Gameloft: Nova on the Captivate - Captivate General

FWIW, I just bought the Evo version of Nova from the Gameloft site and sideloaded it. It's *seriously* awesome and I saw nary a problem playing through the first two levels. I'd say it's def worth the $5. If you're bummed about the 1 min connection time for gps in maps, go download this and you'll totally forget it
Oh, and you'll need an SD card in the slot -- it didn't see the massive internal storage as an option for the game data.

nice, thanks for the tip. downloading now.

I should have also noted that the process of getting the game involves Gameloft sending an sms to your phone with the download address. If you just click on this in-phone (the obvious thing to do) you'll be greeted with a message saying ATT has protected you from dangerous things by not allowing it to download -- or some such crap. I dunno if this happens even if you've rooted (I haven't because I'm lazy).
Just type the address into your browser on a computer and it'll download properly. Proceed with the sideload.
Sorry if this is obvious.

Where can I find this game....
Gameloft says phone not recognized... do you have to do it from PC....

Yeah you have to do it from their site and using a computer. Its worth it!

Any one know how their DRM works as far as me flashing my ROM and or getting a new phone and trying to use the same game? Only thing I could find on their site said you had 90days to redownload and that was it.

Thanks. I actually did it from the phone, turned off 3g and it wet to there site.. yes totally worth it. I got hawx. Also and Spartans of whatever. .. good games.
,

You dont need an SD card...the game will install on the internal storage just fine, btw you can install motorola droid/milestone gameloft HD games versions on your captivate, the evo versions are crippled for the qsd82X0 platform.

this is a great game, downloaded installed on internal sd. Thanks for the great find. I guess ill try hawx too
any other badass high quality games you guys can recommend?

So the Droid version will look/play better?

I downloaded Dungeon Hunters on my Captivate yesterday. After two hours of work around and a little google searching it is working great. Def a great game on the Captivate.

Can you post the details on how you got it to work?

Sandstorm Modern combat is another good one. Also hero of sparta

Is your browser user agent set to android? This was my problem, after changing it the page came up and I was able to download.
got the page, my problem was that I was using Miren Browser, doesn't have an 'Android' User Agent to set to in that app...
Now I'm trying to get it to download...must be busy on their servers!
I also wonder if they're going to allow free updates to anyone who gets this download....or are they stopping dev of this game now....hmmm
EDIT:
Nevermind, I have my phone rooted, not sure if that was the problem.....I found an old post saying to install the game, then reboot your phone to get it to run. I fixed my permissions in Rom Manager and rebooted, now the game is downloading the game files. Thanks for letting us know about the free download!

Same here, Nexus One downloads Motorola Milestone version but it has SMS read/send permissions!!!!!
I will be avoiding this, choose to download other HTC build (which are Motorola Droid) and have no SMS permissions
Well it installed on my Nexus One now I am downloading the 241MB. It does have app2SD but still leaves 7MB on internal storage.

thanks for the correction there I have an epic 4g and it works fine on it.
Thanks for the tip, I grabbed it. Only spent about 10 minutes in it (past the 250m download) but it's pretty cool. It will probably get too hard and I'll die continuously like most games I play, but..
For those having trouble, try the link in their tweet: http://j.mp/hV584b
Pick your country, carrier, phone. I have an N1 and picked the Incredible and it works fine. Yeah, don't like the SMS permissions either, but..
BTW, the company is giving out something every day until Christmas, so follow them on Twitter, or just watch their Tweets.

I went with 800m on my 8G card.. Figured that's more than enough, and it is.. I have a ton of stuff installed and it's 560M free.
BTW guys, maybe most games work like this, but there's no saving during a level. Gotta wait until you start a new level to exit, or you start over at the last level you started. Kinda annoying. If I gotta stop playing, I gotta stop.. Oh well.
what version to use with htc g2? the desire/bravo ?
same question as the post above me. I also have a G2 (stock) and its not working. I get the message "Sorry, but there are no available game for you mobile".
I selected the Galaxy S version and it installed and plays perfectly on my MyTouch 4G. I'm not sure if it matters which version you select at this point in time.

Modern combat 2

I saw this game in the market, looks awesome, but I read a review that it's incompatible with the g2x. My question is, does modern combat 2 work on this phone. I really want to buy it.Thanks.

I tried buying out from the game loft site but had technical difficulties so I just bought our from the market.any way it works although I bought out because of the gyro controls.how am io suppose to enable it?
i would suggest anyone looking for gameloft titles to go the gameloft.com FROM YOUR PHONE. you can 1)charge to your phone bill 2) there's a buy one get one free sale 3) if you buy via the sale... they're cheaper than buying regular (ie.. buy NOVA standalone is 4.99.. purchase on sale it's 2.99 PLUS a free game). I spet 12 bux and got a ton of great games that all work on the g2x. BUY THESE GAMES. Support gameloft so they can stop being punks and GO INTO THE MARKET FULLY.
<<< now awaiting the arrival of Order and Choas and 9mm. My days are getting longer...

That sounds great and all........but what about for us addicted with flashing ROMs. My experience with Gameloft.com in the past, is as soon as I switched ROMs I could no longer use the game because it was purchased under the previous ROM. I don't know if things changed, but it seemed Gameloft used to have their games on lock down pretty well before. If things have changed and we can use the same .apk throughout multiple ROM swithches, then sweet I'll be all over it. So let me know if anyone has tried purchasing these games off of Gameloft.com and tried using them after flashing different ROMs.
I use titanium backup to restore em.. no problems what so ever chief. I just flashed back from CM7 (2.3) to stock today.. picked up right where I left off.
Also make sure you keep you're APKs in case you need to reinstall. secondly.. i read somewhere yesterday (and tested it) Gameloft lets you redownload apps as long as you can log back in.

Sweetness!!! That sounds awesome. Guess now that I think about it I never used TiBu in the past to restore my games because I used to have problems in the past. This was from my N1 times. LOL! Ok, though, thanks a lot for your response, that's exactly what I wanted to hear.
just remember if you switch from stock to cm you have to copy the gameloft directory over. (needs to be on external sd for CM7 and internal memory for stock).
EDIT: also.. i tried downloading some games I purchased on my G2 and got a "this is not an orginal.. bla bla bla" error. Hopefully they're working on it.. doesn't look like "cross device" installs will work. they're still device specific.. but cross roms is works with titanium
yea btate sometimes when i switch roms i go to titanium to restore some of my games n i get the error ur talkin about
really? that's odd.. i just flashed CM7 again and restored via titan and all is peachy (wanted to fact check so I didn't mislead anyone). However reinstalling with the APK.. that's a problem. Titanium solved that issue for me.
which games were you trying to run? i darn near have them all so maybe that issue could be game specific? (i didn't run each one. just spot checked 2 of them)
Also.. make sure you're copying your gameloft directory to the right place.

Ah ok good stuff. Yeah I remember the games always making a Gameloft directory folder on the external sd. I'll remember to copy it over. Right now I'm on EB1.0.4FR, so I'm still pretty much on stock ROM. But yeah, I can understand when you try to play a game you downloaded for a previous model phone on your new phone that it gives you that bullcrap error. BAH!!! Oh well! Hopefully they fix it, but I won't get my hopes up. LOL!
nova and nfs shift and sometimes it says something about a copy???
were they originally purchased on the G2X? like i said.. i can't get any of the games I purchased on other hardware to run.. but I can anything I purchased on teh G2X over different roms... at least starfront is working. I am starting to have a sinking feeling that I should just insert foot to mouth. i'm going to switch back to stock momentarily and double check this. oy vey.

This is why I refuse to buy games from Gameloft.
just confirmed. starfront DEFINITELY works across different roms. restored from backup on CM7... played fine.. just went back to a nandoid stock rom.. playing now.. picked up right where I left off. mileage varies i guess
well.. going forward, theoretically the ones you guy from the market should work accross devices.. which is why i'm suggesting everyone support and show gameloft YO.. GET YOUR BEHIND IN THE MARKET! maybe my thinking is backwards.. but I want gameloft to know that the android community supports them and we're willing to pay if they get off their behinds with that awesome catalogue of games.

No gameloft games?

Is it me, or is ATT blocking gamesloft games?

Well, before i rooted i went to gameloft.com and it said, "sorry, your device is not supported." Now that ive flashed a rom, and my device lists as a desire hd, BEHOLD! I can buy them now... Explain that one geniuses
One word, genius: Sideloading. AT&T phones can't do it, Gameloft's website requires it, end of story.
I used my stock browser in mobile mode. Go to Google.com search for gameloft. Click the android link under the first result. Find the game you want, and buy then download it. If you do not have sideloading enabled yet, you have to hook the phone to the computer. Go through your sd card under downloads, your game .apk should be there. Now copy it to your computer hard drive, and use sideload wonder machine to install it on the phone. This worked for me, I now have Lets Golf 2, and GT Racing Motor Academy. If you don't have sideload wonder machine, google it. It was very easy to do with full instructions, and worked beautifully.

Comes up in the market for me. The tegra games don't but I think you need the tegra zone deal. If your looking for blocked apps on the market just enable airplane mode, enable WiFi only and search away.. used to work anyway.
Modern combat 2 is a bad ass game, definetly recommend it. I am hooked on that tegra pinball game though, **** is sick. Samurai 2 is fun but tedious to me. Just my. 02

I'da done that either way . Seriously, probably the best way to get the Gameloft games without rooting and having Sideloading enabled is probably the method posted earlier with the sideload wonder machine. That's how I used to get Amazon App Store stuff before I rooted.
That, or root. It's so worth it!

Alright, well thanks for the help, I was really just kinda curious, i was just trying to figure out what it was or if it was what I thought it was.

[Q] Order & Chaos Online officially supported

WELL,
I jumped onto the marketplace this morning to find that order & chaos online is now officially supported on the TF101. So I download it but on bootup it still says the device is unsupported... WHAT GIVES?
I went to get a refund but the app didnt show in 'my apps'.. grrrrr
Ive sent an email to android marketplace but no response yet. I called Gameloft who confirmed that there is still no support for this device.
Has anyone else come across this?
NOVA 2 is also listed as supported but not game to try !!!
dont see it in the marketplace
Not listed here either
Strange. Mine shows on the app and online marketplaces???
It's turned into an interesting fight between google and gameloft in that one suggests the other should provide a refund. Gameloft maintain that their apps are unsold to google thus it becomes their responsibility. Google state that the apps are maintained by gameloft and the marketplace is used more as a vehicle rather than a retailing. Im tending towards googles take.
Anyway, they both suck !!!
I'm not quite sure that it's all about a fight between gameloft and google, because, apps like order & chaos or available for other devices then the TF101.

Order and Chaos can be made to work by using a Titanium backup from another device.
The game runs fine, except once it see's you are on a Transformer it doesn't even try.
The Titanium backup has all of the files needed to run and places them in proper folders and skips the device check.
I have Order and Chaos on my TF and am like a level 6 now (I haven't played in a while because my internet at the hotel is balls)
O&Ch workong on TF =
= Backup of ex. SGS version - Titanium Backup -> Copy 3 files (backup) to TF -> Copy SD cache for ex. SGS version to TF -> Restore backup of O&Ch on TF -> Play the game....
No support for dock...only writting, low preformance on 1,5Ghz ......I deleted this game ...and i'm waiting for version that is optimalizet for tablets with honeycomb.
yeah. Shouldn't have to jump through hoops.
If someone can help me solve this problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216779 we should be able to buy it directly from market + get updates/etc and buy other gameloft games too. (As long as they don't check for IMEI number, which we don't have for obvious reasons)
samsung GT-I9100 has Geforce GPU module inside it's CPU that is same(similar/compatible ?) to the one we have in our tegra cpus.

gt racing motor academy??

has anyone got this to work on the transformer?
saw it on the iPad and it looked awesome.
i have it running on my vibrant but i want to take advantage of the Tegra 2 on this larger screen.
every time i start it it just close. no force close, no error that my device isnt supported, just closes.
very unfortunate.
That's probably because the version released to the market is not compatible....
Go to The Market on your Transformer and it's not listed.
Go to The Market on your PC and your Transformer is not listed as compatible.
So, I don't know how you even managed to download it, let alone install it in the first place?
i downloaded it since its a free app on my samsung vibrant and then grabbed the APK and side loaded it onto the transformer. you can also download the free APK using google as well.
there are a lot of games that are not listed as :compatible: but still work on the tablets and transformer as well but for many reaons are not in the market for the device.
thats why i decided to try this game on the tablet but now see it really doesnt work.
i figured other people are working hard to get other games to work on the trnsformer such as the spider man game etc so why not ask about this one?
looks like i got my answer though, thanks
