[Q] CM7 & Incompatible Market

Okay, so I've been updating each nightly ROM and have a small issue. I've gone back to RC1v2 and the issue seems to be there too, although I am now back on the latest nightly (from 11th August).
a lot of apps I have installed - lets take Facebook as a pretty bog standard example - don't show up in the "My Apps" part of the Market app. If I search for it, it says it is installed. If there was an update then it allows me to update it, but still refuses to show it in "My Apps".
Now, if I go to the web version of the Market, it tells me that Facebook is "incompatible with my T-Mobile MB525". Clearly it's lying.
I've tried clearing cache and data from the Market app - still no joy.
I've tried taking the ro.build.fingerprint line of a Defy running stock 2.2 - no luck.
Has anyone else had this problem?
How can I fix it?

Yes I always have this no matter which rom I have.
You can get it to show all apps after you update or download a new app on the market.

Edit just tried it again amd it didn't work this time!
Edit 2 after clearing the cache (after downloading a new app from the market) it now shows all my apps.

No - that's not helping. For example, I've just searched for "chess" on my phone's market app, found one and installed it. the app does not show in "My Apps", and nor do any other supposedly incompatible ones. Market on web shows installed, and yet incompatible, screen attached.

Right that's a different issue to what I was thinking.
I used to have something similar to this when I was originally on eclair & tried to download apps from the market on my laptop - said they were incompatible as they were for a more recent Android version.
Sorry can't help any further as I've not had the issue on CM7.

hmm - bizarrely I just installed the latest nightly (1116), and now all my market works again. I'm confused, but somewhat happier.
now, if I can just work out why my patcher isn't working to get transparency theming I'll be sorted...

and now it doesn't. Clearly I'm doing something to cause this. Time for an investigation.

okay - the incompatibility comes when I try to rename the camera shutter sound. command I'm using is: mv camera_click.ogg camera_click.bak
Why would that cause this issue?

or apparently any command after mounting /system - at random. I give up.

In case anyone else IS following my ramblings here, I've changed ROM to WajkIUI, done nothing in the system folder, and still have incompatibility in the market.
Reloading a ROM was getting the market working - now not. The whole thing beats me.

gapps
Try flashing the latest gapps from here.
Another idea, try flashing a full nordic stock 2.2 sbf from scratch and applying CM7 again.

thanks - I'm already on the latest gapps.
I don't think flashing the sbf etc again would help, as like I've said - flashing a ROM usually fixes the problem, then I go and change stuff in /system (renaming the camera sound files, and uninstalling OI File Manager so I can get the later version in the market).

Custom dpi (lcd density) seems to cause the "incompatible" problem with the new market.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196417
Going back to 240 dpi and clearing market data makes everything work as it should.
You can then go back to your custom dpi, but most users are reporting the problem comes back after a while.

You're a star. That solved it. Thanks!

I had this issue also. The LCD density fix did nothing for me
i had to make changes to the build.prop file
below are the changes i made
original:
ro.build.description=umts_jordan-user 2.2.1 3.4.2-107_JDN-9 34.4.9 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=MOTO/jordan_tmo_us/umts_jordan/jordan:2.2.1/3.4.2-107_JDN-9/34.4.9:user/release-keys
replaced the above lines with:
ro.build.description=umts_jordan-user 2.2.1 3.4.2-107_JDN-9 34.4.9 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=MOTO/jordan_tmo_us/umts_jordan/jordan:2.2.1/3.4.2-107_JDN-9/34.4.9:user/release-key
these came from my stock froyo TMO ROM

am I blind, or did you really replace two lines with two identical lines?

I had a similar issue, but for some reason I have multiple accounts on for my market and the apps seem to get randomly assigned to another gmail account and will only show up when I go to that account.
I have not had any issues with the compatibility however, and I haven't flashed a new nightly since the end of Sept. but I am about to go with the first Defy stable build from CM so I guess we will see. I will make sure to back-up everything.

Netflix Error 13007

I updated to the new netflix today and I am getting this error when attempting playback of any show. Anyone experience this?

Same here. Tried both my Samsung Galaxy S (T-Mobile Vibrant) with Android 2.2 (Bionix-v 1.3.1) and my wife's Vibrant (stock 2.2).
The error that appears when attempting to start a program is:
We are unable to start playback. Please try to restart it (13007)
After this, it appears to hang and then crash. Help!

It works fine on my samsung captivate.
still no solution.

I tried it with one item, got the same error 13007, and restored the previous version from backup. I am afraid that eventually they may turn off the old version and force an upgrade, but for now it works.

I did the same,with titanium,and it's working again.

could someone post the .apk of the older version, or tell me where to get it?

if no one can post the .apk of the prior version, can you tell me which version it was so i can search for it?

downgraded to 1.4.1 and it works fine.

It wouldn't be legal to post without permission from Netflix.

I did see on ArchosFans, that after two reboots, the new version starts to work.

Didn't seem to do the trick
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium

Yes it is working
Yes 2 reboots on my Archos 101 and is working, thanks a lot

Two reboots on my Archos 70 seems to do nothing -- worse when I uninstalled it, and installed the 1.4xx version from Titanium Backup, the old version insists I upgrade!

I know: I hate that they force "upgrades" like that.
However, the new version seems to work now.

Has anyone found a fix for this? The two reboots thing did not work on my 101.

Any ideas on this guys? a buddy of mine is having this issue with his Vibrant.... thoughts?

Not working on my Archos Internet 70
The last version forced me to upgrade now all I get is 13007 errors. Anyone know what that means? I tried uninstalling, resinstalling, killing all running apps, uninstalling other apps. nothing works.

Has anyone got this working, I'm really pissed I can't get it going.

OK, guys. I found a work around for Netflix app. I got it working on two different 101s. Hopefully this wasn't posted already. If it was disregard this.
First you need to have Arctools installed to get the android market. If you don't already have it on your device, here is a step by step video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWyjeMXQMOU
Make sure you follow step by step. I didn't do the format the first time, and it wouldn't install the market right.
Once you have the market on there, you need to download the old version of netflix (1.4.1). APK is in post. Download and install the app. When you first launch the app it will tell you you need to upgrade, click the OK box. The next box that shows up will be the "Complete action using" box. It should show you the two options "Market" or "search". When the box comes up, press the back arrow. This should take you to the Netflix home page, and there you go, you can stream! The reason you need the Android market is because without it the "You must upgrade" won't give you an option on how to upgrade. (see attached pics)
A couple of side notes.
1) If the "Complete actions using" box doesn't come, you need to clear the market as the default app. To do this go to Settings>Applications>Manage applications>Find the Market in the list and click "Clear Default". That should force the box to pop up.
2) The issue I had on mine was once I start streaming something the back button freezes the video. The only way out is the home button or wait till force close pops up. The one I did for my friend didn't do that. When the back arrow was pushed on that one the "need to upgrade box" pops up. If it does, follow the same steps from above. (Press OK, then when the select option box pops up just click the back arrow). I know the Force close is an inconvience, but hey, at least you have streaming video.
I don't know how long this will work, or if they plan on patching so you can't do this (or fix their stupid app). Hopefully this helps the people that couldn't get the app working with the multi-reboot method.
If it works for you, please make sure you hit the thanks button.

As of today 12/15/11, Netflix released an update for their app, and it fixed (at least for me) the 13007 error. So upgrade to the newest version and test it out!

[Q] Can't download from Market / play store

OK have rooted my phone and never had an issue. Now all of a sudden I find I can no longer download from the Market / Play store? This started last week when I downloaded the new skygo app - (Only to find it doesn't work on rooted phones)
If I use the play app - I can visit and search but when I click download and accept I just get a message "Error while downloading purchase".
If I sign into the market on my PC, my phone is showing, all previous apps are showing, I can go to the store and download - but nothing happens, the app never arrives.
Currently installed apps all update without any issues.
Running: Redemption1.0 -Alpha4.0

Already cleared app data.
Have updated the ROM to Alpha6.0 and still no dice.
Any other ideas?

Did you change your LCD Density (DPI) to a different value? The default is 240 and the Market does not always work if you change this. If this is your case then try this
clear the market data and cache
set the density back to 240 (i.e. edit system/build_prop to have ro.sf.lcd_density=240)
reboot
use the Market to update everything (hopefully it works)
set your density back to what you want
reboot

Did you use the BlackICE Icetool app to change densities? If not then you need to manually clear the Market data and reboot. Depending on your country you may need to use something like Market Enabler to pretend you are in the U.S.
Also, the newest versions of Play Store seem a bit better

Play store and incompatible apps

Hi all
I'm currently running imilka's unofficial cm10, I'm loving so far.
Only issue I've identified, at some point something changes with the play store, I seem not to be able to install 80% of my apps.
As an example, I have Google+ installed but if I browse to the play store and select it, Google play says its incompatible with my device even though its already installed.
This is the case for about 80% of my currently installed apps.
I've tried to force close and clear cache for the play store app but when I restart it I still can't install apps.
Can anyone help ?

I've never had this problem until now, I think its an issue with the new JB gapps. Can't be sure though.

I have had this problem a couple of times with PA ROM (Utaka's build) and everytime i get the issue I have factory wiped and it fixes the issue. I now always fact reset so I can clearly identify if it is a bug in the ROM or not. Cheers

[Q] Unable to install 3rd-Party Apps CM12 i9195

Hello, first of all I'd like to apologise if this is not the correct forum to ask about this.
Essentially, I have CM12 on my i9195, it worked perfectly fine for a period of time, but for some reason I am unable to install 3rd-party (non-play store) apps.
I am running the newest (20150206) nightly, and I have unknown sources enabled.
Furthermore, I've already done my fair share of googling, and no I am not using any kind of screen filter app, and I have sufficient memory.
Whenever I attempt to install an apk, it just comes up with 'app not installed' - nothing more.
I have also attempted to install through the terminal (using pm install /storage/emulated/0/Download/app.apk), which resulted in 'Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]'.
I am completely new to any sort of android related things, so I have no clue how to solve this.
I'd be grateful if someone was able to help me out here.
Cheers

What app were you trying to install.
Usually the error occurs when the package name of the app u are trying to install is same as a preinstalled system app.

I was attempting to install a modded version of Snapchat (without installing any other version of it before).
Only thing that I came up with was moving the apk to its folder in system/app/.
However, the error comes up with with any other app as well, and to say the least moving the apps each time and changing the permissions is slightly inconvenient.

Try recovery and clearing cache and dalvik. Then when you boot up do nothing but make sure allow unknown sources is ticked, then go to filemanager and just install?
There could also be a problem with the modded snapchat version. Try redowning and older or newer version to see if that works.
Cheers,
Sora.

I really hoped it wouldn't come to that, but I did to a full format, which did not help at all.
It is an issue with not only snapchat, but all of the 3rd apps I tried to install.
I guess it might just be an issue with the ART runtime or something, and for now I'll just be converting essential 3rd parties to system apps.

@MedzikPL Did you try to install those apks on other roms. To see if they are working there. That points towards cm12. Which nightly are you running. I will flash cm12 today and i will try to reproduce the problem you are facing. Also give me link to snapchat download.

Very strange. Well I'm on latest nightly and all my 3rd party apps install fine. Can't be runtime. Please post a link to the nodded Snapchat and I will give it a go.

This is the mod, but as I said earlier I am generally unable to install non play store apps through the built-in installer.
Simultaneously, I did manage to get them to work by putting them in /system/app/ though, and they run just fine as I can tell.

After 20150208-NIGHTLY I am able to install apps, thread is for closure
