Hi, maybe the question has been asked about a million times, but does root access compromises apps in the play store? I'm asking this becaus I bought GTA San Andreas on my Xperia Tablet Z (no root). When I go to My Apps in the Play Store using my Xperia ZL (rooted), it says for GTA San Andreas "Device Not Compatible". While Rockstar says it IS compatible with Xperia ZL. So questions:
1) is GTA San Andreas compatible with Xperia ZL?
2) if yes (Rockstar says it is...), why can't I see it in the store?
3) if question 2 applies, how do I fix it so I CAN see it?
Hope someone can help me out here.
Thanks in advance, Chris

That's weird. I have the Xperia ZL C6506 running 4.2.2 on build 67 also rooted and GTA San Andreas shows up just fine on the Play Store. Is your phone stock and only rooted or you have a custom rom and kernel also. If you really want to add the game to your phone you may wanna try manually install it on your phone by grabbing the APK from \Data\App of your tablet and also the downloaded data from GTA which it looks like its a good 2.38 GB.
You may also wanna have a look at this thread..maybe it applies to your situation:

Thanks. I've tried another thing. I repared my phone using PCC. Thus removing root. The app still showed as Not Compatible. This makes me think the problem is something else. I have this phone imported from Germany. I live in the Netherlands where the Xperia ZL was never released. My google account knows i
I'm from the Netherlands. Could this be a problem for the compatibility? I mean, the ZL not showing up in the compatibility list for the Netherlands or something? I've already contacted Rockstar about the problem, but no solution yet. Maybe someone here has the same problem
??
Device: C6503, stock 2.67 firmware (imported german version)

Ever since I flashed to gingerbread 2.32, the stock UK version, [I originally had Rogers gingerbread 2.33, flashed to UK 2.32, got root, and did OTA update to 2.33] when I launch the Xperia Play games launcher it is behaving very strangely.
For example when I tried to download need for speed hot pursuit it took me to EA's page where it said, "we're sorry but the game you selected is not available for your handset." Similarly when I tried to download Modern Combat Black Pegasus it just took me to "en.gameloft.ca," not the game's download page.
Usually when I tried to download games with my Rogers 2.32 firmware, it would take me to a page, which would give me an option to charge the game directly to my Rogers account, or, to a credit card checkout page. What's going on?

A temporary problem with EA website
I keep searching for the official playstation games in the market of my Xperia Play and I can't fine them at all? But when i search for them from my web browser on my PC they come up but they say that "This Item is not available for your carrier"?? They were last night, I bought one from my phone?? Any reason why this would happen?
Open playstation pocket and there will be a search button at the top right. Just click it and there will be 7 official psone games to buy.

Thanks that helped!
It took me a week to find that lol, they need to make it a little more obvious IMO

Now I'm having the problem again!! Everytime I click on the search button in the Playstation Pocket app it shows all the available PSone games but when I go to buy one it still says that the Item is not available to my carrier?? It was available last night now all of a sudden there all not 0_o
Edit: Nevermind I just restarted the phone and all is well again.
I cant believe that I didnt know 2.3.4 was available for xperia play 0_o
anyways, im currently on 2.3.3 and my phone is rooted. If I update, will my phone be unrooted? (i have a feeling the answer is yes but I just want to make sure).
Also, the stock camera really isnt good, I saw a mod for xperia play where the R button takes photos and L button focuses. Are there other mods similar to this?
And when will virtua tennis (from sega) be available on xperia play? I saw them testing the game out on the play in the sony ericsson blog and 2 months ago...
Yes it will become unrooted again if you update the firmware
depends on how you update.

Can anybody please kindly help me with a rooted Gingerbread ROM for the At&t's Xperia Ion?
I upgraded when I bought the phone, I don't like how most of my games can't work on it, I got it rooted, but not just fun to keep the ICS since most apps always crash on it.
I am running the Generic Hong Kong/China's generic Gingerbread, I have some connection problem, plus my provider is an mvno service.
Please any rooted gingerbread for the at&t's ion will be greatly appreciated

GTA III, MC 3, and not only about App specific, I just love the overall apps experience on GB, especially the response speed on Tiny Village and Fifa 12.
I know if you get games like that, for 'free' they won't work unless you do a bunch of jibbirsh magic on them.
So, not in a long future I am going to buy Ouya android gaming console, cause I have found pretty great deal. But I heard that the "Ouya Store" is shutdown + most of Ouya titles are arcade-type of games...
So I have a big big big request, if you still have pre-installed games on your Xperia Play phone could you back them up for me to .apk format and kindly include the data (.obb file)?? <3 unfortunately I had sold my phone few years back and since it had playstation controlls I think it could run well on ouya (I hope this ain't against XDA forum rules)
Please, help me out <3 cause I would love to play some The Sims 3 or Bruce Lee or some since delete EA or Gameloft Games (like Nova or Dead Space ) on full screen.
p.s i have look over the internet for the xperia play version of the sims 3 (com.ea.thesims3 not the other one) and it is nowhere to be found so please help me out here.
I actually loathe all the built in games aside from Crash, but I can help you out here at least with The Sims, recently got a play from ebay with it installed. I'll try to download the other games too, I tried Crash out of curiosity the other day and it still worked.
Though I'm not sure they will work on any other device.
Will upload later today!

If you managed to get Crash working, could you upload the files for that? I'm talking about the .apk and .zpak files. I'm only asking you because I can't seem to get it working on my device (but then again I've got a custom ROM and unlocked bootloader...) and I'm not particularly keen on returning my phone entirely to stock for the possibility of maybe managing to download it myself.
You actually can take out the game apks from the firmwares, so actually dont need to reflashing many times of your device at all.
Though i've some question to ask. Im own the Asphalt 6 HD before buying at the Gameloft website at old times (but when installed the game is not HD at all), but the game refuse to download the data, thou im still thinking why is not working anymore in this year but when im use the game apk from the Japanese FW, (this is the truely HD) and the game just works. If there any way to bypass it, please PM me. Many others Gameloft games that i've buy and own is not working anymore, but only from the Firmwares still works.
