Are these protect apps and this has a market issue or am i just missing something? I am using bamboozle 1.1
app brain, chompsms, and empire online are the one's i found so far with no install button.
It can be an issue not getting a proper ID on your phone, thus not allowing your to install some apps that have hardware requirements.
Have you tried to delete and reinstall the Market???
no
I have not. would i have to do that with root manager?
Just happened last week. I had changed my lcd desity with an app so some market pages just didn't fit. Went back to 240 setting and install returned.

If you use market 2.3.6, there isn't an lcd density check. So you can download all apps

I'm 99.9% sure its the lcd density. Dd you wipe the market cache?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I changed lcd density back to 240 tried to clear cache but it would allow me so i forced stopped it and still greyed out. checked again still cannot download certain apps. Just tried the green market and it seems to have fixed it. or maybe i needed both since i couldn't clear the cache but the market looks a little off like it did at 200.
switched lcd density to 200 an still works

Didn't understand your post. So it worked or still didn't work? Having similar problems myself.
I rooted yesterday, if that has anything to do with it, but I went to install mightytext today and it say that it is not compatible with this phone. Can someone please try to install, or report if you have installed, mightytext? Is there anything I can try to install this app? I tried deleting all data for the market under settings->applications and that did not help. I don't know of any other specific apps that are missing at this time.
Change your dpi settings back to 240

Did you change your screen dpi? If so, change it back and try again.

Wow, that was totally it!
1. How did you know that? That seems so out of the blue. You don't have to answer that. I am sure it was personal experience.
2. How did the market website know that I had changed the resolution too? I couldn't even install it from there.
Oh well, all is good now.
You guys rock!
The new Android Market (3.3.1.1) seems to fix this issue for me allowing me to download and install without having to first reset my resolution settings.
It appears that Android market allows downloading apps without checking phone's lcd density any more.
Until yesterday, I couldn't download lots of Android apps because market did not allow me to download because of compatibility issue. To download, I had to change the density to default 240 and delete cache/data and reboot.
Starting from this morning, I can download any apps with density 200.
This means that Android market is not checking the device's resolution any more or they put the Epic4gt to their database with many other allowable densities?
Does anybody else notice that?
I hope this also work for you.
[Update] Please read if you want to know how to
OK. I tested it out a lot more after the above post.
My finding is, there was nothing changed from Android market. Possibly, each app could be changed for its supporting devices and resolutions. But, it's not my case here.
Definitely, Android market has some databases handling the devices and resolutions per each applications. So, first thing is, you need to find out the most commonly accepted resolutions for your device. After that,
1. Set or change your device resolution (density) from build.prop file in \system folder (Don't touch anything else except the ro.sf.lcd_density value). You can use many tools to edit this file.
example: In here 240 is the most commonly accepted LCD density for D710 from Android market
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
2. If Market app is open, then close it and be sure it's not running thru task manager. Go to the Application Manager and delete the cache and data.
3. Reboot and check if the app is downloadable.
4. Go back to build.prop file and change the resolution that you want to use.
example:
ro.sf.lcd_density=190
5. save the file and reboot the phone. Most important thing in here is, DON'T wipe the cache or data. Based on my test, market app uses the first successful configuration data instead of reloading it every time. So, if you wipe the data or cache by some reason, you need to this steps again.
6. Try the market download with the solution that you want to keep.
Bingo!
This steps are based on my test and it worked well on my system -ICS FB27. I don't know how it would work on different build or ROM but I think it would be quite common over most ROMs and build. Do it with your own RISK!

It's quite a bit better for me, but I still get a few "device not compatible" messages for apps that I know are compatible, like quickpic, when running at 190.

I just tested out quickpic with 190 and 200. 190 does not work but 200 works. I know that 200 was not working until yesterday. This means that A.droid market only added some commonly used densities for D710 or for all devices?

Correct me if I am wrong here...don't you have to be either 160, 200, or stock 240 or you will run into issues?

Native resolutions are/were 140, 160, 240.
I'd love to be able to run at 160, but it causes com.android.phone to force close.

Say wah? I run 160 all the time, but 200 is the sweet spot for me.

I think it depends on other variables. I just switched my Nexus to 160 to see if the dialer would be offset and apps would download and it works fine. It has same stock 240...On a stock setup dialer is offset at 160 so theme makes a difference too

Could you try it again with the method that I posted again in top thread?

For me, I use Go Launcher EX. It still has lots of widgets and looks not bad on ICS and GB. For ICS only, some likes Nova launcher because it's better fit for ICS.
I do not use the Nova yet because it does not have widgets as much as Go Launcher.

ADW EX here, most of the launchers look fine at the lower DPI, use a third party dialer, calendar, and calculator app as well as the TW ones will also be borked.
Worked brilliantly!
Currently running Blazer ROM 4.1 w/ EL29 (Gingerbread).
1) Checked that the LCD density was set to 240 via build prop.
2) Opened task manager and check to make sure the Market app was not open.
3) Went to manage the Market App and took it a step further by uninstalling update, deleting cache and delete data.
4) Started the market app, and confirmed I could see the Holo Launcher as a downloadable item.
5) Went into build.prop (using ES File Explorer) and set lcd density to 200. Saved file.
6) Rebooted phone, and went into Market and sure enough, I could see holo launcher.
Awesome job OP!
I use the clear cache/data and reboot method, but my market seems to reset.or something because the Movies tab disappears and apps say not compatible until i rinse and repeat.
I haven't seen a common factor between when it happens. It just seems random.
Has anyone else seen this?

Yes, I have. I'm experiencing this now. It seemed to work once and then a reboot of my phone seemed to undo it. Very very annoying.
I changed my density to 200 but now apps in the market are not compatible. Is there certain things i have to do ? I use to have aokp and they will give u instructions on how to change the density with the market still working. I tried it that way but it didn't seem to work. Is there another way ? I'm running darkside tlle4 v1.

Download density modder pro. It has the option to trick the playstore into thinking its the right density
Sent from Samsung Galaxy SIV
Try this.
1. Go back to 240 and reinstall market to make it work correctly. This is important that it works perfectly.
2. Now go back to the screen where you are able to uninstall play store and press on clear data.
3. Change ur density to 160. And open play store. Press accept.
4. Now go back to whatever density u want to use.

I'm on Slim Rom......kobo in app store says not compatible with this device. Serious? Or is it a glitch??
Thanks for any help!
I'm on Slim Bean as well and just tried installing the app to see if I get the same result. It's working fine on my phone so it should install on your phone without a problem, try wiping the data/cache for the Play store app and then restart your phone to see if that fixes it.
Thanks.....didn't work tho. Wonder if being at 180dpi has something to do with it....or multi dpi playstore I'm running. Have to play around with it.

That could be it, revert your dpi back to stock 240 dpi making sure you clear the Play Store data/cache before you download the Kobo app again. Good luck!
