I tried and it ID's my phone as unsupported. Is there a browser that lets me change the agent to Desire?

Try "about:debug" in the browser (without the quotes), press Go. No page will load, but you'll get extra settings in the Settings Menu. Change useragent to Android.

Good lookin' out, as always, Paul. It's appreciated brotha.

anyone else have it freeze when you try to press the check mark to exit the game?

Thanks for the heads up!
Selected the Desire option and worked for me. I'm using evil's sense rom.

Anyone else know why the game needs permission to EDIT/READ your SMS'?
Really seemed dodgy at the installation screen.

Played for a bit last night after a nice discussion with ebay and their great systems, but that is another issue heh...
This game is pretty neat for a free game. The game play is pretty good, controls are similar to the ipod/touch controls on the games there.
Kind of funny tho, gameloft tweeted about the free game and when I initially went to download from gameloft.com on the phone, it cost 4.99. I retweeted to them and they said N1's aren't supported/available. I thanked them for the info and went online via PC and downloaded the desire version and had the link sent to me via text, and viola, game on .

For those of you who got the game from GameLoft. I'd be wary.
The installation permission requires that you allow it to edit/read your sms'.
Wth does a game need to edit or read my sms' for? I've got like 110 apps installed and none of 'em require this permission.

Probably to verify that your phone matches the sms link that they sent you.

New Market working on GTab

FYI, got the new market working on my gtab. I used the update.zip found in the Nexus forums.

Wow... It looks like it was redesigned for landscape screens... Like tablets. I like it. Was the update automatic?

I had to apply the update

Sorry, I think I misunderstood- you were asking the same question. Me duh.

I have not done the Build.prop edit and I can find everything I search for, but after I update I had to do the basic market fix again.
Also I used the update file and flashed with clockwork mod

Nice interface, but not the full market. Games like Tank Hero and other apps still do not show up.
Update:
Seems the graphics are broken, since stars for apps are cut off and no button options to actually update the apps.
Something is wrong with this app in relation to the Gtablet and at least TnT 2.20.
Looks like I will be restoring with clockwork, since this app appears borked as far as interface.
Did you folks actually try to update or download an app?
Update 2:
OK, the tiny cut-off line above the uninstall icon bar is what you press. Just have to be precise to press it, but it works. Press it twice.

Confirmed, couldn't find Tank Hero though it shows up on a search. To be honest, I'm not sure if it showed up prior to me updating the market. Was that game available on the original market fix? I'll try applying the market hack to see if there's any difference, but so far all the apps I've looked for have been able to be downloaded. May pull the trigger on Pinball Ride as I'm hooked on that game. Since I just did an update, all my apps remained so I haven't had to reinstall any.
I've downloaded quite a few apps. D/L'd about 4 screenshot apps til i realized they don't work on the tab.

Backstab HD on xperia play

Is anyone else having problems with backstab hd. I can install the game and the welcome film clip starts. Then the screen goes black and goes back to my home screen :-/
Any help ??
Sent from my R800i using XDA Premium App

hmm, have you tried after that happens holding the home key and then relaunching it that way?
i know that sorts the Modern Combat fail launch
im still waiting on gameloft sending me a download link for Backstab.

I just tried it but didnt work ??

thnx for the info about modern combat 2
i couldnt get it to work for days
so why can u launch it that way then and not normal?

I purchased Modern Combat 2 and then needed to redownload it.
It was removed from the market so I called Gameloft and they gave me Backstab. I just tried it and it worked for me.
You should also get Spiderman. It is awesome.

The same thing happens to me with BackStab HD.

finally got Backstab, the only problem i have with it is that it makes me watch the startup video each time, like i cant skip it. pressing circle just pauses it and brings me back to homescreen then it continues when i launch the game again.
annoying, putting me off playing it lol.

Instead of skipping I tried watching it and it still closed after the video was done?

To skip it you need to tap on the screen then a little "forward" button comes up. then click that

I have tried everything in this thread and it still closes. I even watched the whole video when it is done it just closes.

I have got into the same issue as you with backstab.
I read somewhere that this problem may be the activation of the game. For the activation mechanism you must have an Internet connection on your mobilephone at the first start of the game.
I first started the game without an internet connection, so i had the same problem as you. The only thing I could do, was to reinstall backstab and to redownload the SD data. Then I started the game with an Internet connection. After the skip or end of the video, I had to wait 10 seconds before the progress bar appears.
This solved that issue for me.

Hmm I see it as well it is in the xperia play app/ game launcher.

I know this is a really old thread, but i didnt want to open a new one just for this.
I bought backstab from gameloft and when i opened it, it came up with a message saying "this game is incompatible with your device. Please request a refund"?
Why am i getting this, is anybody else getting this?
I have a R800i on 2.3.4 in the UK
Can anybody help?
Thanks

What version you use? Try older version if you can find or have your device using custom kernel.

Quake 3 for Xperia Play!!

Oops I first put this in general, but it seems more appropriate here:
Quake 3 for Xperia Play
A version of Kwaak3 specifically for Xperia Play phones has been released on the Android Market!!!
This means that we can play games like Quake 3 and Open arena on our devices!
It's called Zeus Arena, it doesn't show up on the launcher atm but you can find it on the android market!

Zeus Arena now shows up on the list of xperia play optmizied games (accessed through the launcher using the little android market button). It hadn't done this for me until yesterday, how about anybody else?

have anyone tested it?

just got it to work on my play. It plays really good and it's smooth and has great graphics! And the touch pads works really good to. My new favorite fps game on play.
now, apparently, Quake 3 isn't the only game that works with Zeus Arena, does someone knows which game does?

It may work with other games based on the quake 3 engine.

I wonder if it would work with Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory... That was my favorite Q3 engined game.

Please...try to find some mods that work with zeus arena. I don't want to play a multiplayer competitive FPS on my phone....a single player experience would be perfect on this engine!

I have done this, but it doesn't seem to work, I put the correct files on the sd card, and downloaded and installed the app from the market, but yet, when i click run the game it just flicks back to the menu, same with when i click run benchmark, nothing happens...

I believe you can you manually change or add it in your Q3 cfg file.
Something like:

[TRICK] [GAMELOFT HD GAMES] make it PLAYABLE on ARMv6 DEVICES ~

This TRICK is not only for LG P500 but for ALL ARMv6 DEVICES !!!
before you install any Gameloft HD Games' go to system/ mount as R/W look for build.prop EDIT.
look for this line below.. (it depends on your device)
ro.product.model=LG-P500
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
change it to.. .
ro.product.model=HTC-Desire
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
save and reboot.. .
now install the game put the cache file to the right directory gameloft/games
• highly recommended to get the SD CACHE for ARMv6 (HVGA) instead of letting the game download the cache needed (After legally purchasing the game)
• just make sure that you downloaded the right APK which is for ARMv6 (HVGA Screen) not for TEGRA2* NVIDIA* PowerVR* ADRENO* Etc.. .
• •PLEASE POST A COMMENT IF THIS METHOD IS WORKING ON YOUR SIDE OR NOT • •
-------------------------------------------------------------------​PROOF THAT IT WORKS !!!

I'd like to know that aswell.

Sorry, but first - Desire is Armv7, second - it's WVGA. This means that even if the game installs it won't run properly.
There is a site where many games are being ported for Optimus One and similar devices. I can't name it (Forum rules), but i'll give you a hint - it is russian.

games like NOVA2' Eternal Legacy' Sandstorm' Gangstar WestCoast' The Settlers and other HD Games .. .
yeah i know that Desire is ARMv7 but the reason why you have to edit the build.prop is to FOOL the installer (APK) to run the game
anyway' im not pushing everyone to do this' im just sharing it

The game may install but it simply won't run. Or if it runs it will download WVGA game data instead of HVGA....
Try it for yourself.

this is one of the great findings... bravo!

Very nice find. Gameloft probarbly thinks Armv6 can't run these games hehe

the game "9mm" looks really nice. anyone got it working?

Omg it works. 9mm works as well it lags but it works
Sent from my HTC-Desire using xda premium

What an amazing find
I was tired of finding modded games for p500 !
Games like avatar, realfootball 11 work hassle free
Previously i used to use chainfire 3d with the PowerVR plugins in order to play these games cause they do NOT seem to fit our screen.
Now all we need is a multitouch fix and none of us need to shell an extra 10k INR for another High End phone.
Cheers Bro.
@Everyone - Just remember that, always download the HVGA sd files/apk

Okay, I appologise, but this only skips device checking, so you still need the right cache and cannot play ARMv7 ONLY games (Newest games, like Asphalt 6). All I said is that ARMv7 ONLY games still won't run and games will still download WVGA Caches. I don't mean to be rude, but you've got me wrong. Doesn't matter. I don't want to argue with you. So I appologise again and give you a thanks.
