Hi, i'm on stock jb and i tyred to edit build.prop to show tf300t as nexus 7 but after reboot my device is always tf300t. In build.prop there are no traces of tf300t. There are some hidden file that show my tablet as tf300t?
I'm honestly not sure but I'm curious why you would want to do this?

play store uses my gmail account to register different devices. I delete account in gmail, reboot, establish account in gmail, go to play store and my unit has changed.

Since upgradung to the leaked ics, I noticed hbo go is not in the google play store. I went to the hbogo website and clicked the link to download it in the google store. It pulls up but says its incompatible with my device. Is there an alternate way I can download this

Don't you have to modify something else in order to get that to work? I thought I read something about a build.prop file or something..

That would be good to know , since installing the ICS leak I've been having a lot of issues installing apps such as Groupon,Living Social , Yahoo Mail that would all show as incompatible with device

Groupon and Living Social both work on mine, although I'm using the Stock Revamped ROM. As far as Groupon goes, did you do a backup and then restore in Titanium Backup? If you do that Groupon doesn't launch. If you delete it and then redownload it via Google Play it should work fine.

I'm using Mod1411's NexusMod ICS with LCD Density set to 200. I thought it was the LCD Density at first but it wouldn't work even if I set it back to 240. I searched for Groupon first on Google Play but couldn't find it. Going to the direct Google Play link it will show me as incompatible
Even after setting density back, you have to clear google play data and may have to go to recovery and wipe caches and reboot.
Can anyone speak to the HBO (No) Go app issue? Has anyone been able to get this running on their phone? I'd like to get that back up and running.
Well my i heart radio app was working fine until they released 4.2.1 version for it, now I get that my device is not supported.
Update, found the app on the Amazon app store and it installed and works fine.
to the OP, try that.

I'm using the stock leak (UCLD2) and I don't have any issues searching for groupon on the phone in the market.

Good , hopefully when MOD1411 get a chance to put out the new ROM it would work fine.
Just loaded the new AOKP and had a few issues with app incompatibility, couldn't get SwiftKey and others to install... I tried all the usual suspects - LCD Density, reboot, clear store data, but two tips I haven't seen anywhere else that both worked for me:
- Manage Apps, Google Play Store, 'Uninstall Updates'
- Install from browser instead of Play Store on device
Hope this helps someone!
What is the best way to get applications for the Tab Plus? The one thing that continues to be a thorn in my side is the limited selection of apps for this tablet. I'll see an application recommended or advertised, and hit Google Play and nothing, I'll check on my PC and see the app isn't available for my device.
I also have this problem with magazines on Amazon. The magazine works on the Fire but not the Tab Plus?
This is clearly a major problem for Android. Couldn't the apps just have an "intended for 7 inch screens" label or "intended for honeycomb"? If it works great, if not get your refund.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using XDA Premium HD app
I have had that problem on some apps but when I installed it "in another way", it works perfectly. The "way" though is kind of illegal for some apps, but not for free ones.
Last version of Ustream app don't work, always show server error when try to watch a video.
Also last stumpleupon app is kind of buggy.
Wat abt apps if we install as apk. Does tat work for backward compatible appa??

Could please give more information about changing build.prop? I wanted to buy Order and Chaos but it is not supported in Google Play. If i change build.prop can safely buy it and not lose anything if i change build.prop back?

ok you must root your tablet if havent so; look for the details of tablet that has similar properties as the tab+ such as the tab 7.7 or the galaxy s2; and change the following (if using the 7.7)
ro.product.model=GT-P6800
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=GT-P6800
ro.product.device=GT-P6800
btw order& chaos game shows as purchasable.... not sure what would happen if you switch back i haven't; don't see the need.

Thanks, i dealt with this problem easier. Went to gameloft site and bought O&C there (is it cheaper to buy it there anyway) and just chose P6800 as my device. Installed the game, runs without problems. Just in case anyone wants to buy O&C.
Hello,
I had some compatibility issues with my tablet and Google Play not showing a lot of games, so i have decided to do the most common fix - changing build.prop to spoof other device. I have changed it to Nexus 7, rebooted, and cleaned cache/data of google play.
Point is, the google play is still showing me the same exact apps as before, and all the apps that were incompatible are still incompatible.
Any idea what should i do? Thanks in advance.

Have u changed your DPI?

No i havent, since Nexus 7 have default density 160 dpi, and mine tablet also had 160 dpi.
I have changed only Model and brand, since guides said that is enough. Also, the device truly is identified as Nexus 7 (when connected by usb, in antutu,...)
I bought a breathalyzer that requires an app to use. The app requires android 4.3, so I rooted my Photon Q 4G and installed cm-10.2.1-xt897. However, the google play store still thinks my device is incompatible, even after messing around with Market Helper. I even tried playing around with build.prop manually, which was almost a disaster when it broke my keyboard and I had no way of typing back in the settings I had changed. I changed ro.product.model, ro.product.brand, and ro.product.manufacturer to imitate a Galaxy S3 and S4, neither worked. Anyway, I'd like to try side loading the app on my device to see if it works because I'm pretty sure the google play store is just being stubborn (I've seen other installation issues reported by people with non-rooted phones for this app). Could someone with a compatible phone (stock Android 4.3+) please download this app and send me the .apk file? I'm not asking anyone to steal since it's a free app anyway. Alternatively, could someone explain which settings I should be changing in build.prop to fool the google play store (preferably without breaking my phone)?

Here you go the apk is attached
Editing build.prop to look like other phones is not a good idea.
And to unlock the play store there is an xposed module available. So install xposed and find the module.:good:

I used to play PVZ2 a lot back on 4.4.4 KitKat, and I had noticed that I hadn't seen an update for the game in forever. So I though maybe they removed it? Which wouldn't make sense. So I searched in the Play Store and... Nothing. I then googled the game and I found the Play Store link, and clicked it and it said "device incompatible with this version"...? I installed it before and it played, and it still plays. I'm on 5.0.1 stock Lollipop and I'm wondering if anyone else plays it and is getting updates? I can back door update it, but why does it say it isn't compatible? This is a Nexus device, it should work. Is it Lollipop? Or did they discontinue Lollipop support on the N5? Which would make sense to me...
Anyone play it and know what's going on?

It is compatible with our device. Most likely you altered the DPI of your screen which causes compatibility issues with certain apps, or perhaps some other root level modification.

No... I have a completely stock 5.0.1 Lollipop, no modifications or customizations. The only thing I have is root to get rid of ads and backup my apps.
So it is in your play store?
And I know it IS compatible, well, it was for me anyways, which is why I was asking since I found it really weird.

I can see it in the Play Store and it's listed as compatible with my device. Do you have any other devices registered to your Google account perhaps?

Just my old HTC Inspire 4G which isn't compatible but it worked before on my N5. Hmmm... Maybe I should just delete the game and clear data for PS and look again.
