Have any users of this ROM tried the Bard's Tale? On the Main menu screen (which looks like an opened book) I get graphic glitches and the display doesn't change when I click on any options. I hear the game respond to my click and seems like it is running in the back ground, but the display remains on this opened book with the bottom of it stuttering/flashing.
Any ideas?
I'm also interested in the results of anyone playing it on the Stock ROM because my wife's tablet is still stock, and that is an option for me.
Update: Tried game again last night and it seems to be working fine now.
Hi, I'm new to XDA, and french, so excuse me for my bad english...
Had the same problem on stock rom (ICS 4.0.3) on my transformer. It has been solved with a cold boot, It seems to be a known problem for asus, who is working on it...
source : can't post links yet, but visit the android support page on the inXile entertainment website...
After playing 7 hours, Bard's Tale refused to launch, I tried to reinstall the apk and redownload the entire 3,5 Go HD data after a TB backup, and this was not the solution.. the only thing I got was losing my savedgames that Titanium didn't backup... (savedgames are not saved with the data in TB, they are placed in the Android/Data/com.inXile.BardTale/files/SavedGames folder.)
Now, the game works perfectly, unfortunately, I'm too lazy to play again the 7 hours I have already done... may be I would keep playing if someone could share his savedgames. Before losing my savedgames folder, I just had finished the chapter V, forest tower. This game is awesome :good:
Hope this will help...

Version 1.00 (beta) is on the Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=magory.marbleshd - still a beta because there is no sound and requires some more testing on different devices.
What it is?
Marble Lines HD (I changed the title a litte) is a simple game where you have to move color balls to make a row of 5 or more - I didn't find anything similar on the market and it's a game I enjoy playing, so I'm working for a version for Android.
What is the status
Marbles HD is close to completion - there is no sound yet, and four game types could be a little unbalanced (too easy or too hard).
Features
- four game types (small, crazy, easy and classic)
- highscore (only local right now, I'll maybe add OpenFeint or sth similar later),
- dynamite, question marks (replace any color) and stones (cannot be removed),
The game should work on everything with Android 2.0+.
wrong section...
Why would 'apps and games' be the wrong section?
Anyway, d/l and installed. It gave me an error when I first loaded it, but I just hit wait and it loaded up. Since then it loads without any problems. I have never played a game of this type before, but it is quite fun. I didn't find any problem with the game play. I did notice that at times the balls were a little hard to choose. I like the planned features that you listed. All in all, I like what you have going here. Keep up the good work. I am running a HTC Vision with the latest Cyanogen nightly.

Thanks. I'll check that.
black screen and then Crash on open SGS I9000 CM7.1..
also cause my phone to vibrate like crazy on black screen.
Wow, someone moved this thread to Android Apps and Games. It should be in Transformer Apps section. It's not ready for phones yet, I didn't even test it on mine phone. Thanks for the info though. I'll look into it, I hope I can repeat it on my phone.
EDIT: After some thinking I maybe posted it completely in the wrong session. I had to be a little absent-minded. Still, no harm done. I tested it on my phone and it works without problems. It will be really hard to find the bug that caused a crash on your system. I'll probably just post beta version to the Market soon - then I will have crash reports.
I posted a new version in the first post. It's much closer to completion and was tested on my phone (previously the problem was probably with too large textures - because of HD graphics for tablets).
Cool
That is nice
Thanks! I posted the first version on the Market - https://market.android.com/details?id=magory.marbleshd - it's still beta because there is no sound and requires some more testing on different devices. (if you installed for apk, it's best if you uninstall it first, then install from the market)
Very necro update March 2021:
All versions of this ROM are now stored on my personal site and can be found here:
Ainol Novo 8 Advanced Firmware Downloads
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A long time coming but Release 4.0 is now here
Site Link:NebularNerd.com
To save keep opening new threads I shall now just update this one to reflect the latest release. The main reason for the delay was waiting to find a firmware to base it on that offered something more than just a minor update.
To keep things short and sweet the full Readme will now be kept on a separate page on my blog Click Here and a plain text copy is in the download. Check out the Change log/What's New below then get your download and enjoy. Screen shots after the download links.
Posts #70 onwards for support on this release
Change log/What's New:
Key: + New # Updated > Information ! Important - Removed
07/04/2012 Version 4.0
+ Newer base firmware based on cheeyee and tomx2h releases.
! English only release, Multi Language may follow
! Google Maps will Force Close if you have no active Wifi or Data connection, this is the way the app works and not a bug.
- Flash and Skype removed as they only semi worked. You can install these from the market.
+ Modified Google Play Store gives the best results yet. Still not perfect but improves on last firmware.
! Play Store must not be updated, auto updater removed to prevent this. Any updates will remove the modded version.
+ build.prop altered with HTC Flyer data (closest match to our tablet) again results have improved in the Market.
# All included Google Apps, Facebook and Dolphin are latest versions as of compliling the Firmware
- Root explorer because it would still give Chinese menus, ES File Manager is just as good when given root access rights.
+ New Statusbar icons for Home, Menu, Up, Down and Back (See screenshots)
# The wallpaper app that was in Chinese I have converted to English, look for 'ICS Wallpapers'
- Separate Latitude.apk (now comes with Maps) and Car Home (Too small for our screens)
> For UK users iPlayer and latest Flash seem to play Medium quality streams without any problems, High quality is broken in iPlayer by the looks of it as setting it makes no difference over Medium.

amazing job.
i assume power off and sudden power on screen is not fixed yet because of hardware bug?
Will try and give my cents later today. THANKS , great job.
Thanks, great job!!!!
One question
have you fixed the power off bug
Huawei e220 and bluetooth
Hello. First of all, congratulations for the nice work!
I´m wondering if anyone managed to make Huawei e220 modem work on this rom. If so, please send the instructions.
Another thing that would be important on further updates is to make bluetooth hardware work on our Novo8 or also a external dongle.
Bye!

theres a workaround.. you need the "screen off timer" to 15secs.
Make it sleep. power on normally. immediately upon you unlock the screen, poweroff like you normally do. it works most of the times like that for me.

Bluetooth would be great

I am looking into the whole Bluetooth thing as it's something I would quite like to have running as well, on some of the other forums there is some Bluetooth stuff being worked on so I need to look and see what that is about and if I can use it.
Huawei e220 IS working!!!
Hehe, something is def. done with the power control. i can "easily" power it off now when the powercord is plugged in. But it immediately starts up again.
power off works and stays off without power cord. plug cord in and it powers on.
first cents.
thanks for fb, and dolphin! Why not make ES FileExplorer standard too?
Trying not to bloat the rom, and new base firmware

I left ES out as it can be downloaded from the market, while it is my preferred file manager other may want something else so I'm trying to not overload the rom. To most people having the stock File Explorer and Root Explorer is likely enough. Facebook, Dolphin and Skype were added because like some of the Google apps they cannot be had off the market but are near enough essential to daily tablet usage.
*** NEWS FLASH ***
I have just managed to download the latest beta from the Chinese sites, took a while to work out how to do get it off their chosen download host, need to add learning Chinese to my todo list
I shall start playing with this new firmware and see how it behaves, who knows what that will bring us.
*** NEWS FLASH ***
Ok, so yesterday while falling asleep i looked at latest topgear.
New in this rom, is that every five ten minutes, the "power off" dialog pops up.
Any idea how come? Also while playing games it pops up every now and then now. didnt in the earlier rom.
Also , when i started skype it said "Skype must be reinstalled" and i was never able to log in.
Exciting about new beta! Crazy stuff.

V2 install yesterday, and today I learned that in China have released a new version.
It has some bugs that you've fixed in V2, so I think you can pick your version of china and improve it.
I encourage you.
Thank you very much for making us enjoy both.
Feedback
A little feedback ROMs:
concerns:
First, after installing programs, I'm having problems ("com.androi.settings process stopped") to access Settings-App Manager. The same happens with the time zone setting. I tried reinstalling, but it continues going after the installation of any problem.
I am also having problems with skype ("resinstall skype").
Another question is about the graphics processing. Although our tablet has enough technology, games like Spiderman and Real footbal run without the proper rendering.
I think that ultimately, the ROM should not come with installed applications, it can easily be found through the Aptoide.
Moreover, the ROM is good, with few delays in Appmenu and tablet features working except bluetooth, but this is a problem of its own original ROM and still no solution proposed.
Keep the good work!
The ChinaDigital-mirror is broken (get a 44MB file every time).
Replies to all,
Regarding Skype issues, is this cropping up as soon as you are running Skype or after name and password entry. I do not have a Skype account so could not fully test, I shall add it onto the fix list for the next version.
naguz:
Thaks for the heads up I shall get onto rikeys and see what's doing. I should have another Mirror or two coming up any time soon.
daniel.eriksson:
The Power dialog is a weird on, everytime I flash it appears either more or less than before, hopefully the new beta has some fixes.
educuritiba:
Are you trying to change to another language? I've not ran into issues with Settings myself and did try changing languages around before release, if not please let me know what it is you are doing that leads to the FC.
App bundling is a tricky one to win, while those of us more skilled in the ways of the internet and things we can easily grab an apk to stick on, not everyone can or they prefer a all-in-one flash and be done solution. I'm not looking to stick anything on that can be had off the market and equally nothing that is not free for but things like Skype, Facebook and Dolphin are what I consider for most people must haves. Maybe for the next release I will bundle a working set of .apk's for people to install post flash.
Oberth, you are right. Those problems in settings only happen when the language is not english ( I am trying portuguese br).
Keep the good working in the next releases!!!

Yesterday I install the latest version to come out of China and is a wonder. Very stable and if no delay. The problem is that in Chinese and English is not complete. Would be nice if the Chinese were also multilingual and that all people around the world have this tablet. Bad for them.
I think that you would work with this version because it goes very very well.

Hi Tobituba, Resolution is set at 160dpi which is 1280x768 (what the screen is) at 160dpi the Launcher gives 6 columns by 7 rows in the app screen. Video playback is just through the stock player using HW Decode where it can no other software required. If you're using MX you need to make sure you have the Arm 7 Codecs as well and make sure it tries to use HW where possible. Not tried it heavily as the stock player is pretty good now.
Well that looks shiny

Downloading now, that does look very nice and appears to be based on the latest beta, very interesting about the Flash 11 integration wonder if the performance issues have been fixed in this rom? Well lets see what I can do with it . . .
Hi fellow XDA's,
My girlfriends plays a lot of Tiny Station on my GNex, but every time i wipe my device, for installing new ROMs, it takes the save game with it in the fall.
I backup every app I have, including it's data and so on (I've tried with both TWRP and TB), but this games progress is still deleted, and my girlfriend needs to start over.
As far as I've noticed, this is the only game, where I loose the progress
I've put of flashing a new ROM for a while now, for the sake of this game, but I really want to flash the new AOPK ROM.
I've e-mailed the developer a couple of times, but they do not respond at all.
TL;DR: Can anybody help me figure out, where Tiny Station saves its progress?

Hey I was just wondering, some of the really cool games like iron man 3 and real racing 3 isn't compatible with the tf700. Would these games work if I were to root it. Or is there any other way for these games to work. Thanks a lot
Iron man 3 works, playing it now.
Rooting it won't make a difference. It won't suddenly become compatible in the play store.
Iron Man 3 plays fine, can't speak for Real Racing, not my type of game.
You have two options:
- Sideload it. Buy it on another device and transfer it to your TF700.
- Alternatively, there are thousands of websites who offer the apk. That's all I can say about it as per the rules on the board, I'm afraid. I know it's not ideal, and I don't particularly like the solution myself, but the developer doesn't provide another option, it's their own fault. If you want to know more, let me know (send me a PM).
I saw the option for side loading on my recovery and wasn't sure how it works. Would the function be similar to backing up an application in say, titanium back up, transferring that file to another device, and then running titanium again to install it? Or does it run the apk from there? Either way, these options may not work for games that connect to a server and check the compatibility of your tablet. That would require build changes in your system. I think Gameloft does this type of check. I was unable to transfer one of their games from my phone to the tablet for this reason.
I downloaded from the play store onto my Acer A500 and then backed up the app with ES File Explorer. Then copied the backed up apk to my tf700, installed it, and it downloaded all the needed files. Runs fine.

Correct again. As far as Gameloft goes (I haven't played that many games on the 700) that would suck even harder because they a) make AAA-rated and popular games, and b) they are the main culprits in not properly identifying compatible devices (I believe most of their games run just fine when sideloaded, however).
I was unable to transfer one of their games from my phone to the tablet for this reason.

Obviously, you mileage may vary.
Compatibility of games
I've come across this problem a few weeks ago when trying to purchase Machinarium, which also identifies as incompatible.
I'm thinking it would be in ASUS' interest to have developers correctly identify their apps/games' compatibility with the TF700. Could we perhaps start a list of incorrectly identified compatible games from the Play store, and then could someone forward it to an ASUS representative?
My contribution:
- Machinarium
I side loaded the Real Racing 3 .apk
And its HORRIBLY broken, textures all over the place and sub 20fps to almost stuttering at times.
While browsing around the net, I've stumbled upon an article, saying that Fishlabs have released their game, Galaxy on Fire 2, optimized for Xperia Play. And how, not only it was XPO, but they've also thrown in Valkyrie expansion pack as a bonus!
This was 2 years ago and it was version 1.0.4.9. I've looked around for this version... but it's gone. Like, everywhere. Google App Store only offers Galaxy on Fire 2 HD, which is ages ahead and targeted at newer devices. I've checked it - it runs on Xplay with custom rom, but the touchscreen controls are catastrophe to play on Xplay. There is no way whatsoever of remapping controls to the gamepad.
As for the XPO version, for some reason, it vanished like a ghost. Literally all the links around the internet are dead. The only thing that's left are standalone APK files here and there, but they're useless, since downloading the game content with this version is not possible anymore - the server will not allow you to connect.
I don't understand - what's the point? It's not even piracy - the game is FREEWARE. Why would anyone go to such effort to delete the only version optimized for this device? Fishlabs got a deal with Sony to help in killing Xperia Play?
Anyways... What do you think? Is there still hope for playing this game on Xplay?
yeah, it's sad the support and old files for our (almost) retired xplay are slowly vanishing from the internet.
I just took a look on my backup and saw i still have the "data" folder, its named "Android\data\net.fishlabs.GalaxyonFire2\files\GOF2\GalaxyonFire2Valkyrie20111114"
something like 240mo is not biggie, if you want i can upload it for you somewhere.

I agree. I fell in love with this phone at first sight, and it really sucks it's losing interest.
I've sent you a private message.
I snagged this way back when it came out for my PLAY. Here is the link, I saved this too my gmail for safe keeping. I also have a backup of the apk and the files needed. As I recently replaced my Nexus 5 with a Nexus 6. I am curious if this link works for you,
