[Q] Google play issue -- This version isn't compatible with your device - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have 2 I897s.
The one running cm 10.1.3 gives the "This version isn't compatible with your device" message in play store for apps like BBM.
The other is running cm 10.1.3RC2 and has no problem downloading apps.
I read a few post that suggested changing the build.prop file. I changed all reference in the file from I897 to t999. This didn't work. I looked at the build.prop for the I897 that has no issue with app download and it had I897 in the file.
Any ideas what the issue could be? What other things should I look at to compare the 2 phones? Would different kernels or bootloaders have anything to do with this?

I had the same error and I was advised to check my OS version. I realized it's outdated. Try upgrading your OS.

Flash woes

Alright Y'all, I've attempted searching for the thread for the past week. I can't find the HW accelerated flash apk anywhere. I've tried uninstalling the and reinstalling the markets flash 11. I just can't get flash to work on the nookcolor. Can anyone help me out? I'm now on nightly 211 an still have no working flash. My YouTube works though, but any web link or video in the Pulse app wont show up, or if it does it'll say no flashplayer installed. Flash 11 settings comes up w a get flash logo, and click on it and permission to access market denied?

try flash 10, works perfect on my nook cm7. Although I changed build to nexus s and got flash 10 I saw on my wifes unmodded build.prop she had 11
just tried hers and 11 is working. We are on nightly 208
BTW, you can get the Barnes & Nobile Flash 10.1 out of the stock ROM 1.3 archive in a thread in the android development forum. Just open it up in a archive problem (it's a zip file) and get the .apk out of the apps folder. You can easily install this on CM7.
Hardware acceleration is almost useless though. It is extremely picky about which videos will actually play in hardware because the Nook only plays some kinds of H.264 videos on its DSP. So there isn't a lot to gain by using an older version of Flash. Flash is just not a very efficient app and it is too much for the Nook a lot of the time.
Also, the versions prior to 10.3 don't properly let you select different video resolutions because the option box doesn't work right with a touch screen.
Ah. Thank you very much

App not working with version

I had stock gingerbread on phone, now I cannot install certain apps since we are so far behind in the game. Went to promethius and found out that they are 2.3.5, is there a way to trick store to try and download something?

You can just download the app on your PC and transfer it to your phone and install it. There is a reason they don't allow you to download apps meant for later versions though. So don't expect them to work properly if you do so. Also, you may want to look for earlier version of the application instead of downloading the latest from the market as the earlier ones may be compatible with Gingerbread, but lack new features and bug fixes the newer versions will have. Hope this helped.

Chrome problems
Ok so after reflashing AMBP rc2 over the top of matts homebake 31002 i can't install chrome on m xt890 GB. I did use 39001 to flashboot after getting flashboot failures from that sdcard modded img that was posted. So i'm thinking it has to be becasue of the updated 39001 radio which is now on my handset ( From what i know you can't revert this)
In google play for Chrome & google plus it is showing that device is not compatible, see attached screenshot
So after getting it to sideload (which doesn't always get through) upon loading I get
"Critical functionality required to run Chrome is missing; either your Chrome installation is incomplete, or not compatible with this version of Android" then FCs. At first look google plus seems to run ok once sideloaded.
So how can i fix it? Device id in build.prop looks the same as the stock info. Keen to get this resolved so i can use chrome again. Prefer to stay on AMBP but might have to try stock homebake or even 39001 again so i can get chrome running as i prefer it to ICS browser.
Thanks!

Edit: Also should mention is shows incompatible on the PC browser google play too, so can't get it sent via there either. Is there 2 APKs one intel one arm? can i get a link for the intel one if so.
after looking into it, its caused by running a non standard DPI. I've got my hands on a work around and its all good. Nothing to do with certain builds on rom just DPI.

Parse Error

I just received my HTC One today and trying to set it up. I have a whole load of 3rd party APKs that I had downloaded for my SG S3 and trying to install on my HTC One. I get the same error message every time -
Parse Error
There was a problem while parsing the package.
I had this problem on 4.1.2 and then updated to 4.2.2 and exact same problem. These files work fine on the S3.
Unlocked Bootloader, not rooted
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Colin
What apps are they?
Typically this occurs when you try to install uninstallable apps like system apps.
Also if someone screwed with the app and didn't repackage it properly it could occur

Various types, all like normal apps but perhaps themed, older versions, or homebrews. Various sources, all work in other phones e.g. S3
My brother has a HTC One too and exact same problem.

Using "All 4" app with CyanogenMod 12.1 - "Missing software components"?

Using "All 4" app with CyanogenMod 12.1 - "Missing software components"?
Hi,
I recently purchased my first Android device in the form of an Android Fire 7 (2015) tablet. I really didn't like the stock OS, and so I've installed CyanogenMod 12.1, which is much better! Everything is working great - I've got ADB and fastboot working via Terminal on my Mac, I've got a Terminal emulator running with root access on the device, and I've downloaded a bunch of apps.
My only problem is with the "All 4" app - an app created by a UK TV network with the purpose of catching up on TV. I used this app on the stock OS, so I know it works, but ever since installing CyanogenMod it's been troublesome. On first launch, it gave me a warning about my tablet "Missing some software components" (I didn't get this on the stock OS) and after acknowledging that message, it told me that rooted devices aren't supported and that I may experience some issues.
I removed the root using SuperSU complete uninstall, and now I don't get the root error, but still the missing components. I've tried searching around for some solutions, and other users have claimed that simply hiding their root fixes the problem, however I've tried this, too, and still no luck.
Is it possible to dual boot the stock OS and CyanogenMod - so that I could only use stock for apps that wont work on CG? Is it something to do with DRM? Is there another fix?
If anyone can help me resolve this it would make CyanogenMod the perfect OS for my tablet!
Thanks in advance...
I've got the exact same problem. Missing software components and it won't play anything. So annoying! I wanna know how to fix, I've also turned root off.
I doubt you can dual boot. The system partition isn't big enough is it?
