[Q] New hd+ on 2.0.5 how can I get play?

[piperman7]

Hi,
I just got a hd+ 32gb, I would like to add some apps from gplay. What can I do at this point? Do I have to wait until the root is updated?

Thanks,
Steve

I'll suggest you read the answer to my similar (ish) question here:

You'll need a 4GB or larger micro-SD card... then follow the instructions. I have GooglePlay (gapps) running on my device.

Be warned that I'm having about 80% success with "device compatibility" for software; Google Chrome doesn't appear compatible, Firefox or Dolphin browsers work fine.

Below are highlights of the incompatibilities for me; note that i'm not listing the many many others that do work.

Words with Friends works, Draw Me Something crashes.
The new Need For Speed works, Asphalt 7 crashes.
PvZ doesn't work; Doodle Jump does.
Etc

Also, to let you know, a lot of apps (e.g. Evernote) which show as not compatible when you look on google play, will work just fine when you sideload them. See Leapinlar's tips thread for more info on that, you need to get adb working.

Chrome and all apps that say not compatible should work. Just download the .apk file then install them. I downloaded them from APKTOP

I just tried Chrome_18_0_1026320.apk but after installing that version doesn't work on HD+ 2.0.5 (not rooted after last update).
I didn't sideload but used Google drive to get the apk to the HD+ and installed it from there. Don't think that should make any difference.
Anyone has a different version working?

Not on stock. I want it badly, but it does not work. Works great on CM10.
