Alternative for side loading apps on player... - Nexus Player General

I'm not sure if this is been discovered, but I figured I'd post is here.
I just downloaded modern combat 5 on my Nexus player through the Google Play Store.
I had to do it through the actual player using the voice search function, but it allowed me to purchase it. DL-ing as we speak.

That's cool. I downloaded it through the browser on my phone.
It plays pretty good for about 45 min then it crashes the nexus player and reboots.

I sideloaded it a while ago and I haven't had any issues playing it.

update of sorts

I agree. I orignally bought Modern 4, and while I waited for it to DL, it figured I'd use the voice search in the store itself. Turns out, it opted to DL pt 5 rather than pt 4. Been playing it all this time with no issues whatsoever.
Additionally, I was able to DL SNES9x EX+ direct from the store, so I'm in Super Mario World heaven.

Really? No issues? How long do you guys play for on average?

I've put in a good or 4 hours worth. Additionally, I have NBA Jam on there...so much fun.

Mine is overheating.... I put an ice bag on it and I can marathon over an hour and a half of multiplayer.
Are yours seriously not having this issue? If not I should send mine in for a replacement.

I did about 2 hours of multiplayer with no issues. I am running rooted stock except for the Unleashed Kerenl

Hmmm... I wonder if the kernel has any effect? It is kinda new.
It's probably due to the fact that I am just so awesome at the game

Modern combat 2

I saw this game in the market, looks awesome, but I read a review that it's incompatible with the g2x. My question is, does modern combat 2 work on this phone. I really want to buy it.Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I really want Modern Combat 2. I didn't root, and am running on stock. I'm assuming CM7 is a modified ROM. Would Modern Combat 2 run on stock G2x?

Oh really? But do I have to go to Gameloft.com? I wanna do it from the android market from my phone. Is the one from the market compatible and do you have the game? thanks
Oh yeah I got it. Works great from gameloft.com I didn't buy it from the market because I wanted the free game.

I tried buying out from the game loft site but had technical difficulties so I just bought our from the market.any way it works although I bought out because of the gyro controls.how am io suppose to enable it?
i would suggest anyone looking for gameloft titles to go the gameloft.com FROM YOUR PHONE. you can 1)charge to your phone bill 2) there's a buy one get one free sale 3) if you buy via the sale... they're cheaper than buying regular (ie.. buy NOVA standalone is 4.99.. purchase on sale it's 2.99 PLUS a free game). I spet 12 bux and got a ton of great games that all work on the g2x. BUY THESE GAMES. Support gameloft so they can stop being punks and GO INTO THE MARKET FULLY.
<<< now awaiting the arrival of Order and Choas and 9mm. My days are getting longer...

That sounds great and all........but what about for us addicted with flashing ROMs. My experience with Gameloft.com in the past, is as soon as I switched ROMs I could no longer use the game because it was purchased under the previous ROM. I don't know if things changed, but it seemed Gameloft used to have their games on lock down pretty well before. If things have changed and we can use the same .apk throughout multiple ROM swithches, then sweet I'll be all over it. So let me know if anyone has tried purchasing these games off of Gameloft.com and tried using them after flashing different ROMs.
I use titanium backup to restore em.. no problems what so ever chief. I just flashed back from CM7 (2.3) to stock today.. picked up right where I left off.
Also make sure you keep you're APKs in case you need to reinstall. secondly.. i read somewhere yesterday (and tested it) Gameloft lets you redownload apps as long as you can log back in.

Sweetness!!! That sounds awesome. Guess now that I think about it I never used TiBu in the past to restore my games because I used to have problems in the past. This was from my N1 times. LOL! Ok, though, thanks a lot for your response, that's exactly what I wanted to hear.
just remember if you switch from stock to cm you have to copy the gameloft directory over. (needs to be on external sd for CM7 and internal memory for stock).
EDIT: also.. i tried downloading some games I purchased on my G2 and got a "this is not an orginal.. bla bla bla" error. Hopefully they're working on it.. doesn't look like "cross device" installs will work. they're still device specific.. but cross roms is works with titanium
yea btate sometimes when i switch roms i go to titanium to restore some of my games n i get the error ur talkin about
really? that's odd.. i just flashed CM7 again and restored via titan and all is peachy (wanted to fact check so I didn't mislead anyone). However reinstalling with the APK.. that's a problem. Titanium solved that issue for me.
which games were you trying to run? i darn near have them all so maybe that issue could be game specific? (i didn't run each one. just spot checked 2 of them)
Also.. make sure you're copying your gameloft directory to the right place.

Ah ok good stuff. Yeah I remember the games always making a Gameloft directory folder on the external sd. I'll remember to copy it over. Right now I'm on EB1.0.4FR, so I'm still pretty much on stock ROM. But yeah, I can understand when you try to play a game you downloaded for a previous model phone on your new phone that it gives you that bullcrap error. BAH!!! Oh well! Hopefully they fix it, but I won't get my hopes up. LOL!
nova and nfs shift and sometimes it says something about a copy???
were they originally purchased on the G2X? like i said.. i can't get any of the games I purchased on other hardware to run.. but I can anything I purchased on teh G2X over different roms... at least starfront is working. I am starting to have a sinking feeling that I should just insert foot to mouth. i'm going to switch back to stock momentarily and double check this. oy vey.

This is why I refuse to buy games from Gameloft.
just confirmed. starfront DEFINITELY works across different roms. restored from backup on CM7... played fine.. just went back to a nandoid stock rom.. playing now.. picked up right where I left off. mileage varies i guess
well.. going forward, theoretically the ones you guy from the market should work accross devices.. which is why i'm suggesting everyone support and show gameloft YO.. GET YOUR BEHIND IN THE MARKET! maybe my thinking is backwards.. but I want gameloft to know that the android community supports them and we're willing to pay if they get off their behinds with that awesome catalogue of games.

Order and chaos finally out but do i buy from android market place or gameloft site??

Its just appeared on both the android market and the gameloft site on my phone. The gameloft site sells it for £3 and the android market for £4.99. Would both include correct optimization for xperia play controls? Anyone know? Also is it true that if I buy from gameloft site then change phone sometime I won't be able to redownload but I can if I get it from the market? Please respond soon as I'm itching to buy it

Ok I gave in and bought from Android market (in case I ever change phone) I'll find out the hard way if the controls work
I loved Order & Chaos on iOS. I'll be buying it too, but first I'll keep peeled to see how you like the controls
Its a ***** to get gameloft to send you the apks again. When I wiped my phone I asked them and they flat out told me I never bought the games. Luckily I realized I had the apks on my SD card still

The other issue is if you buy from the gameloft store, you can never use that apk on another android device. They are always tied to the device type. I learn that lesson the hard way. I had 6 games from them on my droid x, couldn't install a single one on my XP.
I'll never buy another gameloft game, or that BS from the ea flexion store.
If you bought legitmently the game,just google deeper to retain
I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
Just bought it on the market so I can install it on my Xoom as well.

Wow, really? They've been good about giving me the latest APKs when I have an issue.
The purchase history section of their mobile store is unreliable at best, but when I provide proof of purchase (I ALWAYS buy through Amazon Payments so I have an undeniable source) they usually send me the APK... and have even given me free games to make up for issues I've had :\
Ok I bought it from android market, the xperia play controls do not work and seems to be no option to enable them? I waited all this time to buy it too... Should have just googled for it ages ago eh...since gameloft spent so much time on NOT optimizing it.

Funny; I was just wondering the same thing and bought it from the Gameloft Store based on that thought...
As a side note, I notice the Amazon Payments option is gone >_<, but on the plus side there's now an account system (and an e-mail notification upon purchase) so I have a more reliable system of seeing what I purchased. That was a VERY necessary change.
I'll report if my story's any different after the data download is complete. Right off the bat I don't see it in the Xperia PLAY Game Launcher... not a good sign.
I hope it's just an update issue and will be fixed soon.
FFFF.... subscription expired... damn, it wasn't that long since I ditched iOS.
...anyway, I can't report anything because my subscription's up and the son of a ***** subscription service is down (apparently it's been down for days too).
Awww.. was hoping to find out, if anyone else tests out the gameloft site's download of Order and Chaos on Xperia play can you let us know if the controls work? Its just touch screen which is ok...but disappointing....

Well, I've been questioning Gameloft on the issue, and from what they say - it may just be a bug (does Gameloft have a error testing staff? Surely someone is testing to avoid these major issues...).
Gameloft's good about giving away free stuff to distract us from issues... hopefully they'll just bump my subscription some months or something so I can find out if this is really Xperia PLAY Optimized... or at least play while I wait for a version I can play without (lame) touch controls.
Thanks mate, been waiting for a while - id always buy from the market, more resiliance in the long run!
We should all join a guild together, what server are you going on (i'd recommend the top one)
I don't have an account so I'll have to wait until the subscription service errors are fixed.
Thanks, ive emailed them too. I made a char on the European server, storm cape.

Well I downloaded it and it seems fun but there is a lot of lag. Like when I cast a spell the animation and everything plays but the spell itself won't cast well after it's cast time. Also adding xperia play support would greatly enhance the experience as it's pretty annoying at times with the touch screen controls.

.10 Cent Apps Android Market

The Android Market for the next 10 days will be having 10 apps for .10 each.

Not sure if SwiftKey X will work on the Kindle but I bought it for my phone I think it is the best keyboard on the market.
still trying to get asphalt 6 working :-(
I got Minecraft, and it works fine except for some bug that causes the screen to be covered in a "This server has restarted" message. Going to try Chainfire and see if I can fix it that way.

Weird, I played with my brothers just fine yesterday over Wi-Fi, and worked flawlessly. Not running Chainfire.
There's a Kindle Fire version of Asphalt 6!? Toooooooooo late!
Fruit Ninja is a great game but I already have it and I suspect many others do too.
I ended up buying both versions of Reckless Racing, sort of by accident, but I figured I may as well keep both around in case my phone only works with the regular version. The PLAY version works great on the Fire.
NFL Rivals doesn't work. Launches, goes through loading screens, lets you customize your player... then crashes when you actually get to the gameplay. Looks like a huge number of reviewers had similar problems. Even at $0.10 I got a refund. Backbreaker did the same thing on my phone; it was the free app of the day on Amazon and despite working the day I got it, it hasn't worked since. NaturalMotion must only own one or two Android devices and not bother testing on multiple hardware configurations.
The Christmas HD live wallpaper is actually pretty cool. Haven't bothered setting up the Fire to work with live wallpapers but I put it on my wife's Nook Tablet and she loves it. Highly configurable.
For Apps that do not show in the Google Market, buy them via the market.android.com, then go to My Apps in the Market (on Kindle) and the App will appear. Select the App to download. I did this for Need for Speed Shift and a few others.. Works like a charm.
I'm sure most already know this, but Amazon's doing the same thing in addition to the daily free app.

Google’s “Longest Day Deals” Offers Up $0.99 Cent Apps For One-Day Only

From TmoNews...
Help Google mark the summer solstice with their “Longest Day Deals,” a promotion reducing several popular Android apps all the way down to $0.99. Highlights include NBA Jam, Grand Theft Auto III, Draw Something, Shazam Encore, Mass Effect: Infiltrator, and more. Better act quickly as this is a one-day-only deal so don’t waste any time thinking about picking these up, just grab them before the sun sets.
Thanks for the heads up.

They had a few decent music albums worth a purchase. It's a shame I can no longer use Google Music on my phone, though, since I've flashed too many ROMs without first being warned that I wouldn't be able to re-authorize my device after too many flashes. I'm going to have to put those on my phone the old fashioned way.
I didn't see much for apps worth purchasing, though, but I did get Mass Effect.

fpse roms

Hello, I had a pirate fpse app and had trouble with the license check failed but got a serious spanking from admin for talking about this, so I did the right thing and go out and buy the app but I now have trouble with 2 of my favorite games, street fighter 3 alpha & mortal kombat trilogy. Both of my games have now froze on a black screen when trying to load up, I have uninstalled and then installed but still have the same problem, does anybody out there have a fix or know where I could pick a working Rom online.
Thanks in advance.
Ps sorry admin, I hope you are allowed to ask about roms online? If not please feel free to close this thread.
I'm not surprised you got a lashing for mentioning using pirated software. Glad you purchased the app, as the devs really do great work, and deserve the measly couple of dollars.
Using game ROMS off websites is fine, but the disclaimer usually mentions that you should own the game if downloading a ROM.
At one stage I played MK3, so it must be the ROM you are using. Have you ever successfully got it to work? Like prior to your purchase?

Yes this is correct, I was able to play both games before installing the paid app. I am currently searching the net but struggling to get any download from various sites, and yes I did own these games in the past but are long gone now.

Have you check the video setting since purchasing the app what device did you use it for. I have nexus seven and i played street fighter alpha. I had bit trouble creat the files with the tools i found online but there is a site called cool roms that has the files. You must own the game first.
