I know I could stream Grim Fandango Remastered from my pc but I do not have a Nvidia card only the intergrated Intel HD graphics. Fangdango is available for android but it is not compatible with any of my devices if it were I would d/l it and then sideload it. What can I do?
Do you have any devices that it is compatable with? If so, you can install it there, and move the APK.
..
Every device I have is rooted but the only one that is registered that is compatible is the Nexus 9 but I returned it because it was running very hot and bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 SM-T800 which my daily device now. It is rooted and running a custom 5.0.2 rom. I tried every device option available with Market Helper but Grim Fandango still did not show in the play store. I tried using my chrome browser and going to the play store and Grim Fandango would show but it still only showed it being compatible with the Nexus 9. Strange when I clicked on the play store compatibility list the device I was spoofing was not there. I double checked the device manager page and it showed that the device had ben changed to the spoofed one. Am I doing something wrong?

That's what you want. With market helper, it doesn't change the play store on the device. You have to install it on the web interface to the spoofed device. The play store on your device will update all installed apps though luckly, supported or not.
But, the spoofed device is not showing up in my compatibility list. The list is still only showing the original list. I am using the play store through Chrome browser. I'm starting to feel like a noob again! ?
..
So, I definitely have to use a pc. I thought since there was a in app link to the Android device mgr there was no need to use the pc.

I didn't have to use a pc. I used chrome browser installed on the shield. Just refreshed a few times in that and the spoofed device showed up.

Yes, it works on the shield. You have to install via web browser, but the device does the rest.

Back on topic, did you manage to get this working?
To be honest, I have been sidetracked most of this week with an addition I am adding to my home. I will try this coming week and post results.
No I could not get it to work, it kept crashing. There is a version of it ln the Nvidia Store but it is only for the Shield tablet. How hard would it be to port it to the NSATV. I guess Nvidia would have to ask Doublefine for permission or else Doublefine would have to do it themselves? How does one bring this to Nvidias attention?
any updates whit grim fandango on android tv?

Have not had any success in connecting to gameloft. Each time it tells me no games available. I believe others have been able to purchase games. I have a US At&t tab. Is this not supported yet or am i doing something wrong?

I got Asphalt HD, Sandstorm, Dungeon Hunter, Hero of Sparta and Gangstar from gameloft.com not the market on my Sprint Galaxy tab--have no idea.
The reason there aren't any apps available from the gameloft website for download on the AT&T tab is because AT&T doesn't allow sideloading of apps that aren't from the android market. Therefore gameloft doesn't have a section for the ATT galaxy tab because it would be misleading to their customers.
I haven't tried downloading the version for the T-Mobile tab, but I suspect it would work since the hardware on those tabs is almost exactly the same. To sideload apps, I have read about a program called "sideload wonder machine" that is supposed to let you put non market apps onto ATT devices, however I have not tried this either.
Sorry I couldn't have been of more help.

Well that stinks. Any way to get around that? Tried SuperOneClick as it has an option to enable non-market apps but that doesn't seem to help.
I've read about Sideload Wonder machine, problem is you have to have the program you want to load. In this case, I can't even get to Gameloft to get a copy of the game, so I have nothing to load. Stinks!

Are you trying to download the gameloft app from your tab or your computer? Because you should be able to purchase the game from gameloft.com and then use the sideload wonder machine app on your computer to transfer the game onto your tab.
I was trying to purchase directly from the Tab as I thought that was the only way you could buy them. Last night I did discover that you can indeed buy them from your desktop, however it asks you what carrier your on??? I was going to try it but backed out. Could there be a chance the game is coded for a specific model and won't work on my ATT tab? I guess I could try as it's only $5 but just wanted to be sure it would work.
I guess it is possible that gameloft specially coded the game for each tab, but I kind of doubt it. In the case with Apple products (I know it isn't the exact same case, but still similar) one game file (.ipa) will work with an iPhone 4 or an iPod Touch 2nd generation. Considering how similar the hardware and software is between the AT&T and T-Mobile tabs, I would think that if you select the T-Mobile version that it would work. I won't be able to try this myself until tomorrow evening/night, unfortunately. If you don't wish to try it, I will post back with my results.
Well didn't work for me. Looks like you can only download via sms message link. Unfortunately it wasn't clear (not to me anyway) and I entered in my home phone number as I thought that was what was required to validate my credit card number. Thus no way now for me to change it and at least attempt to send to my Tab. That would probably fail as well, so I am SOL.
Edit: Spoke to soon!! I received an email verifying my purchase and low and behold it contained a link that I could download the game to my PC. Installed it fine with Sideload Wonder Machine. Sweet!!
Good news! Did you download the T-Mobile version of the app? And it's running smooth on your tab?
Yes i selected Tmobile as my option. I used the side wonder machine to install and it works perfectly. Its full screen and looks great.

Fullscreen apps on P500
Hello guys, i've installed hero of sparta on my P500 and the game is bigger than my screen, this also happens if i install any of gameloft games, is there any thing i can do to see the games fully fitted on my screen ? Thanks!
If I have purchased an app for my phone which I believe is honeycomb compatable, do I have to repurchase it for my tab? Not sure if the initial purchase allows me to sync with other devices or if I can connect my phone to my laptop and somehow extract the file or soething... Thanks for the help as always!

i could install the purchased app (for my mobile) on my tablet via the market. no problems at all.
You can redownload that app to all your devices as long as they're using the same gmail account.
The only time this may be an issue is if the developer decides to release a Tablet-specific version of the software, at which point it's a separate program that you would have to purchase. For example - you purchase Fruit Ninja - you can download and install Fruit Ninja on your phone and tablets. You notice that Fruit Ninja THD is available (Tegra HD), you will have to purchase that separately since it's officially a different program than Fruit Ninja.
Nope, never had to repurchase. Once you've attached your Google account to the device you should be able to hop into the "my apps" section of the Market on your tab. There are two sections in the scrollable menu to the left, installed and not installed. In the Not Installed section you should see every app purchase made on your Google account (Well, at least the ones you haven't installed yet). If it shows up there, it's HC compatible. If not, well just downloaded it onto your phone, pull a .apk off, then sideload it onto your GT.
hmmm so I have this repliGO pdf reader, and it's installed and working perfectly, but it keeps showing in the "not installed" section. What should I do?

You should be able to just select "install" on it. I have repliGO installed on both Evo and 10.1, with no problems. By the way, it works quite well on the tablet!

Exactly! It works perfectly, but I still have it under the "not installed" apps. If I click on "install" it does some fiddling and then it stays there. I cannot uninstall either.
Is there a way to get missing apps to show up in the Android Market? I just did a search for Tumblr/Flickr/Gameloft and their main apps don't show up in the market. Any ways around it or possibly tricking the market into thinking I have a valid device to use these apps?
there are so many threads about this - i can't count them
basically the kf is for the android marked an unsupported device
therefor some apps are missing - you have to sideload them or google for a site where the apk is available
wouldn't editing the build.prop file to include a different device fingerprint from say, a similar high end tablet work?
I did something similar a while back with my droid 1 - spoofed a high phone's build.prop fingerprint, got on the market and got the app I wanted, then changed the fingerprint back.
it should be noted that I did this twice, and on one occasion when I changed the fingerprint back the second app refused to load because it checked device compatibility at startup... but if your app doesnt do that, then you should be home free.
(I'm new to the KF and still getting caught up on the forums, so apologies if this has already been debunked as unfeasible on the KF)
some guys have tried that (i also) - you get troubles with all the amazon apps, because it's no longer a kindle fire - in this case you can go to cm7 also - there it's the same
Sorry for the re-posting the question I guess I didn't see it, but I was thinking about changing the Build.Prop just wasn't sure if any one else had tried it yet. So even with CM7, we will still have a problem?
you don't have a problem - but you don't have a kindle - with cm7 it's like any other android tablet
Curious about this too... Sideloading is a pita.
I remember back in the old samsung moment days we had the same problem but it went away with the first of the custom roms. I already tried to modify the build.prop file with samsung galaxy device info and it didn't work. Hopefully someone will find the magic piece of code...
If you've noticed, the unlisted apps just so happen to be the ones that aren't compatible with your device. Use the browser based store and you'll see.

If you've noticed, almost every app people sideload works on the kindle. The only thing I've tried to install that didn't was launcher pro and I knew that wouldn't work before I tried it. I was just hoping...
I'd like to be the one that decides what works and what doesn't...
as i said - the kf is a unsupported device for the android market
it is great that it is now displayed as kindle fire - that was not in the beginning
google is shurely not interested to support the amazon device in any way because amazon built its own market
so every app that checks the device is not available, regardless if the app would be working or not
there are some apps on the market where the free version is not shown up but the paid version is

It's not as simple as that. For example Skype is available on the Market place, but without a camera or mic it's about as much use as errr a helicopter ejector seat.
However none of the Google suite are available, or even twitter! These are core apps and work just fine on the Kindle!
On the other hand, I've had to download Google Maps, Twitter etc. which all work fine on the KF, but are not in the market.
I don't mind doing that, but it seems that since they don't show up in your market application list, they won't get updated or show needing update. Frankly I'm not sure how I would update to the newer version without seeing the update on my Samsung Galaxy S2, and then searching for and installing the apk file manually.
Ive had issues with unlisted apps mainly, I do get the odd one that.works, but I prefer ones that work for certain flawlessly.

are you guys running CM7 or the KF firmware? some of the apps you guys are talking about(twitter) show up just fine in CM7, but coincidentally, some apps still don't show up or are listed as incompatible(NBA Gametime 2011-2012 for example), which work fine if you're able to get an apk and sideload them
I am on CM7 and there are quite a few games, primarily Gameloft games, that will not play once sideloaded even though they played fine on the stock ROM. Gameloft Customer Support has said this was an issue that was being addressed in future updates, so we will see.
To clarify: Some of the apks are games I had loaded on the original Amazon ROM and saved to a backup. Some are specific to kindle (ie title includes Kindle Fire version) and fail to even so much as start without FCing. Others state that the device is not compatible.
do this, and all of your wishes will come true:

So when I received my nexus 7 I got the ota update that enabled Google wallet. Supposedly Google now allows you to ad. Any debit or credit card in the app. Unfortunately there is no option in the app for me. I thought maybe I can update it in the play store so I searched for it and nothing came up. I did a search on Google and did find a link in the play store but when I click on it it says "This item is not available in your country or on your carrier."
http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39...dd-any-credit-or-debit-card-to-google-wallet/
So why isn't this thing updated is it installed as a service I guess with the os because you can't un install it only disable it. I would really like to be able to add other cards
Wallet is for USA only at this time you can only add cards that are registered to a USA address.
For the same reason it will only show in the market for USA devices.

Are you rooted? If so, you'll need to get the updated apk and replace the existing one in your /system/app/ folder and set permissions to rw-r--r--. There's a thread in the General forum with a link to another thread with the updated apk. After you do that and reboot, the app will be updated.

Why is the wallet app not automatically updated? I think even when I was on stock and unrooted, I couldn't see the wallet app from Play Store.
I found some 1.5 wallet apk though that lets me add any card. Can't remember the exact thread it came from though.

Exact same problem here, this should be the last Android device that would be blocked from getting the update!
Go to the Play website using your computer. Click on 'My Android Apps'. Choose the Asus Nexus 7. Scroll through the installed apps until you find Google Wallet. Click it. Click on 'INSTALLED' and it will offer to send the update to you. Send it to your N7, you may need to be on wi-fi, I'm not sure about that. Now you'll have the other options for credit cards. Just ignore the unsupported device banner. Payments work.
I had to wait a bit (like an hour or so) before it was properly notified that I could update it.

Thanks for the suggestion but Google Wallet didn't show up as an installed app. So I found a v 1.5 apk to install and that was fine. Less than stellar experience for a flagship Google device!
Glad you got the .apk and installed. I'm surprised it wasn't in your list of installed apps on the web page from your computer. I did have to scroll to the 3rd or 4th page of apps to find it. In Google's defense, I think they wanted to make it difficult to do on rooted devices because of potential future exploits.

I could of sworn I tried doing this before, and it said my Nexus 7 was an unsupported carrier (which makes no sense). Now it says it's installed though, but then again I am already using the 1.5 apk.
Whats the unsupported device banner? Does it only appear when you make a purchase? I can't say I've seen it yet (but then again I haven't made a purchase while not on stock).

You only get that if the N7 is rooted. If you are stock, no warning.
Oops, I see you are rooted. I'll take a screenshot and attach what I see.
Anyway, that's what I get on a rooted N7 updated to the 1.5 version.
Yeah I already tried installing through the website before I posted the question is says: "This app is incompatible with all of your devices..."
I figured there was an apk out there but wanted to know why the heck google doesn't support this for it's flagship device (as said above). Maybe it's just certain tablets? Yes I just rooted my tablet the other day but I had the same issue before root, never showed up as an app I could update.
I recently restored from Spectrum ROM to my stock rooted Nandroid backup with TWRP; now when I try to install an app to my phone from the Google Play web store on my PC browser it says installed but doesn't push the app to my phone. Also it lists a number of apps as requiring an update but on the device they are up to date.
I have searched the forums and all I could find was to clear app data and cache for the Google Play Store application in settings, which I did but the problem remains. Help would be greatly appreciated as I tend to install apps from my PC often.
You are using the web play store. Try the play app from within the rom.
If you insist on doing the web based. Make sure it is sending to your device/phone #.

Everything works fine within the app on the phone. However I spend a lot of time on PC and Macbook and prefer to research apps on the Play Web Store and send the installs to my phone remotely.
How do you ensure it is sending to your phone #? In Play Web Store settings>device settings my device Telus SGH-i337m is the one listed. When I go to 'my applications' it shows that i'm missing app updates, that apps are installed which I no longer have on the device, and doesn't show some I do have on the device.
