I've been having an issue with way too many apps being not compatible. The only thing I've done to my phone is root with an insecure kernel and flash a Clockwork recovery. The stuff that works works fine, but I can't play Angry Birds (not that I want to, just an example). Anybody else having this issue or know why I'll having it? The latest I found is the new Google maps. I can't even find it on the market now.
Angry Birds all 3 versions of it works fine in our phone
there's a detailed long list of all the games that work or don't work in the Apps & Themes section
you need to be more specific about what doesn't work, error and behaviour
else there's no much we can do to help you
or perhaps just flash to another ROM, make sure to clean and wipe before you do
did u touch the lcd density of ur phone??? if so set it back to default and that should fix it if u did
LCD density. Didn't even think of that. That'll be my fix, thanks.

Hey,
I tried to change my lcd density but i noticed some games were not working anymore, so i changed it back to the standard density of 240.
But now the games still won't work. All i see is a white screen.
I thougt reinstalling the ROM would fix this problem,
but what is the easiest way to install a new rom without having to install all my apps and settings again.?
I don't understand anything of this backup tutorials
atm i'm running a custom ROM, so i have root and s-off.

If you flash the rom without doing a wipe ect all your apps will still be there..
So just boot into recovery and flash the rom....this wont delete your apps.
No point doing a backup this time as things are messed up..
When you have a working rom..boot into recovery and selected back up...this will make a complete back up of your phone....every single thing...from your rom, kernel, apps, widgets, wallpaper...everything....This is a good thing to do if you get into problems as you have done.......then you can just boot into recovery and select restore and everything is back to the way it was.....hope that helps.
Thanks for the info!
So, i flashed a new ROM but the 2 games that didn't work before the flash are still not working
The games are: Abduction! 2 and Gem Miner: Dig Deeper
And i know the LCD Density messed things up, but now i can't revert it
Seems your only solution would be a full wipe followed by flashing a ROM.

Then you have no choice but to wipe/factory reset, wipe dalvik, battery stats all through clockwork and re flash the rom....
Before you do that though you could backup your apps using titanium babckup from the market...leave the broken ones of course

I take it that you have gone into application manager, cleared the apps data, uninstalled and then reinstalled the apps. If not then I would try this first.
Ok... so this is the case:
I have backupped all the apps+data and android settings with titanium backup
(I also made a full nandroid backup to be sure)
Then i did a full wipe and installed a new rom, gem miner was working fine again.
But after restoring the other apps and settings with titanium backup gem miner didn't work anymore.
So.. 1 of the 293 files I backupped and restored causes the games to fail.. But i have no idea what file i should restore to the original one.
I searched for 'lcd' and 'screen' in the list but didn't find anything.
Somebody knows what file i have to restore from the original rom?

Well clearly you know the proper code if you've gotten so far as it not finding the accelerometer. I've only had this happen to me once, and I think it was a combination of doing the terminal command and trying the built in calibration. Either way, I was unable to find a manual way of fixing it besides wiping data 3X and re-flashing. I did not have to go back to stock, however.

If I wipe will that erase my apps?
Alright I did what you told me and it worked but now whenever I try to download an app from the android market it just force closes I tried wiping the cache and data for the app but I still didn't work is there a fix for that?
I fixed the market and thank you for all your help

Once you have your phone happy, you may want to look into MyBackup Root. It's a great program for backing up all of your apps and their data. Or you can pick and choose which ones you wish to back up, and likewise choose which to reinstall. It's very useful. However, if you're switching Roms at any point, do not backup and restore Android and System settings across two different Roms as you'll likely encounter issues.

[Q] app is Your device is not compatible with this item when it is :(
Ok so I tried searching and the only answers I could come up with were for a different rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11626645&postcount=425) as the video said I'm a noob I hate myself, it's right lol. But I can't seem to figure this out. Before I dive in I want to know if it's similar for my current ROM to these steps. I don't want to screw anything up I tried clearing the market data, and checking the adult filter. None of that helped.
Phone is HTC DHD Telus is the provider, So I rooted to Android_Revolution_HD-4G_6.1.5 without any problem. Flashed over to the suggested radio. Phone seems to be working good and fast but I can't install the app. It ran on my phone before I rooted... what am I doing wrong. Even when I find it not through the market. It takes me to the market and says "Your device is not compatible with this item" and I know that's a load of crap. If there's someone smarter then me out there (so pretty much anyone) Help please

I'm having same problems with other apps and an earlyer version of ARHD(6.1.2). Would sure like to know how to resolve this. I'm thinking the ROM gives back a model, android version and manufacturer to android market(and maybe more info, i'm not an expert). If this says HTC Desire HD android 2.3.3, this is good. If this says Android Revolution Desire HD android 2.3.5 and this is not the response in the list of "the app" you want to download than market says "NO"???????? Or maybe it's something else?
At least I'm not the only one who can't figure it out
From what I can gather, its the new market causing the problem.
Wait until google fix it, or install an older market and delete the updater.
Sent from The App that Time Forgot.
+1 JagDave is right!!
And you may also try :
1. Change the LCD density to 240 by editing build.prop using buildprop editor or something from the market,
2. Reboot (Normal),
3. Go to settings, then application, find market there and clear the cache and data (very important), and
4. Open Market and try to download your apps now!!
Worked for me, dont know about you but i hope it does work for you as well!!
I ended up going and swapping to CM7 cause I was having some other issues and that seemed to fix it thanks everyone!
Thread closed at OP request.
Today Google Play Store was giving me the message of app incompatible with device. I changed to DPI to the Nexus Setting (I think its 320 or something) and as soon as I hit reboot I realized the mistake I have just committed. I have a pin unlock and now the screen DPI is so off that I cannot enter my pin and get my device unlocked. I've looked at bypassing apps on the play store but I cant install onto my device since the google play store wont let me install many apps since they are incompatible. Is there anything else I can do to save me the trouble of wiping my phone?

why dont you just flash over the rom again and it will load up stock dpi settings and preserve your data and settings. The most you will have is apps back that you may have deleted... It will refash your build.prop

I never loaded a ROM without wiping before but this did the trick for me. I had to re-install GAPPS also but thats not a major problem. Thanks for the help. I didnt think it was gonna be this easy.

Glad it worked
For some reason right now search is not working (at least that's what it tells me) so forgive me if this has been asked.
Here are some background
It worked fine with Rom's previous build
Currently running backup as I tested a Rom and came back to frosty
When I log on to Google Play it just does not think I have this particular device (it recognizes my tablet)
Is thier some sort of way to fix this. Is this a Rom issue? Is their some sort of script i can change on my phone to make it work?
(its not related but it would also be cool to tell Google play i have a device that is widely supported of issues like gameloft games or tegra only games IDK)
I also find this happens to me often when i use an AOSP based rom and it just so happens that i tested an AOSP Rom before coming back to current rom.
I really don't want to reinstall the Rom unless its necessary, (i always find its easier but takes much longer to manually as i either don't know how to use titanium correctly or i always choose an option to backup that messes up when i try tio restore.) also I do not remember if it worked with this Roms current build version 11.
I appreciate you taking the time to read my post and I hope to figure this out.

Is your phone and your tab signed in under two different gmail accounts? Maybe its something that needs to be changed from the website end of things. Try logging on to play store and changing the device type in settings maybe? I have been using play store on my phone for a while so I don't even really remember it on PC lol these were just the first things that came to mind after reading your question. Hope this helps
