I have my ouya rooted. I downloaded an app called usb otg helper which works nice mounting all my harddrive in different formats. But the free version wont auto mount only the paid version. I tried using the paid version but I get an error message saying it cant connect to server. Hope theres some trick to get this to work. I just sideloaded the app through es file manager.
If it's an app that was paid for on the play store, the developer can build in drm to authenticate with Google that it's been paid for by the currently logged in Google account. Currently it's not possible to install Google services on the Ouya, you're out of luck till that happens.... Sadly a pirated version of the paid app may have that drm stripped.

I actually thought about not asking this but there's a thread on trying to hack google play store on this so I figured it would be ok.

They're not really "hacking" the play store if you actually read the thread. They are trying to get the play store to work on the ouya so you could use paid apps like the one you asked about here

Engadget recently posted about a Chrome extension called APK Downloader. It allows you to download the APK for any app on the market, including those that may be blocked by your carrier. My first thought was to try Google Wallet for my T-Mo Nexus S. I was able to get it installed and add the prepaid card. I haven't had a chance to try a purchase yet, though. Let me know if it works for you.
I can't post links yet but just search APK Downloader on Engadget for info on where to download it from
After I got APK Downloader installed in Chrome, I googled "Google Wallet site: play.google.com" and then used the extension to download the APK to my Dropbox so I could quickly access it from my phone.
If anyone has a chance to do this and make a purchase, let me know. I'll give it a shot tomorrow

Just used wallet successfully
I can confirm that the above method worked for me. I was able to install the app, add the prepaid card, and successfully buy something with it.
I have not tested this on a non-rooted phone, although I imagine it could work since you do not need to be rooted to install an APK outside of the Play Store.
One other note for rooted users, there is a persistent banner on the app that says "Unsupported Device. Learn more." This means exactly what it says. It is unsupported so the Google Wallet devs aren't obligated to help you if you are rooted and have problems with the app. This does not mean that the app will not work.
One more update: it looks like after installing the app in this way, it shows up in the "my apps" section of the Play Store, allowing you to update it (providing it's an update that doesn't break it for root users).

It's due to the regional and carrier settings. In the US, I believe its only available for the Sprint Nexus S 4G, and not available for anyone else. This method allows everyone else to update and install google wallet.
Hey,
Thanks for this link - I managed to get the app installed (i9020 bought unbranded, on T-Mobile UK, totally stock unrooted 4.0.4).
However, when I start the app up, I still get the "this app is not supported in your country / on your network" error.
I guess it's because I'm in the UK? Any way to get around this?
Thanks,
Suman

As a Canadian I have yet to find a way to do this short of driving 30mins to the border, hopping on a US network and trying then. Might need to switch sims as well.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Hmm, ok... so does the device permanently have to be on a "supported" network for the Wallet application to load up, or does it just need to get activated first?
I have an old AT&T GoPhone SIM somewhere (in my crypts!) which I could possibly use in the phone, but I don't know if roaming would work...
Will have to give it a go and see what happens!
Try market enabler and spoofing to T-Mobile US, you need root though
Works for me

Hey,
That's cool - do you use it pay for stuff randomly then? Are you using the Google card or a Citi card? Tell me everything!
My device is totally stock and unrooted and currently locked bootloader - do you have a step by step guide for how to get Market Enabler working?

I'm in the UK and my Nexus is a completely stock i9020T running 4.0.4. The app doesn't open properly because "my country is not supported" but I can still download from the stock Play Store app :S

After the recent update to google search, it has become incompatible with our galaxy mini. Youtube has the same problem. But there is a separate thread for youtube here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846009 . If some one has the last working version, please post here. I recently switched back to stock rom from cm10 (great rom anyway!) by TheWhisp and now as I had to wipe data and cache, I am having a very old version. If someone has the last working version please post it here. Any help will be appreciated and thanked.

What is 1mobile market?
they are supported no need to protest
Google play include many criteria in determining app compatibility and sometimes one or two thing don't meet the requirement and server thinks that mobile is compatible but in actual they works
1mobile market is another app store for android like amazon.com which only contains free apps, it do not check for compatible so no problem in downloading

Hey guys, just wanna ask, what is Google Play Service, it just installed itself after rebooting my phone. What does it do? I checked it on the Play Store but all the reviews' talking about a game, I can't even open it and it's not on my drawer. Can someone please explain? Thanks
Google developers said:
Google Play services is a platform delivered by the Google Play Store that offers integration with Google products, such as Google+, in Android apps. The Google Play services platform consists of a services component that runs on the device and a thin client library that you package with your app.

So basically, it's a component to let apps access your google+ easily.

Well, I have no idea why they are talking like as if it's a game with levels or something... But the description of the app clearly states:
Google Play services - Google services for Android apps
Google Play services lets Android apps from the Google Play Store integrate with Google+ and Google Accounts. To work correctly, some apps may require Google Play services to be present and up to date.
Google Play services is usually updated automatically on Android devices. You can also install or update it manually from the Google Play Store.

So, idk why they're all spouting nonsense about that.
I guess Google Play Service is responsible for making fast updates to installed apps. Now you don't need to download the whole app again in order to update. It just takes only the updated part and not whole app. This is especially helpful when updating big games. Anyways its just my assumption, though I'm not sure about it.

hello all,
I rooted my xperia z and installed market enabler. Unfortunately i'm still getting my countries market place rather than the usa.
I tried VPN with no use.
Any suggestions on how to access different markets?

WTH is market enabler? And what Rom are you using.
Did you try to uninstall or force close Play Store from settings and clear cache before using the VPN? I suppose when you first do what I said and then connect to a VPN app, afterwards open Play Store it should be the country your VPN's IP is connected to.
Force Close Play Store from settings, clear cache, activate VPN, open Play Store.
Try it, it should work.
Edit: it works, can download Netflix now etc.

That's really strange, it worked for me. I know it's not ideal but you can download the APK file from the net and then install it. Drawback is that you'll have to update manually.
Try restarting your phone and then do the process I told you before. And if you're willing to, try resetting the phone and then do the process.
Good luck.

I ran it from the play store with no issues. One thing I have is from my wifes Xiaomi phone, there is an app called Google Installer, it allows you to install all the google related framworks as apps. You could try that. Apk is attached. Don't know i it will work. Its designed to install Google services on phones that do not have it preinstalled. Give it a whirl and let me know if it works.
