today i wanted to buy Animating Touch from PC market but it says not compatible device. how can i change HD2 name for example to Desire HD?
thanks
have search a lot and get nothing
Since this new market i have the same problem! "Your device is not compatible". With lots of apps. At least, the new facebook app is not installable due to this restriction.
Any ideas how to fix that little problem?

You have two options:
1- Forget about installing most apps (as most of the apps are incompatible with our "Androided HD2")
2- Remove the new market, and install the old one (v 2.X.X.XX) and use market enabler + edit build.prop to match the device's compatibility.
Thx man, i'll try this tomorrow!!

Here is the old market:
https://sites.google.com/site/droidlife35/home/android_market.apk?attredirects=0
install normally, and freeze market updater using Titanium Backup Pro or remove "MarketUpdater.apk" from /system/app/ (after making a backup) then go to settings>app>manage>market>uninstall updates.
And the build.prop is located in your phone in /system/
edit the following lines:
Code:
ro.product.model=
ro.product.brand=
ro.product.name=
ro.product.device=
ro.product.board=
ro.product.manufacturer=
to match the ones on the device you want to disguise as.
market enabler can be found in the market (requires root)

What does the new market use to determine compatibility? It sounds like it used to use SIM + build.prop data, but now uses something else. IMEI maybe?
It looks like the apps just specify which features they use and the market determines if your device supports all those features. Which leads me to think that the market either has some profile for the HD2 or we are being evaluated using some "default" profile for unknown devices. Given this, is it know what features the market thinks the HD2 supports vs. does not support? Is there a way to get Google to update (or create) the profile for the HD2?
Thanks

Yeah I think that's just it. It looks for device's identity(in build.prop), LCD Density and SIM's number.
Hi I'm pretty new to this and I don't really know how to get rid of the marketupdater.apk. I have the AmeriCan Android SD method for HD2, any help would be great!
Thanks.

Hey guys I just got a Rogers Dream....running through these forums it seems to be the latest build of android
firmware:1.5
kernel: 2.6.27-9something
build:1.85.631.5
my problem is there is no on screen keyboard for it like the magic, is there any way to install it as an app? or where to find such and app? canada does notyet support $ apps
One question, is it enabled?
Go to Settings => Locale & text and make sure that Android Keyboard (or something similar) has a checkmark next to it.
there is no option on this phone for it under that address there is only the option "device keyboard" which only allows me to modify auto complete, capitalize and such seems this phone does not have it loaded on it
wow..unbelievable
Tell me about it I assumed that they were the same platform so the software would be interchangeable I guess its because no one would buy the magic if the dream had both keyboards....anyway anyone know where I can dowload a good on screen keyboard?
u might just have to modd the os....n get one of these roms....
can't you just install the keyboards found here as an apk? There is a thread started by funbacon which has a KB- key.apk and i know i have previously installed it as an apk (ie. just using app installer0- no special instructions)...... give that a go.
There's a bunch of virtual keyboards on the market. Just download one.

how do you install the .apk file without having root access??? currently there is no way to root the Rogers versions. I've read that AppsInstaller can install .apk files, but can AppsInstaller be installed on non-rooted devices? or at least Rogers ones (which are different than other G1s?)
well the file posted worked perfectly I'm not going to mess with the ROM on this phone i just installed it using the appsinstaller application so i guess your misinformed about the phone being rooted to install .apk's i have done several already. Since I'm in canada we don't have access to many of the good apps is there a place where I can download .apk files?

Hi,
I've patched my market with this patch :
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831782
Some apps that weren't showing are now showing on the market but a lot are missing
I can't find Paypal app and all the Up-Front Works apps (Androlib does not say they are no longer available (bit.ly/cR6tfA))
My provider is SFR (France)
A friend who has a wildfire and used the same patch can see these apps on his market (His provider is Orange (France))
Is there a way to get these apps on my phone ?
Thanks
Try: Market Enabler. It is an .apk file that you just have to transfer to your SD, and then install it from your preferred file manager.
Make sure you also do this;
[from Sympnotics Thread]
".....4 - After flashing the market, you still can't see more apps ? You'll need to go to "Settings", from there go to Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> find the Market app ==> Purge its datas & caches......"
This has worked 200% of the time for me, W I T H O U T fail.
I can see more applications with MarketEnabler but not those I need.
I also erased the market data and nothing has changed

Hi dude, there's a topic for this kind of questions (which is the one you downloaded the patch on) that's a better place to answer/ask questions and keep a trace of it for other people and to keep this forum "clean".
That being said, I just updated the thread, and I can see paypal without using MarketEnabler, I'm on SFR too. Flash the V4, check if it's blue, search for paypal, if you still can't see it, post a reply.

Sooo, any specific app here, or are you referring to the market apk itself?

I had this problem when I published an app, so I monkied around with it until I figured it out. When I disabled copy protection on my app, suddenly it was compatible with my device (Sony Xperia Play) and I was able to install through the android market.
Copy protection is now deprecated and is being replaced with a new licensing feature, so assuming licensing doesn't have the same bug this problem will in theory be phased out.
So if you are a developer and some people can't see your app, disable copy protection and use licensing instead. I also suggest using the Android SDK built in ProGuard feature to obfuscate (scramble) your code to make it harder to reverse engineer.
Hmmmm. it seems that my problems with Android Market was due to the DPI change which I made - the display density.
I changed my HTC Desire back from 200 dpi to the default value if 200 dpi, after that I cleared Android Market data and cache and restarted the phone.
After that on Android Market the problem with the "This item is not compatible with your device" error on some applications was fixed.
P.S. For changeing the display density you can use one of this apps from the Market: LCD Density or LCD Density Changer
Download the nook tweaks and nook odds and ends apps from the market.then go to display settings in one of the apps,I forget which,and change LCD density to160 reboot try then

I get this on many apps including facebook. They all say they need to be updated but when I try to update they complain. I'll try to upgrade to the latest nightly when I find some free time.

You may want to avoid the latest as it has a few issues. 7.1 stable would be a better choice.

I'm using HTC HD2 with haldricc's Rom "SENSATION XL V 3.0 stock ALL IN ONE (marc v0.1.8 ker)".
I have the same problem, I cannot install some applications. Once I find the apk file, I installed it and worked but not thru market.
THe solution does not fit in my problem since my lcd density is already 240. I guess every application looks for some parameters.
Any solution for me ?
thanks

Any update on this ? I'm running stock 1.4.3 with ManuelNooter 5 and I'm getting that dreaded compatibility message for "Subsonic Music Streamer"
Hello ;
How i solve this ?
When using the Android Market website, a device will be grayed out if it isn’t compatible with the app you’re attempting to install. Most commonly, this occurs because the app isn’t designed for your device's screen size or version of Android.
HELP !!!!!

-build.prop file with dalvik.vm.heapsize=70m and the ro.build.fingerprint changed to that of a nexus s.(this should allow you to see ALL the apps in the market)
Hi guys
I am using a HTC Desire HD and I can not find the application in the market place.
So i've checked android market on my PC, I can see the natwest app but it is telling me that my device is not compatible. Any ideas?
Can I get hold of the APK from my brothers phone who is able to download it fine on his Galaxy S2?
Thanks!
It looks pretty cool. I need to save money so it would be good to have something to constantly remind me of how poor I am. I'm in Japan so I wouldn't be able to use it or install it from here.
I'm curious if you can install the APK and get it running. Root Explorer (File Manager) is the type of app which will easily find it probably in the data/app folder.
Seeing as it's a free app, if you can get the apk please pm me. I'd like to try it too just out of curiosity.
Have you modified your LCD density in your build.prop? Try changing it back to 240 then install from the market.
Hi Guys,
I have the exact same problem. Running Desire HD with AR 6.1.3. I am having problems downloading this app and a few others. I have tried the following with no luck.
- Changed LCD Density to 160 and cleared market data and cache
- Changed LCD Density to 240 and cleared market data and cache
- Used LCD Resolution to set the density instead of Rom Toolkit and repeated the steps above.
I am currently using market version 3.1.6 but have tried downgrading to market 3.1.5 but this did not help, also tried all of the above combinations whilst resetting the google services framework with no luck. (told this may help)
I do not understand the checks that the market / google perform on each device to determine compatibility but would it be possible they are checking for root via the SU command - maybe this was a condition of natwest being a secure app? (I have heard they have done this with google video)
This is the only app that I really need, and cant find an apk!
Thanks for any help!

True, but I wouldn't suggest installing a Banking app from anywhere other than the Android Market.
@alex-qts - Did you reboot between making the changes? AFAIK the only what the market would know if you had root was if it requested root, and you accepted it. I could be wrong.

I rebooted after every screen change, but each time I go to install I get the same yellow incompatibility bar and no download button. Strange thing is - I was also having this same issue for the autotrader app, and the LCD density / clear cache trick has worked for that app, but not the natwest? strange.

I had exactly this problem and also wanted to install this only from the Market.
I have had success by following these instructions to change the build fingerprint to something that is supported. I use ARHD 6.1.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18147141&postcount=53120
If it works then credit to wjsturgis3.
It contains the following edit to build.prop which fixes the market issue. The existing ro.build.fingerprint line is replaced with the following:
# Switch fingerprint when there is a US release of 2.3.5
# Original
# ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_ace/ace:2.3.5/GRJ90/150597.1:user/release-keys
# Modified for better Market access
ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_ace/ace:2.3.3/GRI40/87995:user/release-keys
Rebooted and I was then able to download directly from the Market and have just passed security and it's working a treat.

That includes the fingerprint fix but I wouldn't use it as it also has some other items which you may not want, such as Advanced Power Menu.
To do it yourself - You need to be rooted, take a nandroid backup, and then take a copy of the original build.prop file found in /system/ - then just edit the original using ES File Explorer and the built in ES Note Editor to include the new fingerprint line:-
ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_ace/ace:2.3.3/GRI40/87995:user/release-keys
AND put a # symbol at the beginning of the old ro.build.fingerprint line to comment it out. Still useful for future reference.
Reboot and it should work, but just for completeness, I also cleared the data from the Market in Settings>Applications.
Hope this helps,
John
thanks guys I can confirm that editing the build.prop file works! I now have the natwest app!
I simply used the following command to copy the build.prop file onto my computer, then edited and copied back to system folder using root explorer (renamed old build.prop that was in the system root)
adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop
Sorry if my instructions are not great, but it was my first time editing the build.prop file.
Thanks Again!

If that reads anything other than 240 your DPI has been changed.
Many thanks for the help, mine says 240.
What does it actually mean? Is it the resolution? Is it noticeable if I set it to 200, and will everything else still work ok?
