Chainfire 3D

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?

go to default opengl menu and select nvidia as the plugin then go back nand click fix market settings and reboot ur phone then try

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?

reinstall your phone and try again. I have it installed on my i727r and it works perfect

Can you side load the app, and use whichever plug in necessary to run properly?

Been browsing all over Google trying to find a list that displays which plugin plays with which game, is there any way to tell?

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.

GTA III on Kindle Fire

Has anyone managed to make GTA III work on the Kindle Fire?
I managed to install it but right after the intro videos it jumps to my homescreen....
I'm using Chainfire3D with NVidia plugin....

I'm having the exact same issue, so frustrating!
I have a similar issue with some N64 games I play through the rom.

I tried all sorts of methods, from Tegra APK, to Qualcomm APK (and direct to Kindle Fire, which should be PowerVR), and none of the three versions work stock.
Interestingly, they all had different size downloads.
I tried all sorts of combination with Tegra/Qualcomm/PowerVR (with respective APKs), as well as unrolling textures, disabling hi res textures, etc., and none seems to work.
The furthest I got was after the opening intro, and crashes back. It seems to be an openGL overflow, so... yea... nothing we can do.

did you try the SGS 1 apk ?

hmm...
...

no success on my side so far aswell :/

Are you guys emulating? Its going to be released in the android market before too long

We actually are talking about the, already released, android market version of GTA 3 and not about an emulated version.
huskerdu25 just stated that he has the same issues regarding some N64 Roms, if that's what made you think we're talking about an emulator.

The range of devices that this seems to run on is rather odd.... It runs fine on my Thunderbolt, but then I saw people talking about phones released after the TB with better specs that it seemingly would not run on. Sure would be cool if we could get it running on the Fire.

best games working on kindle fire...
I have tried nfs shift, asphalt 6, GTA 3 but only nfs shift runs properly.....I had resolution issues with asphalt 6....gta 3 seems to return to home after video playback.....
What games toy are playing on kindle fire....especially HD games?????

Heavy gunner is great... in fact most games I play work well, shine runner is another that comes to mind, looks awesome the fire

i finally managed to get it going using this apk which is V1.1
started a new game and it was just stuck at the end of the loading bar
after 5min of impatience my kindle crashed and rebooted
MOD EDIT: NO WAREZ

I installed v1.1 and it works,no problems.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk

What was needed to make it work? Also, what sdcard data works? I was quite pissed to find these HD games don't work especially when i found out that Amazon does something attempt to cripple these games bought from the Android market and make special copies that they sell on their app store. I guess it's not that surprising....but i still don't want to rebuy several of these games just to play them on my tablet rather than my phone

I had earlier downloaded version 1.0 and let the app download its own data over wifi( roughly 450 MB)....but game used to return to home screen after initial video....
Now I had downloaded ver 1.1 ....and its working awesome....

Pokemon Pear on kindle fire (:

http://www.icrackerz(remove this).com/2012/01/download-nds4droid-1-3-nintendo-ds-emulator-apk-for-android/
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^is the link for the emulator
1. Download the emulator
2. Install on kindle fire
3. Download Pokemon Pearl rom
4. Put rom on kindle fire
5. Run the emulator and it will automagically find the rom.
(Ive only tested this on Cm7)

i installed nds4droid and there's no sound and touch controls don't work

To use the touch controls you have to press the button on the top left. and press it again to get the other buttons to come back

Can't download it from mediafire. Any mirror ?

Did FileSonic end up like MegaUpload or something?

And how well does it run...?

Anyone have a working download link?

My first thought was that "Pokemon Pear" was a new pokemon game released for the android...silly me.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using Tapatalk

i followed all of your instructions (hoping for some miracle of an update on this app, HA) and the game is choppy as hell, and yes i turned frame skip on (even the experiential mode too), and the controls are off a little on the KF where as on my inspire they are ok (even tho it aint any better).
i fail to see the point of this thread.
im one of thoes people who PAID for the nds4droid app when it was in the market. i even emailed the dev, and he promised good things were to come, but when?
after the first e mail response he NEVER got back to me and the app was taken off the market.
i doubt even doubling the clock speed on the cpu would make much of a difference with this app.
oh and in case your wondering i used the 4shared app to download version 1.3, which i have every right to since i already paid for the thing.
dont waste your time. hopefully someone else will pick up a similar project and actually finish it.

Petition for Gameloft

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.

Or u can just flash a tmobile gs2 rom then it works or edit build prop
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk

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

Help with DPI changing.

Hiya peeps, have some questions about changing the dpi on my transformer. Have been looking to download a good racing game eg, real racer2/3 gt racing ect but having no luck (not compatible). After doing some research i got to the conclusion that the compatability issue is down to dpi, right?. Well heres the next question, i have managed to get a download which appears to work up untill the screen res changes (i think) so would manualy changing the sreen dpi with a third party app allow it to run?. And finaly can anything go wrong using apps to change the dpi regularly?. Any help you can offer would be great TIA.

Im using cm10.1 on Brazil and it works great. Try to download an app called "lucky patcher" and patch your play store to be compatible with all apps.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium HD app

Hi, back again. Have managed to get lucky patcher but to be honest i am not sure quite what to do with it. Can you give me some pointers on what it does and how to do it?. Custom Patch, remove lisence, change permissions, create modified APK?.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

You have to select the play store app from the list. It will display custom patch if you are using one of the latest versions. Then it will present you with an option to unlock the compatibility with every app you want.
