I can't install any of the new HTC widgets. Any ideas?

I can download the 4 new HTC widgets just fine but when I click to install them or open them I get the error "Incompatible Update" is this because I'm running a Modaco ROM and a rooted device? If so, is there any fix for this yet? Would 'Market enabler' help?

Im getting the same error.

would it be because these widgets are just for the cdma hero?

Probably.. It seems HTC has totally forgotten about GSM Hero. They are really getting on my nerves.

Worked for me..

have a stock Dutch gsm Hero with stock updated rom and everything working fine, so no, it's not cdma (only)

rooted roms
I read somewhere that HTC have put a block on rooted and non-sense UI roms..
Hopefully modacco or someone can port these over

where are these new widgets?

There not for CDMA.

I'm running MDC 3.0, on my rooted GSM UK Hero, I've downloaded, installed and can use the new widgets with no problems. I had to download the battery widget twice since it didn't take the first time, but they're running fine now.

could someone share the .apks of the widgets please? i'd like to see what happens when i just copy them on the phone and reboot.

Hi there, The apps you bought are connected to your google account, so if you'r flashing another rom and sign in with your account, you get your paid apps again.

yeah all apps paid or free will be fine

Hi! I'm not OP, but I would also like to root my M8 so please don't mind me intruding..
I have a T-Mobile M8 on Android M (6.0), sense 7.
Is there a root available for it?
Thanks

I bought my device in germant back in the day, so i think it's European version unlocked. I add below the screen shots of the "about" section of the settings, doesn't tell me a lot

HTC BoomBass with HTC 10?

Has anyone gotten the HTC BoomBass to work with the HTC 10? I cannot seem to get mine to play properly...
Sound stops coming from the phone speakers and instead prioritizes itself to the BoomBass, leaving the device basically useless.

Is HTC boombass any good? Found it on offer for £15. Like is it good sound? Sorry for asking this question in this thread

What if I do not want to root my phone?
I use Android Pay.

Android Pay works fine with latest (systemless) root methods, so you should have no worries.

Are there any other ways to get this thing working with my phone that does not require root, though?

@Jebeld17 I bought a boombass today and only sound coming from the boombass and not phone and I'm fully stock unrooted
Did you manage to get it to work?

I also can't get this to work properly with my HTC 10. At least I still have my One max kicking around for the Boombass.

Okay, so I'm not the only one with this issue, at least. I'd REALLY prefer not to root, due to warranty implications along with constant complications with Android Pay.
I hope HTC patches this to allow BoomBass on the 10.
I've contacted the HTC Google Play app team for support on this, thinking it can maybe be applied in a patch fix to the HTC Connect app, so hopefully I'll hear back from them soon.
If anyone else can get a hold of someone higher up in HTC or know of a rootless fix to this, please let us know here!

you could by trying below...
1) install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=burrows.apps.busybox&hl=en
2) flash this file in recovery --> SeLinux-Permissive_fix
3) install this apk and let the drivers be installed and reboot (from v4a thread) --> ViPER4Android FX v2.4.0.1
see if it sorts you to use v4a

What exactly does the Permissive fix do and can it be reversed?

Yes you could reverse. Its for enabling v4a to work

Thanks, I always thought busybox required root. And this would this break OTA updates?

@Jebeld17 I contacted htc live support and they said that they will make a report and inform the development team and they will hopefully fix this issue. I have attached screenshot to the chat

Thank you, anees.
Let's hope HTC sends out a patch update!

I have noticed HTC put out a patch update to HTC Connect yesterday, but I am not in town where my BoomBass is. Can anyone verify if this new update to HTC Connect resolved the problem?

Yes, I got exited when I saw the update. But sadly it's still the same issue... Only sound from boombass

So I contacted HTC as well and I am happy to confirm that HTC is readying a patch update to fix this issue on the HTC 10!
