ICS app compatability? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I got my Xoom and rooted and installed ICS straight away, I noticed a lot of applications and games don't work, is this due to not compatible with the Xoom or with ICS? Games like gta 3 crashes and psxdroid don't work, thanks

It's because of ics. Developers have to update their apps to get it working...

Has anyone gotten Modern Combat 3 to work on ICS?

Just downloaded Modern Combat 3 for $0.99 on the Android Market. I am on a NS4g wth ICS. The game installs but when I try to launch it is stuck on a continuous loop of "checking license...". Has anyone with a NS or NS4g with ICS had any luck running this game?
no clue about market but i do have current 1.0.1 powervr version and works fine
thanks for heads up about .99 been waiting for this drop going to go purchase
Do you have force gpu rendering enabled? Try disabling it in the developer options.

Works fine for me on stock 4.0.3 ICS on 9020T.

Working totally fine and smooth on my Nexus
Yeah it's working fine on my stock 4.0.3 Nexus as well!
hmmmm... runs like crap for me. Choppy audio, tons of lag and super long load times make it unbearable to play. glad I only paid 99 cents.
9020a, official 4.0.3, GLaDOS kernel @ 1200 mhz
Bought it. Downloading game data now. Will see if it works well and post.

I bought it. Runs fine but lags a lot and very frequently like it was loading data from sdcard during game. I don't have other applications running in background, and I'm running almost stock ICS (+ simple kernel). Maybe freeing some ram would fix the issue
On I9023 stock ICS 4.0.3 works fine.
Sometimes a little bit laggy, but fine.
I bet it lags more because the SD card reading speed is like couple times slower then on GB.

Works extremely well for me. Its so smooth no lag even on multi player.

For me it lags like hell on stock ICS. I also think it's because of the SD card speeds. How can we get Google to fix this. Additionally, I also suspect that the graphics acceleration doesn't work as well as in Gingerbread for 3D games.
On my nexus s with cm9a18 (ics 4.0.3) it works.
A little bit lagging but it's playable.
I have had exactly the same problem as the OP only on my Motorola Xoom running a 3rd party ROM (Tiamat ICS).
The game ran fine on the HC build but none of my Gameloft games (MC3, Asphalt 6 and GTA 3) runs on ICS but all ran fine on HC. This is the only thing that stands between me and a permanent move to ICS (which runs much better than HC) so I'd love to sort it out.
Let's not play the blame game here okay!
I blame all of you then!
Settle down, I haven't even heard of this game to yet alone try and port it. Is it a paid app? If so I dont think that's a good idea to even take it apart and share.

Hello all,
I recently installed MIUI4 2.3.23 and this game MC3 stopped working for me.Before I had CM9 and it worked perfectly but now when I run it there is just black empty screen and nothing happens.I´m running on kernel T132 muenchhausen.Could anyone help me please? thanks
I have a NS I9023 with stock ICS and I have MC3 installed and it works just fine, no lag, no hicups. It works perfectly.

AARGHH...No GTA3 on ICS?!?!?!?

Getting really hacked off with this now as I've tried both CM9 kang and EOS builds of ICS and both will cause GTA3 to hang after the game initially loads. I then have to manually close it as it just locks up completely.
Anyone found a cure for this cos I need ICS but also NEED to play GTA3......lol
Any help greatly appreciated.
Need? Why is it a matter of life and death? You NEED food and water, you dont Need ICS & GTA 3, rather you would like to have both.
Looks like your SOL as far as having both ICS & GTA 3 and will have to prioritise which is more important, until an update is released.
Im getting a similar issue. The game boots and i can play it for a while, but it always eventually locks up on me. Its the only game that does this for me too. I tried it using several of the Kang ICS builds on my wifi only Xoom.
Tried lowering clock speeds too since i am overclocked.
works fine on the stock build of ICS here
Fudge it, might just roll back to stock and wait for OTA then.....lol

How long have you played the game in one stretch? My game "works fine" for a few minutes too but then freezes. I'm curious how long have you played in one continuous session?
I'm on stock ics longest I've managed is 5 mins of gta. Redownloading the data part as was my old files from honeycomb hoping it works.
Didn't work still freezes.
Just tried gta settings low high mixed nothing helped.

Glad its a recognized issue at least

Not really surprising that a lot of the "high end" games are broken with ICS. I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure there were enough under the hood changes in the OS from HC to ICS that would break games like GTA3.
just installed gta 3 on my xoom. seems to be working fine.
Theres a rooted CWM flashable version of the stock ICS rom around. I think it's pinned in the dev section. I'm running it and all of the apps (games) I know and love (including GTAIII) run beautifully.
Winning!
Just updated GTA3 from the marketplace to version 1.3 and it seems to have been fixed, just played for 30mins or so without a hitch!
Still an awesome game, love cruising round to 'Push it to the Limit', brings back memories!

No problems with the last update and Team Rogue's CM9
I have the wifi only kang cm9 leak installed, along with the latest GTA3 patch and now I don't have lockups anymore. Played GTA3 for one hour, overclocked to 1.4ghz. No problems whatsoever.
Looks like they fixed it.
1.3 for me froze just after leaving the garage at the start of the game - could be because the sd files were from version 1.2?
have uninstalled and removed the sd files and redownloading... not sure if it will help.
sounds like 1.3 fixed it for everyone though
after the 1.3 update....working fine on my xoom and nexus both running ICS. played for 2 hours on xoom no bugs or crashing
No crash?
Anyone tried this on Xperia mini working with ICS ?
I'm downloading it right now to test it

[Q] Does Order & Chaos still work on TF??

I had seen a few threads saying it does not work, but then i saw a few others saying it works flawlessly. I just want to know if this will work or not?
Well either way i will find out tomorrow then when i get my TF in the mail.

Does it work now on your transformer? I've been trying to get it running for several hours now, still without success.
There is one version floating around the web that does indeed work.
Its very hard to find though, and No I wont tell you where, except 'google'
Mind you, it took me 2 weeks to find it. And it doesnt run perfect. The graphic glitches sometimes, and the overall framerate isnt quite as good as it could be.
I also had to apply several tweaks in Chainfire3D to get it running somewhat stable.
works on prime 1.4
I have reverted to prime rom vs 1.4 and order and chaos, monopoly, lets golf 3, sim city, fifa 12 and many others that were previously unavailable all appear on market and install fine. I am currently playing Order & Chaos from market without flaw.
edit: Have been trying various roms such as Prime 1.4r2, 1.6r2, 2.1. It seems android 3.1 and 3.01 all show these games and 3.2 / 4.0 does not. Prime 1.4 uk install has Gameloft netherland as market source all others are just Gameloft
Gameloft doesn't like ASUS, so they all appear incompatible in market. You'd have to edit your build.prop to make market think you have say... a motorola xoom and buy from there. Or get the apk from another android device you have and edit the apk to not check for device compatibility.
I understand the changing of build.prop and have tried many methods to get gameloft games working in the past. I am now using a stock 3.1 nvflash and Order & chaos does indeed show up on the play store as purchased and I can install it without problem. This is without any modifications or hacked apk. Perhaps someone else on 3.1 can confirm this is not just my good luck.
Check your build.prop with prime, something may be different. I'm really reluctant to even look at honeycomb again though xD with ICS so great for me.

[Q] Downgrading from (stock) ICS to Honeycomb

Hi all, So i have a galaxy tab 2 7" gt-p3113 with root access. I need to know how to, if possible, downgrade from the stock ics 4.03 that it was shipped with to Honeycomb. There just arent enough apps availiable for ICS and a lot of them are so buggy I'd rather have honeycomb. Any ideas? If I am not mistaken the process is pertinent to each device and might not even be possible since the gt-p3113 and gt-p3110 are shipped with ics... Hopefully it can be done

nothing to downgrade. ics is stock lowest on these. And I don't see much desire to develop custom roms for an older android system. Best bet just wait it out, ics is new, just like hc and gb were. When they came out apps had glitches too.
I haven't found any apps that give me issues on ICS yet. Have you bothered reporting the apps you're having issues with to let the developer(s) know there are problems? Also, the only way to get Honeycomb would be to build it from AOSP, which likely isn't going to happen.
What apps are you having issues with? I haven't seen any apps having issues with ics.

Yeah ok... i was just hoping. Yes I have been reporting all the issues. Alot of them its mostly it loads to the title screen then crashes and closes. I cant tell you specifically which ones, its happened with a lot of apps, mostly games tho. I just really want to be able to play nova 3 and modern combat 3 and Im having trouble getting an apk and the sd data files...

I've gotten those two games to run and download SD data by modifying my build.prop to match the Galaxy Nexus.. You don't want to run them on your tablet anyway, it was quite laggy when I tried. Other GL games work fine.. like order and chaos, asphalt 6, etc.
ya same nova3 was fine mc3 was super laggy and choppy.... sad day.
would overclocking it help? and if so, what is it safe to overclock it to?

Mc3 maybe didn't run right because it needs some mods. It didn't run right on my phone until they released it officially for it.
not enough ram for ics os
galaxy 2 doesn't have enough ram to run ics and apps too, at least not efficiently. I have sg2 phone and now the tab and I think ICS uses too many resources to allow apps to run effectively too. I see alot of force closes and very laggy performance . I upgraded phone to iCS and hated it. Odined back to gingerbread. May take the tab back because of ics. (Tab has same memory structure as sg2 phone ). I do use GO launcher which I'm sure eats some resources ,so I'll try taking that off and see if there is a vast improvement, but I suspect there won't be .
I've actually found ICS to be less buggy then HC and GB. Maybe your fc issues are caused by something else? Gameloft's non-support for the gtab2 is a known issue, but the other problems could be fixed by fixing permissions in CWM.

Rage of Bahamut on TF101 running Jelly Bean

Hi guys,
Does anyone here play Rage of Bahamut? A friend of mine told me about this game and I sorta wanted to give it a go since I'm a fan of TCGs. However I am not able to get it running here. I can install it and run just fine but for some reason the game says it is not able to connect to the server. Can anyone running Jelly Bean check it out and tell me whether I'm doing something wrong or there is a problem with the ROM I'm using. Do note I can play the game on my phone however poor old Vision runs out of memory quickly
it does work
it does work just the game is very bad on jelly bean it crashes every time.
