Device not compatible in play store, why? Should be compatible - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a Nexus 7 (2012) wifi-only model and want to install printoid (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.yochi76.printoid.phones.trial) on it. But the Google play store keeps telling me my device isn't compatible... I don't understand why.
I have an even older tablet (galaxy tab 1 7") where its working without issues, a bit slow though. And I know the developer of the application also has the same Nexus model and can install it without any problems. I installed the APK by sideloading it, runs without any problems, just can't download it from the store.
Some facts
Google Play services = version 11.7.44
Google Play store = version 8.4.18.V-all
Tried Android 5.1.1 (XenonHD ROM) and my device is rooted
Tried the stock rom 5.1.1, even un-rooted and locked it
Tried lineageOS 7.1
What could be causing this?

Probably the developer himself has forbidden the installation of the application on this device. Either in the application manifest contains the necessary (not optional) permissions, because of which the device was automatically excluded from the list of devices. I also from time to time come across applications (even from Google) that can not be installed with Google Play. But nevertheless, they work fine if you manually install the apk.
Just use https://apkpure.com/ for such cases.

Thanks @gmikhail, didnt know the apkpure site, handy. I had contact with the developer and he has the same device. He can install without any problems, which makes it even more strange.
Rather use it from the play store, makes updating easier.

@nosmo-king The app is not available for me too. So the problem is exactly on the developer's side. Let it go to the device list and manually recheck device.
In Google Play Console -> Select app -> Release Management -> Device Catalog -> Find Nexus 7 2012. There should be written why the device is not supported.
PS: apkpure supports auto-update.

Good to know I am not the only one, thanks for checking.
I replied to the developer, I hope he can do something...
Good to know about apkpure, unfortunately the PRO version is not available. Probably because its not free

Lost Play Store and Play Services, anyway to get them back?

Installed modded Play Store (through Lucky Patcher), install succeeded but Play Store would say not connected to the internet when launched, installed different versions of modded play store gave me the same result, gave up on modded Play Store and uninstalled it though Lucky Patcher and tried installing multiple versions from apkmirror, same thing, app installs, then tells me not connected to the internet when opened, so I thought Google Play Services was at fault, so I uninstalled both it and the Play Store through Titanium Backup, and even though I no longer have either installed, Play Store icon was still on the homescreen (won't launch though), did the Nougat update thinking it would overwrite the system partition and fix the issue, still the same.
Have though about flashing gapps, but thought it was too risky to install on non-AOSP, so now I don't know where to go from here, Help Please?
of course. Just download it via browser
Playstore ( unmodded ) : http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-7-3-07-k-all-0-pr-139935798-release/
Latest Play Service for x64 @480 DPI : http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-10-0-84-release/google-play-services-10-0-84-448-137749526-android-apk-download/
These are the right versions, no clue which you tried.
If youre on CM or the error still remains , download OpenGAPPS by any mirror and let it download the full AROMA package for x64. Flash the zip via twrp and select both missing apps. Watch your steps here, it asks you which to install and which to remove. For me the Aroma Control is a big buggy. You have to play with the volume rockers and the power button to go through the setup.
By the Way : I recommend to follow Google INC there to get the latest beta versions pre playreleased
For the future...
I would not recommend messing with Google apps and Lucky Patcher. This app can really mess up your accounts.
I also don't think it is allowed to discuss any Lucky Patcher related issues on these forums since large parts of "activities" that this app is used for are not completely legal.
The so-called modded APK from theirs can't be installed as it lacks a certificate. However if you achieve perfection after signing the APK and using their "second" method the following message persists:
Code:
Authentication is required. You need to sign into your Google Account.
reference:i63.tinypic.com 2ex1ug7.png
I used one x86 ver of Phonesky, it could do well with Play Store WITHIN ONLY A FEW MINUTES. Then it showed "Service stops. " The modded APK looks promising, there must be some other tricks to bypass the Google Serivce check.

Installing Google Play Service on Non-Rooted FTV2

So I have a FTV2 that I can't root (yet... hopefully) because it's on the 5.2.4 software - but I needed Google Play Services in order to run a particular program I sideloaded. Using the info in this guide:
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-inst...amazon-fire-tv-or-fire-tv-stick-without-root/
I was able to get (what I believe to be) the latest working versions (for the FTV) installed. The program in question now works fine. Here's what I did (again, all credit to the above source... all I did differently is figure out and download the latest versions of each):
1) Download the following apks (I got all of these from apkmirror) and install in this order:
- com.google.android.gsf_4.0.4-488656 (this is Google Services Framework)
- com.google.android.gms_10.2.98_(030-146496160) (this is Google Play Services)
- com.google.android.gsf.login_5.1-1743759 (this is Google Account Manager)
- com.android.vending_6.8.24 (this is Google Play Store)
2) Once the above are installed, launch the Google Play Store and attempt to login. It'll fail. That's expected.
3) Hit home key and you're gtg!! Apps requireing play services should now work (at least they did for me).
I'm not sure if you have to do the play store part or even install the play store and/or the account manager, but I figured it couldn't hurt.
Hope that helps!
Didn't work for me. Still get the
"app(optus sports in my case - Australia) won't run without Google play services which are missing from your phone"
Thanks for trying to help though.

Hi All, I have just tried to install google play on my Fire TV 2 and I get an Error saying this app isn't compatiable with your device. To fix this problem, go to settings and uninstall updates for the google Play Store App. I followed your guide exactly but I am now stuck, can you offer me any advice please. (I only need google play store to download one paid app, as it does not transfer across as a full paid app with apps2fire)
FireTV Software Version:- Fire OS 5.2.4.2 (574263120)
Fire TV Home Version 5.7.3-17
Non Rooted (Really do not want to root it)
Thank you for any help

Any luck with this? I was able to get past this initial issue by installing the Android TV version of the app which allowed me to open, but I get a spinning wheel and nothing loads so I am assuming the framework files are to blame somehow.
All I want is to install a recent version of espxe! As my current version crashes when visiting the preferences screen.
Any help most appreciated!!
Solved
Solved by installing most recent version of expse by transferring apk from device to fire tv so no need to install google play on fire tv 2
I installed and I can get the app to work. It is MSG GO. Now it is asking to allow location services. Thoughts?

Hi,
I have the same FTV2 with the same 5.2.4.0.
And like you I need the Google Play Services for the same reason.
So I installed the exact versions of apks with same the order you provided.
But unfortunately when I launched Google Play Store I only got the cruel error "This app isn't compatible with your device. To fix this problem, go to settings and uninstall updates for the google Play Store App."
You mention that you downloaded the latest version (at that time). Any ideas which versions to download, since they are to many?
Thanks in advance for your kind answer!

Hi,
Can you be more specific on the solution you describe?
Thanks in advance!
Hi
My solution was that I didn't need to install the app I wanted (espxe PlayStation emulator) at all through an installation of google play. Instead I found another android device (tablet) downloaded the espxe apk on that and then copied it to the Amazon fire tv. I messed around with different framework versions but to no avail. I was able to get the 1mobile store installed a lot easier which has many apps but this didn't have the 'paid for' espxe.

Android auto on jfltexx and CM13

Hi,
i'm running CM13 on jfltexx and wanted to try android auto and store lists it as incompatible. Is it better with Lineage14? Or how to get it?
If it's not a paid app, you can try downloading it from another web store or some website.
So how can I make it work with updates etc. Why it is behaving like it is incompatible?
I don't know. Maybe it's not available in your country or something.
As for the updates, I think it should be recognized by the store once installed and update normally. Otherwise you will have to check for updates regularly and manually download and install said update.
If you're using browser to access the play store page of the app, it would say incompatible with all your devices, so log in and add it to wish list through the browser and from the play store you can access the wish list and see why you can't download the app, some browsers redirects you automatically to the play store, for me it says "not available in your country", however the app requires android 5.0 or higher and it's compatible with nogut as mentioned in the app description.
In play store on cell phone it tell me that is not available for my country and when i downloaded apk from apk central it tells me that is not compatible with my phone when i try to install it.
Still did not get it to work, but at least it made me update to android 7 (lineage 14.1).
I don't understand country lock when android auto cars are sold in Czech and i guess even aftermarket head units with AA.

Google Services Framework always 'corrupt'

After days of research I'm stuck. My Axon 7 is of Chinese origin, happily running 7.1.1 with production ROM. I'm struggling to get Google services/Play etc. onto it though.
I've tried the various remedies in other threads, e.g. using the Xiaomi installer and using the ZTE 'Google Installer' from the ZTE Market (image below, just to show I've tried!) and even sideloading the various Gapps Pico apks.
Nothing works - whichever route I take, as soon as we get to installing the 'Google Services Framework', it tries to install and then says the 'package is corrupt'. Given that I'm using several different methods, the binaries must be fine, I've taken care.
There HAS to be a magic trick to getting the GSF up and running on this otherwise lovely Axon 7....
[Update] Have installed the latest GSF beta from apkmirror and am making some progress. No doubt version numbers aren't going to match under the hood, but hey, I have something on the screen etc
[Update 2] Got the Play Store up and running and Chrome worked, but after a reboot the Play Store doesn't launch again. Time to start again and work out what order the APKs are needed in?

APP/APK Updater

Hi
Like Google Play, is there an updater that updates app from APKmirror or others automatic?
There are but I would suggest aurora which uses Google play without an account
Forgot to mention, it can also be apps that are not on Google Play.
Ex for me is: Disney+, have to find it on apkmirror (or others), has disappeared from my Google Play....
Ofcourse other apps also, that is not on google play.
Disney + is still on Google play Maybe not for your country or something but aurora uses anonymity to show you everything on the Play store
Something happens after a reset of my Shield. So can't find it anymore.
I will try aurora, tried it now on my phone, looks great.
New to this, so 1 question: Is it possible to make update and install. Now I had to hit install/upgrade for each of the apps?
And maybe run in the background and update apps?
With root yes that will auto update
Thanks for the answer.
Haven't read or tried that in years. Maybe I'll check for the Shield, my phone is brand new so I'll have to think about that.
Is it still the hassel of USB, program and much code on the laptop, if I could ask?
Now it's just using a modified boot file. An oversimplified explanation is to just enable oem unlock, reset to factory settings, extract the boot file, magisk modifies it, put it back in the phone and boom you're rooted
Thanks, will try to find the howto for my Shield and maybe my phone.
