That's a good start! It's a really sad state of things that we just have a handful of tablet-optimized apps while iPad had thousands even before it's launch!

The ipad had the same problem as the tab with apps not going full screen, ALL apps should scale properly if it was coded right ie: angry birds looks amazing on the tab and its not even a HD version

Yea, there is a workaround on iPad to make iPhone apps run fullscreen just like we have spare parts! However, I was talking about iPad-specific/optimized apps which are way more way high in number and quality than the ones on the Tab!

It has been out for almost a year tho, after honeycomb is released the market will be flooded with apps. Remember that there are only a handful of android devices running a 7inch+ screen
Games:
Can Knockdown
Crusade of Destiny
Gun Bros
Dink HD (Dink Smallwood)
Dungeon Defenders
Those are what I have on my tab right now, but there were others I didn't keep.

I thought this was about maintaining a list of apps optimized for Tab? Are there actually Tablet optimized versions of all those apps in the OP?

That's why I titled this "compatible & optimized"
I don't think there would be any apps that would be not compatible per-say! It's running Froyo after all and the only issue apps may have, is about scaling which can be taken care of by Spare Parts!

Just because an app works in full screen doesn't mean its compatible. There are a lot of apps that have full screen graphics issues or not all button commands are on point. The purpose of the list is to show the apps that work well on the tab, just install and that's it, no mods. Not to mention there are plenty of apps that don't work well with the galaxy line regardless of 2.2. If you don't like the thread you have the ability to start your own.

Agree with you. I have tried hundreds of apps, and they all work fine!
It'd be more usefull to list apps that DO NOT work fine on the tab
I have installed the gameloft games on the sensation and the games are 1/4 screen to low any else have this issue? Touch spots are in the correct place.
me too
i downloaded nova 2 apk online and had the same issue on the cut scenes but not during gameplay. the gameplay was just laggy and the surrounding were loading correctly. only some titles r compatible with the sensation. its because of the screen resolution.
oh.. well, maybe try purchasing legitimate games from them instead of stealing. the 4 Gameloft games I purchased all work flawlessly
While I can agree with purchasing the games legit. I have to say that gameloft tends to tell me my device is unsupported in the same way that hulu + and netflix do but I should be able to run the apps just fine. So occasionally I have to pursue other means to enjoy the content until it is available to me officially. Yes I understand those apps are free but I am more making the point that support for apps and games need to be updated more regularly. I am more than willing to pay to play...

The screen is off because sensation is supported for it yet. I have 5 gameloft games all from their site and they work perfectly. There's a reason that the tailor the games to each device.

I have many cracked Gameloft games for my HD2. I've tested many of them on the Sensation and either they don't work or don't scale properly. You get what you pay for. I would have bought them for my HD2 but stupid Gameloft would never give me a way even though they ran great.
I use the Gameloft wapstore now and it will tell you the games they support for the Sensation. It's not a massive list but it will grow I'm sure. I bought four games from them so far and enjoying each one.
I have 4 games I've purchased from Gameloft's site through the phone.
all work perfect, to scale.
selection is a bit pitiful but atleast we got SOME games for our phones...
by the way, they are having a 2 for 1 sale with the games being only $3. so basically $1.50 a game.
spend the little money and save yourself the headache of non/incorrectly working pirated APKs.
same for me: warez didn't work or fit the screen properly, so I bought the games once the Sensation was supported at Gameloft wapstore, they all work very well
BTW, if some have the same problem: if I try to go to Gameloft wapstore using WIFI, I get an error message ("too many redirections to load the page").
If I go to the same page connected with 3g, it works! So I buy and dowlload the app using 3g then start wifi fir SD datas.
I have Asphalt 6, NOVA, Rainbow 6, Modern Combat 2.
Make sure they are all HD versions and are for our phone/snapdragon-adreno. They are all full screen, no issues so far.
The only game I had an issue with was Gangstar, it's in full screen but off the edge. My favorite game too..
I use cracked versions of some gameloft games, and they are all full screen. (I agree that we shouldn't use illegal copies but from my country I can't purchase anything from gameloft, also, can't access paid apps on market, so for me it is legal)
thanks
Thanks for the input.
So I just switched from a G2 to a senny, I had 4 gameloft games that I bought from the market. I transfered them but only nova works, order and chaos, modern combat, and asphault 6 all give me the not compatible message.
What do I need to do here? Anyone got a link to an hd version of these games?

Hey everyone,
I thought we should make a thread for 'must have' Note apps!
Not necessarily your favorite apps (there are hundreds of threads for those), but apps that really show off the power of the note.
I'm thinking stuff like:
1) stuff like the most visually impressive/cpu intensive HD games.
2) Apps that have complex layouts/small fonts that really take advantage of the Note's 5.3" screen
3) Apps that take advantage of the stylus.
Also like to hear about any other 'must have' apps too.
To kick this off:
NOled - A notification 'light' substitute since we don't have a notification LED (the only thing I really dislike about the note)
Misc stylus games:
Crayon physics would be a lot of fun with the stylus
I play a couple of picross games, which is kind of a graphical sodoku. The grid is much larger (nemo picross has 25x25 grids). It will be SO nice to be able to see/use the entire 25x25 grid with a stylus - I have big fingers and I normally zoom to only see a 12x12 section or so.
Some RPGs have really tiny text - I play illusia and I really strain to read some of the words on my mytouch 4g.
Hopefully getting the Note soon - looking forward to seeing your recommendations!
- Frank
I'll have lots of recommendations in the coming days, mine arrives tomorrow!
This is difficult.. lol. But I've to mention it because I'm also a fanatic note user. Thumb Keyboard (a keyboard I wrote myself) is really great on this device. In the past I wrote, upon request, a special 5" screen layout for the dell streak and I had a lot of enthusiastic responses. Now I understand why lol.
Btw the keyboard will be updated this week to address the (xtra) high density of the Note. (Now the secondary symbols are way too small)

That is great news, I use your keyboard on my Tab 10.1 and will install it on the Note when it arrives later this week.
status bar expander - expand notification bar widget. might make the note a bit more one handed friendly
Shadowgun works perfectly, SGS II version.
Gt Racing HD (gameloft), Brothers in Arms 2 HD, Diversion, Dungeon Hunter, Splinter Cell and Backstab HD also works. (in some menus are not full screen, but playing full screen without problems)
No moar Powah!, (chainfire) works.
Copilot live works witouth problems.
I use Spare Parts, to fit screen on some apps.
Regards.
I am really glad about chainfire working. Can't wait for my Note to arrive.
Galaxy on Fire 2 THD, Shadowgun Tegra one, Fruit Ninja THD, Samurai II: Vengeance THD, Pinball THD all work great with Chainfire 3d
Apart from these, Riptide HD, Asphal 6, Angry Birds, Doodle Jump, Block Breaker 3, Speed Forge 3D, Air Attack HD, Reckless Racing, Reckless Getaway work quite well. I have more that I got to try.
RS11 doesn't scale on menu, uninstalled before trying game , Starfront Collisions doesn't load so uninstalled as well.
EDIT : PES 2011 works well as well.

Hi n.vasiliu, always good to see an old poster surface again.
Yes, I sold the GTab 7" quite a few months back and purchased an Asus Transformer to replace it.
Since the time of the Tab I've had the original Galaxy S, the Galaxy SII (which I still have) and now the Galaxy Note will be shipping to me today.
So, you may find me popping in and around all those forum section.
Catch you later

Frank,
Have you been using this App for a long time?
The reason I ask is I note there is no trial period for this App or an Adds version.
I'm always weary of purchasing an App when to test it properly it requires longer than the mandatory 15mins which Google now allows.

Is there a decent app for taking notes? The Memo app is great, for simple Memo's, but if you're in a meeting and want to take notes, you need multiple pages, or to at least be able to scroll downwards.
Anyone know of such an app?

S-Memo does the trick for me. Just click the plus button at the bottom right to add another page to the pile. Done!
Ah, well done. I hadn't twigged that's how they worked. Thanks.
If you've been bummed about having Gameloft tell you not once but TWICE that O&C was Xperia PLAY Optimized... then downloaded it only to find that it wasn't... rejoice!
I don't know when they did this because no one's said anything on the Gameloft forums (not even the mods), but while re-installing everything for my fresh new 2.3.4 flash, I re-downloaded O&C from the Gameloft WAP Store, and noticed O&C was showing up in the Xperia PLAY Game Launcher
...of course, I got so excited that I had to see if it was for real... and it is! Video incoming soon.
As a basic rundown, left touchpad controls movement, right touchpad is camera, X button is jump, []/O//\ control your primary functions, L/R toggles the page of functions, select brings up the map, start brings up a quicklist, and the d-pad controls targeting/NPC interaction.
If you bought it from the official Android Market instead of the Gameloft WAP Store, I can't guarantee yours will work right because Gameloft tends to have outdated stuff on the Market.
At any rate, we finally have the best mobile MMORPG playable without crappy virtual controls!

Are you able to see it in your download history ("My Downloads" section on the WAP shop)? If not then just contact Gameloft for the APK. Calling them is a good way to get prompt service, but if you wanna do things via e-mail, they're good about sending the most up-to-date APK for your device (given that you provide proper proof of purchase).
Ha ice cream sandwich. What do you expect from an american....

Thanks for the heads up

Hey so I just seen on this market pretty bad compatibility for a lot of devices it seems, the data download is choppy and the audio is reportedly out of sync for SOME devices other devices just find the game to laggy.
Having tried it myself i find it very choppy Xperia Play controls work fine for me, although other users are reporting problems, this could be down to bad downloads/ custom roms.
Not to mention it's like over a year late, guess its in preparation for episode II

Edit-Played through first level with only one lag spike which didn't really affect me since it was so small... Touchpaxz do not work but the d-pad does and I can't see why you would want the Touchpaxz to work so I'd say buy the game... No idea what's wrong with your version... Maybe try deleting and re downloading the sd data....

Blocked from the market for me. It's saying incompatible with my device.

While Sonic CD was a much bigger deal, this is kind of a big deal for me too... you guys don't know how much I bugged Sega about putting this on PSP (while most games just suck on touch-screens, platformers got the shorter end of the stick by far) and this kinda makes up for it.

Can confirm that it works fine on the Play controls.
I just bought Sonic 4 on my old Droid x and then tried the apk on my Xperia PLAY and I can tell you right now that the controls most certanly work. The menus are all touch but the game itsef supports the controls, not the touchpads but the directional pad works great.
I've been playing it a bit now, and must admit I did find a few bits of lag going on :-( but all the controls work find, and tilting on certain bits is loads of fun!!
I'm not overclocking so maybe if I pop SetCPU up to 1.4 or 1.6 it may stop the lag.

That is interesting... that means Sega was actively working on making this compatible with the Xperia PLAY this whole time.
...that brings me back to why the hell they'd make this any less than fully available day 1. It's not like they couldn't expect us to figure them out.
