May be the app is not designed to run on our Android version.
Unless we know which apps, we can't really help you. Cheers |

I downloaded winamp v. 0.9.2 form the market and it installed properly.
You may want to try again to see if it works as it works for me. Cheers |

The parse error has nothing to do with the download process; rather it is the app installer's (obtuse) way of saying it doesn't know what to do with the file because it is meant for a newer version of Android only.
Rooting won't help unless you know exactly which parts of the newer version are needed and you can patch them in to create a frankendroid. |

if you root the device, you can "spoof" 2.2 by changing one line in one file with the root explorer app. see the top comment here:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...=112692&page=2 I've installed Adobe X and Alkido 2 since changing it in my PDN. I don't know what it takes to root the IQ, but other than that, this is a 5 minute procedure. |
