Title: Galaxy Tab 2 + Real Racing 3 question Post by: SgtSpike on May 30, 2013, 10:40:49 PM My grandpa has a Galaxy Tab 2. He wants to give the game Real Racing 3 a try, but it's not officially supported by the Google Play store. That's fine - I don't care if it isn't officially supported, I just want to know how I can get the unofficial version installed.
Keep in mind that I only have a little experience with Android/Linux stuff in the first place. But that's why I'm asking here, because many of you are freaking experts on the stuff. I spent around an hour reading through various posts about people getting it working, but haven't had any luck myself. I downloaded an .apk file for the game, but when I clicked on it, it said it couldn't be opened. When I went to the terminal and tried to open it, same thing. I can't remember the exact error, my apologies, but it was along the lines of it couldn't be opened. So my question is, do I have to do some sort of root to be able to open .apk files? If so, is there a recommended guide for accomplishing this? Any risk of bricking the tablet if I attempt it? If it's not a root, then any idea why the tablet won't open the .apk file?

Nope - I had no idea such a thing existed. I'm assuming I can find out how to do that via google, so I won't ask you to detail the process.Like I said, I know very little about the Android world. ;) Title: Re: Galaxy Tab 2 + Real Racing 3 question Post by: Este Nuno on May 31, 2013, 05:08:20 PM It should be in settings/personal/security
And then check the "Unknown Sources" checkbox Title: Re: Galaxy Tab 2 + Real Racing 3 question Post by: Este Nuno on May 31, 2013, 05:13:12 PM Also be cautious in general with android if your Grandfather has a wallet on there. Especially after enabling this.
Hope it works. Title: Re: Galaxy Tab 2 + Real Racing 3 question Post by: SgtSpike on May 31, 2013, 05:38:55 PM Alright, thanks. :)
Nope, he's not a Bitcoiner, so no worries there. Title: Re: Galaxy Tab 2 + Real Racing 3 question Post by: Este Nuno on May 31, 2013, 06:01:13 PM No problem.
