So I had this idea, i know Ive seen how some other carriers offer things for their S3 owners, maybe we can change the phone identity by the build prop?
alright guys, Ill have to post up what I get, so far I changed to GT-I9100 as an S2 and got some games for it. so Ill post up when i get time .
Post now

So far I got Modern Combat 3 and GT (racing game from Gameloft). I saw shadowgun on there too. All from setting it as S2.
Ok i tried Galaxy s, S2, and international S3. I was hoping to score Dead Space since I love the pc games.. but it was a no go. When you set it as galaxy s or s2, and go to the samsung store, than to the game section. You get a few Gameloft and EA games. Only ones I got where Modern Combat 2, Modern Combat 3, and GT Free (wannabe Gran Turismo, but its not bad).
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU MESS UP.
If you did root, and loaded up a rom, than this shouldn't be hard at all.
Make a Nandroid back up first .(This saved my butt because I didn't use a build prop editor the first time around, and I could not boot, so i restored a back up and was good to go.)
Make sure you use a build prop editor from the play store. . Then in the build prop editer, back up your build prop file so you can always go back to it after your done.
Make the following changes (this is what mine looks like, yours could be different)
ro.product.model=SCH-I535
ro.product.brand=Verizon
ro.product.name=d2vzw
ro.product.device=d2vzw
to
ro.product.model=GT-I9100
ro.product.brand=Samsung
ro.product.name=GT-I9100
ro.product.device=GT-I9100
save and reboot, than go to samsung store and collect. Install what you want. After all is done, restore your build prop back up .
I think this might work for other offers too. I don't know.
My build prop says samsung not verizon for brand.

Not sure if it still does but I know when I edited the build.prop on my nook tablet to make it appear I think as a nexus (very similar process) I was able to get free extra levels on angry birds space. So WITHIN certain apps if your build.prop is edited to another device you can get extra 'perks/freebies'

How do we get the Samsung store?

Curious about this one as well. I already have the MC games, etc.
I tried to do it , downloaded a tmobile rom just to look at the build prop. but the Media Hub application would not run for me, saying something about being imcompatible. Im sure it has something to do with the full build prop and not just the parts I edited above.
But I already saw the movie, so figured its just too much work.

I tried buying out from the game loft site but had technical difficulties so I just bought our from the market.any way it works although I bought out because of the gyro controls.how am io suppose to enable it?
i would suggest anyone looking for gameloft titles to go the gameloft.com FROM YOUR PHONE. you can 1)charge to your phone bill 2) there's a buy one get one free sale 3) if you buy via the sale... they're cheaper than buying regular (ie.. buy NOVA standalone is 4.99.. purchase on sale it's 2.99 PLUS a free game). I spet 12 bux and got a ton of great games that all work on the g2x. BUY THESE GAMES. Support gameloft so they can stop being punks and GO INTO THE MARKET FULLY.

That sounds great and all........but what about for us addicted with flashing ROMs. My experience with Gameloft.com in the past, is as soon as I switched ROMs I could no longer use the game because it was purchased under the previous ROM. I don't know if things changed, but it seemed Gameloft used to have their games on lock down pretty well before. If things have changed and we can use the same .apk throughout multiple ROM swithches, then sweet I'll be all over it. So let me know if anyone has tried purchasing these games off of Gameloft.com and tried using them after flashing different ROMs.
I use titanium backup to restore em.. no problems what so ever chief. I just flashed back from CM7 (2.3) to stock today.. picked up right where I left off.
Also make sure you keep you're APKs in case you need to reinstall. secondly.. i read somewhere yesterday (and tested it) Gameloft lets you redownload apps as long as you can log back in.

Sweetness!!! That sounds awesome. Guess now that I think about it I never used TiBu in the past to restore my games because I used to have problems in the past. This was from my N1 times. LOL! Ok, though, thanks a lot for your response, that's exactly what I wanted to hear.
just remember if you switch from stock to cm you have to copy the gameloft directory over. (needs to be on external sd for CM7 and internal memory for stock).
EDIT: also.. i tried downloading some games I purchased on my G2 and got a "this is not an orginal.. bla bla bla" error. Hopefully they're working on it.. doesn't look like "cross device" installs will work. they're still device specific.. but cross roms is works with titanium
yea btate sometimes when i switch roms i go to titanium to restore some of my games n i get the error ur talkin about
really? that's odd.. i just flashed CM7 again and restored via titan and all is peachy (wanted to fact check so I didn't mislead anyone). However reinstalling with the APK.. that's a problem. Titanium solved that issue for me.
which games were you trying to run? i darn near have them all so maybe that issue could be game specific? (i didn't run each one. just spot checked 2 of them)
Also.. make sure you're copying your gameloft directory to the right place.

Ah ok good stuff. Yeah I remember the games always making a Gameloft directory folder on the external sd. I'll remember to copy it over. Right now I'm on EB1.0.4FR, so I'm still pretty much on stock ROM. But yeah, I can understand when you try to play a game you downloaded for a previous model phone on your new phone that it gives you that bullcrap error. BAH!!! Oh well! Hopefully they fix it, but I won't get my hopes up. LOL!
nova and nfs shift and sometimes it says something about a copy???
were they originally purchased on the G2X? like i said.. i can't get any of the games I purchased on other hardware to run.. but I can anything I purchased on teh G2X over different roms... at least starfront is working. I am starting to have a sinking feeling that I should just insert foot to mouth. i'm going to switch back to stock momentarily and double check this. oy vey.

This is why I refuse to buy games from Gameloft.
just confirmed. starfront DEFINITELY works across different roms. restored from backup on CM7... played fine.. just went back to a nandoid stock rom.. playing now.. picked up right where I left off. mileage varies i guess
well.. going forward, theoretically the ones you guy from the market should work accross devices.. which is why i'm suggesting everyone support and show gameloft YO.. GET YOUR BEHIND IN THE MARKET! maybe my thinking is backwards.. but I want gameloft to know that the android community supports them and we're willing to pay if they get off their behinds with that awesome catalogue of games.
This is really simple, and I really shouldn't have even started the thread name with "HOW-TO." But anyway, as some of you may know, Gameloft doesn't officially support the DROID Charge for whatever reason(s). However, they make some of the best games around for Android and I felt like testing some things on my own.
So after about 5 minutes (when the extra game files were done downloading), I was able to find my solution: any version of the games that you download will work, as long as they're a Galaxy __ version. For me, I used some Galaxy S-version downloads and they all worked great.
Hope this helped
hey so you all know you can actually edit your build.prop to play all the gameloft games in your build.prop you can edit your model brand name device and board to the following
ro.product.model=SCH-I500
ro.product.brand=verizon
ro.product.name=SCH-I500
ro.product.device=SCH-I500
ro.product.board=aries
so far i have tested with order and chaos and 2 other games
this will also allow you to access the gameloft store and see gameloft games in the marketplace

i500 is the Fascinate. i510 is the Charge. So change the above from i510 to i500.
yep i was trying to keep in the same line of phones to avoid getting some weird incompatible versions but so far the fascinate/galaxy s versions work great
The game got updated but I can't see it after searching for it in market. its under my Apps but not showing up after searching order and chaos nor is it letting me update
Edit: seems like everyone is having the same problem. It's a gameloft issue.

Moving from X to Charge
Ok, I am moving from a Droid X and had a question. I currently have about 12 Gameloft games I purchased from their onine store. What is the best way to transfer those to the Charge? I'm assuming the X apk's I have will not work. Do I just email Gameloft and tell them I switched to an i500? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have Black Pegasus that I bought on my Fascinate. If I load it on the Charge, it tells me it is not an original copy of the game.
Can this be fixed?
be aware there is a time limit on how long your gameloft games are available for download again from gameloft....i bought Lets Golf a long time ago, wiped my phone and didnt bother putting it back on for a couple months, then went to put it on and they say i no longer have access to that game because it had been over 60 days(i think that was how long it said)
from what i can tell there is no way to transfer games from one device to another so if you bought on a non fascinate/charge you are SOL, you may be able to get specific support but they have no transfer procedure on their website
Going from a Fascinate to a Charge though, do you have to edit the build.prop file?
I believe that some games are compatible without a build prop but most games need an edit to appear as a fascinate
I've tried 4 different games and they all worked without me changing build.prop.
I installed Modern Combat 2 and it just tells me that is is not an original copy. I did buy in for the Fascinate. Would editing the build.prop cause any other issues? Would this keep me from seeing things in the market?
Sorry for the noob questions.
Thanks
I had to change my build.prop to play order and chaos I'm not sure about others though, yes editing your build.prop will alter what you see in the market so if any development does kick up for the droid charge that is not compatible with the fascinate you won't see it in the market
Picked this up at the weekend from the US Gameloft Wap site only to find that Gameloft had linked to the incorrect download file which when launched would come up with a message in Korean complaining about not finding an ARM processor. However they have fixed this today and I have now downloaded it and like the other Gameloft Xoom games works with the an amended build.prop.
I overlooked saying what to change so have added this to the original post.
In the build.prop look for and change the following two lines they are a few lines apart.
PHP:
ro.product.model=Xoom
ro.product.manufacturer=Motorola
Just be sure to edit the right lines of text and reboot your transformer after editing it in order for the change to be picked up.
Also make a back up of the build.prop file first. Once changed you shouldn't need to change it again or back.
Original thread about changing the build.prop can be found here.

Are you guys able to access the Gameloft store from your TF with the edited build.prop? I have edited mine several times, but the Gameloft store is still knows I am on a TF, and tells me there are no compatible games .
DH2 works on my TF with hc 3.2. Optimalisation isnt good..frame rate in many moments isnt good...like 15 fps. Sometimes is smooth...this same is on motorola xoom. Ehhh gameloft should better optimalise theis games lake EA in dead space for phones.... I maid OC 1.6Ghz and fps still same like on 1Ghz.
It works for me without needing to edit build.prop. Unrooted here. But yeah, framerate is fricking bad, which is ridiculous when much more graphically intensive games run fine.

Glad you tested that as I was going to check on that tonight. Probably best to change the build.prop still if you're wanting the other gameloft games for Xoom, well except Spider-Man.

I am not noticing any slow FPS ..

You will notice slow FPS when u enter to forest....
Ok, so I have searched as hard as possible to find a solution or reason as to why N.O.V.A. 3 will not run on my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. There are videos of it working on YouTube and even some of the app reviewers in the market are using it as well. I open the game, Gameloft appears, the main screen pulls up, and dialogue box in the middle of screen says "Your device is not compatible with this game. Please request a refund." All i can click is "Ok" and it closes. Has anyone else experienced this
My SGT 2 10.1 is rooted using Weltwon's method and Superuser
I have same problem with my SGT 2 7"
I have repeatedly tried uninstalling the app AND deleting the Gameloft folder each time.
I would attempt calling for a refund but I'm pretty set on getting this to work with my Sixaxis
By the way my model number is GT-P5113
No help/ideas from anybody?
The gtabs do not include sqlite3, but some custom ROM's do. Maybe they'll fix your problem.

Hi, I'm having the same problem with Galaxy S 3.... The device is rooted and youtube is full of people playing the game on SGS3... yet downloaded the game tonite and got the dreaded "your device is not compatible".... to add insult to injury the market place doesn't even give me the option to request refund.
Anyone know of a hack to make the game playable ?
I'm a recent convert from IOS, and am used to everything just working, bit of a supprise to have so few games actually work on the SGS3..... nice to be free of itunes though
Mod edit: Warez are not allowed. Don't suggest it again.
Suggesting people to steal an App is a sure fired way to get banned around here... Just saying. Great write up other than the fact that you won't pay $6 for a great game.
Oh you misunderstand. I would pay for it if i could trust me, but its NOT availiable for my tablet so the only way to get the app (for me) is to do it this way. Once its availiable in the play store I'll buy it cuz i really love gameloft games. and btw i just tried doing the pay thing and it doesnt work
**Note to people using this method -- Dont use it to get around for paying for the game!!!!
-- Also I would change your build.prop back after you are finished.
So I've been busy and missed all these posts. Please let me remind the Mods that i have paid or this app, im just looking to see if a solution is possible. I did just read another thread about Gameloft games not working in general with the tab 2 7 and/or 10.1. I suppose I will wait for updates...
Sent from my GT-P5113 using XDA
idk if gameloft will release an update for a while. I emailed them (as have many others) and it doesnt seem like it will be availiable the normal way for a while
Just an update. I have been back and forth with gameloft. After explaining the problem, they sent me a "fresh" download link for the game. I uninstalled the game and deleted the gameloft sdcard folder. I then installed using their link. Gameloft "G" appears, then the NOVA 3 screen, then a new message appears: "A problem occurred and the download could not be completed successfully. Do you want to restart the download? An unstable network may cause problems when downloading." No matter how many times I click YES, reinstall the game, restart my router, or restart my tab, it continues to show this message.
Once again, I notified gameloft and am waiting for a reply.
Just now I realized the file name sent to me from gameloft is "NOVA_3_Paymium_HD_Samsung_GTP5100_android.apk". Maybe its the difference between a GT-P5100 and my GT-P5113?

I was vexed each time I read another thread about this issue on the gameloft forum where the admin simply responded "htc phones are not currently compatible with local multiplayer. Support might be added in the next update". I don't know what the beef is between gameloft and htc is but htc phones are very capable of this feature. If you edit your build.prop file to match that of a supported phone eg sgs2 gt-i9100, the local multiplayer option magically aappears. I've been enjoying bia2 deathmatch with my cousin over wifi for the past few days now. Hope this works for you guys too. What I would like to see is if you can play without connecting to wifi router. Maybe you can do portable hotspot with one of the phones

Note: I've only tried this on CM7 and a couple of other roms. I can't say how it would affect whatever ROM you're running so do a backup just in case
Use root explorer. the file is under system/ You may want to make a backup of the original one before editing
edit 5 things only:
ro.product.model=GT-I9100
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=GT-I9100
ro.product.board=GT-I9100
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
The above values are for samsung galaxy s2
After editing it go to settings. Manage apps, 'all' tab and look for google services framework, clear data and reboot. If you go to about phone It should show your model as gt i9100. Now go back to asphalt, the local wifi option should appear.
