Although I have had this issue with several other games and they eventually end up working. It's funny though my wife has an evo 3d and it works, even works on my clunky nook tablet.
It won't even pop up in the play store on my EVO lte due to its incompatibility. I downloaded manually though from the Web version of the play store onto a rooted nook tablet and on to wife's evo 3d and it worked just fine. Even the Web version said my device, the evo lte, was incompatible though. It's just not optimized to run on the hardware I'm pretty sure. Sorta like how a lot of games only run on devices with tegra 3's
How did you get GTA VC to work on your nook tablet? I've tried for hours, I installed the apk, then put the game data in Android/obb folder, but all I get is the black screen when opening the app. I'm on jelly bean 8.1.
