[Q] Incompatible apps after installing CM10 - HTC Sensation

Hi,
I recently installed CyanogenMod 10 on my HTC Sensation.
Since then, I can't install several useful apps for me from the Google PlayStore, and I get a message "this version is incompatible with your device" (I had the same apps on my phone when I was on a stock Android ICS).
I tried to modify the build.prop file of my phone to make it look like a Samsung nexus S, following a tutorial I found. Then I wiped the playstore cache, rebooted, but no change.
What can I do ?
Thank you for your help !

What apps are you looking at? That gives us a start to figure out what the problem is.
Also, what version of CM10 did you install? Bruce's Kang? The Official Nightly? Bruce's kang of CM10.1?
Did you change the DPI? That often causes the play store error you are talking about.
If all else fails do a full wipe and start over. Something might just be screwy in your install. But this is not a super common problem on CM10. So we can probably isolate what you are doign differently and fix it.

I mostly want to download French apps i used to have on my HTC before i installed CM10 (Société Générale, Qype, Allociné...)
I have Bruce's CM10 version "10-20130103-bruce2728-pyramid"... I don't know if it's the reference you were looking for. I downloaded it on this page : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009
I haven't change any DPI and never heard of something like this. Can you tell me more, if it has a chance to solve the problem ?

It could just be that those apps aren't ready for JB yet... Search for those apps + Jelly Bean in Google and see if there are any results saying anything about whether it's compatible or not, if they're working on updating them so they are, etc...

All the apps i'm refering to were working on my phone when i had a stock Android Jelly Bean.
Only since i installed CM10 they are shown as incompatible...

There is no stock jelly bean for the Sensation. Ice cream sandwich is as far as stock development went.
So you weren't running stock jb.
Changing DPI would have only broken compatibility. If you don't know what it is then you didn't mess with it.
I assume you set up cm10 to run in French. If not maybe that's it?

You're right. I was running a stock Android 4 ICS. My mistake ! And the apps were working with this version.
But a friend has a galaxy s3 with jb, and the apps work on his phone. So they are actually compatible with jelly bean.
I have CM10 in French.

Maybe someone else running Bruce's ROM can try searching these apps in playstore and see if they have a similar problem.
Running a DK version of 4.2.1 they show and would install from the playstore for me...
Have you reflashed the phone and tried this? I'm not sure what Bruce's ROM tags the phone as by default but it would appear either through a change made or the ROM it's not flagging as a compatible device.
I would have suspected DPI (image size) change but we seem to have cleared that as an issue already.

I tested the ones you mentioned on CM 10 official nightly and they install as they should.
HTC Sensation XE

Does anything else install from the play store or is it only the French stuff?
Maybe you had something go screwy during install of either the ROM or the gapps?

Installing Honeycomb Apps on ICS

I guess I am more green than I thought when it comes to this stuff, but I have an OG Asus TF101 with ICS 4.0.3. All my old apps from Honeycomb are there, work fine, but when I try to update or if I uninstall and go to re-install I am told they are incompatible for many, like HBO Go.
Am I missing a setting somewhere that will let me install these? That's for helping me out in advance with my noobery.
Did u try using AppBrain and fast web installer That is what we use when we modify build.props and change density's and the market gives us incompatibility issues so it may work the same when going from HC to ICS
Still tells me that my device is incompatible.
what ics means?
CM 9? yes?

[Q] Scrolling Problem in Jelly Bean

I've been having issues ever since I've updated to Jelly Bean where the scrolling has become very annoying. I'm on Bruce's Jelly Bean ROM and when I scroll quickly (by swiping multiple times in quick succession) sometimes the scrolling will just come to a dead stop all of a sudden, as if the list tripped. I've tried many different CPU settings to no avail, and honestly the phone runs perfectly smooth save for this hiccup. The only instance I can find of this elsewhere is with the galaxy nexus on jelly bean... some users seem to be running into a similar issue, though I'm not sure if it's related. There's been speculation that it has something to do with Jelly Bean predicting touches.
Does anyone have any info on this for me? Any fixes? I've tried all of the developer options... and show screen touches shows me that the phone is registering my motions perfectly. I'm stumped, and it's quite annoying.
Have you tired a full wipe and fresh install? I too am running jelly bean but a different rom. I've not had that issue but sometimes a fresh install helps with little bugs. Just wondering if you tired that yet? Are you sure it's rom related a and not device related? Have you tired running a different rom just to check to make sure the issue isn't related to the device? If issue is still present on a different rom it could be that the problem is related to the device instead of the rom. Do some experiencing and find out if it's the rom or your device. If it's rom related do try the fresh install and see if it helps. Can't hurt to try.. I hope you get your issue resolved soon. Best wishes.

I'm fairly sure it's the ROM. I have restored a nandroid backup to CM9 and it doesn't have the issue. I believe it's something in Jelly Bean, maybe having to do with project butter. Everything runs very well on the phone save for this issue. I'll try wiping this morning. Thanks for the reply!
I'm running paranoid Android which is also jelly bean. I don't have that issue at all. If the clean install does not fix the issue maybe try another jelly bean rom like paranoid Android. It's really been surprisingly stable and I use as daily driver. I've had no issues at all with it. Perhaps give it a try and see what you think. I really like it. It's fast and smooth and it's been really reliable.

[Q] Jellybean OTA for P3113?

Hello all,
I've seen lots of posts about the official jellybean OTA for P3113 and P3110, and even people saying that these roms work on their P3113 (while changing their product info...). Does anyone know if/when the official P3113 rom is coming out? I'm looking forward to flashing that with mobile Odin so I can keep root.

Official jelly bean for p3110 and p3100 is released for some regions and carrier.
So you can expect for everybody soon:thumbup:
What I find more frustrating than anything is that its been a week since the first official was released (in another region) and we (the P3113 owners) are not carrier reliant. Usually its the carrier that holds up the release of an OS, but since we don't have one, and the release from the 3110 works on our devices, why on earth is it taking so long?
It just doesn't make any sense to me.
I just installed the 3110 update that's around. The only deficiency I see is that the Model Number is became GT-P3110. I might not like some of the features but I think an official 4.1.1 for 3113 will be the same.
I am not concerned about warranty issues and that might be the major reason to wait. Also, IMHO, there's nothing worth not waiting for.
Why are you saying this? Is the JB so bad?
Do you have to be rooted to install the 3110 version of Jelly Bean on the 3113?
Im still on stock unrooted ICS..
No, as far as I know there is an Odin flashable, I do not have a link off hand though. If you are rooted, you can use Mobile Odin, and check the Everroot feature. It will keep your root in the next ROM (and if you want it can also re-install itself for you).

I don't think it is bad. I also don't think it is that much better.

I went ahead and flashed via mobile odin. It did the standard upgrade stuff but it was really unstable. My tablet would boot up with a weird visual glitch and then freeze up every couple of minutes. I had to do a factory reset and now everything works. It defaulted to french, but I was able to set it to english on the first screen. Now the only issue is that my device says it is a p3110, but I guess that's not a big deal.

Is there a way to install this in the P3113 without touchwiz..and I dont mean just using another launcher on top of touchwiz?
I know cm10 is out..but I don't think they are using the OTA as a backbone...therefore not having pure project butter, 60fps, triple buffering, etc..

Not that I know of. However touchwiz takes more of a back seat role in this rom and I've even replaced the Samsung keyboard with the stock 4.2 keyboard... and it is awesome. I like this rom the best out of what I've used on this tablet.

So I still get funny vertical multicolored lines on boot, but it doesn't seem to affect anything. I have since flashed the recent UK build on top of the french build that was released first. I don't know why, but it feels snappier.

I think I remember someone saying they did a complete data/cache wipe...then reinstalled.
This seemed to fix the multicolored screen on boot...

Yah, I tried that. I still have the lines on boot. As long as my tablet is fine, I don't really care. I can always go back and flash stock.
I guess it should go away when p3113 official comes out. Right now I'm running p3110 on a p3113.
Thanks.

I keep telling you , but you fail to understand so please do some research about Android OS and firmware . There's no such thing as a pure AOSP ROM and Samsung certainly doesn't make one. Even a Nexus 7 requires device specific libraries and drivers. And removing Touchwiz won''t speed up your tablet.
Every Android ROM, CM10, Samsung, Nexus, etc. uses the Google AOSP API source code as its base, but that does nothing without a device specific Kernel, drivers, libs, etc. Understand?
The so called "Project Butter," is a series of changes incorporated into the Android kernel and API that enhances GUI performance and it is in all JB ROMs.
Here's a little tutorial to help you out.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...roject-butter-how-it-works-and-what-it-added/
These performance enhancements are in all JB ROMs , Samsung didn't leave it out or make it go away with touchwiz. However not all apps will take advantage of it yet. As apps are updated to JB compatibility they will perform better.

[Q] Using system app from stock on AOSP?

Hi, cause I didn't want to wait for an official JB update, I recently installed "SuperXE" AOSP Rom, JB 4.2.1. It's very nice, but i really need an app that can handle office document formats, especially those of MSO. As my phone originally came with "Polaris Office", I'd like to continue using this app -- is this possible?
Just putting the apk from stock HTC ICS in /system/app doesn't do anything. It's possible to install it normally, but then it crashes when I try to launch it. Didn't have the time to check logcat for that so far, but maybe someone can tell me if this ist just impossible to do OR what I'm missing, thanks!

probably it is compatible for sense based roms if i am not wrong
Didn't expect it to require Sense, because it's a "standard" app also available for other phones. But never mind that, just read somewhere else that it isn't compatible with JB at all.
The originally included game "Teeter" won't work on JB AOSP either, but as I don't find this version in the store, I guess missing Sense could be the problem in THIS case, right? It won't even install normally (e.g. clicking on the APK in file explorer). It's a game, so, not important at all -- but it was nice

Can i have inverts on stock jelly bean?

guys i need help, i have stock jelly bean 4.1.1 on my nexus s, and i wanted to have that black bean or inverted messaging, contacts and calendar for my phone, i tried using someone's help and i ended up restoring my phone twice, once i replaced the original one and then used twrp to flash it, but everytime it said messaging has stopped unfortunately need help regarding this please, if someone can help me get a few pointers how to replace my apps with inverted ones, hurts my eyes too since i have weak eyes
PS yes i'm rooted
Why don't you just flash blackbean or some other 4.2.2 rom that supports dark-toggled gapps and system apps? What's hindering you?
