Good point but.
I have some low end apps (great apps but not much developer money) that I use and they work fine.
LCD Density
If you have changed your pixel density that will make it so certain apps can't be installed. For the odd app that wont install through the market I just download the apk from whoever has it (google it).
I have flick golf and it works perfectly.

It's not a good point at all. Programs don't have to be designed to work on dual core, they'll just use one of the cores. They do, however, have to be designed to take full use of the dual cores.
9mm plays but the graphics are all pink textures during gameplay.
Flick Golf works fine on mine.
i flashed the sb rom, but when i download apps i cannot open them. anyone else have this issue

What would the pixel density have to do with any of that? That absolutely is not true as I have the ATT version of the phone and my room mate has this version of the phone. Both are rooted and his is still stock ROM mine is listed below in my signature. My Pix density is 200 and his is stock 240. Both of our markets show as having not compatible apps for our phones such as Adobe Flash and Netflix...Yet We both have the apps on our phones just older versions. When you search them out they are there and claim to have updates but will not let you install. I flashed an update to my ROM just a few days ago that did a wipe and reset of the phone and after rebooting and customizing (including changing the build.prop file for density) for a short period of time I was able to search out and update Flash to version 11 and the latest Netflix. I go back after a few hours and noticed one of my apps "Make your clock" was the old version after restoring from TIBU and went to update the app and uh oh no can do, not compatible with my phone. And yet the day before I updated that very same app before TIBU restore...So your theory about density seems really thin and unless you have actual proof that this is a cause then I would keep from confusing anyone with it.

Guys, I don't think it is a question of the app(s) working fine. It is the fact that even if you have an older version of the app(s) working and there is an update is it:
1. Listed in your Market?
2. If not listed in your Market can you search and find it?
3. Once the App(s) in question is located is it listed as update or downloadable?
If all of these factors match then why is it happening this way and what is preventing from downloading these files to the phone!
This seems to be an ongoing issue across the board with most phones...I will see if I can research and find some results to post.
I find it interesting that PD was the only new change I had made prior to my new problem of incompatibility.
So far these are the apps that no longer are compatible:
Picasa Tool
Firefox Beta
Moboplayer
Adobe Photoshop Express
Best Buy
Maxthon Browser
I tried resetting my PD back to stock, but that didn't help.

So that I am clear about all that you did was PD change...Did you restore anything from backup? Or just loaded everything from the market as a fresh install?
I found this issue only when using viper rom when i was stock and now running starburst ive had no issues...
My Maps Editor doesn't work,
It used to work with my HTC EVO
I dont know if google blocked it completely now to where you can only edit maps through PC 100% of the time only but I used to be able to use it until recently.. version is 1.1.6
I bought madden on my samsung epic, and it worked perfectly, but now with my gs2, its not compatible anymore I spent $6 on that app for getting to play it 5 times lol. It doesn't show up in my market, and I checked online, and it is also listed as incompatible for epic touch 4g. blahhh
These apps were installed from the market but now cannot be updated at all.
Add to the list ttorent and the official Newegg.com app that are no longer compatible.
Again running ZedomaxEpicTouchKernel with stock ROM and a PD of 170.
---------- Post added at 08:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------
It is definitely related to PD. I just reset mine to stock, but this time cleared the data from the market app. Boom, now everything is compatible again and updating perfectly.
PD is definitely the cause of some Apps not installing and being seen on this phone but what's up with the rest. I've had Apps on my epic that aren't compatible with this phone. Doesn't make any sense.

I have a problem with EA's Android games: Monopoly Classic HD, The Sims 3, Need for Speed: Shift... Most notably, I'd like to get Monopoly Classic HD working, since it's just an awesome game and everything, but the problem is, it doesn't.
There are two versions, and neither works properly on my Desire:
- Version 0.0.30 is apparently meant specifically for Snapdragon processors, but upon starting the app it'll just show a black screen and then FC out. Same problem with The Sims 3 and Need for Speed: Shift, even though those too are supposed to be meant for Snapdragon!
- Version 0.0.42 is meant for Hummingbird processors, but somehow this one starts up just fine, and I can even play it normally for hours on end... if I'm lucky. At random times (sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes a few hours) it'll freeze up the ENTIRE phone, and all I can do is pull the battery to fix it.
So as you can see, neither version works as it should, and I'd like to know if there's anything I can do about that. I'm posting this here because I suspect this problem is ROM-based; otherwise, the 0.0.30 Snapdragon version should be working just fine, no?
Anyhow, this is my setup: RCMix S 2.0.1 which is a 2.3.3 Gingerbread ROM with snq- v6 kernel and A2SD.
Any help? Could it have anything to do with the app not supporting Gingerbread? I've heard reports of the sort; something to do with the accelerometer. If that's so, anything I can do?
Bump, it's been a while. Anyone?
I am having a similar problem as well on my HTC G2
I get the same black screen and FC for the 0.30 version
For the 0.42 version, the app installs and downloads the necessary files for setup (20mb) but has an error during setup
Error airplay v4.3.0
cannot open file... did yo inlude this file in your mkb's "assets" block?
or something along those lines. i have no idea what to do
please help
I'm running Gingerbread on my HTC Desire (InsertCoin 2.1+3.0 ROM) and have had no problems running NFS Shift or Tetris HD (another EA Android title). Granted I don't own the Sims or Monopoly, but I don't think the problem is related to GB.
for the arm cortex android devices you have to find the right version of the game. try on www.allo-mobile.com >register > search for monopoly arm cortex
same issue here with Samsung Droid Charge:
got an error message saying, "Airplay v4.3.0 [250761]) Cannot open file ./iwui_style/fonts_max/iwui_fonts.group.bin for serialising (read). Did you include this file in your mkb's "assets" block?"
I had it running fine until a week or so ago, and then it said there was an update, then I lost it. I was running Froyo at the time (which it did freeze up as the OP mentioned). But now I've got GB and would love to have this back. Wondering if EA is behind this nonsense.

Oh man that sucks. Yea, its really sad that the amazon app store is only for US customers. I would rip the app from my phone and upload it here, since it seems to be the only working copy that I have found, but I'm pretty sure you need the proprietary app in order for this to run as well. Sorry...
I have the Android Epic 4g from Sprint. I originally had EA's Monopoly but it appears around the time of the upgrade to gingerbread, that I started getting the following message when i would try to open the game:
EA monopoly error (airplay v4.3.0 [250761]) cannot open file ./iwui_style/fonts.group.bin for serialising (read). Did you include this file in your mkb's "assets" block?
I've tried deleting & reloading game & rebuying but to not avail. If anyone has the answer, please let us know.....Currently Disappointed!
Same problem on Inspire 4g. solutions anybody?
Having the same problem on My Xperia Arc, seems like the new version of the game is faulty.

Downloaded an upgrade to Skype today, and included was a bunch of new devices, that got videocalling with the upgrade. Among others was the Iconia A500, but of course no A100. ARGHHH!!!
After a couple of weeks of owning the A100, I'm more than happy at the size and speed of this little tablet, but it's getting to be really tiresome, that most of the cool new games and apps I find in the Market aren't compatible with the A100
Even some TABLET APPS aren't compatible.
And this is just the apps openly state they aren't compatible. With some of them, you won't find out until you either open it, and a message tells you that your device isn't compatible, or it just plain crashes on you...
(To further the confusion, in some cases you can download a demo from Tegrazone, but when you try to buy the full game after happily playing the demo, Android Market tells you, that the game isn't compatible with your device.... WTF?!?!)
Who's fault is this exactly? Is it Google that messed up? The developers that are just plain lazy? Or is Acer somehow to blame?
(I noticed that most apps report my screen in the A100 as being 600*976 pixels. Is this somehow the problem for at least some of the uncompatible apps!?)
And more importantly, what can I as a user do? Shoot off some friendly emails to developers? Or can a root or somekind of hack help solve the problem?
Opinions, suggestions?

Errr, yes it is (on A500/A501)! If you took 10 seconds to search you'll find in the skype parameters the possibility to turn on video (it isn't by default) and it works, I've just spent an hour on skype video, you can choose which camera you want to use, everything works perfectly.

Those options do not exist in HC 3.2 on the A500.
In mine stock 3.2 non root exist. Is in settings at the skype application. But you need the last skype update. I just finished a video conference right now and it worked great. Try again.
Alright, on 3.2 Rooted, but the rom that has all the bloatware and everything pretty much intact Skype does not do video calls or show ANY of the video options in the settings.
I reverted back to a backup of 3.1, and the app DOES do video call, and show the video call settings.
I don't know what your doing Kekinash, but you've got a magical tablet.
That's weird, my A501 on 3.01 stock rom with root is compatible with skype video calls.

This is both an opinion as well as a suggestion...
Be patient
Unfortunately the 7" and 8.9" sizes are 'new territory' for HC apps. Devs worked to get apps compatible with/to 10" screens and the associated resolutions that run on that size primarily for their tablet-only applications. In the same way devs for phone (1.5-2.3) apps have been working to make their apps scale up for tablet use, I'm sure HC-only app devs are working quickly to make their apps scale to smaller tablet screen sizes and those new resolutions. Even if the resolutions are already supported, afaik there's an issue in 3.2 causing them to crash when paired with 7" screens either way.
So when I say be patient, I mean hold out a bit longer and I'm sure things will be up to spec. On one hand you'll have the quicker devs fixing their apps to work well with smaller screens/different tablet resolutions and worse case scenario, you know it's all coming together anyway for ICS and at that point, everything SHOULD work.
Edit:
And friendly emails to devs let me tell you, do tend to get the job done. Especially when the app is popular. I use Getglue and was frustrated that it wasn't after quite a long time, not changed to be compatible with 3.0.1. I wrote a friendly email to the dev. asking for a Getglue for Tablets because I really loved the app and I sit with my tablet beside me more so than my phone now at home, etc. etc. and I got a response from my team saying that the app was unfortunately no longer compatible, but to use the mobile site. This was in July. Then roughly a few weeks or so later, voila! Fix'd. So it never hurts to let them know what's up.
most apps work in my stock A100
So far I have had no problems with the apps I use and have downloaded or even pay for. Skype now does video calls perfectly, the only app that was crashing a lot was a spell checker tha I did uninstall and replaced with an other one that has no problems.
Just checked, and the video options DID turn on in Skype.
Along with a little warning that it might not be supported, blah blah...
So I got to use the front camera for the first time today
Dunno if it's just me but it seems not all the apps I could/can see on my A500 appear on my A100. Same gmail account. For a while I couldn't find Facebook on the market.
Yeah, there would be a lot of apps for the A500 that aren't compatible with the A100 I can imagine.
Best way to check, is to go in to the www version of the market, then you can see all apps, no matter if theyre compatible or not. If you have several devices, the www market tells you which one of your devices an app is compatible with. I wish there was a similar feature in the market app.
BUT! On the bright side, I DID get around to rooting my A100... You think that might make a difference in regards to apps? Is there some kind of workaround available now that its rooted?
I just activated cam on my A100 and it is working fine.
?? Does Skype update automatically???

App runs fine, but force closes alot. Happens on my galaxy nexus as well, so it may be a crappy app.

ROOT
A file manager that supports root (Like ES File Explorer)
Wouldn't try this on stock software/launcher, but let me know how it goes.
Note: It makes things a bit hard to read, even if you make the font "Huge" in the settings.
1. Create a backup of your phone.
2. In ES File Explorer, go to the SYSTEM folder.
3. Open build.prop with the ES Note Editor.
4. Change the line ro.sf....LCD Density to =160.
5. Save. Reboot phone.
Ta da, tablet mode. This may work on other phones too, but as tested it requires a lower number for lower resolution phones which may make it impossible to read/use.
If you have a Nexus 7 Tablet, use =170.

1. Create a backup of your phone.
2. In ES File Explorer, go to the SYSTEM folder.
3. Open build.prop with the ES Note Editor.
4. Change the line ro.sf....LCD Density to =160.
5. Save. Reboot phone.
Ta da, tablet mode. This may work on other phones too, but as tested it requires a lower number for lower resolution phones which may make it impossible to read/use.
If you have a Nexus 7 Tablet, use =170.

Wont a resolution other then 160-240-320 break the market? Some apps will not show up for non standard DPI I think. Not sure.
Also I used this yesterday, as I tried to download Cut the Rope HD, even if that didn't work. I was surprised what 160DPI did to my phone. One X international.
Anyway confirming this works on the One X for me with CM10.
But if you find a way how to switch it without the use of DPI change let me know . Something like the paranoidandroid project.
I found few guides, but they do not apply to my phone. Or I do not know where those files are to decompile them.

Use your regular DPI, download your apps, then switch the DPI. #winning.
Cut the Rope HD (Lite) shows up in the market for my Nexus 7 Tablet (DPI set to 170, stock is 270.. i think). Going to test with S3, i'll update in a few with my findings.
Changed DPI to 160 on the S3 and went to the Market, Cut The Rope HD lite is listed, installed fine and runs perfectly fine.
So i have a DPI of 170 and a dpi of 160, market working on both devices, unless you have a full list of apps I can test, doesn't seem to affect anything. If so, just do what I said above. Should get around the issue.

That did not work for me. Once market gets the wrong DPI, some apps wont show up. Last time I tried I ended up with Nandroiding back. Even clear Data and Cache didn't work.
The lite shows up everywhere ... Thats not the issue The one on sale HD doesnt and it says I have no compatible phone with that.

Oohh gotcha... I'll have to do some more testing then I guess. I usually only use the Google apps and that's it. Maybe Facebook twitter and such. Personally haven't noticed anything else missing. Ah well lol
Yeah you're right. Even on play.Google.com it says incompatible. Argh. When you nandroided back did it fix it? Or is this still broken for you?

Nevermind, still broken here....
I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839871
But no luck, anyone want to try it and report back?
I could be doing something wrong haha
Also could we put a list of apps together that are incompatible... everything else I look for seems to work fine... hrmm..
Comments on Cut The Rope HD:
Ahzi - September 16, 2012 - Version 1.4
No Nexus 7 Support
I love this game and it worked great on my old tablet but for some reason this version has cannot be installed on my Google Nexus 7. I tried the HD lite version and it says it's compatible but not the one I've already paid for.
That gets me wondering, because it says ALL my devices are incompatible (S3, Nexus 7, Nexus S and Nexus One). The Nexus S and One are unmodified. I'm wondering if this is one of a select few apps that are affected? I can download Asphalt 7 no problem at all on both devices (Nexus 7 and GS3)

I think you misunderstood me there completely or I confused you there a bit.
1. Forget the Cut the rope HD. It has nothing to do with the problem is anything of the problem. I just mentioned it because it was the reason for which I changed my DPI to test if can download it.
They have trouble with it on Nexuses etc. As said, I wanted to test it only with it, I couldn't download it before as well. (was for it also changing device name etc, making myself to Xoom, Eeepad etc)
2. Using not standard DPI indeed breaks market , but for example apps like Beautiful Widgets, HD Widgets that I remember.
3. I would rather go another approach, if not using paranoidandroid. And the tweaks to the java files. Maybe we could use bigger fonts. Not sure how that would look like though
