[Q] Help with full screen apps - G Tablet General

Okay..hoping someone can help me with this. I'm running the Zpad .3 rom, and can't get some games to run full screen. It DID work with the CWB2 firmware..but just doesn't with this one. Even tried the Galaxy full screen trick with Spare parts to no avail..anyone have any other suggestions?

The same games ran in CMB2, but not zpad? I just assumed that some games supported certain resolutions or scaling, and some didn't.
It seems like all the ones i have tried have at least scaled up poorly to fullscreen with the spare parts trick.

The one in particular that comes to mind is uno, but it would be nice to run asphalt5 full screen as well. Uno did run fullcsreen with cwb2... just wont scale under zpad. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling spare parts to no avail...any other thoughts?

There is a 'Zoom' Feature in the zPAD ROM... In settings-display-application zoom setting, it will allow you to select which apps it will 'try' to zoom for you.
Hope it works out.

That was what worked in cwb2, but I don't see that option in zpad. 3
Can anyone else confirm, and does it exist in the new rom?

Psx4droid

So psx4droid is finally out, how is it working for you? I have rooted htc evo using newest fresh rom and custom god mode kernal with 60fps hack and espon 003 screen. I have tried three games and they start up then fail miserably...can the evo cut it for psx? Anyone having better luck? What settings ,rom, kernal, phone, and screen?
Because this thread wasn't 5 threads from the top.
Must have missed it, been googling it all morning for evo users and found nothing.
Very frustrating that the market doesn't allow me to buy it b/c it's stuck on authorizing. I purchased it through SlideMe and now I can't find the app and don't know where it went. So annoying I hope it doesn't charge me for it again .
Download it on a good 3G area not through wi-fi that's what did it for me.
Now my problem is the Roms aren't working!

Not to mean to hijack your thread, but what is this 60 fps kernal you wrote about? I can't seem to find it.
I love this emulator. It runs PSX games fast on my phone for sure. I have Worms Armageddon working perfectly. Tried running Theme Hospital and Madden 03 and 05 but neither worked. They get stuck at the EA Sports screen. Anyone know of any options to get it working or is it probably just a compatibility issue with that rom? I would assume compatibility but never know.
It runs SOME games fast. FF7 for sure. Chrono Cross is... like... kinda okay. Most games I've tried are unplayable either due to speed, sound, or aren't compatible with the emulator.
****. The one game I expected to run well is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. It's a side-scroller and it runs slower than FF7

Yeah, what kernel are you referring to? Are you talking about netarchy-toastmod 3.7.5? That is the latest to my knowledge, and 60fps is a bit of a reach.
Or am I missing a bona-fide 60fps kernel for epson screens?
Anyone?

CyanogenMod has no FPS limit.

I have been playing FFVII on it (it runs well). Does anyone know how psx4droid will handle the disc switch?
I ripped the 3 discs seperately (into bin and cue).
Thanks.
I get your point, but cyanogenmod must have a limit.
yeah toasts but i have been switching back and forth through both cr1 as well trying all the games but some of the eboots have built in fps checker and have at some points been hitting 60 fps up to 64 on both if im lucky and close all apps first and this thread was lost because http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735234 was up like 3 minutes before my thread i think so i have just been using that one for psx info and on disk switching just do the save in the game on the disk like not slot save but psx memory card save and then load other disk in emulator and use the save

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.
Thank You

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

Sonic cd using 1/4 of screen on kindle fire?

The controls are were their supposed to be in relation to the screen. However, It only uses the upper right 1/4 of the screen. Is their any way to fix this?
I'm having the same problem, and I was wondering if anyone has any idea how to fix it. The game itself is 100% playable, it just only shows up on a quarter of the screen for some reason. I feel like this shouldn't be difficult to fix, and if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

I've searched this issue quite a few times, and this thread is all that comes up. I have the same problem, but I'm actually running CM7. I suppose it could be an issue with the app though...
Hey, I found a working solution in the Nook Color forums. The problem is that the app can't run fullscreen because of the notification bar. So if you can disable the notification bar then it'll run fullscreen.
In CM7, go to Cyanogen Mod settings, tablet settings, and uncheck disable fullscreen. If you're not running CM7 I don't know where the option is, or if it's even possible.

Has anyone figured out how to get it working in the standard Kindle ROM? Right now I'm happy running the stock ROM with the Android Market and GoLauncherEX, and I wasn't planning to switch to CM until the Kindle version of CM9 is stable.
Bump. I'm thinking about installing MoDaCo rom, and am wondering if it would let me run Sonic CD at full screen to alleviate this issue. This is the thread about the rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916
I wanted to post in that thread, but I'm too much of a noob to have the permission haha. I've been hoping to stay with a rooted stock rom until CM9 is finished, but may move to MoDaCo as the best stock-style experience until it's finished.
I have the same problem with gameloft's UNO and NOVA games. They play on the top center of the screen. I have tried MIUI and CM9 and neither fix the problem. Hope there will be a fix soon.
UNO worked fine on stock... There is a specific KF version of it on the Amazon App Store. Sonic CD works fine on CM9 too...

same problem but with samsung s4 mini
I have the same exact problem with samsung galaxy s4 mini, which is weird because the demo version, 'sonic cd lite' is running perfectly. Can anyone help me with that? my current android version is 4.2.2 .. 4.3 updaye is still not available in my region so I wish if there is a solution that isnt to update my operating system. Considering the demo runs just fine their must be a solution. This is the only forum I found even remotely talking about this topic, only it's on kindle rather than samsung.
I contacted awga customer support. They where very unhelpful. Suggesting meaningless tips lile hardcresetting my phone and reinstalling the game.. which I did. Are there any tips regarding why it isnt running full screen on samsung s4 mini running on android 4.2.2?

Camera360 and Samsung Skyrocket...Bad Combo

Hey all,
I have tested every single third-party camera app out there and I personally found Camera 360 to be the best. Vignette runs perfectly on this phone but I honestly hate it. I don't see why people like this replacement so much.
Anyways,
I have used Camera360 a few days now and have tried really hard to get it stable. It simply isn't. It crashes constantly at any point during every single launch and use. And forget it if you happen to get a notification of any type! It will instantly crash and freeze the screen with error. Doesn't matter what type of app is sending the notification. It happens every single time.
I really love this Camera app as a replacement to the default app. Has many cool features. However, wondering if anyone with this phone has gotten it to work 100% stable?
I've tried everything and applied a number of changes and/or tweaks I found online but none help. After it crashes, if I go in and delete the cache from the application and launch it again, it work a bit better and much longer before it eventually locks up my phone again.
Any tips to get this working would be great!
Thanks!

camera360 works perfectly on mine......ive always loved the app
GS2 LTE
SkyRocketICS6.9.1
faux kernal 2.6.35.14
kr3g3r,
Thanks for the comments. Anything special you had to do? Has it EVER crashed on you?
I just don't understand. Why? Well I tested it out when I got the phone, tested it after rooting and tested it again today after so many changes and heavy modification. Still highly unstable. The instant freeze and reboot when a notification comes in is super annoying.
Anyone else have an issue or some suggestions to get this working properly?
Thanks,
--mike
I also have no problems with Camera360, I just installed it and used it, didn't have any special config. Using TPC v3 on Rogers S2 LTE.
Total noob question, Camera 360 Ultimate?
For some reason I thought it was a paid app, if it's free I am in.
djtyres,
It is actually completely free!
The reason I posted this is because I did try all other options, including all the paid apps. I found this one to be the best.
Man, I wish it wasn't so damn unstable.
I am hoping that someone here can provide some sort of solution.

Did you try deleting and reinstalling the app? Camera360 runs perfectly on my Skyrocket (stock). Also, are you running if from the internal memory or have you moved it to the microSD card? And where is your default picture folder?
Hi Budge,
Yep...trust me...I have done everything. I uninstalled the app and went into all directories (I'm rooted) and found every single trace of it, including cache, and deleted everything. I then rebooted and re-installed. It was working fine for about 5 minutes and then it crashed again.
After some research, I found some who stated to go into app management and clear the cache. I did that and it still crashed.
As far as your other questions...
I install all my apps on internal memory only. I tried it with the default directory and with a custom path to the external SD card...still no luck man. It really is upsetting, considering just how many hours I have spent trying to fix this. That should tell you how much I really was impressed with it.

Thanks, already playing with it, had 2 crashes but only when I was messing with settings.
Crash...
LOL! See, I told ya so. I just can't figure it out.
Keep me posted...I'm curious as to how well it works for you.
If possible and you have some free time, test it the following way...
Load the app and start fiddling with all menus and all available features. In the process of doing this, take a few pictures with the new settings you chose and preview it and then go back quickly to main app and keep messing with it. Wondering if that will make it crash with you? As I stated, a very quick and simple test is to send yourself a notification of some sort (SMS, Email, App sync, etc.). Let me know if it survives! Notifications I have have both a ringtone and set to always vibrate.

I really like this app, been using it over a year now. Still running it on my SR with no issues. I'm rooted and running Sky ICS right now with Faux's kernel.
I see you have done a lot of clearing caches and this and that.... but have you tried fixing permissions thru Rom Manager? Every rom I flash, I make sure the first thing I do when the phone settles in, is fix permissions. Fixing permissions almost always solves any force close or crashing issues I may have. Even if I download a new app, I fix permissions to be safe. If you haven't tried this yet, hope it helps. Good luck....
yeah fixing permissions and clearing caches properly makes a huge difference when you flash anything.........but not just clearing caches in the app.....in CWM
also.......are you running any camera mods? and which rom?......or are ya stock?
Mine works as long as I do not change brightness.
The camera mods is a good thing to look into. I may be running ics camera apk

Hi,
Thanks for the info...
Yes, I've tried that on occasion. Do you do it from CWM? Or do you fix permissions on the individual app itself? I've done this through ROM Toolbox.
The think is I do not run custom ROMs. I have stock ROM modified and rooted to my liking. No custom Kernel either.
Camera360 is excellent on this phone....I use it as default...unless I want a specific metering....camera360 crashes on me when trying to choose metering...otherwise it works perfect...and the results are better than stock....one big bonus with camera360 is being able to choose ISO50 where stock app only lets you choose ISO100 as the lowest. And the ISO50 setting clearly works.

Damn, that comment didn't help much! LOL. I really want to get it working man. I think I have installed it over 10 times now. Still not stable. Also, any notification will freeze and crash the app. Does it run for you even after some kind of notification in background??
Also, curious why you would use ISO 50 with this camera though?

Lower ISO settings is best for when you already have plenty of light entering your sensor. You would use a higher ISO in low light conditions to make your sensor more sensitive to light thus giving you a faster shutter speed to help prevent blur. The trade off to a higher ISO is more noise in your image...the lower the ISO the less noise in your image but also a slower shutter speed....which is fine as long as you already have enough light.

[Q]TF700 Getting 1080p in youtube app

This task seems to be absolutely impossible. I have tried close to everything it feels like.
3 different roms, (cyanogen, stock and right now running CROMBi-kk) and still no luck, the 1080p and 480p options just wont show up!
Is there anyone here that has the same issue with their tf700 or is it just me?

2. On. KatKiss Lollipop 5.0.2 they show up on HD clips.
