Android app not comptible but listed to be compatible

I developed an Android app and released it on Google Play yesterday. The only problem is that I can't install the applicatien from the market on my own phone (HTC DESIRE/BRAVO). It is listed to be compatible with htc desire but when I try to download it it says it isn't. I rooted my phone and have BCM ICS 4.0.3 CM9 installed. Could this cause the issue? How can I make it compatible? Thanks

Edit: Is it possible to adjust something in the code?

Solution

  • Yes a custom rom can make apps appear to be incompatible even when they are. A common issue is when it uses a non standard screen density setting in an attempt to gain more screen real estate.

    If you do have a modified density, you could try setting it back to the default for your device. http://wccftech.com/article/increase-screen-dpi/
