[Q] Can't install Beautiful Widgets on Nexus S [solved]

Hi guys,
I've managed to install many applications on my Nexus S, however I just can't install Beautiful Widgets on it at all. Does anyone know if this screenshot attached can help - or can anyone point me in the right direction?

I've emailed the developers, and they say that Beautiful Widgets is indeed compatible with the Nexus S, and they develop on the Nexus S all the time.
So I don't know if it is my Google Apps account or something else that is making this difficult?!
Thanks guys

Did you try buying it from the Market app on your phone rather than the website?
As a last resort, you can download the app market enabler and spoof it as T-Mobile USA and buy Beautiful Widgets

It definitely works on the NS but I wish I hadn't bothered as it seems really pixaly.

I've had no problems with it on mine. I use the Beautiful Home Smaller Weather widget on both my home screen and lock screen. It's pretty terrific. You might have issues with the location function, but if you do, you just have to clear the caches in any apps that use location (when I first got it, it was setting to my old apartment. I had to wipe data in BW and Maps, and it's been fine).

The OP isn't asking if the widget works on the NS or not. The problem the OP is having is buying the app from the website, unsure if he can buy it within the market app.

Thanks for the advice.
I can't actually find the Beautiful Widgets app in the Market app on my phone.
Even if I go to the developer's website and scan the QR code, the Market app tells me that there are no search results.
Perhaps then it is a location (South Africa) problem, and I will need to spoof it as T-Mobile USA and buy Beautiful Widgets.
I've just never rooted my phone, and if this is the case, I will need to do some more reading up on how to backup, root, recover, etc before I go any further!
Thanks for the help!
P.S. Going to try purchase it with AndroidPit website ... will revert!

Hi Guys,
It was definitely a location type problem between my phone and Google, or else a problem with Google Checkout and my credit card?
Perhaps I can't purchase any app through the Google Marketplace? I'll have to check that out further.
At any rate, I purchased the BW app through AndroidPIT and BW works perfectly!

Are you on 2.3.3 GRI54? Previously I flashed the Axura ROM and I can see almost all apps but not Fifa 10, when I go to market.android.com, it says the same thing, the app is not compatible with my phone. The developer fixed it by using back the signature GRI40 for the ROM.

The OP already fixed the problem, it was a problem with his location.
No need to respond to this thread anymore.

Amazon App Store Apps Breaking?!

Do you have Amazon App Store installed? I do and sometimes I open an app that I got from there and it says I have to reinstall it from the app store.
So I uninstall then head back and redlownload. It works for a day or two then errors again. Anyone else with this?

yep, kept happening with angry birds, could play it maybe 5 mins then error out and I would redownload and repeat. So I got it somewhere else and uninstalled the amazon app store. To many bugs right now.

do you have fastboot turned on? I think that breaks other market apps.

I wonder if they are having DRM issues, like with Rio if you uninstall the App Store you cant play the game. I bet the apps check to see if you paid for and downloaded them from the app store etc.... just my hunch

No I didn't want to risk it.

I had to re-install Angry Birds once, after that it has worked on all other free apps downloaded from them.

The amazon app store allows developers to "turn on" drm, which basically means that applications will not work if you do not have the amazon app store installed and have a working internet connection. In regards to that, I like the free apps they give out every day, but I dont think I would want to buy any from their store due to those reasons. They also have a no refund policy

Just downloaded free Fruit Ninja app and it works fine.

Actually I DID have fast boot on. Dunno why. I must have tried it to see of it worked or something but I have it off now and I did a reboot and am still getting the error. But only seems like its shazam that's the issue. I am running the Perfect Storm ROM so I'm not sure if its something in there that's causing it.

I'm having a similar issue.
I've been using the Amazon appstore for a while now and have had no problems. Installed CM 6.1.3 v054 onto my x10i and Weatherbug Elite and Vignette (which I actually paid for!) both don't work on the custom ROM.
I've tried wiping the data and uninstalling them and the appstore and reinstalling from scratch and it still no worky.
It seems certain apps have the DRM built into them. Is there any way a dev could mod his ROM to include DRM capability? Why wouldn't it have it already?

Part of the "features" of the amazon app store is the ability to allow developers to automatically inject drm into their applications if they choose. Easiest way to tell if your apps have it without further debugging would be to uninstall the amazon app store and see if they still run.

Everything working great so far...

Angry Bords, Weather Bug it's constanly happening too. Got rid of it, and just downloaded it via the market. The programs are definently lookign for the amazon app..

I'm currently having trouble installing the Google Play Store over the old Market app. I've downloaded 3.4.6 and 3.4.7 as .apks and still nothing works. How do I delete the old Android Market? I can't find it in system/app thanks!

check /data/app/
if its in there then you might want to move it to /system/app/

Dont use any apks you have downloaded.
Try this:
Delete the apk you have installed (uninstall updates)
Clear data
Connect to wifi
Go into market
Press home, let the wifi be on
Wait ca. 5 minutes
Go into market again. If promoted accept google play
If the old market comes up, press home and let the wifi be on
Wait another 5 minutes
Go into market again and accept the terms.
Let me know if it helped

Thanks for the help. However, my default Market (v3.4.4) doesn't have any updates. The only options I can select are "Force Stop" and "Disable". Also, I've left WiFi on and nothing is prompting me to update to Google Play.
There is one wierd issue though. After force closing the Market app to see if it would update, it didn't update to Google Play but when I launched the Market app it asked me to accept the new Google Play terms and conditions. (I am still on the old Market app though.)

Hmm, thats reakly wierd. If nithing helps, try a clean update of your phone

Camera suddenly missing

Hey guys, i have a problem. 2 days ago my camera suddenly dissappeart out of my app drawer. Its still listed under all apps and active apps in the settings but anywhere else its gone.
In the morning i took a photo and in the evening it was gone. Funny to me is that when I open whatsapp and want to take a photo it shows me the front cam but no back cam. I even installed other camera apps such as camera360 and so on. Only frontcam is working. There isnt even a FC or such, its just gone.
I am running stock (it was rooted but i flashed the full stock img trying to fix it)
If the question comes up, i did not delete or deactivate it nor was an update installed. I even tried other roms but no cam. Factory Reset etc nothing seems to work.
Rom full stock 5.0.1.
Yesterday i called LG support as I didnt buy it from Google directly but the guy on the phone was no big help, he was more confused than I am right now.
In conclusion its like someone took my phone appart and while reassemble he forgot to put in the cam ---just for clarification, this didnt happen!!!
Has anyone a tip or suggestion what I can do?

What happens if you try to download Google camera from the play store?

Nothing, in Playstore it shows installed so in the Apps. But in the drawer its still missing and in whatsapp only frontcam is available

Why would you rma it when you can flash the factory image and get it back as a worst case.

If you would have read the opening post you should know i flashed the stock img, tried 5 different roms...nothing.
BUT, i have a little update. theres a 4k camera here on xda LCamera is the name, this one is working. At least its now.

are you currently on lollipop?

yes, Stock 5.0.1 (Latest)
As mentioned before the LCamera is working but no other Cam app

Have you enabled nu player in developer options?

yes, ̶ ̶̶b̶̶u̶̶t̶ i disabled it..̶ ̶̶d̶̶i̶̶d̶̶ ̶̶a̶̶ ̶̶r̶̶e̶̶s̶̶t̶̶a̶̶r̶̶t̶̶ ̶̶o̶̶f̶̶ ̶̶t̶̶h̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶p̶̶h̶̶o̶̶n̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶a̶̶n̶̶d̶̶ ̶̶s̶̶t̶̶i̶̶l̶̶l̶̶ ̶̶i̶̶t̶̶s̶̶ ̶̶m̶̶i̶̶s̶̶s̶̶i̶̶n̶̶g̶
Thank you its working now. seems the NU-Player was the problem. But i did not change anything before it was gone...

Lol. Good good! I had never enabled it myself but remember people writing about it when the dev preview was released! Glad all is working again then! Your phone isn't broken. Lol

Still it seems funny that the NU Player has something to do with the camera.

Yup. Lol. Who knows why. It's been a bug since the preview which Google seem to not care about

Well...Phone was to LG RMA, almost every little thing was repaired (new case, new display, new speaker and vibration) but cam is still or better again missing.
It worked for the first two days after the. RMA but then it went missing again.
The RMA document states that it was repaired or better the flex cable of the cam was repaired.
Any ideas?

That's AMAZING can't wait to get home lol

Got it mine, you can see a lot more apps now, still very few useful ones but lots of games. I even spotted ES File Explorer which I know some people have said they had a issue installing after a recent update.

Tested it a bit yesterday, very very nice improvement IMO. I could be wrong but I think it's still missing a few compatible apps..
It's getting somewhere at least, we might see more over the next couple of days

can this be installed on cm12.1 with gapps-lpmr1-x86-leanback-20150524-signed.zip or is it only for factory os?

I posted a comment about this in the official CM 12.1 thread. You can install the APK without doing anything special on CM 12.1 from within the OS. There is no need to boot into recovery to flash this.

I installed the apk and now the Play Store won't load anything. Just spinning. Anyone else have this issue? On a side note anyone know how to rollback to the previous version?

Goto your app settings and clear the cache and data. See if that helps

I'm having the same problem, but I didn't side-load. I just got the player today and in the apps it shows this version, but the store won't load. I factory reset it about a half hour before this post
edit: factory reset and letting it sit fixed it. Must have been queued to update the app and was just waiting until it was installed. Took like an hour of sitting overall.

Finally....
This update was long overdue. Google should have done this when the Nexus Player was released.
