Asphalt 8 crashing immediately on launch

My ouya is running stock rooted with the play store installed. I installed asphalt 8 from the store and it immediately crashes upon opening it right as it says checking license. Has anyone else done the same and have the same thing happening? If so have you figured out a fix?

same problem with my nexus 4
Hi, I have the same problem on my nexus 4. I raised a ticket to Gameloft and they advised a reinstall after deleting the Google play cache. I have a very bad internet connection and it may take a while for me to download the game, 1.53gb of it. I'll try it and will reply here if it works.

Hi, do you move the file on external hdd ?

Any luck with this working I just got my ouya on my lunch break and plan to dig into it when I get out of work

I play asphalt 8 on my ouya everyday the trick to getting it to work is to install this mod and install the fake motion sensor driver in the mod and it will boot right up you'll have to be rooted. This mod will also allow you play all gameloft games e,g, Modern Combat 4, Nova 3, Wild blood without having to purchase a moga controller and will also install the google play store to your ouya. Once you have this mod installed enable the first option for the moga emulation says something like "In Gameloft games, report Bluetooth HID Device as Moga HID" and choose moga pro, then click the icon next to it to install the fake motion sensor driver and If you haven't already turn on the play store. I don't think there is really any other way to do this because the game crashes when it realizes the ouya doesn't have motion sensor drivers until you install this mod. Some people also say that some gameloft games cant be launched from the ouya launcher. I use nova launcher for everything so I know that Nova launcher works to launch the games and its much better than ouyas. Good luck!

nvidia shield tv(2015) problems and questions

hi, today I received the console (used, android 6.0). I didn't have much info about this device. But today I understood that play store is limitied:/ and 3D games lag even on low settings(dead trigger 2, asphalt 8, real racing 3). I think that it happens because of 4k, am I wrong? also I couldn't play play mc5 after tutorial ended(use this account section). How can I download games(multiplayer,example modern combat 4) without rooting? seems like this device is only useful for streaming and GeForce now (I didn't try). is it possible to use play store fully (no limited apps)

Hi, seems you haven't research before writting here.
If there is an app that is not found on play store you can sideload it.... a.k.a search for the apk at apkmirror.com or similar and trustable page then download and use a file explorer app like X-plore (Do not use ES File Explorer, it's not trustable anymore, adware) to search for the apk and install it (you need to enable "unknown sources" in shield's settings to be able to install any 3th party app).
I use a browser to search and download apk and X-plore, you could also use your android phone, tablet or pc/laptop to download and then upload the apk's to google drive, dropbox or similars and then access them from your SATV with the respective app.
Now just in case you're not fan of Android TV limitations and would like to try other stuff, here's a forum where Droidmote dev have shared a full Android MM firmware (no Android TV, no limitations) and a Stock Restyle firmware with full play store among other projects.

your best bet for games and normal play store is full android nougat by zulu99, though not all games are available due to vendor, location and maybe other kind of restrictions, so you will have to edit your system build.prop to cheat google by making it think it is a top notch samsung device or any other high end device of the like that does not have vendor restrictions, to so so you need root (read below).
Google is starting to do new moves against users with unlocked, custom roms and rooted devices. The most recent one is Netflix, the handheld version is no longer available on play store for those users, let's see if Netflix complete the move and stop working on those devices.
For root i advise you to use magisk, read about it, it pass safetynet, it can hide root per app and it's modules structure open alot of possibilities and functionality. Everybody's going to start migrating to magisk after Google's new intentions.

Scope of security software though Google Play Store

Hello good people,
First off, a very Merry Christmas/Holidays to you and yours if you participate in this time of year.
I have a question regarding running system security software installed via Google play store.
Both my elderly parents have similarly ageing Android tablets they've used for years, and I have a subscription to Bitdefender Total Security which covers us all under our Windows desktop, and Android devices.
For Christmas I have got them the new Fire HD 8 and All-New Fire HD 10 tablets.
I've already installed Google stuff using the 4 files below on the 10 as there are certain apps they can't do without (old dogs and new tricks etc) and will be doing the same on the 8 tomorrow.
1. Google Account Manager APK
2. Google Services Framework APK
3. Google Play Services APK (Fire HD 8 version)
4. Google Play Store APK
There is no Amazon appstore version of Bitdefender Mobile Security, only the free av, so I've installed Bitdefender Mobile Security though Google play store but when I ran a scan it seemed to be over and done with extremely quickly.... my question is, due to it being installed through Google, is it still able/reliable enough to run at such a level of the OS and oversee all that it should.
I've only recently renewed the subscription of Bitdefender so would rather not hear... "oh that's crap, use this instead" or "you can use free ones if you keep updating"
Many thanks folks

Top Apps That Require Google Services, and a Workaround for Huawei Phones

It’s no secret that Huawei’s latest flagship phones does not support Google Apps. At launch, there was a way to sideload the GMS and Google Play Services, but that was quickly taken down. That leaves us in a weird place. We have this flagship Android phone but a limited app store, the Huawei AppGallery, and no Google apps or services.
We wouldn’t really know this we use require GMS to download or to use. That doesn’t mean there aren’t work-arounds for Google’s own services or some other apps. Below are some of the 10 most popular apps and services and how we managed to get them working on the Huawei Mate 30 Pro without GMS or Google services installed.
Watch the Video Here
APK Pure
Since we don’t have Google apps, that means no Google Play Store. Going around and searching for each new app update and apk as they are released is annoying to say the least. APK Pure is an app store that essentially replaces the Google Play Store. It’s a better service to use than downloading APKs directly because it supports installing split APKs. This means apps like Spotify can be installed through APK Pure even if you can’t sideload the APK normally. It will even handle installing updates!
To install APK Pure, all you need to do is sideload the APK Pure app. Once installed, you can search for and install any apps you please. It makes for a very good replacement to the Google Play Store.
You can install APK Pure pretty easily
Download the APK linked below
Install it.
Enjoy your new App Store.
APK Pure
Telegram
Telegram is one of the apps that doesn’t require GMS at all. You can sideload it and use it normally. The only downside of not having GMS installed is the lack of location services. Many apps, including Telegram, require GMS for finding and sharing your location in an app. Telegram, being one of those apps, won’t have access to your location without GMS. This isn’t a huge deal as every other feature works perfectly. To install this app, you can install it through APK Pure or download it through APK Mirror and install the APK yourself.
Installing Telegram is actually really simple.
Open APK Pure
Search for “Telegram”
Select Telegram and hit “Install”
Enjoy your honestly amazing messaging client
Telegram on APK Pure
Gmail
Gmail is a bit of a special case. For Gmail, there is no app that will work. Other email apps like Outlook work, but Gmail doesn’t. That doesn’t stop the web version from working. You can easily just go to the Gmail website and have full access to Gmail and your email. It isn’t as great as the app, but in a situation like this, it’s the best you can get and it’s good enough for the basics.
Gmail Website
Skype
Skype is one of the older and most loved chat platforms. I’ve had it for years and it’s easy to use and honestly just great. Luckily, not having Google isn’t going to stop you from being able to speak to your friends and family on Skype. Everything in the app works perfectly fine without the need for GMS.
To install Skype, it’s simple, just use APK Pure.
Open APK Pure
Search for “Skype”
Select Skype and click “Install”
Enjoy Skyping your friends and family
WhatsApp
WhatsApp is probably one of the most popular chatting apps worldwide. There are over 1 billion people on WhatsApp. WhatsApp can’t just leave you in the dark if you don’t have Google services, so they don’t require it. That’s right, you can use WhatsApp on the Huawei Mate 30 Pro without it. It works perfectly with no features missing.
Installing is as easy as pie as well.
Open APK Pure
Search for “WhatsApp”
Select WhatsApp and install it
Enjoy messaging your friends “What’s up” on WhatsApp
Facebook
Last but not least, Facebook. Facebook doesn’t require Google Services what-so-ever. You can just sign into your account and it will work perfectly. This is because Facebook designs their apps to work on any device, no matter the services installed. All you need to do is sideload the apps and it will work perfectly.
Installing Facebook is also super easy to install
Open APK Pure
Search for “Facebook”
Select Facebook and click “install”
Facebook is now installed and works, sign in and catch up with your friends.
Facebook on APK Pure
Twitter
Twitter, like Instagram, doesn’t require any PWAs or require GMS. All you need to do is side load the app and it works! Just like Telegram, it won’t be able to find your location. This generally isn’t an issue though, you can just type in a location to find it. Installing this is just as simple as the others, all you need to do is sideload the APK and it will work.
You can easily install Twitter with a few clicks
Go to APK Pure
Search for “Twitter”
Select Twitter and click “install”
Enjoy tweeting!
Twitter on APK Pure
Instagram
Instagram is one of the most popular social media apps I’ve ever used. Luckily, it works perfectly without GMS. Unlike Telegram, every feature in the app works. All you need to do is side load the app. You can install this through APK Mirror or APK Pure.
Installing Instagram is something you can do in a snap
Go to APK Pure
Search for “Instagram”
Select Instagram
Click Install
Take and post all the selfies your heart desires
Instagram on APK Pure
LinkedIn
LinkedIn actually works really well without GMS. Everything about the app works so you can check in on your contacts really easily. The only thing that won’t work is signing in with Google, but that’s not a huge deal since you can just sign in using your email. Everything else about the app works.
Installing LinkedIn is just like installing most other apps.
Go to APK Pure
Search for “LinkedIn”
Select LinkedIn and click “Install”
Enjoy connecting with your connections
LinkedIn on APK Pure
Spotify
Spotify is one of the great apps that doesn’t require GMS what-so-ever. All you will need to do is install the APK through APK Pure. Spotify does use split APKs which means you won’t be able to sideload just once APK like many other apps. Once installed, it will function normally. You can sign in using Facebook or your Spotify account, everything works.
To install Spotify, it’s really simple.
Open the APK Pure app store
Search for “Spotify”
Select Spotify and click “Install”
Follow the prompts to install Spotify
Enjoy your music!
Spotify on APK Pure
YouTube
YouTube is by far the largest video media site on the internet. It has almost every video you would ever want to watch. It has so much and can entertain you for hours on end. Sadly, YouTube requires GMS as it is a Google app. Luckily, there are alternatives.
The first alternative is just using the YouTube website. You can go to YouTube.com on the Huawei Browser and have full access to your account. It will also allow you to sign into your account and view all your recommended videos.
The next way to get it working is using YouTube Vanced and MicroG. Luckily, neither of these apps require root. Installing is pretty simple as well.
Download the MicroG and YouTube Vanced APKs
Install both MicroG and YouTube Vanced
You can now sign into your Google account and view all your recommended videos and subscriptions
YouTube Vanced and MicroG APKs
Google Photos
Google Photos is the absolute best service Google has ever released. It allows you to store all your photos in a high quality formats. This is an amazing service, but sadly, it will crash without GMS installed. That means you won’t be able to use the Google Photos app. Instead, you can use the website. The Google Photos website allows you to view every picture you’ve taken and synced with Google Photos along with allowing you to upload photos to Google Photos.
Alternatively, you can use the Huawei Gallery app. The Huawei Gallery app allows you to sync data with Google as well. Using stock apps on your phone is always better than alternatives, so syncing with Huawei Gallery with Google data could really be your best bet.
If you aren’t into Huawei’s Gallery and want to use Google Photos, you can use the Google Photos website. It is really simple, all you need to do is sign into the mobile website through the Huawei Browser app. It has a great and easy to use UI along with the ability to upload photos.
Google Photos Website
Google Maps
Believe it or not, Google Maps is one of the few Google apps that actually works on EMUI 10 without Google apps. The full app doesn’t work, but the main and most important ones do. You are able to search for locations and navigate to the location. You can’t sign into your account or use previous locations through location history, but the main, and most important, parts of the app works.
To install Google Maps, its actually really simple.
Open the APK Pure app store
Search for “Google Maps”
Select Google Maps and click “Install”
Enjoy Google Maps!
Google Maps on APK Mirror || Google Maps on APK Pure
Look, Google services are a huge part of Android, but that doesn’t mean you need them. It’s not going to be a perfect experience using a Huawei Mate 30 Pro without Google apps, but it works and most important services you might be interested in running on the phone should work well. There will be an outlier here and there, but most of the time it will be fine.
I bought my Mate 30 Pro, the Chinese LIO-AL00 variant, before the Google app ban and I was disappointed to see it was. As I used the phone without Google apps, I realized that they are less and less necessary if you are willing to work around it. The hardware and cameras are just so good, it’s worth the trade-off of ease of use for that amazing hardware and camera.
