Annoying Market Glitch - reinstall after wipe

I was booting up for the first time after a wipe, finished the setup and all my apps were auto installing over wifi. Well my power went out in the middle of all the apps downloading,so an error appeared for each app in my status bar.
Manually I could start each installation one by one. All good. But adobe flash player was one of the apps that got interrupted. I've obviously had it installed constantly thru ICS. Well immediately the market won't let the download continue for flash because it got interrupted. Even though it was just installing 30 seconds ago. Says my device is not compatible. Is the market that glitchy where I'm not out of the loop of existing users allowed to continue using flash? It took a simple power outage failed download and the market can't remember I should have flash installed?
I'm annoyed cause I wanted to keep flash officially in my app install list.

Maybe try pulling the flash related apk from a back up, then push to your /system/app folder then fix permissions then use titanium back up to restore market link

Seems as if Adobe has pulled the Flash player out of Play Store earlier then the said august 15th date...
Can't find Flash player on the play store thru search (on a Gnex which doesn't have it installed).
On my phone, which does have it installed, says my device 'isn't compatible with this app' when I go into the Play store and look it up. If you'd like, I could attach the .apk file here..
EDIT: Attached Adobe Flash Player 11 apk

I don't think you can search for Flash on a Gnex since it's not supported. Try browsing to play.Google.com from your desktop. But even if you find it you may not be able to push it to your device.

Hmm, that's strange. Seems your right, but I HAD previously installed it on my Gnex... and flash is working in any case. Maybe it's JB, since it's not supported, it won't show up in the app store?

Correct.

If you copy the url of the app from your desktop/play store and open it through market on your device, it will say unsupported.
Forget flash. Use html5, it's way better.

Thanks. Yeah this is some kind of bug, Google should be made aware of it. Frustrating.

[Q] HBO GO no longer working

Forgive me if this has already been gone over but I cannot seem to find any other discussion about it. I am running the energy ICS rom for my kindle fire and I can no longer run HBO GO since the last play store update.
I uninstalled the play store app and tried to get the app from amazon but it of course says my device is not compatible. I tried side loading an apk for the amazon store version and it does finally launch, but force closes shortly after. I've been trying to find a more updated version of the amazon store HBO GO apk but no luck. I figured maybe if I could get the newest apk that might work. Anyone else with this problem? What am I missing here? Any help would be much appreciated.

You should get gederom.It works with gederom I think.

I'll try that. Is this a nice looking rom like energy? Eh I'll just give it a shot. Can always go back.

No luck on gederom either. HBOGO just says "HBOGO has stopped working" when you try to launch. If you try to do a report you get "Google Play store has stopped responding".
Any other suggestions? I wonder if someone could get the latest apk for HBO go on kindle from the amazon store if that would work. Is there any one that can point me in the direction or maybe somehow rip the latest version apk. The one out for download that I have seen before is outdated and also force closes.
EDIT: Any way to make the Amazon app store think I am running stock kindle fire? I'm just amazed I cannot find anyone else asking about this issue. I can't be the only person with a custom rom kindle fire that wants to use HBOGO can I?
EDIT2: Going to try using IMEI Generator to get amazon app store to let me load the app. Hope this works.

I've been having this issue since they made it official for JB. It ran while I was using twa_priv's JB ROM, but not so much on any other ROM. There's a permissions issue that's causing the app to crash on a lot of JB ROMs, but there's a patch/hack that needs to be applied to it for it to work. It's currently above my smarts range just looking at the coding, but I'm sure one of the devs will figure it out way before I even crack the surface on changing code level permissions.

Well I didn't get Amazon App store to recognize my custom rom Kindle as a stock Kindle, but it didn't matter after all. The following fix makes the Google Play store HBOGO app work again. Credit goes to user diesteldorf for helping me figure this out.
"First, your Kindle Fire has to be rooted but I assume it is. Second, you must have an app called Root Explorer installed.
The file you want to edit is the build.prop file. Go into the Root Explorer app and search for it. It will usually be somewhere in the system directory.
Next you'll want to edit the file. Root Explorer should keep a backup of the original build.prop file but you may want to keep a backup just in case.
Here is a link to what should be the stock build.prop for the Kindle Fire. You'll want to read it using a text editor or MS Office.
Here are the settings you'll be interested in changing:
ro.product.model=Full Android on Blaze or SDP
ro.product.brand=generic
ro.product.name=blaze
ro.product.device=blaze
ro.product.manufacturer=TI
Then Save the changes to the build.prop file and reboot your device."
Once you have done this simply uninstall the HBOGO app from your device if you haven't already and reinstall. Should fire up like normal now.
Once again thank you diesteldorf. I was about to pull my hair out(okay not really).
EDIT: One other thing of note, I actually went back to my backup of energy rom so I am assuming this method should work for any ICS rom but can't be 100% sure of course.

I am having this same problem using hashcodes jb rom. I will give this a try and hopefully this will solve my problem. I need my HBO fix!

The funny thing I found out is doing this fix makes the MAX GO app stop working. I gotta say if someone knows an easy fix that wouldn't interfere with this HBO GO fix i'll take it, but to be honest I really don't care about MAX GO at this point.
Also my feeling is that MAX GO will probably get the same store update that HBO GO got and maybe it will just start working again anyways.

This worked for me on CM9, Android 4.0.3, kernel 2.6.35.7. After editing the build.prop it wasn't working until I rebooted

I don't understand why I need this? Should I refresh my device?
The rom-developer writes in the first post: "Fourth Build
-Recreated GAPPS - 17MB - Only PlayStore and ContactSync" so there should be the playstore within, shouldn't it?
Can you plz explain how this app can help me?
thx !

Generally what happens there are 2 many gapps available around there. With this app its easier to find the one for ur Rom, Since a wrong one may give you Force Close for all ur apps.

ok thx! i will try it! :good:

I installed the app and it would have installed gapps, but only the regular "bloated" version. So I searched for a compatible version and tried a few times. A compatible Version for the rom [ROM][4.2.2]EnviroROM[V4][Pre-Final] so far is Superslim Gapps for JB 4.2.2.
Thanks for your help!

[Q] Ouya Update Error, please help.

I have a rooted Ouya and when entering Ouya launcher the update auto downloads just fine, then when installing I get an error screen (Ouya logo with exclamation point below). When i unplug or just wait it goes back to my specified launcher and everything seems to be fine. Any ideas on how to get this installed because the ouya launcher is not really usable until i get it. I used Rootmyouya.apk, the one click. I also have my mod collection for ouya installed. Is there a setting preventing installation? Thank you for any help.

I am running from nova launcher currently, but use the ouya launcher for the ouya store. When I load the ouya launcher it will automatically begin downloading an update (the chupacabra update) but will give me the error when it attempts to install the update. Everything is working fine without the update with the exception of the Ouya store (will not load without it). Is there a way to purchase content from the ouya store, online site only say "push to my Ouya" but will not let you purchase full versions of stuff from ouya store.

Chromecast Screencast - Anyone had success?

Has anyone had success using the screencast feature on their chromecast with this phone? I tried installing the latest CyanogenMod nightly (cm-11-20150104-NIGHTLY-epicmtd) along with the gapps-small for CM 11 from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps#Downloads and the phone was able to find the chromecast and even begin connecting to it in order to start the screencast (the TV screen even changes to black to show that it is trying to connect), however Google Play Services immediately crashes on the phone afterwards and causes a disconnect. An error then appears on the TV saying something went wrong while connecting and to try again.
I just wanted to know whether anyone was successful in using this or if they know how to make it work. Any info is appreciated.

Same issue here
I'm having the same issue. I downloaded the Mirror Enabler v7, but the button to disable "Force Close" (which I think is referring to that crash on the Google Play Services) is dithered. It does say that the app has not been successfully tested with the Samsung Epic 4G, but I gave it a try. The app does throw an error message that mentions an audio_submix file is missing from my CM 11 mod so I am still holding out hope that if I can get a nightly with that in it that it will work. If you mod has it, then it could be worth a try.

Thanks for the link. Didn't know about this. Did you try the fix at the very bottom of the first post? It sounds like a fix to the problem you have.
