[How-To] Tegra 2 Games on Droid Charge - Verizon Droid Charge

I did not write this. I got this idea from ssserpentine and used it for the Galaxy Tab. Wanted to see if it worked for the MT4G and the Droid Charge, and it does. I use it to play Fruit Ninja.
Many thanks to ChainFire for writing this awsome program...... Chainfire3d
visit thread here...., Don't forget to hit HIS THANKS button while there.
What you need.....
To be ROOTED!!!! YEP thats pretty much it.
Go to the Market and download "[ROOT] ChainFire 3D". You can use the Free version, or just go ahead and chalk up the $4 for the paid version.
Download the Nividia Lib from the bottom of this post. Put on /sdcard/
Install CF3D Driver by clicking Install/upgrade/ uninstall CF3D driver.
Then Set the CF3D as the Driver. It will run a script and reboot.
Open Chainfire3D:
Install Plugin
(will search your /sdcard/ and show
Install Plugin
libGLEMU_NVIDIA.zip
/
Click the Nivida Plug-in. It will install it. When you see plug-in install complete. Press back button, and select
Default OpenGL Settings.
Click: Use plugin. Select Nvidia. Exit !
Now go to the Market and Search for Tegra Zone.
Install Tegra Zone from market.
Now you can download and play Tegra2 Zone games on your Droid Charge without "Hardware not supported error"
I have downloaded and playing games I payed for while on another phone (i.e. fruit ninja) So I can confirm that downloading games from the Tegra Zone and playing them on the Droid Charge works. There were some that said when we tested this out on the MT4G that they couldn't get games to download. As far as not being able to pay for games. I payed using my Google account. I have heard that for some reason people could not pay for full games.
NOTE: NOT ALL GAMES WILL WORK AS THEY ACTUALLY NEED THE TEGRA2 TO RUN. MOST JUST RUN OFF THE NVIDIA HD DRIVER.
DO NOT PURCHASE BANG BANG RACING!!!!!! It needs specific hardware that cannot be emulated at this point.
Confirmed working:
Samauri II
Riptide
Pinball thd
Fruit ninja thd
Backbreaker thd
The PowerVR Driver is included. The default driver for the Droid Charge is the PowerVR SGX 540. If you want to play Madden. Sometime the SGX 540 does not work. (I can't verify this as i don't play Madden and do not have it. Just what i've gotten back from research)

Reserved Space.

I can play Fruit Ninja without this mod. But I didn't purchase it from Market - I got it from the Amazon appstore since it was cheaper there. Maybe that's the difference?
The graphics seem to be subpar, though (not high res).

Thats because it's not the THD version of the game. You are playing regular Fruit Ninja.

I followed the directions in this thread and was able to download and install CF3d, the plugins and Tegra Zone app. However, I'm getting a "Non-Tegra device detected" error any time I try to download anything from the Tegra Zone app. If I try to search from the android market, the games don't show up.

The tegra games will not show up in the regular android market. And make sure you have Nvidia set as your default driver. You may not have selected it.

How do you buy Tegra games if you can't download them from the android market?

As mentioned. this seemed to hit and miss for some reason. I never had any problems downloading tegra 2 games or downloading them. Only game i could never get to work right was Madden. I also have a credit card connected to my tmobile and google accounts, so my purchases were 1 click purchases.

I wonder if is this new market that is in the Humble ROM?
Edit: Eureka! I used TB to wipe the data from the Market. Downloading Riptide now
Maybe update the OP with the Market wipe in case things don't show up?

NBA GameTime 2010-2011 (+ GameTime Plus & League Pass) Conflict/Issue

GameTime Plus and League Pass are 2 separate apps which add-on to NBA GameTime free. They do not work without the free app installed first and their features are independent of one another so what one add-on does will not give you access to what the other add-on is capable of.
GameTime Plus only provides live in-game radio and post game video highlights.
League Pass only provides streaming live video during the game.
When you install League Pass it successfully merges with the GameTime free app as you will notice it then says 'league pass enabled' when you start the app and the ads are gone.
However, when attempting to install GameTime Plus, it does not seem to locate or acknowledge that GameTime free is already installed because it asks you to install it and tries to take you to to the market with an unsuccessful search string. Therefore it does not successfully merge like the League Pass add-on and instead, creates a duplicate GameTime icon. Any attempt to access a gametime plus feature says you need to purchase it so the install is not successful.
I found these elsewhere (I cannot post formatted links):
League Pass: h//easy-share.com/1912770921/com.mobitv.lib.nlp-1.apk [50kb]
GameTime Plus: h//easy-share.com/1912770920/com.nbadigital.gametime.gametimeplus-1.apk [300kb]
If anyone could take a look and see what the problem is and, more importantly, provide a fix or remedy? Again, you need the GameTime free app installed first and you can find that by searching for 'nba digital' in the market.

you mean league pass (with game time free)? that's the one that is supposed to let you watch the games live.
game time plus (with game time free) gives you live radio and post-game video but not live video.
can somebody please upload the FREE version of the app, for some reason all my downloads are stuck and starting download
thanks in advance

I tried searching the market with my search strings as "nba digital" or "nba gamte time".
Both results did not show the nba game time app. Any idea why? Thanks.
I dragged league pass into my sd card and installed. Installation completed but the games were all blacked out..I d-loaded location spoofer to get around the ip but no luck. Anyone else have a solution yet? This app is more important to me than the NFL one yet that one works flawless...on wifi that is

If you guys open the game time app, press the menu key, select "more" and then "blackout information" they're pretty clear in explaining that none of the vpn, proxies or spoofers will work to get through the blackouts. Hopefully someone comes up with a method they haven't covered yet.
I would love to have this app but I don't want to pay $45 when my hometeams are blacked out. I hope it gets hacked like it did last year... came in usefull at school and work.
Sent from my N1 using XDA App
when ever i dl league pass, dosent show up as an app to install on my phone
i can see it on my sd card, but it just has an gear and like a window pane.
Can somebody upload on internet free version of NBA Game Time 2010/11. I have a problem with android market.
Thanks
ENJOY

Just run regular Game Time after installing both and you'll have the Plus features.
I would like to be able to use the League Pass. Nothing shows up though for the games or schedule. Everything just shows not available....

thank you. one step closer. now all we need is league pass and it shall be a fantastic season
there not installing
uninstall the one from the market if you have it in there.then install them. i had the same issue
All games are blacked out not just local games!
Sent from my Epic 4G
did anybody get the hack or patch yet for this?
the two files in post #13 work. you need to uninstall any previous version of gametime you had before or you will keep getting the "not installed" message. now we just need an updated mobitv league pass apk in order to watch live games. the league pass apk posted in the beginning of this thread doesn't work with the updated game and game plus apk's in post #13.

Games supposed to run but don't

After download GT Racing (Gameloft) from Market I found it doesn't run on my Atrix 2. Market clearly said "Compatible with your MB865 phone" but after I sent an email to Gameloft they just anwser one line: "It doesn't run on your phone".
Do you know any way to run it?
Do you know other applications that doesn't run but they should?
You may want to try the app "Chainfire 3D" (requires root though) and something like the nVidia plugin... Just do a search and you'll find it

Thank you for the tip. My Atrix 2 is already rooted, so I'll search for that app.

Novo 7 Basic transfer apps with my backup pro

So I am obviously a NOOB and a bit of a dim bulb too, as you will see.
I currently have 2 Android devices. An LG Optimus LTE that I got in Dec and a Novo 7 Basic I bought in Nov. Two opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to the Google Play market compatibly.
I support devs by purchasing my apps/donating from the play market, when I can. The problem with my Novo 7 Basic is that (in Canada at least) it only has the free version of Google Play installed and therefore not many compatible apps show up in the market for it, even though it clearly has the guts to run many powerful HD apps, especially since, thanks to infamouskid, I have Magic Code installed. If I could buy apps from Amazon market, then many of these apps would be available to me (when I have looked they are compatible). My Novo is upgraded to ICS. Fortunately MyBackup Pro is avail to my tablet in the market and it is also on my phone. So I use the PIN for the phone on my tablet in order to "restore" the apps to the tablet.
Now that Play is allowing one purchase to be used on all of the devices you own, I was really ticked off that many of the basic apps couldn't be loaded on my tablet without trying to find a link somewhere and take the chance it was ok...hence the lack of brain power part... obviously if I understood how to root ect I would get that you can use Titanium backup or in my case, mybackup pro to move the apps.
Using MyBackup Pro: I liked not having to unmount sd cards (and it really is a bugger to get the card out of my tablet). It takes longer, of course, to do it by WIFI (real long). I didn't like that it seems to be an all or nothing. If I download a new game on my phone, I would like to be able to transfer just it and not have the backup scoop up everything...this is probably just a new user lack of knowledge.
Anyways - many apps are now confirmed installed and working on my tablet. There were a few that wouldn't install (ie: Brisksaber, lol) and fewer still that installed but won't run (evil Gameloft).
I just wanted to point out this idea to those of us Noobs with Chinese Tablets, lol, as a great alternative to finding recompiled apps, or app links if you happen to have another Android device. I will include my apps now; you'll notice a bunch of "junk" since I've got little kids, lol. I first checked if they worked and then I moved many of the apps after the "Backup" to the SD card.
APPS (I will make a note of it not working or not working well, otherwise its going well!):

Golf Extreme - no it is laggy
Netflix - no won't open
Osmos HD - no won't open
Smart Tools - doesn't seem to be working right
Bricksaber - wouldn't install
Tintin HD - no - when it opens it tells me that the game is not compatible with my device. It is, but the licence won't let it work..I have nothing but problems with Gameloft games.....my phone came pre-loaded with some demo games (my carrier is bell), so when those game titles go on sale, I can't buy them at the sale price, only for $5 each....not likely! According to Gameloft, it isn't their Fault, its' Bells..according to Bell it itsn't their fault, its LG's...and according to LG...its Google Plays fault... I'll eventually get down to the business of root ect so I can blast those bloat games off my phone, lol.
If there are better ways of doing this transfer thing, please let me know!

I have been trying to find this game and for some reason all the links to it on google play say file not found. Is the GS3 not compatible with this game?
Try to use the play store on the browser and see if you can push it to your phone that way.

EA games on galaxy tab 2 7" with CM?

has anyone found a reliable legal way to get EA games working in cm9/10?
they require extra data on the sd card, but the EA servers never allow me to download the right data.
this is a problem I've always had with Wi-Fi tablets.
my current "solution" is to use the data from my phone and fixing compatibility problems with chainfire 3D and the nvidia plugin, but that won't work with cm10.

which mode you use 3g or wifi?use wifi to download it works for me...
as mentioned before, mine is wifi-only.
if you can download fine over wifi while running cyanogenmod that must mean you need a 3g capable device for ea games.

yes, the US version of galaxy tab 2 doesn't have sim card slot, but have infrared blaster port.
The International version have sim card slot, and can make phone call, but doesn't have infrared port.

Did you change your DPI on your tab 2 7"? I think that was my problem, I've since reverted back to 160 dpi and I have no problems downloading EA games extra data over my wifi. I assume you were getting the NaN on your download bar.
i never touched the dpi settings.
and the exact error varies.
some games get the nan problem you mentioned, i think nfs shift tells me to contact ea support, and nfs hot pursuit's updating popup keeps opening and closing.

I get that same error on NFS when I change the dpi to 133, but it works on 160.
strangely nfs hp now works fine.
nfs shift and worms however still can't download anything, with their download status displaying as NaN

Not A Number -error for me too for that pair. I got Worms working though by downloading the files with a another device. Shift files i downloaded as files from the internet and it was a graphical mess, probably wrong chipset files.
I can play fifa 12 and mass effect (downloaded from google play) on my p3100, im running cm9. Just edit your build prop to p1000 (i didnt know if this will work for tab 2 wifi version).
I use an app called device spoofer that allows you to easily edit your build.prop file. I found that changing between old galaxy tab and galaxy s2 or galaxy nexus would bring up different games in the app store. Make sure you clear google play store data in settings --> apps every time you edit your build.prop or use device spoofer.
I got worms and real racing 2 to work by using device spoofer to change to p1000 (old galaxy tab). Still got the NaN for Shift and cant get madden nfl 12 to work either
