[Q] stupid android market - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I had a game from internet called the world of magic 1.1.0 and it worked perfectly on my glaxy 5 i5500 and now they updated it on android market and i cant download it anymore cause now it sais it wont work but it does. Most of the games work on android market that it sais it wont. So Im begging for help or advice what to do cause the game is my favourite. (i hate android market) I think it should be free to download any free game you want and see if it works or not or have the warning that it might not work and you can still download it. What should i do, cause i cant find the 1.1.1 update on google only 1.1.0. It's a free app too so no one has posted it anywhere. I was wondering that maybe Some of you could do the hassle and get me the apk of The World Of Magic 1.1.1 update. or should I somehow contact the game owners? which will take longer i think

I thought you can pay for it and if you change your mind, you have 15 minutes to uninstall to get a refund?

its a free game.. so what refund could i get? XD

Its not the market, on app upload the dev can specify a minimum DPI(ldpi, mdpi or hdpi) to install, so blame the dev.
Sent from... somewhere...

it really does suck. cause i contacted the game devs. they didnt even aprove my post on their forums. Stupid i tell you ... Its like this with most of the games. The games run on my phone but it sais its not compadible i think its cause i have small phone (galaxy 5 i5500)
I've tried rooting the phone or whatever but none of the rooting things work for me. Anyways i read somewhere when you root your phone you can change the name of ur phone so it would say something else for the phone name on the android market.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

The market looks at your dpi in build.prop, which governs the scale of the UI, so putting it above the default is a very bad idea, I tried it once take it from me.
Yes you require root for it though, possibly s-off

Well thats all stupid -.- im starting to hate the fact that I have decent phone and Im not able to download and try apps. The market thing is a fraud people should be able to download whether it works or not and just test themselves.
the world of magic

Wipe data and cache of market app. Then search the game, select it, and while its loading the page the download button is visible, so click it and there you go Well, please be aware that you won't receive any notification for available updates!
I've got the same problem all the time as the default dpi is way to high and makes the whole phone unusable in my opinion

Sony PlayStation games are anywhere from 10 to 15 years old, thats why they look this way, the tablet is working fine.
They're not going to look any better on a playstation; it's an old system and that's about as good as games got back then...
That being said, it's still fun and nostalgic to play some of those old titles!

So true! It will be nice to play those classic PS games one more time to remember old times! hehe but I must recognize that as many old video games, I didn't remember them looking so bad! haha but that's just my memory not the tablet!!
By the way there is a software rendering and some other settings for each game which help compatibility with psxperia on native emulator on experia play. See if it helps. I have not strated playing psx games on the tablet as i cannot attach a ps3 controller (maybe because im still on 3.1 fw) and for now xperia play experience is better

Im having trouble accessing the playstation.store and getting these 'free games'. I havent received any notification and the playstation app on Market doesnt seem like the right place.

I appreciate any help, thanks!,
Search for account manager.apk and install..after that u will be able to download free ps games

when you say I will eb able to download games, where from exactly?
I don't mean to sound thick- it may be right in front of me I just can't seem to find it.
Are you referring to the Account Manager available from Market?
Where exactly do you go after this has been downloaded because from what I can tell this is just need to run video and Music unlimited....
thanks in advance
there should be a PS store app installed on your tablet already

I had this, yet it wouldn't open. 1 factory reset later and it's no longer installed
I'll have to try to get my hands on the apk and install it manually. Hate having to find workarounds to things that should just work fine
try opening your video unlimited app; it's synced to the ps store somehow and last time I opened it was when it asked me to upgrade. Just a thought...
Im not sure what I did anymore, but its back now... might have goten it from a sony site

How to you prevent google play upgrade?

I have the apk for the 3.4.4 market. I froze the market updater but when I install the Market apk within 5 minutes it updates to play. Is there a way to prevent the upgrade?
What's the big deal with preventing the update? Looks like exactly the same market with a name change to me. Just wondering what I'm missing and in no way trying to be a jerk.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
You dont want to stop the update because if you do, you will not be able to get apps or update current apps with the old market.
Anything else that relies on the newer market will fail as well. I doubt you could stop it anyway..
Install an older version of the Market and use Titanium Backup to freeze the Market Updater...but there's no good reason to not update.
The new market is great! LOL, it is pretty much the same. The only difference if you have a tablet and that allowed you to purches music through the app. Again looks pretty much the same. New name

personally the name change is annoying as all hell, google quit trying to program your brand name in my brain, when i want to buy and app or something i want to go to the market or to the store, not go to the google and pick up a new app.
every-time i'm in a rush trying to pull something from the app market i can't find the bloody icon because i'm looking for the market or in the old location on my app drawer, minor change i know but i have caught myself cussing at google when i needed to re-d/l my gps app after it crashed during a trip i as on a few days ago.
any chance of renaming the new app back to market without root?
Just use a launcher and if already do, just change the name duh..lol that's what I did ....

I also would like to learn how to get around using Play. The new terms seem to allow Google to read my sms messages and record the message routing. I don't think my correspondents would appreciate having their thoughts being part of Google's repertoire.

What conspiracy theorist cooked that up?
The only way to get around using Google Play is to not use android. What you're asking is the equivalent of saying you want to use an iDevice without the app store.

Memory needs > any update
I have a very good reason for not wanting auto-upgrades. Radio Shack misled me about the HTC Wildfire S and now I've got jack for memory. I have four apps installed, use only the native message app, and I'm lucky to have 25mb free. Anything less than that and the phone works as well as the Pony Express does today.
FWIW, Tandybot told me I could always install apps on the SD card. In theory, yes, but so few app devs code apps to work in that manner. Lesson learned.
kite edit: SNIP! No need for that kind of attitude around here, I'm afraid.

That might be a difficult one to track down. Have you tried installing it from the web play store instead of from your device? Sometimes that works for some reason.

Ye tried that put had no joy
I've attached it to this post, not sure if its the latest version but its one I extracted from a phone running GB for my girlfriend after she had the same problem with it saying it wasn't compatible on her Nexus S with ICS.
Thank you
I recommend caution when installing these kind of apps from apks found on the web; there is always the chance that they have been modded to steal your banking info, so what I'd suggest for further updates is to try some kind of market enabler app rather than go online searching for it.
Don't say that i've already installed it you know when you download a app from the play store does it store it anywhere on your phone first
Hi guys, really appreciate the work you guys are doing, this is actually my first post, feel kinda bad that it's only because I want something. So apologies for that.
I currently have the RBS banking app installed on my Galaxy Nexus. However it has recently been updated to allow users to make cardless atm withdrawals. Probably because I have a rooted device google are not letting me update to that version.
I would be quite happy to make a donation if someone would post it for me, many thanks in advance.
Am I the only one here that know **** what going on here?

I too would really appreciate it if someone could post the latest app, or suggest a way to fool the market into thinking I'm running a different android version.

I don't think you can reset it. It syncs to a server. Although I could be wrong.

I think you're right, it's server based as it runs in real time whether you're in the game or not.
I have an issue though.. I have two devices and would love to have the game running on both.. the phone during the day and a tablet in the evening.. does anyone know where the account info is?, if I can copy the account data from my phone to the tablet (or vice versa) I could play from the last saved place each time.
Any thoughts?
I'm actually checking into this as well, as far as I can tell its in the root folder data/data/ea.comsimpsonsblahblahbl I can confirm that the "other" town is the files in save folder because I deleted them and now I force close ONLY when visiting other Springfield.

Your issue seems like it could be sorted by downloading it to both with same Google account no? Im not entirely sure as I only own phones but if it syncs online you would think right?

Search for "Game Killer" its like game CIH and game guardian but actually works, if you need a tutorial you'll have to wait until I'm home from work lol
Babbled from my Samsung Gnex
i'll try that game killer..
Just reset mines last night, you have to wipe everything and reflash your rom. Seem like the file that connect our phone to their server is hidden some where. And for whoever uses GameKiller cheats, before you close the game, make sure you buy the "Homer Buddha" until you get more Donuts.
on my galaxy s3 i just uninstalled and re-installed the game and my data was gone easy

I had figured out how to work Game killer, but when I went to the alternate universe, my donuts went back down to 2, I thot I had saved the hex addresses to go back to but its not there, any way u know the hex addresses I would need to change the donuts field for?
I actually had the same problem, tried a lot to find it again as well, what did work though was I bought a crap load of land in game and just spam bought dumpsters for 1000$ as they give you exp to lvl up the fastest, lvl up = donuts((to raise search value higher again, I recommend 5 donuts or above.))

Gamekiller download
Hi, can any of you link to the gamekiller apk please? I'm can't find it to download from anywhere I trust!
Also a tutorial on how to use it with the Simpsons tapped out would be great.
Thanks
There is also a modded apk floating around out there, I'm sure if you use Google you can find it.
The real trick is how do you reload your current world after reflashing a rom? I think a hard reset also disconnects you from your current world. The game server must have some way of identifying your phone, the phone name maybe?
That should allow you to play on multiple devices too. If you could figure out what the severs look for to identify your device.
has anybody found out how to put an old simpsons game onto a new phone?
I.e. i have a long gaming going on my old phone but i want to transfer it to my new phone.
My old phone is rooted and i find a file in .android_secure
new phone isnt rooted so cant access that folder to copy into it, if thats the right folder.
Not possible at all - it's linked to your device's hardware.

Can the user "Nephatiu" answer a few things..

The forum wont let me post on any developer thread so i cant post there, sorry >.<
I want to know if your root files for Bluestacks v0.8.1.3003 can work on the latest one, because downloading another 500MB would take me all night and if i can avoid that itd be better because my internet is so sloooooow >.<
The second thing is, well not completely about the root package but about the latest bluestacks 0.8.xxx, is it normal google play never works and basically just closes in a split second after opening? ever since i upgraded from 0.7.xxx google play simply doesnt work for me, and oddly, so does ADW Launcher (it works but after clicking it for a while it crashes the entire emulator) same goes for chrome and the gmail app... just thought id ask you this because you're the last person making root files for bluestacks and the only seeminly knowledgeable one since the bluestacks developers never reply to anything....

Well, haven't tried yet, since I always completely reinstall BlueStacks from anew. I suppose it should work for updates where they changed the emulator, but it's questionable for upgrades where they changed Android, because that would probably be in the rootfs.
So the only thing I can say is: If you're lucky. I would suggest backing up your old 'Root.fs' and 'Data.sparsefs'-directory, so when it doesn't work you can easily put those 2 back to revert.

Actually, at this end Google Play Store doesn't crash, nor does ADW (or I wouldn't have added it). I know Play Store didn't work for me in 0.7.x, but that got solved since 0.8. Did you freshly reinstall BlueStacks or have you always upgraded? Because upgrading could always be the culprit, seeing as it will probably not have been made to expect rooted systems...
Theoretically it shouldn't form any of a problem, though, but practice has proven theory wrong many times before... ;p
Anyway, I hope that sufficed for now...

I guess its worth it, no point in holding on to the current version of bluestacks if the newer version fixes stuff, and god knows the current version im on has its bugs, so buggy it could make an exterminator go bonkers if i had to be precise.

Ah, so this is where Bluestacks stores all the Android data apps make and the apps themselves and their settings? Whenever i previously tried to root Bluestacks id save the entire \Bluestacks folder in ProgramData as a backup incase things went south, keeping it to just those two files should make things easier...

Weird, we're at like opposite spectrums of it lol, for me 0.7 worked but for you it didnt while with 0.8 it did for you but not me. I wonder if the folks over at Bluestacks made it as a way to prevent users that were previously using the Play Store since companies have to license being able to use Google Play..
