ok I am sure allot of us are getting frustrated with the lack of market support for apps due to the Screen resolution, or whatever reason... but what are some apps that are not supported by the play store that work fine... and also ones that crash or dont function properly
some apps you can DL on amazon appstore
works when sideloaded..
Xbox xmart glass
Cod:Elite
Modern Combat 4:Zero hour- the TB file is only 11mb... you need to let it download the 2gig of program files on first load but works great
doesn't work properly/ crashes
Angrybirds star wars (free)--- paid HD version is supported
Shadowgun THD --- invalid device ;( Bummer
SHADOWGUN DEADZONE update has been fixed...no more pink characters
what apps have you found?
USA Today
Tumblr
1weather
I pulled them off my old phone and side loaded them.
Almost every app that the market says is not compatible is. I tried so many apps via 3rd party sites since can't get on market and they work.

any one try xbox smart glass yet? i could not get it to work fro the market,
The game Rayman Jungle Run is marked incompatible in the Play Store, but on Amazon Apps it says it is compatible.
When sideloaded the game runs perfect, and it is gorgeous with those hand drawn art assets.
I hope they patch dead zone the game is so badass I even play it with the pink guys but I would like it to work

I haven't had this issue at all, almost all apps on the market work fine for me. I was even able to install the XDA App for Tablets directly from the Market (it works without a hitch). It makes me interested in sideloading some apps from my Prime, given the DNA does have a very high res display. Will post results.
Angry birds star wars HD starts up but when selecting a level it instantly quits.
Shawdowgun Thd is for Tegra chipsets only.

It's not available for the EVO 3D, but it's possible to get it on your phone by doing something like purchasing it on another (rooted) android, backing it up with titanium backup, and restoring the backup onto your phone (also with titanium backup).
EDIT: You can also trick the market into thinking you have a different phone that GTA is available for using a few free apps available in the market; however, I have tried a few different apps and haven't gotten them to work, but other users have reported it works for them.
I followed a market link when it first came out, the game runs fine, no issues.

I have it running flawlessly. However I didn't get it from the Android market on the phone. It installed and downloaded the "required files" without any problems.. Runs in HD, but the controls are a bit annoying, as with most driving games for touchscreen devices.
bought this the morning it came out and works perfectly, cant see why they removed it the next day...
I bought it from my PC via android market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rockstar.gta3&hl=en
It downloaded to my phone, I started it up and downloaded the SD Data.
Game runs GREAT!! Although you can't do the Sixaxis on the EVO 3D but you can on the Galaxy Nexus

Weird. I get a black screen with a white bar in the middle like it's downloading the extra files. But I can't see any text so I'm not sure what it's doing. And after letting it sit for about 10 minutes without the bar moving, I just uninstalled it thinking it wasn't optimized for our device yet
Lets make a list of working games on the Kindle Fire HD. Most of these games can be found on the Google Play Store from your Kindle Fire HD, others have been purchased but would not install unless side-loaded.

Apps from unknown sources are allowed on the kfhd, not just the ones in the amazon app store.
You can get free apps from websites like 1mobile, getjar, 4shared, and freewarelovers to mention a few.
You download the app as an apk file and install it after it completes. You'll find it in notifications tab and just click on it and then install.

Got it working on mine. Not rooted. Installed frameworks and then googleplay, open play and register ypur email, then close. This is only so gameloft games open since most of them (at least if you side load them) try to access google play somehow... this worked for me, but cant get to play Nova since it says is not compatible... well... Got modern combat for what its worth xP
Note: For the incompatible device I downloaded and apk I found on internet which had compatibility off. That did the job for me (Version 1.0.1). Hope it helps.

I had the same problem with 9mm on my s3. Again with mass effect infiltrator on my nexus. ME:infiltrator is EA though.
Transmitted from the cutting edge of my electronic shaving device
Here's my problem with the game... When i use TiBu (i'm rooted) to uninstall the game, it still shows in my app drawer. And after a reboot it fully reinstalls. Even if i didn't save a backup. How the hell do i permanently delete it?
I tried and tried to remove it, even went as far as manually deleting its folders from the system, but seeings as it does not use much space I just disabled it. I have not tried using titanium backup though so maybe try that if you want, besides you'd only reinstall it when JB update is released.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using xda app-developers app
I've settled with just freezing it in TiBu. That's the only way it disappears from my app drawer.
You can always just disable the app. Settings. Apps. Find the app select it and disable it. If it doesn't show the disable button. Uninstall the updates then disable.
I disabled the demo of MC3 but I still can't install the full version of MC3.

I just wanted to start a topic on tegra 3 and other games that work on the galaxy S4. Last night I did a little testing with a few Tegra games on the S4 that are not in the play store on the device that worked.
(Update) To find almost all games in Play Store follow thes 8 steps Carefully.
(I AM NOT RESPONSABLE IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE OR MESS YOUR PHONE UP. TAKE YOUR TIME)
1. Download this file. (Its used for another fix but helps us also
http://www.4shared.com/zip/66jo-mIz/Multi_DPI_Play_Store_416_for_J.html
2. Move zip file to internal SD Card
3. Reboot into revovery and flash Multi DPI Play store.zip with CWM or whatever flashing tool you use besides the stock then reboot.
4. Download ES File Explorer.
5. Hit menu and then "Root Explorer"
6. Hit "Mount R/W" (I just mount all 4 and press ok)
7. Now go back to main screen and tap the top bar and pick "Device" (so yoyur not searching the Sd the actual "Device" partition for system files.)
8. Look at the folders displayed below and tap the one that says "System"
9. Tap/Open the "build.prop" file with a text editor of your choice.
10. Change the line that says:
(ORIGINAL)
ro.product.device=..............
(The ... stands for whatever your device is. Its different for every one so I just put .... as an example)
(NEW/CHANGE TO **Only use one of these and dont copy whats in brackets**)
ro.product.device=softwin (Fakes JXD S7300b)(Recommended)
ro.product.device=olympus (Fakes Motorola Atrix)
ro.product.device=d2att (Fakes Samsung Galaxy S3 on att)
ro.product.device=grouper (Fakes Nexus 7 Tablet)
ro.product.device=tf300t (Fakes Asus Transformer Pad)
ro.product.device=GT-P7500 (Fakes Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1)
ro.product.device=maguro (Fakes Samsung Galaxy Nexus)
ro.product.device=tf201 (Fakes Asus Transformer Prime)
(Make sure you change what comes after the equals sign to "softwin/olympus/d2att/etc" no spaces)
11. Save, restart your phone.
12. Go to Aplication Manager in your settings. Clear data for Google Play Store.
FINALLY check the Play Store for a ton of new apps. Give it a few minutes to add the new apps well your searching. Takes a few minutes to see the changes and new apps!!!!!!!!!
ENJOY AND REPORT BACK IF THIS HELPS
So far ive found out that:
The Dark Knight Rises = Workes perfect so far. Great graphics.
(New) Dead Trigger = Working good no issues ive notice. Still trying it out but seems really good and fast loading.
(New) Gangstar Rio = Running perfect.
(New) Samurai II Vengeance = Working good, no issues as of yet.
(New) N.O.V.A 3 = Runs amazing havent had any issues.
(New) Wild Blood = Works fine. No issues at all.
(New)The Amazing Spider-Man = Working good. To bad drawing distance wasnt increased for the game seeing as the s4 has so much ram
(New) Rayman Jungle Run = Works great no issues. Looks nice on the S4.
Real Boxing = WORKING FOR THE FIRST TIME :~)
9mm = NOT WORKING. Non compatible message. Still trying different versions.
NBA Jam = NOT WORKING.
Wanted to add to the list Tegra games that can be bought in the app store (just for reference):
Riptide GP = Works great. Max out graphics settings in options for water splashed on screen, better waves and all around better graphics.
I know theres more in the Play Store just cant remember right this second.
Anyone who has tested Tegra games not purchasable and purchasable in the Play Store feel free to add to the list or do your own testing with different app Could be useful later on, obv the S4 can handle these games.

And from what I've experience, PS3 controller doesn't work that well (I only tested it using Bluetooth). You can use the d-pad, but the buttons on the right and the joysticks don't work too well.
Buy a Moga controller online it is compatible with most games. Download the Moga app to ger an idea of what games are compatible. Basically all the games ive been testing have been updated to work wirh the Moga controller. Looks like an xbox controller with a mount for yoyr cell phone atached.
