Angry Birds Poor Quality?

I noticed Angry Birds doesnt like the Hero...You can still play it but all the landscape is white and there are no animations on the birds like the feathers and such. Is this the same for everybody?
I got to say this game is super addicting lol

Yeah is the Same for me Here. But if you run Sense the program will FC a lot. I'm running CM6 and it runs great.
Currently on the First Level. 3/5

Task something to do with 3d drivers. Like I can run need for speed fine on my hero, but my buddy's vibrant shows up with wall textures white. The opposite of angry birds. Lol

CM6 here as well and no FC's.
I wonder if they will ever have a reworked version that will work on the lower end devices. I have a few buddys at work that want the game but there lower end android devices wont play it.

I am having the same issue in NFX 2.2.1 w/ friendstream, NFX Sprint Stock .7, and CM6 Blackmod.

Whew. Glad I'm not the only one. Android 2.2.1, CyanogenMod 6. Someone please help with this. It makes an already difficult (but really fun) game harder.

That's funny because I played it for four hours straight last night on Nfinite's stock odex and didn't have a single FC.

If I want to go to another ROM, is there anyway to save all Angry Birds Data, All level i have passed?

I was just about to make a new thread about this. I got the game yesterday from getjar.com, and compared to the iphone 3GS, Angry Birds looks and runs like crap on our Hero. I've tried on my NFX stock .7 ROM overclocked to 691, and on my girlfriends completely stock .7, and they both are the same.
Why is this? I've searched youtube and it seems to look and run great on other Android phones. As far as I know, doesn't the Hero have better hardware than the iphone 3GS? Can we expect a patch for this game?

it runs great on my phone. using cm6

Define great. Does it seem super smooth like it's running at 60FPS? Are you getting any missing textures (objects on top of white shapes)? Are all animations/effects present (like feathers exploding from the birds)? Have you seen it running on a 3GS?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-hjAY0XpvE

haha ok i see what you guys are saying, no i hadnt seen it played in the 3gs. Mine doesnt have the textures on the hills either. i thought you guys were having problems with it not operating properly like lag.

I was able to get the APK off getjar, but now I'm trying to find it on the market so i can get updates, and it's not there. any thoughts? even tried QR codes
running CM6 nightly builds.

noticed that yesterday... then got to the second level and cant get any further because I cant tell where there is a whole in the terrain. Disappointing.

Definately runs faster for me in CM6 than it did in Fresh 2.4. I didn't get any FC in Sense either, it was just laggy at times. Still have the texture issues though in both though. Mine was installed from a downloaded apk. I read some in some places that it was available from the market, but I couldn't find it in the market.

Does anyone have other Android phones they could test this on? I'm wondering if its happening only on the hero.

My wife hasnt complained about anything other than not being able to get past a level =) I am guessing her EVO runs it fine.

I'm glad I looked here first. Great game, impossible to see on my HTC Hero. Kinda sucks because I was having fun playing it.

yea, have the same missing textures issue, noticed this phenomenon first with FieldGoal/Rugby by PikPok. (fun time wasters, btw, even with missing textures)

ATTN: Angry Bird Fans

Dunno if its been posted yet but there is an 'Angry Birds Seasons' on the market now.
Dunno the specs, just downloaded it and made sure it opened. There are supposed to be some Halloween and Christmas Themes in there. It looks like you can only play one level a day, like a Christmas calendar countdown.
Oh well, check it out for yourself.
REMEMBER, Mount the SD before you download it from the market!
Enjoy!

Me also. That was the second app I installed after the original AB's.

WOW... that first level is hard. I'm going to have to put on my "beating angry birds" thinking cap. LOL

first level is pretty hard, the 2nd though i did today was pretty easy didnt take me nearly as long as level 1.
only issue is it seems to have replaced my original version of angry birds. i think.

I feel your pain. Having an addictive personality doesn't help either. That and the fact that I can't have my tablet around when my daughter is close either or I'll lose it, THANK GOD FOR THE BATTERY LIFE

I downloaded Angry Birds. When I tried to open the screen was blank,but the music played OK. Any suggestions for the video?

look in the development section. There is a patch you can apply or you can flash to TnT-lite 2.2.0 that has the patch incorporated as well as a LOT of other nice touches (market, gmail, stripped out a lot of the stock TapnTap stuff, etc..).

Just an fyi for all the stock users out there Angry birds work great on the TnT factory updated rom version 1.0.1-3053.I Downloaded it last night through the Handango market with no issues. I have it on my iPhone but man is it so much more addicting on a 10"

Plants vs Zombies HD

Okay I am so addicted to this game, but after the Amazon official app kept freezing on me, i ran into a Tablet Optimized apk of plants vs zombies off google "just google plants vs zombies HD apk" well its noted that a tegra 2 is required to run the game. well afyer sideloading it I was stunned to see the vast improvement in graphics, I was so excited, so then after starting a new adventure, i came to notice all the sprites "Zombies and plants" show up as solid black boxes...... so i want to see if anyone has had sucess running this HD version of the game on their gtabs. ive also noticed this same phenomenon on Vendetta online.. or if anyone knows what is causing the black boxes to show instead of the graphics.... a friend of mine told me to try and install chainfire 3d to lower the detail of the graphics, which does in fact fix the black box issue, but leaves the whole background completely trashed. im stuck. I WANT TO GET THIS GAME TO WORK ON MY GTAB lol

On what ROM?
Sent from my Droid using XDA App

im running it on Cyanogen Mod 7.0.3, i tried it on honeycomb, but would not make it past the lading screen..

I know this is not what you wanna hear, but it only works perfectly on Vegan 5.1.1 stock kernel. I installed that and haven't looked back since. I miss the bells and whistles of Vegan GE but 5.1.1 ain't so bad. In a few days I will probably install Calkulin with the 5.1.1 kernel. There is no chance that it will work on Cya at the moment. You have to learn to accept it.

when i use chainfire 3d, and reduce texture quality, im able to load up the sprites, but makes the backroung all funky, but this makes the game playable... but not enjoyable....

imdaman ur thinking about the official plants vs zombies app from amazon, this is the HD tegra 2 version ripped from a lenovo Lepad i believe.... i tried this on vegan tab rom, and still get the same issue.... in thinking this has to do with our tabs ram being only 512mb instead of 1gb

I had the same problem with this HD version of Plants vs Zombies. The Amazon version was freezing for me as well so I sideloaded this HD version on my Gtab running Vegan 5.1.1. The kicker is this HD version looks great and doesn't freeze, but I can't see the plants and zombies... just black blocks. If you get this HD version working please let us know how you did it.
Also, you may want to post this question in the Apps & Themes section because you may get more responses over there.

load chainfire 3d and install the driver. go into chainfire and check the option to lower texture quality. load plants vs zombies hd and start the game when you see the preview of the zombies starting press the home button. then go into the game again this should cause the background texture to display properly or it will be a black background but when the level actually start the background should pop into place.
this fix seems to work until you go back to the menu then it garbles back up quit out of the game completely and restart to redo the trick

Running fine on Beasty rom http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...-gtablet-beasty-2-2-1-rom-clemsyn-kernel.html.
Dave,

he is talking about the HD version not the amazon verson Dave.

Awesome!!!!! this does the trick, its a little of an annoyance but hey, its working!!! it will hold me off til amazon releases a tablet version

I just had an idea. If the problem is that the GTab doesn't have enough memory, maybe it will help to run a swap file. You know, something like Swapper2 in the Androiod Market. Has anyone ever tried to run Swapper2 on the GTab?

i had the same exact though, but never had success with swapper2, keeps fc

i think it has something to do with the graphic driver because GB dont have a proper on it messes up

Just a note that XDA does not and will not condone the discussion or links to warez apps. This includes games that are hacked to circumvent in-app purchases.

I was unable to play PvZ with most ROMs, but lately I was able to run it with both PacMan and Eclipse ROMs (based on the DRH drivers). PvZ seems to be very CPU hungry, I had to lower my overclocking (from 1.5G down to 1.4G, if I remember corerctly) to avoid crashes

I purchased this a while ago, but why i can't download the data files thru wifi? the progress bar is not moving eventhough i have stable connection. i tried to restart the phone, reinstall the game, reconnect to my wifi, leave it for atleast 2 hours while downloading the data, still no luck..

Its pretty cool so far. I'm on like the 4th level....does it get better throughout the levels?
It could def use some improvements....i hope they patch the game cause it has SUCH a cool premise, but sometimes the action feels slow and boring

deyymmm, i've been downloading the data file for about 24 hrs++ but still the progress bar is not moving.. tsk tsk.

Anyone managed to run it on a ZTE Blade? If yes, in which ROM?
I can't run it on GSF...
Thanks.

Old news is old.
Already posted.

This game is always crashing to me! Anyone with the same problem?

A brilliant game, you'll spend hours with this if you get into it. It's just amazing fun. If it feels slow or nothing is happening, then you're not playing it right. Ram other cars off the road, grab powerups, jump etc to build your score!

Yea this game is awesome.
One of the most fun games imo.
No problems for me. Unrooted 2.3.3 with latest firmware.

requested for a refund. after trying so many days of downloading unfortunately no luck. tsk tsk.

It a very good game, nice mechanics , pretty graphics & very easy to play but it is a little short on levels (finished the game in a couple of hours).
Probably try to master all of the levels when I get time off Minecraft

I have sometimes one or two crash too. Even if i reboot my phone, sometimes it crash and return on my home screen. I'm rooted, v 2.3.2.

You got 4* on all levels in a couple of hours? I don't believe it haha

Way too short.... not enough levels.... needs a survival mode.
I hope they offer an update with more levels.
I don't like how you have to play the level a few times to know where to go to get more stars.

Modern Combat 4 Gamepad opened/closed FPS bug

I realize this should probably go to the General section but sometimes I feel this section gets more notice.
I made a thread at the GameLoft forums, informing them of the bug where if you open the controller before playing the game there are little micro lags. If you open it after the game has loaded then its better but still not as good.
I recently ran a FPS (frames per second) test and saw around 43-45fps with the gamepad closed, when I opened it to play using the touchpads....26-28fps. Still playable but definately not as smooth and fluid.
I would like as many people as possible to post a reply on this thread at GL asking them to update the game to fix this bug, there is no reason for this to go unresolved and yes its still playable but we should be allowed to play it at the best settings while still retaining the gamepad usage.
Link:
http://forum.gameloft.com/index.php/topic,79113.0.html

Thanks for putting this up! I feel the same way. It could be such a beautiful game to play if only there wasn't that glitch! I know this is something that can be fixed and hope they address it in the next update. Please fix this GL! Thanks!
Oh and I tested a full effect modded version and found that with whilst overclocked (1612MHz) the game runs as smooth as butter with my d-pad closed. But when I opened it... Shame there isn't an effects level parameter in the games settings (wishful thinking I know, haha!).

Incredibly as I have said before that version 1.0.0 from the WapShop never had micro lags, well it actually did LATELY, not being solved by closing the gamepad but by turning on the Wi-Fi and it becomes very fluid... even more fluid than NOVA 2.

Only time i noticed that lag was on multiplayer if you're playing online. There it was really laggy with opened gamepad and with closed it was nearly perfect. But on single campaign (if remember right) everything was good.

C'mon guys we need a fix for this game! It's unplayable at the moment. I didn't pay £5 for s**t!

Thank you. I am shocked at how little interest there appears to be in at least asking GL to look into a fix for this. At present my thread at GL has been turned into a thread about V6 supercharger.
Come on people I know GL has a sucky track record at fixing bugs but if we at least voiw our frustrated in this matter and VOICE THIS in the above thread maybe they will do something about it. I'm myself and a couple others are the only ones b!itching on the thread I made then its all for nothing
I am kindly asking/requesting that members of this forum wagon have so voiced their frustrations in other regards please please rise up the occasion again and make our voices/words recognized by GameLoft that they look into fixing this game for our phone. I know this phone is capable of playing this game. I myself get 47-48fps with gamepad closed. But soon as I open the gamepad in the game to play it drops to 26-28. This is clearly a bug in the game.
Pease xperia play users please rise up and create a b!itch storm to GL in the link I posted in post 1. As we all know the squeaky wheel gets the grease

They are a big no caring money making machine, which is sad as if they spent more time to make games right they would have some of the best titles ever made on mobiles. As our devices such small % of their android customer base I very much doubt we be at the top of the list. For example Nova3 has been broke for months in a much more serious way (no hardware button controls) and still no closer at a fix.
I think due to this most people here will be thinking this is like talking to a brick wall, getting gameloft to fix things just does not ever happen. its a shame as really like this game.
We contacted them showing our video and the comments we had =
PS, @all with gamelofts track record I would recommend everyone make a back up of this first 1.0.1 version if ever does get updated as they usually make things worse in updates then make it better

Si I grabbed my unlocked att play and opened the gamepad and started mc4 just now and it ran buttery smooth @ 48fps. But doing the same on my Verizon model it takes the hit. Any ideas why this is the case? Good thing my contract with VZ is almost up and I can switch to the unlocked att model. Also just for the heck of it I bought a new moga controller to mess with for $25

I installed my Wapshop version and the fps is better (instead of 26-29, its 26-32) But still though when I close the gamepad 43-49 fps.
Is it possible for someone to hack this game to figure out the issue and fix it? I know there are MC4 files out in the wild with max graphics modded and or other features.....
Edit: So I want to clarify, those who are saying to open the gamepad before even staring the game, or is it opening the gamepad after your game is loaded and you can play then open the gamepad? I do both and no change for me in frames per second

I think fps dont matter much if the game ran smooth enough for u to play. Either in campaign or mp. Just saying.
I'm curious, how much ram/fps do u really need to run it smooth?? Coz on mine even with below 180mb free ram it ran perfectly. Especially in-game aim-assist feature. To me thats kinda important in this game.
So i'm kinda confuse on why does fps counts bothers u?? Mc4 is not that heavy compare to wild blood. Dont u think??
Regards,
Sdojoin

As I have tested myself, Gameloft Wapshop version 1.0.0 seem to have a different case. Closing/opening the gamepad WON'T affect the game in any way (at least in my case), BUT WI-FI DOES.
The game runs much faster and smoother with Wi-Fi turned on and connected to an active network

In campaign its playable, guess I just want this game to be as smooth as possible, however playing online with either PLAY store version or Wapshop is abysmal... terribly laggy. Its so glitchy I can barely get a kill.......
Guess I will be back on MC3 for my multiplayer fix, and speaking of prior MC games.. isnt there a version of MC2 with the swipe controls like in MC3? The version I have 3.2.8 (I think) and its virtual thumbsticks..... I want to say somewhere I read there was a version that was more like MC3/4... this true?

New MC4 v1.0.2 version out now on google play. Hope it fixes the lag issue. Looks like need to redownload data 1.88gb so hope it's worth it. When finished will report back

Dont forget to take a backup. You remember what happened with Nova 3 right?
Hope I can leave office early today to check the update. I really dont understand why they have not provided a changelog

Great news people!! Looks like they have sorted the lag out in v1.0.2. Have played just one multiplayer game but seams to be so much better and runs smooth. All the controls still work and we still have swipe to look (No rubish virtual pad added thankfully). So is 100% safe to update
