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,
Samsung Galaxy SII user here.
This afternoon I noticed the Google Play icon was missing from my homescreen.
I've searched for it but it isn't in my applications or in the manage applications list.
How do I get it back?
Please help!
Hello mate,
Check out this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1550167 it has a link to the play stores apk file. If the link is down just do a Google search for it.
Hopefully installing it again should sort it
Ok downloaded, thanks.
However I get this on opening
Sorry!
The application Google Play Store
(process com.android.vending) has
stoped unexectedly. Please try
again
Force close
Settings->applications->manage apps->play store-> clear data
seems to have done the trick

Download the Latest Gapps for ICS and flash / Install it with CWM and you will get Play store there and if you have market it will be updated to Play store automatically when you will be connected to internet.
Hi, I've installed the custom ROM Reaper and I'm very grateful to his author lowled (thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433816). I post here because I don't have permission to post in this developer thread and because my problem could happen with other custom roms.
The problem is that when I try to install some applications from Google Play it says that my device it's not compatible, when I know that they are very compatible. I think that the application installation of these applications in Google Play doesn't recognize Reaper rom as a SO version allowed. I've done some research with google but I haven't found a trusful solution. I think maybe I should edit a system file but I don't want to make a mesh.
I've been downloading, from several websites, apks from problematic applications when I can find them, but I'm tired of this,
So I'd like you to help me to make Google Play install does applications I know that are compatible with my reaper ROM. Thanks in advance
I had been using CM7.2 stable which is GB 2.3.7 as well and there were a couple of times google play said certain apps were not compatible with my device when I knew that they had no problem running on DS.
one of those was Angry Birds Star Wars and I even wrote to Rovio. and their reply was along the line of : it was due to the size of the installation file and the cache space available on the device.
I later upgraded to JB and had no problem installing all these apps in google play that once gave me headache.
u could use market unlocker
Thanks

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.

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.
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:
