Installing Imcompatable Apps

Postby geekinthesticks » May 18th, 2012, 10:15 am

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.

You can put lots of ,apk files on that will work with the scroll by putting them on the sdcard even if market says its not compatible to get maket(play) to show more apps you need to edit the build.prop to fool the market t9o thinking you have a different device this edit has to be done correctly as there are many things in the buid ,prop that can cause big problems if you get it wrong ! there is a build .prop thats been edited for your tablet on the forum
