Have any O3D expert meet an problem when downloading an Apps from market?
I just found an Apps which is a analog clock, I cannot download and install it as it said "This device is not compatible with this item" from market website.
When I search it from market using O3D, the apps is not shown in anywhere!
But I use a Acer Liquid (It's smaller screen, same resolution, Android 2.3), it can display either from market or market web-site!
The analog clock apps:
market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.isao.android.smileshooter_clock_widget01&feature=search_result
Please help

Thanks for your reply! May I know which version of O3D you using? I tried 2.3 V21A original FW and many different CFW (acurarom, King, Baxter...) but no help.

I'm using baxter rom from Echts but what I think the real solution is that I have edited the build.prop file with the correct values that LG forgot to include on the v21A update.
You can try to use my patch on this thread and see if that works for you.
Don't mind that the thread is saying that it's for skype. Just try it an let me know.

I modified but no help. I got a hint from that post and flash back to Android 2.2 original FW, it work! The apps from market can be download. Only flash to 2.3 is not compatible.
May I ask a stupid question, your baxter FW is a 2.3(GB)?

Yes it is gingerbread. I had a similar problem and what I did was to reinstall a 2.3 ROM. Then all the apps were working again. I recommend you reinstall a GB ROM after a full wipe and see if that works.

It works! I reinstalled 2.3 ROM. May be the acurarom has some bug. Because after I reinstalled 2.3 ROM and baxter, it still no problem. Once I install acurarom after baxter, many apps cannot find in market and incompatible such as "Smile shooter analog clock", "Maid live wallpaper", etc. Sadly, I just a newbie and have not enough permission to ask in development group
Anyway, thanks for your help~
Its an DPI related issue with new market.
Well I am facing same issue on new Market, it doesn't support dpi other than 240. I have no idea why google put dpi check on the new version of the market.
Anyway if any one want to know how to solve it. First you need to revert your dpi to 240 and restart the phone, and then go to manage Application under phone settings, click on market, and clear data after force closing it. Restart the market and Voila!
Cheers!
Edit: On other note download maket enabler from market if you need to install an app that is not available in your country of the market.

I've solved the dpi problem by deleting "com.android.vending.updater.apk" from the system/app folder and installing one of these themed market apps

I extracted the problem ROM zip file and get the build.prop, it contain this line:"ro.sf.lcd_density=240". I think the dpi should be 240 but still having problem. In another "works" ROM (Baxter), it does not contain this line but it works.

I made a zip file with "com.android.vending-1.apk" which is Market 2.3.4. And delete "com.android.vending-2.apk" and market updater using RootExplorer. Then install the zip from recovery. But finally no help. Some apps still hidden.

I have a branded Galaxy S with no Android market. I've found 3 different Vending.apks, version 1.665, 1.668, 1.713. I tried to install them using adb install. 1.7133 returns "unexpected exception". Other two install successfully but they both crash when click Install an app. When I go back to app page it says Starting download and gets stuck there (Market app is not frozen). Am I missing a step for manually installing market? Do I have to do anything like adb push Vending.apk /system/app/?

I don't know what gapps.apk is. Could you elaborate please?
Do you mean Vending.apk from the gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip of the Cyanogenmod 5?
Btw I'm using:
pad: jvjh1
phone: jxjg2
csc: trcjh2
Did the same vending.apk installation on a HTC legend "Middle East Version" which also came with no Market and no sucess, i do have the same problem..."crashing at installation"
and about gapps, it's not an apk but rather a flashable content that require rooted device and since i don't wanna root this phone i really didn't figure it out so far. so i'm still waiting for a solution.
Ok. The gapps.apk I know of you can find on rom manager. I think you can DL rom manager straight from their website and install using something like astro file manager. Cyanogen can't release a rom with the Google apps for copyright reasons so they offer it as a seperate download. I'm assuming you can find it on the cyanogenmod site. Otherwise try flashing a stock image through rom manager if they have one for the galaxy x. How did it not come with a market?
Hi. I posted a reply for your idea for my problem but got no reply from you, I guess the thread got lost beneath all the other threads. Could you please give me any ideas about this:

the new one DID work but then stopped working where you can not download an APPS or update any apps. I was just able to update 2 apps but then it stopped working again and wont even download. When I was able to revert back to the OLD market, everything worked. There is a BIG forum discussion on the android market forum about this issue and someone else also said going back to the old market solved their issue. SO, I would like to get a flashable version of the old market.... Thanks...
Here is the old market that has the updater script stuff for Clockwork recovery.

Well, I flashed this and now the market doesnt know what is installed on my phone. for instance ENHANCED EMAIL just says PURCHASED but its already installed. It was able to download but it wont install. I did run MARKET DOCTOR but it couldnt fix the market.. any ideas?\
Update: I was able to get the apps to show up my CLEARING CACHE and DATA from MARKET... BUT 99% of the time UPDATES will NOT install .. they will download but not install. once in a while they will. HOWEVER if I uninstall the APP and hen install the update as if it were a new APP install it works.. any ideas??
The is an app in the market that I would like to get but it says it is incompatible with the transformer but I am 99 44/100% sure it will work.
Is there a way to fool the market place? I searched and found answers for other devices but none for the transformer.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi
If you have another android device, like phone, download it to phone, make backup, transfer apk to TF and install. Works for me.
I have downloaded apps directly to my tf and after uninstalling them tried to get them from the market only to be listed as incompatible..think it had something to do with having a custom rom, some of them include older versions of market, some have the option to install the ics market app, while others have options to go back to the hc market app. AS poster before said, you can download on another compatible device and make a backup and just swap the apk over, but if you don't have a backup device many of the apps on the market can be found in the wild as the raw apk file, even some pay apps can be found in the wild, though i don't pirate apps because that is the sure way to kill or own market (who is going to design apps for android if they can be pirated so easily?).
Also, try to get the 'tablet market' app, that seems to have the tablet optimized versions of some apps that are hard to find via market.

Wait I dont get it. After downloading the app from Google Play, where do I find the apk for that app? And do I need a root for this?

O didn't understand you had the apk from the market the first time. Thought you said you first downloaded it from another site then the google market.
Otherwise you need root for you transformer indeed. they are in /data/app folder

After lots of reading through this site and others I successfully rooted and installed CM9 on my Nexus S.
How do I get Google Maps back on my phone? It's my main issue.
After flashing the ROM I immediately flashed the GAPP package. Did something go wrong that prevents me from having Google Maps as well the the Navigator program?
I am ready to try to flash the GAPP package again from Clockwork Mod Recovery.
Can I just use the "Install ROM from SD Card" option in ROM manager to install the GAPP.zip file?
If not I assume I should just boot into recovery and run the GAPP.zip file?
When I installed the ROM I was only able to do so after disabling the signature check as I kept on getting an "e-signature failed" and abortion of the install. Was I correct in moving the check?
Thank you in advance.
..
I have wiped totally clean before the installs and it just seems like Google Maps isn't in the GAPP.zip pack. Everything else is there. Are you suggesting that signature verification would prevent one program like Google Maps from being installed?
I used CWM to install the pack again and same results. Everything there except what I assume are more proprietary apps...Google Maps and the Navigation. I don't know what others Google considers proprietary.
..
Just install it from the market

I downloaded the .zip file you used and still can't seem to find google maps in the .apk files...very strange. As I could have sworn I saw it there earlier.
Does anyone know what is happening or how I can get google maps in working order?! It almost prevented me from scoring a phone number from a good looking spanish woman tonight.
Install it from the market. All the gapps that you can download from the market are not in the zips. Earth,voice,videos, music etc.
If for reason its not in the market on your device use the web version or market enabler.

That will probably not work because of the fingerprint of these alpha builds. It's not in the Market on my phone, for instance.

Which alpha build are you using? Maps should definitely be available in the Market.

If someone could direct me to a working APK that would be great.
You have to understand that I am in China, so market-wise google maps isn't available, neither is skype, neither are alot of the VPN programs etc. Or at least I assume its because I'm in China....also browser wise its pretty damn hard to track things down that aren't blocked. Haven't got around to installing a VPN but it would kick ass to get help to get a free vpn up and running too.
Nonetheless I have definitely installed the GAPP.zip file correctly after a good wipe of everything. I am pretty certain it should work since maps.google.com through the browser seems to locate me and load the map ok.

I hear that Market Enabler is what you need. Should allow you to make the Market think you're in a country or on a carrier that does allow the apps you want.

Google Search versions were updated so most devices are on the same version rather than having different versions of Google Search on different versions of Android.
Find the .apk of an old version and install it.
Other than that, you'll have to use a 3rd party launcher or just deal with a simple change.

You may also need an older version of Google Play Services to use very old versions of Google Search.
You'll have to reflash factory images or reflash your ROM.
I suggest you just accept the change or use a 3rd party launcher, using "uninstall updates" on Google Search hardly ever works correctly.

i uninstall update is just due to i thought like this stupidly:
uninstall update -> means get a old version
Then i cannot back homescreen, and i restart my nexus5 and shout omg LOL
And i have flashed the official ROM before getting ur answer
Btw this is a great experience for me LOL
And actually the correct solution i found out is:
1. Switch off auto update
2. Download the old version apk
3. Uninstall update
4. Install the apk with adb command or with explorer

I also don't know how to make flashable zip, but I figure it out, that you could do a little cheat on that (please, don't blame me). For example: take some zip allready made to flash some ordinary/little mods (you need to be sure that script inside is not written to delete something). Then just copy your files with wright path/directories and remove all you don't need. It works well.
