Hi.. I have tried installing Worms by EA Games. It downloads and installs right, but then it tries to download files to update the game, and then breaks.. I tried another EA Game (FIFA 2010) and the same happens..
Has anybody been able to install any EA Games successfully from the Market?
Thanks!
Same here im going to.look where ea puts the files on my evo and see if i can copy them over

Thank you!
I couldn't get FIFA to work using this method, although Worms works just fine. FIFA always crashes back to the launcher upon start...
Got FIFA to work, you need to install the apk instead of just moving it to system/apps. Or at least that's what I did to end the crash at start problem.

Hmm... I did install the apk via astro. Which version did you install?

Could you please detail the procedure you followed to get fifa to work? I get the message of "unsupported device" when I start it. I tried downloading it to my G1, but it gives me the same message!
Thanks!
I tried the above method for the Sims. It did not work. The game runs upside down and everything in the game is white except for the menus.

Now I realized that it installs, but the problem is when trying to download the extra 40 MB of content, it won't let me.. Is there any way you could upload the extra data somewhere?
The extra stuff should be either in sdcard/android/data/Com.eamobile.fifa/files or /data/data/com.eamobile.fifa/files
I'll try when I get home, my work blocks all of the filesharing sites, what's a good free one to host it to? Or I could just rar it in ~10mb chunks and email it to you, whichever is easiest.

Thank you. I really appreciate it. However, I think it would be better to make it available to everybody. I think megashare is good...

Here's the files: zipped using 7zip (standard .zip, so should open with anything)

Thanks so much.. I have downloaded it and will test it in a few hours...
Awesome... can you please confirm which version of FIFA this is for.
FIFA 2010, I can't seem to locate the version #.
Can anyone get the Sims to work? I can't.

Can you tell me what are you runnig in your nook? Stck + rooted, nookie Froyo, Honeycomb?
I installed the files, but it keeps asking to download when FIFA is started. Also, I tried finding the .apk for the game, and I can't locate it anywhere!
Stock v.1.0.1, I can try to get you the apk when I get home.
I have Chainfire, and I have the APK but I have no idea how to get the extra game data to download. I tried changing my build prop but that didnt help. Does anyone know how to make it download the data or where I can download the data. Every Google search I did returned downloads for the data but they all said the files had been deleted.
It works for me now with the new update from the game.
Using stock settings with CM7.1

Not sure if this will help, but this is how i was able to get it to work.
If you (or anyone you know) has an android phone, install the apk. to the phone. Update the app if it isnt already updated. Donwload the data. Then, move the data from the phone SD card to your Nooks SD Card. It should be saved under Android-data-com.eamobile.nfsshift_na_wf.
I will say that after I did this, i had to reset my Nook to get the app to notice the data, but it works fine now.
Hope that helps.

This is because his phone has a PowerVR (like the NC) gpu while yours probably has a qualcomm or nvidia. You need the correct type of sd card data.
I bought this an was really enjoying Shift until I had to re-image the NC.
Now, I have an odd issue. In the Market, I can't even see NFS Shift. However, on my other NC, I can see NFS Shift and can download again if needed.
How do I get my re-imaged NC to see it in the Market to re-download?
Thanks!

The android market is a fickle thing. I flashed the same ROM (CM7n253) to multiple Nooks. Only one of them won't allow me to download Google Earth because it's "incompatible." The only difference between the devices is that I assigned them unique IMEIs. I put "Blood and Glory" on my NC and I was going to put it on the others only to find that it doesn't show on the market. Checked market website and sure enough it's listed as "incompatible". Checked my NC and now it's listed as "incompatible" too. Good thing it's a free app, I just titanium backed it up and loaded it on the others. I really wish android market had an advanced mode where you could ignore it's "compatibility" settings.
I'd also like to have a way to gift games (a la steam) cause I would have bought a lot more at the holiday sale if I could have just emailed the codes or had it open on their markets.
apk and data from a Droid X
I installed the apk from my Droid X (which I purchased) along with the data but when I attempt to start the game I get an error message that says "Error (Airplay v4.3.10 [2599558]) S3E_DEVICE_PHONE_NUMBER: This device don't have a phone number!".
Thoughts anyone?
UPDATE: The game starts after I click off that error message. However, even though the game will see the data from my previous game play from my Droid X (money, experience points, etc) it still displays the message "If you want to purchase the full game." even though the copy off of my Droid X was purchased. It also doesn't let me change tracks either so I'm stuck on the Tokyo one.
I know some rom's when signed into will bulk install previous apps and paid apps. My question is can that be done manually though adb or some sort of script. I think others have wondered this too. I haven't found an answer so thanks for any and all advice.

Titanium Backup can make things Easier...
It can, it can also make roms that much worse. I've found using backups causes issues with stability. Thank you for the reply.

As long as you just restore the app and not data, you'll be fine. I don't even use TB except to uninstall stuff myself.

Not 100% clear on what you're attempting to accomplish. Since I'm not clear, I'll do my best to take a few guesses at what you could be asking.
I assume you're not referring to some ROMs which come *packaged* with apk files already.
Example, you have 20 apk files and you want to install them all at once? OR you have 20 apk files and respective data for them and want to install the apk and their data?
As far as I've seen, logging into the Google account which had settings backed up to it will only install the apk files and not retain the respective data for those apps.

By restoring just the app, this answer is referring to the first example I suggest and I completely agree from my own personal experience. Restoring just the apk file, *should* not have any issues.
This is making the assumption the apk is compatiable with the specific version of Androd OS being used on the device, but generally this is not an issue.
If you're interested in the technical details behind how the process works, I can give a few high level points.
The package manager for Android constantly monitors two locations, /system/app and /data/app. If an apk file is added or removed for either of these two directories, the package manager will automatically process it by either parsing the new apk file and adding it to the launcher or by removing it from the launcher and potentially uninstalling the associated data.
Off the top of my head, from adb shell which you mentioned a potential "script" process, the adb command is adb install c:\downloads\blah.apk and the uninstall command is adb uninstall com.joeykrim.appname .
If you're wanting to script inside android using bash/sh instead of outside android using the OS as I previously mentioned with adb, inside Android, I *think* it is pkg .. or pkmg .. I'm not clear on the exact command which prob shows how little I work with the package manager in Android.
Personally, I add and remove apks thru adb or manually copying the apk into one of the active directories and/or remove them manually by taking out the apk file from one of the active directories and removing the associated /data/data directory for the directory.
Hope that isn't tooo much and helps provide some more technical detail!

This is exactly what I want to happen. For the market to reinstall the APK files without the data. They're not all paid apps some are free and they would install automatically after a login. This hasn't occurred by itself in a while for me and I was wondering if there is a way to force it. I dont like having to use titanium and data usage from re downloading all the apps doesn't really bother me.

I've never done it, but aren't you able to sync all your apps to App brain and have it reload them?
Honestly, I always run a "sync all" through the accounts and sync section in the settings menu before I switch ROMs. As soon as I open the market and agree to the terms and conditions, it automatically redownloads all the apps I just previously had, both paid and free.
ok so then I have a ? too... if you don't restore data, and we're all flashaholics, how do you get your game data back. say you play paradise island or angry birds or any other long term game, do you start at level 1 each time you flash a new one?

Just back up app data too. What's wrong with doing that?

this is a great question and unfortunately i personally dont play any of the games .. not really much time. thats more a personal issue though .. haha. as such, i cant speak from too much personal experience.
i have seen game data, specifically angry birds stored in a secure directory on the /sdcard before. also, if not using the sdcard, i also do remember seeing a specific separate "secure" mounted partition.
not sure if they still follow this practice, but i would look into the secure directories / mount points / sdcard and would go after backing up / restoring those.
the up side to this issue is all android device users who customize their devices with root access should face the issue of being able to backup/restore their game data. this point increases the likelihood of there being a good guide / resource is much higher as this is not an evo 3d specific issue.
i would be interested to see any results ppl find. please feel free to post back!
hope that helps!

Absolutely nothing lol. I back up apps and data with TB and I always restore everything. Did it going from Sense to MIUI, back to sense, and even for ICS. I have about 50 apps that TB backs up and restores for me, never had a single issue with any of them.
So long as you don't back up SYSTEM apps or data, you won't have any problems.
But, as always YMMV, this has just been my experience.
I have been browsing for some interesting-looking games to play on my Nook, and the last few that I've seen on Play through my PC (Skyfall, Six Guns, Sims Freeplay) have been unavailable for the Nook. What's up with that?

Those games are showing as blocked on mine as well. They may just represent game makers no longer supporting the devices we are spoofing (Galaxy Tab and Nexus One). You can always try changing your build.prop to get the new games but you may lose access to others.
Thanks for the tip. I've never modified my build.prop. What would be a good value to change to? And what is the best way to modify that file?

You can use root explorer or ES file explorer. The value to change it to has historically been a combination of Nexus One and Galaxy tab settings. I currently have those settings on my nook and it is showing incompatible for the games you've listed. It may be a good idea to try Galaxy S or pure Galaxy tab (SPH-P100 or GT-P1000) since those are all PowerVR devices so there won't be incompatibilities with the games you download.
Well, it seems that no matter what method I try, I can't get /system to mount r/w. I found something suggesting that I need ro.secure=0 in some file (maybe build.prop or maybe default.prop), but I think I'm getting beyond my knowledge and comfort level.
I finally was able to edit build.prop using Root Explorer (should've just bought that a long time ago). However, I can't figure out the right things to edit. I've tried changing the model and manufacturer to the values for Galaxy Tab, Galaxy S, and my Evo Shift, but none make these games available. Clearly, I'm missing something that needs changed.

It has worked for me before, just changing model and brand, then clearing data from google play and rebooting. But I tried it yesterday for six-guns and it didn't work, I used SPH-P100
Hmmm...didn't clear data for Play. Let me try that.
Ok, that let me get Sims Freeplay, but not the others. I even tried loading an "unlocked" Play apk. Aggravating.
I finally wised up. I downloaded the games to my phone, backed up with Titanium, copied the backups to my Nook, and restored.

Well at least is bypassing the device check, since its downloading the content. I was thinking you might need to use Chainfire3d to make it work smoothly. But we'll see what happens. If it works you think you could post a link for the apk you extracted from your phone?
Yeah, if it works, I'll do that.
You have to clear data from play store and google services framework.
Sims shows the splash screen then goes back home. Six Guns and Skyfall appear to work.
I'm apparently too dumb to figure out where the apk files are, so here are zips of the three files created by Titanium. Just drop them into your TitaniumBackup folder on your SD card (might require a reboot), then you can "restore" them through Titanium.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/yseekyj5jxrvbcj/Skyfall.zip
Oh, and clearing data on Google Service Framework didn't help me.
OK, so maybe Six Guns doesn't work. It sort of works, but it's not right.
I'm using chrmhoffmann's v0.04 CM9 ROM, and I'm trying to get full market going.
I've used this guide here:

added the necessary build.prop entries,
force stopped Play Store, cleared its data, and rebooted, but still don't have full Market.

I believe FULL market access is a pipe dream. I had to decide what apps I wished to install and look at the threads (XDA Themes and Apps) till I found which build.prop gave me access to those particular apps make the changes clear Market and reboot. Used ES File manager to save the app so I could reinstall locally at a later time. Make the next change in build.prop, etc., etc.
Good Luck

Oh I'm sorry I didn't get what you said at first, I've seen a app and if I find it again, I'll post it
The thing is, I've used the same trick on Team-B's CM7 Final, and got full market with the Nexus S props, but never seems to work for CM9. Perhaps "Full" market wouldn't be the correct term, but for example Gameloft games would show up, and there are a few apps that I look for regularly as well that all showed up on CM7. I'm wondering if certain props will only work on GB and not on
ICS, or maybe the play store on ICS isn't cleared as easily, or maybe I'm just doing it wrong. If anyone has a set of props that allow Gameloft games to show up on CM9 for me to test that would be appreciated.
