[Q] Compatible games?

I am a heavy gamer, and intend to buy a Iconia A100 for it sizes and speeds.
So, this will be place to list compatible games for A100, including Gamelofts games and others. If you already tested, please list on next posts and I will collect them all here on 1st post. Please also list the specific version for them.
Oh, thanks to vszulc remind, all THD games should work, as they are for Terga, aren't they?
THD games:
- Samurai THD
- Galaxy on Fire THD
- Pinball THD
- Guerrilla Bob THD
- Fruit Ninja THD
- Sprinkle THD
- Monster Madness THD
- Trainz THD
- Shadow Gun (not yet release?)
Gamelofts games (I expect all games release for Iconia A500/A501 should work well):
- Until get confirmation
Other games (please confirm which one full screen and play-able)
- Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 (confirmed by d1dd1)
- For update
* I saw "you-know-where" a GameLoft package for A100. Any one tried yet?

Good idea! I have a bunch of games installed on my A100, so I'll return later with some more details. But off the top of my head: All three regular Angry Bird games. As well as Angry Bird HD and Angry Bird Seasons HD. As well as the Tegra Specific titles that you can find in the Tegra app on the A100: Samurai 2 THD, Galaxy on Fire THD and Pinball THD.
You want some specific version numbers?
BTW: If there's a specific game you were wondering about regarding compatibility with the A100, a good start is market.android.com... You can see which one of your Android devices a game is compatible with on the www-market. Too bad they don't have that feature on the regular market app.
Sometimes a game will be compatible even though it's not featured there though, so its more of a rule of thumb...

I installed the sixaxis controller app to use my PS3 controller to play emulator games. I am loving it.
Has anyone tried "9mm HD". It doesn't work on the a100. I wonder what requirement it needs. It works on my phone.

Stupid Zombies doesn't work. I love that game. Works fine on my A500. Bastards need to get to fixing.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 works without problems

Dungeon Defenders is also pretty good, and its free in the Tegra Zone.

Order and Chaos
Has anyone been successful in getting Order and Chaos to rub properly? I have heard of other devices useing a all devices version but I cant seem to locate it anywhere..

You have to modify the build.prop to get O&C to work. The "all devices" hacked version no longer works as of July and another one hasnt been produced since.
To modify the build.prop you'll need to be rooted and have root explorer (or an equiv) and change this: ro.product.model=A100 to this ro.product.model=A500 in the build.prop file under system.
Once you do the above you should be able to find O&C in the market and download it. Works great, the only thing I've found odd are input boxes. Once you type something in a input box you have to minimize the keyboard rather than pressing enter or tab. For example at the login screen put in your login and then minimize the on screen keyboard.
A word of caution about modifying you're build.prop, if you don't know what you are doing you can soft brick your tab! So be careful, just because the above worked for me doesn't mean it'll work for you.
So you can add Order and Chaos and Vendetta Online to the list of games that will run on our wonderful acer tab

Is O'n'Ch still working on A100? I recently bought an A100 in frys and I'm waiting for it to come to Poland. First things first I will root the device, as I would love to play O'n'Ch on 7''. I have also sent email to gameloft about O'n'Ch not supporting the 7'' tablets,but they didn't reply me yet.

Dead space works great for A100, but i ordered this from gamestop so it came pre-installed.
Madden 12 works great! Been playing this for a few hours now.

Same here. I see several games and app not being compatible with this tablet. Kinda sux cause I really wanted to make this tablet my all around device.

Has anyone tried editing their build.prop file to something like a Samsung Nexus? I have a Nook Color, and I'm constantly tweaking the build.prop with Root Explorer to get apps to show up and install properly. I'd try it right now, but I'm at work.

I'd like to try it. Can you point me to the file directory and which line to edit.
EDIT: found the file under /system now i see these lines related to device:
ro.build.id=HTJ85B
ro.build.id.display.id=Acer_A100_1.018.01_COM_GEN2
ro.build.id.system.id=Acer_A100_1.018_COM_GEN2
Which do I change and what do I change to?
Doing some search tells me to edit ro.build.fingerprint but still not sure what to edit it to.

Change this:

to this:
ro.product.model=A500
Be sure to put the system directory in read/write mode before trying to change anything in there. Oh and becareful changing things.. you can easily brick your device!
doing the above edit to you're build.prop will make most apps, and the system settings think you're device is a a500 which will let you run more stuff. I've had mine set like this for a while now with no issues and games run great, especially order and chaos and even 9mm.

I tried your method but I don't see anything different. Still cant open Order & Chaos. Is there any other app i cant test that works for a500 that does not work on a100?

Gameloft HD Games Now Working From Market

Just noticed that 9mm HD and Modern Combat 2 popped up in my purchased apps in the Market. 9mm is now downloading the 800 some mb, but MC2 is running great as well as Block Breaker 3.

Yeah I was just playing Lets Golf 3 for a bit. Can't believe I waitied through the 1GB update though, took quite a while.

Does Order & Chaos show up yet?

Not showing up for me

I set my model name to Droid X in build.prop and this made a lot of games work (ie: Order and Chaos).

[Q] Galaxy Y Problem

Hi there! I need help with my newly(yesterday) rooted Samsung Galaxy Y S5360. I have rooted successfully, so I downloaded Chainfire 3d from the market, and the plug-ins aswell. Then I downloaded two games, Football Manager Handheld and GTA 3. Tried to run them first without using CF3d. FMH force closed when it wanted to download data all the time. GTA 3 was fine, downloaded the sd data files, and it seemed to work, but after starting it, it came with a black screen for like 5 seconds, then took me back to the main menu. Hoping, other games would work, I installed Gangstars 2, but it came up with the black screen for the first time, without asking about data files. Could someone help me? I have tried all plug-ins, played with settings(reduce texture size, etc.), tried SetCPU, Swapper, have got enough free space on SDCard, and Phone Memory, but no success.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Tried NOVA HD, and Brothers in Arms 2. NOVA did the same as Gangstars 2, black screen for a few seconds, and back to phone menu. BiA worked, but characters were red, everything else was gray or brown, probably it's related to shaders.

I have never tested those games but dead space and pes 2012 surely work on my phone smoothly

Your RAM must be low that's why the black screen thing must be happening. Anyways, i tried gta 3 and fifa 10 in mine, gta 3 didn't work but fifa's working fine. Another thing, try to run the games in flight mode too.

Each game has its own procedure for running. Try this blog, and follow the procedure given there. http://galaxyy.tk/ i have tried many games and was working without any problem.

Football Manager Handheld won't work on a Galaxy Y - the devices screen is below the minimum resolution required by the game presently; sorry.
(the GooglePlay store will automatically block attempts to purchase on that device - so I presume you didn't get it from there?)

Still pretty new to the Note 2 and Android and I need some apps.

1- Shooting Games
2- Any app that you think is cool or worth mentioning.

Tasker. The app that automates your phone. Takes a while to learn and more expensive than most apps but you can do so much with it.

Sketchit very good game for our stylus.

Titanium Backup Pro....
I just keep finding more and more uses for it. ... Now I could never live without it...
Sent from my Giant i317 Pocket Monster!

Here's the list of apps that I've become quite fond of (besides the usual - Facebook, Twitter, etc.):
Shazam - Need to know what a song is quick? Shazam will find out for you.
TuneIn Radio Pro - Music junkie? Enjoy streaming radio? This app is great to have.
Dropbox - Useful for transferring files between your phone, computer, or other devices wirelessly.
Google Drive - Documents/Storage on the Go
Pixlr Express - Photo editing (filters, effects, adjustments, you name it).
SketchBook Mobile - advanced drawing capabilities on your phone - layers, different brushes/sizes/full color palette, really fun to use.
Osmos HD - Absorb the lifeforms around you and avoid being absorbed. Great time waster.
Ski Safari - Beat the avalanche, collect coins, pull off stunts and earn achievements. Another great time waster.
(Note: A few of these apps aren't free. For SketchBook, there's an express version, and there's a demo of Osmos HD.)

Here are some cool ones:
TeamViewer - Awesome for remoting into your desktop. Only thing is, you have to install the app on your desktop, too.
aCar - Want to keep track of your gas mileage and other services? I have not seen a better app on Android for that purpose.
Waze - Ok, may not always provide the best route, but it does a good job of getting you from A to B and letting you know of things that might be along your way...like cops, traffic, etc.
Tip Me (Tip Calculator) - Self explanatory.
Productivity?
Evernote - I guess you wouldn't need this as much if you're using S-note, but it's a great note taking app that syncs across all platforms.
Kingsoft Office - Some of the paid office apps are better IMO, but this one is free.
Adobe Reader - If you want to read PDF's, this is the app to use. The interface is simply the best for reading PDFs. Came in handy many times when needing to look at a service manual while working on my bikes.
Shooting Game?
Critical Strike Portable - Were you a Counter-Strike fan? Well, this game really is Counter-Strike ported to Android.
Time Killing Games?
Angry Birds - this is a given...
World of Goo - not free, but a very interesting game. Not only is it a time killer, but it's also a puzzle game.
Well, these are the ones I can think of at the moment...

I'm 51 and brand new to Android coming from an old iPhone 3gs. I use both a MacBook as well as PC running W8. I got a lot of Google Play gift cards from Santa so I've been having quite a bit of fun.
At the prompting of a 16yr old friend I rooted my phone with CleanROM SE 1.0 which is running like a champ.
Stuff I use all the time.
Nova Prime - already purchased before installing CleanROM
Zedge - yeah nuff said
Airdroid - wifi connection to my macbook and the only solid way I've been able to get the phone and osx to communicate.
ASTRO File
TuneSync
Titanium Backup
Juice Defender
QR Droid
Pocket
BeyondPod
MailDroid - best replacement I've found for apple mail.
HD Widgets
Fun stuff
Angry Birds
Paper Camera
HD Panorama
Pixlr Express

For a twitter client, I really like Slices for Twitter. It lets you group people you follow into slices so you can view only tweets from a particular group of people. Makes managing lots of twitter follows much easier!

MOD] (NEW/UPDATED+Moga) Add even more apps to play store + list of working apps

This is a Mod that I have used on the Galaxy S4 but I have an HTC One and can verify it works on both.
THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THE CIRRECT MULTI DPI PLAY STORE FOR YOUR FIRMWARE. (IF YOUR ON 4.1.2 OR 4.2.2 MAKE SURE YOU PICK THE CORRECT DOWNLOAD)
I just wanted to start a topic on tegra 3 and other games that work on the HTC One. Last night I did a little testing with a few Tegra games on the HTC One that are not in the play store on the device that worked.
(Update) To find almost all games in Play Store follow thes 8 steps Carefully.
(I AM NOT RESPONSABLE IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE OR MESS YOUR PHONE UP. TAKE YOUR TIME)
1. Download this file. (Its used for another fix but helps us also
Multi Dpi Play Store for 4.1.2:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/3Gnxyxla/Multi_DPI_Play_Store_v416_for_.htm
Multi DPI Play Store for 4.2.2
http://www.4shared.com/zip/66jo-mIz/Multi_DPI_Play_Store_416_for_J.html
2. Move zip file to internal SD Card
3. Reboot into revovery and flash Multi DPI Play store.zip with CWM or whatever flashing tool you use besides the stock then reboot.
4. Download ES File Explorer.
5. Hit menu and then "Root Explorer"
6. Hit "Mount R/W" (I just mount all 4 and press ok)
7. Now go back to main screen and tap the top bar and pick "Device" (so yoyur not searching the Sd the actual "Device" partition for system files.)
8. Look at the folders displayed below and tap the one that says "System"
9. Tap/Open the "build.prop" file with a text editor of your choice.
10. Change the line that says:
(ORIGINAL)
ro.product.device=..............
(The ... stands for whatever your device is. Its different for every one so I just put .... as an example)
(NEW/CHANGE TO **Only use one of these and dont copy whats in brackets**)
ro.product.device=softwin (Fakes JXD S7300b)(Recommended)
ro.product.device=olympus (Fakes Motorola Atrix)
ro.product.device=d2att (Fakes Samsung Galaxy S3 on att)
ro.product.device=grouper (Fakes Nexus 7 Tablet)
ro.product.device=tf300t (Fakes Asus Transformer Pad)
ro.product.device=GT-P7500 (Fakes Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1)
ro.product.device=maguro (Fakes Samsung Galaxy Nexus)
ro.product.device=tf201 (Fakes Asus Transformer Prime)
(Make sure you change what comes after the equals sign to "softwin/olympus/d2att/etc" no spaces)
11. Save, restart your phone.
12. Go to Aplication Manager in your settings. Clear data for Google Play Store.
FINALLY check the Play Store for a ton of new apps. Give it a few minutes to add the new apps well your searching. Takes a few minutes to see the changes and new apps!!!!!!!!!
ENJOY AND REPORT BACK IF THIS HELPS
So far ive found out that:
The Dark Knight Rises = Workes perfect so far. Great graphics.
(New) Dead Trigger = Working good no issues ive notice. Still trying it out but seems really good and fast loading.
(New) Gangstar Rio = Running perfect.
(New) Samurai II Vengeance = Working good, no issues as of yet.
(New) N.O.V.A 3 = Runs amazing havent had any issues.
(New) Wild Blood = Works fine. No issues at all.
(New)The Amazing Spider-Man = Working good. To bad drawing distance wasnt increased for the game seeing as the HTC One has so much ram
(New) Rayman Jungle Run = Works great no issues. Looks nice on the HTC One.
Real Boxing = NOT WORKING. The fighters did not show in the menu when choosing fighters for the match. Black screen once in the fight but you can get into the game and navagate menus to a fight. Might be the apk/sd data I was using not to sure more testing soon.
9mm = NOT WORKING. Non compatible message. Still trying different versions.
NBA Jam = NOT WORKING.
Wanted to add to the list Tegra games that can be bought in the app store (just for reference):
Riptide GP = Works great. Max out graphics settings in options for water splashed on screen, better waves and all around better graphics.
I know theres more in the Play Store just cant remember right this second.
Anyone who has tested Tegra games not purchasable and purchasable in the Play Store feel free to add to the list or do your own testing with different app Could be useful later on, obv the HTC One can handle these games.

Yes some of them are all ready there. Those are just apps for compatability saying if they work. There are so many it adds I'm not going to name them all off one by one. I've taken before and after pictures and any can confirm this works. Maybe your the lucky one that sees the apps without it but there's thousands of people who do not. Many Tegra and Gameloft games.
