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?
