Please Help me play my favorite game - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Galaxy Tab S 10.5(SM-T807P) Running Stock 5.0.2
I'm trying to find a way to get this device to play XCOM Enemy within, I've tried to see if there is a thread on XDA supporting this idea before posting this, if missed it and there is a link that someone can provide I would greatly appreciate it. However if there is not one I would like some help with someone who has some free time to assist.
I've never rooted before but I am not opposed to the idea(if it would help me accomplish this) with some instructions on how do it.
Thanks!

Have you tried finding the apk file and installing it manually? I've installed one or two apps this way and had no issues on my Tab S
(you don't need to have a rooted device to do this)
Edit: XCOM and EW are BY FAR two of my favourite games. And XCOM 2 is definitely in the same league

[Q] Beginner ? - Flash and Marketplace

I want to preface my questions by fully acknowledging my complete ignorance on this subject. Nothing is worse than someone who won't do their own leg work. I've hesitated posting these questions just because I didn't want to waste anyone's time. However, after spending literally hours I just ran out of options. I'm turning to the geniuses on XDA for some help.
I have the CDMA (Sprint) version of the Touch Pro2. I just installed the latest 2.2 build (the one that supports the external speaker).
There are 2 questions.
1. Is accessing the Marketplace for paid apps possible with the TP2 and this build of Android? If so, what changes do I need to make to my device to enable that capability. Right now I can only see free apps.
2. I was trying to get Flash to work. It doesn't show up in the Marketplace. I tried to install the apk file from a thread on this forum (can't post the link as a new user). However, I received a generic failed installation message. I also tried using SkyFire 2.3 (BETA). But when I navigate to a site with Flash on it I see a little box telling me to download Flash Player.
I really appreciate any help that I can get on this. Again, I apologize if I missed earlier discussions on these topics.
For the paid apps you have to download the market enabler. It's in the faq http://sites.google.com/site/androidport/faq Look for "I can't see any paid apps available for purchase in the Market."
I don't know if you can get flash enabled because we haven't got 3d working yet.
Thanks
Thank you very much. I really appreciate your time in answering the questions. I'm installing Market Enabler now.

Is it not possible to download an apk and somehow use adb to install it? I think that way is possible.
Eph.
Can you explain a bit more please
Go to the themes and apps section and find a thread which contains an apk. Dowbload Astro file manager then try and install it

[Q] PSXperia 1.0 Compiling?

Hello XDA forum, I recently got an Xperia Play and wanted to use Yifan Lu's PSXperia, i have already used the tool several times and had no problems extracting apks and zpaks. After installing said components, when it comes time tostart the game, the health notice appears ad then the screen remains black but does not crash.
In the README for the tool, it has compiling instructions with indicated files. It mentions a "lib" directory and "resources" directory. Can anyone who has successfully used the exploit on an R800x (2.3.3) give clarification on this? I may have overlooked the compiling (is it necessary?) and wanted to obtain info regarding this before I start looking at the logs produced.
If possible, would anyone be able to provide a slight procedure on how to do the compiling and where?
Thanks in advance.
you have to change your data pack
use PSxperia 2
Hey Mehdi, just thanked you man, THANKS.
I knew about the 2nd beta but was unsure of using it, but after going ahead and fiddling with that one I am now HAPPILY enjoying Tekken 3 on my Xperia play!

[Q] CM10: App disappeared and not reinstallable

Hi there fellows,
first of all, I wanted to thank all of you for the work you do on our nice phone: Developers, supporters, everyone: You've all been a great help for me
Now I come to a problem I've experienced since a few days (since I updated to FXP152 [CM10], to be exact. Reverting to FXP151/150 didn't solve the problem): "Poweramp Unlocker" just disappeared from my installed apps. This is quite a nasty problem, since I bought the unlocker a while ago and I just love Poweramp! In a few days this problem will get worse as I won't be able to use Poweramp anymore
Here's logcat: [ATTACHED] (package can't be installed to /mnt/asec/com.... for whatever reason)
Here's a screenshot: [ATTACHED] (Translation: Unknown errorcode while installing the app: "-24")
Here's a link to a bug report of which I _THINK_ it could be relevant: [Issue 34880 @ android bug tracker, unfortunately I am not allowed to post links ] (strangely, only the pa unlocker is affected for me, other apps still work fine)
So, if anyone has an idea what I could do now, I'd be very very happy The bug report suggests that it could work to install the apk (without taking the playstore-way). Since I actually bought the app, this could work, right? Does the LicenseChecker-API always return a valid license as long as I bought it, even when I installed the same apk I'd get through playstore myself? And, last but not least, could anyone who bought the app through playstore send me the unlocker apk file so I can try? I already tried to get in touch with the developer, but unfortunately even after 10 emails either he really doesn't understand what my problem is or he's just upset he hasn't the right "pre-defined-answer-emails" and doesn't want to write a new one
Thank you very very much in advance!!
All I can say is that I've experienced the same thing, only way for me too fix it was to wipe everything and reinstall.

[Q] Get Google Play into Chinese Tab 3 10.1 (GT-P5210) from Linux

Good day to you ladies and gentlemen. I will get straight to the point:
I recently purchased a Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 (GT-P5210) in China, and it comes with no Google Play.
I have tried installing the apks for Google Services Framework and Google Play, but as soon as I try to add my Google account (as requested by Google Play on first run), I get the "Unable to establish a reliable connection" to Google servers error. If I try to create an account from the settings panel, the settings program stops working. Google Services Framework also likes to crash seemingly at random.
I have tried getting a western firmware into it, but since I do not have a Windows box, and I haven't been able to get Odin to work on Virtual Box, no such luck. Heimdall doesn't seem to properly communicate with the tablet. Is there a way to do "Odin work" with adb and company?
So that's two questions, but what I would really like to ask is: what are my options? I just want my Google Play account on this beautiful tablet.
On a related note, how is the work on rooting the GT-P5210 coming along? Is there anything I can do to help? I have experience as a developer in general (not Android specific though), and I would be glad to help.
Thank you all for reading through this post
EDIT: I also couldn't find any custom recoveries for the Tab 3, are there none? That way I would be able to install a gapps .zip, maybe...
I finally solved this on my own. Anyone facing a similar situation, follow this and you will be signing in to google in no time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44615378#post44615378
Galaxy Tab 3 from Chna
Hello tjohnman,
I also buyed last week a galaxy tab 3 10.1 here in china and have the same problem.
I have already rooted the tab and also found some how to´s for installing the google framework
and the app store for example
worlwideweb.androidpit.de/de/android/forum/thread/413743/Android-Market-Auf-X2-G
, but it works only more or less. Some of the google apps are running now but the most important
the google play store still didn´t run.
Maybe I only take the wrong software or I don´t know.
Can you tell me what exactly you have done to install the play store???
My Tab is:
GT-p5200
Android Vers. 4.2.2
Kernel 3.4.34-1216049
Has somebody a good idea or can tell me which software I have to use.
Thx for your hepl.
Solved the problem

Solved the problem by myself! But still is for me not clear how I can now which gapps-jb-xxx is the right one for my system.
Only with testing it was possible to find the solution.
Has anybody a good idea?
