App shows in Android market but not Nexus market

The app titled: "Scriptures (beta)" shows up in my G1's market, but does not in my Nexus' market.
Any ideas what's going on?

Did you do any of the following to your Nexus One:
1. Unlocked bootloader?
2. Enable root?
If so, "Scriptures (Beta)" is a *protected* Android application and will not show up.
If not, then it's a OS "support" version issue.
Cheers,

My new N1 is not unlocked/rooted, but my old G1 *is*. But it's the G1 that sees the app fine, and the new N1 does not.
Must be an OS support issue.
I downloaded the app directly from the author's website and it works fine.

Yup. If that's the case, the author needs to fix it and update it on Android Market.
It's annoying for us developers and the damn manifest and API target/limits when "new" stuff comes out... *Sigh*
Anyrate, good deal you got around it!

application compatibility
Your phone is listed as a 2.1 device in the market, and if the apps don't specify compatibility (they introduced a compatibility layer in 2.0.1) then they won't show up since they won't work anyway (well, they might, but the general assumption is that they won't)

I guess that explains why AppManager Pro isn't showing up for me on my N1. Annoying. I love that app.

This explains why, when people were talking about Nexus One Torch and I decided to see what it was, my G1 couldn't see it. Now I have a Nexus I can (and it's good )

There are some errors I think, because I want Bonsai Blast which I think I remember was demo'd by the Bonsai Blast google developer for either droid or 2.1. I think it was a demo for the new resolution, so I know it can't be that, and I don't think a google Dev would forget to update his extremely popular app.

Let the application owners know!
When the moto droid came out, I emailed a few developers and some even came out with an update the very next day!

can somebody e-mail the developer of Bonsai blast then please? or tell me his/her/their name(s)/email?

If we take the conservative assumption that it must be listed on the Google's own market place before it would work on Nexus, how many applications are available at the moment? Is there good statistics on that yet?
Perhaps most of them would work on Nexus one anyway? Love to hear from people who have tried using the applications written for the older OS version and see if they are generally still compatible. It's hard to imagine how a version upgrade would upset the older applications too much.

Really the only set-back is the resolution. All of the hardware has exponentially increased. All of Androids apps are written in java, which is pretty standard and should have no problem running on all android platforms.
The only time it should be disallowed would be if a game were to be written for the N1 specs (which cannot run on the G1), and therefore not shown in the market for the G1.
I suppose developers don't want their games to look too pixelated on the N1 until they update the resolutions. It's a waiting game now, since there are absolutely NO games available unless you want to play solitaire.
Or you could email the devs to death requesting an update...

[Q] Nexus Q apk?

for w/e reason it's not letting me find the app in Google Play. perhaps my ROM (AOPK)
does anyone know a way to get the apk? I just got my Nexus q
update:
I installed Jelly Bean and was able to download it

If the apk isn't locked to your device (with the encryption they announced at I/O) - can you post it? I'd love to have a peek inside!

Questions go in the Q&A section - not the Dev section

The google play description of the nexus q app claims that will work on anything with gingerbread and above, the app right now appears to only work and be listed for jelly bean devices

I installed a JellyBean Rom on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus for it to work.
here is the apk from a Titanium Backup it probably wont work lol but you never know
http://db.tt/Gf1AZApt

Thanks for posting the apk. I was unable to get it from the Play store as it's unavailable in Canada at the moment (seems silly, but whatever). I installed the app from your link and it works great! I'm listening to music on my Q as I type this.

glad to hear it actually works. I had my friend try it out on his G2x with no luck so I wasn't sure

What is yours android version?

Crud, I just bought a Q on E-Bay thinking I would get it quicker (it was also about $100 cheaper) than waiting for Google to ship me one but the APK won't install on my Bionic running the leaked ICS build. The Q application in the Play Store also says it's not compatible with either of my devices (the other being a Xoom running ICS) even though the description says it's compatible with Gingerbread and above. I assume that when the Q actually starts shipping they will fix this issue with the market application but my brilliant plan to get a Q sooner will be for naught!
I know its ridiculous but part of me is tempted to go buy a Nexus 7 or Galaxy Nexus off of Ebay so I'll have something to control this with when it gets here!

I would just wait or else buy a Galaxy Nexus. My kids have Galaxy Nexus phones so I just rooted theirs and installed JB to work with my Nexus Q. The original shipments of the Nexus Q were supposed to ship 2-3 weeks from Google I/O so the app should be available anytime.
I think it is dumb for Google to not have it available now. If I was a developer who got it free I would want to be able to try it out with my friends. After all it is supposed to be a social media device. It restricts the social aspect if it is only available on JB devices.

I wonder if they have it restricted to JB to try to prevent developers from selling theirs, if so I don't think it's working very well based on the number of them on eBay - LOL.
I'm going to be really bummed later this week when I get my Q and have nothing to control it with though.
I wonder if the problem is just the API level it's looking for or if there is something actually missing in ICS that prevents it from running properly with the current build.

Pretty sure it is somehow country specific in Play.
I was unable to install the apk to my JB Nexus 7 which I got at I/O. Being at home in Sweden. I was also unable to install it on my ICS Gnexus with a Telenor sim-card. I was however able to install it on my JB Gnexus (the one I got at I/O) which had my T-mobile sim-card.

I purchased two of these devices on ebay.
But I can't use them because I don't have JB device!
The above APK did not work on a rooted AT&T Galaxy Note with ICS.
I called and talked to google, and they said the non-JB package would be released when the product ships.

Just received the one I bought off of eBay and it sure is pretty - too bad I can't use it yet!
Any developer that can get the apk working on ICS before the official release from Google would get an automatic and significant donation from me (as well as my eternal gratitude)!

Despite my incredible lack of experience (absolutely 0) I did manage to get the apk to install on a couple ICS devices after modifying the manifest, rebuilding, resigning and re validating it (I will add my thanks to all the people's tools I used to do this later, I promise!!). I have it running on my unlocked and rooted LTE Xoom with the released ICS build and my Bionic running locked and unrooted leaked ICS. Both are a bit flakey however and both are telling me I need to update the Play Music application even though I've manually upgraded both to the 4.3.605 build. I did manage to get them to go through the network setup page and say it connected, showed services as Movies and YouTube but then both show it unavailable. I've reset the Q a couple of times and went back through the setup but so far I still can't manage it from either device. Right now my brain is cooked so I'll have to try it again tomorrow afternoon! Thanks for everyone here for their amazing contributions, I really hope the Q becomes a legend in Android history (in a very good way).

Ok, this is the APK on my rooted Verizon GNex, I'm using a ROM with JB to control my Q.
Hope it helps...

Well, I'm still stuck in the same place as yesterday but I decided to upload my modified APK in case anyone wants to try it on their ICS device.
WARNING!! I don't know what I'm doing and only managed to get this far thanks to awesome tools from others - use this file at your own risk!!!!!!!!!
If anyone can look at this thing and figure out why it won't let me connect to the Q after initial connection that would be awesome but I'm guessing that's not very likely either.
Thanks to: Kornyone his awesome work so far and telling me that changing the manifest got it working on his ICS device, Raziel123x for the Apk Multi-tool I used to sign this after modifying it and to iBotPeaches and Brut.all for the apktools. I apologize if I'm making you look bad with my unsuccessful efforts to use your excellent work.

Well, I've made a little bit of progress as I can now connect to the Q and change some rudimentary settings like HDMI, Optical, Brightness, etc. but it still tells me I need to upgrade the Play Music application, takes me to the Play Store and that of course tells me I have the latest build. Neither the Play Music or YouTube applications have the little button at the top to make it play on the Q. I also don't see anywhere to enable USB debugging as some others have been able to do, I was going to unlock it but can't access it via ADB without debugging turned on. Am I just missing that option somewhere else in the menu? It's not covered in the help topics at all.
I'm slightly pleased with myself for even getting it to install and connect but now I'm stuck again. :crying:
Any suggestions (other than buying a JB device or just waiting for the official app from el goog)?

[Q] Multiple Windows on Nexus 7?

I was wondering if our Nexus 7 can also run multiple windows at the same time just like Galaxy Tab 2 and Note 2. I havnt found any rom yet which supports such thing and some people are saying, an official update would fix that. Is there any chance we can have that on our Nexus 7?

Could you explain what you mean by "windows"? Are you talking about Touchwiz apps?
Edit: also, put Qs in the Q+A section. Actually, someone just asked this (coincidence)?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974476

There's apps on the play store that supports multi-windows like the note 2. There's a app called "OverSkreen (floating browser)" but it doesn't have support for jelly bean yet.

The OP is referring to the TouchWiz feature of running 2 apps side-by-side. This feature was heavily advertised on the Note 2. I think it is called Multitasking (lame name, I know).
I hadn't heard anything specifically related to the N7, but I did hear that it was part of the TouchWiz framework and it probably wouldn't be available on AOSP ROMs. I am waiting to be corrected though

App compatibility out the box

I have had my note 10.1 since xmas and have left it alone as far as rooting and roms go unlike my Note and Note 2, I have found a good few apps including games which will not work sometimes ones that the market says are compatible with the Note 10.1.
I find it strange that some apps will work on the smaller notes but not the 10.1 is due to it being a tablet design?
Any one else had any issues or has any who has upgraded to JB found that apps that didnt work now do?
I would love to now your thoughs.

I havent found anything incompatible. What are you having issues with?

Touch Detective was the last one i couldnt run?

All my apps work including many from SGS3.
jje

delete - Sorry misread. I'm not on jelly bean

Could someone try out Touch Detective it is free and on play store so i can see wether my issue is device specific?

I can't get Heroes of Order and Chaos for example and a couple more that I don't remember.
I tried to edit the device name in the build.prop but no success...
Edit: Play Store says that my phone (Nexus One) and tablet (8013) are compatible

Does any one know if other devices usse the same type of processor?

I think the GS3 international, Note 2 and Note 10.1 have the same GPU Mali 400.

My Nook reader did not work on 4.1.1 but does on 4.1.2, go figure.

Hopefuly when i upgrade to JB tonight it will solve some of my issues with apps.
As bigger screens and tablets become more common hopful JB being the latest os is more big screen friendly.
And yes i have looked into it and the note, note 2 and 10.1 all have Samsungs Exynos processor????

Office for Android Tablets Preview

Well, it looks like Microsoft is finally inching closer towards releasing Microsoft Office for Android tablets, and I'm sure quite a lot of you with Note Pro 12.2" tablets would be interested to try it out.
(sorry, can't post links yet, but just google for 'office android tablet', there is a lot of information released on news sites in the last 24 hours.)
Unfortunately, the preview sign-up says they are only supporting tablets 7" - 10.1"
I tried signing up for a preview and chose 10.1" but when it asked for the tablet model I chose other and typed in "Samsung Galaxy Note Pro"... I guess I might get rejected
Can anyone share their experiences if they've been able to get the preview running on the Note Pro?

try this apk
edit: wrong apk, sorry

I grabbed the apk off my phone and dropped on my P900; it's working great but only in portrait mode. I tried to force it into landscape mode ( I'm on CM11 ) and it completely crashed the tablet, so ... If you want to try it, grab "MyAppSharer" to isolate the apk file for exporting.

Can someone please post the apk's? I am a beta tester but use a nvidia shield tablet... Won't let me download..
Thanks
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using XDA Free mobile app

Also a beta tester
Im also a beta tester but don't have a device to take the apk. from. Has anyone figure out a way to download the apk if u don't have a eligible device.

I've tried several ways, no luck so far. It's driving me nuts as the Note 10.1 2014 works with it and our resolutions are identical.

Worked awesome. Very nice for a beta. Perfect for the 12.2.

Here's the link to the newest Office for MS Android APK installable on Note 12. It's available free so it's not warez. Some tinkering to get in in Landscape may be required. Enjoy.

Not sure you will get the automatic updates to office if downloaded from that site.

That's the old crappy version (15), not version 16 beta which is what this thread is about.

Seems the latest beta supports our tablet without having to side load. Just download it from the play store like normal.

Yup, the Beta from the 16th allowed for screens larger than 10.1". Some people are reporting that you MUST have Office 365 to edit docs with the latest beta *IF* your screen is over 10.1". While many are complaining about it, this is consistent with their policy for Windows tablets. With Windows tablets, the cutoff is 9". iPads ...... well they are no "laptop replacement" tablets yet so it's free on all of them.
It's rather annoying, but not a deal breaker for me. I ran out and picked up a 4 year university subscription as I currently qualify for it. The latest preview runs smoothly, but at the moment I still honestly prefer HWord.

Not finding it.
