Can't play Need for Speed shift

I need help, I purshased the game Need for Speed shift and when I downloaded the entired file to my GSII it tells me my device is not supported. Does it have to do anything with the type of CPU we have on our galaxy sII? Please help.

I bought it when i had the i9000, its never worked when i upgraded to i9100.
The support is none existant, you have wasted your money like the rest of us.
Even the countless negative reviews havnt alerted them to fix it.
EA - poor!

One quick way around is to root and install ChainFire3d and install the necessary plugins <Tegra, Qualcomm> and then installing them and playing the game!
Hope this helps!

Did you download it from the Android Market or from Samsung Apps?? Samsung Apps has it for free but specifically states that it is only for the oringinal SGS1 and not the SGS2.

I downloaded it from the android market and thank you everyone for your support. I feel so bad that I can't install the beloved game my 4 yr. Old loves to play on his ipod, I feel definitely really bad since I paid $749 for my GSII that I can't play a simple high end game like NFS.
Yea I am rooted I will look for that software thank you.

Why on earth would anyone want to play Shift on a phone? You need to play it with a wheel!

Same reason people wan't to watch youtube on the mobile instead of on their HDTV. It's so damn difficult to walk around with a HDTV or a set of wheels for that matter

Makes no sense..
Why even have the mobile if you can talk on a landline?
Why have a car if you can use public transport?
Why go to the football match, when its showing on tv?
Why use internet on your phone when you have it at home?
I could go on...
EA has ripped us all off, and neither them nor google wish to refund everyone!

can you please post the plugins for the necessary plugins so I can download them thank you so much.

Ok, the game is playing fine now, but the only problem is that every like 3 minutes it pauses or turns off completely, so I have to turn the power buttom on my GSII and the game comes back telling me that it has been paused.
Strange every time this happens I see the lock screen, have to unlock the lock screen and then un-pause the game.
Is anyone else having a similar problem like this?

This is a game from madfinger, same people who did samurai II vengeance.
Of course its for Crap2(tegra) devices, so what the hell, lets see if it works with Chainfire3D
And so far its working. Game looks freaking amazing. This is really console like graphics.
No I do not work for madfinger just saying people should check it out. its 4.99 on market however.
Link to android central.
You must have chainfire installed for it to work. Obviously.

You have to use Chainfire3D which hacks the market and your device to think it's a Tegra2 device. It works very well. Search XDA for Chainfire3D

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Thanks for the heads up! Downloading now... I have been playing Galaxy on Fire 2 using Chainfire and its an amazing game. Its free for a bit then $9.99USD to unlock the full game.

Anyone managed to play it with PS3's DualShock? Sixaxis works fine now even on stock, but the only game that played nice was Riptide GP (+ HDMI out = <33333 ).
I can't seem to configure the buttons, although part of the input works (movement is ok, but free look/aiming is not).

Anyone having similar issues as me? I'm running the game via ChainFire3D Pro and loading the nVidea Plugin which starts the game fine.
I'm gotten to the part where you go up some elevator and S.A.R.A tells you about their being some sort of device that you'll need to take out in order to stop your signal from being jammed.
After the elevator gets to the top, you take out a few men in a room, some of those mechanical spider things that run from under the stairs and there's also another soldier on top of those stairs. A mechanical sentry gun also comes out of the ground.
When you walk over to the controls by the big set of doors, you activate them to bring up a loading screen to the next level where the game crashes with an error message that disappears far too quickly to read.
Screenshot below of the section I'm on about, the controls over the opposite side of the room make the level change where the game crashes upon loading.

Yes have EXACTLY the same - 1st level complete & tap to continue, then repeated crashes. The message is the generic 'stopped responding tap to exit' type.
Worked flawlessly throughout the first level, then this.
Any ideas anyone?. Amazed how well the controls work so a bit annoying...

Free look is controlled by the screen as opposed to a stick direction so can it be mapped?

The level with the lobster robot boss, loaded odd, graphics missing, restarted game and all was well again, screen shot shows I'm on level 3 or 4 I think it is, have you got the latest chain fire installed, I'm using the pro version, stock 2.3.5 rom with speed mod kernel

Yup same as that, just redownloaded Chainfire so pretty sure it's latest, and have the Pro version. Also 2.35 stock but with Siyah kernal, maybe I'll try speedmod...

At least with me it was not compatible by default. I had to use CF3D.
Update: Also I can not confirm If CF3D really works since the game content download gets stuck before it even starts.

I finally got to download the resources. Don't ask how because I did nothing, just tried several times (lets say one a day for one week or so).
The thing is it is only working when I have internet connection, which I don't because I am currently abroad...
It's useless for me this game, at least until I get home.

FWIW: Says it's not compatible with my rooted Nook Color using CWM, at 100, 160, or 200 pixel density.

Google really screwed with games
Why don't all games use open GL and why do we have to get a specific version for each terminal, that sucks!
Google shouldn't allow things such as Tegra only games, it's a really bad thing for Android.

How is it a bad thing for Android for game developers to be able to push the most (graphically and performance) for each specific model?
Sent from my GT-I9100

Games should be like those on PC: only one version and you apply the different settings according to your hardware.
On Android it's crazy, it's as if on PC, devellopers would have to release a different version of their games for each different type of graphic card or processor or memory and wouldn't use Direct X, that would be really stupid!
I really despise Tegra only games, if the phone isn't powerfull enough to run the game at full specs, just let the user lower the settings so we can still enjoy the game (much better than no game at all).

I'm guessing you're not rooted yet?
I already heard that USB storage doesn't recognize but that apps can pull it off if the device is rooted.

I have used my Sixaxis with GTA. I have also plugged my other phone in and was able to get adb shell to the other device (which also subsequently was charging as well). USB thumb drives work as well when used with StickMount (found in the market created by one of our own). USB hubs work, powers itself and worked with a USB keyboard, mouse, and the thumb drive.

Edit: Sorry the wii controller works on both n64oid and gameboid, and im assuming every other emulator, you just have to go into Other settings and check the input method option.
Btw what emulators does the Sixaxis ps3 controller work with? The idea of bluetooth + dual analog sticks + awesome build design and a recognizable controller is worth $50 . Does it work with n64oid/gameboid and other emulators? How about just android games, shadowgun maybe?
Edit 2: Played Super smash bros with the wii controller, worked great. Played it with Zelda OoT .. was a f***ing nightmare; virtual controllers are better. (I attached the nunchuck for this game) The deadzone of the analog stick is ridiculous, and you can't use the B button on the controller at all because N64oid (and the other emus) register it as the "Back" button so you cant use your sword at all and all it does is bring up the stupid emulator menu every single time ... I tried remapping the button in the Wii IME app to no avail ... what a pain -.- I hope the PS3 sixaxis works better; it definitely looks better than the nunchuck/controller with the wire and everything ...

USB game controller support was introduced in 3.2 and should be carried over into ICS.
Best solution IMO is the Six axis app and wireless bluetooth. The new six axis app supports virtual screen presses to make it compatible with virtually all android games.

How do you think about this device? I will have a review for this model soon.
Let's talk the review, firmware, root, and other questions in this tread.

Im looking to buy one in the next week or so. I really excited about this device. I look forward to your review! Would this device also run the basic launcher as well as the android kitkat launcher? Thanks

Great video. Thanks so much. Quick question, have you installed plex? Does plex run smoothly? Thanks

root ????
hello is possible root for this model so I have a few days ago and I have not been able to do .thanks and greetings

Streaming TV apps
just few days ago got this device....
No Live Streaming TV app is running on it...tried multiple one (tv tunnel) screen become flicker and doted picture will be on screen.
no idea why it is happening ....

Greetings gentlemen. I'll be buying one of these for myself in the coming days (just waiting for my paycheck), hoping to have it relieve my Raspberry Pi from its current job.
However, my Pi is currently set with Deluge and Flexget so it autodownloads to the respective folders. Could any of you check if installing them is possible on the X-8 Plus? We have some instructions here on how to do it, and when I buy it I will make an attempt anyways, but knowing it in advance would be useful.

What the hell? EVERY other box does at least 1080p...
"**The NEO X8-H Plus only supports standard definition Netflix. Netflix 1080p HD and 4K UHD resolution are not available on any MINIX NEO Series devices."
Thats a BIG bummer

Anyway to root this device and install optware on it ?

You can root the MINIX Neo X8H-Plus using the iRoot application (or it's Chinese language parent, vRoot)
http://www.mgyun.com/m/en
Steps:
1. Turn on Developer mode by clicking on the BUILD entry in the ABOUT section in SETTINGS (click it at least 7 times)
2. Enable USB debugging
3. Install iRoot/vRoot on your PC
4. Connect the Neo X8H-Plus using the OTG cable (microUSB to USB cable included in box) to PC.
(Neo X8H-Plus needs to be connected to a display when doing this; also, a mouse would also be helpful)
5. After PC detects Neo X8H-Plus, run the iRoot/vRoot application and click on the CONNECT DEVICE button.
6. When iRoot/vRoot attempts to connect to your Neo X8H-Plus, a security warning will appear on the display. PERMIT access to the application in order for the iRoot/vRoot application to successfully connect to the Neo X8H-Plus

Greetings gentlemen. I'll be buying one of these for myself in the coming days (just waiting for my paycheck), hoping to have it relieve my Raspberry Pi from its current job.
However, my Pi is currently set with Deluge and Flexget so it autodownloads to the respective folders. Could any of you check if installing them is possible on the X-8 Plus? We have some instructions here on how to do it, and when I buy it I will make an attempt anyways, but knowing it in advance would be useful.

After much tinkering, I was successful in my endeavours. I mostly followed this guide and am now the satisfied owner of a SSH'd with SFTP, Transmission'd and Samba'd X-8Plus.

You can root the MINIX Neo X8H-Plus using the iRoot application (or it's Chinese language parent, vRoot)
http://www.mgyun.com/m/en
Steps:
1. Turn on Developer mode by clicking on the BUILD entry in the ABOUT section in SETTINGS (click it at least 7 times)
2. Enable USB debugging
3. Install iRoot/vRoot on your PC
4. Connect the Neo X8H-Plus using the OTG cable (microUSB to USB cable included in box) to PC.
(Neo X8H-Plus needs to be connected to a display when doing this; also, a mouse would also be helpful)
5. After PC detects Neo X8H-Plus, run the iRoot/vRoot application and click on the CONNECT DEVICE button.
6. When iRoot/vRoot attempts to connect to your Neo X8H-Plus, a security warning will appear on the display. PERMIT access to the application in order for the iRoot/vRoot application to successfully connect to the Neo X8H-Plus
7. Once iRoot/vRoot is connected to your device, click the ROOT button
8. Wait until process is complete
Cheers!

I can attest to it, it was the method I used to root mine. It does install a couple of chinese apps while doing so, but nothing you can't remove after having it rooted.
