So i have the question, if anyone can help me to Install the Play Store so it will work?
(i am very sorry for my bad english :s And i hope you understood me)

Gameloft Games ~

I updated my OS version from 2.2.2 v10d to 2.3.5 v21e (april-10-2012)
and no data wiped after updating (i used LG's B2C for updating) and the problem is the games that was installed which is LetsGolf 2, Nova & Asphalt 6..
the SD Data is still there in INTERNAL but it is still asking for more files ..
any person who experience this after updating their respective phones?
any solution?
thanks in advance!

what do you mean by more files?
It's asking to download the game data again? If yes, just let it, they'll probably work again, at least they have in my O3D...

Every time I changed my ROM, my purchased and downloaded games from Gameloft started claiming they were illegal. Usually I would download them again from my account. But now, for some reason, my purchase history was erased from their site. Now, if I want to download again, I have to write them and inform my payment receipt along with all the other information they ask so they would send me a link to the game. This link works only once.

yes.. asking to download data again.. i know there's no problem with it.. but the problem is i dont have any wifi in our house and if i will use 3g to download a 400+mb files i dont know how long will it last )
@cassianog
its not a paid app .. those are the games that was pre-installed in our O3D..
Nova.. LetsGolf & Asphalt6 in 3D..

There are zip files you flash with cwm all over the forum search and you should find them

Ok, now I get it. But every time I changed ROMs, the same happened to me. Even when using official flashing tool, some games ask to download files again. Perhaps some portions of them are custom made for specific ROM versions, either for compatibility reasons or commercial reasons. For example, the game GT Racing Free is incompatible with Optimus 3D while the paid GT Racing 3D version is available. There just can't be a compatibility problem here.
By the way, after I changed the model of my phone (from 920H to 920 and back to 920H), my purchase history was wiped from their site. I don't know if this is the reason or a coincidence.

BACKUP
If you want to install a new ROM all apps
will be lost so you'll need to backup them

1. Download the free app Titanium Backup
from the PlayStore.
2. Open the app and give it SU-rights.

[Q] Getting all market apps to show up. Help please.

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.

Few question for which i need answers

Hello @all
I have a few questions, please reply
Q1. I installed various apps and then changed my ROM. After installing the new ROM i used some of the apps previously installed and backed up and discarded rest of the apps. Now when i login to play store it shows all the apps as installed which i previously installed even those apps which i dont even currently have. So how to correct the status at play store site?
I want play store to show only those apps which i have currently installed, I keep my google sync on generally.
Q2. Request users to share their experience for this. Which is the best music player app.
I use viper so sound is not a problem, I need interface, attractive, ease to use and most important this it should be Beautiful.
Q3. I am using a custom ROM, its beautiful, efficient and upto the mark, i don't want to change it but the ROM have one problem. If i install any app in SD card then after the reboot the app disappears. I searched a little and found that many have faced the problem but couldn't get a proper solution. So if Any one has any information about this please share.
@SuperDroid-BOND bro can you help with the Q3. I am using your ROM.
Please Share you experience and knowledge to make other more aware.

First,
This should be a cache issue, which may get restored when you restoring apps.
Clear everything of play services and play store from setting/apps would be fine I guess..
Best player is poweramp, it have inbuilt equaliser which enhance audio automatically and you also get options to edit equaliser also.
Maven player is also very awesome.. Very beautiful
You can get both cracked on poweramp.
I never install any app to SD coz we have a huge more than 1 gb for apo installing.
So you can ignore that by not installing apps to sd.

1). Backup all apps again.. And reboot ur phone itno recovery and from there wipe data and cache.
2). Poweramp is the best.. Im also using it right now.
3). No need to install in the sd card.. There is lot of space in A110. And if not then i think wiping data may solve this issue too.

Bro.. i just want to answer your Q1 because other 2 questions have been answered rightly by @jaunty bro :good:
for every ROM you flash it has different name.. so google treats it as a different device.
as you know one account can be used by multiple devices so the device with the current name is added to your devices list which means the apps that you installed on your previous ROM (previous device for google) is still installed on that device (google assumes)
so with this we can guess that unless you go back to that ROM and uninstall the apps it'll mark 'em as 'installed'
you can check your devices by using google play on PC.. :good:

[Q] Real Racing 3

Are you able to install games like Real Racing 3 or Asphalt 8 from Play store? It is saying the app is incompatible with your device / HTC One mini.
Anyone know why is it so?
Are the games working on your phones?

The same here. What could be it? Hardware or Android 4.2.2?
Gesendet von meinem HTC One mini mit Tapatalk

If you didn't get your update to 4.3 & Sense 5.5 yet, there is nothing you can do on stock software. There's something wrong with compatibility on 4.2.2 version of android for our Mini.
After update, games like GTA 3, GTA Vice City, Real Racing 3 and many others became compatible in my case.
Wait for OTA and it'll be fine then

Thanks for the redeeming Answer . No I still have no update of Android 4.3 (Telekom, Germany). They say it comes in a few days.

Quite strange. These games were also uncompatible on my mini but on 4.2.2.
After update to 4.3 almost all of the games are visible in play store.
Games I checked:
- GTA 3
- GTA Vice City
- N.O.V.A 3/4
- Real Racing 2/3
- GT Racing 2
- Asphalt 7/8
- NFS Most Wanted
- Assasins Creed Pirates
- Modern Combat 4
- Max payne
- Fast&Furious 6
I've installed 3 of them:

Is your phone fully stock/unrooted? I'm running a rooted stock rom of the 4.3 / sense 5.5 update and the play store won't let me install those games. I'm not sure if being rooted has anything to do with it though, and was just wondering if its only the official ota(unrooted) roms that work

Im on stock Vodafone branded Rom - no root. I recently updated it to 4.3 and I was actually surprised about games compatibility.
Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk

Hmmm. It seems like it'll only work on the stock. For me, the at&t version has everything except for gta sa that I know that isn't compatible. But I use the [email protected] apps, so I don't really care about that.

aww man. Is there any known fix to make the play store know that the games are compatible? I couldn't find anything in search bar.

FYI, incompatible or missing apps are most likely due to DPI config being collected by the store and then filtering is applied....
There is indeed a fix for this, generally for ROOTED devices (see below), but there are/were apps that can change DPI on your device (haven't checked recently, but I used one a couple of years ago and it worked, called LCD density modder I think....)
This thread has flashable zips for modded store apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839871
This thread has a guide explaining how the store uses DPI config, and how the mod gets around it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580827

Hi, thanks for your help! I've read through the thread but I don't understand what I'm supposed to do. I'm assuming I'm supposed to use the DPI 320 patch but I don't understand how I use it. there are no download links and I can't download the Google Play 4.3.10 at the bottom of the first post. Thanks for any help
Also, I've just found that editing the build.prop file will work if you change the model and brand name. However I've left everything as is and changed the ro.product.model=HTC One Mini to ro.product.model=HTC One, but in device ID it still shows HTC One Mini.
I'm running the stock rooted android 4.3./sense 5.5 odex rom. Thankyou!

Since you're on 4.3, download this modded store, version 4.5.10 http://d-h.st/rYl
Flash from recovery, and you should be good.....
If that doesn't work as expected, try the work-a-round from MyLifeRocks10:
Follow these steps if you have problems like certain apps not showing up in Play Store(e.g. Facebook,Beautiful Widgets) or shows incompatiblity error.
1. Flash the zip file and reboot.
2. In Settings->Apps->All clear data of Play Store and Google Services Framework then reboot.
3. Open Play Store, if it gives error then clear data of Play Store and open Play Store again then hit accept.
4. If ur apps doesn't show up under installed apps in play store after installing this fix then reboot once and u should see it afterwards.
5. If above steps didn't fix ur issues then remove Google account,reboot and re-add ur Google Account.
If the above options don't work - you can use xposed installer and add the "All apps in Play Store" module....
Hit Thanks if I've helped!
Edit: just noticed you're on an odex ROM (do you prefer over deodexed? Odex causes issues with certain mods...) I can't confirm if the modded zip will work on odexed... maybe search the thread.....?

Thank! I had tried that method earlier but it didn't work however I wasn't sure why. I am using an odex rom simply because I saw people recommending it over the dexodex rom. I'm not actually sure what the difference is so I dont have any preference. Thanks for telling me that the odex rom should be avoided if modification are needed!
In the end I managed to change the build.prop successfully. Turns out you have to change ro.product.device=m4 to ro.product.device=m7! It was that simple! I was just changing some things to hopefully get it to work and it did. Hope this helps anyone else who always has my problem. All the apps I wanted now show up in the playstore and I can install them without any problems. This eliminates the need to mod the play store too, and im assuming future play store updates won't affect the build.prop and this method will continue to work.
Thanks to those who helped.
Hit thanks If i also helped

Many thanks the build.prop method worked for me and all my app like GTA are now available. Though asphalt 8 still won't download due to some error code..
I tried many Modded play stores and non worked. This has. Cheers!
