Just installed SailfishX, and Google Play. Wanted to install Garmin Smartphone Link, but Google Play says the Android version does not meet the requirements. The requirements state Android 4.4, which is exactly what was specified for SailfishX. Any ideas?

you need to use an older version of play store (and stop auto update) as the newer version doesn't allow uncertified devices anymore.

Just out of interest I ran the hardware analysis in Kinemaster (video editing) and it came back as detecting android 4.4.4 (KM 4.2.0.9810.GP)

same thing happens for me with Suunto Movescount and Nettiauto (which requires 4.0.3). My guess is, that those apps query for specific cabability, instead of just version number, and that check is somehow not working.

campeon ( 2017-10-21 00:00:19 +0200 )editI was trying to install Sound Blaster Interconnect which requires Android 4.0.3 but can't install because the device isn't compatible. Too bad Google doesn't tell you what's the reason for incompatibility.
