[Q] Side Load .apk help

I have tried side loading a few hd games (mainly gameloft games) and
they install alright..welll sorta. when the games goes to download the rest over wifi each game gets about 30% down then stops cause some issue downloading or some B.S
I am running gedeRom atm.. I was rocking rooted stock for the longest time, but decided it was time for a change. everyone says gede is the way to go for gameloft but...... I can't see why since they won't finish downloading after installation.
Do i need to move the .apk after I install it like you sopmetimes have to in stock rom??
The .apks are in sdcard/android

Some of the Gameloft games don't work.

EA Games are the same way.

I have only gotten 1 Gameloft game to work and this rom is supposed to support them??
only HD game to run was 9mm.. nova tries to load but goes to a white screen where it freezes and most close on opening not even to the Gameloft logo..
uuhhh I call B.S, but then again I guess I can't complain cause I dont develope...

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?

Do you use any apps like Android tuner or Root Control?, (chainfire 3d?)

Not enough RAM, you should try to restart your phone and kill unwanted apps before play.

[Q] anyone get gta san andreas working on there play yet?

well i got gta sa installed on my device and it launches up but after signing in or even if i click offline get stuck on a black screen?
im on android 4.0.4 ics atm.

Well its not working well on xperia play
I got it working on lupus ics/gb and my 4.1.b.13 port
But the game closed after entring a massion or entering house and ...
After setting 256mg swap it worked again withot problems (beside the lags)
But now its closing again for me but sometimes works fine
The only problem that is causing these problems is ram
Most of the games need at least 1gb ram these days
My sdcard is only 8gb so i cant test it with higher amount swap but i think some of the problems will be solved

I played it using another method
There are some games around the websites that you can put the data in sd card
But the game was very laggy because it beeds 512 mg ram
It closes in all of the ics roms but it works very awful in stock gb(too many lags. I think using swap can reduce the lags)

I can make space to install it in /data, but it always kick me to home screen due lack of free RAM.
I was just wondering is it working at all in some lite GB (or JB) ROM.

I installed it today on Gin2Kittkat, switched in Ram Manager to heavy gaming and it closed after loading. Then I copied swap script to init.d, reboot and the game run normally. Graphics on Xplay is much worse than official screenshots, but it is playable and with only little lags. And it "support" Xperia Play gamepad - if you choose touch controls then you can turn with touchpads.
