Sony's PlayStation Mobile for Android just went live for certified devices.
But what if you don't have a certified device, which so far includes only a number of Sony phones and tablets as well as the HTC One series?
Not a problem - if you have root on your phone or tablet, getting the PSM (PlayStation Mobile) apk to work is a matter of pushing a few files it relies on to your /system directory and rebooting.
Here is PS Mobile running on Nexus 7 :
*** If you're not using a certified device, don't be surprised if it crashes on yours - after all, it wasn't certified and, therefore, not tested.
*** Installation Process :
>> Download and install the latest PSM apk from here
>> If you try to run the PSM app now, you'll likely get this:
>> Download the flashable zip from here
>> Flash the zip from custom recovery, like ClockworkMod or TWRP. This relies on having busybox, which if you're rooted, you likely already do.
>> Alternatively, if you don't want to flash from recovery or just like to know what you're doing, you can perform the steps manually while booted into Android:
>> Now register for a Sony Entertainment Network account if you haven't yet and try playing some games.

- Unzip the zip file downloaded in step 2.
- Copy playcertetcpermissionscom.playstation.playstationcertified.xml to /system/etc/permissions/ on your device.
- Copy playcertframeworkcom.playstation.playstationcertified.jar to /system/framework/ on your device.
- Set the permissions on com.playstation.playstationcertified.jar to 644 (read/write, read, read) using your favorite file manager or command line.
- Reboot.
