the link works fine for me... but shouldn't this thread be in the themes and apps forum?
i couldn't figure out how to play using the sixaxis app but what controllers are compatible?
the link is working, but I can't download because it is saying that none of my devices are compatible with the game. The A500 is in the list of compatibles devices.
Does anybody known how to resolve this?
I was using the Thor rom and couldn't get the game because it kept saying my device was incompatible. I switched over to the Honeylicious rom, the game downloaded fine and it runs without a problem.

I'm on stock 3.2 unrooted. Any ideas?
Not sure why you wouldnt be able to get it on stock 3.2... Im on a rooted 3.2 and it dled without any issue...
I'm still running stock 3.2 and it downloaded with no problems for me.
me too, market says my acer iconia is incompatible when I checked just now. I remember that it was still compatible a couple of days ago when it was released. I should have downloaded it then.
Any reason for rockstar to remove a500 in the compatible list?
It happenned to me also. I was on Lightspeed 1.7 , I switched to Honeylicious and same problem.
It works very well on the Acer tab a500. Don't know why it's not available on the Market.
Hopefully, the apk is available elsewhere...
works well with my iconia (lightspeed 1.0.7) and xbox 360 controller

Where did you get it from?
Is it available for you in the market or did you get it from other sources?
I'd hate to go to the tpb when i'm willing to pay.

Same here, no GTA III : 10th AE for me. A501 from frys.com. 3.0.1 on board. It shows in Tegra Zone, but after redirecting to Market it says it cannot be found or sth like that.
Brutalpanda,
As everybody knows, they're other places than the Android Market to get apps for android devices on internet...
This was a very poor decision by RS Games. I bought the game on December 15 much like many other people on here probably did. I still have the game installed and everything runs well, but I would now be forced to backup the apk in order to make sure I can reinstall it later if I were to switch roms or whatever. Hopefully they bring support back soon, would be nice being able to download future updates.
I a company makes it harder (and really in this case impossible) for me to purchase something from, how could I feel guilty for obtaining it surreptitiously?
p.s. pirate bay is wholly unnecessary

I believe I went with the third link, but first looks the same
Ok enough with the BS.
I got it, it runs fine on my Iconia.
I don't know what incompatibilty there is, but I've been trying for three days to get it from the android market. three days!
I flashed several different roms on my device including asus and motorola based ones! I even unsuccessfully tried to change my build.prop.
Nobody can say I didn't try.
I got it from a famous link site, I should have started there, i would have played the game the whole week-end instead of flashing roms.
Nicely done Rockstar.

Which is exactly why I changed my rating from a five to a two.
"I currently have the game installed in my Acer Iconia Tab A500 and everything works perfectly. It seems that Rockstar Games has decided to remove support for my device at least for the interim and I don't really appreciate that. It works very well for my particular device and Rockstar Games is now shooting itself in the foot since some people with unofficially supported yet capable devices will be unable to obtain the game legitimately which means their only option will be piracy."

Hi, thanks for checking this thread.
I was wondering if anyone knows if the Gameloft games that I have bought for my Iconia a500 will work after updating my tab with Dexters PRIMEE port?
I hear it is a pretty solid rom and I hate to not do it. But I don't want to lose my games.
I've already lost them once when I returned the first Iconia to BestBuy. I had to go through Gamelofts Customer Service to get the games back. Fortunately they were awesome to deal with.
I don't know how the games are authenticated. It's just that I am not certain whether my tablet will still pass if make changes like that to it.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Well, you could use titanium backup to, erm, backup your games + data, then make a nandroid backup using CWM, install Primee, then restore your games using titanium again.
Thanks for that. If I decide to go with PRIMEE I'll definitely go that route.
Appeciate the help.
No problem. If you have the time, give Prime a go. 3.1 feels faster and works great.
even with my phone i rarely use nandroid i just make frequent baclups in titianium. once in a while it loses my homerun 3d battle

First, thanks for everything Dexter, I appreciate you taking the time to help out here. Don't know how you possibly do it all.
The Gameloft store is where I bought my games as well.
Question.
Did you buy Asphalt6 before you made and installed that way cool rom of yours on your tablet? If so did you re-install it from the apk, or did you just go back to the Gameloft store on your device?
The reason that I ask is that when I returned my tablet I couldn't get to those games online to put them back on the new tablet. I actually had to go through customer service at Gameloft.
Why?
It seems that when I bought my games using the a500 at the Gameloft store, They didn't give me, the owner, an account for the games. They assigned an account to the tablet. Perhaps I should have bought the games through their webpage on a pc. I may have been better off...
Anyway, I am pretty sure that's why I had trouble and also why I am concerned. If my tablet doesn't identify as the tablet that the games are associated with, I don't think that they will re-install.
So I suppose that the real question is this. Will the Rom change whatever the identifier is that the apps look for? I figure that it is the serial number and possibly the model number too. So everything will be most likely be fine. But after what it took to get them back I'd like to be certain.
Thanks in advance for taking time for this. And thank you for sharing your Rom with us. Great job.

probably why asphalt works fine..
i copied it before i formatted it, and then installed again. but here, its the same tablet..
Right on, thanks for confirming that.
Anyone heard anything about when the tablet optimised version of this is likely to hit? I've got it running on the Iconia but it's not the smoothest experience. Much better on my Xperia Arc at the moment! Hoping 3.1 will bring an improvement.
when you say running how long does it last before it FC? I just walk for less than a minute it bam fc....
works great for me. Only the character select screen lags a bit. I'm using 1.0.1 on the leaked 3.1 build.
Mine doesnt crash but the display doesnt fit properly and it lags. However I am still on 3.0.1 so heres hoping it will work after update!
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
Wow OK updated to 1.0.1 and its very good, even the cut off parts are gone. Well what I mean is there is no more cut off well just look at the pics below I'm currently using virtous Picasso 1.0.2 and other was on prime rom.
How did you get it to run on the Iconia?
Market wont let me download because its not compatible with my Acer A500??
Edit: nevermind, did a search for all devices version and could install the bugger
Purchased it from a compatible device tho, just to be on the legal side....
Question now is: i wont get updates the normal way now because Iconia market does not show the game even if purchased, grmpf:
Guess for the long term we have to wait for a lazy gameloft dev to extend the compatibility list for the game (played about 2 hours w/o a single crash yesterday, so the Iconia can handle the game sweetly.
Anyone managed to buy stuff @ ingame store?
For me connection just times out...

Yeah, same here. Times out every time
dont know if it just me but anyone have the "your system is not compatible"?
I been playing really good logged off then I tried logging back in and nada.
Maybe Gameloft finally detected the non approved system and blocked it?
No such issue here...
For me it force closes from time to time just after during startup (same applies to some other games/apps).
Also i had a "License invalid" once, but after another restart it was ok.
Thank you kekinash, I don't post much but this site is and the people in it are the best. I had to take a moment and Thank you all for every thing I have been able to do with my phones and my Acer. The stock rooted 3.2 for the Acer is GREAT, and was so easy to bring up from the first rooted 3.1 I updated from. Please every one read the devs posts take your time and understand what you are doing and the wealth of information from these people will make Android a great experience for newbies like me.
Thanks many thanks again!
I totally agree. Without this site I might have had to jump ship ion my iconia and switched to an iPad!
I kid I kid! I hope nobody kills me for that!

Bang Bang......you're dead!
Has anyone been experiencing force closes with 3.2? I cant play some games like Wind-Up Knight on my tablet.
The only force close I have had is the system settings about, as I have the APK that kills the telephony and phone APKS (my battery lasts for days and days now btw) if I reenable these then it does not force close. havent tried that particular game yet but when I first loaded 3.2 golf wouldnt work, I uninstalled and reinstalled the golf and now it works, Try it what could it hurt? also go into the apps and clear the cache from that particular app, then restart the tab and see if that works? I am no expert but at least here is a place to start...
I just sucked it up, did a backup, wiped, and reflashed. All is well now.

ezTerry on this forum has a "near stock" rooted rom.. flashed with CWM same as any other I believe .. Jump into the A500 development forum and you'll see it (about 3/4 of the way down first page I think it was last time I looked)
I used this one
and have NO ISSUES!!! everything works including 1.4.1 Netflix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290318
Tested Skype, WIFI tether to my Bionic, cameras, everything I could think of and it all works,
Thanks again kekinash !!!
and READ HIS DISCLAIMER!!! he has done this for us as a huge favor!!!
Ordered a kindle for 190$ free shipping off ebay, should be here by tomorrow or wensday
Just a few Questions...
1) Im aware google play isnt on the kindle fire. I KNOW you can install it and im planning on using the kindle fire utility. But I also heard of many people saying the apps say its not compatible?? Is this on basically all the games? Amazon apps store is good enough for me but I really enjoy Draw something on my android phone.
2) I know you can use launchers... so can I basically run ICS without having to flash anything? I know not actually ICS, but Will it actually work like a normal android tablet?
3) Is their any other cool things I can do with it?
Thanks for the answers
1. Yes, a lot of things don't work by default, but there is an easy work around for it to give you access to more.
2. If I understand this question correctly, yes. You will be able to install whatever launcher you want and configure it however you want and it can work like a normal Android Tablet.
3. Well ICS is actually working pretty well on the Kindle Fire if you get into flashing ROMS. Other than that there's plenty of games and emulators if you're into that.

Whats the easiest work around? I've been searching for a few hours and I want to get the most out of google play on my kindle fire without installing a bunch of stuff.. Its not that im lazy, but im a pretty casual user and wouldnt want to risk bricking anything.
Here's a link to a thread about it for CM7 and here's one for ICS. If you're staying rooted stock I'm not sure what you'll need to do.

hmm... So it will work with any ICS rom?
Thinking in to it installing ICS would be nice to use it like a normal tablet
Yeah, that's for any ICS. Hardware acceleration isn't working for ICS yet so some videos don't work, but other than that ICS runs great.

Does youtube/netflix work?
HD youtube doesn't, some videos do. Netfilx does not yet, but devs are hard at work on getting it working and will have HWA relatively soon, although it could still be a number of weeks.

Ouch, I use Netflix all the time but I guess its a trade off for now.. Same thing with flash?
Could Netlix work if it just didnt play in HD?
Same thing with flash, I would suggest just using a CM7 rom until HWA gets fixed then, Netflix and other videos are working for them.

I think I am running Skimp Killah, but I have been switching pretty consistently.
I still got
cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-jem
and
cm-12.1-20161016-NIGHTLY-jem
I'm done with this device, but seems that a lot of people having trouble finding a good Android rom for it. I've tested bunch of other roms such as Candy 5 and Lineage 14 but none of them runs smoothly as CM11.
CM12 is a bit laggy compared to CM11 but both are pretty usable. If you don't mind older 4.4 then use CM11. If you don't mind a bit lag use CM12.
My dad, however (the device is my dad's) manage to get it into bootloop multiple times with CM11, I don't know how; probably because bunch of "booster" craps he installed there, while on my test with daily regular use for about two weeks or so, seems to be VERY stable.
The device itself however, is waaay too old and outdated for more hardware intesive like 3D games and such. I cannot even get the dynamic background on Retroarch, so I don't bother trying it at all. For other casual stuffs, just some very rare occasional hangs while watching youtube, but that's all as far as I can remember. Chrome works well too. 1080p movies can play well with MXPlayer pro.
But in the end rather than get naggings by my dad about the bootloops, I decided to restore it to stock and let him get the apps from amazon appstore. Just so you know that not everybody get the same smooth experience as I do. As my experience goes, CM11 is the best rom for this device. But not to my dad.
Both roms (CM11 and 12) are intended for 8.9" kindle fire JEM (NOT tate)
With that in mind, I have no more use for the roms. So rather than being left to dust and forgotten, any idea where I can upload these roms so it stays online forever? They're about 200 megs each, so about 500 megs.
If there's no good free space/file transfer service, I'm uploading these to Degoo, since I don't use it at all despite its generous space, and probably will forgot about it in the future and it'll stay there forever.

Okay then I'm deleting these roms. It's just that most people on the CM for Jem thread are having difficulties finding the download links.
If it is available here, there's no use of me keeping them. I've converted my dad's Kindle Jem back to stock anyway.
