Can't play Need for Speed shift

I need help, I purshased the game Need for Speed shift and when I downloaded the entired file to my GSII it tells me my device is not supported. Does it have to do anything with the type of CPU we have on our galaxy sII? Please help.

I bought it when i had the i9000, its never worked when i upgraded to i9100.
The support is none existant, you have wasted your money like the rest of us.
Even the countless negative reviews havnt alerted them to fix it.
EA - poor!

One quick way around is to root and install ChainFire3d and install the necessary plugins <Tegra, Qualcomm> and then installing them and playing the game!
Hope this helps!

Did you download it from the Android Market or from Samsung Apps?? Samsung Apps has it for free but specifically states that it is only for the oringinal SGS1 and not the SGS2.

I downloaded it from the android market and thank you everyone for your support. I feel so bad that I can't install the beloved game my 4 yr. Old loves to play on his ipod, I feel definitely really bad since I paid $749 for my GSII that I can't play a simple high end game like NFS.
Yea I am rooted I will look for that software thank you.

Why on earth would anyone want to play Shift on a phone? You need to play it with a wheel!

Same reason people wan't to watch youtube on the mobile instead of on their HDTV. It's so damn difficult to walk around with a HDTV or a set of wheels for that matter

Makes no sense..
Why even have the mobile if you can talk on a landline?
Why have a car if you can use public transport?
Why go to the football match, when its showing on tv?
Why use internet on your phone when you have it at home?
I could go on...
EA has ripped us all off, and neither them nor google wish to refund everyone!
Disgusting.

can you please post the plugins for the necessary plugins so I can download them thank you so much.

Ok, the game is playing fine now, but the only problem is that every like 3 minutes it pauses or turns off completely, so I have to turn the power buttom on my GSII and the game comes back telling me that it has been paused.
Strange every time this happens I see the lock screen, have to unlock the lock screen and then un-pause the game.
Is anyone else having a similar problem like this?

At least with me it was not compatible by default. I had to use CF3D.
Update: Also I can not confirm If CF3D really works since the game content download gets stuck before it even starts.

I finally got to download the resources. Don't ask how because I did nothing, just tried several times (lets say one a day for one week or so).
The thing is it is only working when I have internet connection, which I don't because I am currently abroad...
It's useless for me this game, at least until I get home.

FWIW: Says it's not compatible with my rooted Nook Color using CWM, at 100, 160, or 200 pixel density.

It's working fine on the s2.

I had it as com.ea.simcitydeluxe_na but I had to change it to com.ea.simcitydeluxe_row.
Works now.

I got the game to start up using cf3d and the powervr plug in as well a the powervr data directory.
Now I get memory heap errors when I try to build a power plant.
Had anyone been able to play the game?
What data directory and for cf3d plug in did you use?

Google really screwed with games
Why don't all games use open GL and why do we have to get a specific version for each terminal, that sucks!
Google shouldn't allow things such as Tegra only games, it's a really bad thing for Android.

How is it a bad thing for Android for game developers to be able to push the most (graphically and performance) for each specific model?
Sent from my GT-I9100

Games should be like those on PC: only one version and you apply the different settings according to your hardware.
On Android it's crazy, it's as if on PC, devellopers would have to release a different version of their games for each different type of graphic card or processor or memory and wouldn't use Direct X, that would be really stupid!
I really despise Tegra only games, if the phone isn't powerfull enough to run the game at full specs, just let the user lower the settings so we can still enjoy the game (much better than no game at all).

Any way to solve this?

It installed for me, I did it through the getjar app.

For those who can't install Tapatalk, i believe it's a country issue.

Go to getjar on your mobile browser. You will be prompted to download the Getjar client. Install and use to download the apk for installation. Or use Netfront Browser, because for some reason it allows you to download directly without using that crappily coded, battery draining, anti-sleeping Getjar app.
Sent from a phone with an app.

You can use this client app.

I use Opera Mini and I didn't have to use any GetJar client. The games are pretty nice, I downloaded about 30 games already.

Hey btw, if anybody is downloading from there, do post here which app/game you liked! Might help others
and hey, did anyone get cross fingers working? I get an error in the installed file.

I've been using gitjar for a while now I haven't had any download/install problems.

I've had no luck running a Getjar or market install of Cross Fingers on my Ace. Same for Can Knockdown, Samurai, Wisp, Muffin Knight. Glyder2 works fine. Safari hunt thingy works. In fact most things do. Its the more demanding games that the Ace struggles with, although the Motocross game - FMX - works perfectly. Saved me £5 there. All the non game apps work fine.

I don't understand how getjar is legal. Somebody explain?
Seems just like a site to download warez. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Works right out the app for me. And I don't think its legal unless they're sponsors are paying per download.

Thats plain stupidity.Think before you write.Getjar is a fully legal site.The app developers have deal with getjar to host there apps for free.Nothing occurs without there permission. Getjar as an app store has been there before android market was born..lol.

Just tried it on codename and yeah it's not working at all.

any thoughts as to how to make it work? or any other alternatives, just as good?

I have not find anything better than "Hide it PRO" yet... its not working appropriately on ICS and is frequently crashing, sent couple of taps to Developer and no response yet..
I hope developer fix the issue soon or some one find the equivalent app quickly...

I hope so too because I have ALOT of porn in my gallery all of a sudden.

Huh, I just tried it and it worked for me. I'm running Blue Kuben with FF11 Modem and kernel. I don't believe I'm running the paid version if that makes a difference. I can't think of any reasons why it would work for me and not others. I've never had any issues with Audio Manager and have run all ICS ROMS.
I'm open to any questions, If I can help any.

Alright sorry guys maybe I'm thinking of a different app. I just did a search in the market for Audio Manager and this is what I got. Is this the same hide it pro ya'll are talking about?
Also sorry pdaddy but I'm mobile right now so I can't post a link.

No problem. I found it. Earlier post said there was a paid version. I couldn't find the paid version. LOL

You need to search for your old archive on your internal or sd card and it should work fine I've been using this on my hero EVO and e4gt on ics and gb roms no problem just transferred the archive to new phone and searched for it. If you don't know where the folder is its under programdata/Android/language/.fr/

Just got an SIII w/ ICS and I can get it to hide apps but not launch them from hidden and then can't unhide those apps without uninstalling and reinstalling them. More of a problem for me is that the lock apps function doesn't work. That's what I used all of the time to just lock my other mail, etc. apps so that they would error out.

Bumperooni...
Bumperooni... anyone found a work-around or a fix?

Any word fron Anju on if he is going to port Hide it to ICS?
The program Hide it pro or Audio Manager does not work on ICS. I just upgraded to a S3 and I have had nothing but problems with the program. Is the developer (Anuj Tenani) ever on this forum? Is there going to be any update to the program for ICS? Any information would be appreciated!

This great program must just have issues with ICS. I tried it on my E4GT in every ics ROM and it is horrible. Didn't launch apps and had to uninstall and reinstall. Time to let Devs know. Seems like they don't update this so often at all
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

... just a guess but I'm sure that it has something to do with the fact that the internal "sdcard" and the external. er... "extsdcard" are handled differently with the S3 on ICS and that there is no app2sd function on the S3. I was able to get the GLtoSD app to transfer a couple of my apps to the extsdcard, but Hide It Pro still wouldn't lock or hide those apps after the move... so there are also other issues.

Extreme Bloatware Removal 4.1.2 Stock ROM Best Battery

I love the Note... the big screen, powerfull quad-core processor, 4G LTE... Huge 3,100mAh Battery... I like Samsung TW too...
But yes, that is all i use my phone for... CALL/TXT/WEB... VIDEO/GAMES PLAY... DOWNLOAD FILES AND MOVIES...
I dont use S Pen, dont make sketches or notes by hand, dont use Swipe or WiFi calling, I only synch my contacts with Google... nothing else... so i dont need any other features/elements of the stock 4.1.2 TW ROM so i deleted everything that isnt of use for me and that i know it wont crash the OS or give me FCs of the stuff i use...
Makes the ROM small and snappy, and gives me exelent battery life, almost next to none battery drain...
So before you bash me, consider that there are mybe other users just like me that dont need all the extra features running in the background, and want the best possible battery life...
I am posting screenshots of 4 pages Titanium Backup w the elements my ROM runs, 39 in total only, when you first load TB on a stock ROM it will read 250+ elements !!!
Before you freeze/delete anything, please make sure you wont need that service... for example, dont delete GoogleCalendarSynch if you use the calendar to make/synch notes and appointments...
You need some basic knowlege of what is what, and just freeze first and see if all your things you use are working properly...
I just decided to share the minimum elements to run properly the stock ROM and get the best battery with close to none drain when you dont use your phone...
OK, here is how my Titanium Backup looks like after i deleted every single element i do not use:

Hah yes sold the Blaze $170 got a nice Note 2 w 32GB card for $340, call it a good deal time to get me some LTE goodness i thinks haha.

I even factory reset the phone after deleted everything... to clear the caches and stuff...
Works just fine, the only thing i notice, i had to go to the Mobile Networks and change the APN name from the etc one to the fast, as i deleted all the pre config things from the ROM i assume it wasnt set automaticly, so phone didnt conected to the network automaticly...

Not sure if it was for the note 2 or note 1 but it was an aroma flash file that let u delete all the bloatware
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

this is really useful. good to know that all the com. stuff are useless and can be frozen. was there any list you went by to see what each element is for? i remember there was a list available when i was using the s2, but haven't seen one for the note 2.
does anyone know which ones are needed for wifi calling? i need to keep those.
and also my phone keeps thinking it's new and keeps giving me info on how to swipe to unlock phone after every restart, is there anyway to stop that? i removed most of the stuff like the op, but is having this issue. pretty much my only problem aside from wifi calling.

This interests me greatly and i'd like to know if you just freeze the unused apps or completely un install them\
EDIT:
nevermind no one answer that i figured things out sorry

So is it a list that gives whats safe to unistall i would to try this as well
