[Q] Do other ROMs allow new apps to be installed? - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The Galaxy Ace normally doesn't support apps like Temple Run and such because of its hardware and OS. In some places I heard that upgrading to jelly bean would've allowed more compatibility. But I still can't even look up the apps on the Play store. Isn't there anything I can do to run previously incompatible apps on my Ace?

No. You can only look for some ported versions if the app only support armv7. If a app only support android 4.0 and up a update will help.

I see. Is there a reliable place for ported apps? If not, how can you be sure of which ones will work? I saw a guy post an APK for Temple Run claiming it worked on his Ace, but when I tried the app kept closing saying that it can't run.

Look into the Galaxy Ace apps and themes thread, especially here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161054
Maybe you also can find some ported apps in the Android Games and Apps thread.

App not compatible with your device

Hello XDA and fellow Tab2 users,
Play store lets me download and install apps. How ever some apps, when started on mij P5110 tab, give the message 'app not compatible with your device'
Most of the times these apps are games. For example PES12.
Is this an known isseu and is there an workarround for this?
I red something about the compatebility of apps with android 4.03?
Thanks in advance..
Greetings,
Senzas

Please say on what rom you are, for further help.
whatsapp isnt compatible,too.
European Stock rom ICS 4.03, rooted. (rooted or unrooterd, no different outcome within this issue)
Those apps.. working fine one the previous version of Galaxy Tab 10.1
So I think is has something to do with the version of android 4.03
The different thing with whatsapp is, that play store tells me in advance that its not compatible with my device, so i cant download it. Those other apps i can download and they start. After start up the message appears.

That's odd, because my P5110 device with stock rooted ROM let me install and play PES12.
However I know what you mean. Recently I bought NFL Pro 2012, but right after the installation a pop-up message told me this game wasn't compatible with my device.
I figured that it has something to do with CM9 which my device ran at that moment. I haven't re-installed this game after I went to stock again, but when I do I share my findings.
[EDIT] Still don't manage to install the game. There is a pop-up telling me to request a refund so I will contact the developer.
Maybe its the entry in the build.prop? I think the app doesnt recognize the device as ok, thats because it works on different roms.
Just an idea...

If ICS is not possible yet...

If ICS is not possible due to camera issue then why not go for HONEYCOMB?
Seriously guys..whats wrong in it? As there are many roms with tablet mode or hybrid ones, so why not one rom with android 3 too. Giving us pure n incompromised version? After all drivers for android 3 is available.:highfive:
NOTE for mods : Plz move it to a section where it suits if posted in wrong section.

Mod edit - keep your information informative, not insulting.
ICS and honeycomb were a big update, even if honeycomb is tablet only, it would have the same problems as ICS, so it wouldn't be even opotimized for a phone or fully functional, so is better to stick with ICS, on that same thing the camera issue is not because of the version, is because of the camera drivers, so we would have the same problem of the camera even if we tried to adapt I dunno cupcake or any other version, is a driver issue not a version issue
No phone ever got honeycomb ported.
Why now? Moreover it was quite buggy.
Mod edit - keep your information informative, not insulting.
No. My friend go port on samsung jet. But no buttons work. So its useless. Cant call or do anything.

Impossible, honeycomb is made for tablets. A lot more harder than Ics to port to OB... Please think a little and search before posting this type of questions.

Well the ui is portable... but you CANT use the whole ROM, as it is. I think there is a theme somewhere in apps and theme section. But that theme is for a specific ROM.

Click to expand...

I see many people with concerns about all the permissions apps require. You have to understand that android tries to protect you when you install apps. Unless an app asks for permission it won't be able to do much. It has to ask to be able to read your files, write to save your data, camera to take pictures, Internet to access the outside world. From a developer perspective it can be annoying to make sure you've asked for all of rhe right permissions for your app to run because they can be so granular, which from your side looks like they want to take over your phone.

What is your objection to using xposed? It's a wonderful situation for one-off situations like this, instead of a system-wide forced change.

Tips for a pleasant XDA:
Search before asking. Someone has likely already asked.
Spell your words completely, and use punctuation. It confuses people when you use "u" and "ur" and "dat", or when you wrongly use "there/their/they're/your/you're".
Be nice. Don't be rude, just move on to another post without leaving a comment. We are not 7 years old.
And PLEASE, do not ask for the "best" anything. We all have our preferences.
