Went from the CM7.2 stable kang to cm9a1 kang back to the same cm7.2 stable kang and I cannot download a previously installed app. Not sure if any other apps are affected.. Any thoughts this are greatly appreciated. I need my music!

**update** I tried to include screen shots but my newb status is preventing me from doing so.

The app in question is Live Phish. The message in play store is "your device is not compatable with this item."

here's my configuration:
baseband: 2.15.00.0808
incredikernal 2.6.38.8
cyanogenmod-7.2.0-RC0-inc-KANG
build: 3/14/12

ran all the scripts in the dev section if that matters.

That is a good question. Maybe I will try going back to cm7.1, download the app, then flash the 7.2 kang with no wipe?

Tried downgrading to cm6 because i wanted to see what it was like and i was able to download the app but no dice after reflashing the 7.2 kang. I guess that leaves flashing 7.1 and not wiping before flashing back to the 7.2 kang. Out of curiousity, What is the difference between the 7.2 stable kang and the 7.2 pons?

Just some open commits (check my changelog). I'll have to go back through it, but nothing should affect the market.

Cant you just download the app on a rom that allows it, copy the apk from /data to your sdcard, install 7.2 kang and then install the app from the sdcard by clicking on it and selecting install?

If it worked on an ICS ROM and not a GB one, try editing your build.prop, located /system/build.prop. Compare the two values for ro.build.fingerprint (which is mainly what the play store looks at, that and LCD Density), and change the values to what ICS shows. Then reboot, clear market data, and try again. If this doesn't work, or if you need help with the process, let me know.

Sorry i am not on your level with this, but i am willing to learn! Does isolating the apk of a pay app require anything more than a root explorer? What would be the path to find those apks?

CM9 on the Inc? Where did you get this from? Was it working? Alpha/Beta?

Edit: Nevermind.
