Hi, recently i have installed one of the latest android builds on my HTC HD2 mobile phone, i love it, works perfect and use it everyday rather than windows mobile.
One of the main reasons i turned my phone into an android device was the excitement in seeing people over youtube etc running games from gameloft on their htc hd2 devices such as N.O.V.A and Modern Combat etc FPS games with really cool graphics.
However, i am facing one big problem.
Every single game i have downloaded made for android from gameloft, either downloaded or purchased directly from their site, all seem to install fine, but then everytime i go to run the game, it opens and straight away says it needs to download additional data to run the game. Everytime it does this and finishes downloading, i tap to run the games and the game crashed back to the home screen.
I have tested about 8 android games now from them and all 8 have done the same thing, asked for additional data and then crashes when tryin to run the game.
I see they run fine on htc desire etc running android but im really miffed off and absolutely confused why my htc hd2 running froyo 2.2 android build aint able to play these games. Even after following correct instruction as to placing the game in the correct folder on sd card, install in airplace mode etc blah blah.
Really wanna get N.O.V.A and Modern Combat: Sandstorm working on my mobile.
Please help
Willing to make a reasonable donation to whoever can help get these working for me, I dont know if i need a specific android build or maybe some sort of android patch or game validator or some tool im missing????
bumppppp
I might be wrong here, but my guess is that the GPU doesn't work the same way as it would natively if it were on any other native Android device.
I have a Droid 2 Global and the HD2 running AA on SD. Simple games requiring some extra GPU power(Flick Kick for example), play clean, no lag, no distortion on my Droid 2 Global but have poor laggy graphics on the HD2.
If you really want to play those games, you should just get a native Android phone.

nah, the GPU isn't the problem. It has adreno 200 which is same as HTC desire and it runs all the games fine. It can be the problem of ram. How did you install android on it? Is it running windows mobile in the background? if yes, then lack of ram is likely to be your problem and that's why you get a crash...

I do realize that the GPU is good enough to power those games, but are the resources for the GPU allocated the same way that they would if Android was being run on an Android Native device?
I have American Android(03/20/11) installed on SD and I show a good 190MB of RAM if not more. I am currently download the data files of Modern Combat 2 HD to my HD2 and will post my results back.
Now that I think about it, I do have SpeedX 3D that runs fine. Could it be the OP's current setup that is preventing something from working fine? Are you installing directly to SD? Move back to phone and leave data to SD. Then try again...
hey,...i also using htc hd 2 hyperdroid rom..its works fine.i installed HAWAX its work fines
I just installed Modern Combat 2 HD from Gameloft and it works just fine. Rendering of GFX, everything.
There's most likely something in your configuration(ROM, Apps installed, etc...) that is causing this issue.
Off to play some Modern Combat 2 HD
My HD2 plays all the games I want. I installed asphalt 5 and Skies of Glory last week and they work perfectly. Have you tried a new firmware? I'm running Gingerbread 2.3.1.
LOL! Same problem on my Galaxy S. Only Assassin's Creed works Nicely.
The rest just crash to the main screen after downloading the additional data! Running Android 2.3.3...
If you bought the games they won't crash since they are all up to date and very compatible with GB 2.3.3. If you are using warez, that is one good reason why they crash.
Gameloft also connects to verify authenticity. If you game isn't very authentic, that is another reason.

Which android version did you buy/DL to be able to run correctly on the HD2? I'm thinking about buying a couple games from gameloft but since I'm running Android on the HD2 I don't know which version of the game to get...maybe the Desire HD version? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry not which games...I meant for which phone version did you buy to work on the HD2? When I go to gameloft and try to buy a game...I choose HTC and my carrier then it asks to choose your phone model the HD2/LEO isn't listed...is the closest the Desire HD?
most gameloft games can be played on my HD2

I am using android 2.3.3 Hyperdroid GBX v.11 (installed on phone, not sd) and the list of gameloft games having in my phone are;
1. asphalt 5 and 6 (both running smoothly)
2. Eternal legacy (running smoothly)
3. Novo (U need to change the control. By default, it is set to gamepad/or joystick mode...to other controls given there) otherwise the game crashes.
4. Real Football 2011
5. Hero of Sparta HD
6. Sand storm 2 (In couldnt install it, it force closed during verification process. But I have read ppl successfully installing in HD2 android and playing). I will try again and report later.
Phone: (sd card) I used app2sd partition and sd extn.
tools that I used on phone: Temp+CPU pro for increasing my phone processor, sd card speed increase app., Speed boost to clean cache and kill application.
I would suggest you to install OS on your phone (Nand) as to me, it is faster and can handle application and games faster.

He's not talking about the games to get. He's saying that on the gameloft site, which phone should he coose for the HD2. The "HTC HD2" isn't listed so he needs to choose a phone which is listed to be able to download a game(s).

If I were to go there, I would choose the Desire since its like an android version of the HD2 (In performance).

That's wrong. You should select desire / bravo as it's the closest to our hardware. (Desire Hd has a faster processor, more RAM and a better touchscreen concerning multitouch.) Bravo has exactly the same Hardware just smaller.

You were correct about the Desire.

Nova works great on my hd2 android gingerbread. But no luck yet on increasing game's 3/5ths screen display size. Any tips on increasing display to full size?

First thread here in XDA but I'm wondering about Gameloft games.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S infuse 4g with the carrier Rogers and for some reason Gameloft only have 3 games available for me: UNO, N.O.V.A. 2, and Ashphalt 6.
Why isn't my phone compatible with any other Gameloft game, including older ones?
I managed to get Modern Combat 2 Black pegasus and N.O.V.A. through "Samsung Apps" on my phone which means they can run on my phone... so why can't I even find those 2 games on their mobile site? It proves that I can run those games so why does it say they're not compatible?
I have about 7 games from gameloft. HERE IS THE TRICK!!! Put ur phone in airplane mode, (so it doesn't pick up the signal and recognize what kind of phone u have), then connect to wifi. (Make sure u are still in airplane mode!) then the list of all games should be available to you.

I swap lines in my build.prop. I change anything that is an SGH-I997 to GT-9000 and suddenly as an SGS, I can download a lot more games! Fancy that!?!
I dint.do it through root purposes. I just did what wrote in my earlier post. Because with your mobile network off and wifi on, it doesn't detect the kind.of phone u have

Gangstar 3 has FINALLY dropped! Shows up in the launcher and everything. Time for this and GTA3 to go head to head.

i've been wait a long time for this game ,thanks pal for information ,now on going to download this games
Damn you're fast!
As far as I'm concerned... GTA3 won't be hard to beat from a technical standpoint. It's got status... it's got fame... but it's aged horribly, it's touchpad usage barely exists, and it manages to have very underwhelming performance for a game that looks as bad as it does.
Adding to the database ASAP
Anyone played yet? How are the controls? I'm downloading now but it's taking forever on Gameloft's crappy servers, I don't see why they can't just host the data on Google Play

not expecting to much from Gameloft.
I've had a quick play and, as expected, it's buggy as hell. My main gripe is the popup tip windows. I can't find any way of removing them without turning them off completely or exiting to the main menu. Playing is impossible with one of those taking up 2/3 of the screen. Also sometimes steering/moving will continue in a certain direction when not pressing anything. Wheelies/stoppies on bikes can only be done using the accelerometer with the gamepad closed.
Controls are ok but touchpad sucks like in most Gameloft games. D-pad can be used for direction so it's not too bad.
Graphics aren't great, things look a bit blocky and the colours a little washed out. Physics are terrible, vehicles stick to the road no matter what, it's almost impossible to get some air in a car or bike. Vehicle handling is crap in general.
Overall I'm disappointed with this so far, especially given the £5 price tag, but I suppose this is to be expected from Gameloft
Better wait for a price drop then I find the current price too steep. Thanks for the review.
As a side note, I'm currently playing other Gameloft production- Six Guns, which is also a little buggy but still playable. And one does not need to spend a penny on it, if they wish so.
So, this is yet another Gameloft game that looks amazing in pictures & video, but when you actually come to play it...it's boring, frustrating & buggy as hell? I bet it is...

Exactly. Think I'll just pirate Gameloft games in future, then buy later if I think they're worth it
I have GTA3 so wont be buying this. It looks ****e!
Who's gonna buy this garbage for £5 !
What do you expect it's made by Gameloft not Rockstar......
Sent from my R800i using XDA
It costs more than the game it's a ripoff of!
I never buy a Gameloft game for more than 99 cents during one of their sales (or the Play store's sales). Based on the bugginess of every single one of their releases, they do not deserve the $6-7 they normally charge.
Sadly, I fell for the Gameloft hype when I first got my Play. Got a few games free, paid 99p for others...and honestly, out of all the games I've played...the only decent one is Asphalt 6. I really enjoyed that. But the other suck big time.
Damn game keeps FC'ing on me so I can't even form any kind of review. I seriously wouldn't be surprised if City of Saints beats gta3 at everything except gta3s fame though.
What I can say is that; on a general note, gameloft desperately needs to learn about compression. This game sucks an obligatory 10MB off the phone, and near 2GB off the card after everything is unpacked. There's games 100x better looking than anything gameloft has ever done that can stay at under 500kb off the phone and under 1GB on SD storage.

They made a 2d version a while back. The SD files are about 1.6GB on the new 3d one.
3d version = https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftG4HM
What are you guys talking about? It's a 2mb apk and 800mb sd data less than EA's FIFA 12 they already did better job with compression this time. And I could run the game on first run its kinda slow/laggy with 1Ghz but when I overclocked it to 1.8GHz the game was pretty smooth have to test on 2.0ghz.
Ps. Currently using Xperia Monster Rom from DikeJ with doomkernel v11

That's unpacked.
The APK is ~2MB and the data download is 800MB unpacked... but after it's all said and done, the 800MB unpacks to well over 1.5GB, 10MB of which is sent to the data portion of the game's phone storage install (meaning it can't be moved to SD with the other chunk of SD data).
That's one of the things I hate the most about Gameloft. They aren't considerate of people with low phone storage. Order & Chaos is a really nice game to play on Xperia PLAY; yet they rape your phone's SD card with a huge data installation, then add insult to injury by forcing 19MB into the phone's data portion of phone storage so that it can't be moved to SD without minitool partitioning.

Hmm ok I forgot to mentioning it was the download size anyway I'm just happy that they finally released the android version. Though requires some fixes or more optimization for 1ghz processor. But after gta3 this game's a refreshment. And if you're comparing both then gta3 is much smoother and optimized for XPlay(1ghz) right now.

has anyone tried the new released Galaxy on fire 2 HD (Galaxy Note) version available on samsung apps??
please tell us your opinion on how good it is, especially compared to the iphone counterpart
here's the link in ase someone is tempted
http://www.samsungapps.com/topApps/topAppsDetail.as?productId=G00008873481
I'm tempted, but keep getting the attached error message when I try to buy it.
A Google search confirms it's due to a lack of available memory but I have over 1GB on the phone, over 5GB internal and over 7GB external free. The game says it's only a 340MB download. How much memory can it possibly need to unpack?
It's very beautiful. Here are the screenshots. I'll compare them to the THD Version tomorrow.
I get the same "not enough memory" message when I easily have enough for the app

THD version has way better graphics (simply by comparing the asteroids). Though after playing for ~30mins or so it runs out of memory and closes. Seems to be an issue with THD version.
I was able to transfer the THD version save files over to the Sammy version though.
hi, i just bought a sensation xe and i want to play hd games like real racing 3...but it seems like you have to put the files to internal and I only have 1gb left when hd games like batman requires like 2.5gb of space. Is there any way to link the internal to sd card which software like Directorybind for samsung s3..or anything else to make it work?
The data (the largest part) should download to the SD card automatically. Does it give some kind of error?

put game's files at android->data folder in sdcard
the game should run after that
