[Q] Market thinks my Hero is not compatible with apps

I installed CM 7.0.3 last Friday, I'm beginning to see more and more apps that say "installed" (from earlier) but trying to re-push them to my phone they now grey out my HTC Hero on Sprint saying the device isn't compatible.
I have the feeling this is an issue of the market assuming my HTC is stock and the newest builds of the apps are not compatible. Is there a way to indicate I'm using Android 2.3.3 so I can have Google Maps back?
I was able to get my Google Music beta as a .apk from someone and it installed fine manually and works great but was another just as above that wouldn't work through the market.

Hey I am having the same problem with the market not recognizing my hero. I am actually just looking for the google music beta app, =P so if you had a link I would appreciate that vmuch.

Look here

There is a copy of the music.apk but I believe you need to have the invite from Google Music Beta first before it will work. I had mine, loaded on PC went to my phone and was as I described above. Got the file from someone and loaded logged in and it works perfectly.
Thank you, I will try the links above

I would say that yes, that is affecting me, but I can't be the only one with a handset that wasn't designed to be running Gingerbread but is obviously compatible.
With all of the ROM community support of aging devices seems there must be a work around for this that is going to start to become a larger problem.
Making sure I make backups of my apps from now on seperately from my CWM recovery backups.

To get Google Music from the market, you have to edit your build.prop file. The instructions are in another thread. A simple search will find it.

change your buid.prop to say device is a "DROIDX", & youll have access to even more apps, & the google music app is in the cdma hero section for download, use the search

just cnanging the banner to droid x wont do it the apps that arnt available for are made for hdpi devices and tablets so when u try and instsall them itll say parse error

In your build.prop located in /system change your ro.opengles.version value from 65536 to 131072. So your end product looks like this: ro.opengles.version=131072

Can you edit that file with an app, or do you need to use adb? I tried using es file explorer but no dice, it's probably in use by the system eh?
Edit: forgot to enable root permissions for it...derp.

VVM/My Verizon/Flash 10.2 all for GB (Updated 7/20)

OK, so I'm putting these up all in one place. This way you can stop asking for them in various threads. I'll add others as I discover need to add them.
My Verizon only works on VZW based ROMs.
6/27 Only works with PlainJane v3 AFAIK 6/27. GB ROMs will need to wait for a new base leak most likely.
6/30 Update - Older version works again. Download MyVerizon.apk for the older version that works on most newer ROMs. the com.vzw.hss.myverizon-1.apk will only work on the MR2 based ROMs.
VVM (visual voicemail) - Works on all versions of everything as far as I know. It also fixes the notification issues that people are having with voicemails on bamf roms. (your account must have it enabled for it to work, $3 a month.) - Apparently doesn't work with the Thunderstick ROM or CM7 1.2. Not sure what got changed in this most current build, but it definitely broke VVM. Thunderstick has some conflicting files baked in that break it.
Flash 10.2 edited for use with hulu.com as well. If you don't use it for hulu you won't see any difference. CM7 users rejoice? Just make sure you don't accidentally update it via market or you'll lose in browser flash video again and need to re-install this.
If you're having issues with a particular file, please post what ROM you're running. I'm trying to narrow down possible culprit ROMs.
If these files help you, don't forget about the "Thanks" button
Enjoy.
6/25 - Re-uploaded VVM.apk since a couple people seem to be having issues with it. I even deleted it off my phone and re-downloaded it via this attachment to check to make sure it went through properly. Since there are only the 2 people commenting that it didn't work out of 100+ downloads of the file, I'm going to assume that something happened on your end not mine (make sure you have unknown sources checked in your application settings and/or re-download?), but re-uploaded and tested nonetheless.
6/26 - Had to pull My Verizon due to an update today that breaks it for us. No current working version known for Thunderbolt.
6/27 - Ok, so the structure is there in the MR2 froyo update (plainjane v3) so I'm putting the current apk up. I need to figure out what i need to strip out of MR2 to make it work for other ROMs.
6/29 - Added Skype
6/30 - Changed Skype File location to Fyels.com for more bandwidth.
6/30 - Re-Posted the older My Verizon APK. No idea what VZW is up to on their end, but it no longer prompts for update locking us out. We'll see how long that lasts.
7/5 - Fixed Broken link for skype. Added bold text to netflix description to make it more obvious that it doesn't work on unrooted/froyo phones...
7/8 - Added Flash 10.2 (is also edited for use with hulu.com) for CM7 users.
7/20 - Removed netflix. It is now natively supported.
7/20 - Updated VVM to newer build version.
8/5 - Removed skype. Natively supported.

Good post. Good idea.

My Verizon app not working on my stock T- bolt. Pop up says not supported on this device. Did you mean all *rooted* Verizon based ROMs?

This is great, and I'ma let you finish.... but where's the Hulu+? #kanyeshrug

Hulu plus is not currently supported on the tbolt (hence i won't put it in the op til then). If you want to mess with it, here's the apk. You can manage queues etc but you cannot play video. You will get a "device not supported yet" type error. You may be able to edit the build.prop to get it running by tricking it into thinking you have a different (supported) device but the idea to this thread is to not hack/edit things to get them working.

Not on the market for T-Bolt, and sorry...I missed the GB in the thread title (linked here from another thread).
At the risk of being accused of threadjacking, somebody saw my post and sent me a link for a MyVerizon app that works on a stock T-Bolt. (Thanks Zinsko!) So in case somebody makes the same mistake as me and wants the same answer, It's here

I don't trust apps that I don't pull myself. Someone in that thread noted that that apk got flagged by Norton (mine doesnt). Just a heads up.

I had my concerns, but my Lookout Mobile gave it a thumbs-up, and it seems to work as it's supposed to. But thanks for the warning.

Tried installing vvm but no dice...tried installing as a apk tried dropping in system app tried renaming it. all I get is app not installed do I need to change permissions?

Anyone have luck with the VVM APK? Can't get it to install at all. Using BAMF 2.1. Tried a straight APK install and just dropping it into the sytem/app folder via root explorer.

I see someone beat me too it
And yes, I did change permissions. Would really love to get this working, as I have to use VZW VVM for work. Thanks.

All I do is install it like anything else. Looks like this.
Make sure you have unknown sources checked. I'll reupload it when I get home if people are still having issues. I've installed it on every version of bamf that didn't include integrated Vvm and cm7.

Won't install or won't run?

I am very happy that this is thread came out cuz I've been tryin to leave Froyo but those 3 major apps were an issue w/GB and it looks like no more issues. Am on the latest Gingeritis and all those apps work anyway so I'll cnfirm the truth about this thread once I decide to test the other GB roms again. Great thread though OP. Much props to you. If you can somehow make the HTC messaging widget bug leave GB as well, You'd be even more of a hero

When I try to launch the My Verizon app on Bamf 3.0 RC3 it says there is an updated version of the My Verizon app in the market. If I select upgrade, it launches the market, but can not find the app. If I select cancel, it closes the My Verizon app. Is anyone else having this problem?

If you're on AOSP and want working Hulu+:
Remove your current apk and backup if you have one.
Clear cache and dalvic.
Restart your device.
Put the attached version in your titanium backup folder and restore app.
Sign in and enjoy!
I've been using this since 2.3.3 and currently running 2.3.7, it works beautifully.

Worked great on LG Revolution 2.3 (VS910ZV7) rooted

Thanks No.5 works on Nook Color through Titanium.

Come here for the Modded apk that works on any device. Does not require root or messing with any other files. Just install the regular way and off you go.

Thanks! a lot

This should work with any hdpi resolution device including the nexus one. I know it works on cm7 that is what I use.
The full all apps flashable needs to be updated though. Should be able to do that today sometime.

Just installed the Google+ and Google Reader apps and they look really great, thanks!
Do you have a twitter or something where you push notifications of updates? Or should we just keep regularly checking the website?

I will be getting something for that here soon. But right now just checking my site or the original post from the top link (I always post when new versions are available).

Ok I got a twitter and rss going now that will tell you about updates

The RSS will always update first it is what is feeding the twitter.
When I make any changes to apps or my site I will be posting updates here.

Terrific, subscribed

I flashed the latest all apps zip and it appears that the only app that flashed correctly was the music app. I tried to download the Google + app off your website, but it came up as a map file. I also tried extracting the zip and installing the apk and changing permissions. And through all this all I could get was the music app to take. All of this is on CM7 Nexus S 4G.
Edit: nevermind I went back to the original thread and saw that the original apps need to be removed first.

I have no clue what you did because there is no music app in this. The files will download as apk now. you can also just rename the .man files to .apk.

Yeah that is odd. Don't know why the music widget changed. I just ended up extracting the zip with root explorer and installed them one by one. These look great. Following you on twitter to see what you do next. Keep up the great work.

Looks nice! Downloading them all

i cant get any of the flashables to take. every .zip (talk, market and the whole set) says it installed, but nothing changes. not sure why. NexusS4g. i can install the ones that you've got there as apk only but the two system apps dont work.

For the system ones you will need an app like root explorer and copy them into the system/app folder and change the permissions then reboot. Make sure you delete the old ones first. If you are not familiar with the permissions it should look like this.

Thank you for the effort. The inverted translate has a small issue. In the top left corner there appears to be some writing that sits on top of itself. It says translate twice and you can barely read it. Has this been reported?

[APP] *WORKING* CM7 Mms.apk w/ CDMA SMS Split + Black for Stock Deodexed ROMs

*FULLY WORKING*
160 char SMS Split for CDMA Nexus S from CyanogenMod 7
I'd been looking for a fully working MMS.apk from Cyanogenmod to use on my stock, rooted, deodexed ROM for the Nexus S 4G, and I tried literally every mms.apk on the forum that claimed to support SMS Split, but none actually worked properly. In fact, all but one of them actually didn't have the SMS Split feature at all -- they had many extra CM7 features like switching between white/black, or changing the User Agent, but "Split SMS" simply did not display in the settings.
This version was the only one I found that really does split up the SMS's, but it is missing important features in conjunction with it, such as displaying all the different types of character & split counters, etc.
I finally stumbled across this post by s3v3nXDA, and that one worked. It's version 2.3.3 according to the built-in app manager, but I'm not aware of any real difference between it and 2.3.4 or 2.3.5, and in any event, it works great.
I decided to post this as its own page, because I presume many others have been on the same wild goose chase as I've been on. I also was not able to find a flashable ZIP for this working APK, so I made my own. Attached are the working files, both a flashable zip and an APK.
Download ZIP or Download APK
Directions:
For ZIP, boot into ClockworkMod Recovery, choose zip to flash, and flash CM7_MMS_160split.zip, clear cache partition & Dalvik cache, reboot.
For APK, backup/rename existing /system/app/mms.apk, then place the APK into /system/app/ using Root Explorer, ES File Manager, etc. May need to clear caches & reboot too.

Does MMS work with it? Hmm.. Especially curious with the Nexus S 4G.

So yeah, looks like it works send/receive MMS. I'm using pete's final GPA17 rom.

Can't seem to get this to work, I get force close on start up and when I open the Messaging app. Any idea? I'm using stock rooted rom GRJ90 deodexed.
Thanks
