Apps/Games that DON'T work on Vega

[Guest surly cat]

I'm hoping that by sharing our knowledge of apps and games that don't work on the Vega, this thread will be of use to users and help prevent wasted time and money.

To get things started:

Perfect Viewer (free comic/image viewer) *closes when trying to open a file*

Swype (paid keyboard) *force closes*

Excellent alternatives are Droid Comic Viewer (ACV) and SlideIT Keyboard.

Over to you guys. :(

Slingplayer Mobile for Android app didn't work for me and at £19.46 a pop I made sure I got a refund pronto. No real alternative available as it links to special hardware which is of a customised nature.

EDIT:- After reading various posts on different sites I eventually have been able to get it running ok although apparently Slingmedia don't support the app on rooted devices. Trick is once installed you have to click on the Slingplayer Mobile icon many times until it loads. The first time it took 20+ clicks but now it is 5 clicks to load. Weird but worth it :(

It changes so often things that work one week one the next and vice versa as the vega and the apps themselves are updated. Just luck of the draw although more things work than not. If you want to read comics android comic viewer(ACV) seems to be what people use most often and it works perfectly on the vega.

Swype uses a pretty unique input method but if you just want a normal keyboard ginerbread and tapntap keyboards are both on this forum and xda for download and are better than stock or most of us either are or have used smart keyboard pro.
