Hi guys I just wanted to know if an app is updated but the update makes it incompatible with my device (eg. Whatsapp) and I use a service such as:
apps evozi com [apk-downloader] - I can't post outside URLs
Will I be able to update it from the Play Store when a new version comes out (which now becomes compatible) or do I have to uninstall and then re-install from the Play Store?
*Can someone also recommend an app or service that does what I want with regards to so-called incompatibility issues/not available in my country, and installing without taking away the Play Store advantages of auto updates and the like...
Thanks in advance
Use only trusted source to download
Some 3rd Party apps such as 1mobile and any other other than GooglePLAY AND AMAZON.DOES NOT FILTER APPS ACCORDING TO DEVICE COMPATIBILITY.
COMPATIBILITY ISSUES USE CAN BE OF ANY TYPE LIKE...
SCREEN RESOLUTION,PROCESSORS,BUTTONS SOUND CONFIGURATIONS ETC.
SOME TIME DUE TO ANTI VIRUS ALSO REFUSE TO INSTALL AS IT FIND SOME SUSPECTED WORMS,SPY,AD WARES...
PLZ HIT THANKS IF I HELPED.

I have DHD rooted with the latest update installed fine (Thanks to the xda forums for helping out on that)
I have noticed some apps do not appear for me in the market, even when surfing to their url from the official site (or using their QR code). These apps include the Google Maps app, Nook, Google Buzz widget, Google Shopper, etc.
Is the market blocking these apps for me because of my current location (Israel)? Or is it the cell carrier I am using (Orange il)? Or maybe the language of my phone (English (Spain))?
Will an update to the most recent RUU solve it (And give me some more generic English language)? Or do I have to just hunt around for apk for these apps, and install them manually?

it's most probably because they are not available in your area, you could use market enabler to mock a diffrent carrier, if you are rooted, try a uk carrier, because all thoes apps are availiable im my area
Thanks - it was just what I needed (and was hoping to hear).
Not sure if this is the correct section so could someone move it if needs be.
I've been a lifelong iOS user but finally got bored and ordered an Android phone. I know all about jailbreaking, but know absolutely nothing about rooting and I've been told this is where I'll find whatever info I need.
I have a few general questions and would appreciate if someone could shed some light as I need to get around the basics before I start messing with rooting etc.
I ordered a Nubia z7 Mini which looks like an amazing bit of kit for the price but since it's a Chinese phone there's a few things I'm unsure of.
Would it come with Google Play Store installed? If not, how do the Chinese get their apps?
Also, I've seen that you have to root the phone to install Google apps. What Google apps, and why do you need it?
Lastly, if you need to root the device to install these items, is there a way to unroot it afterwards and keep the newly installed apps? The reason I'm asking is because on an iPhone, certain apps won't work if it's jailbroken(like the Barclays banking app which is essential), so just wondering if it's the same with Android devices.
Thanks for any help.
1- it depends on the seller you buy from . some will install the gapps for you and some not . but don't worry it's so easy to install
the Chinese have their own app stores
2- The Google Apps (or GApps as they are commonly referred to) are the proprietary applications by Google included in many Android devices. Most of the applications can now be found and updated via the Google Play Store.Some of the apps include the Google Play Store itself, Google Talk, Google Sync (for adding and synchronizing Google accounts), Google Backup Transport, Car Home, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, Google Search, Google Voice Search, Google Music, and Google Docs.

Thank you for the explanation. I've got my phone and slowly getting the hang of it.
So why can you not install gapps on a Chinese phone without rooting it? And if I unroot it, will gapps disappear or stay behind?
Reason I'm asking is because I need to use apps which won't work on rooted devices, but I don't want to loose gapps.
I've rooted my N1 (for how to do it see the Play Store thread) and installed Play Store.
It works fine except lots of apps are not downloadable because the store says that they are not compatible with my device. Some stuff that will not install:
LINE messaging app, Google Maps, Google Chrome, Habit browser.
But lots of others are working like:
Gmail, Firefox, Firefox beta,....
I tried to sideload Google Maps and Habit Browser they work. Well not fully, it cannot find my location. (while some others can). The strange thing is that I don't even see them in the recent location requests window. (the location was broken before I rooted)
Anyone having the same issue?
Because of the location issue I have a feeling that they are related - the APIs are buggy, thus Play Store thinks that my device does not have a way to access location, thus lots of apps are flagged as not compatible with my device.

Chrome was crash same like you.
But I found apk for x86, It's work okay. but I use Firefox now.
Link is what I used one.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/chrome/chrome-42-0-2311-111-x86-android-apk-download/
Thanks, I have found the x86 version too.
My question is not where I can find Chrome or other software, rather *why* marks Google my device as not compatible with apps like Chrome when apparently they seem to function fine (except geolocation). Also I know that if I change the build.prop file I could fake my device to something else.
This method http://www.ghacks.net/2013/05/06/find-out-why-apps-are-incompatible-with-your-android-device/ does not work for me, I dont see those tooltips.
I think this incompatible issues from ARM, ARM64 or x86 based Android device.
One more another I guess is N1 is not cetifified from google maybe.

Its not a x86 compatibility issue since these apps work when sideloaded. And its not a certification issue (I guess) since other apps like Gmail are available on the Play store.
My feeling is that this has to do something with geolocation not working in some apps. For example:
Firefox - Available on the play store, does not use Google Play Services, has working geolocation.
GMail - Available on the play store, uses Google Play Services, but does not need geolocation.
Chrome, Google Maps - Not available on the play store, uses Google Play Services for geolocation, geolocation is broken.
Or just search for GPS apps, you will see that the most of them are not compatible with the N1.
So I think Google Play Services/something else reports to the Play Store that the device has no geolocation, and some apps mark it as a required hardware feature, thus the Play Store will not show them.
I've tried to find some error via Catlog, but have not seen any.
But this is just a theory, we need more testing to verify it.
Yes, you right.
I don't have consider this issues from locations.
Do you have any idea fix this issue?
I like to to test.
Most of incompatible apps are available in Nokia store app. Then you can update these apps on Google Play Store.
So, there are similar threads about this issue but nothing concrete about whether there is or there is not a solution for the problem, which is not actually a problem but something that is real disgusting for users like me on M2-803L. I have tried an aplication named APTOIDE which is like a repository of many apks; i got the chance to download from this channel the APK named GMS for installing Google Gaaps, but no success as it retrieves like a security info that does not allow you to certificate is a certified apk for use. Well, with no more words; which method is the best for getting back Google Play Store or any google applications?
I use this tablet for Drone mapping and is getting me real crazy as the DJI apk is not running properly as same as facebook and other APKs I used to have when google was available!
Without those apks I am no one!
Hope there will be someone that have successfully found a cure for this cancer on this tablet!
Regards!
I have 2 different phones, running LineageOS 18.1 and 19.1 respectively. After the initial install of MS Office (All-in-One) App, the App will not update automatically from the Google Play Store in either phone/LineageOS version. Updates get to 90% download and then just crash out. I have to manually find the latest APK and force it. Been this way for over a year. Uninstalling and reinstalling the MS Office App cumbersome and moreover, I have some custom settings and fonts that are a real pain to reinstall. I can live with the installing the APKs, but I sure wish this was simpler. I have emptied out Google Play Store and Play Services caches etc. Does not help. I can find nothing on-line. First I thought it might just be something I've done. But problem is on 2 completely different phones, but both use LineageOS.
Could of course be Microsoft. They have an undated post that says Google is aware of the problem (!?)
