Has anyone been able to get this game working yet? cant believe how long they are taking to port it to ics!
I am not sure the issue. I purchased my plants vs zombies through amazon market a long time ago and it works on my nexus.
Now that I have actually played it (just installed... only had it for a week or so) it semi locked up on me during tutorial. Is that the typical issue?
I cant get it to run on my AOKP Galaxy Nexus either. Bummer....
doesn't work on Android 4.0
For some reason I don't think that game will get any more support for it past that one update. I bought it from Amazon too, but I've given up.
not working yet for ics and not in the future i think
It's working fine for me, played a few levels just now. First startup froze but after exiting the app and starting it again I got right in.
Amazon FAOTD
Force GPU rendering turned on in Developer options
4.0.4
I had same issue, I contacted support and got this as a response:

I was so bummed when i tried to play PvZ and Peggle and saw that they are not optimized for ICS. I could not play these on my OG DROID and was waiting for a new phone to play them.
Like WiredPirate, said forcing GPU setting fix it! well almost. it played a whole level and it froze on the huge wave. Normally im lucky if i can plant one sunflower. so pretty big improvement there.
Yeah. Peggle bonks too. can't wait till they fix it! Love those games!

If you turn it off, it won't even load past the popcap splash screen. With force rendering on, I can play to the end of the first level and it freezes.....
it's not that it doesnt work with ICS, i was running CM9 on my nexus s and it worked fine for about 3 days until my galaxy nexus arrived and now it refuses to even install
it's like it's the device rather than the software which is the limiting factor, maybe it doesn't like the way the software buttons etc are done?
Plants Vs. Zombies was just recently updated in the Amazon Appstore to version 1.1. I can confirm that, while not high-res, it does work flawlessly on the Galaxy Nexus now.
I'm running stock 4.0.2.

I got the update also but it still doesn't officially have Galaxy Nexus support, market says incompatible, and it still won't load past the Popcap splash for me. Anything special you did to get it to work for you?
EDIT: Nevermind, I got it to work by completely uninstalling and redownloading it. You're right, its working perfectly. Thanks.
The latest update is running fine on my GN.
Still works for me on 4.0.4, GPU ON.
Doesnt work for me. All i can get my hands on is 1.3 for desire since thats my old phone used to buy the game

just saw the info i was to quick with posting , i guess i was to dissapointed
I've had Plants vs Zombies since it came out in April (it was free for the first 24 hours). The graphics were very poor. Then they released an update as a separate version (1.1) with improved high quality graphics, which you had to pay for. So those who bought version 1.0 had to buy version 1.1 just for better graphics. Unfortunately the 1.1 version crashes all the time mid game, this is why it is not compatible with the Galaxy Nexus and many other devices.
Is it just me, or will GTA III not download?
Aw gutted it doesn't work on the GN!
So glad I read this thread first! I was about to buy it because it shows up in my Market. Here's hoping for an update soon for us with a GN!
I just hope one of the two apps shows up on the last $0.10 day tomorrow :/ Spent enough on stupid apps/games + imported nexus >.<
Oh wait todays the last day.. da fuq bro :/
I thought Google would go out with a bang on this promo, but there isn't a single app that I am too amazed by.

I was talking about GTA III
i know its supposedly for tegra 3 devices. has anyone tried installing the apk on a galaxy nexus?
couldnt get to download it as "this app is not compatible with your phone" is the message i get from the play store on my computer.
I'd figured they would release a non tegra version as well. I looked at screenshot comparisons and the tegra version just adds more environmental things. Lots of swaying foliage lol.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I read there going to have support for more devices couple months from now. Maybe someone will make a mod.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
looks like a really good game. now thinking that id get it on my iPad.
hopefully someone will try out the apk on a non tegra device. who knows... it may work well on the nexus or other high end androids of last year such as the s2 or the note.
installed it on my galaxy player 5
Was able to download a modded version of the apk for non tegra devices and install it. It started up just fine but when it went to download the additional files it stated it could not as "the app appeared to not be purchased". So that is where I am stuck at...
Got this game for my Transformer Prime and its awesome! Graphics and gameplay is amazing.
What i did, is i copied the apk over to my Gnexus and played it with CF3D. You'll need the Tegra plugin to make it work.

I've tried both the unmodded and modded APKs and neither will get past the first three screens before crashing. Running GummyNex LTE 1.0.1 (4.0.4), CF3D 3.3 Pro w/ Tegra plugin, more or less almost the exact same configuration as you are.
Grr. Hell, I even went as far as to crack the Tegra chipset checks by myself just in case there was something overlooked.
Perhaps there is more than one version of the plugin floating around? I have to wonder that because my logcat shows CF3D freaking out and crashing in the middle of recompiling shaders.
Oh well, back to poking at it in the meantime.

Yeah, I'm very interested in this also. Another reason I am not too worried about being limited to 8GB. It would be great if someone who has access to a Nexus 7 could test this out and share their experience with it, if not I will probably just buy it and check it out myself when I finally get mine. I'm interested to see how well it works for basic tasks, gaming, and watching videos/movies. My ultimate dream would be to stream my Xbox 360 games to a tablet like this, and play something like MW3 on the go.

I agree.. I downloaded PLEX and it's been keeping me looking for more.. I wonder if Splashtop HD will support JB and how long it will be discounted 8.99 (usually 19.99) in the play store.. I hope until the n7 delivers

Splash top HD is listed as not compatible with the nexus 7 but the regular splash top is. Also there's a splash top two coming out for android soon. I think I will get this with my credit but I want the kinks to be worked out first.
Anyone try it already?
I'll try loading up my backup from my tab when its comes next week
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
What's the difference between the HD version and the regular version? I can't really find anything on their website or from Play Store (other than "optimization" for Android 3.x or 4.x tablets).
As far as I can tell the regular splash top is designed for smaller screens.
I wouldn't mind buying this as long as it is still on sale when they have made it compatible
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Afaik hd users will be getting free lifetime subscription to the new version when it comes out (at least they are doing that for ipad people). I got an email about it since I own the standard version. Seems like otherwise it's like 1.99 for the app and 9 dollars a year, which still isn't terrible.
i got the free version from amazon when it was the free app of the day!! cant wait to try it out
That's what I have. It works well and looks good to me streaming movies. That's one reason I was wondering what the HD added.

I'm also getting a black screen on my Nexus 7. It is connected because touches on the nexus translate to the comp, it's just not displaying the video on the Nexus screen.
I'd love for them to get the THD version working. Playing big PC games on smaller devices was always one of the most exciting potentials of Splashtop, and the fact that they support bluetooth controllers and special screen overlays in the THD version is awesome.
It's especially silly because the Tegra tablets they made this version for probably didn't sell at all, but here's the Nexus, which has the potential to sell a whole lot and it doesn't work on it. =(
If anyone gets a response from Splashtop please post it here.

I had emailed Splashtop about the fact that the Anywhere access for free is available for any of the Splashtop "vets", they said that the new feature is unavailable currently for Android, however "we will provide the original SPlashtop Android user the free AAP feature. Please stay tuned, it's coming soon!"
So I guess this means that v2 for HD will be compatible w/the N7? Because it's still listed as incompatible as of this posting...
so should i buy hd now or wait to its compatible? because i already have the normal splashtop from amazon.

Need for Speed works flawless on mine. Have not tried others.
I can get Nova Multiplayer to work fine, but not the single player. Quite annoying.
I can't get Heroes or Order and chaos or Wild Blood to work correctly. Wild Blood lacks lots of graphics and Heroes crashes on the tutorial without explanation. Anyone have some thoughts?
TomTom doesn't work, but that isn't a game. Some drawing apps don't work yet either (all from the Hello ColorPencil variety), but I'm sure they will be fixed and aren't games.
The Simpsons tapped out has so much lag that I can't play it with this tablet, yet there is no problem when I play the same game on the first note 10.1, I wish I knew what the issue is, maybe it's the 4.3 problem ?.??..

I found it to be very frustrating as well. Turning "power saver" off seems to have little effects as well. I'm thinking that there just isn't good support for the tablet as of yet, it's only two weeks old.

What version of the note are you using? Wifi or lte edition ( exynos or snapdragon)
Could everyone write up what version of the note you're having issues with, that way we might be able to find a patern. I.e what SoC is more stable, reliable.
Basing on similar Note 3 the Snapdragon 800 version has better app compatibility along with better performance.

I'm assuming you meant the 800 snapdragon?
It's faster, a tad more stable ( as far as I've been able to gather ) and seems to have broader support within games/ apps / development.

Sorry I meant the P600 which has the Exynos. I don't really see any benefit to having it. Sure it has "8" cores, but if it can't run things properly, why bother?

I think it's more than capable. I'm worried about actual development more than anything. I think we'll see fewer roms/kernels, and less support for apps/games.
Yeah, we probably won't see roms or kernels thats true, i'm fine with that part as it defeats the purpose of this device.
As far as support from games it will be okay since these devices are selling fairly well (Note 10.1 & morso Note 3).

Sorry to dredge up an old thread but I just got the 2014 edition yesterday and I'm finding this game almost unbearable. But here's the weird part, previously I had the original Note 10.1 and it played fine, just like you say. When I got the new one I wiped the old one to give it to my wife. Now the old one lags terribly too.
This is really frustrating, but at the same time gives me some hope. It ran fine on the old one until I did the factory reset. So that tells me there might be a setting somewhere that can fix this issue.
Of course, this thread is so old you guys might have already solved the issue. If so, please post how you fixed it.

Still an issue. I've tried a number of things - factory reset, CleamROM, standing on my head, starting a new game, etc. Can't get decent performance out of my favourite game! This sucks!

I just got my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 from Amazon and I'm already having issues with it
I play Simpsons Tapped Out and this game ran without any lag on my 2012 Nexus 7. However, when I load up the game on the Galaxy Tab S 8.4, I am having major lag while trying to pan around the town and even while trying to tap the buildings to collect money. I imagine Tapped Out is an incredibly casual and lightweight game(resource wise), so it makes me worried about how 'real' games will perform on the device.
My question is, if I root and debloat the tablet, will this improve performance on the tablet? Or is this the kind of performance that I can expect from the Exynos tablets?
I found this thread, and I was going to follow those instructions to debloat it with titanium backup(I assume I can use that to debloat it). Has anyone tried this and noticed an increase in performance?
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help
As a follow up. I just went through and rooted the tablet, froze all that bloat and it's still performing like garbage in Simpsons Tapped Out. How is this possible that the Exynos chip isn't as good as a 2 year old tablet? Is it the QHD display? Is it TouchWiz that's causing it?
Out of all the reviews I looked at, none talked about this type of lag. This Simpsons game can't be that graphic intensive. Why is it stuttering so badly when I pan around the town?

May just be that that game is confused by the Exynos 8 core cpu. The device clearly has the power to run a simple game like that. In short, I think it may be the game and not the tablet.
One other idea. Try running Nova Launcher. But other users have had the same issue as you with that particular game.

That is really sad to hear. I can't get Family Guy working properly on the tablet and now this Besides watching content when I'm in bed, this is all I use the tablet for. It's making it really hard to format my 2012 Nexus 7 so I can give it to my father.
I'm curious if it's the CPU or the GPU that the game is having an issue with. I have had my eye on this forum lately and am getting excited that the CyanogenMod ROM might be the solution to my issue with these casual games. Positive thoughts :fingers-crossed:

I wouldn't say I have a huge city, I'm only level 17. Nothing like my level 40 city in Family Guy. But I have a dozen or so characters unlocked in Simpsons. I can log out of my account and play as a guest I think to test on a starter city.
well, it wont' connect to the server now :/ but I will test it when I can
There have been reports of issues with this game on the other galaxy tablet forums as well. Since this tablet is fully capable of running even more complex games I would focus on the software as the issue. I'm not sure if these issues have been relayed to the developer but that would a great start to a resolution.

Back to the initial topic: Debloating can eliminate some of the background services that consume processing power. But it would surprise me if this would result in any relevant speedup (on an Octacore).
Other than that, probably the color adaption+enhancement thing does cost some performance (and battery).
And Mali T628 drivers might not be optimized.

I wouldn't say I have a huge city, I'm only level 17. Nothing like my level 40 city in Family Guy. But I have a dozen or so characters unlocked in Simpsons. I can log out of my account and play as a guest I think to test on a starter city.
well, it wont' connect to the server now :/ but I will test it when I can

Just to let you know it's not your tab. Tapped out doesn't work properly with exynos. It's the same note 10.1 2014 ed and tab so. It's a software issue

thanks for all the help everyone :good:
Just FYI... The Simpsons Tapped Out also performed horribly on my Nexus 10. I think it is the app. It was never optimized for some reason

It plays perfectly fine on my 2012 Nexus 7. There has been a swarm of lag complaints about it on blogs dedicated to the game. So maybe it's on their end
We now have some excellent rom's in development which should improve your experience.
I just tried the Simpson and couldn't try to replicate the lag problem. Mind runs very smooth.

thanks for testing
i loaded a new game and it ran ok until I got about 3 or 4 people on the screen. i see different lag spots. one happens when it first loads people's animations. so even if i scroll away, when i come back it seems to load those animations again. another lag spot i see is when i try to tap on a building to activate the money or finish the person's task. when the money bounces out of the building, i see lag spikes here. they don't go completely away after i collect the money, but shortly after
the family guy from the amazon store plays fine and doesn't have this lag. i also read on some dedicated simpsons tapped out blogs that EA is aware of a lag issue. however, im not entirely sure if i am getting the same lag they are confirming. we will see though.

Out of morbid curiosity, have you tried my cm port?
