Thanks I installed and am playing dugeon defenders very smooth and looks great! Also is there a way around the market saying that this item isn't compatible with your device?

On the thing it side tested on sidekick 4g so idk i works i have ight mode on

Yea dungeon defenders works I was talking about other games like soulcraft thd or any other game in tegra zone they all say isn't compatible and want to know if there's a way around that?

U would have to get the apk file and install it from the phone if its a paid app i cant help u use google
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App

well i can tell ya the tegra an normal versions of shadowgun do not work on the sidekick the phone ends up rebooting in random spots of the game (low memory issue i beleave)

I think chainfire fools the market into thinking you have a tegra based phone, but it doesn't fix the limitations of the graphics chip. I could be wrong, but I haven't gotten many of those higher end games to run very smoothly with or without chainfire. Overclocking helps a bit but not enough to make them playable IMO

Have any off you guys used swapper2?

I have no problems running shadowgun with not slow down or lagging at all.

I tryed all the plug ins and opened market and it still says incompatible for souldcraft THD. If anybody has any other ideas on how to make it work. Thanks for any help!

I wouldn't say shadowgun is laggy for me its actually really smooth up until a point BAM phone reboots >.< done on stock rom an GO v2

The reboots you are experiencing from apps with a large footprint (such as Shawdowgun) are due to the device running short on memory.
Android has a great deal of trouble stopping threads labeled as services. Try uninstalling apps that insist on using services in the background. These services are able to hold on to valuable (and scarce) memory. ALso, be careful of using memory managers to shut down apps without warning. This can leave hanging pointers to memory. Put simply, this memory becomes useless because the Android memory manager (garbage collector) has no idea that it can free the space for other uses.
Constantly killing apps without allowing the OS to do its work will eventually cause the phone to crash and reboot due to issues with memory handles.
You could also be having trouble with some badly coded individual apps. Let's be honest, there is no quality control on the market. There are many poorly coded apps that have memory leaks.
Chainfire 3d is a great idea and a good start if you plan to run an app like Shadowgun on the phone. With the texture size reduced and locked in 16 bit, it can (and does) run without incident on a properly modded KJ2 device.

Have tried anyone to play gameloft games like shadow guardian HD or GTA 3 because I tried with no luck, can anyone help me solving this problem?

You might try changing the phone's id and the OS in the build.prop. You may be able to fool the software into booting up that way. There's no guarantees after that...
I don't consider the Sidekick to be a complete slouch, but it isn't a powerhouse either... and this is Froyo..

[Q] Gameloft games on the gTablet.

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone could give some insight as to why the gameloft games (ie. asphalt 5, Dungeon Hunter etc.) will not work on our devices.
I was guessing it has something to do with the tegra chip however, these games can run on my droid eris. I dont believe it has something to do with sdcard/sdcard2 issues, as I have tried both, on multiple roms.
Yes, I am aware that this device is not supported on their website, but again neither is my eris.
I think it has to do with the lack of open gl es driver support, as some 3d games work and others don't
gator I think you're correct. The games all load for me and look great until the actual game play starts and then it's all solid colors and crazy blocks.
hmm that is weird because i cant even get them to load.

well there is the problem.
they arent in the market for some reason (coughcoughapplecoughcough)
apparently they wont put the games in the market but you can go to their website and get them. only problem is they ask you for your carrier and phone info and send you a text with a link to a download place.
basically you need a phone to get it.
apparently other people have gotten them through less than legal means. which i can understand because of the hoops you would have to jump through to get these apps.

Modern combat 2

I saw this game in the market, looks awesome, but I read a review that it's incompatible with the g2x. My question is, does modern combat 2 work on this phone. I really want to buy it.Thanks.

I tried buying out from the game loft site but had technical difficulties so I just bought our from the market.any way it works although I bought out because of the gyro controls.how am io suppose to enable it?
i would suggest anyone looking for gameloft titles to go the gameloft.com FROM YOUR PHONE. you can 1)charge to your phone bill 2) there's a buy one get one free sale 3) if you buy via the sale... they're cheaper than buying regular (ie.. buy NOVA standalone is 4.99.. purchase on sale it's 2.99 PLUS a free game). I spet 12 bux and got a ton of great games that all work on the g2x. BUY THESE GAMES. Support gameloft so they can stop being punks and GO INTO THE MARKET FULLY.

That sounds great and all........but what about for us addicted with flashing ROMs. My experience with Gameloft.com in the past, is as soon as I switched ROMs I could no longer use the game because it was purchased under the previous ROM. I don't know if things changed, but it seemed Gameloft used to have their games on lock down pretty well before. If things have changed and we can use the same .apk throughout multiple ROM swithches, then sweet I'll be all over it. So let me know if anyone has tried purchasing these games off of Gameloft.com and tried using them after flashing different ROMs.
I use titanium backup to restore em.. no problems what so ever chief. I just flashed back from CM7 (2.3) to stock today.. picked up right where I left off.
Also make sure you keep you're APKs in case you need to reinstall. secondly.. i read somewhere yesterday (and tested it) Gameloft lets you redownload apps as long as you can log back in.

Sweetness!!! That sounds awesome. Guess now that I think about it I never used TiBu in the past to restore my games because I used to have problems in the past. This was from my N1 times. LOL! Ok, though, thanks a lot for your response, that's exactly what I wanted to hear.
just remember if you switch from stock to cm you have to copy the gameloft directory over. (needs to be on external sd for CM7 and internal memory for stock).
EDIT: also.. i tried downloading some games I purchased on my G2 and got a "this is not an orginal.. bla bla bla" error. Hopefully they're working on it.. doesn't look like "cross device" installs will work. they're still device specific.. but cross roms is works with titanium
yea btate sometimes when i switch roms i go to titanium to restore some of my games n i get the error ur talkin about
really? that's odd.. i just flashed CM7 again and restored via titan and all is peachy (wanted to fact check so I didn't mislead anyone). However reinstalling with the APK.. that's a problem. Titanium solved that issue for me.
which games were you trying to run? i darn near have them all so maybe that issue could be game specific? (i didn't run each one. just spot checked 2 of them)
Also.. make sure you're copying your gameloft directory to the right place.

Ah ok good stuff. Yeah I remember the games always making a Gameloft directory folder on the external sd. I'll remember to copy it over. Right now I'm on EB1.0.4FR, so I'm still pretty much on stock ROM. But yeah, I can understand when you try to play a game you downloaded for a previous model phone on your new phone that it gives you that bullcrap error. BAH!!! Oh well! Hopefully they fix it, but I won't get my hopes up. LOL!
nova and nfs shift and sometimes it says something about a copy???
were they originally purchased on the G2X? like i said.. i can't get any of the games I purchased on other hardware to run.. but I can anything I purchased on teh G2X over different roms... at least starfront is working. I am starting to have a sinking feeling that I should just insert foot to mouth. i'm going to switch back to stock momentarily and double check this. oy vey.

This is why I refuse to buy games from Gameloft.
just confirmed. starfront DEFINITELY works across different roms. restored from backup on CM7... played fine.. just went back to a nandoid stock rom.. playing now.. picked up right where I left off. mileage varies i guess
well.. going forward, theoretically the ones you guy from the market should work accross devices.. which is why i'm suggesting everyone support and show gameloft YO.. GET YOUR BEHIND IN THE MARKET! maybe my thinking is backwards.. but I want gameloft to know that the android community supports them and we're willing to pay if they get off their behinds with that awesome catalogue of games.

[Q] Order & Chaos Online officially supported

WELL,
I jumped onto the marketplace this morning to find that order & chaos online is now officially supported on the TF101. So I download it but on bootup it still says the device is unsupported... WHAT GIVES?
I went to get a refund but the app didnt show in 'my apps'.. grrrrr
Ive sent an email to android marketplace but no response yet. I called Gameloft who confirmed that there is still no support for this device.
Has anyone else come across this?
NOVA 2 is also listed as supported but not game to try !!!
dont see it in the marketplace
Not listed here either
Strange. Mine shows on the app and online marketplaces???
It's turned into an interesting fight between google and gameloft in that one suggests the other should provide a refund. Gameloft maintain that their apps are unsold to google thus it becomes their responsibility. Google state that the apps are maintained by gameloft and the marketplace is used more as a vehicle rather than a retailing. Im tending towards googles take.
Anyway, they both suck !!!
I'm not quite sure that it's all about a fight between gameloft and google, because, apps like order & chaos or available for other devices then the TF101.

Order and Chaos can be made to work by using a Titanium backup from another device.
The game runs fine, except once it see's you are on a Transformer it doesn't even try.
The Titanium backup has all of the files needed to run and places them in proper folders and skips the device check.
I have Order and Chaos on my TF and am like a level 6 now (I haven't played in a while because my internet at the hotel is balls)
O&Ch workong on TF =
= Backup of ex. SGS version - Titanium Backup -> Copy 3 files (backup) to TF -> Copy SD cache for ex. SGS version to TF -> Restore backup of O&Ch on TF -> Play the game....
No support for dock...only writting, low preformance on 1,5Ghz ......I deleted this game ...and i'm waiting for version that is optimalizet for tablets with honeycomb.
yeah. Shouldn't have to jump through hoops.
If someone can help me solve this problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216779 we should be able to buy it directly from market + get updates/etc and buy other gameloft games too. (As long as they don't check for IMEI number, which we don't have for obvious reasons)

[Q] N.O.V.A. 3 on samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1?

Ok, so I have searched as hard as possible to find a solution or reason as to why N.O.V.A. 3 will not run on my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. There are videos of it working on YouTube and even some of the app reviewers in the market are using it as well. I open the game, Gameloft appears, the main screen pulls up, and dialogue box in the middle of screen says "Your device is not compatible with this game. Please request a refund." All i can click is "Ok" and it closes. Has anyone else experienced this
My SGT 2 10.1 is rooted using Weltwon's method and Superuser
I have same problem with my SGT 2 7"
I have repeatedly tried uninstalling the app AND deleting the Gameloft folder each time.
I would attempt calling for a refund but I'm pretty set on getting this to work with my Sixaxis
By the way my model number is GT-P5113
No help/ideas from anybody?
The gtabs do not include sqlite3, but some custom ROM's do. Maybe they'll fix your problem.

Hi, I'm having the same problem with Galaxy S 3.... The device is rooted and youtube is full of people playing the game on SGS3... yet downloaded the game tonite and got the dreaded "your device is not compatible".... to add insult to injury the market place doesn't even give me the option to request refund.
Anyone know of a hack to make the game playable ?
I'm a recent convert from IOS, and am used to everything just working, bit of a supprise to have so few games actually work on the SGS3..... nice to be free of itunes though
Mod edit: Warez are not allowed. Don't suggest it again.
Suggesting people to steal an App is a sure fired way to get banned around here... Just saying. Great write up other than the fact that you won't pay $6 for a great game.
Oh you misunderstand. I would pay for it if i could trust me, but its NOT availiable for my tablet so the only way to get the app (for me) is to do it this way. Once its availiable in the play store I'll buy it cuz i really love gameloft games. and btw i just tried doing the pay thing and it doesnt work
**Note to people using this method -- Dont use it to get around for paying for the game!!!!
-- Also I would change your build.prop back after you are finished.
So I've been busy and missed all these posts. Please let me remind the Mods that i have paid or this app, im just looking to see if a solution is possible. I did just read another thread about Gameloft games not working in general with the tab 2 7 and/or 10.1. I suppose I will wait for updates...
Sent from my GT-P5113 using XDA
idk if gameloft will release an update for a while. I emailed them (as have many others) and it doesnt seem like it will be availiable the normal way for a while
Just an update. I have been back and forth with gameloft. After explaining the problem, they sent me a "fresh" download link for the game. I uninstalled the game and deleted the gameloft sdcard folder. I then installed using their link. Gameloft "G" appears, then the NOVA 3 screen, then a new message appears: "A problem occurred and the download could not be completed successfully. Do you want to restart the download? An unstable network may cause problems when downloading." No matter how many times I click YES, reinstall the game, restart my router, or restart my tab, it continues to show this message.
Once again, I notified gameloft and am waiting for a reply.
Just now I realized the file name sent to me from gameloft is "NOVA_3_Paymium_HD_Samsung_GTP5100_android.apk". Maybe its the difference between a GT-P5100 and my GT-P5113?

Poor TF700 app support: Nexus 10 era

From the release of the Infinity, there has been low compatibility with apps and especially games. Some have said it is related to lack of developer support for the high res screen. Others have suggested the Nexus 10 will force developers into support for the new generation of where's-those-pixels tablets.
Both Skype and Rock star announced tablet optimised app releases in the coming fortnight (the latter for Vice City). The TF201 is on both compatibility lists but no Infinity. Is this deliberate? Or did hardly any Infinities sell and hence support for it make no business sense? In addition I don't see many EA or Gameloft releases, both old and new, supporting our machine.
Perhaps I'm being impatient and this is just the early adopter first world problem. Or maybe it's another reason to jump ship to the N10.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Not just the TF700. The Note 10.1 has the same issue. As does pretty much every other HD tablet.
They work fine. I've got nearly every supposedly 'not-compatible' game running, no issues...
The thing is this. Devs made their games in a low res. They're too lazy to re-release the games with a higher resolution. (adding the infinity to the list won't change the ingame res, it'll still be upscaled.)
All they have to do is update the texture packs, but they simply won't. Of course not,
EA has always been too arrogant for customer support. (Don't believe me? The EA Master Server was dead every day in BF2, and they haven't changed anything, not even a cable, 8 years, 7 Triple-A games and 9 expansions later. The Master server still erases profiles&progress nearly once a day, fails twice a week completely and crapped out on the release night of BF3 and stayed down for almost 3 days...)
Gameloft is Ubisoft's mobile section, so that speaks for itself in terms of a completely non-existent customer support.
To be fair, though, Gameloft has a decent amount. EA is just an arse:

Please clarify. There's a hundred ways in which you 'can't download'. Error? Doesn't start? What?
I side loaded most of my gameloft games that's not available on the market and they work fine. Some games however will have smaller menu screens or smaller on screen buttons. An example is wild blood. Come to think of it's that the only one I recall right now. EA games however, you get a server error when games open. With the exception of NFS Most Wanted. It can open but plays slow. Like playing in slow motion. Theres a mod to make it faster though. Glu games are all available. Most other apps are too.
On nexus 10 almost all the games for gameloft, EA are available from the market and all work without issues. Once exception is wild blood is not available but can be side loaded but buttons are even smaller and menus are blank. So really not playable. Most other apps are available too.
It maybe a matter of not being able to test their apps so they dont make it in the compatibility list? But it does suck that tf700 out of the box is not supported by most. Seems like its the misfit of all the devices due to its unique screen resolution.

Yup. Pretty serious, too xD. Used to be in a clan (before we all parted ways), was clanleader for almost a year, as well as led several division. Even played in the ESL and Clanbase finals for SWBF2, BF2142 and FEAR. (we won swbf2 several times :highfive: )
Been out of it all for a while now, though. Too little free time, and the games are too bloody expensive (And there's no fun in it anymore, all those kids and aim assist.. (we used to call it aimbots, and they got you permbanned..... now it's part of the game )
Aaaand we're off topic again xD Oops...
With the increase of 1080p phones in the next year being announced, I would expect that app developers would start to catch up with high resolutions. It's always been a matter of time.

When you launch the game it needs to download additional files, when you click to do so you get error 5002, I called EA about it and they never called back, just look at the reviews for the game filter to tf700 and you'll see what I'm talking about.

That's a resolution-not-found error.
Basically, it means the installer can't find the files related to the device's resolution. (Evidently, as they don't exist.) You can call them until hell freezes over, it's not going to be resolved.
There's only one way around that, and that is to download and install the SDdata manually. There's plenty of sites that offer them. I don't think it counts as illegal to manually download the data if you already paid for the .apk in the playstore.

That's a resolution-not-found error.
Basically, it means the installer can't find the files related to the device's resolution. (Evidently, as they don't exist.) You can call them until hell freezes over, it's not going to be resolved.
There's only one way around that, and that is to download and install the SDdata manually. There's plenty of sites that offer them. I don't think it counts as illegal to manually download the data if you already paid for the .apk in the playstore.

I redownloaded nfsmw to my htc one s, tried moving the sd data over via copy and paste and that didn't work, if you could pm me the work around that would be awesome. TIA

Same issue, same result. Not able to copy data from my S3 for this. Any solution?
My result with NFS most wanted is sideloading the apk from my s3 worked fine and it downloaded the data when I opened the game. Game is in slow motion however.
For NBA jam or Mass Effect when I transfer the apks and open the game I get an error. I copied the SD data also but same error on Mass Effect and on NBA jam the screen just flickers with the NBA jam logo.

I have nba jam on my tf700 and I downloaded it directly from the market when it came out, works fine too.
Edit: Oh F Me, I must've not downloaded the extra files, now I get the server error 5002 crap. I am just about done with this, either google steps up, takes a hit to make customers happy and apply some rules to the market, or people are going to start to leave the android tablet market and seek refuge with apple, at least we know they have rules for supporting their devices. I know, I know- itunes, evil apple and closed system, but I am willing to live with that but I would be able to download and play every game on their market without worries that my device would be incompatible for years to come.
GOOGLE GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND FIX THIS, IT'S BEEN AND IS GETTING WORSE, NOT BETTER!
I wouldnt necessarily blame google though. They have set of guidelines that if followed, apps should upscale correctly to fit larger resolution screen. Devs are just lazy and unfortunately some of them don't support tf700.

I do blame google, they allow the apps on the market without trying to hold the devs accountable to following the rules. why have guidelines if they aren't going to be enforced in any fashion. Sure, our devices were the first to hit the 1080p resolution in the Android market, but **** none of the big players are interested in supporting it. Even if they say they support it they really don't. As an example, you can buy need for speed for the infinity, it says it's compatible in the market, you can download the base files, but your f'd trying to download the additional files needed to play. ow whos fault is that? Google for allowing it to happen or EA for even allowing the base file to be downloaded? In this case, it's both parties, but when it comes to overall compatibility it's on googles shoulders for not enforcing some sort penalty.
It really doesn't matter what I think, they got my money and I'll make sure I don't fall in the shame on me catagory.
Oh and the Zen pinball not compatible issue, they turned it back on for the tf700 after I had a nice conversation with them about it not working. I will cut and paste my emails and their responses. BTW it all happened in a 30-45 minute window.
This is how devs should respond to issues with their apps.
This is me emailing them about the problem with Zen Pinball after the latest update.
"Hi,
I am a little more than frustrated with your company right now. I had this game running perfectly fine before the latest update, which broke portrait mode, so I figured I would un-install it then re-install it to see if that would fix the issue. Low and behold my device is NOW INCOMPATIBLE, which is a crock of you know what, it worked great before this last update. My device is a tegra 3 device, this game is marketed as a tegra 3 game with enhanced visuals, my daughters FUHU NABI 2 is compatible, a friggin kids tablet is compatible but my $600 Infinity isn't? Pleae send me the old apk so I can play one of my favorite games again.
Thank You".
Their response,
"Hi Cris,
Thank you for your email. We are aware of the issue with portrait mode, and will be issuing a fix shortly.
I am not sure why your device is now listed as incompatible, but I will look into this right away.
These updates are tricky, there always seems to be issues that we could not test for, or weird settings that we need to look at in the Google Store."
My response back,
"I appreciate your timely response to this problem, I contacted google play and they looked on the blacklist and the infinity is listed on that, just an FYI. Once this issue is resolved can you please email me and let me know because it really was my favorite game on the market.
Thank You."
And their response,
"We are turning the device back on momentarily. Portrait mode will not work yet, but should work soon as well. Apologies for the inconvenience."
Talk about easy, I mean they gave personal responses, not canned, looked into the problem and made available again in less then an hour. This is great customer service and in turn make me want to buy more of their games.
Edit:
More information from Zen Studios
Hi Cris,
The device was turned on about an hour ago, but could take up to an hour longer to reinstate. Please let me know if things continue to not work for you a few hours from now.
