My dad'll be getting an asus eee pad transformer soon, and I have a few questions about apps:
1. How much apps does the honeycomb market have? Are there a lot of good apps(fun games or useful tools)?
2. Will the transformer run android phone apps? And what will happen if I install an apk of a phone app on honeycomb
thanks

This list has become the unofficially 'official' list of apps optimised for Honeycomb.
http://forum.androidcentral.com/mot...al-optimized-honeycomb-apps-list-n-155-a.html
Basically though, most Android apps on the market will work on your tablet and they will automatically stretch to fit the screen though not always perfectly and the odd app won't install or work at all. However on a daily basis now developers are updating their apps to be either compatible with or optimsed for Honeycomb. Just got to be a little patient...

1. Not sure, ~79 maybe 80 by now? That's counting the apps under the Featured Tablet Apps screen. A lot is stretching it, unless the stuff you decide you want ports from the phone to the tablet well, in which case yes there are lots to choose from.
2. It can and will. You will be able to access and install most of the Android Market (Froyo, Gingerbread etc.) stuff, it's still essentially 1 market you just get to see Tablet specific stuff in addition to the phone stuff whereas phones just see phone stuff. If you install an apk of a phone app on honeycomb it will either a. work perfectly, b. work but fit into a phone sized portion of the screen or c. force close (aka, not work at all). There's not much harm in trying. I'd advise you to stick with installing what's visible to the tablet in the Android Market, for now. I'm assuming there's some reason you can't see certain apps in the Tablet Android Market App and I'm confident there will be ports for them all soon enough.
Today the 21th in the Amazon Appstore the free-for-a-day game is Peggle! However, even just trying to see the info, or maybe read the reviews, or look at the screenshots rudely pops up the message Not Compatible... And downloading it from the appstore is of course out of the question.
First, change the title to say Peggle, not Pegger...
Secondly, I just got done playing a few levels on my Tab... With a little know how posts like this wouldn't be relevant... (Like the Plants vs. Zombies post... "OMG!! IT'S OUT BUT IT DOESN'T WORK FOR TAB!!" ... Or netflix... same deal)
The trick would obviously be to make the market think you are on a different device... Changing your build.prop is quite simple (assuming root is in place), and this is what you need to change in order for the market to not think your device is what it really is... Mine was "My Wall" for a while to download Peggle.
Than, just to be safe, fire up Chainfire 3D and load up the Tegra 2/Nvidia driver, runs smooth as butter...
It's not wise to change your build.prop to much because a lot of programs revolve around it (such as swype's configuration/save files)
ALWAYS back up ANYTHING you change in your root folder... copy the build.prop over to your sd card in a backup folder before changing it.
p.s. I'm not responsible nor liable for anything you do to your device because of what you read here... I'm just a conduit of information. I also will likely not help you with any "OMG MY TAB IS BRICKED" posts because of this... If you are brave enough to change anything in your root folder, than you should do your RESEARCH!
I've changed the title, what was I thinking? Anyway, I admit was hoping somebody knowledgeable would know a way to circumvent that message, and tell us.
I have found system/build.prop, but what property did you change in that file to change the model? I noticed a number of GT-P1000's Do all of them need to be changed? You changed it to "My Wall"? Does it need to be that, or is it anything but SGT?
Thanks!
I downloaded it onto my sgs2, and then just sent it via bluetooth to my tab. Works perfectly.(I do have amazon appstore installed on both my devices.)
You are on the right path, I changed the first 3 references (maybe 4) toward the beginning of the file. Please be sure you back the file up unchanged on your sd card. When you've downloaded the game I recommend going back to that original file.
You can change it to whatever you want.

Using the Amazon app store, I added the game on my Vibrant.
Then went to the tablet's Amazon app store and clicked on the install button.
It didnt complain about anything and installed fine.

Yup, there are various ways to trick it into working... I don't have a second device that supports it, so I just did it "the hard way" I suppose.
The initial check is right as you click download... so bypassing it on one device than downloading on another is logical... Kind of like the PSN store and multiple PS3's.
Paraphrasing my comments over at Amazon to add this forum's conversation...
I've got a Galaxy Tab (SCH-I800) and I was being told I can't use this with my Tab. What the hell?? How do you write a game that can't run on a Galaxy Tab?
Anyway, I "purchased" it on the web site using my laptop computer and the Amazon website, went back to the Tab and installed it from my available-to-download apps and it installed fine and it ran just fine.
I've played Peggle on my Xbox 360 and on my Nintendo DSi before as well, but this Android version feels a little sloppy (the opening dialog asking for username is blank, the music doesn't loop properly--it plays out and fades, then restarts--as if it's repeatedly playing an audio track that fades at the end). Otherwise, gameplay works great, zoom-in works great, etc. I don't understand why it's been blocked from installing on a bunch of systems that clearly are able to run it just fine. (another fellow with an Asus eee Transformer in another review had the exact same problem and suggested that way around the block that I described earlier.) Am I overlooking some detail as to why we're being denied this from these devices?
btyork, I'll keep that build.prop in mind, I have a feeling that may come in handy. It wasn't needed this time though, because the other-phone-trick worked beautifully. It worked just like ipnekgs described. I just installed the appstore on the wife's SGS, logged in with my account, and downloaded Peggle on it without a hitch. After that I switched back to my Tab, and Lo!, it was ready for installation on the SGT. Lovely!
I AM intrigued by stoney73's remark... Can you install an app on one phone and then send it by bluetooth to another one? Or just download the app instead of installing it? How does that work, does an installation from the appstore leave a file behind somewhere? I'd love to know where!
Thanks guys!
BTW, I'm not claiming it doesn't run on our beloved Tab, Amazon refuses to install it, claiming it's Not Compatible. In cases like this I always like to try it out myself, to see if the claim is true, as often it isn't. Chuzzle for instance definitely has graphical problems, but perseverance paid off with Peggle, as it runs beautifully, no problems at all so far (though I've played just a couple of levels). I wonder what possesed Amazon to refuse us even to download it. I've haven't seen that one before, and I've downloaded quite a few apps.
'Buying' it from the website and then installing it from 'my apps' on the tab worked here.
It may not be fully compatible with a stock galaxy tab.. I have had zero problem with it running on my tab using overcome hermes and chainfire 3D using the nvidia driver...

Same for me, played quite a few levels with no issues. I have the Alpha HC ROM installed on my SGT
Maybe it's an error. My Tab is rooted, but apart from that it's stock: not flashed, no Chainfire3D, just stock JMK, but Peggle seems to work flawlessly.
It works perfectly fine on the Tab. I have played a couple hours of it with no problem.
I did have to "buy" it from my Nexus One, but then I was able to install it on my Tab right from the Amazon app. The download took forever.

The same has happened with a few android market apps, which then require the workaround, and end up working perfectly.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
ended up finding a download link somewhere, can't remember where now.
completed adventure mode and never had a single problem.
like PvZ though, it's a big install (not so much on the SGT though)
For everyone like me who has been trying to get OAC running on the TF101 dont bother it will not run on honeycomb no matter what device you try to emulate it with in your build.prop
Feel free to prove me wrong.. World of Midgard can't come soon enough
i can confirm this as well, tried many diff models in the builds prop file and no go.
1.01 did work was able to make a character, but upon logging in said i needed latest versian.

My thoughts exactly. Gameloft has been pretty unique for offering almost console quality games for android. By the end of the year, they should have some pretty stiff competition.
World of Midgard can capitalize on this. Cant wait.

My expectation is that Gamelofts' arrogance and guarded attitude toward the progress of development to the wider android community will eventually ostracize themselves from that market. Developers, such as the creators of World of Midgard, that take an open and collaborative approach to their development are noticed and create the precedent. Time will tell.
Bummer. I enjoyed playing this on my TF. Now it says I have to update to continue. Perhaps we'll find another patched apk. Really silly that all that is stopping us is not being on the "guest list". It would work fine if we could side step the device check.

There is hope. Below is an excerpt from a recent email I received from gameloft:
Thank you for your letter.
The game was never compatible with Asus Transformer.
We are aware there are some breaches in the Android Marketplace that allows some customers to purchase games that are not compatible with their device, but unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it.
We do plan on supporting your device, its just that we are not allowed to communicate the official date for when this will be.
As you already know, your purchase for this game has been canceled august 10th.
Should you encounter any other issues with any of our products, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Best wishes,

Guys on the Xoom side of Honeycomb have reported that they can buy OAC 1.0.2 and run it after modding build.prop file. Dunno about the APK's for 1.0.2. I couldn't run it after installing on my Xoom. But then again, I didn't modify my build.prop.

Did exactly what you wrote and it's working! Dude you are my hero! It's a bit laggy sometimes but it's 100% playable. Thank you!
Bugger, I don't have a compatible phone.. the waiting game continues...
This post talks about modifying the build.props file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1219212
I believe it makes your device look like a different one (in the examples, a motorola xoom or acer iconia).
Perhaps you will find this of use for getting this game to work

Yee game is laggy becuse it isn't optimalised for honeycomb. Sometimes is choppy but playable. UI is too big but u can paly... i'm waiting for optimalisation for HC and support hardwere keyboard!
Hey guys,
as my mobile is a Desire HD I had to download Order & Chaos with it. The problem is that this version is not working on the TF. Is there a legal way to get the SGS version? I bought the game from the market.

Passed compatibility check and downloading as I type. The anticipation is killing me...
How do you get these versions for different phones?
So I decided to purchase some Kindle Fire apps for my TF since under device compatability it had the green checkmark next to asus Transformer 101. So I downloaded Monopoly since there isn't a decent port of it available on the Android Market anywhere.
Anyways, app downloads and installs fine, but when I try to run the app I get hit with 2 errors and then the app closes. The two errors are as follows:
"Heap 0 out of memory. Allocating 1048576 bytes but only 499640 available. Increase icf setting [s3e' MemSize" then I click on continue and it gives me
"Bucket 'System' out of memory. Allocating 1048576 bytes but only 499640 available (233636 LFB)." I click continue after that one and the app closes...
Anyone have any ideas? I am running Prime 2.07 with roach's OC kernel as well. There a quite a few Kindle Fire apps available...let's get these things working on our TF's...

I don't have this installed by default so it must be something you installed from the nvidia market thingy?
Thanks sbdags,was wondering because titanium backup has this listed with a line through it just like it had a google chrome item that prevented me from installing chrome.thought it might be something important.But if it's not in your install then it must be from an app i uninstalled.
I have been searching high and low for an answer for this question myself. I don't think it's something that was installed through tegrazone because i never used tegrazone to install anything. It shows up in the list of titanium backup apps just like an app that has been backed up and uninstalled but clicking it reveals that there is no backup of it and it can't be deleted. Flashing a new rom does not remove it either. I managed to track it down with a root explorer app a couple of roms ago and it was a zero size file that i was unable to delete and i cannot remember where it was located, but now i am running your newest updated stock rom sbdags, and if i remember correctly, the file system has changed, and i am having trouble finding it now. Searching the internet for this only gets you this page and a couple other pages in some sort of asian language that are for an lg phone and have nothing to do with our tablet, nor do they make much sense when translated but i have actually lost hours of sleep over this stupid little file so if anyone can help me figure out what it is, how to either get rid of or restore it, or at least get over it, i would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
A string search across the complete ROM finds the string "/data/data/com.nvidia.cap" in /system/lib/libnvcap.so and libnvcap_video.so. Looks like libraries for audio/video capture. What these libraries store in that file is unknown, probably some configuration settings or debug log output.
So why would it show up in tb and does yours show up as a zero size file too?

No i have the latest stock rom sbdags put out a couple days ago with max v3 kernel but i did uninstall that glowball thing. Do you still have glowball on yours?
Edit¦ I went and reinstalled glowball and com.nvidia.cap was still there. It's definitely not glowball.
A search on the internet for what a .cap file actually is can be quite confusing lol. You come up with several different answers, but the one that seems to make the most sense in this day and age and this situation is the one about data packet capturing, seeing as how the governments of the world have decided that spying on private citizens is more important than personal freedom and google (android) is one of bilderbergs most proud constructs.

Paranoid? The file is related to the audio/video capturing libraries. The government and corporate spying is done server side.

I have rooted my TF700 for first time last week. Loaded Titanium straight away. Deleted Glowball - com.nvidia.cap showed up with a line through it - frightened the life out of me "What had I done?". The tablet seems rooted and otherwise good. To my limited experience it seems to be part of games Nvidia and not the main Nvidia systems. I have read the posts on this - most is over my head - I will stay with it and hope to learn!

You can remove the file (as far as I can tell) with Titanium's Orphan Remover, but when you reboot, it reappears.
My TF700T is rooted, but I have yet to unlock the boot sector (and won't until the warranty is expired). Tegra is installed, but most of the other "junk" apps have been moved to user memory and many of these have been uninstalled).
