Interest in testing Vendetta Online for Android?

I'm the lead developer of a space MMO called Vendetta Online. We announced a port to Tegra/Android back in June (see vendetta-online.com/android), and we're looking at doing an "open beta" test-release of the port in the near future (as a directly-distributed APK). Our game port has been entirely developed and tested on Tegra tablets and devkits over the past year. The Viewsonic G is one of the few released Tegra tablets, so I'm posting as a general heads-up and to gauge interest. The game trailer is on our front page, and while the Tegra detail level is dialed down a bit from the PC (on which the trailer was shot), it's actually pretty close.. and impressive on a little tablet (in my opinion, however biased ).
At the same time, I have to express some caution. We've had Malata prototype devices for a long time (on which the G is supposedly based), and there may still be some OpenGL ES driver issues present in the Viewsonic OS image (hopefully improved in the Dec 24th update? Unsure). One historical problem caused the game framerate to be drastically reduced.. let's hope this has been resolved.
I'm also not sure how many touch points the G supports. Our Z-Pad only does two, which is.. not really enough (we use two to fly and then an additional one to shoot occasionally, although you can opt for accelerometer flight). The Toshiba Folio 100 does four multi-touches, which works far better. The latency of the touch-response is also a factor, and entirely device-dependent. I've only used a G briefly, and don't really remember what the response was like. FYI.
Lastly, you should all be aware that we're a pay-to-play MMORPG, and I'm not going to be issuing free accounts to testers (that would make things a lot more logistically complex than I'm prepared to deal with right now). We do have a free trial, and if you make friends with an existing subscriber they can also give you a "friend key" that lasts a few weeks. I'm expecting most people to just tinker using the free trial.
Honestly, this "open beta" is more for non-Tegra devices than for released Tegra products.. we're widely tested on Tegra (both released and un-released devices), and we have a pretty good idea of what issues are out there in some of the OS images. But we have no clue about Galaxy Tabs, Snapdragon tablets or other things in the wild. That all being said, I thought it would be cool to include people from here, and potentially give you something that really shows the capabilities of the Tegra. Early Tegra adopters are pretty starved for content, from where I sit (we have many devices, and little to run on them). Plus, getting more people playing with the tablet version and providing usability feedback is helpful, and XDA-developers is definitely a more technically savvy crowd.
If you'd like to be involved, I'd recommend following our Twitter, Facebook or RSS feeds on vendetta-online.com, or just checking our Android forum regularly. There's no formal process to this testing, no extensive secrecy or signups (beyond making a normal account, and the usual game EULA); we're a single-universe game, so for us this is just "another port" to our existing, live MMO. All accounts can be used across all platforms (currently Mac/Windows/Linux32/Linux64). Our kind of testing is to make the APK available and then listen to what people have to say.
Humm.. we're looking at adding voice-chat support on Android as well, sometime soon. It looks like the G has no mic, but maybe it would work with a bluetooth headset.. no clue really.
I'll try to check back and answer questions if I can, but I'm going to be spending most of my time on getting the Android build ready for a test-release. I'll at least post to this thread when we make the build public.
Happy Holidays everyone.

g tab does have a mic, voice record app works great...see your learning the g tab already!

I noticed market web says android 3.0 only.
Can you pls confirm? Gtab currently does not have a 3.0 port.

It does say 3.0 but also mentions phones, so the text is a bit confusing as written.
If it will run on our current Froyo Gtabs, count me in for testing it out.

I would definitley be interested, and i can test on a tegra 2 and a snapdragon powered device

Sounds good I'll test. Where do we get the apk?

I'll help test, too, if you like.

Vendetta testing
I would test it for sure!

Ive been checking tegra zone on my g tab daily for a release. Unfortunatly i cant download vendetta online from my g tab. I woukd gladly pay a dollar to check it out but cant.
Im really looking forward to checking it out.

Looks like we won't be playing Vendetta until a update comes our way.
From their website...
Vendetta Online for Android released!
Vendetta Online has been released in the Android Market! The game may be installed on any NVIDIA Tegra-based tablet with a 7-inch screen (or larger), running Android Honeycomb (3.0). This includes the recently-released Motorola Xoom.

I am pretty sure anyone running android 2.3 on their g tab can download and play this game. I tried out a 2.3 rom last night and all the tegra games showed up in the market when they would not on 2.2. I am back on 2.2 now and they wont show up.
I could flash to 2.3 and grab it off the market but the 2.3 rom I have is experimental and if I reboot it stops working. If I could get the instal files off and onto my sd card maybe I could run it when I flash back to 2.2
Someone in the comments on tegra zone said that Vendetta Online runs great on the G-Tab.

No one answered the developers ? About how many touch points we have...I know we have two, but we need more than two. Does anyone know how many touch points we have?

i am definately interested in testing it out. Gtab ready to go!

More Devs need to start supporting Bluetooth input devices like wii mote. Tablets don't have buttons and I don't care how strong you are, holding your tab out for gsensor control kills your arms after 20 min. Devs need to jump behind this player adopted input method and offer support within the games. Just a thought.
Online space mmo huh? I will buy in. Hope its like a 3D version of Escape Velocity by Ambrosia software.

I have Samuari 2 running, backbreaker football running, and monster madness running on 4.2.5 TNT lite with no probs. I am worried if i go to 5.0, or GB, i might have trouble playing them! I would give it a shot on this game too, but i need access to a apk!

Advent Vega
Hi I have an Andvent Vega tegra 2 2.2 tablet.
Don't know if you have anyone testing on this hardware, but I'll volunteer if you need one
Thanks

I actually spoke with Incarnate at CTIA Wireless this week and he mentioned the G Tab and support for it. The issue they ran into with allowing it in the market is that it required a certain piece of code that certain OS's don't recognize and thus can't see (I think there were other issues, but I can't recall). He said they're planning to get it working on GB soon, but that unless the G Tab has more than 2 touch points its useless. The game looked pretty good considering its a tablet He was also kinda disappointed on the lack of interest on here Speak up or you won't get Vendetta!

Multitouch problem already has a solution. Key mapping game controls so people can use USB or Bluetooth input devices.
I have been waiting since first post to get some play time with this title but how excited can someone get without screen shots and an apk. Even just a link to a movie of it in action would be nice. OP needs to update original post with screens and game issues so far so the community can give more feedback.

[Q] Best hackable sub-$300 Android tablet?

I'm looking to get my first Android tablet. I've always rooted and run custom firmware on my Android phones, so I need a "cheap" Android tablet with a healthy developer community and a lot of support.
My first thought was to go for the $250 Nook Tablet, spec for spec it's better than the Kindle Fire; but didn't an update come out for it recently that made rooting it near impossible or so highly difficult that it hasn't been done yet?
Then the $200 Kindle Fire came to mind, very popular tablet must mean a very healthy/active hacking/dev community right? But isn't it also locked down in such a way it can't be rooted or modified anymore?
Then I see a $189 Lenovo A1 Tablet at Best Buy with decent specs. It's running Android 2.3 which I'd normally prefer over Android 3.0/Honeycomb but now that ICS/Android 4.0 is out, I'd definately want to run that on my tablet. So is ICS running very good/stable on any sub $300 Android tablet?
I wonder when the $250 Tegra3 based tablet from Asus (or is it Acer...) comes out. Suggestions on which route to go?

My friend has a Kindle Fire, and it's too slow to be called a tablet. It's an E-Reader that can run Apps.
Even the web browser - scrolling and loading pages - is laggy.

Does it run any custom firmware? Or is it 100% stock? The first thing I plan to do is run a custom ROM on it. Even if it's to remove the bloatware and put in a few tweaks, at least it'd be better than stock. My Galaxy S II right now runs a custom ROM based on the factory ROM, so it has full hardware support and such but it's got a lot of tweaks put into it and bloatware removed, etc. the end result is it's got better battery life and runs faster/smoother than any stock Galaxy S II ROM. I'm hoping to get ICS/Android 4.0 onto a tablet, as that's the way to go, but if the dev community isn't quite there yet, then I'm hoping for a custom/tweaked out ROM as a tide-me-over.

He runs stock rooted with Android Market and a custom launcher.
I tested Opera Mobile on it - which uses full hardware acceleration. It was the smoothest browser I tested on the device, but it was still jittery and lagged while scrolling. The GPU and CPU are obviously not that great.

Well it is a cheap tablet new, but I thought it was dual core. Kind of disappointing it's sluggish even with HW acceleration. I just checked the Kindle Fire Android Development forum and it looks like they have ICS/Android 4.0 ROM's for it but the 3 main issues are no HW UI Acceleration; 720p and HD video in general; No bluetooth. I don't care too much for Bluetooth and the 720p video thing isn't that important at the moment (I think), but the no HW UI Acceleration could pose a problem, especially if the CPU is as sluggish as you say.

It is Dual-Core, but it was still laggy when I had tested it. I guess it really bothered me because I was so use to the extremely smooth and fluid iPad 2 & Galaxy S II I own and use day-to-day.
I never tested any custom ROMs, but wish I was able to. It seems to have a lot of popular ROMs and a good developer community.

Moving to Q&A

Sorry about that. Thanks for moving this thread/keeping things organized, I really appreciate what you guys do.
Right now I'm leaning toward the HP Touchpad or the Kindle Fire. Seems CM7 is the better option for both devices and good enough as a daily driver; but CM9 is further along on the Fire than it is on the Touchpad.

I'm in about the same situation.
I vastly prefer the 7" form factor, although I could probably be persuaded to a 10" for the same price range...
Currently, I'm leaning towards the 16G Nook Tablet, mostly because of the RAM advantage it has vs the Kindle Fire.
The fire seems to have a more active dev community, but, once it is rooted & has a working ROM (ICS preferred), isn't that the main thing to be looking for?
However, I am not set on any specific tablet, and am very open to suggestions...

I'm still rocking the original Nook Color. Runs CM7 like a champ, and CM9 builds are showing great progress.

For a thread revival, I figured I would state my final decision & reasons for it, just in case anyone else is looking for similar information...
I ended up going with a Nook Tablet...
I considered the Kindle Fire, but it has 512MB vs the 1G of RAM that the Nook has.
Checking the dev status for the Nook, there is a CM7 running (fairly well, now that I've given it a shot). Once that is 100% (and, in my opinion, it is very nearly there), there really isn't much of a reason to avoid it.
In the day I've had it, I have to say that it has ended up being much better than I was expecting.

check out this tablet

Kocaso M830W 8" Android tablet geeks.com

I hope this isn't the wrong place to post this so if it is, sorry to the mod who's in charge.
Anyone who's in the market for a decent, inexpensive, intro tablet should check this one out. I got mine at geeks.com a few days ago.
First off, and most importantly, it comes already rooted. One of the first things I did was to install Titanium Backup and Rom Manager. I was a little surprised to see that root was checked in Titanium Backup. Once Rom Manager was installed I easily installed Clockword Mod and was off trying out a few other roms.
The hardware is as follows:
CPU: ARMv7 (VFPv3, NEON) @ 1200MHz
GPU: Mali-400 MP (OpenGL ES 2.0)
Screen: 600x800 capacitive touch screen
Add'l items: microSDHC slot, mini HDMI out, mini USB, front facing camera & mic.
You can see the rest of the specs at geeks.com but for the money it's a pretty good little tablet, IMHO...plus comes rooted so no need to research anything or mess around with adb
If anyone has any questions, give me a shout.

kosaco 8"
I have been seeing a TON of ads about these different models of late all very reasonably priced but almost NO real information about them
for example your post is the 1st time I have seen someoen say its an ARM7 CPU.
That being said, I have been working on a GTAB for over a year so kind of lost touch on the different cpu classifications, how would that stack up against an ARM9 or CortexA10?
I've owned several tablets, everything from an Augen to a Pnandtech to 3 color nooks (still in action) to the GTAB that got run over last week.
So now Im in the market. I really prefer the 10" screens (had a Z180 before the GTAB), but the nook is growing on me.
The only 2 things that most ads seem to differentiate between kosaco models for example is the 730's and 760's seem to be 7" screen your 830 apparently is an 8" screen and then the version of android thats pre installed.
I have seen some w/ 2.2.3 and many w/ ICS (4)
Now that youve had a few more days to play can you give us a real breakdown on what your finding?
have you owbned any other tablets prev?
Thanks

any idea on how to get ICS or HC running on this tab? I bought it and it seems like a pretty aewsome budget tab but i was hoping to get a newer version of android running on it.

have you found the makers website?
you mite start there, since they are now selling them on amazon w/ 4 they may have an update

I actually just bout a KOCASO MID-M760 7" Android 4.0 and love it!!!
My only problem is, because there's so little information about it on-line, other than sellers, I can't figure out what to use to root it to save my life.
Which is EXTREMELY frustrating because after I purchased it, I saw that the next model up comes pre-rooted out of the box.
Anybody know how to root this sucker!?
I'd love to drop CM7 on it like I have on my phone.
Thanks in advance to ANYBODY that can point me in the right direction!

Diablotek D2 Tablet Gapps/Play Store/Optimize

Big Lots had this tablet on sale this week for $80. It has crappy resolution(800x480) but does have 1gb of ram and Android 4.0.4 so I would give it a try. Out of the box it didn't support tablet optimized apps or setting so i had to add a line to the build.prop to fix it. Then I just did the usual things ot add the Play store and Gapps. I have the files and instructions if you pick this tablet up and want to get yourself going quickly.

EDIT: Have CWR working. Next is to try CM10

Will try this when I get back intown

My mom asked me about this tablet, After researching I told her this would be a pretty decent tablet for kids. So she picked up a few of these for my nephews for X-mas gift so they will stop fighting for/over hers. This will be excellent to get play, change res & gapps. Thanks for this. I'll post back with results.

i purchased one of these at biglots today and it allready quit working. i didnt try to root it or install playstore. the appstore that came with it was buggy for me and the thing crashed the first time i used the browser. i had to use the reset buton and now it wont boot past android guy so going back tomorrow.
baught another one today. there was a hissing from the speaker. turned it off and it would not turn back on. didn't even leave the parking lot with this one. has anyone else had bad luck with these. should i try again if they get more in

What are the pros and cons of switching the default resolution (big) to a smaller setting?

bought mine a week ago
I just bought mine a week ago, and it is a very nice tablet not for it's price, just a nice tablet. plues are
-wifi, it works very well good range.
-fast enough processor 1.2 ghz plays temple run no hicups, I have'nt had anything acting funny or anything like that.
-muti touch works great 5 points of touch
-USB port, it comes with a mini USB, but has connecction that makes it a full USB port. so far I only tried a keyboard and it worked perfectly ( thats what I am typing this with
-front facing web cam. it works though
-micro sd
3-4 gigs of storage. it saids 4 gigs but I only see 3
negatives
- it did'nt come with play store. I had to install it myself by hooking it up to the computer and getting some script and connecting tablet through ABS or something like that. I'm no expert it took me about 30 min. to do.
-no bluetooth
-no gps
-no fifty core processor
-no camera on the back ( its a tablet it should'nt have one)
all in all I got this tablet for $71 at big lots on sale, and it is normally $80. If you just want a good tablet that will go on the internet, play most games and apps ( netflix,flash,templerun) then you won't be diapointed, if you want a $200 dollar tablet buy a nexus 7

D2 hardware change?
Hello everyone,
Yesterday I picked two D2 Pads on BigLots but I just want to inform that it has been a hardware specification change (downgrade).
Please take a look at the photos I included, but basically the D2 has been downgraded to:
512 MB RAM
1 Ghz CPU
LCD Screen with bad viewing angles!
Also the hardware buttons have been moved from the top to the right side of the tablet, so this clearly indicates it's different hardware.
It's no longer as smooth as the original D2 Pad, but all in all, it's good for kids and the casual web surfer/social network user I guess.
Cheers!
Rayan

Not good.

New Hp Slate 7 Intel cpu 1800la

So my wife comes home giggling about how I'm gonna love this new toy she bought me from her black Friday spending spree.
This is what she brings home,
http://androidcommunity.com/hp-mesq...-on-sale-at-walmart-on-black-friday-20131127/
89$ tablet with an intel single core with HT, and I have to admit it is
really snappy and I'm very happy with the build quality. For 89$ this is a game changer for sure.
So I'm currently trying to root with shuame, no success as of yet. I'm using Koush's generic Adb drivers since Hp has nothing on its own device.
Gets 100mflops on linpack and I will put up more benchmarks later.
If anybody has this device and wants to start please feel free.

I was lucky enough to get the last one at my local Walmart this morning at 7am.... couldn't believe that there was still one left 13 hours later.
I am also impressed with its snappiness and build quality all for $89!
Running into a lot of compatibility issues trying to install apps from the playstore. So I came over here to see what my options are.
I am hoping to maybe follow a similar route as I did with my HP Touchpad, which is still running strong.
Thanks for any info!!

Here is a link to the bench mark test that I ran -

No root as of yet.
I have noticed some apps that say they are not compatible in the market.
I have purchased weather bug elite and it said not compatible, but i downloaded it from a 3rd party and it worked just fine. When I figure out the adb drivers and get a stable root, I'm gonna change the build prop to something more common.

Its right on the heels of the Samsung Nexus 10. If we can get some kernel support we could get some more power out of that intel chip. Hell Kit Kat is 64 bit and this is a 64 bit processor.
Also did you get an ota update?

bought one just earlier from my local Walmart, surprising there was 7 left in the closet.
noticed this is HP Tablet 7 1800 with Single Core w/ Intel Atom Z2460 processor x86,
the one sold most places like Staples are 2800 with Rear Camera and Dual Core Processor cost $30-40 more.
wonder what are the chances Developers will make a Port for Kit Kat for this Tablet 7 1800, which seems to be ONLY sold in Walmart. Different from Slate 7 series

noticed this is HP Tablet 7 1800 with Single Core w/ Intel Atom Z2460 processor x86,
the one sold most places like Staples are 2800 with Rear Camera and Dual Core Processor cost $30-40 more.

Right now we need to work on rooting this tablet so we can mess with governors and such. Also finding an update.zip would also be nice for when we brick anything.
Edit:
I have successfully got the adb drivers to work and can connect to the tablet through adb. no luck with any scripts yet though.

I'm surprised so many people are liking it.

Well it does everything it needs to very well. My only complaint would be the screen is sub par compared to the clarity of my galaxy s3 amoled screen, and the only camera is the front vga one.

Yes sir you exploit is the only working root for this device.
We are running an x86 intel atom cpu so I guess thats why it worked.

I have requested the kernel source, it would be good to get as many people on that forum as possible asking for it.

Crap.... Just saw this Asus Memo for only $10 more, with several better specs

Just picked one of these up. Crossing my fingers that it will be decent and that there is some support from developers. I bet this could be a decent little performer with some governors and ROM tweaks.

You guys should also follow the Razr I here on xda: http://forum.xda-developers.com/razr-i
cause a lot of stuff that is related to our device is also related to yours (because of the Intel CPU)
