Avadon no worky on Note with ICS... Any ideas? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps

I've been working with Spiderweb games on trying to get their RPG "Avadon: Black fortress" working on my Note, and despite others being able to buy it on the market I'm unable to.
I finally figured out it seems to be ICS related. GB Notes can buy it but ICS Notes cant.
According to the correspondence below they seem to think its "screen size" related.
does anyone know a hack that can let me buy this game? (I have root...)
Here is the last (somewhat disappointing correspondence I had with Spiderweb games support)
Hi again,
It's great that you figured out what the issue was. However, Avadon runs fine on ICS tablets, so the problem is not ICS compatibility. The only restriction we've placed on the Avadon Google Play listing is reported screen size - only devices that report screen sizes of "large" or "xlarge" to Google Play can access the listing and download the app. My only thought as far as possibilities go is that somehow the ICS upgrade changed the reported screen size of the Note from "large" to "normal" or even "small" (there are four sizes: small, normal, large, and xlarge). This is sort of unlikely, since the Note should not be classified as a "normal" or "small"-sized screen as far as Android devices go, but there's really nothing else I can think of which would cause this to happen. We won't be allowing "normal" or "small"-sized screens to access the Avadon listing because most of the devices allowed would not be able to play the game. So, I really am terribly sorry about this, but we can't do much to fix this issue on our end.
We regret the inconvenience.

Ok I think I've figured it out.
I have two friends with n7000 notes that have never heard of your game so never searched for it in their phones, one also has ICS the other has GB.
The ICS phone can't buy avadon but the GB one can.
Does avadon support ICS?

Wow, I would have put money on someone knowing some sneaky hack to make it work... :-(
Is really a weird one seeing as it is support under GB, supported under ICS, supported under a GB note but just that specific combo of ICS on the note it isn't supported...?

Why not just backup your ICS rom, flash to GB, buy/install the app, back up the app with Titanium Backup, and then flash back to your ICS backup and restore the app with TB.

I wasn't able to install it on GB either. And I read it's Android 3.0+ and 7"+. So maybe a dpi change does the trick.

I bought it as part of the humble bundle awhile back. It is version 1.0.6 and it installs fine on both GB and ICS. It downloads from the humble bundle app not google play.

Hmm ok. so the titanium back up option might work then.
Any ideas on what was meant by a dpi change?

I think he means to download an app that changes the dpi. Maybe it will trick the app store into letting the game show up.

Ha cool, we figured out what it was... Samsung have buggered up the way it reports screen size to google Play in ICS:
Hello again,
We confirmed from our analytics software that the ICS Galaxy Note is now reporting its screen size as "normal" instead of "large." We inquired about this to the Android team at Google and they think it's a mistake on Samsung's part when they prepared the ICS update for the Note. What we want to do is use a setting that actually allows us to specify which devices can access Avadon: The Black Fortress by minimum screen resolution instead of by these size labels which are sort of fuzzy. This setting exists in Android, but is not supported yet by Google Play. However, there is a chance that it will be supported by Google Play in the future, and at that point we'll be able to reconfigure the APK settings to filter devices based on screen resolution instead of this size value.
I wouldn't recommend trying to hack around this. Since you are obviously a very devoted fan and since you've really helped us out in figuring out what's happening with the Note, we'd like to give you a free copy of Avadon. This copy won't update with Google Play, but if you don't run into any issues on the Note, then you won't need to worry about updates.
Hopefully the ICS Note will be able to purchase Avadon in the not-too-far future! Thanks very much for your help and feedback.

[Q] Order & Chaos Online officially supported

WELL,
I jumped onto the marketplace this morning to find that order & chaos online is now officially supported on the TF101. So I download it but on bootup it still says the device is unsupported... WHAT GIVES?
I went to get a refund but the app didnt show in 'my apps'.. grrrrr
Ive sent an email to android marketplace but no response yet. I called Gameloft who confirmed that there is still no support for this device.
Has anyone else come across this?
NOVA 2 is also listed as supported but not game to try !!!
dont see it in the marketplace
Not listed here either
Strange. Mine shows on the app and online marketplaces???
It's turned into an interesting fight between google and gameloft in that one suggests the other should provide a refund. Gameloft maintain that their apps are unsold to google thus it becomes their responsibility. Google state that the apps are maintained by gameloft and the marketplace is used more as a vehicle rather than a retailing. Im tending towards googles take.
Anyway, they both suck !!!
I'm not quite sure that it's all about a fight between gameloft and google, because, apps like order & chaos or available for other devices then the TF101.

Order and Chaos can be made to work by using a Titanium backup from another device.
The game runs fine, except once it see's you are on a Transformer it doesn't even try.
The Titanium backup has all of the files needed to run and places them in proper folders and skips the device check.
I have Order and Chaos on my TF and am like a level 6 now (I haven't played in a while because my internet at the hotel is balls)
O&Ch workong on TF =
= Backup of ex. SGS version - Titanium Backup -> Copy 3 files (backup) to TF -> Copy SD cache for ex. SGS version to TF -> Restore backup of O&Ch on TF -> Play the game....
No support for dock...only writting, low preformance on 1,5Ghz ......I deleted this game ...and i'm waiting for version that is optimalizet for tablets with honeycomb.
yeah. Shouldn't have to jump through hoops.
If someone can help me solve this problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216779 we should be able to buy it directly from market + get updates/etc and buy other gameloft games too. (As long as they don't check for IMEI number, which we don't have for obvious reasons)
samsung GT-I9100 has Geforce GPU module inside it's CPU that is same(similar/compatible ?) to the one we have in our tegra cpus.

'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?

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.

Final Fantasy Dimensions Crash

Before i start barking up the customer support tree, i was hoping to get some insight from the forum. Paid 20 bucks for this game and all it does on my phone is crash seconds after launching. I'm running Jellybam and wondering if anyone else has this game working for their device. Thanks!

Before contacting customer support (which I don't recommend, seeing as your using a custom ROM), I'd try a stock Sense ROM with the game, and see if that improves anything. HTC knows their GPUs better than anyone, and there is a pretty good possibility the game will work with proprietary drivers.
The best comparison I can draw is this: Battery life on my Dell XPS 15 inch triples on my Linux partition when I use proprietary drivers compared to the open source ones, because the open source drivers weren't optimizing the GPU clock speed and screen brightness well.
Try the company's software that made the phone first before anything else.
Pretty sure I remember something along the lines of Square Enix making their games unplayable on rooted phones. This might be one.

For the benefit of anyone else who finds this on Google:
SEE Agent Pierre: Hello and thank you for contacting SQUARE ENIX Customer Support. Just a few moments while I review your question, please.
You: Okay.
You: Are you still there?
SEE Agent Pierre: just a moment please
You: Okay, no problem.
SEE Agent Pierre: (sorry about that, will be 2 minutes if you're ok to hold)
You: Yeah, that's fine.
SEE Agent Pierre: thank you for waiting Sir
SEE Agent Pierre: so I understand you are having issues with FF Dimensions on yur Galaxy Note, is that right?
You: Galaxy Note II, yes.
You: It crashes on launch. I wondered if this might be related to being rooted or setting a different DPI, but I didn't get time to test these things because of Google Play's 15 minute refund window. If it is one of those things, and there's something I can do about it, I can purchase it again.
SEE Agent Pierre: so you have been refunded the game by now and do not have it installed anymore ?
You: Correct. I'm seeing if I can find out what the issue was before I consider re-purchasing.
SEE Agent Pierre: alright no worries
SEE Agent Pierre: the fact that it is rooted is one of the cause
SEE Agent Pierre: If you bear with me I will look for any compatibility issue with the game and the G.Note 2
You: Okay, thanks. As much as I'd love to play the game, I'm not willing to un-root to do so. If there's a workaround that allows play on rooted devices, that'd be grand.
SEE Agent Pierre: alright, no compatibility issue was found with your device however it must not be rooted to support the game.
SEE Agent Pierre: you will need to un-root it but apparently you are not ready to do so
SEE Agent Pierre: is there anything else I can do for you today?
You: Is this the case for all Square Enix games? I was looking at Chrono-Trigger as well. I'm quite keen to give you my money, but not at the expense of being able to use a device I bought how I wish to use it.
SEE Agent Pierre: yes that's quite standard, you will find that in all our games
SEE Agent Pierre: sorry about that
SEE Agent Pierre: anything else I can help with?>
You: Thanks. Might be worth informing the person who made that decision that piracy is just as easy with or without root access and you're reducing your market somewhat.
You: I'll see if I can pirate the game and I'll purchase it from the Play Store again (though not actually download it) if I get the pirated version to work on my device. Seems to be my only option to actually play your games in a fair manner that means Square Enix gets paid.
You: Which is an odd situation but here we are.

Restore app+data using TiBackup from a device that works after you save at least once. Restoring before you save the first time will not fix a game that crashes on launch.

Just have a problem.... I have no unrooted device to make this titanium backup...
Right, so the APK itself is what checks for root access. I replaced the APK from the Play Store with an APK I got from somewhere else, and it works. Just installed it over the top. The game also checks for a legit Play Store license, which I have because I bought it. So no problems there.
Over-zealous anti-piracy methods push legit customers to piracy to get around them. Ridiculous. I don't advocate piracy, but if I've paid for something then all bets are off as to how I choose to make it work.
I'm also sticking to the XDA rules by not advising how you would go about duplicating my method. I'm hoping that mentioning the fact I got the APK from elsewhere is within the rules.
All the best.

I might be off here, since I'm still at the start-up crash stage, but it sounds like you have a version mismatch with the asset data. Make sure the APK is the same version as the hidden data.
SQ game me two official answers (none was the root issue)
1) Hide the shade bar.
2) Clear data, cache, and re-install.
Obviously neither worked. (Defy XT557D; stock V1.0.1 rooted crash, stock V1.0.2 rooted crash, hacked V1.0.2 over official license (with stock play store) crash.)

I just went into the Play store, and it let me download the new version... I store all of my projects to the Cloud service, so I just synced it and disabled the old copy... if you haven't tried it yet, the changes are very small - although I have to say it feels a bit more responsive, the icons seems a bit refined, and it does sync a bit faster than the previous versions... overall, not a massive/life-changing upgrade, but it's possibly worth it if you use it alot. :cyclops:

You shall not. It's a piracy.
However, it's not a good way to treat customers... if they'll receive no updates for more apps (btw NFS Most Wanted for my N7100 not updated since many months), no one will be using samsung store, and i don't think it's what samsung wants as they are updating their store ("hubs") in an intensive manner, recently.
Sketchbook apps for note devices are in exclusive versions with spen support, that's a different story, they are great, and there is no other official source.
But atm it is a risk to buy a non-exclusive app from samsung if it is also reachable via google, as you can be left with no further updates.
Anybody tried contacting with samsung support? They are going to update PST? Or no such a plans?

There are many people complaining about it not being updated to 1.5 and samsung apps is bad at updating anything or even taking care of their store, I got the avengers game from there as they were giving it away free but when downloaded the game doesn't even start and they haven't updated that and couldn't even be bothered to check the user comments all complaining about this issue.
I went to the photoshop touch forum on adobe's website and saw that there were people complaining about not getting updates and the repliers who I think work on the app didn't know how to solve the problem and that was a post complaining about not getting an update for 1.2....or was it 1.3, anyways they still haven't solved the problem since then and I doubt they care as the app came free with the note 10.1
I went to ask about why upload to cloud doesn't work and was told to update to 1.5 so said about the problem to him and he didn't have an answer for me about the update issue, he kind of changed the subject
I like photoshop touch and it seems to have the biggest canvas I've used without any slowdown or relentless bugs like one art app I gave up with and just unistalled, another art app sketchbook ink, had high hopes for that but seems whatever you paint zoomed in shows blotchy when zoomed out so that's more money I lost on art apps that didn't work properly but apart from the really annoying non palm rejection and the fact that when you zoom out with your fingers sometimes the app doesn't pick it up and leaves marks on the art I'm doing and if I hadn't remembered to do another layer I have to go back and go over all the marks that I didn't spot earlier.
1.5 still hasn't got palm rejection btw and doubt it will for a while
I also like using photoshop touch more than the others because I'm colour blind and can only pick up a few colours without getting confused with other colours and they just have a small few colours and I can add my own pallette of colours by mixing...oh you know what I meant if you had trouble with colours.
I'd buy this app if I didn't already have it and my work that is in psd format can not be imported only saved on cloud plus why should I pay for something I got for free, I don't like this cloud saving it's just another way of getting money from people to sell them a little....empty space that's what is there but you can't see it only if you find it on a computer or whatever you have, next someone will come up with an idea for selling air and probably gravity one day.

I did not get an update notice from Samsung but was able to force the update manually.

Tab 3 8 Kit Kat. What's new?

I just got the kit kat update for Tab 3 8. I live in LA California. Wifi only and I had to force it using the check for updates option. So I can list a few differences I'm noticing. I'm pretty sure all this stuff is new but some of it might be stuff I missed with 4.2.2.
Transparent notification bar.
New multiwindow experience. Now it does not have that little tab hanging over the side. Now you swipe it in from the side. I haven't played with it, I still find it unusable.
You can customise the toggle ribbon more now. You still have to have tons of icons but you can pick the order and take a few out.
The lock screen has a now playing type widget that looks nice.
On-screen keyboard toogle for bluetooth keyboards. I actually am trying to write a screenplay on this tablet and I had to buy a stupid app to fix the stupid keyboard the stupid way it worked be stupid fore and now it works better and I bought a stupid app for stupid nothing. But I'm glad it works better now.
That's all I've noticed so far. I also don't use touchwiz, I use nova.
Tell me what you guys are noticing or if you find an official list of changes let me know. Thanks everybody

Jacksonville, FL here and no update available yet.
Cosmetically it's hard to notice the difference on the firmware, but under the hood there are some serious changes to the firmware, but all for the better.
The "Transparent Notification bar" was there on JB 4.2.2,
And "Multiple windows" is very functional now.
● TouchWiz is lighter and smooth now...
(I'm so happy with it's performance now, to the point I didn't bothered to install the Google Now Launcher yet...)
● Third-party apps can't write to External SD card anymore...
(There is a way if you root the device)
● Some extra new Wi-Fi settings.
● The keyboard is improved and the "Picture gallery" and other factory apps also received some TLC for the better.
But for me, the "Multiple User capability" is definitely th e Icing on the cake.

[emoji25] One year old device and already considered 2nd class and outdated by the manufacturer...
This is likely the first and the last update this device will see from Samsung.
I like Samsung devices, but I finally lost interest in buying any Samsung devices in the future.

auto brightness sucks.
I was hoping the autobrightness would get fixed. For me it's always way too dim. Where is the light sensor?

Autobrightness is horrible on the Tab3, it's fine on my S5 as well as previous S2 and other Android devices I've used. But the Tab3 Sucks, I'm always taking it off auto especially durring the day, dim as hell lol
