[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

.10 Cent Apps Android Market

The Android Market for the next 10 days will be having 10 apps for .10 each.

Not sure if SwiftKey X will work on the Kindle but I bought it for my phone I think it is the best keyboard on the market.

still trying to get asphalt 6 working :-(

I got Minecraft, and it works fine except for some bug that causes the screen to be covered in a "This server has restarted" message. Going to try Chainfire and see if I can fix it that way.

I purchases Asphault 6 also but when loading it says it is not compatible with my device. I looked up the game on the Amazon app store and there is a kindle fire edition... what is the difference, what did they do to make it work?

Weird, I played with my brothers just fine yesterday over Wi-Fi, and worked flawlessly. Not running Chainfire.
There's a Kindle Fire version of Asphalt 6!? Toooooooooo late!

Fruit Ninja is a great game but I already have it and I suspect many others do too.
I ended up buying both versions of Reckless Racing, sort of by accident, but I figured I may as well keep both around in case my phone only works with the regular version. The PLAY version works great on the Fire.
NFL Rivals doesn't work. Launches, goes through loading screens, lets you customize your player... then crashes when you actually get to the gameplay. Looks like a huge number of reviewers had similar problems. Even at $0.10 I got a refund. Backbreaker did the same thing on my phone; it was the free app of the day on Amazon and despite working the day I got it, it hasn't worked since. NaturalMotion must only own one or two Android devices and not bother testing on multiple hardware configurations.
The Christmas HD live wallpaper is actually pretty cool. Haven't bothered setting up the Fire to work with live wallpapers but I put it on my wife's Nook Tablet and she loves it. Highly configurable.

For Apps that do not show in the Google Market, buy them via the market.android.com, then go to My Apps in the Market (on Kindle) and the App will appear. Select the App to download. I did this for Need for Speed Shift and a few others.. Works like a charm.

I'm sure most already know this, but Amazon's doing the same thing in addition to the daily free app.
Amazon $.10 Apps (Amazon Store)

Good idea! Thanks

don't think there are .10 cent apps in amazon market. some apps are 0.99 eventhough in market it is free . Eg. Engadget

[Q] NBA Game Time 2011-2012/NBA.TV

Hi,
I have a request. Does some know how to make NBA Game Time 2012-2012 or NBA.TV app work on kindle fire. I tried through android market but it says that my device is not compatible.
Do you have any advice to solve this problem ?
(If by any chance you have the apk to install this I would really appreciate sending my liknk through PM)
Best regards,

I will ask differenlty ;-)
May someone from US who has access to Android Market, download NBA Game Time 2011-2012 and make backup of it and then post a link to a apk file so we can test if it works on Kindle Fire?
Thank in advance!

I need the app also. I have a dell streak 7 from t-mobile that I reloaded with the streak 7 honeycomb rom. Now the app wont install because it allows streak7 t-mobile but not the wifi that the honeycomb rom is based off of. Its too smart for its own good.

I pulled the APK from my Inc2, and it's odd since it's buried in another spot, not in /data/app.
I tried to install it on my kindle (unrooted) but it would get stuck at the splash screen. Anyways, here's the apk.

Anyone have any success with this?

I will try it at home and post results here

i dont think that will work- pkg.apk is for sprint broadband nba.

The file which was included above do work on Kindle Fire. I didn't try mobile league pass because I'm not in US.
I also istalled NBA.TV app which supposed to be not only for US users and it also works on Fire but it's not dedicated for tablet so for instance I can't login to international league pass because of screen issue.
Hope it helps

I was able to install it on my Transformer, using the above link, as it wasn't in the market for me, or any other tablet user. Everything works ok, except on videos I only have audio, no video. Hopefully they update it to support all tablets, including the Fire.

That's kind of weird though since I have a Verizon device. It was the only apk that showed up when i searched nbagametimelite
I was just thinking though that maybe it's getting stuck because it's trying to do a location check?

It wasn't for Sprint broaband only but regular one. The Sprint NBA Game Time blocks me just at the beginning, this works just fine
I chatted with customer support and they say that they are working on application for android tablets but they can't tell me when we can expect it though

Could you please upload NBA.TV application too?

The pkg.apk posted works perfectly on my HP Touchpad. When I went to the Market, it stated the app was only available on my Nexus One due to carrier restriction.

The apk.pkg works fine on my Kindle Fire with the amazon OS. was watching the free LP trial earlier

it works somewhat, but I got tons of FCs

I have a galaxy tab 10.1 and I got the app from your link however I can't get any video. I just get audio can someone tell me if they have the same problem and how they fixed it.

I got the same issue!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium

seems kinda hit or miss. sometimes ill get a force close trying to access a video, then ill reload the app and be able to view it fine. works perfect on my phone though.
now, if we just had a workaround for the local blackouts, id buy 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.

Hbo Go

Hey guys, from what I understand, the hbo go app used to say this device is not compatible but I recently tried sideloading again using the barebones cm7 Rom which is preconfigured to have a modified build.prop so it can use more apps. So basically it starts up now and I can use it but the problem is that it force closes the moment I click sign in. Is there any solution?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium

It's worked for me on every version of CM7 that I've tried.

I am running CM 9, so of course it is different, but the issue may have to do with the Kindle itself. I spent some time yesterday on tracking down the APK, even going back to earlier versions and it will not run for me at all.

try this it works on my kindle
turn off your wifi
install hbogo
when it ask to connect to internet then turn on wifi
then you can add your user account info and HBOgo works
the only drawback ive experienced is that you have to turn off wifi and repeat this every time you use HBOgo
but it does work for me

Yes, every little bit of info may be useful to someone.

I am not sure if others have had issues with HBO Go since the May 4th update. I started getting the force close and was unable to sign in again. Well I am happy to report after finding an older version of the apk file on this very site - I am up and running again. It is the HBO Go 7 apk file.
Does anybody have an older version of the Max Go apk?
I hope this helps some of you.

Anyone have any luck getting this to run with any of the CM9 ROMs? I just get the not compatible message and nothing else. The trick of turning off wifi doesn't make any difference here.

It was updated recently (last week) and now works with cm9, I was using it today.

Really? Still not working for me. Using the 1.4 version and still getting the "HBO GO is not supported on this device" message. I am on the Reloaded CM9 ROM. Which one are you using? Do you still have to use the workaround from the stock ROM (turn off Wifi, start app, turn it back on)? That also does not seem to work for me.

I used it today as well. I am on hellfire ICS 1.2.

I am using the stock rom but it still does not work

Same problem on my rooted stock ROM. It used to work well until the latest Amazon update.

I am now seeing news stories that say Kindle Fire will get HBO GO app support on June 10 with the start of the new True Blood season. Check it out. Wonder if that means it will work on CM9 ROMs?

This is what worked for me.
