Hi all, I've been very interested with XDA-Developers since i bought my LG P500. I'm currently having an issue with video playback on my phone. Here's a quick rundown of my slightly tweaked phone:
Stock Froyo 2.2 rom v10a
Franco kernel v18.1
Rooted phone with superuser,rom manager,titanium backup,root explorer etc..
And here's my problem:
I wanted to get rid of the buggy stock video app on my froyo,and use one from the market.So, i took precautions and made a backup of stock video player 1.64 using TBackup, deleted the stock vid app using TB itself, then installed a new video app from the market (actually i installed a few..). But when i try to play a video stored on my phone/sdcard with my new vid app, it causes a 'force close' error for all the different vid apps.
I then thought i might hav made an error deleting the stock vid app. So i tried to restore it using TB, but when trying to restore, it remained stuck on the 'Restoring App' and kept on and on trying to restore. I even needed to restart my phone for that to stop, and of course the stock vid app was still not restored.
I tried another workaround: using root explorer, i gained access to system/app folder on my phone and tried to install the stock system video.apk in it, with R/W. still nothing.tried changing the permissions as well, still nothing. I am at a loss here friends, and do not intend to flash a custom rom for the moment [i.e. until i try the official gingerbread rom and see for myself if it is good enough, else, either mik's 6.6 or noejn's rom..] So please, help me guys on this one to get my stored videos working again on my stock froyo rom..
Thx.
Have u tried rockplayer universal version.. and make sure that the video is not above the resolution of 680*320
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
No i havent tried rockplayer, but i'll give it a go, even though i'm pretty sure the outcome will be the same. Also, the video i am trying to play is one which i recorded with my lg p500 camera itself. That video was playing fine before i removed the stock video app.. Now no video stored on my phone is playing. On the other hand, my youtube app streams youtube videos just fine..
I think maybe i am gonna hav to look for a system dump, extract the stock vid app, and somehow try to shove it into system apps using root explorer..

I think that's the way to go. Get hold of it from somewhere, from a nand backup, or from a stockrom.zip. Plus the stock rom is not deodexed, so you'll need the apk and the odex file as well. Or you could simply perform a factory reset.

As it is, there is no odex file for the stock movie player app in system/app folder. Can anyone please brief me as to how I should go about restoring my stock vid app on my lg p500 and get my vids to work again?

Do u have any idea where i can get an odex file for the stock video player app? i cant seem to find one anywhere.. I've also got a nand backup, but they r all img. files.. how should i go about extracting the apk and odex files i need from the nand backup?
Just try this enable USB debugging than use TB to restore the app.

Still doesn't work even with usb debugging on. TB wont restore it at all.. It's like stuck in a loop while trying to restore the stock vid app.. Can anyone send me a link where I can download a system dump of froyo 2.2 for lg p500?

Regarding the TB restoring issue, I face it every time and I've totally stopped trying to restore. I got fed up
Have you tried flashing the addon packages for void forever ROM? There is a package which has the stock video app I suppose. Try flashing it through CWM.
[EDIT]: Sorry I didn't notice that you're using 2.2. I don't think the void forever addon pack would work.
I've finally found a workaround for this problem guys.i downloaded a vid app called mx video player as well as it's associated codec addon from the market.my stored vids are working again as long as I keep both of them apps on my phone..
The pair of them (app + addon) are quite heavy though, anyone knows a lighter equivalent by any chance?

install busybox from market, run the app and click install, its shows status- done which can give u R/W access to system partition and the install vm heap tool. set vm heap size 48 MB. then install mobo player and then mobo player codec from then market. go to the menu of mobo player tick mark soft decording option. and ur phone can play even 720p videos. Its lag but its can play. Use XVID4PSP convert software for best playing for P-500

I cannot download some apps from the play store. It says your device is not compatiable. I know it is compatiable because i have seen others with the app on their note. I tried downloading the original car home (i did not like the voice stock samsung one) and samsung apps which doesnt even show up in the play store anymore.
My lcd density is still 320 havent changed it.
Im running rooted saurom with no changes to OC

I have had several issues like this.... you need to edit your "BUILD.PROP" file with Some type of file explorer / rom toolbox or something like that.
Several lines such as "RO.xxx.device" says i717 - Where it says SGH-i7171 you should change to "GT-N7000" which is the international version. This will fix that issue - also, use the search function, there is another thread with this info already.

Oh okay I will try looking and searching for the build prop posts. I am new to rooting and modding. Can you tell me exactly what i need to do? Do i need to purchase root explorer for this? And I'am kind of worried that by switching to the gt-n700 build prop it will make other apps which work now incompatiable and i will be in the same situation again.
Okay so to try and fix it I re installed the new saurom rom xla2 rcvi and the atnt fix. I rebooted it and restored my apps and data through titanium backup. I am now going to do a nandroid backup. But i still cannot get sme apps from the play store still uncompatible. I thought the atnt fix would fix it because it removed the r from the build.prop. But it didnt.
could you link me to the posts where this was discussed because I could not find it. also could you tell me how to do this because i was just trying to find my build prop just so i would know where to find it and i couldnt.
I just dont understand why i cant download some apps like samsung apps, omnisketch these are made for the note? I tried restoring my samsung apps from my stock rom because i backed it up with titanium but when i restored it and tried to open it, it took me to the play store and said the app was not compatible.
Hello,
Well, im not new to custom roms. I think im pretty experienced with it. But i found no solution for my Problem yet.
I tried many Roms for my Ace, but with some I have the problem, when I try to install an app, the Market says my device is not supported.
With other Roms it works perfectly.
For example:
I tried the Miracle Rom V2 based on CM7.2: Everything works Perfectly.
Now I tried Miracle Rom V3 based on CM7.2, too: For example Maps, Mail, SoundHound and many many other Apps are not Possible to install. "Not Supported".
Thank you for your help
try to replace it with another rom.....
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA
lol, thats not the answer id like to hear^^
there must be a reason for that problem. It isnt solved with just installing another rom
try another version for map etc
for me anything work perfect
i use miracle v3

"hear what people say..respect other member bro"
yes of course i could.
But there are many many other Apps which doesnt work, where i cant download another version very easy.
For example "heise", its a german computer magazine. I cant download the app and i dont know where i can download it. It would be hard work to search for any app, i cant install, for other versions
Edit:
Success. A reinstallation of the rom solved it. Weird problem. Does anybody have an idea where it comes from?
2nd Edit:
Too early. Still problems..
Most problems on first install are commonly solved by applying wipes before and after installation.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA
Im still having the same problems. But everytime i try with different Apps.
I tryed a full wipe, before and after flashing.
I even formatted everything before and after installation.
This thing is really annoying!
Problem is solved!
For anyone having the same problem:
I used a density modder to change the display resolution to 140. That makes the market to no-know the phone, because it has the wrong resolution.
Solution:
I bought "LCD Density Modder Pro" from Market to change the Density. Then I activated the option "Fix Market Compability Issues" which installs a modified Market.apk to make the market think the phone still has the resolution 160
I'm having same issue. All the apps on my phone say this is not compatible with your device!
Rooted my phone 2 days ago, everything else stock!
I really this tablet but the big dealbreaker for me at this point is some basic apps are not compatible or at least play store think it is. Is there any way around this?

Most of those that Play Store says are incompatible are not incompatible. It is just that the Nook HD/HD+ is not a device that should be accessing their site (it should be accessing B&N store). So just reading the characteristics of the device (screen size, density, and many other things), it does not know what to think, so it just says not compatible. Most of them will run. Just get them somewhere else, Amazon, 1mobile, sideloaded from other devices etc.
I only have found one app that would not run. Google Voice.

Most will run I have only found 2 that will not, google voice and sim city.

I already posted this yesterday here, Chrome_18_0_1026320.apk from apktop says it missing something after installing. Already read somewhere about an older version which should work, but I haven't figured out which is the most recent one which does work. I want to install the latest working version.
I used this method for "incompatible device apps":
Some apps showed incompatible device on Play Store so I downloaded and installed them on to a rooted Galaxy SII phone using the Temp Unroot function. Then back-upped with Titanium Backup and e-mailed it by Gmail. Then download it to my at that point rooted HD+ (2.0.4). Apps still didn't work because my HD+ was rooted, but worked after the 2.0.5 update, as my HD+ isn't rooted any more at the moment. I think this workaround still works for many apps. (Only the root was lost after the update, so the rest still is working like before).
So some testing needs to be done before you can say an app really is incompatible. Would be good maybe to make a list of some apps, not?
Another APK that does not work...
Also I have tried to install Subway Surfer from 1mobile, google play store, and downloaded apk. In all three instances it installs and gets to start screen which lasts about 5 seconds. Then screen flashes and goes back to home or launcher. Really wish I could figure this one out. Two Nook HD's for the kids and most wanted game does not work. :crying: Jay

That means it just will not run on your machine. Does the Play Store say anything about which versions of android it will run on? Stock is 4.0.4.

Yeah it says 2.3.3 or higher. Forgot to mention my HD has the GAPPS, unknown sources, etc.

You're using gapps in the 2.0.5 update, but are you rooted?
Leapinlar, that's what has me baffled. The nook has 4.0.4 android yet a simple app that only requires 2.3.3 android will not work. I am sure it's just a setting that it doesn't like but I have tried it on both HD 's with the same results My nooks are not rooted but used your zips for stock. All other apps have installed and worked thus far. Do you have any idea what the app may be hanging up on with the nook? Thx

Is he saying it is running because of losing root? You can test that by installing gapps without root. See my cwm thread to see how to get that.

Hi, I have Subway Surfers running fine on my Nook HD+, it's ver. 1.6.0 dated 2nd January 2013. I've had it running on Cm10 and now CM10.1 roms fine.
Guessing here but it does have the option for in app purchasing, maybe that's why it's not liking it on the stock Tom with Gapps side loaded? It's a free app so can upload the APK if you like? Pm me if needed

Hey I am thinking the issue may be that I am not fully rooted but rather did Leapinlar's stock zip flashes for unknown sources and such. Do you guys think using the universal root zip and flashing that may solve my issues? Also will running the universal root zip work now that I have already done the other GAPPS, Extras, Unknown Sources zip

Yes, the root can be added later with no problem. You notice he said that app worked on CM10, not stock. I doubt if root will help. But you can try and if you decide you want to remove root, I have a zip for that too.

I've managed to use ES File Explorer to backup a couple of apps that the Play Store listed as "incompatible."
Plants vs. Zombies comes up as incompatible and I can't get ES to back it up.
Real Racing 2 comes up as compatible, but when you launch it the first time it wants to install additional files. That secondary step fails.
Further, i can't get ES to back it up either.

Great, being able to add AND remove root is what I was looking for, might have missed that while reading here. That would work like a "temp unroot", just not by a single click in an app, but that wouldn't be a big problem. So maybe it's time to give CM10 a try now.
Indeed some apps suddenly do work when your device is not rooted, so they do a check. Because I had them installed while being rooted and lost root because of the 2.0.5 update I could notice that they worked afterwards. On the rooted Galaxy SII I used the "Temp unroot" option in SuperSU, so I could install about all apps, those that need root access and those which don't want root access to install, run or both.
I do believe I used Titanium Backup while "Temp unroot" was on, while you only can install Titanium Backup on a rooted device as far as I know. Need to check this once more, it wasn't my phone I used.
Playing with and without root might be needed to see if some apps do or don't work on the HD+. At least by this you can out-rule whether being rooted or not is causing the app not to install and/or work.

You did not miss it. It was probably not there when you read it. I am always changing and adding things to my CWM thread. You need to watch the change log in the second post of that thread.

Anyone else tried to run Words with Friends from CM10 SD card? It installs OK from the Google Play store, but locks up after 1 or 2 turns. If not for this, I'd have very little reason to ever boot back into stock OS.

From the android log it would appear it's the ability of in-game billing causing the issue:
D/InAppBillingManager( 5896): AndroidBilling: No Billing Support Yet!
Not sure how to get around it but that seems to be the issue.

Hello.
I've just installed the newest CM7.2 from tomeq on my Samsung i5700 Spica. It's fine, but i have trouble with applications. It's based on android 2.3.7, so it's not that old. Earlier i had Zalito jellybean (4.1.2) and apps like snapchat, messenger could be installed and I even could use them normally. As I installed CM7 i can't even dowload it from googleplay, because my device isn't compatible. I've searched few solutions but each don't work. I tried to edit build.prop with changing ro.build.version.release ro.product.model locating ro.product.brand to different values but it didn't help at all. i tried to change DPI also, still nothing. I tried to download apps from other source and install it, and for example snapchat can be installed with no problems, but when I run it, it crash, or starts&can't load (yellow screen). I was looking for build.prop in system/bin but it's not there, it's only in /system.
I tried everything but it don't help.
Any ideas?
ps. sorry for my english

build.prop will be only inside system and not in system/bin
May be the apps fc because of incompatible with your ROM or android version. You cannot use all Jelly bean apps in gingerbread. better install jellybean again

yeah i know, but look, those apps run from android 2.2, so it doesn't matter if it's jellybean or gingerbread, I think. I found it just a little bit weird, or I don't have enough knowledge about it
I'll consider update to jellybean again if there won't be any solution..
