[Q] Games not working from Play Store? - Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I am using safestrap with thorgapps on the 7" HDX. I am trying to get a couple of games that I bought a while back, working through the play store. The main one being Chaos Rings Omega. I install it fine but when I click the game it bounces me back to the homescreen. Is there a special way to install games that don't work? Is there something in xposed that I can try?

this worked for me;

Made sure to update cpajuste apk to 1.1. Still no go. Probably just doesn't work then.

Apps not supported by the DNA on market but work when Sideloaded

ok I am sure allot of us are getting frustrated with the lack of market support for apps due to the Screen resolution, or whatever reason... but what are some apps that are not supported by the play store that work fine... and also ones that crash or dont function properly
some apps you can DL on amazon appstore
works when sideloaded..
Xbox xmart glass
Cod:Elite
Modern Combat 4:Zero hour- the TB file is only 11mb... you need to let it download the 2gig of program files on first load but works great
doesn't work properly/ crashes
Angrybirds star wars (free)--- paid HD version is supported
Shadowgun THD --- invalid device ;( Bummer
SHADOWGUN DEADZONE update has been fixed...no more pink characters
what apps have you found?
USA Today
Tumblr
1weather
I pulled them off my old phone and side loaded them.
Almost every app that the market says is not compatible is. I tried so many apps via 3rd party sites since can't get on market and they work.

any one try xbox smart glass yet? i could not get it to work fro the market,
The game Rayman Jungle Run is marked incompatible in the Play Store, but on Amazon Apps it says it is compatible.
When sideloaded the game runs perfect, and it is gorgeous with those hand drawn art assets.
I hope they patch dead zone the game is so badass I even play it with the pink guys but I would like it to work

I haven't had this issue at all, almost all apps on the market work fine for me. I was even able to install the XDA App for Tablets directly from the Market (it works without a hitch). It makes me interested in sideloading some apps from my Prime, given the DNA does have a very high res display. Will post results.
Angry birds star wars HD starts up but when selecting a level it instantly quits.
Shawdowgun Thd is for Tegra chipsets only.

Netflix problem

I just got around to installing all of my usual apps today after rooting and installing thebukb rom this weekend. Just after installing Nextflix I checked it and Breaking Bad looked great. I then continued to install all of the rest of my apps and when I was done I tried netflix again. Now I get a message "Trying to connect to an available server (13007)". I don't know if it's another app conflict or if netflix streaming is down. Is anybody else having this trouble?
Netflix is having problems right now

Yeah, Bluestacks is definitely one way to go at it but still too cumbersome for most people. I've got a page where I have posted common apk files that people need and willing to add more on request. Just leave a comment on the page for an app that you need. http://androidcowboy.com/android-apk-files-download/

Appreciated the article, got as far as 'bluestacks' only to be told that my Windows needed 'SP2'. Not being massively computer literate this confused me. Does this mean in order for this to work i need to update my software from somewhere or am i going to have to shell out for a new laptop??

Sky Go Struggle on-going
I have followed the instructions on the original link and managed to get Sky + working on my kindle and Sky Go installed on the tablet. However, whenever i try to open a channel the same old 'device not supported' text comes up!?
I thought i was getting somewhere only to grind to a halt. Any ideas from the floor?
Blue stacks is great! I have Play Store installed, and it force closes every time I open it; however, I've the log-on services framework installed. Maybe a few other things. I use blue stacks to access my existing play store apps I paid for, back them up using ES File Explorer, and upload onto google drive. I haven't had a problem installing and using paid for play store apps; play store closes, but it only really needs to be installed. It never lets me get past the terms of service agreement before closing.
Anyone getting past that without rooting? That kinda messes with the stock apps--considering I need those to work, rooting will never happen for my kfhd8.9.

Everything installs except vending.apk so I have no Play store. I am rooted. I don't understand because there is already a vending apk in system/apps but if you click that it won't install either. Writing over t with the new one just leads to not being able to install the new one, re-booting doesn't help. I am stuck.

[MOD] (NEW/UPDATED+Moga) Add even more apps to play store + list of working apps

I just wanted to start a topic on tegra 3 and other games that work on the galaxy S4. Last night I did a little testing with a few Tegra games on the S4 that are not in the play store on the device that worked.
(Update) To find almost all games in Play Store follow thes 8 steps Carefully.
(I AM NOT RESPONSABLE IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE OR MESS YOUR PHONE UP. TAKE YOUR TIME)
1. Download this file. (Its used for another fix but helps us also
http://www.4shared.com/zip/66jo-mIz/Multi_DPI_Play_Store_416_for_J.html
2. Move zip file to internal SD Card
3. Reboot into revovery and flash Multi DPI Play store.zip with CWM or whatever flashing tool you use besides the stock then reboot.
4. Download ES File Explorer.
5. Hit menu and then "Root Explorer"
6. Hit "Mount R/W" (I just mount all 4 and press ok)
7. Now go back to main screen and tap the top bar and pick "Device" (so yoyur not searching the Sd the actual "Device" partition for system files.)
8. Look at the folders displayed below and tap the one that says "System"
9. Tap/Open the "build.prop" file with a text editor of your choice.
10. Change the line that says:
(ORIGINAL)
ro.product.device=..............
(The ... stands for whatever your device is. Its different for every one so I just put .... as an example)
(NEW/CHANGE TO **Only use one of these and dont copy whats in brackets**)
ro.product.device=softwin (Fakes JXD S7300b)(Recommended)
ro.product.device=olympus (Fakes Motorola Atrix)
ro.product.device=d2att (Fakes Samsung Galaxy S3 on att)
ro.product.device=grouper (Fakes Nexus 7 Tablet)
ro.product.device=tf300t (Fakes Asus Transformer Pad)
ro.product.device=GT-P7500 (Fakes Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1)
ro.product.device=maguro (Fakes Samsung Galaxy Nexus)
ro.product.device=tf201 (Fakes Asus Transformer Prime)
(Make sure you change what comes after the equals sign to "softwin/olympus/d2att/etc" no spaces)
11. Save, restart your phone.
12. Go to Aplication Manager in your settings. Clear data for Google Play Store.
FINALLY check the Play Store for a ton of new apps. Give it a few minutes to add the new apps well your searching. Takes a few minutes to see the changes and new apps!!!!!!!!!
ENJOY AND REPORT BACK IF THIS HELPS
So far ive found out that:
The Dark Knight Rises = Workes perfect so far. Great graphics.
(New) Dead Trigger = Working good no issues ive notice. Still trying it out but seems really good and fast loading.
(New) Gangstar Rio = Running perfect.
(New) Samurai II Vengeance = Working good, no issues as of yet.
(New) N.O.V.A 3 = Runs amazing havent had any issues.
(New) Wild Blood = Works fine. No issues at all.
(New)The Amazing Spider-Man = Working good. To bad drawing distance wasnt increased for the game seeing as the s4 has so much ram
(New) Rayman Jungle Run = Works great no issues. Looks nice on the S4.
Real Boxing = WORKING FOR THE FIRST TIME :~)
9mm = NOT WORKING. Non compatible message. Still trying different versions.
NBA Jam = NOT WORKING.
Wanted to add to the list Tegra games that can be bought in the app store (just for reference):
Riptide GP = Works great. Max out graphics settings in options for water splashed on screen, better waves and all around better graphics.
I know theres more in the Play Store just cant remember right this second.
Anyone who has tested Tegra games not purchasable and purchasable in the Play Store feel free to add to the list or do your own testing with different app Could be useful later on, obv the S4 can handle these games.

And from what I've experience, PS3 controller doesn't work that well (I only tested it using Bluetooth). You can use the d-pad, but the buttons on the right and the joysticks don't work too well.
Buy a Moga controller online it is compatible with most games. Download the Moga app to ger an idea of what games are compatible. Basically all the games ive been testing have been updated to work wirh the Moga controller. Looks like an xbox controller with a mount for yoyr cell phone atached.
(New) Nova 3 works great also on the S4

Ill look into that I just got my gameklip yesterday the ps3 controller works flawlessly with emulators
The Moga controller works with a lot of android games and has a second mode I think that helps with emulators. Ill report back once it gets delivered.

I have game compatibility also on hear which saves people time and money downloading games not knowing if they work. Both our threads are great to have. Ive also been looking at getting the gamws that dont work to work somehow. Must be more of a work around.

lol riiighhhtt, if you say so...
anyways there is an app called ChainFire 3D. it requires root to work and it works by adding in the NVIDIA drivers, so tegra exclusive games can be played. It also has a PlayStore fix, but i don't know if its been tested on the S4. maybe thats something you wanna look into?
I know about Chainfire 3d. Have all ready been looking if it can help.

Pairing with smart tvs is changed. Now it acts like a mobile rather than tablet. But working perfectly :thumbup:
