I've been trying to sideload some games such as Asphalt 6 and Gangstar Miami Vindication but i haven't been able to get them to work. Has anyone been able to get these to work or have installed other great games?
I have asphalt 6 hd running perfectly, however i did buy it when it was 10 cents. so the issue may be in license verification. but to be sure, try to download the app again from a different website(4shared, mediafire, etc)
Make sure to add .apk when you search for an app. for example if you search Asphalt 6 HD, you type it like, Aspahlt 6 HD.apk
the .apk the type of file android uses for apps/games.
P.S. sorry if you already knew all of that stuff^ just trying to help

See when it was 10 cents it said my Nook Tablet was not compatible. So i got the apk and after i installed it it said it had to download the game files and when i started the download it just force closes.
i bought the app through my phone and then went to my nook and check the my apps part of the market it was shown and installed through there.
try clearing data for the app
Well at least i know it's possible, now to find an apk that actually works...
I have Asphalt 6: Adrenaline on my Captivate. It runs ok usually, but some times it gets very choppy and unplayable. I want to try it on my NT. I could not find it on the Market of Amazon App Store so I used Titanium Backup and Dropbox to back up, move the files, and restore. The app shows up on the NT but when you I try to open it, it says that it is not compatible and that I should request a refund.
My NT is on 1.4.0, rooted (Nook&Zergy) with OTAs blocked.
Has anyone figured out how to get this game working?

Thanks!

I couldn't get FIFA to work using this method, although Worms works just fine. FIFA always crashes back to the launcher upon start...
Got FIFA to work, you need to install the apk instead of just moving it to system/apps. Or at least that's what I did to end the crash at start problem.

Now I realized that it installs, but the problem is when trying to download the extra 40 MB of content, it won't let me.. Is there any way you could upload the extra data somewhere?
The extra stuff should be either in sdcard/android/data/Com.eamobile.fifa/files or /data/data/com.eamobile.fifa/files
I'll try when I get home, my work blocks all of the filesharing sites, what's a good free one to host it to? Or I could just rar it in ~10mb chunks and email it to you, whichever is easiest.

I installed the files, but it keeps asking to download when FIFA is started. Also, I tried finding the .apk for the game, and I can't locate it anywhere!
Stock v.1.0.1, I can try to get you the apk when I get home.
I have Chainfire, and I have the APK but I have no idea how to get the extra game data to download. I tried changing my build prop but that didnt help. Does anyone know how to make it download the data or where I can download the data. Every Google search I did returned downloads for the data but they all said the files had been deleted.
It works for me now with the new update from the game.

Not sure if this will help, but this is how i was able to get it to work.
If you (or anyone you know) has an android phone, install the apk. to the phone. Update the app if it isnt already updated. Donwload the data. Then, move the data from the phone SD card to your Nooks SD Card. It should be saved under Android-data-com.eamobile.nfsshift_na_wf.
I will say that after I did this, i had to reset my Nook to get the app to notice the data, but it works fine now.
Hope that helps.

This is because his phone has a PowerVR (like the NC) gpu while yours probably has a qualcomm or nvidia. You need the correct type of sd card data.
I bought this an was really enjoying Shift until I had to re-image the NC.
Now, I have an odd issue. In the Market, I can't even see NFS Shift. However, on my other NC, I can see NFS Shift and can download again if needed.
How do I get my re-imaged NC to see it in the Market to re-download?
Thanks!

The android market is a fickle thing. I flashed the same ROM (CM7n253) to multiple Nooks. Only one of them won't allow me to download Google Earth because it's "incompatible." The only difference between the devices is that I assigned them unique IMEIs. I put "Blood and Glory" on my NC and I was going to put it on the others only to find that it doesn't show on the market. Checked market website and sure enough it's listed as "incompatible". Checked my NC and now it's listed as "incompatible" too. Good thing it's a free app, I just titanium backed it up and loaded it on the others. I really wish android market had an advanced mode where you could ignore it's "compatibility" settings.
I'd also like to have a way to gift games (a la steam) cause I would have bought a lot more at the holiday sale if I could have just emailed the codes or had it open on their markets.
apk and data from a Droid X
I installed the apk from my Droid X (which I purchased) along with the data but when I attempt to start the game I get an error message that says "Error (Airplay v4.3.10 [2599558]) S3E_DEVICE_PHONE_NUMBER: This device don't have a phone number!".
Thoughts anyone?
UPDATE: The game starts after I click off that error message. However, even though the game will see the data from my previous game play from my Droid X (money, experience points, etc) it still displays the message "If you want to purchase the full game." even though the copy off of my Droid X was purchased. It also doesn't let me change tracks either so I'm stuck on the Tokyo one.

its not promotion..Its the new way to make money off paid by giving it for free......developed by Getjar....its not piracy at all,I dont know how it works....I downloaded BW from there long time ago and still running rock solid...
Guys, this is not piracy, it's a new "Gold App Sale" by Getjar. There's some great apps in there too!
the only thing i cant get to download on the TP is Tapatalk
edit: anyone know a quick download code?
Seems like some cool apps here not sure how to get them on the touchpad though as it doesn't seem to be a supported device.. Any ideas? Where do I get the getjar app I don't see it on their page anywhere...
use the default android browser and make sure you have it set to mobile. when you browse to http://m.getjar.com it will auto download the apk and you can install that way

they're different in the fact that they are currently updated very slowly... getjar just made it available to have developers push their updates... before, you had to know there was an update and redownload the app... i got my first push yesterday, so i see it's working
getjar makes money by sponsors... you'll see them throughout the site
Same problem as other, when i search/enter the code for the app (in my case it's Tweetcaster Pro, Tapatalk and Splashtop Remote Desktop) i get the "no compatible version for my device" text which is ridiculous because i have a Captivate and the Android Market shows those apps just fine. Any ideas? Can someone post the .apk i mean if they are free its not illegal right? And also if i get the .apk, will it update automatically when with the new push system from GetJar?

Thanks, it only worked for Splashtop, TweetCaster Pro and Tapatalk keep saying the device is not compatible i mean wtf!?!? I tried with GS II and Galaxy Nexus and both say not compatible. Anyone that has already downloaded Tapatalk from the GetJar app can tell me the device they are using and the name code so i can modify the Build.prop and download the app.
ro.product.model=GT-i9100
ro.product.brand=samsung
it has worked with everything in getjar... i have a crash here and there but they all have downloaded...
if you've changed this... reboot... it took awhile for google's android market to see the change... i probably restarted 3 times... even went into webos once and back to cm7...
the only thing i've had a problem with working at all (it did download) is Advanced Task Manager
i get:
Sorry! The application Advance Task Manager (process con.arron.taskManager) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
edit:
just tried another app... Aces Jewel Hunt downloaded and installed but closes right after the splash screen opens
Yhea i tried with that. i wasn't able to download the Splashtop before changing the build.prop and after changing that and rebooting i could. But i couldn't download the other two apps, i mean i even tried going on the browser to getjar.com and changed my device to the i9100 and even there i can't seem to get the code for the download because i get the same message that my device isn't compatible and im talking about the PC browser. Im gonna change again to the i9100 on the phone and wait a day or so and try again from the app, i don't understand why i have to do all this the app should be compatible.
Thanks again for the suggestions though
(Note: I'm running CM7 on my Nook Tablet, the current public alpha release.)
I've been having a pretty bad day since I think I may have wasted my money on purchasing Plants vs. Zombies from the Android Market; it just won't run. I've let it install updates, but once I see that hourglass load screen it crashes and I'm back at my home screen; no force close messages, nothing.
Another strange problem is that now I can't re-download it from the Android Market on my Nook Tablet. I cleared the cache and wiped the data for my Market and for some reason that made it disappear from the market. When I browse the market on my PC, it now says that Plants vs. Zombies is incompatible with my Nook Tablet even though it said it was compatible when I installed it! WTF. I even re-flashed and I still can't get it from the market on my tablet now - I had to download it via my phone and use Titanium Backup to get it to my tablet.
Can anyone help me out with this? Between the game not working and the android market acting weird towards me, this is turning out to be a pretty annoying experience.

I've seen it before (with a drawing app ... can't quite remember the title) where the versions on the different app stores were different, and one worked and the other didn't. Sketchpad, I think. That may be the case here. Now that you've got it installed, can you clear data on it? And, do you have an SD card installed? I know there are some significant resources, and it may be hard-coded to look for an SD card.

Those games are showing as blocked on mine as well. They may just represent game makers no longer supporting the devices we are spoofing (Galaxy Tab and Nexus One). You can always try changing your build.prop to get the new games but you may lose access to others.
Thanks for the tip. I've never modified my build.prop. What would be a good value to change to? And what is the best way to modify that file?

You can use root explorer or ES file explorer. The value to change it to has historically been a combination of Nexus One and Galaxy tab settings. I currently have those settings on my nook and it is showing incompatible for the games you've listed. It may be a good idea to try Galaxy S or pure Galaxy tab (SPH-P100 or GT-P1000) since those are all PowerVR devices so there won't be incompatibilities with the games you download.
Well, it seems that no matter what method I try, I can't get /system to mount r/w. I found something suggesting that I need ro.secure=0 in some file (maybe build.prop or maybe default.prop), but I think I'm getting beyond my knowledge and comfort level.
I finally was able to edit build.prop using Root Explorer (should've just bought that a long time ago). However, I can't figure out the right things to edit. I've tried changing the model and manufacturer to the values for Galaxy Tab, Galaxy S, and my Evo Shift, but none make these games available. Clearly, I'm missing something that needs changed.

It has worked for me before, just changing model and brand, then clearing data from google play and rebooting. But I tried it yesterday for six-guns and it didn't work, I used SPH-P100
Hmmm...didn't clear data for Play. Let me try that.
Ok, that let me get Sims Freeplay, but not the others. I even tried loading an "unlocked" Play apk. Aggravating.
I finally wised up. I downloaded the games to my phone, backed up with Titanium, copied the backups to my Nook, and restored.

Well at least is bypassing the device check, since its downloading the content. I was thinking you might need to use Chainfire3d to make it work smoothly. But we'll see what happens. If it works you think you could post a link for the apk you extracted from your phone?
Yeah, if it works, I'll do that.
You have to clear data from play store and google services framework.
Sims shows the splash screen then goes back home. Six Guns and Skyfall appear to work.
I'm apparently too dumb to figure out where the apk files are, so here are zips of the three files created by Titanium. Just drop them into your TitaniumBackup folder on your SD card (might require a reboot), then you can "restore" them through Titanium.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ycypyd923wuzoh0/SixGuns.zip
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yseekyj5jxrvbcj/Skyfall.zip
Oh, and clearing data on Google Service Framework didn't help me.
OK, so maybe Six Guns doesn't work. It sort of works, but it's not right.
