Gives us a good base to work off of to get it running on the TF. Also shows that Tegra 2 is capable of the DRM they use...

Gameloft and Android Versions, which one to chose?
Which versions of Gameloft games can be played on the Transformer?
I already know that if it's for honeycomb, or if it's for the motorola zoom, it sure will play on the transformer, but most of gameloft games are made for phones.
And there is like tons of versions of one gameloft game for each brand of phone.
Can anyone tell me which phone versions of Gameloft games is more compatible with the TF?
Example: Maybe chosing the samsung galaxy SII version of gameloft games runs ok on the transformer? Or maybe HTC is more compatible, or the motorola droid, etc...
Also I noticed that playing the latest version of a game (like chosing the latest 1.0.9 version) does not always work.
Tnx for any answers.

thanks
but this is not what I want to know??
these apks Are optimised games for tablets, and need other data that we should download by wifi, but i can't download by wifi (for reasons) and want to download offline data?
so I decide to install mobile phone apps (2.1, 2.2, 2.3) that have offline data.
taht is why i need to know which games ( for which mobile phone: e.g. samsung, motorola , HTC ) will work on the asus eee pad transformer (honeycomb) ??

What are you talking about? What do you mean by "offline data"? The only reason you would need to do what you are using pirated apk. As far as I know there are no phone versions of Gameloft games that work on the Transformer, except the Atrix version of Modern Combat.
You are basically asking for information on hacks that no one has tried because we don't need to. We have perfectly working tablet optimized Gameloft games working, that can be obtained legitimately. I am fairly certain that if the game is not in the list I pointed you towards, it doesn't work on the TF.
I just purchased the MK808B and will have it delivered tomorrow. I was curious what to expect with steaming apps. I live in a condo that doesn't allow more than basic cable so I currently use my PS3 to watch movies from Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and Crackle. I was curious if other apps work like Directv Everywhere, Max Go, Showtime Anytime, etc??
As far as games go what controller do most of you use? I bought the Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 to use for now but I assume I'll want a good game controller.

My MD808B arrived today. I bought it through Amazon from Geekbuying. It did come pre-rooted. It's a very fast device that operates with little to no lag. Not the my pleasing (to the eye) homescreen but not bad. I hooked up my Logitech K400 keyboard and was off and running within a minute or two. As I mentioned in my first post my main focus was on the streaming apps. I went to Netflix first, the play store downloaded a table version of Netflix and it ran with no problem at all. I generally use my PS3 and there is a noticeable difference in quality. The MK808B looks much closer to the SD while the PS3 has a nice HD pic. I have limited speed here (about 3MB down) so that isn't helping.
Up next I went to HBOGo. It works as well. The only problem was when you go to the login screen you can't see the text boxes once the onscreen keyboard pops up. Outside of that it seems to work well. Quality is about the same as I get from my laptop, which isn't great but acceptable.
Maybe the most important to me is Directv Everywhere. The app downloaded, fired up quickly and searched moved quickly as well. However I can't get anything to play. It just has a circle in the middle of the screen as if it's buffering. I'll keep working on this one because it's so important to me but I'm not very optimistic.
Crackle's app is small and downloaded with no problem. It's not the easiest to navigate but it did work and the streaming quality was similar to the PS3, not HD but "ok".
I tried Hulu, as most of you know it didn't work. Saying it was't supported on this device.
MaxGo downloaded and starts up with no problem. However when I try to sign in it keeps going back to the main page and without signing in you can't watch the shows/movies.
Redbox Instant doesn't work if you're rooted but there easy work around is to the turn off the superuser features in the SU app. Once I did that I was able to use Redbox but the quality was below average and it buffered repeatedly. At this point it's not usable for me.
As for games I tried a few and so far only Angry Birds works for my setup. Others like Swat FT were impossible because of how it's designed. Temple Run 2 wouldn't start because you can't click on "Play". Real Basketball wouldn't allow me to click on start or click to close the game.
Well it's early and I'm not giving up on the device but right now I would have to say it's far from ready for prime time. It certainly serves a purpose and I'm sure there are ways to make the most out of it but it's more work than I had hoped. Back to more testing!
The nVidia Shield is running Android in the background, so I tought it would be great to run it in on my Android.
Would it be possible to extract the nVidia App or Rom and run it on an Android (Nexus 5) phone than attach a bluetooth controller.
I know there's some alternative like Slashtop and etc. but its just remote stream and its pretty slow compare to the nVidia solution.
I didn't saw any thread about that.
There is next to none for information on this tablet which I find surprising. I picked one up and I think for the features and price it is a fairly good deal. Who doesn't want a bigger android tablet that is still portable?
I just wish there was a root for this as I would like to use the sixaxxis app and my ps4 controllers. I can bind the controllers by BT, but there's about .5 second input lag. Also whether I connect 2 controllers by usb or BT, android sees them as one controller. Is there any solution for this without root?
The other thing is that google play games won't sync progress. I did a clean restore and it still doesn't work. Perhaps the x86 architecture has some compatibility issues.

Hey Guys -
Does anyone know of a way to mod the OS, installer APK, or whatever else so that games like Doom BFG or Borderlands 2 may be played on the Shield Portable? I've searched for about 30 minutes now but it's difficult as all references I've found have been people playing one of the games via GRID / Nvidia's online streaming and a couple of non-proven claims.
I read one post my Nvidia's staff where BFG wasn't released supposedly because it only got 30fps and understand that the hardware isn't what the tablet has, but would think it would still be possible. I've read many posts before for how to install other apps on devices that don't officially support them so would think it would be possible.
My portable is on the latest image, is rooted, and I own many games as I have a Shield Tablet too, but would love to be able to play them on my portable.
Thanks!
As far as I know, the portable has no OpenGL 3.x - it's only 2.x.
BFG Edition and other games need OpenGL 3.
That's the same reason, most current games published in the PlayStore won't work/install on the Portable anymore.
