"Fix" Android market apps so they can be downloaded?

jdm001 · 02-01-2012, 08:35 PM

Ive seen on other sites and posts certain apps that are posted as apk's on other sites without restrictions that made them incompatible on the main market... couple i saw were due to phone requirement (even if its never used).

For example, i now have Google voice for checking voicemail and send and receive texts. i couldnt download on tge market, but someone had the working apk on freewarelovers.com

I see other apps that should work but say not compatible, and id like to help if its not difficult to do.

Thanks!

You will have problems with some Apps being reported as incompatible on the Android Market because you really aren't accessing the Android Market as Entourage Edge, but as a proxy device. The market is basing it's recommendations based on what it thinks your Edge is. The Amazon Android App Market does the same thing, albeit it does know what the Entourage Edge is. While it is nice to have Android market access, you may also want to have some alternate App Market Apps installed to try Apps being reported as not compatible with "your device", especially the Free ones. See my Resource Sticky for a good list of alternate App sites many of which have a Market App which can installed on your Edge.
