[Q] sgs2 not compatible with Google Maps 5.7.0 - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

Hi,
I try to update Google Maps to version 5.7.0, but Android Market claims that "This app is incompatible with your android."
regards

I got update notification from Market itself. I chose to update and it works well. Not sure why it is giving you this error.

I installed after using Market Enabler and changing the country to USA.

Thanks, problem solved.

Just had the same thing - strange.
Used market enabler to fake location but no joy.
found the apk here
Installed fine and seems to work perfectly

why is it not compatible in the first place??
the sgs2 has the fantastic hardware (dual core and ample ram) and the latest android version.
why slower phones able to support but not the s2?

There is no problem with the phone! It's perfectly compatible with the latest google maps version.
It's a problem of some locations, as not all locations have access to the latest google maps version. Android market will check your location first and if it is not entitled for an upgrade you will get this error message.
The workaround is to fake your location as mentioned in previous posts.

I'm on 5.9.0 which was pushed through the market. No probs! BTW, I'm in the Netherlands.

Here is the cause of my problem - running a DPI that differs from the norm

for me was the dpi. Change to stock (240dpi) and everything is fine

I doubt that's the issue. I run 210dpi and i can install it through the market. Even if the online (desktop) market says 'incompatible with your device' you can still search it and install.

Help: Market enabler for installing apps which say 'not supported in your country'

I've Galaxy nexus, and the market is updated to Play store (latest android market). I've Codename Android ICS version installed. Need help installing apps from Play store which say "Not supported in your country". I installed 'Market enabler', and pointed it to T-mobile US, Verizon US, but still no use. Can someone please help me with this?
Having the same issues here ..
You should probably email the app creator instead of asking here...
I was asking if there's any alternative for market enabler which works with Play store...plz suggest
theres no alternative to that just yet...
if you really just want to uninstall apps just do it thru settings > apps ot download titanium backup and uninstall them from there

It worked for actually buying the apps ?

to purchase apps you need to have a Google wallet account registered somewhere that actually supports purchasing apps from the market.

Hi I have a question following what you said. I have a friend who wants to buy a app but he can't do it in his country. He said he found the .apk but somehow it still could not work. So I was thinking maybe he needs Market enabler. If he has it and I buy the app and give him the .apk file, could he then install the app?
Thanks

[APP]Google Maps latest version

Installing Google Maps is a regular problem for me, because everytime that a new version comes up, i'm unable to download it because of restrictions in my country (Chile).
It's not easy to find the latest version (at the moment of this writing i think it's 6.8.0) .
If someone can upload the updated apk i'll be very pleased.
The most recent version that i can found searching the internet was the 6.6 so, if it's useful to somebody the link is here:
REMOVED
If there's a method to avoid country limitations please tell me, because Market Enabler and similars are not working anymore.
Thanks!
Latest maps, unzip it, install, This is version 6.8.0
124 views and nobody uploaded maps? Weird.
I can't see maps in google play, or in my apps (on google play), but you can update it like this:
Go to maps, settings, what's new, update.

I don't know if there's a special way to do it, but a long time ago Market Enabler stops working for me.
Sometimes i'm able to see the apps that i normally can't see, but i cannot install them.
I updated mine this way. Market then my apps then slide to the right for "all" then scroll down for Google maps, it will be there.

do u read about "maps is not available on some countries" ? lol
anyway with market enabler should work fine
You need to keep market enabler enabled at all times, at least i do and it works.
I make it a habit of running it and selecting T-Mobile US every time my phone reboots and before connecting online. Let it change your APN, then it will always work. Also replace your Play Store vending apk with the mod version, then you should be good. If you need to buy any app, open the app page in the browser.

Probably because Google can hit XDA with a cease and desist and cause all sorts of trouble. You are not allowed to distribute google apps.
Oh ok thanks for the tip, OP you can just PM me.

Region code change for play store?

Hi I have noticed not all the games/apps are available on play store is there any way to change the phone's region code? Or some how get the play store to display missing games/apps?

Oops.. i just realized It's posted on wrong thread... please move this thread to Q/A
I noticed that too, when I came here to Korea to see my parents.
The Play store displays different apps on my Galaxy Tab unlike my iPhone.
Really annoys me.
You can download market enabler, but some apps aren't showing as they probably aren't compatible. I know Plants Vs Zombies worked on my SGS1 with Slim ICS, but it doesn't run on my SGS3.

is there any market enabler you would recommend and works with the I9300? I keep reading there are several different ones and currently not working :/
I don't use one sorry, I know there are some that works on the i9300 but you will have to search the forum.
This one works for me: http://market-enabler.googlecode.com
I use market enabler by for2w, works like a charm and fakes market on boot, doesn't show in play store anymore though (actually can't find any market enabler in play store at all)!

I still have the Market Enabler APK and its codes (a separate APK).
Here they are:

I don't use them anymore, but I believe they may (or may not) require root access.
Yes, requires root! And will try to ppst the apk tomorrow (pm me if I forget please)

No Google Now after 4.3

I have been running 4.1.2 for a long time and google now always worked fine. When the 4.4 home screen apks came out I installed them and was really enjoying having google now as a homescreen page. Last week I installed the ditto note rom and ever since then I can not get google now to work, I have tried everything that I have found when searching (Why doesn't xda search support speech marks though?) Last night I did a super wipe and installed pheonix rom but still the problem persists. What am I doing wrong?
Since installing DN3 I have tried:
changing language to english us - still no google now
changing to english uk and downloading offline data - still no google now
clearing google search app data - still no google now
upgrading google search to lastest version - still no google now
downgrading to dn3 default version - - still no google now
installing 4.4 apks - still no google now
super wipe and install phoenix rom - still no google now (shouldn't superwipe kill any possibility of it being something on phone that did it?)
languages again - still no google now
installing launcher enabler - still no google now
So is it one of the following?
Google decided that an English speaker in China doesn't get google now anymore? On the exact day I upgraded my rom?
I'm being punished for installing the 4.4 apks early?
These two roms don't support google now?
superwipe isn't super?
Google now was bad for me and the universe is staging an intervention?
Please help

Hmmm.. looks like it must be something similar to how location reporting got disabled for many countries.. For a company that talks so much about transparency I sure wish they would explain why they are disabling these features that used to work fine simply because I happen to be in another country. Is it an international law thing?

It makes me really uupset to. I know that google now/voice search requires active location settings... I think the Chinese government demanded that googole disable location tracking for internal security (closed market/monopoly),,,,
I dont want to see maps blocked here s I guess it is a balancing act. I hate to see the other features of googe blocked....
From what I can tell it works perfectly fine if you set it up from an earlier version of google search.. For me that means probably a reflash without install search then finding an earlier apk version to initialize it.. Will report back on progress..

Success!
What worked for me was:
I reflashed the rom I was using but chose not to install google search as a system app. You could just try to remove the app with Titanium, it should have the same effect.
On first boot I didn't sign in to google at all. Instead I first installed the search2.6 apk from the below link.
Then I opened google play and signed in and quickly went to turn off auto update.
Then I opened google search and it asked me to opt-in to google now.
Once it was all running I went back to google play and let it update and also installed the launcher enabler app.
Hope this helps someone.

Google Play Services on v5

I installed v20a on my G3 which came with Google Play Services 1557022-730
I updated this with Google Play Services 6.5.87 1599771-438 after reading that this the correct file for Android 5
Not sure if I should have done this. I'm not having any issues but think I should ideally install a 730 variant. The trouble is I can't find one anywhere.
Anyone have a 730 apk or know where I can get one? APK Mirror has every variant apart from 730.

I think you'd have to downgrade. I installed the 6.5.87 438 too. Didn't see anything weird, apart from the usual nlp wakelocks.
i installed that version too, but some things don't work, such as smart lock (for me), and when connecting to smartwatches, it says 'sync loop', it is connected, but drains too much battery.

Oh... I wouldn't know, I don't use any of those features. I have severe slowdowns due to synching, but I'm greenifying Google Play Services, and I think it doesn't like when I do this.
Seems the new version compatible with lollipop has been pushed today so I guess no need to tinker with this apk file
Guess this is the one to install now:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...oogle-play-services-6-5-87-1599771-430-2-apk/
In case another version was installed (like 438 or whatever) that needs to be uninstalled (in order to do that disable the Play Services - Android Manager from Security -> Device Admins; uninstall updates; apply the new version and re-enable things in security).
LE: Trusted places is enabled with this new version but I am not sure it actually works
LE2: Trusted places indeed works! Just my location was off.

In my case, it works at home but not at work (maybe GPS reception is bad inside the building)
What I did to make it work was "teach" it some locations based on network which seemed quite accurate but weren't spot on as the GPS ones (and also my home location seemed to be way off before - guess I set it up randomly before since it was in the general "ballpark").
Off topic but helpful (I hope):
Also as a tip, if you want to force the lock screen (and temporary disable smart lock) you can just tap the "lock" icon that appears on the screen - for me that was not that obvious (though now makes sense since it kinda works as in stock lollipop).
Still LG kinda made a mess of the screen and it's a shame they use only half of it for notifications and keep the bottom half restricted for unlock options. Maybe in new versions they will reconsider a strategy similar to what stock does ... but that is highly off - topic.

On APK mirror is mentioned that the 730 versions turned in 430 versions. I have 430 installed now and seems to work just fine. At the moment I couldn't find a 730 newer that 6.1.88 which comes preinstalled.
I just flashed the (slightly) newer version of 20a - had the lgbbs version before - and this came with Google Play Services 438.

There is the Poland version which comes with 6.1.88 (730) and the lgbbs version which I am not sure what contains (I didn't check when I had that installed). Which slightly newer one did you flash?
Nevertheless 438 seems reasonable, being the highest dpi available, however I can attest to the fact that on the 20A Polish version with 438 I didn't get trusted locations however that gets enabled with 430 (of course using play services version 6.5.87).
I got the one from this xda thread
Doesn't seem any different apart from coming with Google Play Services 438. Haven't had much time to play with it yet, only just finished setting things up.
Interesting, I got 730 ... well, good to know, I am curious though if you flash play services 438 from apkmirror if Trusted Location gets enabled ... would be interesting to know ...

Trusted locations only appeared after I enabled GPS - by default the G3 has battery saving location mode set.
Having said that the trusted location is a bit too wide to be secure. I use Tasker to switch off security when connected to my home network.
