Hi, recently i have installed one of the latest android builds on my HTC HD2 mobile phone, i love it, works perfect and use it everyday rather than windows mobile.
One of the main reasons i turned my phone into an android device was the excitement in seeing people over youtube etc running games from gameloft on their htc hd2 devices such as N.O.V.A and Modern Combat etc FPS games with really cool graphics.
However, i am facing one big problem.
Every single game i have downloaded made for android from gameloft, either downloaded or purchased directly from their site, all seem to install fine, but then everytime i go to run the game, it opens and straight away says it needs to download additional data to run the game. Everytime it does this and finishes downloading, i tap to run the games and the game crashed back to the home screen.
I have tested about 8 android games now from them and all 8 have done the same thing, asked for additional data and then crashes when tryin to run the game.
I see they run fine on htc desire etc running android but im really miffed off and absolutely confused why my htc hd2 running froyo 2.2 android build aint able to play these games. Even after following correct instruction as to placing the game in the correct folder on sd card, install in airplace mode etc blah blah.
Really wanna get N.O.V.A and Modern Combat: Sandstorm working on my mobile.
Please help
Willing to make a reasonable donation to whoever can help get these working for me, I dont know if i need a specific android build or maybe some sort of android patch or game validator or some tool im missing????
bumppppp
I might be wrong here, but my guess is that the GPU doesn't work the same way as it would natively if it were on any other native Android device.
I have a Droid 2 Global and the HD2 running AA on SD. Simple games requiring some extra GPU power(Flick Kick for example), play clean, no lag, no distortion on my Droid 2 Global but have poor laggy graphics on the HD2.
If you really want to play those games, you should just get a native Android phone.

nah, the GPU isn't the problem. It has adreno 200 which is same as HTC desire and it runs all the games fine. It can be the problem of ram. How did you install android on it? Is it running windows mobile in the background? if yes, then lack of ram is likely to be your problem and that's why you get a crash...

I do realize that the GPU is good enough to power those games, but are the resources for the GPU allocated the same way that they would if Android was being run on an Android Native device?
I have American Android(03/20/11) installed on SD and I show a good 190MB of RAM if not more. I am currently download the data files of Modern Combat 2 HD to my HD2 and will post my results back.
Now that I think about it, I do have SpeedX 3D that runs fine. Could it be the OP's current setup that is preventing something from working fine? Are you installing directly to SD? Move back to phone and leave data to SD. Then try again...
hey,...i also using htc hd 2 hyperdroid rom..its works fine.i installed HAWAX its work fines
I just installed Modern Combat 2 HD from Gameloft and it works just fine. Rendering of GFX, everything.
There's most likely something in your configuration(ROM, Apps installed, etc...) that is causing this issue.
Off to play some Modern Combat 2 HD
My HD2 plays all the games I want. I installed asphalt 5 and Skies of Glory last week and they work perfectly. Have you tried a new firmware? I'm running Gingerbread 2.3.1.
LOL! Same problem on my Galaxy S. Only Assassin's Creed works Nicely.
The rest just crash to the main screen after downloading the additional data! Running Android 2.3.3...
If you bought the games they won't crash since they are all up to date and very compatible with GB 2.3.3. If you are using warez, that is one good reason why they crash.
Gameloft also connects to verify authenticity. If you game isn't very authentic, that is another reason.

Which android version did you buy/DL to be able to run correctly on the HD2? I'm thinking about buying a couple games from gameloft but since I'm running Android on the HD2 I don't know which version of the game to get...maybe the Desire HD version? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry not which games...I meant for which phone version did you buy to work on the HD2? When I go to gameloft and try to buy a game...I choose HTC and my carrier then it asks to choose your phone model the HD2/LEO isn't listed...is the closest the Desire HD?
most gameloft games can be played on my HD2

I am using android 2.3.3 Hyperdroid GBX v.11 (installed on phone, not sd) and the list of gameloft games having in my phone are;
1. asphalt 5 and 6 (both running smoothly)
2. Eternal legacy (running smoothly)
3. Novo (U need to change the control. By default, it is set to gamepad/or joystick mode...to other controls given there) otherwise the game crashes.
4. Real Football 2011
5. Hero of Sparta HD
6. Sand storm 2 (In couldnt install it, it force closed during verification process. But I have read ppl successfully installing in HD2 android and playing). I will try again and report later.
Phone: (sd card) I used app2sd partition and sd extn.
tools that I used on phone: Temp+CPU pro for increasing my phone processor, sd card speed increase app., Speed boost to clean cache and kill application.
I would suggest you to install OS on your phone (Nand) as to me, it is faster and can handle application and games faster.

He's not talking about the games to get. He's saying that on the gameloft site, which phone should he coose for the HD2. The "HTC HD2" isn't listed so he needs to choose a phone which is listed to be able to download a game(s).

If I were to go there, I would choose the Desire since its like an android version of the HD2 (In performance).

That's wrong. You should select desire / bravo as it's the closest to our hardware. (Desire Hd has a faster processor, more RAM and a better touchscreen concerning multitouch.) Bravo has exactly the same Hardware just smaller.

You were correct about the Desire.
nova on hd2 android
Nova works great on my hd2 android gingerbread. But no luck yet on increasing game's 3/5ths screen display size. Any tips on increasing display to full size?

Desire HD has adreno 205 gpu too, the HD2 only has adreno 200.

I have installed the gameloft games on the sensation and the games are 1/4 screen to low any else have this issue? Touch spots are in the correct place.
me too
i downloaded nova 2 apk online and had the same issue on the cut scenes but not during gameplay. the gameplay was just laggy and the surrounding were loading correctly. only some titles r compatible with the sensation. its because of the screen resolution.
oh.. well, maybe try purchasing legitimate games from them instead of stealing. the 4 Gameloft games I purchased all work flawlessly
While I can agree with purchasing the games legit. I have to say that gameloft tends to tell me my device is unsupported in the same way that hulu + and netflix do but I should be able to run the apps just fine. So occasionally I have to pursue other means to enjoy the content until it is available to me officially. Yes I understand those apps are free but I am more making the point that support for apps and games need to be updated more regularly. I am more than willing to pay to play...

The screen is off because sensation is supported for it yet. I have 5 gameloft games all from their site and they work perfectly. There's a reason that the tailor the games to each device.

I have many cracked Gameloft games for my HD2. I've tested many of them on the Sensation and either they don't work or don't scale properly. You get what you pay for. I would have bought them for my HD2 but stupid Gameloft would never give me a way even though they ran great.
I use the Gameloft wapstore now and it will tell you the games they support for the Sensation. It's not a massive list but it will grow I'm sure. I bought four games from them so far and enjoying each one.
I have 4 games I've purchased from Gameloft's site through the phone.
all work perfect, to scale.
selection is a bit pitiful but atleast we got SOME games for our phones...
by the way, they are having a 2 for 1 sale with the games being only $3. so basically $1.50 a game.
spend the little money and save yourself the headache of non/incorrectly working pirated APKs.
same for me: warez didn't work or fit the screen properly, so I bought the games once the Sensation was supported at Gameloft wapstore, they all work very well
BTW, if some have the same problem: if I try to go to Gameloft wapstore using WIFI, I get an error message ("too many redirections to load the page").
If I go to the same page connected with 3g, it works! So I buy and dowlload the app using 3g then start wifi fir SD datas.
I have Asphalt 6, NOVA, Rainbow 6, Modern Combat 2.
Make sure they are all HD versions and are for our phone/snapdragon-adreno. They are all full screen, no issues so far.
The only game I had an issue with was Gangstar, it's in full screen but off the edge. My favorite game too..
I use cracked versions of some gameloft games, and they are all full screen. (I agree that we shouldn't use illegal copies but from my country I can't purchase anything from gameloft, also, can't access paid apps on market, so for me it is legal)
thanks
Thanks for the input.
So I just switched from a G2 to a senny, I had 4 gameloft games that I bought from the market. I transfered them but only nova works, order and chaos, modern combat, and asphault 6 all give me the not compatible message.
What do I need to do here? Anyone got a link to an hd version of these games?

Hi guys... i'm having lots of problems when trying to play my favourite games from the past using different emulators with the Samsung Infuse 4g all the stuff i'm complaining about has been tried both under the original Infuse rom and with the adapted CM7 mod from LinuxBozo.
I know how the emulation stuff works... Although i've been using android for just one month up to now, i'm not a complete noob.
I already downloaded all of the apks and BIOSes needed for the platforms i'm trying to emulate.
At the moment i've only been able to play with SNESoid and GBCoid. Pretty boring though.
In all the cases mentioned i've been able to run the games using the same BIOSes and ROMs on my PC, although with different Emulators and HW ( just to point out -_-' )
I want to play GBA games but both Mojo GBA and GameBoid GBA emulators crash as i attempt loading any .gba rom i have.
Neither N64oid nor Mupen64 recognize any 7zip, zip or even .z64 rom downloaded from known rom sites (the same suggested in the different tuts i read).
Neodroid loads the roms, recognizes them, shows me the embedded thumbnails but fails to load any damn rom.
I bought the infuse specifically for the wide 5" screen and with the purpose of using it to play games during the 2 hours witch separate my school from my home.
I can accept the fact USB reading features weren't implemented on the Infuse, but not being able to play NeoGeo, GBA and N64 is giving me some buyer's remorse.
My Nokia was able to play GBA...that's not acceptable.
Hope to get some advice.
What versions of the emulators are you using? With Gameboid Lite and N64oid, I have no problems playing GBA games and .zip N64 roms on any ROM (stock/CM7/MIUI/GB/etc.). Do you have this issue on a clean flash (ie. GTG Ultimate Unbrick, don't install anything else, don't restore any data, etc.)?
The phone's rom isn't clean anymore but these problems keep happening since the beginning (These emulators were the first thing I installed right after google applications)
I changed version for the psx4droid and it's now working
I don't know what gameboid version i currently run...it's not shown...not even in the about tab. I just want to play gba but i can't find it on the market...looks the same for lots of other useful stuff like the ROM grabber...
The same for what concerns n64oid...i just couldn't find it and tried different apk found around the internet... tomorrow as the post office opens i'm going to charge my pre-paid card in order to give N64 Arcade a try... it's the only n64 emulator I can find on the market.
Btw... maybe i'll save those 0,99 bucks and avoid the risk of getting stuck in the same situation... may you tell me what n64oid and gameboid lite versions are you runnin?
Umm.. Infuse has a 4.5 inch screen.
N64oid 1.1.3, GameBoid Lite 2.4.7. I've never had an issue with emulators before like you're describing.

Can you people suggest some good PC type games?
With PC type I mean something better then angry birds and cardgames, more like sims, gta or w/e...
Only no action games... Got Shadowgun and find it difficult to play on phone.
Apparatus i find a very good game to have but it isnt simulation,
Anything from gameloft is pretty good, real racing is a good racing game and i think its free. you can get the sims aswell if your into that
Fifa?
Worms?

Go to gameloft.com on your phone and look at the games. Modern combat 3 is good. Shadowgun. Nova 2. Rainbowsix
. Go check then out. Oh and one more Minecraft Pocket edition, my favorite.

Yea im having the same problem as well.
DeadSpace from EA won't download either. Gives me a server error.
"Draw Something" it's so addictive.
Tiny Tower has my attention at the mo
I am also having problems with gameloft games, I have tried shasow guardian, nova and sandstorm and they all start running but after some seconds the exit to the home screen.
I also have the problem about dead space, I have bought it from market, installed it and when I run it, it says that need to download data from the server, and after that, an error 5002 comes. I have contacted the support of EA and they have not been anle to give me a solution, so I am going to get a refund.
I guess this problems are related with compatibility problems with ICS, is so new that the developers haven´t prepared their software yet, I am afraid.
Best regards.
Gameloft and EA games have terrible compatibility.. Backstab, nova 2 and modern combat 3 all are not compatible with my asus transformer and one s, they are only compatible with my desire z, which cannot run those games fluent at all I purchased Real racing 2 but it just gives an error when trying to run on my one s bad, bad support, never buying a gameloft or ea game again
I do enjoy dungeon village from kairosoft, but the game i most frequently play is perhaps super stickman golf, it has so many levels, its fun and its free.
Pretty much all of the games included in the android humble indie bundles are great. I actually play PSX games mostly though. FPSE is an ace PSX emulator. Draw Something's not bad, but I think everyone is bored with it by now. Wheel of Fortune is actually a cool game if you're into social games.

Deadspace & Modern Combat 3
I was having issues with downloading the needed files to run dead space, but ever since I flashed the Zydroid rom it has allowed me to download the needed files and I get to the ea splash but it returns to the home screen right after. I also have modern combat 3, but the market won't even let me download it. They both worked fine on my G2, don't know whats up with the One s.
What's about FIFA 12? Can you guys get it to run? It lets me download the game from the market and then I download the needed data (first time you launch the app), but after this it won't start and always returns to the app drawer.
I'm running LeeDroid 2.1, can anyone confirm this problem?
Thanks
I've emailed gameloft about modern combat 3 and they gave me a link to an apk that can be installed and works fine. If you have bought a gameloft game from the market which isnt compatible with the HOS I suggest mailing them

I have the a700 and am trying to get the most bang for my buck, I love this device but I miss playing all the games I had on my xoom. Can anyone tell me why I can't get any of the good gameloft, or EA games I have already bought. I was trying to blame Acer, but than took the blame to Gameloft but with some apps not working on my phone now I wonder if it is Ice Cream sandwich's fault. I am mainly opening this post to see what solutions are out there.
P.S. I have not rooted my a700 but I am not aposed to doing so for a remedy. Thanks
Since you purchased tha games already, have you tried contacting GL or EA support?
Speaking of games, download Dead Trigger. Kill zombies and have fun.
