App Compatibility Issues With Rom - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello everyone, I am new to this community so please try to understand. I just rooted and installed the Paranoid Android Hybrid Rom for my Bell S3 variant. Everyone went fine and I understood everything; considering it was my first flash, but now I cannot see most of the apps in the google play store because they are not "compatible" anymore. I was just wondering, is this a problem with just my install or evidence of the incomplete Rom and is there any way around this problem since the current app compatibility seems pretty limited. I would assume this a problem with the model name the google play store sees after my flash install in contrast to the stock model which let me download all apps. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you for reading.

Did you alter your Build.prop for Google Wallet, per chance?

HELP unfortunately google search has stopped working

Hey guys i got the awesome cyanogenmod 10 on my samsung galaxy gio. but one thing dont work (The thing i was looking forward more than the whole mod..) and that is the siri killer: Google now. So i press on my google search box and then it says ''unfortunately google now has stopped working'. i get it all the time. i installed lots of gapps. and still its not working. I can get to the wizard when clearing the data. but when i choose not now. Its just says unfortunately google now has stopped working. PLZZZZZ help because i really really want to try this siri-monster out.
Thanks Yours Truly Gianny6
Wrong section. It should go to general.
GN doesn't work on CM10 by MacławStudios at all, have no clue if it works on others CM10.
is there a risk my device bricks when i flashing another rom then that one from maclawstudios? Does the samsung gio support other cm10 versions ?

Samsung doesn't support Gio, why do you ask? Nothing may happen when you will install any other rom (ofc if yoy're doing it right)
Edit:
Have you tried these gapps: http://www.modaco.com/topic/355903-devrom98-cyanogenmod-10-android-411/?

[Q] Any Custom Roms for Sgh-i747m?

Hi,
I have sg s3 sgh-i747m from telus and I have been looking every where but couldn't find an answer. The admins are too lazy to make a Canadian section so allot of people who have the same model run into the same problem. Can i use any other roms from other models like sgh-i747 or would I break my device. Also can I can a list of possible of compatible roms? That would be much appreciated.
I need answers and I hope that this will help others in the future.
Thanks
You can use any ROM designed for a d2att. This has been repeated all over the i747/i747m forum. Only stock ROMs are unique, custom ROMs are not.

I ma sorry but what is this d2att? Do i have it?
The d2att is the designation for an AT&T s3 which is the same, hardware wise, as the Rogers, Bell, Telus, Virgin, and Koodo models in Canada.
I just tryed to flash cyanogenmod 11 d2att but failed. it said that i was not d2att.
Try changing ur recovery to latest twrp/cwm works for me sometimes im using bell i747m

I can load Validus, CM11, and Cyanfox which are all 4.4.2-based ROMs and this is on an i747m that was running stock 4.1.2. I never updated beyond the 4.1.2 bootloader. Have a look at the updater script in the ROM and it will tell you which bootloaders are supported.
Apparently I was d2mtr. I managed to install cm 11. Thanks guys =)
s3 sgh-i747m
Hello everyone,
i'm hoping i'm in the right spot for this. I'm trying to connect my Samsung galaxxy s3 sgh-i747m to my car. it is said i need to get android auto, and to get android auto i need to get lollipop version 5.0 or later. My question here is, does that rom exist for my version phone and if so where can i find it. second question, can someone hold my hand while i do the upgrade as this would be my first time.
thanks everyone, much appreciated.

There is no stock Android 5.0 ROM for the sgh-i747m. Samsung stopped at 4.4.2.
If you want 5.0, you'll need to flash a custom recovery such as TWRP and then a custom ROM.

I'm not sure how many of us are out there, tinkering around with the 8+ year old Samsung Galaxy S3 i747 . While I am a newbie, I have enjoyed flashing Custom ROM's , from CyanogenMod, thru various versions of Lineage, and now CrDroid. The newest O/S that I flashed is CrDroid ( based on Android 8 ). Runs great. Stable. Long battery life.
I have always used ODIN to INSTALL a 'recovery' system such as TWRP ( which is a .Tar file )
After TWRP is installed ( using ODIN ) I unplug phone from my computer. Then boot into TWRP recovery ( holding down the three buttons ). I do a clean install (flash) of the newest O/S that I can find ( Android 4.4 is really old ). It is that .Zip file that I flash, then reboot the phone. Always works for me. Eventually I learned how to back up all my contacts, SMS, logs, photos, etc.
BTW I am totally free of Google; no Google Play Store, no Google Pay, no Google Framework, no Gapps, no Google spyware, no Google bloatware, no Google tracking etc.
I download all my apps as APK's which are readily available on the Net ( Google them . . . just kidding! ).
My older Samsung S3 i747 was a 'd2att' originally locked to Rogers, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Then switched over to MTS (Manitoba Telephone System). Now running on Bell Canada. My replacement is also a Samsung S3 i747, originally running T-Mobile in Arizona, now running on Bell Canada.
These are damn fine phones.
Friend,
It's been so long, I don't even remember why I made this post. What you said about Odin and TWRP does sound familiar though. My S3 died years ago, I haven't done any phone modifications since.
Kind regards,
Keven

Well, that post of yours was from February 2014. Just like yesterday, eh?
But so sorry to hear about your S3. I thought these phones were indestructible!
They are so easy to tinker around with, without bricking. And because these Samsung Galaxy S3 phones are plentiful, zero cost, they're worry free when having fun messing around with them!
Take care, be safe & be healthy.

I've just come into possession of an old i747m. Still works, top glass is all cracked. But digitiser is undamaged. Touch screen works... I'm wanting to use it to play music in my garage while I tinker.. so I can still use my main phone and not have it plugged in...(Bluetooth speaker is on the blink you see)...it sorely needs a tune up though.. just want to be able to stream music through Spotify or pandora and use turbo VPN if I need to.. play store is seemingly not wanting to work well...
I'll have a go at your instructions... Provided I can still find links to all the files. Cheers

[Q] Google play services incompatible with certain apps after installing a rom

First of all, I am aware there's a solution post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51022557#post51022557 but since the Galaxy Fame is kind of unique I wish for a more accurate solution if possible
I installed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582851 and everything worked fine, except when I tried to use snapchat I got that error of Google Play Services incompatibility. Now, it says that rom is intended for developers and what not but every page I visited asking what was the best rom linked me to it so I tried it; I'm saying this because to be honest I barely know that my phone has to be rooted and I kind of know what CWM does, besides that I have no idea how custom roms work and thus I am asking for your help here on this matter
P.S: I'm not bashing on the creator of that rom.

How to install Google Play Store on N5209 running Color OS 2.0.1

I am running software update N3_12.A.09_150411. The device is the Oppo N3 5209 (Chinese version). I would like to do one or two things install the international ROM or just get the Google Play Store to work on this device. I would really appreciate some help with this. If it requires running Cyanogenmod then some help with that would be great as well, Thanks.

Moto G5 not compatible with Android Auto?

I can't find Android Auto on the playstore on my phone, and when I go to the playstore from my PC it tells me that "This app is incompatible with all of your devices."
Is it really incompatible, or maybe this is because Android Auto is not yet available in my country?

As far as I can tell the only requirements for the app itself is android lollipop and above so it probably is geo restricted
Since I don't have your device anymore I can't check
I have included the app in the attachment below though for you to install yourself
It is compatible, I am using it and installed it from play store. Maybe clear the Play store cache? AS pointed out you can also just install the apk (also from apkmirror)
Thanks. Are you using it with the G5 or the G5 Plus?
What is strange is that it is telling me that it is incompatible with my device, and not that it is not available in my country, as it happens with some other apps.
Is it is safe to install it with an .apk, and would I receive updates if I do it that way?

The apk I posted was downloaded by myself from the playstore so totally safe
You would only get updates if It is available in your playstore & even then you may have to uninstall & reinstall depending on app signatures if different in different locations

Thanks. If I can get confirmation that it should work with the moto g5 (not the plus) then I will try it out.
Any reason why Google would have country restrictions on Android Auto? The cars are the same, the apps (maps, music etc) work fine, so why place restrictions on Android Auto? Apple doesn't seem to have any such restriction with Car Play (in my country at least)

Why do you need confirmation to try it? Just try it - it will either install or say app not installed
Like I said the only min requirements is lollipop so no reason why the app won't install
Some apps maybe geo restricted for licensing purposes - if Googling why the app isn't available in your country doesn't come up with anything the only thing you can do is contact the app developer
He may think you provided a virus.

Lol by all means scan it - decompile it & check it
If you know my reputation around here you know I provide support
I used to be a recognised contributor but left xda for a while
Also I provided the official twrp for this device
So looking through my past posts/threads you will see the kind of support I provide
Of course, I mean you work on twrp for g5 and yet someone still manages to be suspicious
I am not suspicious I just want to know if it actually works! If this is not a country thing, maybe they marked this phone as incompatible for a good reason. I don't yet have a car with Android Auto so I can't fully test it now. Maybe it would run on the phone itself, but then fail to connect to the car (I've seen reports of this happening for several phones including different versions of the Moto G). Or maybe there is some other kind of bug that only shows up once connected to a car...

The only person that can answer your question would be the app developer
Would be quicker & easier to test yourself as the chance of someone with a moto g5 & the car you might have with android auto support would be highly unlikely
In these situations it's always better to just try yourself or contact the app developer for support
I installed the apk that TheFixItMan has provided and it works fine, on both the phone and a car I tried it with for a few minutes. Thanks!
As it was said previously I can't update Android auto from the play store now, so I assume at some point it might stop working properly. Should I just get a new apk every time I need an update?

Yes just get the latest apk
As long as it's just the version that is on the playstore (unmodified) like I provided you can just update it without having to uninstall previous version
