So I got the onlive viewer from xda a couple of days ago and today I got an email from onlive saying I got lego batman for free. I go to check out the website and what do you know, they released the real onlive app that lets you play games on your phone or tablet. Currently only tablets and some HTC phones work, probably because HTC supported Onlive with the app. The good thing is that the Evo can play games, and if the Evo can play these games than so can the Epic. As well they both have different bluetooth stacks that wont allow for the onlive controller to work but with CM7 that can be fixed, on the upside we have an actual keyboard and maybe they will add support for it. Just wanted to get the word out, maybe we can get an unofficial app apk here from some of the few who can actually get the app. It worked with the viewer so why not try it out with the real app. Anyways Onlive is a pretty good service and the SGSII is already supported so maybe it will just be some time till the epic is supported. For those of you who want lego batman, you can also just download the viewer and you will have it added to your games tab, but you still can't play games with it, I already tried
I was playing Batman Arkham Asylum and it was pretty cool..except I couldn't aim at all without a mouse (keyboard worked fine and tapping on the screen just spun the camera around like crazy).
Can you pair a bluetooth mouse with a (stock) Samsung Epic?

and just got the free Lego Batman and it works awesome with the touch controls if anyone wants to know.
You beat me to it! I was just about to update my thread on the OnLive Viewer app to say that it does games now. Unfortunately, as mentioned, it requires a keyboard and mouse or a controller to play games effectively. The OnLive website shows the controllers should become available tomorrow. $50 is kinda hefty but I get great 4G signal at work so I plan on playing some Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Red Faction on my breaks.
From what I know you can't connect really anything to an epic, something about bluetooth stack compatibility. It even states it on the website that most samsung and htc phones use different bluetooth stacks, I tried everything when I was attempting to play some emulators on my epic. I know for a fact that cm7 changes that but for stock I doubt you could even use the onlive gamepad. But when I say I tried everything I meant controller wise, didn't try a keyboard and a mouse, you could try but I don't think it would be that great. I just want some keyboard support for our epics, built in keyboard, then we could use the game grippers and everything would be great so anyone have that apk, or even a titanuim backup of that would be great.

I played dirt3 just now over wifi, worked great really...the on screen controls were simple enough in that game and steering was responsive enough to stay on the track.
Wait wut arkham asylum? Dirt 3? DEUS EX?

There's some interesting stuff going on in the xperia thread:

I was checking out Saints Row 3 and I still couldn't move the camera anyone wanna mess with the game keyboard and tasker apps they are using in the xperia thread to see if you can use the epic keyboard as a mouse?
You can use sixaxis controller on the market to connect your ps3 control to your phone and in the prefrences use it as an ime. I tried it on dirt 3 works alright but seems to lag but I haven't tried it clocked higher than 1Ghz so ill see if it works later. Still have to use the on screen keys to navigate thru the game.

I am really hoping for Borderlands support soon. That would really make my day.
I enabled Facebook integration on onlive (i already had an account before they had the app but I still got Lego Batman for downloading their Android App.)
I don't like the integration, it's exactly what it sounds like though. The minute I get on onlive, it let's all 400+ of my Facebook buds that i'm being a geek playing video games on my cell. Lol that doesn't quite look good with the ladies.. -_-
I played saints Row 3. Eh. If you don't touch the screen, you can play it without messing with the camera.

Something I posted in the Nexus S forums but thought this is quite fitting for Galaxy Nexus guys for obvious reasons...
Yes I understand GPUs are important for other things. Thread title is a joke. But check this out...OnLive . Basically OnLive is going to try running their services to tablets (doing the game computing in the cloud). I am totally willing to try this! Imagine xbox/ps3 like games on your tablet or even your phone.
I tried running the app on my OG Droid, but it just stays at the loading screen.
So I'm still a little confused on how it works.
are the games being computed on the device? or is it all being done on their servers and so the app acts as a VNC or a remote connection?

Lucky. I can't even find it on the market. From what I gather, OnLive does all the computing on their servers and sends it to your tablet so basically your tablet is just a screen with controls.
Think remote desktop but with heavy compression and geared for speed. It works fine in some games but probably not so great at reflex games or FPS. Onlive has been around for a while.

When I start games on OnLive it says that I have selected a game that requires controler and the game does not respond. Is there some virtual pad that could simulate controls on the screen? I would like to play games with onscreen controls, shadowgun way, rather than carry pad with my phone.

There are 3 different game types. Ones that require a keyboard/mouse, ones that require a game pad, and ones that are optimized for touch. Some games support all three, some support only two and some support only one. You need to find the games that support what hardware you have on hand. Obviously on a phone you're limited to touch and maybe some mouse based games.
I played Dirt 3, which of course is a very fast paced game, on my tablet the other day. It played just fine. No lag at all and very responsive. Only issue were the actual controls. Little hard to use the virtual controls for such a game.

Hey guys/gals, about 2 hours ago Rockstar released Grand Theft Auto 3 for android... and it runs GREAT on out A100's! Market Link and its 4.99 attached is photo of it running on my A100! Youtube video of it playing
confirmed. I used my sixaxis app to hook my ps3 remote to it and then the acer to the tv. It works if you remap all the controls. I havn't found a way to remap the punch/shoot button. So I can drive and get out of cars and even jump with the remote, but not shoot. If anyone figures it out please post.

No, just go the market and get it.
The game makes me remember so many good memories, the first and one of the best ever 3D games made!
The game runs even better then on the PS2/PC (No loading, or just around 15 seconds to load the game from the menu!!!)
The only thing I dislike is the car control, turning a car is the same as full throttle steering... (Simple left and right arrow)
Why did they do that
If only they would use the same pad for running to control the cars, I would play it even more then I do already!

[UPDATE 3/26/13]
Using the official Pivot app causes input lag when WiFi is on. MOGA is working with Google for a fix but this will work temporarily. Just disable wifi during gameplay with your MOGA controller
[\UPDATE]
For those N7 owners with a MOGA controller, this thread should contain discussions for compatibility, profile creation, support, and fixes.
As a new owner, I've found 2 possible solutions for getting this paired on the N7:
Standard Moga Pivot App
MOGA Universal Driver
I am on 4.2.1 Paranoid Android beta9 (currently) and Trinity Kernel. I've been doing lots of testing with Sonic games because I've played Sonic games for over 20 years. I'm finding lots of variables and perhaps this thread can shed some light on the issues.
Scenario 1:
When I launch the Moga Pivot app, setup the controller, and use it to launch games, the games are flagged and typically "know" you are playing with a Moga. This tends to map buttons accordingly and also display additional button mapping screens (Modern Combat 4).
In this scenario, Sonic is very laggy and button presses CAN be 1-2 seconds delayed or not registered at all. This also slows the "d-pad" response causing Sonic to pretty much to be unplayable.
Scenario 2:
When I download the MOGA Universal Driver app, you have to manually pair the MOGA yourself through the bluetooth settings and select the device within the Moga Driver app. I've set it up as a System service that requires root.
In this scenario, Games play perfect speed wise. I had absolutely no problems with Sonic lagging. MC4 also plays great with the exception that the lower-right analog stick didn't work. I'm assuming this requires a profile setup.
The Moga Pivot App pairs nicely with my Galaxy Nexus and Sonic CD LITE with no problems or delays. The Galaxy Nexus is running Xenon 4.2.1. I've tried various kernels on the N7 with similar results.
So how do you prefer to use your MOGA?
Thanks for starting this thread. My MOGA arrives tomorrow.

What do you have to do to get the pivot app to detect modern combat 4? I've got both installed and the controller paired/synced, but the only modern combat 4 I can find in the pivot app is a link to playstore to buy it.

you should read the card the promotion code comes on for MC4... It gives you a link to gameloft. Type it in on chrome and you will get a place to put in the code. Then it downloads that way.
I've had issues playing MC4 with the MOGA, I just got it today and on playing... it's impossible to aim. For some reason, whenever I turn to look left or something, it continues moving in that direction. You just flick the stick to the right or left and you do a 180 or something... I got slaughtered...

Thought I'd clarify this real quick...
The way the Pivot app sends input to the game and the way the Universal Driver sends it are completely different...
Pivot sends it to Android with a proprietary library that 'Moga optimized apps' are looking for...
The Universal Driver makes your Android device think that the Moga is a USB Gamepad... Android 3.1+ natively supports USB gamepads and many apps like GTAIII/Vice City, Riptide GP, and Shadowgun support generic gamepads. Using Pivot wouldn't allow you to use your Moga with those games, but using the Driver will Why MC4 has partial support for that mode, I have no idea.
Does the Moga actually clip to a Nexus 7?
If not, I wonder if there is some sort of hack to extend the clip or attach it another way.

I think they will have to update the pivot app to scan for the gameloft-installed version of MC4. It seems like an oversight that they forgot to add support. Maybe player911 will chime in, but I'd guess he bought MC4 from the play store.

It doesn't seem like there would be an easy way. The weight might also be different when trying to hold the nexus 7 in the clip. I think powera makes a larger version, though I just read that in one of the thread about the free deal and haven't looked for it.
MC4 shows in my Pivot app. Try uninstalling the Pivot app and reinstalling it AFTER MC4 is installed. Or a possible restart. I previously installed Sonic CD and MC4 before the pivot app.
That LAG you were talking about with MC4 is the SAME exact lag I'm seeing in Sonic CD. I use Sonic CD as a reference because it is a platformer and much easier to notice the lag. This is exactly what this thread is about. Trying to figure out how to fix the lag.
Currently I'm using JUST the MOGA Universal Driver app. I actually like it more because it comes with a Widget Toggle to turn the service on/off. It plays fine for Sonic CD and GSNES... but doesn't work 100% with MC4 (right analog stick doesn't work).
I'm thinking it could be the way BT is polling. Perhaps the BT send/receive speed is reduced or something. Please include your Rom version (stock 4.1.2, 4.2.1, or custom).
The MOGA works great on my Galaxy Nexus and looks mighty fine too. It is just my N7 that is having issues.

Bluetooth is very wonky in 4.2.1 and it is most likely why you receive lag.
If MC4 doesnt show up in your list your can start the Pivot app and drop to your home screen then start MC4 and its works fine.

True but if you launch from the Moga app, the game launches knowing you have a moga. So there is a few additional features you won't have if you launch normally. One such feature is the gamepad control overview page, where it shows a moga controller and all of the assignments.
And as far as 4.2.1 bluetooth being wonky, I knew this going in, which is why I'm confused as to why my Galaxy Nexus plays it fine... unless it still uses the old bluetooth drivers still. If everyone is having a problem with lag, ok, I'm ok with working toward a solution. If it is just me, I'd like to know so I can fix it.
I ask everyone with an N7 and a Moga controller to test out Sonic CD. It is very easy to notice right off the bat if your lagging or not.
At this point, we have several possible causes:
- The Moga App is causing delays (which I think is part of it)
- New Bluetooth Stack is causing delays (bandwidth, timing protocols, etc?)
- Kernel/Rom Combination
- Something else
woow guys,never heard of Moga..now i see the official site and i ended buying it...awesome!and only for not more than 40 euros..don't know you,but for prices in italy it's very cheap!
great 3ad,i anxiously waiting the arrives of mine!
MC4 and gta VC totally different story with Moga!

It seems to be a problem with the pivot app, as I was getting input-lag quite quickly when I was trying nova 3 on my galaxy s3 (I'm on 4.1.2, AOKP, btw) while using the universal driver I was having a blast playing emulator games without any input-lag. And yeah, for Modern Combat 3 the right analog stick was not working (also grenade button) when using system mode for the universal driver.

New Android mapping app that works great with the Shield. I love the Shield but many games have no gamepad support. I found the Game Controller 2 Touch app and took a chance. It is amazing! I can play After Burner Climax and Sine Mora with the gamepad and more importantly with the analog sticks. The best part is that mapping controls is simple. Take a screenshot and move the buttons to where they are on the screenshot. Also developer support is awesome. First version I downloaded was not working correctly and after I sent him an email he responded within a few minutes. He tracked down the problem and updated the app today. So far it is working with every game I have tried.

None of my devices are compatible, so I can't obtain the apk to sideload.
The only easy way is grabbing it from that one YouTube video,but only with an unlimited money mod.
It used to have an unmodified version,unless it is included still.

You would grab the Adreno download since that is the FireTV's GPU.
Be careful if you download on Windows.
The app is free but with IAP,and I really hope the unmodified apk is included.

I only have my K400r keyboard which works fine with Goat Simulator for Android including the built-in touchpad for onscreen analog movement.
If only they would fix it by adding gamepad support and ditching the REQUIREMENT of touchscreen controls.
It SHOULD play nearly identical to the console versions (it at least looks nearly as good),but they neglected to support gamepads.

This is more of a card game masquerading as a fighting game. Not bad, if that's the type of game you want to play, but it should be advertised as such.Fighting games are hard on tablet systems such as Android and Ipad. The interface just doesn't work well for multiple button movements. It's lacking the tactile feel of buttons.
