Is Sonic CD available from the Amazon or Google Play store. That way, it will install properly and you will be able to get the latest version. I haven't had problems with apk files installed this way.

Its in the play store. Is there something I have to do besides having the apk like connect to the play store.

If the title relies on Play Store-related DRM at all, then yes, you will need to have the Play Store working and connected for the title to work.

So to side load paid apps the ouya must be rooted. Is that right.

Every app is auto starting after it is installed

Kind of annoying... is there a setting to stop this? Or I may have got some malware?

I've never heard of this. After installing an app in the Play Store, it just opens by itself?
I'm not exactly sure what you mean either, but I find it an enlightening process to use something like Autostarts every now and then to keep an eye on new apps and widgets to see when they're triggering themselves.

Well, basically it's every app, no matter l install from play store or I side load an apk. It wasn't like this initially, but I cannot figure out what triggered this.

Be very very careful sideloading anything from unknown sources. Have you checked American Express' website? Legit apps from businesses will more often than not be posted on their websites.
I am interested in finding this out as well. I want to use apps like ESPN scorecenter, nfl 12, and Conan tablet app.

Just use your phone to download the app back it up and transfer the apk to your tablet and install it here is a guide

That works nicely, thanks. But what about apps for which I do not have a compatible device to source from? I assume I am sol unless someone else posts the apk?

Do a Google search a lot of companies post the apk's on their website

you might try seeing if it's set as a “default" in your app settongs

Ah thanks that did it. New to Android. Just cleared defaults. Thanks again

FYI you might still not be able to buy from the phone. I tried doing that and I got stuck at the buy button. I would tap on it but nothing would happen.
Ok thanks Ryan

Who has gotten Google Play Games yet?

Hello,
I'm running the stock rooted ROM and have yet to get Google Play Games on my phone. Have any of you received the update that has enabled it yet?
I was under the impression it was already on most phones, Google sneaked it in under everyone's noses as a service.
Check out some of the play store games and they should have a section that says things like leaderboards or achievements....
Unless I am missing something?

Check your Google play services app. If its version 3.1. You have it.

Don't think so. It seems like it's integrated with Google services. Play services will show up on games that have been updated with play services.

It's an API Service, not a specific game.
Google Settings > Play Games
This might help:

So there is no need to download this separately? how do I check it's there?

You could try clearing download manager data as well.

How large are the games? I had the issue with an update to "Angry Birds Space Premium" which is 46.07 MB, so I moved closer to the WiFi AP and retried again, which worked. You could also try disabling "Wi-Fi optimization" in "Advanced Wi-Fi" settings.
Kinda like that apps that are 40mb up..will try and report back

Are you trying to update an existing app?
Log into your Playstore account on a PC and make sure your N4 is set as active and then try and push the install from the PC.
