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.

Hi
I was wondering if there are any games on the android market that work with the WiiMote except from the Emulators.
Maybe there is even a List of compatible Apps and Games?
Thank you
^bump
Wondering same thing. I've known I've downloaded some that have had an option, but I cannot remember what those were.
Anyone know of any games that are compatible?
Is it works on GT7+? has anyone already rooted succesfully tried installing chainfire3D on GT7+ with HC 3.2?
the main reason i would go for root is chainfire, but have to wait for the CWM for the P6200 international version though...
*hope garyd9 would develop one
Once I get a microSD card I will test this out. Plan on setting up chainfire and trying out some games.
Chainfire3D works on GT7+, already set it up.
I've tried ChainFire on the GT7+ but Asphalt 6 doesnt work.

The problem with Asphalt6 is that it does not recognize our tablet so won't download game data (You don't need CF3D to run asphalt on Exynos now).
I got NFS14 running, however the gravity sensor is perpendicular to the screen...
I had no problem downloading and installing Asphalt 6, but when i run it, it says not compatible with this device.

BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!

google for chainfire plugin then install it, afterward try run older gameloft games for original tab (p1000-powervr version) and use powervr plugin, if its run, share here with us

Well, there are problems beyond texture format.
Most new Gameloft games (i.e. Asphalt) does have support for our Exynos chips now, no need to use CF3D. However when first time start the game, it detects the device model and decides which game data package to download.
Apprently gameloft does not recognize our tab now. My work around is to download game data on my SGS2 then copy them to my tab plus.
However there is a new problem, the orientation of gravity control is 90 degress from the screen. For example, the game runs in landscape, but I have to hold the tab in potrait to get correct gravity control, which made the game unplayable.
Hi to all,is possible install chainfire3d on tf101 for play non tegra games like qualcomm or powervr? Thnks in advance.
Not to play tegra-incompatible games, but it does optimize things that weren't specifically designed for tegra a bit.
yes. but last i heard it was unstable on anything above gingerbread
I used it on Honeycomb, but it wouldn't let some games like Angry Birds render properly on ICS so I uninstalled it.
Don’t know much about how compatibility is determined on the play store weather it’s up to the developer to say a device isn’t compatible. But I noticed on launch day nothing was really blocked due to compatibility but yesterday most of Gameloft’s library disappeared for me was curious if anyone was able to try Dungeon Hunter 4 & Order and Chaos on the shield.
Anyone have insight on why certain apps are being blocked?
It's a new device and normally will have to wait for game updates before certain company's list the Shield as compatible (its the game developers that enable compatibility lists on their Google dev accounts).
I do know Modern Combat 4 will work with controls on Sheild as its recently been updated with HID support but whether it's available to download is another story.
For now your probably better off sideloading games from another droid you own (if you do).

App developers can change their games compatibility. Gameloft, in general, doesn't support controller on many games, so I wouldn't be surprised if they started marking them as incompatible.
Do you happen to have a rooted phone or tablet? If you do you can download the games to that device and back them up with titanium backup. Then you can export the backup and import it to your shield if you have rooted your shield. You might be able to just pull the apk out of the titanium backup and sideload it on the shield if you have not or don't want to root the shield.
I did this exact thing with the game Avadon to get it on my Kindle Fire when I had that. It isn't pirating since you own the game and a lot of the time games will work on unsupported devices this way. Once you have them installed they typically show up in the market but will still say unsupported and not allow you to update them.
I would imagine without controller support those games would need an app like Gamekeyboard and root to emulate touch controls with the physical buttons. I am currently using that app to play Final Fantasy Dimensions with the Shield. The only thing I cannot do with the physical controls is browse the inventory out of combat. In combat and walking around I can use the physical controls fully. It's pretty awesome.
Evo_shift, how did you root the Shield? Thanks!
Edit: nvm, saw the thread.
Yeah, I was wondering why I couldn't find Modern Combat 4!

Don't need root to sideload from one phone to another (or tablet or shield).
ES File Explorer supports backing up apps to .apk without root permissions. From there you just copy the APK onto the shield, launch it in a file browser and android will install. No root required.
As for final fantasy. I guess no out of combat inventory is annoying, but at least you do have native touch.
My brother had a kindle fire, we used the ES file explorer method and since then have rooted the device, added the play store and a custom launcher. Shame that you have to do those mods but once you have its definitely a bargain. Missing bluetooth and camera etc, but its cheap and runs most things pretty well we've found.

Wow, cool. I had no idea something like that wouldn't require root.
The lack of bluetooth is why I ended up selling the Fire when the Nexus 7 was released. It did everything I wanted it to do just fine and I got it during one of Amazon's big refurbished sales and was my first tablet so I didn't want to spend a lot because I wasn't sure I would use it. Finding out I wasn't able to use a bluetooth gamepad was a real bummer to me. Now, my kids have basically taken over the Nexus (and they are only 4 and 2 years old but there are nice educational apps). The shield is my new toy that they will not have access to and basically replaces my Nexus 7 since I only used it for gaming
I contacted Gameloft and all they said there's nothing in the works, but when there is they will announce it. Lame

Not all games allow apk back up without root. There will be a little lock icon for the ones that are protected. I think all Gameloft games allow sideload, since the game checks your Google account during the first time opened to validate. Most games released in the past year (at least) still check the device if compatible, so even sideloading does not mean the game will actually work when you open it.
For modern combat, turn off mouse control via quick settings and the game works great.
im still waiting for my shield, does wild blood or nfs most wanted work?
I can map the keys through game keyboard if they can run on the shield

NFS Most Wanted works (touch only).
Throwing this out there. If you like racing games, be sure to check out Asphalt 8. It works and is compatible with the Shield controller.
I install the dungeon hunter 4 and use the tincore keymapper to map the screen button and work like champ.

Are you able to set the graphics on very high on DH4?
Asphalt 8 is the first one im going to play when my shield gets here tomorrow.

so if anyone has:
Dungeon Hunter 2
9mm HD
would like to know the results.
Gangstar vegas works with touchscreen + high graphics mod from xda plays awsome
Im going to try mapping keys to it.
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.
