I factory reset my Acer Liquid z160 Android phone because it was getting laggy and can't open some apps. Now it is fixed. But I now have a new problem. This game I was playing for months on this phone, says it is not compatible with my phone. I still have the files of the game in my SDcard but app isn't there. I tried to update my phone but it says it is already up-to-date (4.2.2) What should I do?

  • Did you try to download the game again? All apps which you installed would have been wiped after factory reset

Simply find .apk file of that game on google, and then install it.

I have had this issue before. It means that you can not play the game in question due to incompatibles like if your device does not support multi-touch and the feature is then recommended for use in the game. If you have another device that you can play this on you can extract the app (50 / 50 chance). Some apps can be extracted others can not. You will in turn have to allow Unknown Sources(Risky for leaving on when done and otherwise) when you are to reinstall it. I have done this with a game, to play on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 that said "this device is not supported". You'll need to download an APK extractor first (APK: Android PacKage) WARNING: Sharing Applications Purchased by you (Free and or otherwise) is against Google Play's terms and conditions and or is in a grey area. Selling the app as your own WILL put your Google account under review for possible ban and or removal

  • Grey area -Open Source Hardware (Recommend to ask Developer Developer will recommend you to direct him/her to the app on his/her device and install)

After installing the APK extractor do as follows

  • find the app in question
  • extract
  • locate APK
  • Save to SD card and place into device of choosing
  • go to settings on device in question
  • go to Security
  • Allow Unknown Sources (Read Warning and continue at own risk)
  • goto folder with game in question
  • click the APK and install
  • done
