Has anyone figured out how to get the AC4 Companion app to work on the TouchPad running Android 4.4 with the 3.4 kernel?
I just learned about the app myself, and have never had it on a "droided" Touchpad, but was definitely interested in trying to get this to work.
I've been following some of the various posts on the web that the app only works with a limited number of devices. The app can't be found on the PlayStore directly with the TouchPad. You have to go to other forums to find the APK and OBB files to install. I've tried most of the workarounds to know avail.
Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ubisoft.assassin.blackflag
My overall challenge is that the program attempts to start, and then given an error that it appears "you did not purchase the app from the Play Store".
Workaround 1: Setting DPI to 200
I have tried this within the build.prop file directly, as well as installing Xposed Framework and tieing the apk to kick off with a default DPI of 200. No joy
Workaround 2: Tweaking Heapsize values in build.prop file
The workaround calls for these two values:
* dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=64m
* dalvik.vm.heapsize=256m
Again, no joy.
Here's the site where I've been getting my hands on the APK and OBB files for the install:

(PS - I don't read German, so the rest of the page may have more details, but it's totally unreadable to me.)
I've checked several other forums, but have found new good solution to get this working specifically on the TouchPad.
Any thoughts or ideas out there?

I've done it on a JC Sullins ROM (which i think is Android 4.2.2) but I basically had to be sneaky about it, download it from a site other than the Play Store, copy a large file of data and then run the APK. Took a couple tries but it worked fine eventually. I don't feel bad about it as it is a free app, but as you say, it won't appear on the Play Store through the Touchpad. Looks like they are allowing app devs to narrow the range of devices their app will be available to install on which really sucks if you ask me.
Edit: oh gee, your link had the instructions and I didn't know, so I didn't have to explain it.

Is there a way to download apps directly to my PC, instead of the Nook?
There are some apps that are "not compatible" in the market, but several times when I get them as standalone apk, I can install them and get them to run on the nook!
hello
i have some thing like that problem i download app from internet like acrobat reader for android and this app is in my download but when i hit it say error and didnt install
can any body help me?
http://tinyurl.com/3gnvuzq
or even EzPDF or mantano cuz it is way better.
http://tinyurl.com/4xqlw6x i know it is a bit "warezzy" but comparing to other it really doesn't have many of these illegal apps (not even 1% of their huge database). It is better than amazon appstore, because it both downloads and installs apps, instead of just downloading (root needed).
Felt a bit retarded looking at the solution... :S
It is just a bit obnoxious to download all the free software by looking at google, but considering the solution of installing android SDK, emulator, a rom with market, etc. - as I've recently seen on the internet - in order to find the appropriate apk, I think it is way better to google or use the black-mart app - even though I'm looking more for a way to circumvent device compatibility...
Thanks, domi.nos
BTW, whenever you do a search for an apk, lots of time you get to market links, and takes you back to the old android market - which is more than 75% of the links I get to find...
For me, the easiest way to install apps is threw market.android.com . I haven't had the problems i ran into using the app on the nook itself. When you hit the "Send to" button it just says "Phone" and will push to your nook.
okay so have just successfully rooted my nook color 1.4.3 and everything is working except the MarketPlace sort of. The Marketplace has limited apps i cannot install dolphin browser or angrybirds unless i manually download from another website. I used this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494901 and followed every instruction. please help thanks

First off, not trying to be an ass, but next time could you use a better thread title than [Q]. This will help the people that are here to help, and also help in the future when people try to use the search function for help.
If when you open the “Play Store” you see the options for Apps, Music. Magazines, Movies & TV, Books then the market is working as it should. If you are not seeing all those options, then you need to perform the “Market has limited visibility” under the “Known issues and solutions” section of the MN thread that you linked too.
I just performed a fresh install with the basic, and then the apps2sd packages, both of them allowed me to download/install all three versions of Angry Birds without any problems. For dolphin browser, you can download/install it using the B&N apps store. The app will be visible from stock launcher, as well as from any other launcher that you might use. You can also google “build.prop for market compatibility” for help with changes to your build.prop to allow for even more market apps. I personally use the Samsung GT-P1000 tweak to allow for greater apps, specifically gameloft games.
And you can use the IMEI generator to make the build.prop changes as well... I've had an IMEI on my rooted/stock B&N since I started working on the generator.
Yes sorry i did reboot 8 times and that worked for me, thanks

Hello,
Browsing some sites, i have stumbled upon this particular app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...l=pl&rdid=com.visionobjects.calculator&rdot=1
It looks very interesting, so i wanted to check, how it performs on my nook.
Firstly, Play Store says "incompatible". But this is not how i used to work out - some apps work, even they are not supported on Market.
But it is; it does not install, so i tried using adb. The issue is, while installation, in cannot find shared library "com.sec.android.app.multiwindow".
Any ideas?
So... I've searched for a similar thread, but I didn't found any so I decided to make a new one.
As I don't want to use any google services on my telephone I had to purge Play Store also. I've searched for alternatives. I came across Fdroid - actually the store I've searched for. The only problem I've faced is there are no proprietary apps. I try to reject using of proprietary software as much as possible, but many of my friends use proprietary chat apps like WhatsApp, Viber etc.
So I've searched a solution to get this proprietary apps without much tricks...just keep it simple. I came across Aptoid - another android store, but I didn't liked the idea behind very well - you can find lots cracked apps etc. and that is not what I am looking for. Second point is - all apps are outdated - so you are missing the new version of the apps and their security and performance fixes. It didn't suited my needs so I decided to purge Aptoide.
So... after a bit of research I founded another two solutions:
APKmirror - it is a website - there is no app for it. So If you want to use it you have to go to the website and download and install .apk manually (you also need to enable Untrusted Sources in your security settings). The website has very nice interface and it looks exactly as a normal appstore. I've bookmarked it and placed it on my homescreen - so it is usable - no pain in the *** at all. The packages seems to be "trusted" as the packet signature is checked with the one of the original developer. All apps are updated - you can even download beta versions (before they hit PlayStore) and if it goes wrong... you can easily downgrade to previous verions - very nice feature. This site is related to Android Police - as it is a good source in my opinion, I think the packages there are trust-able. Is there anyone who has additional info about APKmirror?
APKpure - the second solution I came across. I wasn't able to find any additional information about this source or any review so I really have no idea who is standing behind this project. Anyway... I downloaded several apps and I checked the app signature and it seems fine - every app I checked matched the original signature of the developer. There are also "Trusted" marks same as APKmirror. All of the apps are updated. It looks pretty much like APKmirror - there is no app, just website. You can easily update your applications too so it suit all my needs. Anyway... I would like to get some additional information about it... it seems to me like mirror of PlayStore but... anyone who knows more maybe?
Apkpure has a app that you can download. Just have to watch certain apps such as play games will update to the 038 version when I am completely updated to the 030 version in the play store. Apkmirror describes this on their website when you download certain apps. Just though you should know about the app.
One thing I miss Fromm the Google play store is Google games for backup of games data and achievements. When cyanogen finishes partnership with the social gaming network, play games or whatever it's called, I'll hopefully be able to get away from the Google play store. Course devs would have to enable those servers for achievements etc, which is a long shot. Till then helium is my best friend I guess.

Hello,
I installed Android Things IoT for Raspberry Pi 3 from:
developer.android.com/things/hardware/raspberrypi.html
This is an amazing system that I can add many app to, and I can use GPIO too, for starters, you need to use the adb tool, but I've installed a launcher (link below) and now I can see all the screens as a Device Android normal.
w w w .apkmirror.com/apk/teslacoil-software/nova-launcher/nova-launcher-5-0-3-release/nova-launcher-5-0-3-android-apk-download/
But the Google Play Store that I installed does not work, I believe some app is missing and this is bad for me, I am not able to know which app I have to install.
You can help?
Would it be possible to make an image with the application needed to run the Play Store?
Thank you!

I haven't done this yet, but I'm curious if it's like adding Google to fire tablets:
Google Account Manager
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-...count-manager/*
Google Services Framework
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-...ces-framework/
Google Play Services
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-...play-services/
Google Play Store
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-...le-play-store/
Just thinking out loud. Someone more knowledgeable should chime in.

I don't have the link, but I recall comming across something where they used GAPPS pico to install the Playstore.
https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Pico-Package
As far as I can tell, this should install the PlayStore, but I think you need to use the GAPPS install script to copy the apps onto the SD card, then put it back in the RP I
BTW. I installed the Android Things RPI image a few days ago, but as you noted, it doesnt have a launcher, so its not possible to do anything, apart from display the popup about the hardware details

BTW.
I tried installing the Nova package, and can now see the settings app.
I tried enabling the developer options but when I try to go into them, the settings app keeps crashing.
I presume this is not something that Google envisioned people doing with this build of android
Edit 2.
The display is very slow. I presume this is because the GPU is not being used.
Unless there was eventually a build of Android Things for RPI that used the GPU, its not going to be a particularly usable system in conventional terms.
