When i go to download my paid apps from Google play store it tells me they are not compatible but the apps are compatible with jellybean. I had no problem downloading them with the stock ROM that came with my nexus7. What do i need to do to get that fixed so i can download my apps and not get that message telling me the apps are not compatible? I'm using the pure ROM but right now I'm back on stock wanting to reinstall the pure ROM if i can get the know how to fix it. I don't have that issue with the roms cm10s and kangs.

Your question might be better asked by the whomever is making the Pure Rom itself. Obviously, there is something different that is making the Play Store think it is not compatible. The dev that put that ROM together should know what that might be.

I've had my Fascinate for a few days now and absolutely love it.
So far I've been running stock. I've replaced TW with launcher Pro, hidden Verizon bloatware and rooted my phone. Bing isn't an issue because my homepage is set to Google. Should I stay on stock hoping that I'll get the 2.2 OTA soon or should I dive in and install custom ROMS?
What would be my primary benefits if I install custom ROMS? Any disadvantages?
I apologize if this question has been asked before. I tried searching the first few pages but couldn't find anything.
no replies?
I recommend you install clockworkmod, download rom manager,and buy the premium license, and use it to make a backup of your stock rom, then in rom manager you can download many roms, kernels and themes, and if you have any problem you can always use your backups to gwt back to where you want, just stay away drom vodoo, anyways when we get feoyo, we will get a costumized froyo rom from our fine developers here at Xda

I for one am very disappointed with samsung for droping the ball with the vibrant...and I found this amazing sounding rom(Nero v3 TouchWiz Edition) that I am thinking about flashing to.
My question is will I be able to keep all my data and apps and whatnot...and if I get ROM Manager (Premium) will I be able to recieve updates for Nero v3 TouchWiz Edition via OTA? And last but not least: When I receive the update will I have to re install all my apps and stuff everytime?
Get titanium backup premium and rom manager. Make sure you back up all your apps and youre golden. When you flash a rom your sd card isnt effected you can restore all your apps and data. Google also has a record of the apps you downloaded. Titanium is just easier and can reload data. I think youll find flashibf roms great. I have been doing it a month and am not looking back. Good luck. Be sure to check out the vibrant bible on the vibrant development section. Loads of help.

You won't get OTA updates for a custom rom, but if you flash back to stock, you will.

I mean like "Receive notifications for when your ROM is updated!" on like Rom manager or something not the stock rom
You wont get ota via rom manager unless the dev supports ota on rom manager. i think the only dev using ota or updates on rom manager is sonofskywalker. team whiskey in my opinion has the best roms.

OK I got my hd2 at a place that would install android and also get my hd2 working on simple mobile at the same time, and so far it has been great but I'm having some issues with the battery life report (it never resets how long it has been unplugged) and also a newer version of my the Tom that I am on has been released. Be I want to move to either that or cyanogen mod 7. My issue is how exactly do I flash a different ron and after I do it how do I get it working right again on simple mobile?
Kinda a noob but I have rooted and installed custom roms on all of my families devices including a evolution, a Droid global and a Samsung intercept?

Well first off, if you payed someone to install android I suggest you do and demand your money back as its free software. Secondly, to install a new rom you have to either use the DAT.exe that comes with your rom, or if you have a ZIP file, put that on your SD card and boot into clockwork recovery and flash it that way. Simple mobile is just a network provider so your phone should still work perfectly. However, as im not american (and where I live all providers use the same signals) I dont really know.
who says he paid for android? he paid for the persons time to install android by the sounds of it
you should read the guides on how to flash etc plenty of information there
Well my isssue was making sure it would work properly on simple ( although they do use T-Mobiles network)
So nobody here knows what to do?
Shouldn't it just be having the right similar and changing a few settings?

...thats what they are saying, read the stickies and use the search function. All you need todo is boot into MAGDLR and flash a new ROM from the DAT.exe file that most NAND builds of Android come with. Simple Mobile is just your carrier, and you will need to enter in their APN settings once you flash a new ROM in order to get data but other than that your phone should work fine.
Hi, the reason i ask is because when i sideload apps from my n7 to my xperia play, they install fine. When i try to do it to my brothers phone (its not the best of phones tbh) it always says app not installed.
So i just wondered what the reason could be? And could this be overcome by rooting and manually installing it?
Thanks
Not yet. Android Jelly Bean 4.2 will though. Read about it on google.
I mean check hardware specs ect, not the actual app for malware
I know this is a bit off topic.. But some apps will soon be verified by your device id. This is the same id that google wallet uses. It will make it so when you but a app on one device you can NOT install it on another.Ti Backup already has a built in way to help with this during back up restore.
The above is only from what i have read and is likely not totally true as its not implemented yet so who really knows .

It's because the phone is not compatible with what you are trying to install (either in hardware or minimum Android OS version).
Is the app you are trying to install offered to the phone on the official Google marketplace? If not, then there is a reason why.....

Nope, its not offered, but sometimes they can work when not offered.
I was just wondering if that was simply the reason, or if the apps generally cant install on a phone without specific specs, i.e android version X or multitouch
Thanks for the answer
i forgot about this.. I have used aptoide to side load a few apps that i know work on nexus 7 but in the play store show not compatible..This is not meant to Pirate apps.. I used this to install a messenger app that would not install and a few games that i have purchased...
Im getting a Nexus 7 for christmas and im wondering if i decide to root the nexus 7 is it possible to go back to stock as its not amobile phone i cant think it would be to hard because i love the stock jelly bean 4.2 system but im wanting paranoid rom so i can get table ui on the nexus 7 but if i dont like it can i just go back to the stcok jelly bean rom?? (nexus 7 has been bought from offical google website)
Thanks Guys
George

This doesn't even matter, all the devs have the official ota update before it comes out due to Google dropping the source before they actually push it out.
Way better to root, you'll have the updates faster that way.

IF you do only one thing, unlock the bootloader before getting lived in on the device. I am rocking stock rooted myself. I am just watching till after cm10.1 hits stable then Ill try some roms out
While I personally prefer stock (with modifications of course) on my N7, it is trivial to revert these devices back to stock, or any other ROM, if you want to. You don't even need to revert and upgrade - you could just download the latest FULL image and flash your device that way, skipping the update step altogether.
But if updates are your only concern, I imagine most of the ROM developers would incorporate the new version into their ROMs very soon after the OTA drops.

This.
Even if you don't run a custom rom initially, if the bootloader is unlocked, you can easily flash a custom recovery and rom later. The problem is that if you unlock all the internal storage gets wiped which is not the end of the world if you backup first but it's still a minor inconvenience.

paranoid is great, but depends what you like. I love it fit the tablet interface and customization options. stock 4.2 had a lot of the same customization built in, so it's awesome as well.

To me, its custom ROM or bust.

Multi ROM
you may want to use Multi ROM.
Root your stock ROM.
Install Custom Recovery to install Multi ROM.
After installing Multi ROM, you may now install other or more ROMs inside.
Also, you have the option to auto-boot from stock ROM or from other ROM.
With that, you may access your stock ROM without removing your custom ROMs and vice versa.
Goodluck!
I unlocked and rooted my nexus 7 so that I could use otg cable---> a flash drive … I have extra storage now. Just download an app called stick mount an your all set...
Rooting should be the first thing you should do. As others said you can keep it stock if you want. Only difference is you get to install apps like titanium backup and file managers like root explorer. You also will have a custom recovery so you can backup your latest STABLE and smooth ROM so you can revert back if you ever run into trouble like the 4.2 OTA debacle.
As far as any maintenance and fixing issues... having root makes it a breeze as factory resets just mean in 10 minutes you are back in businesses, you just need redo your screens.
I took the plunge and after rooting I installed this: [EXPERIMENTAL] MultiROM v3
Now I'm running stock along with a few other ROMS, including Ubuntu.
