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

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?

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

I still only see 1.3.5 on getjar and in the market. Any mediafire links like the last time?
P.S. - Never mind, appbrain got it for me.
Anyone know of a way to mark the first 3 worlds as complete so I can just try the new world/levels? ("the big setup")
// I had uninstalled after completing the earlier version
New update for QVGA devices is now almost unplayable. Extreme lag
Just updated it for my Aria and the framerates are disgusting. It also seems like they broke some of the game mechanics, some of the blocks and pigs are indestructible.
Agree, not playable... And even more graphic bugs.
I just updated through the Market and that was the 1.4.2 version.
Apears to be working ok for me too
Anyone have a direct link cause i didnt install it from market in first place so cant update there.
Well, it's good they moved the ad to the top right, else you'd have to wait for it to disappear before you could get to the stage when they showed you the new bird you could use.
Textures seem to be fixed on the Hero... I'm running Floyo 1.1.9.
Lag seems to be worse now though.
Lag lag lag lag laaaaaaaaag LAG !
on my MT4G lag got better?
I downloaded this right off the market from my Samsung Moment and it took almost twice as long as usual on the loading screen alone. Gameplay itself, sucked. I'd go through the action off pulling back a bird in the slingshot and immediately release, wait at least 3 seconds for the bird to actually start moving back on the screen, and a few more for the bird to start moving forward and fly through the air. Completely unplayable at that speed. Uninstalled and reinstalled the older version. Thank god for backups. Might not have the newer levels, but at least it's playable.
I also noticed in my limited gameplay, as someone else has mentioned, that the pigs seemed nearly indestructible. I'd hit em dead on with a bird and they wouldn't die...
Ad placement in the top right corner, dumbest idea ever.
The update plays just fine on the Galaxy S, but then everything does. It still sucks down the battery. I'm also convinced 11-1 is impossible.
Get it from getjar.com, that Rovio's official mirror for angry birds on android w/out android market.

Hey dudes. So I decided to put this guide together for anyone wanting to play Shadowgun and Sprinkle and other games requiring NVIDIA tegra that we can't normally play. These games are all pretty badass. In case you don't know, NVIDIA tegra is a processor that allows for better graphics, etc.
Someone asked about playing these games so I researched and the results I found were pretty awesome , so here we are. The app/tool that makes this all possible is called Chainfire3D. It's an intermediary OpenGL driver.
You can find more detailed info about it in Chainfire's thread. Thank Chainfire when you're there, he's the man for coming up with this.
Currently I am running CM7 #258 with chad's 11272011 incredikernel and have no problems playing these games, although reading through chainfire's thread I've found that people running sense 3.5 are having issues with it. Check the thread, it's worth taking the 5 minutes. Also I would do a nandroid just in case. Chainfire mentioned that some phones won't reboot after installing the CF3D driver mentioned in step 2. Again, I had no problems whatsoever but like I said do a nandroid anyway, it can't hurt . If you encounter that problem, boot into recovery, restore your backup and you're golden.
So I'll start by outlining the steps and providing links:
1. Download Chainfire3D. There are 2 versions. Free and Pro. You need Pro in order to edit the OpenGL settings for the games to play and get optimal performance. It's 5 bucks and well worth it.
2. Open Chainfire3D, Install the CF3D driver and let it reboot.
3. Download the plugins from this thread. Follow the instructions in that thread. Basically just download the plugins, extract to root of your sdcard, open Chainfire3D and install the plugins.
4. "Fix Market Settings" in Chainfire3D while still open. This will allow you to find the games in the market.
5. Buy/Install the games. The funny thing I found is that when searching the market from my phone, "Shadowgun" pulls up no results. But when searching "Madfinger" (the company that makes the game) Shadowgun shows up. So if you're having issues finding games, you might want to search the company that makes the game. I've only had that happen with Shadowgun though.
6. Edit your OpenGL settings per app in Chainfire3D. I found that the settings in this thread work perfectly on my phone. Although yours might need to be different I suggest you start with the settings in the screenshot in that thread. You need to designate NVIDIA as the plugin for Shadowgun as well as Sprinkle.
7. Play the game and think "f**k yeah, this is dope!"
I hope this helps people interested in playing these games because they are pretty frickin cool. Who said rooting isn't awesome? Cheers!
Not sure if i want to play the games you mentioned, but does this help in running fast 5 HD? That game lags like hell.

I couldn't say, I've never played it. If you can play it on your inc without an intermediary then I don't think it's run with tegra, otherwise you wouldn't be able to play. Atleast that's what I've learned.

Yeah, the tegra plugins wouldn't do you any good, but Chainfire3D may still prove useful for improving performance.
when i go into "load a driver" from per app config what driver should i select for modern combat 2. (a first person shooter game)
Shadowgun works perfect forma me Bit sprinkle not run when ir starts only black screen and then close nota FC just close

Is there something for JellyBean devices? Cuz CF3D doesn't work on those...
Once in a while you come across a game that you like instantly. "Running fred" is one of these games. But sadly it isnt running smoothly at all.
Im on sch rom with uc kernel v8.
Can anyone test it on his/her device(its a free game) and tell me if its running smoothly or not? Or maybe can anyone suggest a way to smoothen the game up?
Update: Just tried it on galaxy s2 and its running as smooth as silk.... guess our device cant handle it :/.... Its weird though since our device can properly play games like asphalt 6 hd and spider man hd
Well have you tried falling fred from the same dev? Its also free yet it runs on our phone smoothly. But the running fred isn't. I also have that game and it's great but as you said it's kinda laggy that you can't see where the hell the coins are when are aleeady that fast. Well i think the reason is the GPU. Or perhaps it is not yet OPTIMIZED for our device. Let's wait for updates of that game.

Hmm i guess you're right... we have to play the waiting game for this awesome app :/
you must have installed this as an apk from another phone or something's messed up in my market. I can see it, it prompts me to instal it, but it doesn't install, so I can't test it without making some effort to find a way to download it.
Probably something is wrong with your market since i did downloaded it from the android market.
Anyone else have issues with playing FN on CM9? Whenver I boot it up it says "loading feint" and never actually gets past that.
No, I don't have any issues.
Try to press the back button.
Or if that doesn't work, then your only way is to Register at openfeint.
I have an account and if i press the back button, it goes to home screen an when i go back it tells me fruit ninja has stopped and kicks me back to home but the music starts playing

I play fruit ninja with a single finger and can score 450+
CM9 doesn't have hardware acceleration. I could barely get any games to work on it. Most would crash within a minute or two or run slowly when they did work. Only a few nondemanding games worked at all. For that reason I switched to Modaco Rom based on the stock KF software. Apparently CM7 has hardware acceleration too but some games require tricks to get them working since they claim not to be compatible.

The last time the free version of Fruit Ninja was updated, the Kindle wasn't even out yet. The paid version works flawlessly though.

I'm pretty sure cm9 has hwa now and even at the time you posted saying it didn't hwa was present on hash codes kernel having games work flawlessly as well as HD YouTube and Netflix. Just saying :b
at a loss
I have just recently upgraded from cm7 on my kindle to cm9 reloaded v1.3
I love this rom, but fruit ninja has stopped working for me now. It used to work on cm7, but now it dont. It s actually kinda funny cause games like heavy gunner, that didnt work on my cm7 now works on cm9.
Anyway when you start the game it instantly crashes and says that the game has stopped working, booting me back to my launcher.
It has worked great for me in cm9. Using the latest vanilla and hashcodes kernel. It also worked with energy.
