Installing Imcompatable Apps

I have TuneIn Pro installed on my Samsung Galaxy. However, Google Play says it's incompatible with the Scroll Extreme, but the TuneIn standard .apk file is in the ScrollApps folder on the device and it installs and works fine.

So, how can I persuade Google Play that TuneIn Pro is compatible with my device and let me install it? A sort of "I know it's incompatible, but just go ahead and install it option".

Use a file manager like Astro to copy the Tunein Pro Apk to the SD card on your phone.

Copy to the extreme via PC, dropbox etc and it should install.

Thanks I ended up using Astro to back it up to the sdcard and then transferred it over.
