Overscreen Incompatibility - Asus Transformer TF700

Hello all,
I bought a prepaid credit card just so that I could get overskreen from the play store. I tried searching for it in the play store and it did not come up, so i googled it and it showed up, however, much to my demise, i was unable to purchase the app. I got an error "the item you have attempted to purchase could not be found". In the app description the developer stated that jelly bean support is a work in pogress, has anyone else had issues with downloading overskreen, it appears that some xda members were able to install it. I have never gotten this error before, is this a common error or have i disabled one too many apps lol. If anyone has found a way to get overskreen could you point me to where you found it, this app is pretty essential for multitassking and would allow all users of this tablet to be much more productive. I would love to be able to open a pdf and write notes in google drive via overskreen, now that would be bad ass.
Hope my fellows are having a dope holiday season

The browser?
"ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
This item is not compatible with your device."
So it won't show up in the play store on the tablet, and buying it can only be done for a device it supports.

Other members have downloaded it, there is a thread on floating apps and apparently it was installable (not sure if they got it thru the play store), I am thinking it might not be available for anyone on jelly bean, tf700 owners who have the app posted about it before the jelly bean update, I have emailed the developer to see what they have to say, thx for checking it out tho.

It also lists as incompatible for my SGS3, so I suspect they just deleted all JB devices from the list. I've yet to update that to JB, so it's not because it sees the OS version.
Those that are still able to install it do so by sideloading. (download to another device and copy the .apk to the incompatible device).

The author of Overskreen is having issues w/Jelly Bean devices, which is why it's not available on the Play Store for Jelly Bean devices.
However, there is a free alternative called "Floating Browser Flux" in the Play Store that is compatible with Jelly Bean. In my opinion, it's not quite as good as Overskreen, but it does work pretty well...

Cool I was thinking of doing that but I do not have any other android devices, looks like i am going to have to commandeer my sisters phone lol
I have tried floating browser flux and it worked alright, however, typing was really annoying and it wouldnt play youtube videos if I was using another app at the same time.

the overskreen browser works great on my infinity you just have to sideload it just google it and download the apk

I was gonna get the same app I tried it with my ics tab and it worked great, I'll try to side load it here too and see if it works just the same.

Has anyone gotten this app to work on a JB update or JB ROM?

[Q] Help with apps - TF 101 revolution HD 2.1.1

I just installed Revolution on my TF and now when I go the market, non of the apps I have previously bought/downloaded are there and it seems like I have to start over.
I bought a bunch of stuff and none of it seems to be available any more - any thoughts?
Thanks in advance all.
if you bought something and it is not on the market any more your kind of out of luck not sure of the legality of downloading the apk considering you already bought it but you might want to contact the developer of hte app and ask them if they can send you the apk
If you used the same google email then any apps you already bought will be available for download for free assuming they are compatable with the TF. Your purchases are linked to your google email address and not your device

Getting the tablet versions of apps.

This has been my main issue since getting the 7.0 Plus. I'll DL an app from the marketplace that has tablet enhancements and what I'll end up getting on the device is the phone version of the app. Examples are Xfinity, Gigbeat, IMDB, and Google Docs among others. I'm assuming it's the screen resolution on these. But, I dunno. Is there any way to force the tablet version of the app?

Google Docs as far as I know doesn't really have a "Tablet Version" not all apps do. If you search the web market and see 2 different versions, try to install it from there. If not you can contact the developer and ask them to make a tablet specific version. I can state this about Google Docs for sure because I had a Transformer earlier and it used the same version.
Is there a way to spoof and/or change its DPI settings so than an app thinks it's running on a 1200x800 tablet?

No, in theory you might be able to modify the build.prop but in the end the easiest way is to just contact the developer. I did that with Splashtop, and 3 days later they had released an update with the support for the Tab Plus' resolution.
My splashtop works great. I wish EA would get on board with this. I love playing Madden and NFSHP

Splashtop works great locally, not over the internet. Pocketcloud is much more bandwith efficient over RDP.
Is this something that ICS will fix?

Google Play App Updates

Hi
I noticed that i cannot see `Whats New` and App info for Apps that are already installed on Transformer.
I only have options to Uninstall and/or update.
I have Google Play on my Atrix too and all looks/works fine/normal.
If there is update available for app, if i enter that app i can see full description and reviews for the up as well as Update option.
Is there a way to show that on transformer too?
Thank you

Play Store "Error processing purchase"

Hey guys..I never had any problem with installing apps previously. Now i get "Error processing purchase" (even on free apps) every time. I have to keep going to settings/apps/playstore and uninstall updates to get it to work. its extremely annoying. Im running the latest hydro. Any ideas how i can fix this?.
I had this problem too. What worked for me was: I went into settings and under accounts, removed my Google account. Then signed back in (same account) and rebooted. Hope that works for ya.

Still not working. I can't uninstall updates every time I want to browse the store. Do you think this is a problem with the rom or what? Is there a way to block the "updates" from the market app itself that I have to keep removing? Could it have to do with my titanium restore?

I had the same issue, might be rom related im not sure because i created another Google account witch downloaded apps just fine, but when i tried going back to my original Google account it wouldn't let me download some apps it gave me this error. I toyed around with; it downloaded different roms and so on, but then came back to the ROM i was in and the issue had been fixed.
by any chance where you running seanz Hydro-Ponic? try downloading hes latest update.

This. Has the Amazon video app ever run on ANY other version of android except amazon's own?
The reason being is that Amazon made it so that only gingerbread devices could run it. With the new Kindle running ics stock ppl without root should have access to it.
Also video doesn't work if you are rooted. Side note.
