Allows you to manage APP installed via the website and have them pushed to your Android devices. Not sure if anyone has looked at it yet.
Im on Bonsai ROM with Market version 2.2.11 and its not working for me. The website finds my Epic but apps don't get pushed to my phone when I click install. Is there a newer version I need?
I havent I'm not by a computer but I'm interested though....
Is it like the app store on itunes?
I'm tired of updating my phone and not having acess to certain apps
This would take all the pain away!

Worked for me, but I'm on stock.
Wasn't that one of the features of Gingerbread? It thought they mentioned that at the Froyo push last year.
They actually first showed this off last year at the Froyo event.
Getting SERVER NOT FOUND error?
I was able to use this today successfully. I remotely installed 3 apps, with absolutely no problems. It recognized all the programs already on my phone.
I'm on Nebula 1.0.7, so stock is not required
I'm on ViperROM 4.0.2c and am able to use it. The thing I like the most about it is that it has kept track of all the applications I've installed (which isn't the case when I flash my ROM). So I can reinstall the APPs throught he market. (yes the market keeps track of my purchased APPs, just not the rest of them via the phone.
It also makes installing the same APPs to multiple devices at the same time via the same Google account very easy.
I am on Quantom 2.7 and the website just doesn't see my phone at all. Wonderful.
are you guys just going to market.google.com??? I can't get to it from my computers.

Google the term "market"
Thank you.
And for anyone else reading this, the correct website is:
https://market.android.com/
I'm running Nebula and when I go to the web market, all of my apps that I've downloaded are there, but it won't recognize my epic. Anyone else found a fix for this?
Works on the current nightly of Cyanogenmod 6.
Shows the list of currently installed applications, and the instant I told it to add Angry Birds (not that I'm interested) my phone began the download.
Awesome.
Combined with the way all apps reinstall after a new flash, I should not need to use the crappy on-phone application again!

Well, I just flashed to a new ROM and am now once again having trouble with the sync.
My market.android.com list shows like 20+ applications, but Bonsai ROM downloaded 2 and acts like it is done. I'm going to have to go down the list and search for each of them now. Or maybe I'll try the same from market.android.com
EDIT it's working, but the list of installed apps on the phone's Market won't even update...
Time to say "goodbye" to appbrain. Finally.
Oh nice
Thanks for the tip. I was able to use my computer to browse the market and it was able to see my installed apps ok. I am running stock DI18.

Says no phone associated with my account even though I can see my market history. I'll chalk it up ito being a new service and not fully up and running yet.
Is there a way to get missing apps to show up in the Android Market? I just did a search for Tumblr/Flickr/Gameloft and their main apps don't show up in the market. Any ways around it or possibly tricking the market into thinking I have a valid device to use these apps?
there are so many threads about this - i can't count them
basically the kf is for the android marked an unsupported device
therefor some apps are missing - you have to sideload them or google for a site where the apk is available
wouldn't editing the build.prop file to include a different device fingerprint from say, a similar high end tablet work?
I did something similar a while back with my droid 1 - spoofed a high phone's build.prop fingerprint, got on the market and got the app I wanted, then changed the fingerprint back.
it should be noted that I did this twice, and on one occasion when I changed the fingerprint back the second app refused to load because it checked device compatibility at startup... but if your app doesnt do that, then you should be home free.
(I'm new to the KF and still getting caught up on the forums, so apologies if this has already been debunked as unfeasible on the KF)
some guys have tried that (i also) - you get troubles with all the amazon apps, because it's no longer a kindle fire - in this case you can go to cm7 also - there it's the same
Sorry for the re-posting the question I guess I didn't see it, but I was thinking about changing the Build.Prop just wasn't sure if any one else had tried it yet. So even with CM7, we will still have a problem?
you don't have a problem - but you don't have a kindle - with cm7 it's like any other android tablet
Curious about this too... Sideloading is a pita.
I remember back in the old samsung moment days we had the same problem but it went away with the first of the custom roms. I already tried to modify the build.prop file with samsung galaxy device info and it didn't work. Hopefully someone will find the magic piece of code...
If you've noticed, the unlisted apps just so happen to be the ones that aren't compatible with your device. Use the browser based store and you'll see.

If you've noticed, almost every app people sideload works on the kindle. The only thing I've tried to install that didn't was launcher pro and I knew that wouldn't work before I tried it. I was just hoping...
I'd like to be the one that decides what works and what doesn't...
as i said - the kf is a unsupported device for the android market
it is great that it is now displayed as kindle fire - that was not in the beginning
google is shurely not interested to support the amazon device in any way because amazon built its own market
so every app that checks the device is not available, regardless if the app would be working or not
there are some apps on the market where the free version is not shown up but the paid version is

It's not as simple as that. For example Skype is available on the Market place, but without a camera or mic it's about as much use as errr a helicopter ejector seat.
However none of the Google suite are available, or even twitter! These are core apps and work just fine on the Kindle!
On the other hand, I've had to download Google Maps, Twitter etc. which all work fine on the KF, but are not in the market.
I don't mind doing that, but it seems that since they don't show up in your market application list, they won't get updated or show needing update. Frankly I'm not sure how I would update to the newer version without seeing the update on my Samsung Galaxy S2, and then searching for and installing the apk file manually.
Ive had issues with unlisted apps mainly, I do get the odd one that.works, but I prefer ones that work for certain flawlessly.

are you guys running CM7 or the KF firmware? some of the apps you guys are talking about(twitter) show up just fine in CM7, but coincidentally, some apps still don't show up or are listed as incompatible(NBA Gametime 2011-2012 for example), which work fine if you're able to get an apk and sideload them
I am on CM7 and there are quite a few games, primarily Gameloft games, that will not play once sideloaded even though they played fine on the stock ROM. Gameloft Customer Support has said this was an issue that was being addressed in future updates, so we will see.
To clarify: Some of the apks are games I had loaded on the original Amazon ROM and saved to a backup. Some are specific to kindle (ie title includes Kindle Fire version) and fail to even so much as start without FCing. Others state that the device is not compatible.
do this, and all of your wishes will come true:

I've been struggling with this issue today, and just found the "solution" so I wanted to post it here in case anyone else has this problem.
Cause:
No Apps in the Market were updating, including stock Google Apps (including Google Maps!)
Every App - Including Ones that were installed on my phone would get a "your device is not compatible" error message.
Solution:
Change the Density size back to stock 240. Clear the data of the Android Market, and then everything should be running again.
Final Comments:
This was driving me nuts because I've had my density size at 260 since day one with my Atrix, and now this has become an issue "when it was never an issue before". Anywhoo... I updated all my apps, and then changed my Density back to 260 because I hate small icons/fonts.
Like I said this is a new issue that's never happened to me before, and possibly other Atrix owners may have the same issue, so hopefully this writeup may help somebody else out...
I think I remember encountering this issue before and got frustrated and just started everything over. Ill keep this in mind for future reference though, thanks!

NP... Believe me I've tried EVERY solution that I could think of over the past 2 weeks on and off. When I finally figured it out and got things working, I dropped everything that I had going on and wrote that up.
Knowing that it helped at least one person made it all worth while...

A similar issue happened to me. A month ago i bought SimCity Deluxe, then i change my Rom and the Android Market said to me that this game was not compatible with my phone. The problem is that now it is not compatible with every Rom I flash, stock also.
density should be @240 not 260

having this issue with Block Breaker 3. just wondering if anyone knows how to alter build.prop for Atrix 4G to work around this annoying issue.
EDIT: solved.
edit build.prop (I used Rom Toolbox Pro), change the following (and ONLY the following):
ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.brand=Samsung
however. once I got my game(s) working, I realized WHY my device isn't compatible: the display size (resolution) is too big. d'oh!

While 240 is a standard density, the Atrix screen is actually 275ppi. The moar you know.
thank you for the solution, i run into this exact issue time to time when i switch to a different ROM. I had this recently on the new Neutrino ROM with Instagram, but if i logged into google play through the web on pc, i could install Instagram with no issues. Only on the phone in the google play store it would tell me my device isn't compatible but it would still install if i did it through the google play website.
This is actually an issue that HP Touchpad users have been trying to figure out. Basically, the Android Market only likes specific DPIs to make things easier on app developers. So if its not 120, 160, 240 or 320 things break. IMO its stupid since good coding practices should allow an app to cleanly scale, but Google apparently feels otherwise.
It is possible to patch the market to work on other densities, but I've had no luck finding a patched version of the most current market.
I had hoped this was my problem, but alas didn't work. This worked for Navigon update, but for google maps it says my device isn't compatible, which of course it is. It actually doesn't even see that I've got Maps installed anymore.

I had that issue happen to me when I updated to 3.5.15. What I ended having to do was first uninstall all market updates. Then I replace vending.apk in the system/app directory with an older version and set the permissions to rwer--r-- (normally it would be rw-r--r--, but it wouldn't work for me). After that reboot the phone. Then go back to the vending.apk you placed in the system/app directory and change the permissions back to the way they were before you changed them. Next you should be able to launch the market and it should update to the play store after a few minutes. All my google apps were recognized again.
Fix
1. Go into Settings, Apps, All
2. Find Google Play - Clear Data
3. Find Google Services Framework - Clear Data
Should be OK now
If not, Install Market Enabler, redo above - then fake USA market once and should be OK.
So, I used SuperOneClick on my Kindle Fire and it worked great. I've installed GoLauncherEx and I'm up and running mostly fine. What I've found strange is that, while I was able to find certain apps when searching on Google Play and install them on my Atrix, I can't seem to find all the apps when I do the same on my Kindle Fire. A couple examples of this are: Google Maps and Any.Do. Even when I directly search for these by typing in their exact name they're not on the list that shows. I have tried to install apps that 'aren't compatible with this device', but I guess I'm not surprised seeing the KF is not a full blown smart phone. Still, Google Maps and my Any.Do (a task list program) shouldn't give me trouble. Is there some setting that I'm missing? Has anyone run into this also? Thanks!

You need to edit your build.prop
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Yup. Just need to edit your device ID on your build.prop. Nice and simple.
Google just may be your best friend
If you don't want to edit the build prop flashing a new rom like gede or modaco are already modified to look like galaxy nexus and galaxy tab respectively. Then you can get maps because the kindle does not have built in GPS so it won't show up. Though those roms allow network gps. Hope this helps

Currently running v6.3.1. So, I guess I just have a stock rooted KF. Correct me if I'm wrong, thanks!
Before I posted here I watched the noob movie and I also looked on google for a solution. There are many different posts and I wasn't sure which would be good to use. Realistically, from what I found (even after searching on this forum too), many people are just saying to 'edit your build.prop'. That's great but edit it to what? Yeah, I understand that I need to change the manufacturer and model, but what are some actual examples so I get the format/syntax correct? Maybe I need to learn to use search better, but I'm surprised there's not a sticky for build.prop examples and the communities responses to those examples so we can build on what others have experimented with (and big thanks to those people!).
I'm also interested in installing CM7 seeing that seems to be a good way to go also. But there's lots of reading to begin to understand what's going on with all that. It's in process...
Thanks.
updated ROM. Done and done.
Took the leap and installed the most recent build of gedeROM. Took just a few minutes and all was done. POOF! All my problems got solved, at least those Android related. Nice work, Devs!
Thanks for the help!
Ok so I got a replacement N7 today and I wanted to reinstall my previous apps.
I didn't want to go through the tedious job of going through the N7's Play store and selecting each app to install again.
So I went online on my laptop to the play store. It changed some, now it shows pictures of my devices and what's installed on them
There is my N7, but it looks like it's my previous unit. I see the apps i had installed in the list as installed apps. So I go into each and try to reinstall them on my new N7. It won't says I already have them installed..
I removed them, go to my phone's image and proceed to reinstall the apps in that list to my N7, again can't they are already installed.
Ok, how do I reset that?
I went to the play store on my computer, selected my Android apps, then clicked all the apps that were on my old nexus 7. Then I went through and selected to install them on my new one.

Did the sad thing but when I would select my nexus 7 it said it was already installed and wouldn't let me. I had to change the name of My previous unit. Reset my new unit and set it up again. It then showed up as another nexus 7 on my account and it allowed me to reinstall.

I'm in the process of getting a replacement due to the screen creaking and slow to respond to screen taps issues.
Not sure if this will work but I'm planning to archive my Apps with a Back Up program and temporarily copy teh back up file to Dropbox until I get my new one. I'll then install the back up programe and, move the file back and then restore
May be (i) a sledgehammer to crack a nut or (b) doomed to failure but it works in my head
Google sucks with their app management. On the play site, you can't get to page 21 (really, a search company can't code it to display more than 20 pages...) of your apps and it lists every app you've ever installed on any device. The best way I found when I was first installing everything was to flip the nexus 7 landscape and it had the tablet interface. That way I could pick the apps to install and not have to re-scroll through the entire list of apps from the top every time I chose one to install.

True that... what's with shopping being on a drop down menu? I use google to price stuff, you'd think they'd want to make using them for that type of revenue searching easier.
