[Q] [GAME] Gameloft Sandstorm and NOVA

has anyone been able to get these games to actually work on their nexus? the gameloft site says that the nexus one isnt supported yet the lesser much crappier phone, moto droid is supported?
im able to install the apk file but when it downloads its additional content Sandstorm gets stuck at 99%, NOVA actually finished its download and said "tap screen to play" so i did then i exits out to adw. so i start it back up again and it wants to download again and its stuck at 99%. my friend can run these games beautifully on his vibrant. is the nexus being forgotten already?!

A gpu problem perhaps? Don't both the droid and the vibrant both have better gpus than the Nexus?

Nova works very fine on my nexus one ..

NOVA works fine on my nexus one, i found a version for the desire

Would you mind linking where you bought it? Or pm me I think its something with the downloaded files it requires. Also what rom are you running? I'm on leofroyo 2.0.0

I got gangstar working.

i'm too
i'm too, i can't play sandstorm, nova on CM 6 RC3

so can anyone tell me how this game gets installed on the n1? i got the apk and downloaded the required files and it gets to "touch screen to launch" then it exits and when i reopen it, it just self exits (takes a ****). also if someone with the desire version tell me if the downloaded files are different than the ones it regularly downloads?

It sounds like you're using a pirated version, in which case, is why it does not work.

no its a legit version, paid for. but it wont run. PERIOD

The OP's symptoms aren't related to pirating it, for the person who asked above.
If you play the pirated version with your radio on, while it's downloading the files or before you even get to the title screen it'll say something similar to "this version of NOVA is not legal." If you're getting to the title screen and it crashes after that, not sure what's causing the problem. Try reinstalling or contacting gameloft? It ran fine on my phone.
by the way, the game plays pretty poorly on the nexus due to how confused the phone gets when using multitouch

Was it bought using your phone, Gameloft uses Googles new verification steps.......
After 24-48 hours it gets validated and then allows the app to fully work.

The demos work alright, although not very multi touch friendly for the Nexus.
You could try downloading the demo and buying it through there.

I downloaded desire version of nova and galaxy s version of sandstorm demos... Both worked great so I purchased both of them from the games main menu and play them both daily

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.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I really want Modern Combat 2. I didn't root, and am running on stock. I'm assuming CM7 is a modified ROM. Would Modern Combat 2 run on stock G2x?

Oh really? But do I have to go to Gameloft.com? I wanna do it from the android market from my phone. Is the one from the market compatible and do you have the game? thanks

Oh yeah I got it. Works great from gameloft.com I didn't buy it from the market because I wanted the free game.
Its a cool game. I also picked up eternal legacy.
Both for 1 price. Gotta love that.

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.

[Q] Order and Chaos (gameloft) ?

Gameloft just released Order and Chaos online for Android and I was wondering if anyone has tried it for Transformer yet?

I just searched for it on the Google and Amazon markets and didn't see it.

it starts then it says:
"your device is not compatible, please request a refund"
edit: just found a tegra 2 version. going to try it out.
Nope, not working. Someone said it works on the Acer Iconia A500.

Dude, you have to report if you got it working ! that looks like awesomeness =)

Maybe someone could try editing their build.prop to make it work? I purchased it on the market and it works on my Captivate. I saw a thread on the gameloft forums where it is working on Gtablets. I installed it on my Transformer but get the error message that it isn't compatible even though I downloaded the tegra 2 resource files and put them where they need to go. If a simple build.prop change could fix this that would be fantastic. I'm not rooted and left the cable at work so I can't root to try it. However if anyone rooted gets it working I will definitely be rooting. I was hoping that after purchasing it on my phone it would show up on my Transformer under uninstalled purchased apps but no go

no go. Tried the build prop from lg optimus and acer iconia tab. stil says device not compatible. I dont get why gameloft wouldnt make an effort to have this tablet ready on launch.I guess its honeycomb. Im so disappointed. I doubt they wil ever add tablet support. They are pretty lame with updates

oh how I want a fix for this. Until then I'll use my thunderbolt but this would be so much better on a 10.1 inch screen

There is an "AllDevices" version now available which install, updates and runs to a point.
I managed to create a new character and accept the first quest before getting a FC.
Haven't tried further so far but going to give it another go.
The screen doesn't seem to quite fit, a small portion appears to be lost at the top.
Managed to complete a few more quests before the next FC.
FPS looks sparodic and like I said the screen isn't quite right, some text missing from top of pop up windows etc, buttons take a couple of presses to register sometimes but all in all looks a good game and quite playable without the FCs.

nice, did a search for "all devices version" loaded my char up and I've had no isuues so far

What rom/kernal/version of honeycomb are you using? I installed it and it force closes after about a minute in in game

Prime 1.4/blades 10.b clocked a 1.4/3.1

How do you get the all devices version or tegra2 version or whatever, should I just buy from the market? Wanna try this out

I can't manage to get this to run without force closing after a few minutes. Ice it doesn't force close for you?

Not working (well) for me either on gt10.1. Rooted just so I could edit the build.prop, but none of them seem any better. Top ¼ of the screen is cut off and force closes after a few minutes. I got the the backend files from - mobile phone talk dot com.

Yes, its working on mine (Rooted, with Stock 3.1 ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154492).
Google for "all devices version" made by a guy called Alelug, and dont forget to purchase the game via a compatible device

Here is my guide on how to launch this game on Transformer

[Q] N.O.V.A. 3 on samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1?

Ok, so I have searched as hard as possible to find a solution or reason as to why N.O.V.A. 3 will not run on my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. There are videos of it working on YouTube and even some of the app reviewers in the market are using it as well. I open the game, Gameloft appears, the main screen pulls up, and dialogue box in the middle of screen says "Your device is not compatible with this game. Please request a refund." All i can click is "Ok" and it closes. Has anyone else experienced this
My SGT 2 10.1 is rooted using Weltwon's method and Superuser

I have same problem with my SGT 2 7"

I have repeatedly tried uninstalling the app AND deleting the Gameloft folder each time.
I would attempt calling for a refund but I'm pretty set on getting this to work with my Sixaxis
By the way my model number is GT-P5113

No help/ideas from anybody?

The gtabs do not include sqlite3, but some custom ROM's do. Maybe they'll fix your problem.

Thank you! Im new to android and still learning. Now I have something new to research.

I installed and am playing it on the 7"...the store indeed says my device is not compatible but the file has been hacked/modified whatever so that it's compatible on a lot of devices.
I can't link anything 'cause that's considered warez..but google should help

Hi, I'm having the same problem with Galaxy S 3.... The device is rooted and youtube is full of people playing the game on SGS3... yet downloaded the game tonite and got the dreaded "your device is not compatible".... to add insult to injury the market place doesn't even give me the option to request refund.
Anyone know of a hack to make the game playable ?
I'm a recent convert from IOS, and am used to everything just working, bit of a supprise to have so few games actually work on the SGS3..... nice to be free of itunes though

Mod edit: Warez are not allowed. Don't suggest it again.

Suggesting people to steal an App is a sure fired way to get banned around here... Just saying. Great write up other than the fact that you won't pay $6 for a great game.

Oh you misunderstand. I would pay for it if i could trust me, but its NOT availiable for my tablet so the only way to get the app (for me) is to do it this way. Once its availiable in the play store I'll buy it cuz i really love gameloft games. and btw i just tried doing the pay thing and it doesnt work
**Note to people using this method -- Dont use it to get around for paying for the game!!!!
-- Also I would change your build.prop back after you are finished.

So I've been busy and missed all these posts. Please let me remind the Mods that i have paid or this app, im just looking to see if a solution is possible. I did just read another thread about Gameloft games not working in general with the tab 2 7 and/or 10.1. I suppose I will wait for updates...
Sent from my GT-P5113 using XDA

idk if gameloft will release an update for a while. I emailed them (as have many others) and it doesnt seem like it will be availiable the normal way for a while

Just an update. I have been back and forth with gameloft. After explaining the problem, they sent me a "fresh" download link for the game. I uninstalled the game and deleted the gameloft sdcard folder. I then installed using their link. Gameloft "G" appears, then the NOVA 3 screen, then a new message appears: "A problem occurred and the download could not be completed successfully. Do you want to restart the download? An unstable network may cause problems when downloading." No matter how many times I click YES, reinstall the game, restart my router, or restart my tab, it continues to show this message.
Once again, I notified gameloft and am waiting for a reply.
Just now I realized the file name sent to me from gameloft is "NOVA_3_Paymium_HD_Samsung_GTP5100_android.apk". Maybe its the difference between a GT-P5100 and my GT-P5113?

What the Hell !

So Xbox smart glass app came out yesterday. My friend has it on his Samsung Galaxy S 3. I have it for my old ass HTC HD2 running a 4.0.4 ICS ROM but for some stupid [email protected]#$%&* reason I can't see it in the marketplace when checking with the tablet. So installed it on my HD2 so I would see it in my "ALL" downloaded section and it says not compatible with your device. WTF!
So does anyone know why this would be? I would think my Tab would be able to use it before my 2/3 year old HD2
Sorry. Rant over:laugh:

Don't know if that will work. When i use the tablet to check every app I have downloaded it does show the app but says not compatible with your device.
I googled it and it seems tablets don't have access to it yet. At least not the NOTE10.1

Just side loaded
Sided loaded this app and it retains the same orientation as the phone app. I hope that they are working on a tablet version of this app. I think it is pretty nifty

A good amount of the "not compatible" apps in the market can be side loaded with no ill effects. Also 1mobile is decent because they let you load any free app.
