Its free from the amazon app store.
Dont even know it it works, ill update once i find out.
get it while its still free
====================================
So after downloading a playing there seems to be a few issues.
Should be noted Im Running Vegan-G
Game works.
Looks very low res
The background does not render only active areas are rendered.
i.e. first level, the only thing i can see is a strip of grass and the rest of the UI. everything else is black
Game freezes after a few levels...
Pretty much on par with what everyone else is saying...
Game runs fine on my Nexus S, including the background...
i was honestly expecting more from a known dev like Popcap
After it crashed my tablet the first time I tried to play it, the game runs perfectly. I'm running Vegan 5.1.1 if anyone is curious. Now just if Popcap would bring tablet support to chuzzle.
Amazan dont supply my region where i live. maybe someone can post apk for Plants vs Zombies.
Thanks.
Been waiting for this one to hit android. Awesome that it is free for today.
I think because it is really a paid app, you are out of luck getting it posted here for download. Usually the mods frown on that sort of thing.

That would be against XDA's rules.
My whole family is addicted to this game. I have it on Mac and I installed Wine on my Ubuntu laptop just for this game. I was really looking forwards to it on my android devices.
Unfortunately, like some other thinks, actually getting it is not as good as the desire.
The app the make you download for the Android store is a pain. It's slow and clunky. Looks like they are using an internal flash or Java or something. The actual download was pretty slow too.
It runs on the G-Tablet, but it is not tablet optimized. It's just larger. Some effects are a little slow. Definitely not optimized for the G-Tablet's hardware.
Update: I'm running CM 7.03.
Worse than that, it seems to crash (freeze) after about 2 levels. I need to play more to see if it is just time, or a certain game event or action.
Edit: Since flash works, you can play the on-line version as long as you have 'net access, but it's only the first few levels. Just go to pop cap games.
It seems to just freeze a lot for me too. Sorta sad. Seems like popcap can do better.
Doesn't work for me
Unplayable for me--opens sometimes, but freezes or crashes before the actual game ever loads. I'm running Vegan 5.1 with Pershoot's kernel. So disappointed!
A good reason to play with different mods/kernels.
Force Closes and reboots tablet. Is anyone running CM7 playing this?
I'm running a cm7 nightly build from a few days ago. The game plays a bit for me but randomly freezes all the time (the music keeps playing), requiring a force close.
I pulled the .apk from my phone with the intent of copying it to my Dell Streak without having to infect the Streak with the Amazon Store.
Plants vs. Zombies checks for the Amazon App, and that the Amazon app has your Amazon user ID and password. If this check fails, it freezes with a black screen, and may be continuing to use battery. It also seems to need an internet connection to authenticate, at least initially.
If you do not want the Amazon app, or for some reason it becomes inoperable, apparently, all purchased Amazon apps will stop working.
I find this totally unacceptable, and IANAL, but this seems to me like at least pretty close to illegal "Tying".
Besides, at least so far, neither of the 2 tied apps seem to work very well. I recommend against installing either app at this time.
This is the worst (OK, not as bad as the Sony rootkit fiasco, but close) kind of DRM/Defective by Design
I hope somebody that can un-dex fixes this, but until then, as far as I am concerned, we don't really have PvZ for Android.
Unistalled the App and the Amazon Store App.

Same here. I can play one level fine. I go to the next level and it freezes before I beat that level.
Is there a fix? I was playing with my processor speed, but so far, I haven't found one that will play the game well. I don't know if processor speed matters that much, but I will keep messing with it.
Edit:
Processor speeds between 600mHz and 1200mHz don't help. The game crashes for me every time on level 1-9.
It's locking up for me too after a couple of levels in.
I'm running Vegan.
Running TNTLite 4.4.0. Game keeps randomly freezing, sometimes even before getting to the intro screen. Can't really play it.
Vegan 5.1.1 here, and same issues.
Freezes partway through a level, or right after finishing a level.
Works perfect on my Samsung GalaxyS though.

Wow. I just did the same thing. I re-installed the Amazon app store to get PvZ and it told me I had updates to the 3 angry birds I had previously installed through Amazon market in the first week it released. I installed pvz and updated the angry birds apps. Pvz crashes as soon as you try to click on options and after 5 tries to play I made it ababout 30 seconds into the second lvl it locks up. Uninstalled pvz and the Amazon market app. Then I went to check out the updates to my angry birds and it tells me I need to install the Amazon app.
This was not an issue before, the update that was done only made it so I can't play my games without having the Amazon app installed, which by the way always is running in the background.
F~ those guys dude. This skates on the border of illegal and is completely annoying. Way to ruin a good thing Amazon.
Thankfully I have my angry birds backed up with titanium.
works for me using bos 3.3.I will try to play more levels so far I have played 6 levels with no problem. First time i tried it frooze my tablet. had to turn it off then try again. works fine for now.
if only I could get around the bos 3.3 wifi error...
still having troubles with this game. everything else works so well on aosp.
Running Vegan Ginger and a couple freezes and FC's later, it seems to have smoothed out. Works just fine on G2x.
I have no issue with the Amazon AppStore being on here
No dice on BoS/HC 2.4. Installs fine, starts up fine, then freezes.
Just installed O.a.T's ROM, JB 4.1.2, Dec. 22, 2012 and it's the first Android ROM that the unit actually works without rebooting with working wireless which is awesome. However I cannot get Youtube video's to play, the page loads and the first frame of the video even loads and sometimes it seems to jump a few frames but thats all it does. Is there a fix for that or anyone else having the same problem?

OK, so after reflashing the ROM, rebooting several times, it turns out all I had to do was boot into WebOS and then after booting back into Android all videos now play properly, not sure why but it works and I'm happy. Thanks O.a.T's!

To follow up, the sound and video playback still cutout once it a while but powering it off or booting into WebOS seem to fix it until it breaks again.
I have a 2013 Moto X XT1053. I recently run into the problem where if I play a video a few seconds later the video would stop. This happens on youtube video (played via youtube app), local video playback( play via various players), and also games. When I start a game it would boot me out to the home page in a few seconds (sometimes longer). Seems any video or graphics will cause this bug. I have not updated the phone and have been running 4.4.4 for a while without a problem. It just happen out of the blue one day.
This bug happens even if my phone is bone stock.
So far I have tried reset the phone a few times. I also reload the factory image via RSlite to go back to a fresh out of box state. But it still does the same thing. I'm looking for help and suggestions. Thanks
Hi guys,
After updating my sm-n960f (exynos) to android 10 via ota I can't play videos correctly.
With default player everything is fine but when it comes to third party players (mx player, vlc player etc) the problem shows up.
It's like I'm streaming a video which im not (playing from internal storage) the video freezes and actually there is a loading bar in mx player like when you're streaming ! I tried reinstall the apps, upgrading to last versions, turn off optimise battery usage but none of them works.
This problem is really annoying and I don't know what to do with this.
Help me please.
Thanks in advance
I would contact the app developer with the details. They will probably address this in a future update.

Thanks for your reply,
Of course the best way is contact to developers but since I have this issue on every third-party video player after updating to android 10 I just wanted to know that maybe there is a fix , trick or something that may help with this problem
This is a definate problem. On my Android 4 back up expria, ancient, android 4.4, all videos play fine. I only use Mx Player Pro, and find files using es explorer full. On Android 10 q, I tested same using a brand new 128 gig sd card, vidoes played fine upon installation or aforementioned apps, watched a vid, went to sleep, woke up, went to watch a vid, no video now plays. NONE. Tried different versions of mx player, tried vlc, different versions, but stuck with latest, knowing the problem is android 10 q, since the same 128 gig sd card with same movies all play fine in android 4.4, so yeah, get ready for the freeze's that lead to bootloop. I even tried wipe cache in recovery, and the factory reset, re-installed apps, same problem. Why they played, then stopped playing anything is beyond me, since i had no wifi connected, and no sim installed, quite simply, viewing video's in android 10 q is now a no go.
Symptoms include:
Immediate black screen, need to force reboot by holding power for 30 seconds.
Full black screen with tiny blue square dead center, nothing else functons, again, 30 second forced reboot
Video starts, then phone reboots of it's own accord
No video plays.
No, I dont have a virus, settings are set to sw decoding, since hardware brings more problems.
I guess they want us to go on youtube, but since I banned google in my entire network...
Hi All,
I've been living with this phone as stock firmware since it was released however over the past month or so I notice it's been running slow. I factory reset twice installed less apps and it's not solving the problem.
Any suggestions?
I assume this phone have enough juice to run everything as it once was.
Most of the issues are from video playback. When I pause a video then the phone goes to sleep, after I wake the video and try to play the video it will get all weird and I have to restart.
By stock firmware, do you mean you're running android 8.1 that the phone shipped with? Why haven't you updated your software?
Are you using the stock huawei video player or a third party player? Could be the player.
