some apps not compatible - Nexus 7 General

For example I had bought Swype Tablet keyboard and it installed perfectly fine on Samsung Galaxy tab 7+, While on nexus 7 it is showing it is not compatible. This happens with many applications. When Both are 7" tablets, why the difference?

I'm SwiftKey Flowing right now. What ROM are you using?

For awhile there after Swiftkey 4 was released it was listed as incompatible with the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10. It has since been fixed though..

I can't speak about Swiftkey but the real reason is that some apps are compatible with the latest firmware (4.2.2 as of this post) that the Nexus has while others lag behind.
Thus, those apps support the older firmware (in this case the version on your Galaxy Tab) but haven't been updated to work on the newest firmware.

I had a number of apps that ran on my Samsung Galaxy S3 that were incompatible. I used TB on the S3 to send latest backup to gmail then used TB on the Nexus to import it. The main one for me was OS Atlas Premium app, I just had to get it working on the 7" screen. The whole of the UK for the price of about £1.80.

I had this issue with a bunch of apps....as of right now, for some apps that I have on my Galaxy S3, if I search for those apps on my Nexus 7 and it says they're incompatible, what I do is.....on my phone I use the app manager built in to ES File Explorer, make a backup of the installed app, upload it to Box, then on my Nexus I open Box, and install said apps right from within the Box app! It's worked every time so far for me! Right now on my Nexus I have Citibank, Capital One, Auto Parts Warehouse, and some others that all claimed were "incompatible", but they're working just fine....no force closes or anything!

You can move from device to device with an app like wifi explorer. That'll save you needing to go through a cloud service. Personally I use Titanium Backup Pro since the backup can be set to include the app's data also.

Not sure how up to date it is, but isn't there a list of incompatible apps in the themes/apps thread?

There is, but it's either in the General or Q&A (haven't read it for a while). Should be easy to find. Not sure if there's one in themes/apps.

It only just updated on my phone.
Say, why can't I see all my apps that I've downloaded when I hit "My Apps" now? I only see the paid ones, it seems.

Same problem here, but it shows the missing apps as "installed " when I search for them like xda. I uninstalled the update and had it pushed again and I saw my apps listed but then it went away after an hour. My brothers nexus s doesn't so that. I wonder what's causing it, but not a big deal for me.

Yeah I'm not sure what's going on... kinda of frustrating not being able to see whether my other apps have updates or not.

my list of apps in the market has been randomly missing a lot of apps for at least a year. "Clear data" restores all the installed apps, but after a while some go missing again. I'm quite surprised that it still happens with the new market.
No new market here, though... still 2.3.6
If you have problems with missing apps try to delete the data in the apps settings. Opening the market again will result in again an acceptation of the terms and your apps will be there again...

I still haven't gotten my market update yet, although I am in Canada.
I wish I had the old market. The new one is sluggish and has a lot of "features" I don't need.
i agree... new market is bloated and sluggish... i liked the functionality of the older market (i can browse a LONG list of top free apps)
So, just flash the old market!!! Its much better than the new one

New Galaxy Note market not updating.

I just got my Galaxy Note today, switching from Galaxy S2 , everything works perfectly and I loved the massive screen very much,
One thing brothers me, the Note come with the old version Market, like my old S2 does but my S2 will auto update the Market to the newer version with revamped UI and stuffs but my Note doesn't do that, it still run the old UI Market.
Anyone have the same problem? any way to update the new market? Thanks
You can download the new one by downloading the apk from the app and games section (main section, not Note).

Turn on auto sync and wait a little while. Then go to Market and see if it updates.

Titanium Backup has a feature called Market Doctor which removes and/or attaches market links, effectively showing them or not within the market. I'm not entirely sure, but I believe it's a Pro-only feature, so making a new account may be better for you.
That doesn't work on 4.0.... makes it worse for me :/

I've run into this also, yes I have used some pirated apps, but really it was such a hassel to find working updated sometimes 2 or 3 daily, I just said screw it I can spare 3$ for the app. I tried a whole bunch of tricks, hacks, whatever. the one that has worked for me, is re-install lets say, your stock rom (or a Stock rom).
boot up, setup your 'current' google account, go strait to the market (google play, whatever), disable auto update, ad mobs, ect. download/purchase the apps you want. From my experience, its better to do this quick. google market seems to take a while to realize your phone, is on a new rom. its sort of hit or miss.
When you go back to your ICS rom, well your purchased apps should be well "purchased" for real.
on another note, be careful of some roms using Legit software, not to name any names but a few have "copyrighted" software. So if you installed one of those, your loose your chance to buy it when you want to.
my 2 cents.

I did it this way : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23569397&postcount=16
Have you tried simply using the web version on a desktop, or even from your phone's browser, then letting it get sent to your device when you sync? It may take a reboot or two, but this worked for me in the past. (Of course after uninstalling the app in question first.
I had this problem once when I tried to show my support for an app dev. I got a free version of Cut the Rope from GetJar and I wanted to convert to the Market version to support the dev. But Market on my phone kept on showing it as purchased, and wouldn't allow you to buy it anymore.
I uninstalled the app from my phone, backing up data with TI Backup. I then went to the web version of Android Market, and that thankfully showed that I had not purchased the Market version of the app.

Google pay wishlist!!!!

The wishlist feature just went live in the play store on my stock nexus 7. There is a bookmark looking icon in the upper right corner when you view an app, just touch it and it adds the app to your wishlist. Interesting, anybody else seen this yet? Or am I late to the party?

I didn't get it yet on mine (running ParanoidAndroid 2.2) but has anybody else gotten the ability in the list of all the apps that you have downloaded to remove apps from the list that aren't installed on any devices?
Ok, I discovered that if I have my Nexus 7 in tablet mode (160 DPI) it doesn't show the wishlist. If I set it back to phone mode (default DPI), it shows the wishlist.

I can only do it one at a time with tabletUI. It lets me long press on one app but when I do it to a second it cancels the first selection out.
You should be able to see the remove icon next to each individual item on the far right that way if multiple apps are spaced out too far just remove them one at a time.

It is on my Nexus 7 and SGS3 both, on the SGS3 you find it by touching the menu button on the bottom left of the phone next to the home button while on the play store home page.
If you don't have wishlist, also it's possible your Google Play has not updated versions yet. [New gapps package has latest Play version, or you could hunt down the .apk]

Final Fantasy V

Has anyone gotten this game to load? I'll touch the icon to launch the game, it'll sit there for a minute and then exit back to the home screen. No error message or anything. I sent a customer support email to Square Enix, but who knows how long that will take. Thought maybe someone here knew of the problem and how to fix it.
Thanks in advance!

Exposed is actually the problem. The newer square Enix games check for it and don't work if it is found. Not really sure why they do, but it started with version 1.0.3 of final fantasy dimensions, and it is also present in all versions of IV and V. You have to disable all modules and reboot for it to work.

I actually want to get the game on another device without re-downloading it. I bought the game on my phone because that's the only way I could get it charged to my AT&T phone bill, but I really wanted it to play on my Nexus 7 tablet. I just can't download the whole game again because my wifi sucks at my house. I don't have xposed on the Nexus, but I have Titanium Backup. I transferred the 3 TiBu files from my phone to my tablet and even the obb folder and put it in the obb folder under Android. I then ran Restore App + Data on the tablet. Now, whenever I tap the FFV icon on the tablet, it just hangs for a second and then goes straight to the home screen. I've used TiBu many times before and the method I just described has worked for every other app I've transferred from my phone to my tablet. I'm just confounded why it won't work with this app. Any other suggestions? You've already been a big help!

I think it has to do with the extra data the apply needs to download on first run. Titanium backup will backup the apk and save data, but it doesn't backup the usually 100+mb obb file stored on the sd card.
You could copy the file from:
sdcard/Android/obb/ com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFV_GP
to your computer and then transfer it to your other device and it should work.
Sent from my Verizon Galaxy Note 2 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
I did that. I have the folder: com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFV_GP in Android/obb and in that folder contains the 140.43MB file: main.105.com.square_enix.android_Google play.FFV_GP.obb. I also have the apk.gz, properties and tar.gz files in the TiBu folder. I then ran Restore App+Data in TiBu. It then goes through the install process and then when it's finished, I hit Open, the screen goes blank for a minute and then exits to home.
Like I said, I've done this with many games and apps before and it's never given me problems like this stupid game is right now. Who would've thought it would be so hard to try to relive a small piece of my childhood?

Do you have xposed installed?
Fix I found for it to work
I have had the same problem stated, Xposed installed and FFV black screen and returning to home screen.
Xposed is the problem, the fix I found is to move Xposed as a system app and any modules.
Works for me.
Had the same problem. The game worked fine stock ROM but stopped working i flashed the ARHD custom ROM for HOX+ loaded with exposed. Coudn't fix the issue. Now playing it on my DHD.
