[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyperyoda:
Hi, this is my first time posting. There are some apps I want to install on my Nexus 7 (mostly games), but when I go to the Google Play site and select one of them it says, "This app is incompatible with your Asus Nexus 7." Is there an easy solution for this? Does Google play to fix this in an upcoming release of Android OS? I am running the stock Jelly Bean. I saw some threads mention you can install the apps from the package file if you can access it on another Android device, but that isn't an option for me. Also I'd prefer a solution that doesn't involve rooting the phone and installing a custom ROM. One thread mentioned doing this so you could change the UI mode, but they didn't say if this fixed the problem with Google Play not letting them install certain apps. If there is no other solution is anyone able to confirm that rooting the phone and changing the UI mode fixed the problem? I've never rooted a device before.

I think its problem with app requesting permission to things that don't exist on nexus.

Example would be in line (camera) the back one.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeebs444:
I, too, am on the same boat.

Just purchased my Nexus 7 a few days ago, non-rooted.

Trying to stock up on apps. So far, everything has been fine and dandy. I figured out to sideload programs (Flash, more specifically), but now I've run into a problem where I'm trying to install the Kijiji Canada App, but it says the Application is incompatible on the Nexus 7. I've searched for an APK for the Kijiji App, to no avail.

Is rooting my only option? I can't see features that the app would need that isn't compatible on my Nexus 7.... as it's just a classified searching program from eBay.

Thanks for your time.

if you have root, change these lines in your build.prop file to this..

ro.product.model=Nexus 7

ro.product.brand=Google

ro.product.name=nakasi
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoolAidJunkie:
Not sure how that would be the reason behind it...

Since Apps that do not access things such as the "inline camera" are being listed as not compatible..

Aside from the Back Camera, what is missing thats not missing from other devices? MicroSD? My Galaxy Nexus doesn't have a MicroSD slot, but I'm able to download the app to it, but not my Nexus 7. (example: 80% of the EA Games - Madden12 most of all)

Could you link to a Tut on how to do this? I have root & unlocked bootloader.. but I'm using the Stock Android Build.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compact_bijou:
It's one of the reasons. Tablet v phone layout, dpi and JB are amongst the many other reasons.

If you have access another Android device you can download the incompatible app to that

device (if it's compatible, obv) from the play store and use APK Extractor to extract the .apk

Then install it to the N7. You can at least suck it and see if the app works or why it won't.

Here is the error: This app is incompatible with your Sprint HTC PC36100.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mertzi:
This was the case with ebuddy xms, so I copied the apk from my SIII and installed without problems. I think it isnt compatible because the nexus doesnt have a camera. It feels like google could have solved this in an easy way of some sorts.

I would also like to find a fix for this issue. I cant even install Amazon Mobile, or Craigslist Mobile. I use these two apps all the time and it REALLY sucks that I can not install them on my Nexus 7!!!!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
It has nothing to do with being unlocked/rooted. The devs of those apps have decided that the Nexus 7 lacks the necessary hardware to run the apps, specifically a front-facing camera.

R: "This app is incompatible with your Asus Nexus 7."

Could you PM me your instructions? Thank you!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liamwli:
Just wanted to make it clear that the Play Store marks most things as incompatible due to the fact that:

They request a permission such as read/receive SMS - this makes Google Play think the app needs sms support to work.

They request a feature that the Nexus doesn't have (such as telephony)

The APK reports that it isn't compatible with large screens

On my SE Arc I am running JJ's Hybrid ROM which uses the Sony stock ROM as a base but is heavily tweaked to look like AOSP. Is there any thing like this for the Note - maybe a combination of ROM and a theme? Basically I like the look of AOSP but would like all full functionality of TW. Thanks.

I don't really understand this - why don't you just install another launcher that looks more like AOSP? My personal choice is Nova, but there are plenty of others.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finbaar:
Of course I can install another launcher – but that is not my issue. In many ways I do not actually mind TW Home and sometimes use this as well as Nova when I am on a Touch Wiz ROM. But what I do not like about Touch Wiz is the more than launcher it is the settings menus, the icons and the overall look. JJ’s hybrid ROM looks AOSP but gives you full functionality – something that no CM/AOKP ROM I have ever tried has managed to do (actually there is the 2.3 ROMs on my Hannspad), although don’t get me wrong I do appreciate the devs work and I have happily donated when using those ROMs. But with CM9 we are missing the FM radio and on the Note we are also missing the MHL HDMI functionality. I don’t often use these these but occasionally I do. JJ’s ROMs have been on my Arc since March. For me this is a record as I am a complete ROM whore.

At the moment I am using Chrack’s v12 and I am happy, but still looking….

[Android General] .xxx.:
In November 2011, Adobe announced that they are halting the development of the Flash Player browser plugin, putting an end to Flash for Android, starting 15th of August. So, starting today, you won’t be able to install the Flash Player from the Google Play Store and those who have it already installed, will find it b...ecome incompatible. If you upgrade your device to a newer version of Android 4.1, the current Flash Player version may exhibit unpredictable behavior. Criticized by Steve Jobs back in 2010, Adobe looks to have withdrawn all support for Flash and has started focused development by embracing HTML5.

If you are concerned about flash used in video playback, Adobe’s blog can help you find some solutions, so you need not worry. Similarly, developers can remain calm because they get access to all the released versions of Flash Player for Android in archives, though updates to them will be nowhere to be found. Putting an end to an era of Flash, we have surpassed a major milestone that revolutionized the wireless devices industry.

I still do not understand the need for adobe to take such a decision :/

[Android General] chaitanya91845:
Donno whether to be sad or happy..Flash dies, but it also signals the rise of HTML5!!
[Android General] Txask:
So the only "affected" is whoever uses JellyBean, because the fact that they remove it from the play store does not mean that it can't be installed in other Android versions (see ".apk"s)... Anyway, it's time to support HTML5.

Yeah html5 can be an option.

But the .apks wont support after 4.0.x.. sadly an end to flash player.

[Android General] - Swift -:
They're only stopping support for it. That's all. Its still installable, but if a major bug occurs then they're not fixing it.

Its like Windows 95, its still out and you can install it on any machine but they're just not updating it anymore.

Tru but the latter part what you told is something to think about.

What do you mean 3rd party stores? The .apk is posted on XDA.

Its still on Google Play, removed from the search results so you need the exact URL, but it still allows you to install from the website and pushes it to your device. I imagine eventually this page will be removed

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicky_:
Hi Guys, ;)

I have a Defy Plus with DFP-231 Asian Retail version ROM. I had some memory cleaning widget which shows that my applications could use a total of 350 MB memory.....

I thought that the D+ came with 2 GB internal memory so I could load upto ~2GB of games(apps) running. ...:crying:

With all this confusion...

My Question is : What is the Difference between The RAM and ROM and Why is my widget showing only 350 MB usable for apps???

Kindly correct me If I'm wrong in my assumptions.:cowboy:

Cheers,

Vic
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zakoo2:
do not confuse ram with rom. rom is the storage which stores installed apps and system files, its like the hdd in a pc, and it keeps its content when powered down.

ram is a temporary storage from where apps run, and it clears after a power-down. (memory in a pc)

the defy has 2gb built-in storage (rom), from which 1.2 is usable for apps, and it has 512MB ram (around 470-480 usable).

you probably have a lot of apps installed, thats why the widget shows only 350mb remaining.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicky_:
Thank you for clearing this :)

Hi, :laugh:

Thank you very much for clearing this.. So does that mean when I install apps to my phone instead of SD card they get installed in RAM and not ROM????:confused:

Cheers,

Vic
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zakoo2:
umm, no. they get installed in rOm, thats the permanent storage, ram is temporary. although there are solutions to install apps to sdcard. (app2sd, data2sd)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo.ank:
Usable for Apps means memory that can be used to store apps permanently.. It is the available ROM on your device. As stated before the 2GB memory is shared by OS & Apps.

RAM (512 MB on defy+) is temporary and is cleared on reboot and other activities.
