The Play store versions of EA games like Dead Space do not support the Xperia PLAY controls, so I purchased them from the Xperia PLAY's built-in shop for EA titles. Now I'd like to transfer them to my Galaxy Note 3.
I own Titanium Backup and I have rooted both but EA has some check that makes sure that the games are running on the same phone. This caused issues when I first RMA'd the phone back in 2011 and some of my purchases still refuse to work on the Xperia PLAY. For the ones that do still work, how can I transfer them?
I've google and all I can find is references to EA's old free games promo for Xperia PLAY.
I see an "Android ID" backup and restore function in Titanium Backup. Will this back up whatever uniquely identified my phone to EA or is it something else? Will my phone incorrectly identify itself to the Play store as an Xperia PLAY? Something tells me that this function is only for the Play Store's send to device function.
There were a lot of other built-in games that I'd like to transfer but I don't think those were ever meant to be treated as transferable property.

OK, I found that some of these, like Tetris, simply do not work unless converted to a user app. Others cause TB to hang when I attempt to convert to a user app. Because TB doesn't have the option to convert to User app while restoring, I have to convert on the original phone and make the backup again just to see if that works.
It's kind of disappointing to see this oversight. I mean, if this were a replacement phone after losing or breaking my old phone, what good would my backup have done?!
Anyway, I backed up Tetris from an International/Generic Xperia PLAY ROM (wasn't on original AT&T ROM). It works but it crashes on exit (perhaps it tries to call Timescape specifically or some Gingerbread function that doesn't exist). The Bruce Lee game launches but doesn't scale to fill the screen and doesn't support touch screen controls (can't get past download prompt). I don't think the PSX emulator would work or else PSXperia would be on other platforms, so I didn't even bother with that. As expected, the EA games don't work ("New phone detected") but I haven't experimented with the Android ID thing yet.

Hi,
As i own legally bought from gloft store two games: Nova 3 and Asphalt 7 HD, after installing CM9, Nova is saying device is not compatible, and Asphalt does not even download files, like there was no files for my phone...
I think problem might be in showing up phone info or something, because even on Google Play its saying Sony Pro or Sony Pro Plus instead of MK16i like before..
Any fix to above?

could of downloaded the .apks
Gaming on ICS is not a good option due to issues, but if u are a gamer use MooDeD 90.7 or Xperia Ice Bean 4.0.4 [Jellybean 4.1] anyway try re-flash CM9 always works!
and if Asphalt is not downloading the files through the phone, then manually download them from ur PC and place them in your Asphalt data folder (what ever its called)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268128 compatible gameloft games
As far as i know, Asphalt 7 downloaded from their store is "blocked", i cant see links to download on PC. And anyways, i had files on my microSD from "before flashing" CM9 and it was saying they were broken and need to dl them again. So i deleted all Asphalt 7 data from card, reinstalled it from their store, and still same prob - its not downloading.
But i was playing on ICS, but "stock" soft with root, now on CM9 its just not working. And both of games are not listed on topic you linked, on compatible list nor uncompatible/untested, so they didnt even think to try running them.
Also MooDeD and Xperia Ice Bean seems to be not ported to my MK16i
Can i change something in my phone to get it reporting as MK16i like before, or it must be "sony pro" or "sony pro plus" on CM9?
Edit:
I just changed build.prop to Sony Ericsson MK16i and asphalt started downloading. After it finish, ill try out nova 3
Edit2:
I've sent also message to gloft, and they sent me Spiderman for free to test if there is an APP or phone problem. But funny thing is, it started downloading files as "sony pro"

There are very few GameLoft games that work on any Archos G9 devices to start with. For the few that do, they usually only show up on Google Play as being compatible with the 101 G9. Reason, simple, the 101 is wide screen, while the 80 G9 has a 4:3 aspect.
Unfortunately, I do not have enough room (memory left) on my 101 G9 to test things, but very often if you have another device that Google Play will let you install something one... then you can often use some app to make a backup of it, and then transfer that to your other devices and "side load" it.
Some things simply will not work at all, but I've found many that do work on my other devices but... sometimes the opening video does not display correctly... usually can just tap on the screen to skip it or just let it play out until it gets to the real game stuff.
I hate to say it, but you very likely will find a lot of things that are listed on Google Play as not being compatible with the 80 G9 simply because most apps were made for smartphones (or tablets) that have wider screens (16:9 or 16:10) instead of the 4:3 aspect the 80 G9 has.
Just as a side note, I have 3 Archos tablets (well, actually more but won't get into it here)... the 70b (with Android Honeycomb), and both the 80 and 101 G9 "classic" 8Gig models (with only 512M system RAM). Although not everything I've tried works on all of them, I have found that most things do if I can get it installed on whatever Google let's me (and have enough space to do so), and then make a backup, and copy it over to "side load" on the other(s). Of course, that only works because all of my devices use the same Google account.
BTW: What I mean by "side load", in case you do not already know... is that when you make a backup of an app and then try to install that .apk file on any device, it will complain about it being from an "unknown" source as a security protection. You have to go into Settings on the device and change it to allow installing from unknown sources first. Make sure you go back and turn that back off again afterward!

Got good and bad news...
First, the good news... Yes, you can install Dungeon Hunters 3 from Google Play on a 101 G9.
Now the bad news... and as expected...
Like ALL GameLoft games up until the only 2 they released this year...
Dungeon Hunters 3, even though it does install on a 101 G9 does not run, it just crashes out shortly after start up.
Transferred a copy over to my 80 G9 and the good news, yes it would install and download the rest of the game, but bad news... as mentioned, like ALL Gameloft games (except for the 2 they released this year) it also just crashes shortly after start up.
After Archos and GameLoft finally got an agreement worked out between them, then GameLoft released 2 games that would run on Archos G9 device. One of them is Asphalt 7: Heat, and I think the other one is The Amazing Spider-Man. I know Asphalt 7 works on both my 101 and 80 G9. Have not tested The Amazing Spider-Man, but I assume it will also work (because those 2 are the only ones noted in any tablet news sites as being able to run on Archos G9 devices).
Sorry dude, but that's just the way it is.
Ever since Gameloft transitioned to a universal package for their games (universal apk and OBB resource files), their games can be run on a G9 tablet (at least G9 80 Turbo). Perhaps it does not show as compatible on the Play Store, but the games generally work (Dark Knight Rises, Amazing Spiderman, Asphalt 7, Wild Blood, Modern Warfare 3,...).
There might be problems with menu scaling, and problems to get the games to install.
I bought asphalt 7 from play store and it feels laggy with 4.0.26 deodexed, so I installed oc kernel. I have archos g9 101 turbo, so i over clocked to 1,6ghz. Even after that it was a bit laggy so I installed chainfire 3d and dropped graphics to 16bit. I was thinking of enabling both cores and using performance to make it lag free without chainfire. Do you guys have any experience or a way to make it run better?

I am just curious can the Ouya play games that I already have purchased on the Google Play Store? I am interested in purchasing the Ouya but only if I can play my current games on it as well.

In theory... I put Play Market on my Bluestacks and my games that weren't 3D ran fine. With the proper hardware (Ouya) the 3D ones shoudl run, too.

Something like this would probably work very properly for the situation.
well they said we can root it so it should be very easy to install google play, so i see no reason why you couldn't. but some may be hard to play with the controller but we will see when we get there. hopefully mines here next month
Games on Ouya
I Plan to use Sixaxis Controller app with games that don't support controlers as i use it on my tablet and i can enable gamepad for showgun if needed. We need someone to test a gamepad supported game on the system with the Ouya controler to see if it works that way.
Does Ouya even have Google Play Store?
I heard it only has their own market (like Ouya Market)
I want my Ouya not only for games, but also a media centre. Like playing movies from HDD ext., browsing, twitter, facebook, and others applications from Play Store.
how cool is that :fingers-crossed:
it hasn't been stated one way or the other. If apps can be side loaded, then I would say even if it's there, you could extract Google Play and loaded it that way, as well as the apps you want. The only thing that isn't know, what apps will play nice with Ouya's interface using a controller. A lot of apps, if not all, are designed from a touch input design.
I don't know if there is anything that Google Play needs besides an Android OS to function. So there could be reasons it may not work despite being able to load it on the Ouya.
Ouya will have their own stores called "Ouya Store". All games are ported to support Ouya consoles.
Shadow Gun is confirmed to work on Ouya. Please wait for the rest announcement!
Search youtube for 'Ouya performance test' there is a guy with a dev console playing lots of current android games so should be able to.
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Ouya have a touchpad on the control? That would work the same as touching the screen as long as there is a mouse pointer on the screen or you could enable touch location in the developer settings.
Maybe the new Store is like tha Amazon Store.
Has someone read something about the payment methodes?
any update on if anyone has gotten working playstore on the console?
The Ouya has a custom launcher and all apps and games are required to be recompiled with custom tags in their manifest. Only apps with these custom tags show up in the Ouya UI.
So its possible to adb push the Store and a custom launcher APK but you need a way of switching back and forth.
If you are not using the Oyua UI you will not be able to take advantage of the custom Ouya services such as ranking systems and friends lists.

You have to be rooted to get Play Store on a non-rooted Device.
If you do get root, contact theperson333, I think he can help.
I'm no Expert.

Yes it has in the middle of the controller

Ouya will be featuring its own app market, not Google play market. The system runs on android Jelly Bean, but that doesn't mean its the same as your tablet or phone. Customized UI and maybe a different file format for games (I'm assuming they're still apks though.) You can pick up the development tool on their website.
I hope they allow PayPal as a purchase method.
My phone Is a stock C6502 Xperia ZL,running 4.2.2 stock, unrooted bootloader locked.
When I try to run any of these three games (the only ones giving me any problems so far)
Final Fantasy 3
Final Fantasy 4
Ravensword Shadowlands
The games load and I get then black screen, and it stays there. Any ideas why this might be? Anything I can do to get them to work?
These are legit games I purchased from google play (I have then running fine on my Asus tf300t tablet, and they ran great on my previous galaxy nexus before I replaced it with this ZL beast).
I tried to uninstall and reinstall from google play, nothing
Tried rebooting phone, nothing
Even tried replacing the obb files with those from my tablet (it is not rooted either, so cannot extract apk or titanium backup), nothing
Fun games, I would like to be able to play them on this phone, anyone else have issues with these games? All other games I have thrown at it run great and smooth.
Thanks my friends for your time.
UPDATE:
Well, Got them to work by extracting the apk from my tablet and installing that way. Weird that the download from the play store would fail to work, any ideas why? (only on the zl, the tablet downloads and plays these games from the store beautifully)
soo ive been crying since day one when i found out i couldnt play NOVA 3 on my newly bought shield, i thought about using a custom firmware but didnt want to lose functionality, i ended up adapting my 4tb hdd as internal memory so once i did that for me there was no goong back lol, so ive been trying to find a way to map controls and thought of everything and nothing seemed to work. sixaxis controller app didnt work when i tried a few times a year back but there has since been an update and now i can map the touch controls for nova and play perfectly so im guessing that opens up a lot more apps and games that require touch we couldnt use before but prob can now. For me this is the best early christmas present i could have asked for. Thought id let you lot know just in case ya didnt.
if you play Modern Combat 5, NOVA 3 or are generally into android online gaming, anything to do with Nvidia Shield, Kodi or Plex - join us https://discord.gg/XsMz44k http://droidshield.boards.net
I use Zulu full Android with game controller2touch it does wonders
Also I noticed we have good fps' for android and most of these games have no chat support which is odd. I play modern combat 5 a lot and have now made a server where we can use any windows, android or iOS device to use voice chat while in game. so download 'discord' free from play store, app store, website etc and join us here.
