Market Issue (Device Not Compatible)

Hello everyone. I have nook color which is rooted running the latest CM7 nightly on internal memory. I tried to download Word with friend for the android market and noticed that the Download button was missing. I went though the web site and I was given the message "Device Not Compatible". I have had a similar problem downloading the Netflix app. It doesn't even show up in my market, I have to install the apk myself. I know there is a Build.prop file I can adjust but it doesn't effect the market. Any thoughts? Thank in advanced.
Also my device shows up in the android market web site as BN Nook color

The market is now "device aware" so if the Nook is not supported (or basically tested to work with the Nook) by the developer it will either not show up or the download button will be greyed out. You either have to sideload an .apk or mask the Nook as a different device.

Once in a while, I can't download certain apps to my CM7 NC. I don't know why.
For instance, USA Today won't download on my NOOK

Change your lcd density
Are you running your device at a strange lcd density? that might have something to do with it. Try changing it to something like 240 and then changing it back.

[Q] Play store does not update automatically

Hello,
since recently my play store does not update my apps automatically anymore. Manually it works fine as I can see my apps require update but this should work on its own.
Using Dirty Unicorns ROM and iirc the update worked before but just recently it stopped somehow. I tried to clear cache and delete data for the play store app but did not change anything.

Maybe the update automatically setting in play store is turned off?

Nope, although in many cases it may be the most obvious solution but I checked already

What Gapps are you using ?
I can see that DU includes TRDS, a Slimkat rom feature.
We do have the same problem on Slimkat, it's due to the modified playstore included in the slim gapps (the one modified so it can change from white to black with the TRDS feature).
Download this : (it's safe, it comes from android police and i used it myself)
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23487008491963661
and install it.
You will get the latest playstore, unmodified, and things will be fixed (apps auto update).
The only downside is that your playstore won't be black anymore, even if TRDS is switched to on...

Device not compatible in play store, why? Should be compatible

Hi,
I have a Nexus 7 (2012) wifi-only model and want to install printoid (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.yochi76.printoid.phones.trial) on it. But the Google play store keeps telling me my device isn't compatible... I don't understand why.
I have an even older tablet (galaxy tab 1 7") where its working without issues, a bit slow though. And I know the developer of the application also has the same Nexus model and can install it without any problems. I installed the APK by sideloading it, runs without any problems, just can't download it from the store.
Some facts
Google Play services = version 11.7.44
Google Play store = version 8.4.18.V-all
Tried Android 5.1.1 (XenonHD ROM) and my device is rooted
Tried the stock rom 5.1.1, even un-rooted and locked it
Tried lineageOS 7.1
What could be causing this?

Probably the developer himself has forbidden the installation of the application on this device. Either in the application manifest contains the necessary (not optional) permissions, because of which the device was automatically excluded from the list of devices. I also from time to time come across applications (even from Google) that can not be installed with Google Play. But nevertheless, they work fine if you manually install the apk.
Just use https://apkpure.com/ for such cases.

Thanks @gmikhail, didnt know the apkpure site, handy. I had contact with the developer and he has the same device. He can install without any problems, which makes it even more strange.
Rather use it from the play store, makes updating easier.

@nosmo-king The app is not available for me too. So the problem is exactly on the developer's side. Let it go to the device list and manually recheck device.
In Google Play Console -> Select app -> Release Management -> Device Catalog -> Find Nexus 7 2012. There should be written why the device is not supported.
PS: apkpure supports auto-update.

Good to know I am not the only one, thanks for checking.
I replied to the developer, I hope he can do something...
Good to know about apkpure, unfortunately the PRO version is not available. Probably because its not free

The Play Store just un-rooted my HD8/deleted SuperSU, w/out my permission - WTF?? ?

I'm angry/confused - has anyone else had this happen to their device?
Last night, I sat down and rooted one of my 2017 HD8 tablets, following the damn-amazing Experimental Software Root method as recently uncovered and shared with us by @diplomatic. I then installed SuperSU (from the damn Play store!) to take the root from temporary to permanent.
I spent the last 24 hours FINALLY being able to use my Fire tablet as a semi-solid/functional personal computing device, finally able to really setup the device to perform as I need it to, and I've been very happy with how everything turned out.
Well, I just came back to my desk to find a message from "Play Protect," (a feature/service I ALWAYS turn off in Play Store settings, on all of my devices):
App Removed by Play Protect: SuperSU
This app can allow unauthorized access to your data or device.
(see images attached).
I checked and no longer have root status. Also, now I can't install any .apk files whatsoever. WTF??!
I downloaded SuperSU... FROM THE PLAY STORE...! The app is listed and available for installation from/by the Play Store (see attached photo).
So, I guess now I will just re-root and hope in the future Google chills the F out/gets their creepy little hands out of my device/data. Maybe I should freeze the Play Store/Play Services? I just wanted to see if anyone else had ever had this happen to them/if there is a recommended solution. SO annoying!!! ??‼?‼??
(pardon my grumpiness/I feel a little bit better now, post vent ?)

Ok - I'll stop whining now... ?
I was able to recover root by simply reinstalling "SuperSU" from the Play Store. Hopefully it was just a fluke and everything will stay where it should be.

I had a similar experience today when updating some apps I got from the Google Play Store. During the updates, it deleted my SuperSU with no warning or asking permission. Luckily, it didn't affect my root as far as I can tell. I too got SuperSU from the Play Store. It is DEFINITELY annoying !

Two things when installing play store. Always good to 1) immediately turn off auto updates the second you sign in. 2) turn off play protect.
As soon as play services updates, all apps will start to update if they are allowed. So make sure to look at 'my apps', and make sure none are stuck in que. If so, tap 'stop all'.

I am having the exact same issue. Nothing seems to be working no matter what I disable. it keeps removing supersu
Has anyone tried anything that works?

Try SuperSU v2.79. Grab it from this post here. Playstore has problems with V2.82

Just don't update from the play store unless you downloaded it there and if you do update, do so manually by downloading standalone apk and installing it through documents or a root explorer. I'm trying to work on a fix for this version in some form. We can't flash it unless you use the modified version on the stock rom thread because we aren't quite 64 bit yet. Flashing the standard zip will bootloop. So I've been experimenting with a totally manual install, including rooting the boot.img so when the apk is installed it doesn't perform the auto install embedded into it. So far, though I don't really know yet, it appears to be a success. One of the issues, I think, was the installation of the 64 bit library file. Either it install it, but in the regular lib folder, or doesn't install it at all or does install but doesn't set proper permissions (guesswork). So I added the necessary files by unpacking and repacking the boot.img. This is not a final version.I'm, but If anyone is interested in trying it out I can upload the boot.img.

Installing apps like TFT

Hello there,
so I just revived my old Nexus 2012 wifi model and wanted to try to run TFT on it and maybe some Anime stuff(which is working perfectly fine like it did back then). Now I'm running into the problem that both the playstore and the apk install wizard(or just installer?) tells me that my device is incompatible.
I tried to install the app through Aptoide and I tried to change the build.prop to make it look like it's my OnePlus6 but it's not working. The Playstore still refuses to list the app and when I try to install it through Aptoide I get the incompatible error when installing.
Does anyone know a way to resolve the issue?
I'm currently running on 7.1.1 nAOSPRom, I thought about testing another rom but the system is running kinda smooth overall which is not how I remembered the tablet to be when I last used it like 3 years ago xD
