Okay so I've tried Googling this and posting this question in another thread but couldn't find/get an answer, so I thought I'd try to get help here. Awhile ago I installed either a 4.2 or 4.1 ROM (I can't remember), but whichever one it was, the market would show apps that weren't compatible with my 4.0 ROM. Such as GTA Vice City, The Sims 3, NBA 2K, etc. I then flashed back to a 4.0 ROM later on and those apps disappeared again. Now that I'm back on a 4.2 ROM, its not showing those apps. I was wondering what I can do to get those apps to show up again so I'm not forced to get the APK off the web. I know they're compatible with my phone because I've played those games before and they ran perfectly. Can anyone help?

HY, you can try wipe google play cache ,and restart the apk ,it might work,but if it doesnt try download google play on the web .PLEASE PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED!!!!!!
Are you sure that is the same 4.2 rom you use before? Maybe the app has been removed from the market temporarily. Use the Web play store to verify this. Good luck!

Its not the same 4.2 ROM that I had before and the apps haven't been removed at all. This ROM uses vending.apk instead of phomesky.apk and maybe that's why? Not sure. Thanks for your suggestions though.
Hi All,
I'm running 4.3.1 Beanstalk rom.
I been trying to download BBM messenger off the play store but says its incompatible. I'm wondering if it's the rom that's making it so. I don't wanna wipe phone and go back to default rom just for this app.
If anyone knows a work around please help.
much appreciated.
Fine for me running Dirty Unicorns. Have you changed DPI?

Didn't work for me on CM10.2, on the support site it says it doesn't support custom ROM's, not sure how it worked on DU. I side loaded it and it works fine.

I found a copy of the apk file in the wild, enabled 'install from unknown sources' in the settings (under Security I think?, it's been awhile), and then use a file manager to open the BBM apk from your downloads folder, and then install it. Basically you are bypassing the Play Store, and trusting that the apk you got hasn't been messed with. It's a bit of a leap of faith, and if you download a hacked version that steals all your data, not my fault, so don't cry if it happens.

Thanks for the reply.
I got an older version I believe. I think the play store one is v 2.0 something and the one I got is 1.10 but its working fine. Just added bunch of frnds. Chat with one of them and seem legit.
Those version numbers don't jive with what I know. The version I have is 1.0.0.70, latest play store is 1.0.0.72

You can't (well, you can download it, but it won't work), it only supports Android 4.0 and up. Any reason why you haven't upgraded?

Is Kies up to date? If so, check your cable or USB port on your phone (among other things).

Mate DO NOT WORRY!! It's something common that happens to people on Custom ROM... It happened to me when I was in BeanStalk!! What I did was:
1) Download Aptoide
2) Download BBM from Aptoide
And it worked! Trust me. You don't have to uninstall any update from the store or anything like that. Just follow my steps.
when i use the stock music app of samsung after 10 min it stop working and i cant do anything until it reboot..
someone else have the same issue?
not here.. are you rooted and did you uninstall/freeze anything?

That is very atypical behavior. If you haven't done anything to it or messed with the system you might need to wipe it/reset it. That should fix it.
I rooted it..but everything is OK except when I enter that app..

This a a downloaded game Brothers In Arms 2 I got it from androidmob.org because 1 IT IS FREE ANYWAY here is proof:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftB2HM and 2 becuase I cant get it on the App Store for my device but I am getting a incompatible device error any fix for it?
Hey, your device being incompatible with the game was the reason you couldn't download it from Play in the first place. From what I know, most of the times it's either about the device's screen resolution or Android version. What device do you have and which version of Android does it run? BiA requires 2.3, so if your version is older, updating should help.
Oh, and btw. whenever you need a free app you can't download from Play for whatever reason, try googling "download apk google play" and use some online apk downloader - this way you're sure you're downloading the latest, legit version of the app.

Oh, so it really should work, right. Try using one of the direct Play apk downloaders, like I and joanthanmajh said, maybe that'll do.

No it did not work I was reading something about changing the device name in a config file or some crap like that how risky is that do you know. And is there something like a device emulator for android to trick the game into thinking it is on a compatible system?

if its a gpu problem you can try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-gltools-1-29-t2828630
error
is this really works?Because incompatibility is major problem in many low config devices.
You can try market helper where you can change your device and trick play store to download from any country
As well as no compatibility issues

Anyone know the out come to said problem on "Not compatible" issuse? I have had same issuse for couple different apps. Can the issuse be with the firmware running on device?

ROOTED
Build: asop_grouper_userdebug 7.1.2
NVIDIA TEGRA 3 T30L 1.3Ghz
Hope infromation about device make and model plus what its running helps....
Thanks in advance for any/all help.
P.S. I know this is a ancent thread, but rather not muck up forum with a new thread.
Sorry if i wrong the place to post my topic, and for my english i am italian and at the school we study how to say Cat and not the important things.
I recently installed on my S4, the last version of CyanogenMod 12 jfltexx Nightly, now i want install the Galaxy apps. I download Galaxy apps Zip. from Xda and now i want know if this zip works on android 5.0.2 CyanogenMod 12.
Thanks for read.
Just try it if you have already downloaded . It won't brick your device atleast I think so you can also extract that zip file and install just apk.
Your english is ok
You can try, but I'm afraid that will not work: Galaxy apps, such as S Voice or Camera, work only with TouchWiz based ROMs. So they will not work on CM.

Ok thanks. For me S Voice doesn't matter but for camera I'm very sorry.
Then all apps like WatchOn, Sky Go, Gear Manager and similar apps work?
It was just an example, I mean ALL Samsung stock apps, so also WatchOn, Gear Manager, Camera, Browser, and so on. I don't know anything about SkyGo, sorry
