Actual games on Galaxy Nexus

Hi guys, do you know if actual games (developer for Galaxy SII, Optimus 2X... at 800x480 pixel resolution) will be run at the original resolution upscaled to 1280x720px (so the power of the GPU is ok, because it elaborate the game at 800x480 res) or they (the games) will be run at full 1280x720px because to vettorial graphics (in this case the SGX540 is not so powerful...) ??
Thanks
(and excuseme for my extremely poor english)

I think that will be different on different games.For example i dont think that gameloft will scale their games to 720p but games like riptide gp are allready availebel in such resolutions.

Probably be months til Gameloft supports the Nexus Prime. The Transformer is one of the best Android tablets on the market and one of the best selling, and it still isn't supported, even after 5 months -.-
Hopefully SG2 games work on this bad boy.

Games from SGS(1) should work on this thing mainly.The GPU is the same, but the CPU is OMAP, so maybe games that work on Moto should work too.

I copied over my apk (TB restore) of Assassins Creed as well as MC3 (MC3 i had to redownload as I believe they actually download different apk depending on which device you have). THey both work wonderfully (although at first it was getting screwy and i had to clear data and cache including the stuff in the sdcard and redownload all the files). Not sure if i *had* to, but just to be safe, I did it anyways.
Anyways, it scales to full screen, although im thoroughly unimpressed by the graphics, and it shows even more on a 720p screen (that is; how unimpressive the graphics is). But I suppose it'll be a ffew months before games that look amazing in 720p will come out.

any game that has HD supports this phone like air attack 2 HD awesome graphics

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.
Btw Sonic CD came out last night as well, $3

Chainfire 3D in general works on the Galaxy Nexus, only Night-Mode doesn't.

Has anyone gotten this to work on their Galaxy Nexus?

I don't remember where I originally found it but I have an HD apk of plants vs zombies that is working great.

Plants vs Zombies?

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

[Q] How good is the A100 for Gaming?

Howdy all
Long time forum lurker here, never bothered of making an account.
But now I need to ask this, how good is the A100 for gaming? I can buy one really soon but I was reading reviews and apparently in the press release it is described as a "mom's" tablet.
The dual core and NVidia Tegra 250 + Small screen looks really good and I figured it should run games fine but I want people who own this tablet to let me know first how good it is. My main usage will be films and games, and I mean real games ie GTAIII, gangstar Rio, Asphalt, Modern Combat, ect.
Thank you all for your time and I wish you a good day!
- Noops.

I'm playing Ashpalt 6, Riptide GT, Cut the rope, Let's Golf 3, Road Warior.All of them running fine without glitches or lag.
Although Asphalt is not listed in the market like compatible with the device .
The device itself have some bug with the touchscreen sometimes, search this forum and you will find for what i'm talking about.I see it too but very rarely and only when typing.
For the movies 720p resolution is playable and is good looking on the device.The battery life is almost 4 hours without stop playing .Some people say that is a weak point but ... it's up to you to decide.

I agree, it can game just fine. I have not played Gta though. One Problem is a bunch of games aren't listed in the market, so you have to find the apk online and load it up. 720p runs awesome too.

Editing the build.prop to that of the A500 should make it work (and let it show up in the market).

i used this build.prop
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554259
and flexreaper rom but the game does not appear =(

All of the games that are actually compatible with it seem to run very well on it. Gameloft is finally putting some support on for this device; they have 15 games available for it now.
The hardware supports everything I've run on it well. When I think of a "Mom's tablet" I think Kindle Fire. This one is far more capable.

Gameloft has Ashalt 6 listed as compatible with the a100. I bought it from them back in January.

How can it be?
I managed to see asphalt changing the build.prop and i installed it. When the game tries to download the resources the first time it says the device is not compatible. This message comes up with both a500 and a100 build.prop.
So now what? (Is it possible this game is compatible with a100 depending on country? I know this is dumb but I can't see any other reason at this point)

[APP] Splashtop HD on Nexus7

Anyone tried it out yet, or would be willing to try it out, or think it will work with the n7? If so, could this be the best option(?) for media for those with the 8gb model. I plan on trying it out when I get mine.

Threads about Apps go in the Themes & Apps section

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 was curious to try it out but the hd version doesn't even show up in the play store on my n7

The regular version seems to work, THD gives me a black screen when trying to remote connect, I'm going to email support and see if there is something in the works, because I am unsure if I need to grab the THD version or the HD.

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.
