Is there any possibility that we will have a 100% aosp rom for the photon even if it takes a while? And is the photon supported by the amazon app store? What is new about the ota I received today I didn't install it because I read people were having problems with it. What are some cool games I could play that take advantage of the tegra 2 chip

We'll get pure aosp eventually. Yes Amazon appstore its compatible. And most OTA errors are either user or hardware related.

1) AOSP should happen sooner or later. From what I hear CM7 is pretty close for the Atrix.
2) Not sure I understand the question about the Amazon app store. It works just like the regular market on the Photon.
3) The new OTA fixes the mute call problem and various other minor bug fixes.
4) Go get the Nvidia Tegra Zone app from the market. Has list of Tegra optimized games.
Ok good on everything you said I'm just not sure about taking the ota will it block me from being able to root
Edit....
When I try and login on the amazon app store it won't let me keeps giving me and error

Might have to uninstall and re-install the app. No reason why it should not be working. I have the update and everything works same as it did.
The OTA will remove root but you can root again afterwards.

I have been using the new Android market for a week now and it suddenly does not respond when I open it. I just see the screen greyed out and the spinny saying it's loading. The thing is that it never loads. Has anyone else had this issue? Any advice?

Agreed. It actually felt good to go back to the original... I think the update that got leaked was unfinished or not optimized for 3DEVO

Same thing happened to me. It would take forever to load the first page, even over wifi. Uninstalled the updates, and it works great now. The new market is pretty, but I think the old one is more functional
Never had this problem.. hah.
I don't like the new market. I tried it for a week, but just got a new Evo 3D and won't install it on my new one unless we are forced to take it.

I likethe new market but damn is slow, some apps won't update or took forever when to the old one and it works great ill just wait for google to work out the bugs and push the update instead
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
New market seems smoother to me, but to each his own

Can you guys see it on your market, it was released dec 15 and is supported by the photon but i cant find it, its 40% off right now so i wanted to get it
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Its not showing up for me on skinnyrev1 either.
Its showing for me on the stock rooted rom. What market version are you guys running. Maybe the app creators took it down temporarily so they can fix a few things since the entire comments are filled with idiots *****ing lol.

Has never appeared on market for me and im on stock rooted. Have latest version of market. Posted this on other forums too. I just gave up and got it elsewhere.
shows for me. stock rooted, with market updater frozen so im on the old version of market. GTA just got updated today also...
I just got GTA III 10-Year Anniversary but cannot use it until I get home. It wants another 432Gb of data over WiFi. Oh well............
I can see it in the market and already downloaded it. I've only played a few minutes of it but it works great so far. its on sale for $3 now. I know for a fact the photon is one of the few supported devices. If you can't see it on your phone's market then i suggest trying the android market website
Its up now and on sale till the 29th. I can see it on Market and Amazon. I'm on stock rooted latest OTA. It runs fine on the tegra 2. BTW, check out the disabled effects you can enable here:

The tegra 2 handles the additional effects just fine.

I'm having the same problem. It seems when they switched to the play store, they might have changed servers and things got mucked up. App devs, are saying they aren't receiving their money from purchases. I can't even download apps that I purchased, and some don't show up in my purchased apps. Big headache.

Hey I had same issue lol. To apps not showing up to sayin I didn't pay for the ones I bought awhile back.
If you clear the play data it should work. I still had issues after that tho . Twrp 2.0 the latest rc had messed my system up. Went back to Cwm 4.0 no issues.
I unrooted to just to make sure and it worked back on stock everything . Rerooted and went Cwm route no issues with market.

The Play Store lists GTA: Vice City as not compatible with my LG-E970. Yet, GTA: III is compatible, and Vice City is even it is compatible with my Acer A500 with a measly Tegra 2. I can't for the life of me understand why this game wouldn't be compatible with the OG.
Anyone have any insight into this?
Not sure either. My tegra2 will play Sims 3 but my LGOG won't /:
I think it's the company that releases the apps. They probably block certain devices. Not sure why though
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
The most confusing thing about this is that it's compatible with the Nexus 4 ! It's literally the exact same hardware, creating a port seems like an extremely easy task for Rockstar to do. Perhaps LG has to communicate with the publishers, regardless it's very disappointing to know that my superior phone can't run the same games my friends can for no valid reason.
Anyone think a build.prop edit would change that problem?
This is the email I got from rockstar last week
Hello Xorrito,
We apologize for the long response time on your support ticket.
Unfortunately your device is currently not officially supported. A list of officially supported devices can be found at
Due to the number of devices currently on the market, it is difficult to verify the compatibility of all devices. We are currently in the process of testing new devices, and will make GTA available for download to these devices when testing is confirmed as working properly.
We recommend staying tuned to this article and official Rockstar Games press releases such as rockstargames.com/newswire for the definitive updated list of supported devices. This way you will be alerted if your device does become officially supported in the future.
We apologize for this inconvenience and if you have any further questions, comments or concerns feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help in any way we possibly can.
Cheers,
Brad

at&t optimus g phone not supported aka AT&T LGE LG-E970
How come this phone is not supported while the nexus 4 is?
They have the same hardware.....:{
Xorro78, thanks for sharing that email. It's kind of weird Rockstar wouldn't test the comparability with our flagship phone. Hopefully soon.
MrZim4, if you try a build.prop edit please let us know the outcome. I'm guessing it'll work as long as it tricks the Play Store into thinking the OG is an N4.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium HD app
Have you tried changing build.prop to a different or similar LG or another android phone/tablet that is compatible with this game that also has similar hardware I would almost bet the dual core snap dragon android phones will work just edit the device name in build.prop unfortunately they don't update the device compatibility fast enough per app/game but this mod should work, it has in the past say for example to play certain games on the HTC one x I had to change device name to replicate another android I think the HTC one s and compatibility issue went away in market. I'm actually looking to do this for gameloft live which lol is not compatible with this device but will work.

If you really want to get GTA VC working you'll have to download the apk and sd data from a 3rd party site. I've tested this and it works fine. Only do this if you have previously purchased GTA VC on the Google market.

Purchase and install it on your A500 then pull the apk from /data/app and the obb folder from internalstorage/Android/obb and copy them to your phone in the corresponding folders. I think the asec file might be needed, too.

If the games that aren't compatible are free games, I'd suggest just downloading the apk and sideloading it. One of the reason they aren't "compatible" may be due to the DNA being classified as a phablet by some people (which is the reason why Skype isn't available on the DNA).

Well it looks like they finally added DNA compatibility. If you read through this thread, Skype used to be incompatible with the DNA due to it being a phablet, according to Skype's tech support.

I think the resolution of our screen is an issue more than it huge size. Even though I tried to put an incompatible game apk in my dna and installed, it downloading required data over WiFi but sadly I can see only black screen while playing the game. I guess the game doesn't have texture files that are compatible to our combination of screen size and resolution.
If anyone got them work, help us. And yes Skype is working for me too
