[Q] Did Google Play just remove alot of apps for us Honeycomb DS7 users?

[Mysticales]

Ok I just have been coming across something very disturbing. Games I had purchased and played on my Streak 7 (even after Honeystreak R8) are now showing up as "Not supported Device" in the Play Store. Examples: Final Fantasy III, Galaxy on Fire THD, Siegecraft THD.

Basically things weve had for a long time on the Tegra Zone are no longer showing up as supported. Im starting to wonder if Google is doing this vs the devs. Anyone have some info on this or your results? Thanks. (If its a honeycomb thing.. Im tempted to go back to 2.2)

Add another one.. That new Spectral Souls.. all my devices (Even my G1!) show as supported.. only one that isnt. The Streak 7.

You could search for a version of Google Play that has been modified with the device restrictions removed. They are all over the forums

• Final fantasy III - compatable with all devices
• Galaxy on fire II THD - only compatable with S7
• Siegecraft THD - only compatable with S7
• Blazing Souls Accelate - compatable with all devices
• Spectral souls - compatable with all devices

Devices tested against:

• S5 - Paranoidandroid 1.1 (4.0.4)
• S7 - CM9mod (4.0.3)
• S10 - CM9mod (4.0.4)
• V - CM7.2 (2.3.7)
• Touchpad - CM9 (4.0.4)
• Bluestacks - virtual machine (2.3.5)

At least with the THD versions, it's compatable with my S7 but not my S10, even though my S10 is also a tegra2 (likely due to the fact that CM9/S10 is still missing a lot of video accel stuff)

Did you change your DPI or something? That's usually the cause of everything being marked incompatable

Well non of the THD stuff show as compatible on my Streak 7 now. As for DPI. I just changed a lil while ago from 120 to 106, which seems to be nice for home screen and so. Then I DID try changing it back to 120. Rebooted, went back into market, still didnt see it in there. So unless I am missing something? What DPI did you all keep yours on?

 

[TheManii]

That was the reason: using a non-standard DPI = your device is incompatable with 95% of the stuff on the market.

You MUST use 120/160/213/240/320 if you want to be able to install stuff from market.

It takes a little time for it to register that your dpi changed, could take a minute, could take a day.

Seems like a good option.

This one here: ICS or JB

I use on my Gnex on a 241dpi(stock is 320) and it works after any DPI change... just clear cache for market I think, and read the threads for trouble shooting

Ok Ill try this back on 120 then. What was everyone else using on their streak 7?

Edit: Ok changing back to 120, then clearing cache and data. Then WAITING 5 mins seems to have done the trick. Kinda odd about this. Didnt see any mention of this in the R8 thread or so as an issue. Just always had wondered. Then tried 106 since in notes I read, talked about youtube and gapps needing that to work right. Sucks too.. cause homescreen finally looked decent after I saw this.

So really wondering if everyone is using 120 or if there was something better.
