Hello everybody! Does anybody have an idea why all the new gameloft 3D games which you can find here just crash on start? But they run just fine on the Nexus One. What's the problem with our device?

Think this is specific to yourself mate, I'm running Real Football 2010 with no problems. I ran it on my stock software and my Rooted MCR r3 at the minute

Ok, sorry, I wasn't quite right. Asphalt and Real Football are ok. But Sandstorm, NOVA and Gangstar crash in 100% of cases.

You'd better not buy it, I afraid it'll be a waste of money for you, because several people have already reported that it doesn't run on their devices either( But it runs fine on Droid/Milestone and Nexus One.

So no fix yet?

NOVA runs ok on my desire.

make sure your downloading the arm version not the omap one, gameloft do 2 versions for each of there games and only the arm versions will work on the desire.... sandstorm for example is omap only atm i think? it will only work with the droid, galaxy s. milestone, ect

Perhaps, it is best to use PC to specify Desire and download them.
If you go on the web via Desire, the automatic download might wrongly identify your phone as a Motorola phone...

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.

No problems then with sending the apks to your tab from phone? I thought about just using titanium and hoping that restores market links for updates

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)

[Q] Game compatibility

Hello, first of all, sorry for my English, I speak Spanish.
I bought a KF2 and patiently i install CM 10.1, currently I have version 20130331. From the Gameloft´s page i bought Asphalt 7, Wild Blood and Modern Combat 4. Only worked: Asphalt 7. The rest closes instantly, When the page asks me I put device model Galaxy tab P1010. When i put Kindle Fire 2 it says: "Sorry, Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour is not available for your phone right now".
I do not think it is for hardware issues, is powerful enough to run these games.... Anyone have a solution?
This tablet supports OTG?
Another question, I guess we all have Cyanogenmod. I saw that I detected only 678MB of RAM, the battery drains faster, any recommendations?
Thank you very much.
:laugh:

I have the same issues with modern combat 4 but modern combat 3 version 1.1.2 works... I emailed Gameloft back and forth about modern combat 4 with all my system information and the said they are aware of the issue and should have it resolved in the next update don't know how true his statement was. Hopefully he is right and if there is a fix with next update soon
***If anyone knows how to get modern combat 4 to work on jelly bean rom let me know thanks

Kindle fire hd 8.9 ?

Hello I'm thinking about purchasing the fire hf 8.9 my kids. But i would like to know a few things.
1. If i install a custom rom based on stock rom and a new launcher and then remove all amazon stuff. Will it then run smooth like for a nexus 7, and have the vanilla feel.
2. Will it run most of the games from google play.
Thanks

1. It should be fine with some mirror issues, just like sound problem if u are using Harshcode's custom rom. He's still working on it. Be patient!
2. If your device is rooted and unlock bootloader, you can run any apps and games on playstore but the 3d games somehow can't work properly on it.
Anyway, Kindle fire HD 8.9 is a good media device, however if your kid wanna play the games, try to think about nexus 7(it's smaller than KFHD though)
Hope it help you.

IMHO Nexus 7 is lovely but the screen size is just that bit too small and the screen resolution also not as good as the KFHD 8.9. The sound is also much better on the KFHD. I know this because I moved from the N7 to the KFHD 8.9!

I have both devices, I like both, but mostly use the N7 for book reading now.
The KF8.9HD is a great device for movies and gaming, and with Hashcodes CM10 it is very smooth, not quite a smooth as an N7 but very good all the same. (all the games I have played on the N7 play on the KF except for a couple of tegra tuned games.)
I also use the KF for PDF Magazine reading, get a whole page in portrait mode.
The KF is a lot heavier than the N7 and that may need to be taken into account for younger/smaller kids.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks. So generally, you think the nexus 7 would be better?

I'm not sure who you are asking this, but if I had to choose between them I would keep the KF

I have both the n7 and kindle. I bought the n7 first and really like it a lot. Then I saw the amazon christmas discount and decided to buy one for my parents since Android was so good from the n7 experience and the kindle 8.9 hd had several better features such as the screen resolution, size and sound. When I got the kindle that's when things didn't go according to plan. It was so limited with amazon's change that I was shocked. I couldn't even change the language of the os. That was a no go for my parents. So they kept the n7 and I'm stuck with kindle hoping one day to unlock it and give it to them specifically for the larger screen. Now the recent update to kindle have language support so that's good but still I really dislike the kindle interface and it's crippling experience. Now that I was able mod and get cynogenmod on it, I'm reluctant to give it back to my parents! It's so nice and smooth and I have most of my n7 feel back using this with the benefit of kindle features. To summarize, if you want to spend the time and unlock it and compare the n7 and unlocked k8.9 hd, feature wise I would go with kindle but both are a win whichever you choose.
