8.1 and still no new app for assigning to restricted user.
Samsung Tab A6 (2016).
Same problem, subscribing to thread just to be able to see if there is any resolution.
The Tab S3 is the only samsung tablet which amazon whitelisted for playing 1080p/FullHD on prime video. I unfortunately don't have a S3 tablet and now want to simulate it. See this thread in Tab A Forum.
So could you share your build.prop or device information? For this you can use a build.prop app from google play. A famous good app which also includes such functionality is root essentials. For simulating the device information I currently myself use Device ID Masker which is also available in play store.
Me and the other tab a user really appreciate it .
