My SGS2 is running on Juggernauts 5.0 ROM.
I been trying to download some of the free THD games from Nvidia Tegra Zone and see how it runs on my phone. I've done this before with no problem on my HTC G2.
I googled and downloaded the Galaxy on Fire 2 THD apk because I cannot download the free original apk from Tegra Zone due to the fact our S2 is not a Tegra device. I have Chainfire3D installed with the proper plugin too, but when I try to install the .apk it prompts that I am out of space and tells me to delete some items and try again. I've checked and I have over 7GB free space and additional 4GB in SD slot + I can install bunch of other apps just fine.
I tried googling for an answer but no luck. Since the game is free in the first place, this wouldn't break any rules? If it does just please and go ahead and close this thread. Or direct me to a different thread with the same issue would be nice

If my HTC G2 Desire Z could install and run it(barely), I would think this Samsung galaxy s 2 would be able too though.
But ill look into it.

This is not specific to Inspire but anyone has bought games from the Gameloft store? What is your feedback about that? I really want to buy them but scared about the reinstall DRM policy. As expected I change ROM's every week so I was wondering if that matters while reinstalling the games. I bought Asphalt 5 from market which I can reinstall easily. Also I heard that Gameloft games may come on Amazon store?
I do by games from the gameloft website off my inspires web browser. Once it downloads I connect my phone to my computer and copy the .apk over to my computers HDD and I use the Sideload Wonder Machine to install it onto my phone. I have like 6 gameloft games on my phone and its NOT rooted.

But can you reinstall after a full wipe? Is there a limit to how many times you can reinstall? I did read the FAQ on the website but wanted to confirm from actual users.
I rooted and uprooted like 20 times, lol. And because ur reinstalling the .apk on the same phone yeah I have been able to replay them. As long as u r using the same phone.

LOL. Yea I will be using the same phone.
Thanks for the help.
Keep a copy of the apk on ur computer and when the game installs the big files to ur SD card which u can keep on there so all u need to do is just reinstall the apk of the game and ur good to go!

This is exactly what I do as well. I got Dungeon Hunter 2 this way. I'm unrooted, there's no need to mess up something that's already perfectly fine
Cool. So i bought my first android game which is Modern Combat 2. Thanks to your feedback.
Inspired from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
I bought Gangstar: Miami Vindication and have had no problems with the game.
+1 to what everyone else here is saying though, backup the apk to your PC
Has anyone noticed that almost no new hd games are compatible with the sensation? For example, when I go try to find the asphalt 6 apk file multiple sites say it is incompatible with the sensation. Also, how do I download.apk files in the default browser instead of html files?

Asphalt 6 and Rainbow 6 look very nice on my device. Still can't get Fruit Ninja to play correctly. I believe it's a resolution issue though
I just finished playing asphalt 6 on my phone and it runs awesome

If you BUY it it will be on Gamelofts website at http://wapshop.gameloft.com
Because we all know we wouldn't ask for warez on a developers forum...right?
Modern Combat 2 looks amazing on the display btw
Buy the games that are supported for this phone and they will work fine. they have eight so far thats for the sensation , If you bought games for a different device in the past they will sent you a link to download them for your current device and if they don't have a certain game you can get something else our wait
wait so the reason therent arent that many hd games out for the sensation is because it just recently came out right? not because it is not powerful enough
I have an SGS currently but getting a Sensation in the next day or two. I have bought a ton of Gameloft games, will I be able to run these or need to contact Gameloft to get new APKs? Or do I need to pirate games that I own?

If you dont mind asking what version of Modern Combat 2 is for the sensation ?
thanks

i just finished calling them and they sent me all of the games i previously bought except the ones that i havent seen in their site though.
edit: the version they sent me is 1.0.1
My problem is that I wasn't sent invoices for all of the games I purchased through their website. I also have been given free games Eternal Legacy and Lets Golf 2 by them because NOVA doesn't work on the SGS Gingerbread firmware.
sorry for bumping this old thread,
GT racing is for free on the gameloft website, just click on the "samsung galaxy S2" when they ask for what kind of device you have (I got the game using a download link by SMS) the game works perfectly on my HTC sensation XE with stock rom (much better graphics then asphalt 6 in my opinion)
have fun guys!

Well this is a bummer. I upgraded from Atrix to Atrix 2 and just today I realized that I can't install any of the Tegra2 optimized apps obviously cause of the OMAP chip instead of the Tegra2. Well that sucks. We have a nice powerful phone with a beautiful display but stuck with low-res games.
Yea tell me about it
THD is an Addiction like drugs , once you get a taste of it , you are hooked for ever
Once you go Tegra , You can't go back ...
I've an OG Atrix & I love it
When RockStar Games announced Grand Theft Auto III 10th Anniversary for Android & IOS , I got Waaaay toooo excited & happy , simply because the OG Atrix is one of the few phones supported
Give it time every phone that I have Owned that Does Not Have Tegra Chip can get a Hack to Run the games so having Tegra is semi sorta mute point considering the Hack fakes the games into Running on the phone and there really is No degradation either.

It works for lg thrill, and sgs2, should work for Atrix 2.

Use Chainfire 3d and then install the nvidia plugin, then run tegrazone using nvidia plugin.

Nvidia plugin. You mean nvidia Tegra zone in market? Or what.

There is an actual plugin. I'm still hesitant to install chainfire. I'll wait till there is a way to recover from a bad install anyone else tried and succeed?
I installed it. No problems here. Just need nvidia driver.

Download Chainfire and install, then use this plug-in, you'll have to get the paid version.
I found the pro version. Installed it. Worked. Installed BioBall and Jenga. Works great!! Jenga is so rich with 3D!

Interestingly enough if you flash a T989 ROM all gameloft games work fully but on skyrocket firmware virtually none of them show up.
The older ones that show up in market on skyrocket install but say not compatible.
The legit APKs from gameloft.com for gt-i9100m (my last phone) all install and work fine in either t989 or i727
I think they need to add some ident string to make it work...but they are just lazy and/or don't care about customers once they have their money.

It's just Gameloft. They're anal about only allowing officially supported devices to play their games at at the same time ****ty about adding devices to that list.
If you're rooted, make the following changes to your build.prop:
ro.product.model=SPH-P100
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
That'll get you past the compatibility messages. If you want more games to show as available in the Market, let me know and I'll post the build.prop edits for that too.

You can play shadow gun on this phone. The non thd version. As long as you have the same email on both your phone and tablet, you can just purchase it once and install on both devices. The thd version is only for tegra 3.

Dead trigger is a pretty awesome game to add to your collection, and also look for critical strike portable, it's counterstrike for android. Both are free btw ( dead trigger is free, earn gold by installing crap apps run them once and un install)
