[Q] [GAME] Gameloft Sandstorm and NOVA

has anyone been able to get these games to actually work on their nexus? the gameloft site says that the nexus one isnt supported yet the lesser much crappier phone, moto droid is supported?
im able to install the apk file but when it downloads its additional content Sandstorm gets stuck at 99%, NOVA actually finished its download and said "tap screen to play" so i did then i exits out to adw. so i start it back up again and it wants to download again and its stuck at 99%. my friend can run these games beautifully on his vibrant. is the nexus being forgotten already?!

A gpu problem perhaps? Don't both the droid and the vibrant both have better gpus than the Nexus?

Nova works very fine on my nexus one ..

NOVA works fine on my nexus one, i found a version for the desire

Would you mind linking where you bought it? Or pm me I think its something with the downloaded files it requires. Also what rom are you running? I'm on leofroyo 2.0.0

I got gangstar working.

i'm too
i'm too, i can't play sandstorm, nova on CM 6 RC3

so can anyone tell me how this game gets installed on the n1? i got the apk and downloaded the required files and it gets to "touch screen to launch" then it exits and when i reopen it, it just self exits (takes a ****). also if someone with the desire version tell me if the downloaded files are different than the ones it regularly downloads?

It sounds like you're using a pirated version, in which case, is why it does not work.

no its a legit version, paid for. but it wont run. PERIOD

The OP's symptoms aren't related to pirating it, for the person who asked above.
If you play the pirated version with your radio on, while it's downloading the files or before you even get to the title screen it'll say something similar to "this version of NOVA is not legal." If you're getting to the title screen and it crashes after that, not sure what's causing the problem. Try reinstalling or contacting gameloft? It ran fine on my phone.
by the way, the game plays pretty poorly on the nexus due to how confused the phone gets when using multitouch

Was it bought using your phone, Gameloft uses Googles new verification steps.......
After 24-48 hours it gets validated and then allows the app to fully work.

The demos work alright, although not very multi touch friendly for the Nexus.
You could try downloading the demo and buying it through there.

I downloaded desire version of nova and galaxy s version of sandstorm demos... Both worked great so I purchased both of them from the games main menu and play them both daily

Amazon App Store

Amazon just launched its app store today and is giving out Angry Birds Rio for free today, it is awesome.
http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b/ref=sa_menu_adr_app1?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011
PS: You need the ability to enable unknown sources, hence is not available for AT&T . Since most of the custom roms have it so it works for us.
thanks to all the developers at XDA.

Yeah its only for custom roms and some verizon/tmobile phones.
Its really laggy but worth it for free angry birds

Laggy in what ? I found it pretty smooth.
Has this issue where it asks you to enable one click purchase option and I could not get past that.. but if you purchase it online, and then open the app store on the phone it downloads the apps instantly. I actually found it faster than the market.

At worst they might have to change the name... I don't think they will have to close the store unless google or the carriers decide against it.

Actually better than android market...both amazon web and app version
What is the critique process and security?
Do they check apps like itunes, no check or maybe check like goggle market
Edit: I'm still sticking with android market...I think multiple markets will get confusing....I can imagine the "with amazon app store" phones already ):

i think is the wrong path to go with Android. Its good to have all the same OS but what if BB comes out with their own market (which they will) but then you have a Samsung?
Google should put a stop to this.
FYI: Some of the apps on the Amazon AppStore cost more than they do in the Market.

Sideload Wonder Machine will work on Stock Rooted ROM (Froyo). Use it to install the Amazon App MArket. Then download Rio...it won't install, but you can again use SWM to install the downloaded Rio apk.

It NEEDS credit card info even to download FREE apps..!!!!

So please let me know what do i need to do if i want to install amazon appstore on my captivate, and how can i do it
Thanks

Read the thread. Thats how.

Installed without issue on my stock AT&T 2.2. Used AIO Toolbox to enable side loading and I just downloaded using the link and installed. Linked it with my Amazon account (which already has 1-click setup) and downloaded Angry Birds Rio and installed without issue.

Same here. Already blew through the first 15 levels of Angry Birds Rio.
It is much easier if you already have an Amazon account established prior to installing their App Store.

How about for yuppies like me who does not have any credit card yet?

They will soon be able to bill purchases directly to your AT$T account. Wait until then.

Use a test card, Mailinator for an address, and make yourself an account with no real info other than your tn. I didn't try to fake that out, it might work, it might not.
Of course their app store runs on startup, and is required to run the program, meaning I'll finish off Angry Birds Rio in airplane mode then uninstall it all.
And Amazon's interface is pretty bad, especially when you are in catagories. Didn't they test?

Interesting...I was able to install on stock 2.2. I guess since I've rooted and enabled non market apps it was able to do that. Not sure why an Amazon appstore tho..what does it have over the market?

Its great that we can finally have an app store that filters out all the crap in the android market. The one thing I miss the most from iOS is a decent app store with (at the very least) pretty apps. Unfortunately there is just too much low quality stuff meant phones with low res displays.

Dead Space on Amazon Marketplace - For the Kindle

If you haven't seen this game, you probably should.
The (best?) game I have seen so far for an Android device and this one has been (modified?) for the Kindle Fire.
Kotaku had a video of the game playing here
kotaku (dot) com/5861972/the-kindle-fire-just-might-be-a-kick+ass-gaming-machine
They incorrectly state that its a ipad version running (that version has been out for a while), the actual game is on the Amazon marketplace for $6.99

Funny - in Amazon's App store, when you bring up the page for "Dead Space (Kindle Fire Edition)", it says it's not compatible with my Kindle Fire.

Strange, I was able to purchase, install and play it without any issues last night.

Very nice. Just installed it.
Thanks!

I went out and came back in and now it says it's compatible. I'm gonna try it.
Thanks!

What is everyone's take on the game? It looked good, but I'm skeptical. I also have played both games on 360 already.

Sad stuff, being from EU I can't access the Amazon AppStore and can't purchase it.
Couldn't find it anywhere on the Internet either.

SWETT!
Going to def download this!

They pulled the app, probably due to compatibility issues:
http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Space-Kindle-Fire-Edition/dp/B0066T0EVE
Currently unavailable
We don't know when or if this item will be available again.

Can anyone that already downloaded it please share it?
Cheers

Seeing as it was a paid app, I think that would be frowned upon on this forum.

I think, you only need to give an address in the US to be able to access the amazon appstore.

Issues
I've had many issues with this game since I purchased it, just won't open, takes many many times trying to open it to finally get it to play, and sometimes it will open, but get to the EA screen and Force Close. Once it finally opens all the way thou, it plays perfectly, never force closes or waffles. If it's been pulled, it was prolly pulled for these issues, many reviewers of the game in the Amazon App Store where having the same problems.
Although when it does play, it's very good. The gameplay is is perfect for a tablet, I was surprised at how well it really played, and the graphics look amazing.

I can't find that game in the Market or Amazon App Store

super fun, pref shadowgun more though.

Even though its a paid app if someone would upload it that would be great. Ill buy it when it comes back to the store I'm just excited.

Your willingness to pay for it in the future, no matter how honorable, is not reason enough for anyone to upload this file. If you find it via other sources, good for you, but please don't ask people to do that on this forum.

Alright, sorry about that!

[Q] NBA Game Time 2011-2012/NBA.TV

Hi,
I have a request. Does some know how to make NBA Game Time 2012-2012 or NBA.TV app work on kindle fire. I tried through android market but it says that my device is not compatible.
Do you have any advice to solve this problem ?
(If by any chance you have the apk to install this I would really appreciate sending my liknk through PM)
Best regards,

I will ask differenlty ;-)
May someone from US who has access to Android Market, download NBA Game Time 2011-2012 and make backup of it and then post a link to a apk file so we can test if it works on Kindle Fire?
Thank in advance!

I need the app also. I have a dell streak 7 from t-mobile that I reloaded with the streak 7 honeycomb rom. Now the app wont install because it allows streak7 t-mobile but not the wifi that the honeycomb rom is based off of. Its too smart for its own good.

I pulled the APK from my Inc2, and it's odd since it's buried in another spot, not in /data/app.
I tried to install it on my kindle (unrooted) but it would get stuck at the splash screen. Anyways, here's the apk.

Anyone have any success with this?

I will try it at home and post results here

i dont think that will work- pkg.apk is for sprint broadband nba.

The file which was included above do work on Kindle Fire. I didn't try mobile league pass because I'm not in US.
I also istalled NBA.TV app which supposed to be not only for US users and it also works on Fire but it's not dedicated for tablet so for instance I can't login to international league pass because of screen issue.
Hope it helps

I was able to install it on my Transformer, using the above link, as it wasn't in the market for me, or any other tablet user. Everything works ok, except on videos I only have audio, no video. Hopefully they update it to support all tablets, including the Fire.

That's kind of weird though since I have a Verizon device. It was the only apk that showed up when i searched nbagametimelite
I was just thinking though that maybe it's getting stuck because it's trying to do a location check?

It wasn't for Sprint broaband only but regular one. The Sprint NBA Game Time blocks me just at the beginning, this works just fine
I chatted with customer support and they say that they are working on application for android tablets but they can't tell me when we can expect it though

Could you please upload NBA.TV application too?

The pkg.apk posted works perfectly on my HP Touchpad. When I went to the Market, it stated the app was only available on my Nexus One due to carrier restriction.

The apk.pkg works fine on my Kindle Fire with the amazon OS. was watching the free LP trial earlier

it works somewhat, but I got tons of FCs

I have a galaxy tab 10.1 and I got the app from your link however I can't get any video. I just get audio can someone tell me if they have the same problem and how they fixed it.

I got the same issue!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium

seems kinda hit or miss. sometimes ill get a force close trying to access a video, then ill reload the app and be able to view it fine. works perfect on my phone though.
now, if we just had a workaround for the local blackouts, id buy this.

'This app is not compatible with your device' problem

HI guys, I have 'This app is not compatible with your device' message on 80% of apps on Market.... I didn't use my tablet for 3 month... it was properly working before
Now market looks different and i cannot download most of the apps.
I've tried to clean Market data, but it hangs, and when I reboot i works but issue still there.
I use Vanilla AOSP
What will be recommended action? Thank you

Give this procedure a try.

Thanks!

Thank you but suggested solution didn't work,
What worker is to update to 1.2, then I flashed GTabCombOver 3.4.2, now market works!

Good to see you sorted your problem. I get this error with the game loft data down loaders, the market let's me install them but the game downloaded gives the the incompatibility BS.

I solved this problem by getting a build.prop editor from the marketplace (should be available to most devices) and copied the settings from my HTC Glacier (MyTouch 4g). I can now download everything my MyTouch can. Some apps have minor problems, but most everything works fine. The only thing I can't d/l is the nvidia games, but I would submit that copying the build.prop settings from a phone that has the nvidia tegra would fix that problem.

I'm running the DRH ICS BETA and it has a built in build.prop editor with various selections to try but none have been successful for me, I even tried using the build.prop from my galaxy nexus but it wouldn't even boot.

change your screen dpi to 160 in the build.prop

Which settings do I change? I have the same problem. Apps that work on my Razr, don't work on here. Both are newspaper/magazine subscriptions.
Also, could the same thing be done to fool the Amazon market to think this is one of their tablets?

That doesn't really make sense. Amazon sold a ton of g-Tablets both via Woot! and Amazon itself. The g-Tablet is well-supported on the Amazon app market.

I meant specifically Kindle Fire Apps. This applies to a couple of news subscriptions that are available for I Pad, Kindle fire, but not generic Android tablets.

I found an answer to this problem. I downloaded what I needed on my Razr, did a complete backup with Titanium pro, copied the appropriate app onto SD card, put into G Tablet and install using Titanium pro. Worked great, that way the Market doesn't have to know what device I am installing this onto. The only problem was a notice that the resolution might be off. however, this was no problem.

I am using Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 (stable mod) and haven't found anything in the play store that I can't install. The only problem is using an older version of Google maps is necessary if you want to use maps. CM7 is fast and sips the battery.
