[Q] How can I download apps that are tagged as incompatible?

Is there any way I can do it using the market and avoiding having to get the Apk file itself ?
I edited the .prop file from system and cleared the data from market app. No success.
Thanks in advance

Google the apk.
Or download to a compatible device. Then dropbox the app to yourself so you can open it on the KF
I meant without having to grab the apk itself.i want to use the market

from my experiance even with modded prop u cant get some free aps from market directly and paid ones dont work if u live outside usa, was told u can factory reset and use a usa ip to pair up the device and fixes the paid apps issue but i havent tried that
Thanks for the reply. AFAIK , i don't think it is possible, but, there may be a way to get over this barrier.
Thanks anyways for the answers

Yes, i did rebooted before trying, also, cleared data from play app and nothing worked.
Did you manage to make it work ?
I can fully understand why paid apps would be locked-out but for the free stuff it's just silly that there isn't some official opt-in alpha/beta/tester channel.
The official device compatibility recommendations aren't exactly accurate and anyone who has modified their build.prop to something less limiting can attest to that.

I still can't manage to make it work
Let me know if there is any other workaround i may test.
I know its not related to this thread but, suddenly my "Documents" part of the Amazon Launcher stopped working.
Once i hit any document nothing happens, it only flashed to indicate that i clicked on it, but no download or opening happens.

Me too, let me know what do you mean
EDIT: I've googled it, and could not find a download link, only these Crappy Surveys and "celphone free sms" options.
Let me know if there is any trustworthy source i can try
EDIT 2 : Found a Link : http://www.mediafire.com/?mek586fb3lyhrzz
Will give it a try now.
EDIT 3 : After installing, it says i must buy the licence from the market. But the app does not exist at the market.
Uninstalled, crap.

This Might help, I did some looking and found this page with a link to the market and the app Market Unlocker Pro. Kind of the long around but I did manage to install it.
If you are comfortable with using roms you could install a modaco rom which disguises your kindle into a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 so you have more apps to choose from.

Amazon Appstore device restriction
I am trying to get an app that I purchased (a kindle fire version) to a non-kindle. I am hoping there is a way to get the APK or something. I have a kindle fire, but it has a custom ROM, so Amazon again says I can't download. I tried the market tool, but it only works for the google market.
Does anyone have a solution to allow me to download the app in a format that I can then install on my Samsung Galaxy Tab3, or is my only option to put a stock ROM back on the kindle fire, download the app, snag the APK, and install on my tab3?
Thanks for your help!

FYI, Just in case you can't download an app due to whatever reason from the Play Store, there is also a thread on XDA HERE where you can request an app and someone else will download the app and give you the apk. Keep in mind, this resource is to be used only for free apps.
Also, this thread is closed as this app thread is considered off topic since it isn't really related to this device as a theme or app just for the device. App discussions should be had in the Android Apps and Games subforum.
Regards.
