Dear @Querty@, I already did it, I found the way...
As you see in the main post, I use cm, and that means my android is updated, but not information for Google play store...

Sorry for the hurried response.
There are a handful of reasons why app is incompatible.
1) android version - some apps are not compatible with android versions .updating your android version will work .
2)hardware -let's say that I want to shoot a 360 panorama. But my device has no gyromerter ,so I may get incompatible or they may let me download but the app won't work perfectly.
3)geo restrictions- some apps cannot be installed in some country or the app hasn't been released yet for that country. Enabling proxy and changing your location may or may not work.
Now for by " already did it " you mean you already installed then good for you.
But keep in mind that cm11=KitKat that is android4.4.x
Using cm11 don't mean that your device is updated there is still cm12/12.1(lollipop) cm13(marshmallow).
If you want more help cite the app you want installed and I'll go over the device requirement.
PS:if the problem is geo restrictions ,then using apps like tunnelbear,market helper and searching for the app in chrome store may help

[REQ] Multi-User Login as on Android 4.2

does anyone know of ANY apps or mods that enable multiple user login on the Note 10.1 similar to the nexus 10 where you have your own profiles on the lock screen for multiple users?
so far, I have only found ONE app that does this but havent tried it yet: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEwMiwiZmFocmJvdC5hcHBzLnN3aXRjaG1lLmtleSJd
any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated!
Multi user login in Android 4.2 is embedded into the system at a very low level. Such a thing is very hard, almost impossible to port, especially without the source code of the ROM you want to port it to.

Yes in the app itself it can unroot, and you can download also your stock rom for your country from samfirmware as a backup

I've tested both ways now and in principle both go, but there are advantages and disadvantages of each. I would like to tell about the most important:
1. SwitchMe App:
i rooted the device with the above method.
then installed the switchme app and granted superuser access.
advantage:
Every user has a completely separate account on the tablet.
disadvantage:
with every switch between the users the tablet has to reboot.
2. terminal app:
also rooting with the above method.
create a new user with pm create-user Katja (my wife)...
advantage:
switching between the users is possible in the on / off menu and dont require a reboot
disadvantage:
same apps and save games in the apps
notification does not reset after switching the user. (this is very annoying)
After all i decided to not switching right now. and if i will do, i will use the SwitchME app.
maybe there will be a update to version 4.2 in near future. This will be genius with this fabulous tablet.
I hope i can help some of the users here.

thanks! ur right the app works fine but the reboot thing is annoying. I can't seem to figure out how to put the profiles on the lock screen so I can switch accounts without going into the app...anyone know how?

Market Helper for Galaxy S4 ?

I'm trying to download a free app called "SkyMotion", but because of country restrictions I can't.
So I tried Market Helper, but I can only select the S3 for the simulated device.
But, the app isn't S3 compatible, only S4. So I'm still unable to download it.
Is there a work around to add the S4 to Market Helper's equipment list ?
Or any other way to download apps from a "restricted" country ?
I've tried VPN software on my phone, but that didn't help.
Thank you.
Just get the modded playstore, save yourself the hassle.

[Q] Country-restricted Play Store app updates

I had to sideload a Korean music app (Melon / 멜론) because it's not downloadable outside Korea, per it's link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iloen.melon&hl=en
Anyway, I read that if you sideload an app that is on the Play Store with it's correct app name, it will automatically attach to your account. However, I do not find this to be the case, as I have had it for some weeks now and there is a newer version out but I don't see it on My Apps in Play Store, and if I access it's direct page through the app with that link, there is a giant black bar that basically says "F U BUDDY, NO DICE" covering where the "update / uninstall" buttons normally are.
My question is - has it just not attached because it's not allowed in the USA? Or... if I buy Titanium Backup Pro and try to attach it that way, will the updates start working (since I already have the app installed) ?
I'm just curious because I already have an account with Melon and can technically use the app but would prefer not to have to keep sideloading updates.
I tried using some VPN application to connect through Japan (I know this is not the same as Korea ) after stopping Play Store and wiping it's data and cache, and turning off mobile data (wiped everything while in Airplane mode) but that didn't make a difference.
Thanks in advance!
I decided to buy Titanium Backup Pro and try force-attaching it. Still doesn't show up in Play Store and if I get it's link open externally still has the black bar over the area where update / open / uninstall should be

Hi, this should be an easy problem to sort out but first I'll need to know which gapps package you used, that is the zip file you flashed after the ROM. Also which ROM you're using would be helpful too. Could you please state exactly what's broken here? You mean that you can't sync I assume. If you tell me this then I'll be able to help
@dusanesp the solution appears to be to force close freedom, however if you require further assistance you should post in the Q&A forum as there are many more users and RCs there to help. Good luck

How to bypass error "This device is not compatible with your device" fix

This a a downloaded game Brothers In Arms 2 I got it from androidmob.org because 1 IT IS FREE ANYWAY here is proof:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftB2HM and 2 becuase I cant get it on the App Store for my device but I am getting a incompatible device error any fix for it?
Hey, your device being incompatible with the game was the reason you couldn't download it from Play in the first place. From what I know, most of the times it's either about the device's screen resolution or Android version. What device do you have and which version of Android does it run? BiA requires 2.3, so if your version is older, updating should help.
Oh, and btw. whenever you need a free app you can't download from Play for whatever reason, try googling "download apk google play" and use some online apk downloader - this way you're sure you're downloading the latest, legit version of the app.

No it did not work I was reading something about changing the device name in a config file or some crap like that how risky is that do you know. And is there something like a device emulator for android to trick the game into thinking it is on a compatible system?

is this really works?Because incompatibility is major problem in many low config devices.
You can try market helper where you can change your device and trick play store to download from any country
As well as no compatibility issues
