Hey guys,
I just root my HOX (STOCK 4.0.4). The problem is I can't download apps from marker or to update apps.
I get an error message: Application requires newer SDK version.
What did I do wrong?
Thank you,
Evy

That maybe the Play Store thinking you have a newer Android version, even though that is strange considering that ICS and JB apps should all be compatible.
Try this, go to Application Manager from the Settings menu (or you can access it by using the context menu in the app drawer) and then select the Google Play Store. You then delete de data and cache from the app and relaunch it again to see if the problem is gone.
Did you make any changes to your build.prop file?
I'm getting the same error when trying to update Google Search through the app store. I'm also getting 'package file is invalid' when trying to update Tapatalk and a couple other apps that don't come to mind now.
This all started after I tried a new ROM that I didn't like then did a restore using Titanium to go back to Sick Sense. I backed up the data then wiped the phone (dalvik and all other caches), then reinstalled the ROM. Afterwards I restored the entire Titanium backup apps and data.
This is the first time I've wiped and re-romd since I initially rooted/romd six months ago. Until now I've never had any issues downloading apps from play store.
Could there be a file that was restored that possibly should not have been restored?
I tried what was suggested above but it didn't work. Any ideas?
This is my setup:
One X on AT&T
Android Version 4.0.3
Sick Sense HOXL ROM
Sense 4.0
HTC SDK API level 4.11

You have a AT&T ..... wrong forum for you buddy. Problem may stay the same and at the end the solutions also....just to point out you are actually in the wrong section.
I appreciate your concern, thanks. But I believe this is a software issue and not a carrier problem.
Edit:
I also posted here because I actually did a search and this is the closest topic that matches my problem.

Yes at the end i think so too, it was just a pointer because there are still too many people in this forum with questions regarding the other one x phone. :thumbup:

I'm having similar problems as the OP is and I did change my build.prop. The sdk version was changed to 19 and then I had to change it back because my device was unusable with it set to 19. I should also note that I lost root after it was changed the first time, and I think I might also loose root on every reboot. It seems to be at a random time root disappears but I assume it's because of a reboot. I'm running the stock att sense 5 rom with 4.2.2, should be api 17. Has a solution been found to this?
Note - I understand this isn't the correct forum for the att HTC one x. The problem is similar to what I have and I didn't want to create a new thread.

Try doing a full wipe and install back the rom or flash the rom again with wiping cache and dalvik?

[Q] app is Your device is not compatible with this item when it is :(
Ok so I tried searching and the only answers I could come up with were for a different rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11626645&postcount=425) as the video said I'm a noob I hate myself, it's right lol. But I can't seem to figure this out. Before I dive in I want to know if it's similar for my current ROM to these steps. I don't want to screw anything up I tried clearing the market data, and checking the adult filter. None of that helped.
Phone is HTC DHD Telus is the provider, So I rooted to Android_Revolution_HD-4G_6.1.5 without any problem. Flashed over to the suggested radio. Phone seems to be working good and fast but I can't install the app. It ran on my phone before I rooted... what am I doing wrong. Even when I find it not through the market. It takes me to the market and says "Your device is not compatible with this item" and I know that's a load of crap. If there's someone smarter then me out there (so pretty much anyone) Help please

I'm having same problems with other apps and an earlyer version of ARHD(6.1.2). Would sure like to know how to resolve this. I'm thinking the ROM gives back a model, android version and manufacturer to android market(and maybe more info, i'm not an expert). If this says HTC Desire HD android 2.3.3, this is good. If this says Android Revolution Desire HD android 2.3.5 and this is not the response in the list of "the app" you want to download than market says "NO"???????? Or maybe it's something else?
At least I'm not the only one who can't figure it out
From what I can gather, its the new market causing the problem.
Wait until google fix it, or install an older market and delete the updater.

+1 JagDave is right!!
And you may also try :
1. Change the LCD density to 240 by editing build.prop using buildprop editor or something from the market,
2. Reboot (Normal),
3. Go to settings, then application, find market there and clear the cache and data (very important), and
4. Open Market and try to download your apps now!!
Worked for me, dont know about you but i hope it does work for you as well!!
I ended up going and swapping to CM7 cause I was having some other issues and that seemed to fix it thanks everyone!
Thread closed at OP request.
Hi all I got this problem and it happened only once that after a full wipe, my apps has been reinstalled by theirself when i booted up for 1st time.
now it is not happening anymore and when i do full wipe, i have to remember all the apps io downloaded and reinstall them again.
is there a solution? dont tell me to use titanium bck please cos android should do that automatically! thanks
i looked around on found this, same problem different "phone" but none solutions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117511
What ROM were you on and what were you going to? I've found if you've wiped and got to a new build (e.g. 4.0.3 to 4.0.4) then it doesn't automatically do it
thanks for answering!
Im using AOKP, 21 before and now 22 (403), always used this after the stock rom, with AOKP have never been restored :/

I think it has something to do with your Google account. I have the same problem and it was ages ago the phone auto installed my market app. I do change rom quite often and i do not like TB to restore apps.
In your goggle account, I don't remember exactly where you can se a list of your devices and their apps. Same device can show as different ones in your account probably due to different build.prop or something like that.
So my theory is that you can only have a limited amount of devices with auto restored apps. Or Google doesn't recognice your device as the same one after you have flashed it with some custom rom.

duno.. i find out that logging with my credential onto the web market, i can see all the apps I downloaded and both my phones, G1 and nexus.
I just choosed what i wanted to "restore" and I clicked on install and in which phone to install. now i've got all my aps back onto my nexus
So... I have been on a custom ROM for a while now. The ROM I have been using is great... unfortunately... I have been having constant problems on the market. Currently, I can go to the market on the web and it still lists my device from when it had the latest stock version. My issue is that now it is showing a TON of apps that are incompatible which is complete BS. I was able to get some of the APKs and had some from a titanium backup I had done previously... and they all work perfectly fine.
I did a wipe of market data and removed my account on my phone. I then rebooted, added my account, and started up the market. This fixed about half of the apps... but I still have a ton of apps showing incompatible.
To try and track down this issue... can someone post a build.prop from the latest stock build? I want to try some modifications to my build.prop to try and fix the issue. Currently, I am on the King Kang ROM (AOKP+Paranoid)
EDIT: Was able to restore my device ID from a backup from when I was running stock. I am now able to install things... though it worries me that the problem could re-occur as with its normal configuration it would prevent installation of some applications.

Did you ever change the DPI on your phone? That will make installing things from the market impossible unless you have a modded market.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
however it was set on this ROM is where it was initially and had problems. I changed with Paranoid but other than that no. After changing with Paranoid I can still DL most apps. Though... the DPI is pretty jacked immediately after flashing... its all set at like 320 default which is too large for almost anything. I have set it down to 200. Even though I still have it at 200 after restoring a device ID I can now install stuff again for now though.
I think I've tried everything to install the modded version of google play.
-Opening the .apk directly in file browser gives me an immediate fail or a "free some more space" warning (I have the 32gb One and huge amounts of space)
-Running through lucky patcher doesn't do anything. It just completes and there's no change. I've run it patched to android, unpatched to android, no difference.
-Running "install cracked google play" app immediately restarts the phone, no change.
-Flashing a .zip file does nothing.
-Factory reset, install everything from scratch, reboot, no change.
Even if I replace Phonesky.apk in system directory with a modded version, it STILL reverts back to 3.10.9 on a reboot. I've tried so many different versions, nothing makes any difference.
Seriously need some help from the experts. I'm running jelly bean 4.2 on AT&T.

Maybe you should ask in the AT&T forum. We don't have many people unlocked here on Verizon yet to get advice from on getting it to work with our device.

I got the phone as a gift from my uncle in China, it's working fine except I need google apps. From what I've read here and elsewhere I can download the correct version of GApps for my version of android and simply flash it by saving it going into the SD card and entering recovery mode.
I have some questions:
Is there a specific GApps file for the Desire 816 or can I just use any one such as from team android for 4.4 KitKat?
Will this procedure void warranty and how risky is it?
Should I do a back up of the stock OS? Nandroid requires root access and I don't want to root the phone unnecessarily. Also the methods for system back up without root such as holo backup seem unreliable for some devices. Has anyone done a back up for the Desire 816 with holo/Ultimate Backup Tool?

If you want to install the Gaaps, you should have clockworkmod recovery for sure, which requires unlocking your bootloader and rooting. Once you do that you will loose warranty. But do you really think that you ever claim for warranty ? I have used 11 smart phones so far and never went back to the vendor for any issues. I completely relied on XDA forum and never got disheartened. Anyways, thats your choice, whether to live without google apps in your smartphone until your warranty period expires and live like a king by rooting and installing the gapps? If you choose the later option, then start with unlocking the bootloader, followed by rooting, followed by custom recovery installation and then gaaps zip installation.
Btw, use the gapps from the following link http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=10238 rather than the one you found that are for cyanogenmod roms.

Thanks for the advice. I wound up rooting the phone with Clockwork Recovery Mod. I've tried flashing the gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip file that you linked, the flashing completes successfully and the phone boots. However as soon as I try to go past the lock screen the error message "Setup wizard has stopped working" is repeated on loop. I did a system restore, tried a package from here to the same effect. I saw a post where someone had a similar issue and did something along the lines of wiping user data and dalvik however for the life of me I can't find it again.
EDIT******
Nevermind, I did a full system restore, wiped Dalvik, Cache, User Data then flashed the modular gapps package I got from the second link I mentioned. I then wiped everything again and started the phone. Went through initial set up and now everything seems fine. Will update if google apps starts playing up.
EDIT # 2
Play store doesn't work properly Will try again in the morning using the package you suggested.

Sorry to note the hiccups you are facing dude. I should have told you about setupwizard thingy, which I learnt about it ages ago. My sincere apologies. Flashing gapps on chinese roms will corrupt the existing setup wizard. So the work around for this is to, backup that system apk, using titanium backup or any other popular ones and then reinstall it once the gapps are installed. But now that you confirmed it working, I am now bit relaxed. But yeah so sorry for that.
Re your play store apk, Google has updated his play store apk recently. Try the new version apk from http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...issions-bigger-buttons-and-more-apk-download/ and then go to Apps, playstore and delete data and cache. Wipe dalvik cache (optional) from the recovery and then try if it works. I am sure it should work without having to delete all this caches and data, but yours being chinese version mobile and had troubles before with it, try those tricks.
All the best.

Thanks again, I followed your advice and my apps now seem to be working ok. I think play store is a little unstable still, I occasionally get errors attempting to download apps (Error 904 I think) but those go away if I just restart the download. I had Facebook messenger force close once but that was when it was going through its tutorial mode. It's now also working fine.
Unfortunately this process seems to break the FM Radio app which is a minor blow, attempting to back up and restore with Titanium Backup gives the message "App was not installed". Same applies when restoring setup. I'm not sure if having a corrupt set up wizard will create problems for me in the future.
The only thing I can think of which would cause the problems restoring system apps is that I didn't apply the wp_mod.ko which is recommended as part of this root procedure. That's meant to allow me to write to the system. The instructions for doing so weren't particularly clear and everything else seemed to be working at the time so I skipped it (I know, probably not the best idea).
Any advice would be appreciated, however right now I'm pretty happy with the rest of my phone working with google apps! I'm also investigating whether spiritFM will work as an alternative to the stock radio app.

Thanks for updating us with your issues. I think by your description, i can see that it could be cache's problem. What I usually do is, when you install any rom via backup, I try to do factory reset twice from the systems setting and security. This will eliminate all the cache issues that you are facing with google play and fmradio. If you cannot restore the factory settings for any reason, I would then try going to settings --> Apps --> find google play app - -> delete the data and clear cache. This will make you to re enter your google account again. Hopefully, your google play should work fine. Apply the same trick to your fmradio too and see if it makes any difference ?
Hit thanks if it works, so that others would learn from your experience and know that this trick worked.
