Need to pay again for paid apps/games?! Solution. - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I would just like to announce and possibly help out any of you "hardcore" mobile gamers who may have ran into the issue with paid games on the android market, mainly EA games. When I went to take some time to race my new Lancer in NFS Shift©, I realize the game had uninstalled itself, as well the market had told me I have not paid for it, originally I assumed I could navigate to "My Apps", install from there and all would be we'll, I was wrong. Ill spare you the long story and offer you the simple solution,
Downgrade your market to 3.xxx.27,
Simple, right?
Hope I helped someone, take care and happy gaming. (;

Angrybirds!

This is under the dev part of the forum because I was going to see if someone could unpack the angrybirds.apk and remove the ad's from the game or if someone could post a early release download before the ad's were implemented. I love this game and I don't want to wait for Rovio to produce a non ad version...anyone?

AdFree, one of the best apps for a rooted phone.
That is stealing!!! Ads are there to supports the developers hard work! They deserve to make money and honestly they are even letting you download it for free, so either you wait until there is a paid version or just dont play at all.
You can just put your phone in airplane mode and the ads won't pop up.

You consider that stealing?....not really since they released the game without ads and then made ads for people to click on which I will never do and if you wanted to really think about "stealing" consider yourself a thief since you hacked your phone and are using apps that aren't approved from the manufacturer and running "illegal apps"...so w/e dude..I've been downloading music and apps off sharing websites like rapidshare since I was like 12 dude...they are stealing from us. These things shouldn't cost as much as they do ie: windows os and microsoft office its just ridiculous and everything else in the world and if that's what you think, like I already said you shouldn't root your phone.

You're not furthering any cause by being cheap. Also rooting one's phone is not piracy. Voiding your warranty won't land you in jail.
Didn't mean to cause such an uproar. The only reason I mention adfree is because you can download it straight from the market. And no you are not stealing the game is free. Period. Like someone said putting your phone into airplane mode gives you the same effect. I am not taking anything from the devs if there is no paid version alternate.

N64 Emulator removed

The Nintendo 64 Emulator N64oid was taken from the market.
https://market.android.com/search?q=n64oid&c=apps
This is very bad news for people who were waiting to get a new phone to play the graphically intensive n64 games.
Hopefully it will come back, but it looks like it may be gone for good.
Link dead. But yea what the heck are they doing?
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
wow. They charge you for the app then you flash a rom try to recover it and its gone anybody know why it's gone?
Some guy on a forum said google is doing a crackdown on emulation.

Don't worry, it wouldn't be because the dev is poor. He's coded all the other great emulators. Apparently it was Google laying the smack down.
People are sharing the .apk, but I'm sure if you email the dev he'll share it with you directly as you've legitimately paid for it as well. I did so too but thankfully have it backed up for when I get my Atrix.
do you think they will start removing the other emulators? I've been putting off buying one and if they are being taken down I mind as well buy now while I can.
I emailed Yongzh and got this as a reply:
"Yong Zhang to me
show details 1:00 PM (2 hours ago)
A great number of users are complaining about the compatibility and running performance. I am doing a rewrite of some of the core modules. Don't worry, N64oid will be back much better in 1-2 months.
Thanks for the understanding! I won't let people down."

Modern combat 2... Force close!... I have a fix!!!

This is a tip i just found for modern combat 2 on the xperia play.., this is using a genuine copy of modern combat 2 on a stock xperia play ...
I bought the game this morning went to play it and all i got was FORCE CLOSE (process com.gameloft.android.GAND.GloftBPHP.ML) GRRRRRRR! So after trawling through google for 30mins i found some dude who had a way to get it working...
1..open the game with pad slid in (in the apps menu) it might work with the pad slid out too
2.. then youll get force close blah blah blah...click close or ok or whatever
3.. now hold on your home key so recent apps appear on screen
4.. now click modern combat 2 in recent apps and it works!!!
hope this helps somebody cos i was pissed off when mine didnt work, thanks goto some dude on a random forum i tripped up on.
if this is old news delete this thread BUT if its useful to ya, gimme a HELL YEAH!!!
Hell yeah ? !
hell yeah? its a pretty inexcusable workaround to a problem that shouldn't exist. after paying for something that was supposed to be tailor made to my device i expect it to work properly without having to resort to some bogus workaround.
plan to be more careful when purchasing gameloft games in the future because the response they gave me was more of the same, and that is just weak IMHO.
All mine work just fine
yeah i agree it should work without the need of this, but itll do for me till they have a proper fix, maybe theyll patch the game. it might be my end because i installed some bogus versions of the game first that i later uninstalled but maybe they might have upset it abit lol...
anyway man just done 30mins multiplayer on capture the flag with about 8-10 in the server and was surprised how good it was, oh i had to register via my laptop with gameloft live cos trying to register in the game caused FORCE CLOSE again, but once registered u can log in and it all works good
see u on the battlefield soldiers ill stab u all in the boob
I had this problem, i kicked up a fuss and gameloft gave me an extra game for free!

I had the same problem and this does works (HI5!) however I agree that its not acceptable on the part of Gameloft. This game was advertised on this device and it was in the Xperia Play app, clearly its just a minor bug that could have caused havoc, and I have also told Gameloft what I think (hopefully a free game!).
Hopefully I will see you guys playing online.

Original Thread lol

But good idea for posting it here it will get seen more and be more helpful to people having this problem.
I noticed it force closes when the os does something like say you press the home button it will force close and you will have to start again from your last save which is annoying. This problem must be down to a conflict with the SE software as problems still exist with phone rooted and debranded.
Auauaua, great!!!!
Working on motorola Xoom now!
This is great. I had no idea.
works for me. Pressed the thanks button. Gameloft said that they will give me a free game as they don't know how to fix it.
Worked for me too!

Works like a charm !

Same problem on SGS2!
I was having the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S2 and (much to my surprise!) this work around actually WORKS!
Just debating whether to accept the free game they've offered me and carry on playing! Its really bad that Gameloft are allowing this to happen, so I wont feel too bad.
What's the debate? Just pick the free game and play the two. The cost for Gameloft to send you a link to another game is 0: plus, the glitch is their fault in the first place, and they seem lazy to correct it. If they're too lazy to give you proper service, why should you get restless about exploiting their policies?
Hahah i discovered this by myself thinking that I had solved a worldwide issue I searched for forums to announce my discovery and tell everyone to get a free game as well
Unfortunately you beat me to it but I still suggest everyone get a free game for their **** up on not being able to code properly for fking android.

Need for Speed Shift Now "Fake" FREE for Xperia Play owners

Go to Xperia Game menu and get it
Will check it later ! I need to write to Gameloft first!
Got the version 1.0.4 from Gameloft for Rainbow Six and this one works ! Finally (Version with the additional 1 MB to download)
Still Sacred Odyssey Not working ...
Update: This game is mentioned Free but in fact it's not a Free games it's a trial Game.
EA might need to check the definition of FREE on dictionary...
EA sucks as usual when it comes to customer care...
EA sucks on making Android Games since Asphalt 6 is at least 10 times better that this "Bip"
Sorry people I really thought that it was free since it was mentioned on the Xperia App and i should have checked this before posting but you know that those company might give some oportunity to download only for a day.
in canada with rogers, dont see it atm.
I am with Rogers but it looks like the trial games like sims 3.
The Tom Clancy one had FREE on the icon.
Do you know if it is a trial?
Edit: I wont kow until I get home and try.
Not seeing it yet in us. Pay or free.

Its free just doesnt say it on the icon. Says on the download page. I hear spirderman is next on the freebie block
Sent from my R800a using XDA Premium App
You have to go into the xperia play app (when you slide the screen up) and select More games on the bottom and it should be in that list. If not you need to update your play app. I had a bunch missing until I updated the play app.
For me Tom clancy and asphalt 6 had/have FREE on the icon and the ones that just say free after you go in where just trials. I'm keeping my finger crossed. If any Canadians can confirm this please do.

Also If someone got the APK of the free version of Rainbow Six that worked with firmware 2.3.3. I'll be grateful if this person could kindly PM me and sent it since my version doesn"t work. (v1.0.1) and didn't have the time to get it while it was available here...
I need the version with the additional 1 MB to download

need for speed has always said free on the ea shop, you buy it in app with a premium rate sms
that explains it. The EA ones are trials and the Gameloft ones are full free games.
Edit: Had me excited there.
I can confirm the Tom Clancy game is the Full Game. Not Demo in Canada. make sure you have a bit of time to DL tho.
And its Fun! heh
Didn't know that sorry But it said FREE for me it was new and never happened before.
I have gone to the EA store and got the apk there. and installed it.
For the moment i'am still working on making rainbow six works and to tell you the truth since now one week i'am writing to gameloft concerning this problem and they seems to have corrected the problem on both games Sacred Odyssey and Rainbow Six but i don't have the update prompt and it makes me mad.
that's why for the moment i was a little busy and didn't have the time to test NFS.
I will do my test later today and post here concerning the release i got. If it's just a Trial i will put that in the First Post and might change the topic too.
Please continue to check it might be a real full version FREE.

i went back to 2.3.3 because people said rainbow 6 and sacred were fixed but neither of them work for me
*reaches for xperia play*
Rainbow Six now works for me i'am gonna check this NFS right now.
Keep checking the thread
Great Rainbow Six WAS actually free here. But the game somehow didn't worked. After checking it again on the Gameloft page it says 3,49€ -.-.
Is it allowed to ask for the working apk here?
Rogers Canada here.
It doesn't say the free icon but it is free.
EDIT: is anyone getting the free trial message?
Sorry thread need to be closed now don't bother posting

{news} ouya launchers and apps

I have been trying to tweak (sideload) apps to the ouya to change the user experience, up to now ive only been able to install jellybean launcher, from the play store, from devweloper https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.launcher&hl=en its the only one that works with the remote and doesnt force close, ive tried adding a notification bar app, but the ouya system blocks it like a bad virus lol, as well as the google anything because i cant even install gmail, xbmc works great, i downloaded it from their site http://xbmc.org/ and a bunch of emulators, you choose, the app thats a wonder although is not scaled for the ouya is http://www.aptoide.com/ is not google play store, but it allows you to search for apps without downloading separate apks, i also have played ouya games from the ouya market and gotta say are pretty snappy, so thats a relief, if you guys want support from your favorite apps/developers, then go ahead to the google play store and send the developers some good ol' emails let them know we want the apps/games we've already payed for on our ouyas too, makes sense no?, hope you guys find this useful
PS do not install " Go Launcher HD" itll make your ouya useless and un-usable, trust me i had ti return my first one stick to simple launchers because fancy ones tend to switch rotation and they'll get stuck like that, good day
What was useless with Go Launcher HD? I have it installed and have zero issues.
