[How-To] Tegra 2 Games on Droid Charge

I did not write this. I got this idea from ssserpentine and used it for the Galaxy Tab. Wanted to see if it worked for the MT4G and the Droid Charge, and it does. I use it to play Fruit Ninja.
Many thanks to ChainFire for writing this awsome program...... Chainfire3d
visit thread here...., Don't forget to hit HIS THANKS button while there.
What you need.....
To be ROOTED!!!! YEP thats pretty much it.
Go to the Market and download "[ROOT] ChainFire 3D". You can use the Free version, or just go ahead and chalk up the $4 for the paid version.
Download the Nividia Lib from the bottom of this post. Put on /sdcard/
Install CF3D Driver by clicking Install/upgrade/ uninstall CF3D driver.
Then Set the CF3D as the Driver. It will run a script and reboot.
Open Chainfire3D:
Install Plugin
(will search your /sdcard/ and show
Install Plugin
libGLEMU_NVIDIA.zip
/
Click the Nivida Plug-in. It will install it. When you see plug-in install complete. Press back button, and select
Default OpenGL Settings.
Click: Use plugin. Select Nvidia. Exit !
Now go to the Market and Search for Tegra Zone.
Install Tegra Zone from market.
Now you can download and play Tegra2 Zone games on your Droid Charge without "Hardware not supported error"
I have downloaded and playing games I payed for while on another phone (i.e. fruit ninja) So I can confirm that downloading games from the Tegra Zone and playing them on the Droid Charge works. There were some that said when we tested this out on the MT4G that they couldn't get games to download. As far as not being able to pay for games. I payed using my Google account. I have heard that for some reason people could not pay for full games.
NOTE: NOT ALL GAMES WILL WORK AS THEY ACTUALLY NEED THE TEGRA2 TO RUN. MOST JUST RUN OFF THE NVIDIA HD DRIVER.
DO NOT PURCHASE BANG BANG RACING!!!!!! It needs specific hardware that cannot be emulated at this point.
Confirmed working:
Samauri II
Riptide
Pinball thd
Fruit ninja thd
Backbreaker thd
The PowerVR Driver is included. The default driver for the Droid Charge is the PowerVR SGX 540. If you want to play Madden. Sometime the SGX 540 does not work. (I can't verify this as i don't play Madden and do not have it. Just what i've gotten back from research)

Reserved Space.

I can play Fruit Ninja without this mod. But I didn't purchase it from Market - I got it from the Amazon appstore since it was cheaper there. Maybe that's the difference?
The graphics seem to be subpar, though (not high res).

Thats because it's not the THD version of the game. You are playing regular Fruit Ninja.

I followed the directions in this thread and was able to download and install CF3d, the plugins and Tegra Zone app. However, I'm getting a "Non-Tegra device detected" error any time I try to download anything from the Tegra Zone app. If I try to search from the android market, the games don't show up.

The tegra games will not show up in the regular android market. And make sure you have Nvidia set as your default driver. You may not have selected it.

I installed it, but did not select it as default. That did the trick!

How do you buy Tegra games if you can't download them from the android market?

As mentioned. this seemed to hit and miss for some reason. I never had any problems downloading tegra 2 games or downloading them. Only game i could never get to work right was Madden. I also have a credit card connected to my tmobile and google accounts, so my purchases were 1 click purchases.

I wonder if is this new market that is in the Humble ROM?
Edit: Eureka! I used TB to wipe the data from the Market. Downloading Riptide now
Maybe update the OP with the Market wipe in case things don't show up?

That's true..the 3g versions(n8000) have this problem, i read it before 10 minutes in gamelofts forums that a guy has the same problem with me..what we can do now?wait for gamelofts update?

Good luck with getting updates or anything. I own 13 Gameloft games I can't do anything with since I upgraded from an Epic4G to an SIII and picked up the Note 10.1.
I contacted their customer service who promptly told me each game is specifically made per device to prevent piracy (ah yes, just like how Ubisoft online only DRM prevents that) and told me if I wanted to play any games (even if I own them) I would have to buy them again for THAT specific device. Also they're not that good with updates, if they update their games at all. Personally I no longer buy from them.

Try this.
If you bought them from the Play Store, access the play store from your computer via webpage.
Log into your account
Gotomyour games or apps youve downloaded
Select the one you want to install
When your devices pop up, install from there.
You CAN try to change your device language and input to EN US. Then restart your note. That worked for me a while ago, as some apps/games are region locked.
Also this reminded me of how when i recently swapped notes out, and got a new one, when the update software server asked me where i was located...i was tempted to register as one of the first countries to get JB...but i didnt for safety sake.
Let me know if this works for you. I recently got Google to credit me my Madden 2012 game because EA would not allow the download to the note anymore. Gamelofts policy is snakey at best, but understandable in its explanation. I hope it works

Games on Note 10.1 that work on Phone

So I just got my first tablet, went with the Galaxy Note 10.1, I currently have an Evo 4G Lte Android phone with a lot of games on it from both the Google Play Store and the Amazon Play store.
So far I've noticed a bunch of games either say "not supported for your device or don't even show up on the list when checking the Play Store from the tablet. As for the Amazon App store some of the games I've downloaded just don't even work. They install, the screen goes black and then 5 minutes later I get XXX is not responding.
I'm sure my tablet should be able to handle these games, any idea why they won't work and or show up? Does the Developer just not support this tablet or is it just to new?

Ok so I found the issue why so apps aren't showing up, I guess it turns out I had bought games using my 2 different Google Accounts, I added the 2nd account and now they show up, but the odd thing is I need to switch between them to see the different Apps.
As for the games not working, it only seems to be 1 so far, so maybe it just needs an update.

Most games I've tried seem to work OK... Haven't really had any that flat out refused to work...

[Q] [Request] How can I Spoof Market to thinking TF700 is the TF201 or other device

So when i had my TF201 i had bought a few EA games (Dead space, MAss effect, Need for speed), then my TF201 broke so i went ahead and got a TF700..... but now when i try to install my EA games it shows up as not compatible. so what i want to do is edit the build.prop so the market reads my tablet as the TF201 so i can get my games loaded.
BTW i should add extracting the APK and restoring it doesnt work because when the Game goes to download the addtional data; a message pops up saying your device is not supported. so basiclly my only option is to spoof the market to viewing my tab as the TF201.

It's not that easy anymore. Google not only check the device ID but also resolution and dpi settings.
However since using the 1280x800 res patch with dpi of 160 I have noticed that prime only games become available

Yea I tried that no dIce, thanks though

Build.prop edits to install incompatible apps

After changing everything I can in build.prop, well everything any source on net suggests needing to, google store still sees my s4 as an s4. Everything else seems to see it as a shield tablet though.
Does this still work to trick googleplay to downloading apps it deems as incompatible? If not is there another way?
Want to download war thunder and a few others only available to shields.
