[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.

The new leaked honeycomb music app

Don't know if any have tried it, but it works on cm7. You can't search for other artists (apparently, when google found out about the leak, they shut down the servers..(for both down load and streaming).
But the app by itself is nifty enough to make me want to use it instead if the native music app. It has a nice iphone-like flow-search (or whatever that's called).
Check out my screen shots below. I dont have much music on my phone now (so no cracks about the sound of music track I have in there), but you can get an ideas of what it looks like.
I would upload it for you guys, but I don't know where it is on my phone. I installed it, and then opened it immediately. When I tried looking around on the SDcard, I couldn't find it anywhere.
But just search here in xda under "honeycomb music app leaked" or similar.
Edit : I don't think it works in Froyo.
Edit: anyone know why these screen shots are blurry? they look fine in my gallery....??? [when I try to upload them to this thread, tapatalk takes over--(which I presume is the xda app), so I think something is getting screwed up st that point.. And I am not near a working computer at the moment

This I'd supposed to be a new update for it
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

Then how come its not used in any roms? Or at least more frequently used. I have been playing with it for 2 days, and it is a fast nicer music app them the old one.
How long ago was this originally leaked? From everything I have read (which could be wrong I guess), this music app is for honeycomb and is going to be part of google's anticipated entry into music to compete with the iPhone/iPod. It can't be that old.

[Q] Apps have dedicated "options" bar at bottom of screen?

So the X has back, home, and recents capacitive buttons but not the "options" button.
Most apps create an options bar at the bottom of the screen. Is this something that can be disabled?

From the looks of it, some apps haven't updated to the new holo design scheme. Some apps need to make use of the action bar a little better. Look at gmail and google maps for reference. If you don't like it there's a possibility to remap the menu key to long pressing the home key (it's been done on the international one x).

I personally hate it! It takes up too much real estate

We need to get a ROM ASAP that remaps the menu button to long-press multitasking or something and then get rid of the onscreen button!
Now if only we could get a bootloader unlock/root...

Yea, It's totally crazy. I can't even use ADW launcher.

Hmmm...
Here's Google reader with a menu button on the upper right where it should be, and another one on the bottom of the screen.
Ignore the apple folder!

Yea, I noticed the double options as well.
It just doesn't make sense.

App developers just haven't taken the time to optimize the apps yet, just a month ago ICS was a huge minority, and it still is, but with more and more phones being released with ics, we'll see optimized apps, and the weird soft key will go away.
The long press home idea is great, btw.

Why theres a Panda on my Desktop? ^_^

I dont know why, but for some reason when I swipe between screens on my desktop, it appears a Panda on the bottom left corner as shown in the screenshot (also the ears on the top left corner). It is actually the Triple Town Icon, but if I remove the app from the desktop, it keeps showing up.
It also appears a white "shinning", but once I restart the device, it all disappears and goes back to normal. Is not annoying at all, just curious. Any idea why this could happen?

What launcher are you running?
Are you using any apps that could be from less-than-legitimate sources or developers?

He didn't do anything wrong. Let him chill.

Obviously your are running a theme, as evident by the white shiny background to your launcher shots. I notice an aftermarket app drawer button.
Go back to stock everything and I bet it's gone.

Stock launcher. All apps should be legit, maybe Nexus 4 camera app is provoking it... :/

The shiny background is part of the "bug" and I manually changed the app drawer button within "framework-res.apk" :good:
Now the panda is gone, its strange. As I said, its not annoying at all, just "funny stuff".

As AlexDeGruven said non legitimate apps do tend install junk to, same as a PC.
I'm sure since your rooted, it installed it with out you knowing. (when you installed the panda app)

That's a sneaky panda you got there. What I usually do is spread out some bamboos on my home screen and wait for him to come out. Then I catch him with my finger and throw him in the garbage can. If he comes back rinse and repeat, If you run out of bamboos your screwed.

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.
