[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

[Q] Order and Chaos (gameloft) ?

Gameloft just released Order and Chaos online for Android and I was wondering if anyone has tried it for Transformer yet?

I just searched for it on the Google and Amazon markets and didn't see it.

Market link: Order & Chaos Online

it starts then it says:
"your device is not compatible, please request a refund"
edit: just found a tegra 2 version. going to try it out.
Nope, not working. Someone said it works on the Acer Iconia A500.

Dude, you have to report if you got it working ! that looks like awesomeness =)

Maybe someone could try editing their build.prop to make it work? I purchased it on the market and it works on my Captivate. I saw a thread on the gameloft forums where it is working on Gtablets. I installed it on my Transformer but get the error message that it isn't compatible even though I downloaded the tegra 2 resource files and put them where they need to go. If a simple build.prop change could fix this that would be fantastic. I'm not rooted and left the cable at work so I can't root to try it. However if anyone rooted gets it working I will definitely be rooting. I was hoping that after purchasing it on my phone it would show up on my Transformer under uninstalled purchased apps but no go

no go. Tried the build prop from lg optimus and acer iconia tab. stil says device not compatible. I dont get why gameloft wouldnt make an effort to have this tablet ready on launch.I guess its honeycomb. Im so disappointed. I doubt they wil ever add tablet support. They are pretty lame with updates

oh how I want a fix for this. Until then I'll use my thunderbolt but this would be so much better on a 10.1 inch screen

There is an "AllDevices" version now available which install, updates and runs to a point.
I managed to create a new character and accept the first quest before getting a FC.
Haven't tried further so far but going to give it another go.
The screen doesn't seem to quite fit, a small portion appears to be lost at the top.
Managed to complete a few more quests before the next FC.
FPS looks sparodic and like I said the screen isn't quite right, some text missing from top of pop up windows etc, buttons take a couple of presses to register sometimes but all in all looks a good game and quite playable without the FCs.

nice, did a search for "all devices version" loaded my char up and I've had no isuues so far

What rom/kernal/version of honeycomb are you using? I installed it and it force closes after about a minute in in game

How do you get the all devices version or tegra2 version or whatever, should I just buy from the market? Wanna try this out

I can't manage to get this to run without force closing after a few minutes. Ice it doesn't force close for you?

Not working (well) for me either on gt10.1. Rooted just so I could edit the build.prop, but none of them seem any better. Top ¼ of the screen is cut off and force closes after a few minutes. I got the the backend files from - mobile phone talk dot com.

[Q] SimCity Deluxe on Xoom Family Edition

Does anyone know if SimCity Deluxe included on the new version of the Xoom will work on the Transformer? Has anyone found it on the market or anywhere else? If EA has an android version, why is it not available? I'm sure there are a lot of other tablet owners that would pay for it.

Well, i did test 1.5.7 which I found on some random website, and it force-closed. if anyone else finds an apk or more info, please let me know.

This is driving me crazy, I just saw that the T-Mobile Galaxy Tab 10.1 was also supposed to come with Sim City Deluxe:
http://www.androidcentral.com/t-mobile-announces-pair-tablets-springboard-and-samsung-galaxy-tab-101
Has anybody actually seen Sim City Deluxe running on an Android tablet? Why would EA port it but only bundle it instead of selling it??

It runs great on the transformer. You can download the library file and the apk file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316922, and it should work fine. I have tested it on my unrooted Transformer.
It is the same version as the ipad. It takes a long time to load, but it is pretty snappy once you are in the game. I have no idea why ea isn't selling it in the market. It is not like them to not want to make some money.

your link doesn`t seem to work for me, could you post a new one? i would realy like to play simcity on my TF.

Looks like the end of the link got cut off:

There is no need to install all that extra stuff if you don't want it. You don't need the lib files from the zip to make Sim City work. If you extract Sim City fro the zip, it installs just like any other app.

FYI, SimCity Deluxe is now available on the market too ($5): https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ea.simcitydeluxe_na

Works fine on the Transformer.

Yup, looks like they finally put it on Android Market.

Stupid of them to wait so long! Just makes people figure out how to pirate it.

Hmm,
Bought it on the market now. But it only show white spots instead of the city.
Tried to start a scenario and its the same. Anyone else experienced 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.

[In Progress] Hacking the Optimum App for Kindle Fire

Cablevision recently released the full Optimum app with streaming capabilities, but it has only been released for the Kindle Fire. Since the Kindle Fire runs Android, it should be possible for the application to run on any other Android device. This thread will be the attempt at modding the Optimum application to work with all Android devices (2.3+).
Optimum App Download:http://www.mediafire.com/?169999r49rv15q9
Currently Known:
Application asks for root upon opening
Some devices can open and run the app successfully, but must log in and out every use. If not, data must be cleared for every use.

Trust me I know how you feel. I work for them as a technician and Ive thought about learning android development just work on things like this lol. But iOS is more supported at pretty much every company more than android.

Might be a silly question but have you tried Modding your build.prop to match Kindle fire and try running it?

I have tried on my CM9 Evo and CM9 Iconia A500, and in both instances the application works (sometimes I have to wipe data, sometimes it works flawlessly).
The point of this is to modify the application itself, without touching the device files, making it work with almost any version of Android (Gingerbread and up because that is the Kindle Fire version).
So far, I haven't come up with much in the past few days. I'm still looking though.
Also, my thoughts on Cablevision:
I think Cablevision is actually one of the "good guys". They have cheap plans, fantastic service, and they really do want to help their customers. Their TV service is great, and it offers a lot of fantastic channel choices. The Internet is really good, as I always get at least 25 up/down with very low ping (I do enjoy gaming).
I don't like the fact that they haven't come out with a streaming application for Android yet, but it is obvious that they are making progress. I do like watching TV on my laptop, and it is nice to know that I can watch it on an iOS device if I ever get one again. The fact that they have an application for an Android device just shows that they are very close to a full Android release.

I changed buildprop values to resemble kindle fire. It didnt work on my SGS3 stock ICS neither on my toshiba thrive stock ICS

Nice to hear! I love working for them. I used to work at Comcast but I lived in cable vision territory so I thought why not do the same job and get free service lol. They are definitely putting for effort in trying to offer the same experience for both iOS and android. I've been bugging them since I started and I might pursuit the development side. Maybe I can find out more when I am back in on monday .

Any chance to get it working on an "ASUS Infinity"

I would try to help you guys out but all I have is a Kindle Fire.

Sorry for not update everyone. In this case, no news is bad news. I got very frustrated with working with the app on Thursday, so I will resume my work on Monday. So far, I have made no progress. I will start to reach out to some actually successful application modifiers soon to get some real help if I can't figure it out myself.
Thanks for being so patient.
