Hi,
I am running printoid pro on various devices, love this application, so much better than the default web client from octoprint.
I recently bought a second hand nexus 7 (2012) because I wanted a bigger screen next to my printer. But to my surprise, google play store says my device isn't compatible... I don't understand. I have an even older tablet (galaxy tab 1 7") where its working without issues, but slow though. Also the reason why I bought a nexus 7.
I did flash a custom rom (Android 7.1) on the nexus, don't know if that matters. And I installed the APK by sideloading it, runs without any problems. Anyway, how can I install the application from the play store without spoofing my device?
ps. I also send this to the contact form, but thought I would also share it here, perhaps it can help others.
kind regards
Ido
Got the following reply from Anthony STEPHAN
Printoid is compatible with the Nexus 7 (2012). I have one of it and I can find Printoid on Google Play. Mine has a stock ROM ; so your custom ROM seems not compatible with the app (probably because the app needs the Google Play Services : may you've missed to flash them ?)
Dont know, other apps I can install using the Play store... I am trying the stock 5.1.1 rom and see if that works
Installed the stock 5.1.1. rom, but stil isnt compatible :( No clue what I am doing wrong
I do have an asus nexus 7 Wi-fi only model, could that be the reason
android.permission.CALL_PHONE ?

Hi Ido,
As you can see, both Nexus 7 2012 (3G and Wifi-only) are marked as compatible in the parameters of Printoid PREMIUM in the Google Play Console.
As I've said by email, I have no problem to download Printoid from Google Play using my own Nexus 7 2012 Wifi-Only.
Can you please tell me what is your Google Play Services version ? May they need to be updated

Thank you for your reply, strange it is
Google Play services = version 11.7.44
Google Play store = version 8.4.18.V-all
Running Android 5.1.1 (XenonHD ROM) and my device is rooted

That's strange. Your GPlay Services & GPlay Store seem up-to-date.
Also Printoid does not restrict downloads on rooted devices.
Probably that Printoid does not support your custom ROM.
May you can try to flash LineageOS 15 for the Nexus 7 (flo) : https://www.lineageosroms.org/forums/topic/lineageos-15-nexus-7-android-oreo-rom/
I've just flashed this ROM (based on Android 8) and works perfectly on the Nexus 7 2012. Printoid can be downloaded from Google Play without any problem
I will try to contact Google about that
Regards,
Anthony

About android.permission.CALL_PHONE :
This permission is not requested by Printoid (because the app does not need to perform calls)
Also, the hardware feature "telephony" is marked as "not required" :
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false" />

Thanks for the link, but I dont have the nexus flo (2013), but the grouper (2012).
Are you sure you could flash this rom? I am getting an error (signal: 4) when I want to start flashing this rom lineage-15.0-20171012-UNOFFICIAL-flo.zip
I do have the latest TWRP

Try another LineageOS, 14 for example. 15 is prerelease only

Now running android version 7.1.2
LineageOS 14.1-20170717
Still the same message. I am really confused
Must be some features that is incorrect on my device... but which one...
Hi,
I also asked this question on XDA, got a reaction
>>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.
