I was just trying to install Snesoid on my phone. it installs and launches, but when i try playing a rom it just kicks out. im guessing it just not compatible? are there certain programs that work on some phone but just not others?
AFAIK all programs should work
only few games are affected
check out the the INDEX for that topic

Hi people!
I'm not fully set into the whole thing about system images and the emulator. What I'm doing here is running the emulator with a 1.6 system.img to get to the pay apps since it's not available in Sweden. I'm then transferring them to my phone. It's the only way here when the apps aren't available on slideme etc.
Question: I've run into the problem of getting 1.6 specific apps even when 2.1 versions are available from the market due to the 1.6 system being emulated. Is there any hacked system.img for 2.1 yet or any other way of fooling the market that I am using a 2.1 version phone. All I need is to get the 2.1 version down, it doens't have to work on the emulator phone, I just need it to get downloaded from the market.
Hope this isn't considered "warez" here or something, I'm paying for the apps I'm downloading.

Id love to know how to do this as well.
As it seems, it's not possible. At least nobody I've asked has any clue on how to do it.
I'm looking for several apps in the marketplace. I know they exist but they don't show up. I have a Samsung Captivate, rooted and running the lag fix and gps fix. I have run the market access app to emulate several other market places T-mobile, Verizon, Sprint etc.
For example, I cannot find paintshop pro, Logmein Ignition, or Caligo chasers. I have heard that some apps might not be available to rooted phones but to me that doesn't make sense. Excluding apps from the market literally forces you to pirate them because they cannot be legitimately purchased from the market.
Is my phone being excluded because it's rooted or could there be some other problem?
Is there a workaround
It seems that after a bit of research that I can see that google has made rooted phones unable to see protected apps. There must be some workaround for this, I cannot imagine all the rooted android users just not having access to large quantities of great apps.
My rom might be the problem
Upon further investigation it appears that my particular rom, and not the fact that I am rooted, might be to blame. Does anyone know how to hide my rom from the market or if I can access the market in a way that will make the market think I am using a different rom.
no work around?
does anyone have an Idea about how to work around this? I seem ro be missing out on some great apps.
Figured I would post in here instead of starting a new thread since this pertains to my question/issue.
I have a Samsung Vibrant running on SoftBank(Japan) network. I rooted and had initially loaded up Bionix Fusion JACs Kernel(TeamWiskey) ROM and was able to download Angry Birds off of the Market. I then wanted to try out Frankin-Twiz (Eugene373) ROM, after I loaded the ROM I went to the Market to find Angry Birds and it wasnt there. This was the only App that I know for sure that I couldn't get after loading the new ROM.. there might be others, I just cant say what they are.
So it is defiantly a ROM issue. Anyone have any ideas why?
try market enable which is available in the market. but i think u also need to root your phone to use it

Click to expand...

Ended up just getting AppBrain instead of using Googles Market.. seems to have all the same apps with less hassle.
noob question, yea, I know, but I cant seem to find it anywhere!
I was wondering if the 2.x apps in the android market (i know some are the wrong size) can be downloaded to a device running honecomb. For example, can I get the amazon app store on honecomb and download all the apps I buy there?
any help is appreciated, thanks!
first question, do they actually test every app? how many run on devices, any tested on emulators?
do they test root apps? Im sure they have their own rooted test builds.
What about apps like Mobile Odin? I know this is thouroughly tested before submitted anyway, but anyone could say that.
how about a CyanogenMod theme chooser apk? do they first install CM and then test the theme?
just curious is all.
I cant imagine all or very many being actually tested the way they should be.
maybe a developer with some apps on the store can chime in.
Often when I buy or install an app for my phone I see that the same app is not available for my tablet. If it was just few things I wouldn't care, but it seems disproportionately high.
Is my market screwed up or does everyone have that?
If it is everyone, what gives? I can see some games limiting resolution for performance reasons but there are a lot of other apps I see prohibited that don't make sense.
I know, it's highly annoying. Most developers haven't updated their list of compatible devices in months, except to add the S3. It's a simple thing to do, but they just don't care. I have a ton of supposed 'not compatible' apps that run just fine, but can't be installed through the market because they're too lazy to change their list of devices. Morons...
You can sideload most apps and games. (Install on phone and copy the data to your tablet manually. The process is explained on the forum here somewhere.)
They're forcing us to consider alternate methods of acquiring the apps, especially when you don't have a second Android device. (like me..) We don't want to download, but they're not exactly giving us much of a choice... >.<
I noticed that most EA games not available. Sucks because I bought Dead space and Mass effect on phone and they are great games but wanted to play on a big screen.
Also Flipboard I use. I did sideload it and its working quite well.Some problems occur but still very usable.
I don't think it is just the whole updating the compatibility list, with many apps - It's b/c there are things that simply do not work on tablets for whatever reason, and so they ahve not been made to show compatibility for tablets.
I have found at least 15-20 apps from my BIONIC that I cannot install on my tablet, one of them being the Amazon App Store - which sucks b/c I got OpenOffice Pro free through Amazon and now cannot install it on my tablet without sideloading it.
