I have a Rockchip PX5. Some apps won't work on the radio, like Exxon Mobile(to pay for fuel) and YouTube TV(obviously only used when parked). I was wondering if there was some way to force these apps to work, maybe by spoofing the device or something, or if there's just no way to get them to work on all devices. Sometimes apps will install from the play store and other times I have to sideload the apk. Almost all of the time, the problem I have with the apps is an error within the app telling me that the device isn't supported. Has anyone gotten around this?

Hey, I'd like to know some apps that you install using the phone, but which can be used when the phone is disconnected (not with you), so run natively on the watch.
Like, I install app A when I have my friends android phone, when I go home, I still want to use app A. I know there is a possibility for this as google said it. I know of the 2 apps: wear calc and wear compass. But surely, there should be more right? Anyone know some Watch-specific/native/standalone apps?
Thanks!
Anything that involved Internet connection is pretty much out. There are games that work when disconnected though. I have several of them. Just do some searching.
Anyone else have any apps that can't access the network after sideloading the Play Store?
Specifically, I'm trying to get my banking app, Simple, to work. It's not in the Amazon store (I've contacted them about this.), and when I search the Play store, it doesn't show up. Googling for the link tells me that the app is incompatible, so next step is to sideload it, and it works, but says there's no network access when I try to log in.
Initially, I chalked it up to the app, but then Waze was crashing on me, so I reinstalled (from Amazon), and after I got it to load, it was complaining about no network as well. I got Waze to work after some fiddling, not really sure what I did.
Anyone else having these sorts of issues? I've turned off auto updates from the Play Store, and I've installed very little from there.
If anyone wouldn't mind sideloading the Simple bank app to see if you can log in, I'm curious. (You don't need a valid account, I get the "Check your network connection" error regardless of what I put for credentials.)
Thanks.

If Play says the app is not compatible it is probably because it requires Android 4.3 or better to run. Forcing the app onto Android 4.2.2 (FireOS) is just asking for trouble. Maybe look for an older version of the app or wait for the FireOS update that hopefully will be out in the next month or so.

Ah, thanks for the tip. I doubt I can find an older version, so hopefully the update is out soon!
Hello all;
I was fortunate enough to get my sons Moto and have been trying to get it connected with no luck.
I'm not 100% certain if its the rom or the kernel (both custom), but I thought I would try asking here first. My gapps is the latest so I don't think that would be the issue.
The second I install Android Wear from the Play store I get immediate Google Play services failures. I've done much of the normal troubleshooting and it narrows down to; if I disable WearableService in Google Play services, I lose the error, however it also loses connectivity. If I delete the app, it immediately corrects the issue.
Before I ask in the kernel/rom forums, has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks!
I was messing around with xposed and Sony framework for ps4 remote play. I tried running Netflix and got an error, don't remember syntax. So deleted Netflix and tried to DL and now it won't show in play store . went to history to see it and says incompatible. So I did a dirty flash of same older ROM, same thing. So i did a full reset and installed lineage and same thing, incompatible. What am I missing?
Bad enough my nexus' rotation is broke, touch screen randomly doesn't take inputs, usb port broken, only charges and can't connect PC for files. Wireless charging randomly doesn't work and drains over night, etc. The one thing I had was some browsing and Netflix.
I had the same thing, the last update of Netflix it said it was incompatible and since then it doesn't show in the Play Store. Luckily I still have the previous version installed, but failing that you could try installing version 4.8.5 from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862715472

****ers. This did it meanwhile I thought my **** was broken bad.
Now lineage looks OK but typing in browser has 2 second delay before showing on screen.
Incidentally having looked further into the Netflix problem, apparently this is deliberate on Netflix's part; they've just decided not to allow installation on unlocked/rooted devices. At least they haven't blocked it entirely, I suppose, but I see lots of people threatening to close their Netflix accounts over it - most of the recent Play Store reviews are 1 or 2 stars because of it.
Yeah people are getting their accounts locked and banned due to this. Such a silly move from Netflix, classic corporate decision and they think it'll help stop piracy with offline downloads then people using root to grab them and upload them. Seems the long way to do it haha. If anything this will drive people to piracy, however we who root are a big niche so I doubt they'll care.
Magisk will get around this but you gotta be careful as if stuff updates then SafetyNet breaks and you open Netflix you'll be screwed. Or use an old apk like someone mentioned further up. Though this may turn server side soon.
it's because ur rooted. the netflix company has started blocking ppl from installing netflix to a rooted device or a device with an unlocked bootloader. idk most of whts going on but i think it has something to do with androids version of widevine. u can still get the latest netflix by sideloading the app from downloading an apk from a trusted source like apk mirror. hope i helped!
It was suggested I come over here and see what's going on. I've got a 5t with Oxygen.
I've never been able to get Android Auto to load, once. It always says "Something went wrong - Google Play services doesn't' seem to be working right now."
I can't Force Stop the Google Play services, or deactivate it. I've cleared my cache. I don't have a Android Device Management App installed either.
I enrolled and updated to the Google Play services Beta, but haven't still can't force stop it either.
Where do I go from here?
I don't know about this issue.
But I can say I use Android auto daily in my car and have no issues.
I have a Volkswagen caddy 2017 and use ob3
I sideloaded the app because it is not officially released in my country. I use version 3.0.
@dashbarron,
I have the exact same problem . I've also gone the play services beta route with no joy. I've tried literally every possible solution I've come across on the web, still no joy. I can't get past this.
Did you ever get AA to work? How?
Thanks!

I don't know if you have used Android auto before, so maybe you really like it and my advise maybe of no use to you. But while it is good to use, I soon reverted back to using split screen, top half for nav and bottom half to easily switch between music or radio or whatever else you want, even set up a YouTube video before you get going if it's something that doesn't require your focus on it, with gestures it's safer than messing around with the complicated controls in my car! And I have the plug in version of Android auto built into the car, I literally only plug it in when I have my daughter's on board so they can call out ok Google for whatever tune they want on. Anyway that's how I roll when driving and I'm driving all day everyday, hope maybe I saved u some time getting it working
