Anyone have any tips? I've read that all the good market ones get taken down regularly.

N64oid its been pulled off the market for years but the developer has the apk for free. Pretty much everyone I've tried since is just a kang of it that's why they get pulled as well

Are you sure the apk is available free? Because it's available for $5 on SlideME, and the dev is still updating it. All of his other emulators are there too, but they haven't been receiving any updates.

Yongzh is still charging $5 for n64oid, but his other emulators are free on slideme.org.
Edit: n64oid is the best you'll get. Mupen64plus is getting there, but still behind in terms of performance.

IIRC Yongzh was using Open-Source code against its licensing agreement and charging for it.
Note how it was Yongzh's and other hastily repackaged emulators that were taken off the market last year while most of their free (note that Yongzh's other emulators did no become Free until they were taken off Play Market), direct ported counterparts are still on the market.
Reason of Mupen64Plus AE takedown (in case someone uses it), might be possible that other emulators were taken down the same way: http://www.paulscode.com/forum/index.php?topic=303.0
That's how Google takes care about actual developers which don't violate anything: By taking down them with DMCA.
+1 for n64oid -
I made a video on how to get roms/emulators (including n64oid) on the Galaxy Nexus:

i upgraded weapons in dh3 with in-game gold so no issues just that progress is slow,phone game developers will be moving into mmo style which is quite common online/facebook these days , they earn more money this way which of course prevent pirated games , who in the right mind will offer good quality game for free , maybe my title is misleading , i should change it to free to install /play, pay to upgrade ,lol

i agree with money making concept, so from side, i think they are fooling people by making the games interesting and pursuading people to spend real money, the best example for such game is "big time gangsta", superb free game, but u will be stuck unless you spend real money

So do you guys think Google Play will ever be on par with the apple app store? I know they are close in amount of apps in total but I feel like android doesn't get as much games or much support for some of the games. Also, their amount of total apps mostly come from themes and keyboards it seems. I can also name many apps/games from big developers that are missing from android. It sucks its like this with this amazing phone. You would think developers would like to up their customers and support android devices. Why do developers do this? Do they do this because it's easier to get cracked apps on Android without jailbreaking? Is it that much work to change code? Is apple just a test market?

This is not about piracy or support for it. It's about apple app store vs Google Play store and asking a serious question of why android doesn't get support or game development like apple app store. The issue of piracy was raised as a question for seeing if it was a reason for developers to avoid android.

And most of Apple's apps comes from fart apps. Usually there is something at least comparable on the android play store. But both systems require different coding, and also you have so many phones on so many different versions of android, which probably also causes compatibility issues. That's the one advantage Apple has, is their whole system is in house, phone and os, where as Android is put out by almost every other manufacturer there is, and they all put on whatever version of Android the want to.
Sadly when it comes to games there isn't usually a comparable version if android doesn't have it. Is it really much of a task/cost for a developer/team to recode and up their customer base? Is it much different from windows on many different types of computers and versions of windows being able to run the same game/app?

I think you're in a very small minority that feels as though there aren't as many apps or games in the Play Store as in the app store. Polished apps may be an issue (although it is not for me), but I haven't heard too many people complaining about lack of apps compared to Apple.

This thread is unbelievable. I can do so much more with an Android phone than an iPhone. I don't even need apps to fulfill what I need and want in a smartphone. If you haven't noticed android is taking over the smartphone market not because of those stupid apps the App Store has.

I have no problem with the Google play store, and I used to be on an iPhone. And if you can't usually find something comparable, then you aren't looking hard enough. Yes, some of the ones made for iOS you may not find a counterpart on the play store, but I think that margin is dwindling. Google's play store is now growing at a faster rate than the Apple app store. It's just a matter of time.
Just to name some
Gems with friends and some other zygna games not avaliable
Popcap games aren't usually as up to date as other devices
Alot of adult swim games aren't avaliable (ie amateur surgeon)
Minigore
The Sims games

Ps this isn't about comparing phone to phone just asking a question about why Google isn't getting the games. I should of been more clear and stated games and not utility apps/phone enhancements. Also if this us a thread you don't like or think is lame or beneath you don't post or read it.

It could be that Apple has exclusivity rights to a game for a certain amount of time as well, kind of like Xbox and Playstation. Usually one will have exclusive DLC content, or have it before the other for a certain amount of time. Like back when Sony had exclusive rights to a couple of the GTA games for a year or two. It sucks, but that's really the decision of the company making the app. Like I said, the Play Store is growing faster than the App Store is now, so I'm sure it's only a matter of time. (I did see The Sims on the play store, by the way)

The Apple App Store sucks. When my wife got an iPhone a couple of years ago, I tried to find some battery saving apps. Nothing. Then I tried to find something that could turn off wifi and bluetooth automatically. Nothing. If you're looking for anything that will help your phone do anything, they got nothing. If you find an app that you think might work, good luck finding a free one...
Themes and keyboards etc are great, that's how you make your phone your own. In the Apple App Store, nothing.
However, if you're looking for an app to make fart noises, you have 30 pages to sift through, but they're all $4.99

I'll admit app store sucks for utilities and customization but that's apple control freak issues so you'd have to use 3rd party sources like cydia for that stuff. But for games app store gets more and more support for those games. Example plants vs zombies is missing a lot of the features like mini games that app store has. App store is a better gaming store even though android is a better os/has better phones.

Just giving you guys a heads up with the FAOTD from amazon which is Angry Birds Star Wars 2. Along with this free app you get a $5 credit to the amazon app store and when you install the game you get 1000 in game credits for owning a Note 3.
Thanks

Running any Amazon app will not work without their store application installed, and if you check your battery life you will see that just having their apps running on your device whether you use them of not uses enough battery to trigger the alarm in better battery stats. I used to use their app on all my devices but now have just learned to buy them from the play store, in the long run it is much more economical and saves at least 12 percent of battery life per charge. I would not recommend any one using apps from Amazon unless you are so pressed that you cannot support the developer through google play store.
Never had they problem with their app or their apps running all the time. Just trying to spread the news, but it's over now. Sorry you have issues with Amazon.
I've never had any problems. But, FWIW, I Greenify the AppStore. I also think the handful of Amazon apps I use are Greenified

Also...you still get $5 credit
I will only use them to get the $5 worth of apps...then back to the google play store
I got the 5 credit, but can't seem to be able to use it. Also I didn't get the 1000 credit on the game.

Congratulations if you caught the other deal I posted back on the 16th for the $20+ in free coins to use for apps in Amazon App Store.
Today is another one of those deals. This time for 1000 coins (which equals $10 worth). Just do like before and slide to the right of the FAOTD panel in the App Store. There are 5 free apps which gives 200 coins each. You can cancel install after download and still receive the coins.
*These free coins are for today only (5-22-2014)
And, if you missed out on the 2000 free coins from before it is still available. If you purchase GTA: San Andreas ($6.99) with those 1000 coins you just got it won't cost anything and you will get 2000 bonus coins for purchasing. This is $20 worth of coins. If you don't have a Kindle it will need to be purchased off the website. Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...20&ascsubtag=4baa5fba9c7d4f9ea6faf89633495f6d
Enjoy. :good:
I definitely prefer to not use the Amazon Appstore for things, but this is a pretty good deal.
Note - these coins expire in 1 year, so make sure to buy something with them at some point!

Can you buy apps to us on your GS5 with these "coins" for example could I purchase ROM Toolbox Pro with em'?
Yes, you will just have to download the Amazon appstore onto your phone. However you can delete the store after you download and install an application from it, or greenify/freeze it with TiBu.
It's definitely easier to just purchase apps from your usual web browser though via Amazon, and then go install them as needed directly on your phone.
Edit: this reddit page has all of the direct links: http://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidGami..._1000_amazon_coins_instantly_completely_free/
Just did this and it worked! However the apps on Amazon app store are "ehhh". No ROM Toolbox Pro :/ hard to find good root apps.
Well the developers are the ones who determine if it goes on there, maybe a few of us should tweet him and ask him to put it in Amazon appstore as well?

I agree with you that the Amazon App Store really stinks compared to Google Play. I have $30+ in coins right now and can't find anything to buy. Games might be the best bet. Plex is a great app if you use it and is on sale again for $0.99. Root Explorer is on there which has been a great app for a long time. Kind of have to dig around to find things worth it.
San Andreas is not compatible with the s5 it says
