[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.

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.

Google Play issues with 241dpi

This is ridiculous. The Market used to work perfectly with 241 with a simple procedure. Now with the temp method, (reboot into 320, clear cache, diasble updater, reboot into 241 etc), it works for a while then apps starts showing as imcompatible.
With the modded vendor file for the latest Google Play, some apps I get a error msg saying "the item you were attempting to purchase could not be found."
Not sure what to do.

So it's ridiculous that the Play Store doesn't work properly with a hacked DPI setting? You think Google should provide testing and support for every single hack you want to apply to your advice? Get real.

I find the market to work fine with a DPI of 200, 220, 240, I have no issues with not being able to download apps. I use 240 as my default DPI.
Return to stock, reboot, clear market cache, open the market click accept then go back choose 240 DPI as stock, reboot, clear cache and open the market. It should work just fine.
What ROM are you using?

^^^This^^^
Or purchase LCD Density Modder Pro and this will solve your market problems with unsupported density's.

Google just began rolling out a new market update which lets you view reviews in categories. So this is prob your issue. Wait till you get the update then a new hack will start working again.

Aokp. Yes with 240 its alright. 241 gives the issue. But I use it since its fixes many things more than it ruins

Its funny because the last error msg I'm talking about has been reported at stock densities.

Google Play keeps FC'ing

Anyone have this happening on their glide?
I tried all of the following:
- clear data
- clear cache
- wipe cache on boot screen
- delete and reinstall the apk.
- 3G only instead of Wifi.
When I reset everything, all works fine until I try to update an app and that's when the FC's begin
The google play apk I have is v3.5.15
Is this what you guys have as well?
I'm seeing few other posts on other forums, but no solutions yet.

Try reselecting your Language in Settings > Language and Keyboard, after re-selecting, a media scan should occur, then try launching Market Play Store

no luck.

Damn that sucks bro. I had 3 updates and i updated with no problem. On both my KF and Evo 4G.

okay last one that i think worked on me before:
- turn off internet first, then uninstall updates on Play store
- reselect language again,
- turn data/wifi on back, wait for Market to update to Play store

I'm using Stock Rogers ROM but the phone is rooted.
I've had quite a few calls missed recently (doesn't even ring), so i think i think i think I'm gonna give it a factory reset.
maybe take a gander and some of the new custom roms out there now as well.

Wow that was painful...
Did a factory reset and GPlay still FC's
Did a full factory reset + Wipe USB and SDCard storage and GPlay still FC's (v3.5.15)
I now have found a tool that allows me to download APK's from Gplay web site and load them manually onto my phone, until Google can fix their latest version of Gplay which has affected others as well.

I flashed back to Rogers Stock a few days back to replicate your issue, but until now, my Play Store is still at v3.4.7 and no FCs. I am still investigating for I got this one before but solved it with just uninstalling updates and re-updating...

Cool how do you do this? I have a cousin of mine that has the HP touch pad with Cynagen Mod installed on it but when he goes to the store a lot of apps say not available for you're device. So then he asks me to get them and backup my app with Astro and then send him the apk. If he used the tool you use he would not need my help.

[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

[Q] Play store issue

Hi I am using a GS2 T989 with a stock rom, with Darksides kernel, and I haven't done anything to the rom EXCEPT for change the LCD Density of the screen, and I already changed that back to 240 because I heard that changing the LCD Density could screw with some play store things.
My problem is when I go to download some apps, it says that my device is not compatible with that app. I wanna know how to fix this..
I already deleted cache and wiped the play store data via settings > applications, and it did nothing..
I am stuck, there are updates it isn't letting me get, and it's getting frustrating...

Yeah this issue has been going around. It's just the kernel.
