You can buy Blast Monkeys from the B&N App Store for a dollar and it is obviously made for your nook. I can download it for free from the market onto my CM7 (n139) nook and it works fine. But if I try and download it for free from the market on my 1.2 rooted (via MN) nook, it says the device isn't supported and it just gives a black screen and won't run.
Anyone have any clues on how to get the free version to run on my rooted nook?
Possibly that version isn't updated yet, like the one on the Android Market was. It used to have issues with running on larger screens like tablets.

But the one from the Android market runs perfect on my CM7 nook, but won't run on my rooted stock nook. Meanwhile there is a version for sale in the B&N shop. I'm sure they made some change to the B&N shop version, but, in actuality, the one on the market should work fine, but it says the rooted nook isn't supported when I run it.

Now that we've got the amazon app store on the nook, I'm wondering if certain games that we know run on the fire, will run on the nook. I know that access to the amazon app store is not a guarantee that all the apps sold there will work.
For example, I was considering picking up the dead space game, but I'd hate to buy it and then find that it wouldn't run on the nook. Reviews of the game at amazon indicate it does work on the fire, so does that mean it would probably run on the nook as well? Or is it just too soon to tell?
Any thoughts people may have on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
Given that it work fine on the Fire, and displays correctly full screen, I would lay even money that it works fine on the Nook.
Possible caveat is if it has some link back to the Amazon store for usage tracking. I don't know how common that is.
Everything Ive tried so far works (and its been a lot of games). Only thing Im having trouble with is GameBoid, but i dont think thats in the Amazon Appstore
Well it's a moot point anyhow, since Dead Space doesn't seem to be available in the app store. At least not the mobile version. I can see it on my PC, but not my nook. I could buy it on the PC and take the chance that it'll show up for download on my nook, but I'd rather not risk it.
I did try to find it through less than legitimate means (which I'm not a huge fan of, but which is sometimes necessary) but I couldn't get it to download the actual files, once the app was installed.
So I guess I'm just not destined to play this game.
Ah well, thanks anyhow folks. I appreciate it.
Biggest risk on any of these games is will it handle the screen size correctly. An app coded for a smart phone may not handle a bigger screen well.
Android gives apps the size information - but what they do with it is up to the app.

Yeah, that happened with me and DoodleJump unfortunately
Has anyone been able to run it on GTab 10.1 wifi?
I can't access the amazon store (stupid non EU market) but just found that there is a version in the normal market available.
Sadly it is marked as not compatible with my Tab.
(well there are two versions,)
this one says it will run at least on my sgs -> https://market.android.com/details?id=com.popcap.pvz_row&feature=search_result
this won't work on either -> https://market.android.com/details?id=com.popcap.pvz_na&feature=search_result
If have the Amazon Appstore version, works just fine on my tab! Just wish they would upgrade the graphics for higher resolutions because some things seem pixelated
I also have the Amazon appstore version (from when they offered it free) works fine on mine, though at the end of levels it slows down (when the screen goes white). Why can't you get the amazon appstore? You know it has to be sideloaded, right?
Because the store isn't usable in austria yet :-(
Is it just me or does it seem like half the fricking games in the market marked incompatible?!??!
Even stuff like bejwelled....
a lot of the time I can get the app via my phone, backup the apk and manually sideload it and it works fine. But this is not a permanent fix....
Is this sony being lazy, google being lazy, app devs being lazy, or something else?
Without root I'm guessing there's no fix?!??!
The worst bit is that this 'block' isn't consistent: an app may be blocked in the web market, and doesn't come up when searching from tablet, but say I hit an ad in the marketplace or tegrazone and BAM it lets me install. WHAT THE ?!?!?!?!
Sometimes I think that Sony has something to do with that.. but I hope thats only my conspiracy mind playing tricks on me..

I have a sneaking feeling its app devs who have to mark their apps as compatible or incompatible and since this tablet doesn't have a big presence, it falls through their cracks...
I've seen several games where say the Lite version is marked available but the full version IS NOT (i.e. Siegecraft THD). Of course the full version runs fine if you sideload it... ROFL
Yes it's definitely the app publishers who declare compatibility and I just don't think the tablet s has made a big enough splash. It sucks cause like you said you can sideload the apps. I'm sure once we get ICS things will change...
I gotta say i'm pretty steamed. I specifically got a tegra 2 device to maximize gaming compatibility, now the only "hardcore" games showing are shadowgun, GTA3 and Asphalt 6. No nova, mc2, mc3 etc etc. Not very happy at this point.
The weird part is, a simple realestate app won't show in the market on it :\.
I wish there was some way to just force the market to show all apps, like in cyanogen mod. Just without the need for root since we don't have that yet
It has a LOT to do with fragmentation in Android, with all the different versions on all the different devices, a developer has to test and be 100% sure before it marks its app as "compatible." Try contacting the developer if you want help, unfortunately it's nothing SONY has done.
You dont understand problem.
Some time ago we could buy apps:for example, Dead Space.
But suddenly Android Market said:you couldnt buy this app because it incompatible with your Sony Tablet S.
Can somebody tell me if bang bang racing shows up in the market?
Update, factory reserve fixed it, most apps are good to go. Dread , I would give that a shot.
Don't get mad at Sony for gameloft games being incompatible, that's game loft's fault

Hey wintermute000 can you check if bang bang racing shows up in the market? It there any way to pay for an app or game and then sideload it. The tablet is discounted at tiger direct. I love that game lol.

I do understand problem. What's happening is that Gameloft is updating their game and changing which versions/iterations of Android their game is compatible with, and with the thousand of different variations of Android coming out every day, they have either changed or our software version has changed and they're no longer compatible. As many have said, ICS will fix A LOT of that. You can try a master reset, but other than that just wait for ICS or sideload it from a dropped apk.
Thank you for answer)
I have one question:why EA games(Real Racing 2 and Dead Space) doesnt support sony tablet s?
It's not that they don't support the tablet s, it's just that they're not specifically listed as compatible with either the tablet s or the version of android we're running (maybe sony's update to 3.1.2 or whatever it was) isn't listed under their market description so it won't allow you to install it from the market. There are ways around that but you won't be able to get updates or support through the market. I'm waiting for ICS (hopefully Feb) and most, if not all, of these problems should be resolved!
I know Modern Combat 3 isn't officially supported for our device yet but just wanted to share that it is 49 cents today on the new Google Play Market. Grab it now while its on sale so you are ready for when it is supported :

It is possible to buy this game with a prime?
I don`t have any other android devices.
Nice joke Gameloft and suport for Asus xD
Nevermind, Delete.
This is killing me because I just withdrew all the money from my card >.< won't get paid again until next week !!!!
I'd like to get it, but Play won't allow me to purchase it as it's not compatible. You'd think they'd let you buy it anyhoo with a disclaimer.
you can purchase it from the web store front if you dont have another android device

This. I personally just use my gingerbread running Droid charge to buy things that aren't compatible yet. Popular apps will get more compatibility as ICS penetration grows
Unfortunately, I have a couple other Android devices - says it's incompatible with all.
I have 3 android devices
prime-not suported
xperia active- not supported
xperia mini-supported
Now we have to wait for prime support
Supported and runs well on my Samsung Galaxy S2 which is on CM9. It seems ICS is supported fine so I wonder what the problem is.
Works well on my SGS2 running latest leaked build of ICS as well. Tried pulling the APK and installing it on my Prime, but I get a not compatible with device when I try to open it. So we just have to wait until Gameloft decides to support it.
Bought it via my Sensation.... cheers! Here's to a .49 cent investment into the future!
Oh come on Gameloft.. How hard can it be to make it available on the Prime. I've got the impression they dont want my money^^ Its as if they're telling me to use other methods than buying...

What do you mean by that?
On the web android market, there is also a compatibility check.
Or do you mean something else?
I've downloaded quite a few apps that aren't supposed to be comparable with prime yet not had even the slightest glitch yet, shame i guess people gave already tried with this with no luck

Hey guys!
Can anyone confirm if the Battlefield 4 commander app works on a rooted 7" Kindle Fire HDX?
Would really like to know, as I wouldn't purchase it otherwise
Really no one who can answer this question? Doesn't take much to download the app and try it out (if you have BF4 on any platform)
Why would you base your whole tablet buying decision on a game that will be old news in 1 year?
It doesn't work. I tried it. Needs some google stuff which is missing since this has been customised by Amazon.
Yes its working with a rooted HDX 7, i tested it.
You can use this .apk + data:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47736747
Can also confirm for you the BF4 Commander Mode app works. I know you posted a couple weeks ago but it's as DarkRusher posted, follow the link and go to the latest pages, newest APK and Data for Commander Mode app will be there and you're good to go!
Using a rooted 7" HDX but shouldn't need root at all. Was playing the app on the 1.1 version and worked perfectly on the HDX as well before an update for the app was pushed. It's honestly an addicting app and runs smooth on the device!
Edit: Also don't forget you'll have to download the Battlelog app from another Android device, back it up into an APK and sideload it to the HDX, at leas that's what I did off my non rooted HTC ONE X. The Commander Mode app requires Battlelog app.

This tablet will also be old news in one year. Almost all apps run on this tablet once you get framework and services working.
That's irrelevant. You wouldnt let your tablet dictate what console or PC games you buy?
A kindle will last a lot longer than a yearly franchised game.

Actually battlefield still has quite a following so you can get 3 or so years from an online game. And certainly you want all your devices to compliment each other so yes if my budget were tight I would look for which tablet would window my Xbox or PlayStation or vice versa. In my case though a tablet is lucky to go 6 months much less a year, but most people in my area exchange tablets at least every year as well as phone upgrades every year as well.
Old news playing a 3 year old game surely. Anyway this is going offtopic. The question has been answered.
Yes, it's working on mine no issues.
