The iDOLM@STER: Million Live!

Megane~Girl:
So far Mizuki's my favorite out of the new ones. Her voice is adorable!

Yunabeco:
Some Android notes.

In case you can't read, it says "You already pre-registered, please wait until the public release."

Gree works just fine with a Japanese IP (the key notification icon means VPN) and a Gmail address so far, it tried to activate through a SMS right after e-mail confirmation, but the account was already up and live by then. Guess it's for some additional goodies like Mobage (or simply account security).

I can seemingly play without issues on other region-locked games like that freaky AKB stuff via the browser.

The actual Gree apps (apk) log in fine, but crash, though I'm pretty sure that's because of my phone since I'm using a very-bleeding-edge version (SGS2 CM10.1 nightly).
Haven't tried another rom, but Cocona's device works fine with an app he tested, which crashes with me (NepColl). The app version of that freaky AKB stuff had the same issue.

The Gree app itself works fine, though.

Do note: to get the Gree apps through the Play Store, you'll need not only a Japanese IP, but also a Google account with the country set in Japan (easy enough) and maybe a Japanese SIM operator code (I'm not too sure about that last one, which is the role of MarketEnabler/MarketAccess, but I haven't tried without).
You can easily switch accounts anytime by hitting the menu button in the Play Store.

Despite all this I'm still not getting my hopes up until I get to the actual game. There's always a way for NBGI and friends to start blocking disgusting white pigs at the app level. And it's not like I'll be playing it anyway, I don't speak Japanese. But I have time to waste.



When is the release date anyway?

SakuraMaxX:
MarketEnabler doesn't work for me anymore for some reason so I have to resort to finding the apk by scanning Google.

Yunabeco:
The values that were checked by the store and modified by MarketEnabler aren't checked for downloading anymore.

Now it's divided into two parts: the search part (when you lookup the name on the Store) and the download part (whether it will let you download it in your country).

For the search part, I believe it checks all three: IP, account and SIM operator. That's whenever you hit the Search button and type text to get the app listing.
Warning: the Play Store caches pretty much all queries. So if you do change any of those three then try again and find out it still doesn't work, try changing the text a bit.

Now, for the actual download (on the app page), it just checks Google account country, which you can hit Menu > Accounts to change.

Which basically boils down to:
- If you want to download NepColl, access it directly ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.gree.android.pf.greeapp57531a ) on your phone, chances are it won't let you on the web store. Then Menu, Accounts, pick a Japanese account and download.
- If you want to see NepColl on the search results, get a VPN, pick a Japanese account, and run Market Enabler (which I haven't tried).

I'm using this self-made and rudimentary script to change my operator code instead of MarketEnabler. Run as root.


--- Code: ---#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/setprop gsm.sim.operator.numeric 44010
/system/bin/setprop gsm.sim.operator.alpha "NTT docomo"

echo $(/system/bin/getprop gsm.sim.operator.numeric)

/system/bin/pm disable com.android.vending
/system/bin/rm  -r /data/data/com.android.vending/cache/*
/system/bin/rm  -r /data/data/com.android.vending/app_sslcache/*
/system/bin/pm enable com.android.vending
echo "Done."

It's temporary and won't persist after a reboot (though it can be configured to be so). I'm using SManager to run it.
Disclaimer, run at your own risk, I can't be held responsible if this utterly destroys your phone, make backups, yadda, yadda.


Two different queries, respectively before and after running the script above.
tl;dr: you need at least a market link (or the Gree app, which has them) and a Japanese Google account to get an app, and a Japanese IP and Gree account to play Gree games.

Daverost:
I can confirm that you don't need a Japanese IP or Gree account to play, because I'm playing that Neptunia game in your picture without either.
