Is it just me or does the market not let us download a lot of apps because of supposed incompatibility? There have been many apps that i hear about but when i go to the market to download it, it can't be found.
A couple of times i have tried installing an app through the browser and it brings up a list of devices to send it to. My old phone, Samsung vibrant, will be green on the list, but this phone well be greyed out and i will get an incompatible message if i try to select it. It is frustrating that i have the most powerful phone T-Mobile offers, yet i am still limited.... The whole tegra thing doesn't help

Agreed, but I've started sending those apps to my Vibrant and side-loading them to my S. Only ones I have issue with are GameLoft games. Not because they aren't compatible, but because they check and refuse to run if they're not on the original device they were downloaded to.
What apps are you having trouble with,anyway?

I don't have my vibrant anymore to try side loading. But i suppose if i really wanted to i could find a site to download the apk. Dark Meadow and men in black 3 are two that i can think of off the top of my head

I can second the gameloft games (asphalt 6), all my other apps i usually use worked just fine on the s4 processor.

Same here, besides the gameloft products, all other apps and games are working perfectly

I got my Swype keyboard back after flashing a custom rom and doing the 3dot removal mod. It was coming up as unsupported at first, presumably because the 3dot menu wasn't considered part of the screen so the resolution was listed as 540x940 or something instead of 540x960.
Once I did the mod I got Swype back. And it's really a lot better than the HTC keyboard even though it also has swiping. I've just gotten so used to how Swype behaves.
Sadly no GameLoft games for me still.
+1 I am having bad compatibility issues when trying to run some games. No Gameloft games work and Fieldrunners does not work. I will test more and report back. One thing I can say is the GTA III works well Anyone have any idea if it can be fixed with an OS upgrade or an app update over time; or could there be a hack?
I have disabled the 3-dot menu (Leedroid tweaks) and no help there for compatibility.
The only way I can see us getting Game loft games to work is if someone finds a simple hack in the apk to disable the device check. I've poked around in the MiB3 apk a little, but I have no idea what to look for, or if its even possible.

Some other apps I found that show app booting up logo but crash:
Fieldrunners, The Sims Free Play, Need for speed hot pursuit, and shift. Seem like it's not just Gameloft. Hope this can be fixed soon... our device can handle this games like a boss, if only it could start them...

One day to my surprise there was a new ui on my Netflix, so much better so I looked it up to find out they finally made it tablet friendly
A couple of days later I'm back to the old Netflix
I didn't change anything on my xoom since then
Does anyone have the new updated Netflix apk? I can't find it for the life of me

What's wrong with the one in the market? Works great on my xoom. Go to apps and do a search.

The point was it was from the market, no matter what I did, which version I installed I got old crappy look
A wipe and reinstall of my Tom fixed it tho

The one on the market displayed both UI's. It's an HTML5 app so they can change the way it looks without you updating the app. If you were tweaking your build.prop or pixel density it may have thrown the app off so that it displayed the old ui.
Ive downloaded the pro version, along with the plugins. No matter which plugin i use, I never notice any different games in the market. NOVA, Modern Combat etc. Are still not showing up. Yes i pressed the 'fix market' button still to no avail. Has anyone gotten this to actually work with their device?

I had chainfire3d on my captivate and loved it.
I am having all kinds of trouble getting it to install on my skyrocket tho.
I have tried downloading from the market and from the www page. directly to the phone and transferred from usb.
NO matter what I cant get the pluggins to install. I am root. so doesnt make any sense.
I remember needing to punch some code into terminal emulator with the cappy and i have searched and typed a few different commands into VrE again to NO avail. Getting kinda bummed about it now as its been 24 hours since root..I also installed the 2.3.6 rom on our forums last night.
SR was delivered wednsday with 2.3.5 stock from the Amazon . penny sale.
Anyone kn ow what I am doing wrong?

You google the game and find out which device it was made for. Also many of the gameloft games aren't on the market. Search for shadowgun.
Why are guys even using chain fire? I switched to the skyrocket from a Dell streak 5 with the original snapdragon processor and all my old gameloft games work and most others as well, even shadow gun runs flawlessly from the market with no mods at all. I'm completely stock, not even rooted on 2.3.6

Because we have games that need it.
You should atleast root it so you have CPU controls and app.controls because it saves on battery

Galaxy on Fire 2, Pinball HD, and better versions of Fruit Ninja, Backbreaker, and others. Also, even though it's not a compatibility thing, installing Chainfire 3D made the textures in Riptide GP load at a much higher res.
What are your settings for galaxy on fire 2. Mine crashed to home when loading the campaign

I don't know about you, but... it doesn't say xperia x10 2.3.3 up on the top there.
(hint) It says AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket Themes and Apps.
Hey guys, I recently rooted my phone in hopes of getting Chainfire 3D working. I brought the pro app and for some reason it's not doing anything. I've read that I would need to download some plugins but I cannot even open the app itself. So does that mean I have a bad root on my phone? I do see Chainfire 3D in my apps manager but I can't access it. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks.
Found out the issue. Please disregard. Thank you.

Care to share your experience? Any issues with install?
Well unfortunately issues persist. I was able to install Chainfire 3D on my Skyrocket, but I'm afraid it doesn't work. I downloaded all 3 necessary plugins, refresh the market,but I still can't see the game I would like. I'm looking for 9mm & Backstab.
Anyways, I did get the games by "other means" if only just to see if this app works. Well, it doesn't. Backstab hangs and forcecloses right after the intro scene and 9mm will not download correctly, it states that the game is incompatible for this device and to seek a refund.
I was fed up at this point and deleted the game and files. I would like to get this issue resolved as quickly as possible. Gameloft is having a sale on their games, and I would really like to pick up NOVA 2, Backstab and 9mm but how? I can't even see them on the market...
I'm starting to think that Chainfire 3d just doesn't work on the Skyrocket. Anyone else having issues? Please help?
Chainfire works with no problems at all, the device is not compatible error you're getting has nothing to do with chainfire and can easily be corrected by a simple edit to the build.prop file to change your device id to another supported phone

That's interesting. I haven't done that. Is there a link you can give me with instructions? Also, is there a build profile that works for all Gameloft /Tegra2 games? And is there a risk in changing it on the Skyrocket ? Sorry for sounding like a noob but I am determined to get this working.

Ok. Well I downloaded Rom Toolbox. I noticed I can change my build.prop. Now I have tried this and it still doesn't work. Market does not show up with the games that I would like to purchase. Am I not changing the build.prop correctly? I'm using the Nexus name, should I use a different one for 9mm & backstab? At this point just a link towards a tutorial would be extremely helpful. Please help.

Hey guys I just thought that maybe we Skyrocket owners could petition Gameloft to make their games compatible for our device.
Basically, I bought MC3, MC2, NOVA 2, Rainbow Six, and none will work with a device I thought was going to bring gaming to a whole new level.
Emails to gameloft just result in generic "We do not have compatibility yet. We might later" messages.
Anybody?
No.

I have all of the games you listed running perfectly, just edit your build.prop to show as the HTC Desire Hd. after you edit it, reboot and all your purchased apps will show in the market, download and install them, download the additional data and then you can edit your build.prop back to how it was originally, reboot and the games will continue to work after this reboot even though they'll no longer show in the market

While I agree that a petition to them could be a waste of time seeing how we can circumvent the issue, I agree that they should really consider our device as capable.

I sent them an email and they told me that maybe in the future, but people all over their forums want the games to work.
Can you post instructions how to do this? I really love their games.
Problems is, the games don't work after you change the build.prop back.
For example, MC2 and MC3.
I bought both, changed build.prop, was happy, then realized battery, gps, and reboot/shutdown were all borked by the build.prop. Changed it back, they no longer work.
That's the reason I wanted a petition, but seems like its a waste of time.
Yeah Maybe use Chainfire and one of the plugins?

Gameloft games work now on the Skyrocket. Well, at least Asphalt 6 and Backstab. I'm sure others too.
I'd like to think it was my email and campaigning that did it.
i got all the games working on mine only one is not working is mc3
Well I'll be a son of a gun, in that case thanks. No if only that free MC3 would work from SamsungApps

I can still confirm that mc3, nova 2, and mc2 all don't work.
MC 2 worked on mine, using sky ics. But cyanowiz it doesn't work let alone the Samsung apps

So I have a rooted virgin mobile HTC wildfire s. It also has dudeman1997 cm9 on it. And will all know the annoying your device is not compatible with this app on Google play. So i decided to get the official modded Google play to test the games out on a over clocking processor. And I was able to get it working with the happy patcher and root explorer apps technique. But when I search temple run and I click install it says the item you are trying to purchase could not be found. How do I fix this? P.S I was hoping when I look under top paid and top free I would see the incompatible apps but I only see them when I type them in. Can I make it so they come up under catagories? Furthermore I will not edit my build.prop. Finally in case you wondering I have a Armv6 processeor .
