According to some of the reviews, apparently not.
Damn it, will buy it when it does
Or if someone modifies the Apk or game files to support bigger screens
Doesnt run full screen on asus tf101. But they should patch soon. Doesnt affect game play.

Disagree. I think its awesome. It is not full screen on my tf101. But it doesnt bother me or affect the game. Obviously it would be nice to have it full screen and reading the forums it will be made that way soon.

Help!
Hey guys. I've got a problem with his app and it seems I need your help.
Installed it, ran it, it asked to download some data in order for it to run, that got downloaded,it said, please wait while the data is being installed to the sd card, this will only happen once but might take a while. After reading that I opened whatsapp and used that for a bit while FM was running in the background. After 5 minutes I opened it and the app restarted. Then, it gave me the error that FM has failed to start, it also gave 3 possible reasons for it:
a) Not enough space on phone/sd card (Can't be, because there's 700mb free on the phone memory of my desire s, and more than 5 gb free on my sd card)
b) Another instance of the game is running, please wait 30 seconds after exiting and try again (Tried that, once after a minute's wait, then again, it gave the same error - this was after I had killed the process using advanced task killer - it kept giving the same error)
c) I don't remember the third suggestion but it wasn't important.
Now, point is, right after this, I uninstalled the game and tried to install it again, the setup stopped with 'game not installed' message. Tried it again, same error. Restarted the phone (By the restart option on desire s, didnt turn it off, I have fastboot disabled though) and it gave the same, 'game not installed' error again when i tried to run the setup.
How do I fix this? Please help. I have loved this game on my pc since I was a kid. I NEED this on my phone. Please help help help.
Please also note that I deleted the data on sd card located at android/data in sd card, before attempting to install
Not sure mate. If you have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. It installed first time on my sgs2 and on my asis tf101. Suggest you goto the sigames forums.

If you're still having a problem with running the game please feel free to email me at [email protected] and I'll do my best to get you up and running asap.
PS - The most common cause of that error is simply someone having plugged their device into a PC to charge and left 'disk sharing' enabled so that the app can't see its data, if thats the case please disable the sharing before starting the game.

Sorry that the approach taken isn't to your liking.
I did most of the work on the Android version of Football Manager Handheld in my spare time as a labour of love because I believe in the platform, SEGA/SI were kind enough to back me once I had the prototype working and allow the work to continue in house and be formally released.
As such I'll readily admit there the game doesn't initially cover all resolutions - its something I've tried hard to indicate publicly to people before release, along with the fact that post-release we'll be looking at providing additional skins.
It would have been fairly easy to 'stretch' the skins to fill up the entire page incidentally, but this would have lead to fuzzy text on a lot of devices and potentially headaches for people playing for long periods - something I personally would prefer not to happen.
For this reason I chose the 'bordered' approach - this allowed us to support as many devices as possible for the games release and also allows us to add additional skins in as we release updates, I fully realise this approach isn't something everyone will appreciate - but I still believe it was the best option available (short of my brain being made larger and/or me not requiring sleep ).
Hope this helps,

Good update released which brings full screen skin for tablets.

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 have tried on my CM9 Evo and CM9 Iconia A500, and in both instances the application works (sometimes I have to wipe data, sometimes it works flawlessly).
The point of this is to modify the application itself, without touching the device files, making it work with almost any version of Android (Gingerbread and up because that is the Kindle Fire version).
So far, I haven't come up with much in the past few days. I'm still looking though.
Also, my thoughts on Cablevision:
I think Cablevision is actually one of the "good guys". They have cheap plans, fantastic service, and they really do want to help their customers. Their TV service is great, and it offers a lot of fantastic channel choices. The Internet is really good, as I always get at least 25 up/down with very low ping (I do enjoy gaming).
I don't like the fact that they haven't come out with a streaming application for Android yet, but it is obvious that they are making progress. I do like watching TV on my laptop, and it is nice to know that I can watch it on an iOS device if I ever get one again. The fact that they have an application for an Android device just shows that they are very close to a full Android release.
I changed buildprop values to resemble kindle fire. It didnt work on my SGS3 stock ICS neither on my toshiba thrive stock ICS

Nice to hear! I love working for them. I used to work at Comcast but I lived in cable vision territory so I thought why not do the same job and get free service lol. They are definitely putting for effort in trying to offer the same experience for both iOS and android. I've been bugging them since I started and I might pursuit the development side. Maybe I can find out more when I am back in on monday .
Any chance to get it working on an "ASUS Infinity"

Sorry for not update everyone. In this case, no news is bad news. I got very frustrated with working with the app on Thursday, so I will resume my work on Monday. So far, I have made no progress. I will start to reach out to some actually successful application modifiers soon to get some real help if I can't figure it out myself.
Thanks for being so patient.
From the release of the Infinity, there has been low compatibility with apps and especially games. Some have said it is related to lack of developer support for the high res screen. Others have suggested the Nexus 10 will force developers into support for the new generation of where's-those-pixels tablets.
Both Skype and Rock star announced tablet optimised app releases in the coming fortnight (the latter for Vice City). The TF201 is on both compatibility lists but no Infinity. Is this deliberate? Or did hardly any Infinities sell and hence support for it make no business sense? In addition I don't see many EA or Gameloft releases, both old and new, supporting our machine.
Perhaps I'm being impatient and this is just the early adopter first world problem. Or maybe it's another reason to jump ship to the N10.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Not just the TF700. The Note 10.1 has the same issue. As does pretty much every other HD tablet.
They work fine. I've got nearly every supposedly 'not-compatible' game running, no issues...
The thing is this. Devs made their games in a low res. They're too lazy to re-release the games with a higher resolution. (adding the infinity to the list won't change the ingame res, it'll still be upscaled.)
All they have to do is update the texture packs, but they simply won't. Of course not,
EA has always been too arrogant for customer support. (Don't believe me? The EA Master Server was dead every day in BF2, and they haven't changed anything, not even a cable, 8 years, 7 Triple-A games and 9 expansions later. The Master server still erases profiles&progress nearly once a day, fails twice a week completely and crapped out on the release night of BF3 and stayed down for almost 3 days...)
Gameloft is Ubisoft's mobile section, so that speaks for itself in terms of a completely non-existent customer support.
To be fair, though, Gameloft has a decent amount. EA is just an arse:

Please clarify. There's a hundred ways in which you 'can't download'. Error? Doesn't start? What?
I side loaded most of my gameloft games that's not available on the market and they work fine. Some games however will have smaller menu screens or smaller on screen buttons. An example is wild blood. Come to think of it's that the only one I recall right now. EA games however, you get a server error when games open. With the exception of NFS Most Wanted. It can open but plays slow. Like playing in slow motion. Theres a mod to make it faster though. Glu games are all available. Most other apps are too.
On nexus 10 almost all the games for gameloft, EA are available from the market and all work without issues. Once exception is wild blood is not available but can be side loaded but buttons are even smaller and menus are blank. So really not playable. Most other apps are available too.
It maybe a matter of not being able to test their apps so they dont make it in the compatibility list? But it does suck that tf700 out of the box is not supported by most. Seems like its the misfit of all the devices due to its unique screen resolution.

Yup. Pretty serious, too xD. Used to be in a clan (before we all parted ways), was clanleader for almost a year, as well as led several division. Even played in the ESL and Clanbase finals for SWBF2, BF2142 and FEAR. (we won swbf2 several times :highfive: )
Been out of it all for a while now, though. Too little free time, and the games are too bloody expensive (And there's no fun in it anymore, all those kids and aim assist.. (we used to call it aimbots, and they got you permbanned..... now it's part of the game )
Aaaand we're off topic again xD Oops...
With the increase of 1080p phones in the next year being announced, I would expect that app developers would start to catch up with high resolutions. It's always been a matter of time.

That's a resolution-not-found error.
Basically, it means the installer can't find the files related to the device's resolution. (Evidently, as they don't exist.) You can call them until hell freezes over, it's not going to be resolved.
There's only one way around that, and that is to download and install the SDdata manually. There's plenty of sites that offer them. I don't think it counts as illegal to manually download the data if you already paid for the .apk in the playstore.

Same issue, same result. Not able to copy data from my S3 for this. Any solution?
My result with NFS most wanted is sideloading the apk from my s3 worked fine and it downloaded the data when I opened the game. Game is in slow motion however.
For NBA jam or Mass Effect when I transfer the apks and open the game I get an error. I copied the SD data also but same error on Mass Effect and on NBA jam the screen just flickers with the NBA jam logo.

I have nba jam on my tf700 and I downloaded it directly from the market when it came out, works fine too.
Edit: Oh F Me, I must've not downloaded the extra files, now I get the server error 5002 crap. I am just about done with this, either google steps up, takes a hit to make customers happy and apply some rules to the market, or people are going to start to leave the android tablet market and seek refuge with apple, at least we know they have rules for supporting their devices. I know, I know- itunes, evil apple and closed system, but I am willing to live with that but I would be able to download and play every game on their market without worries that my device would be incompatible for years to come.
GOOGLE GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND FIX THIS, IT'S BEEN AND IS GETTING WORSE, NOT BETTER!
I wouldnt necessarily blame google though. They have set of guidelines that if followed, apps should upscale correctly to fit larger resolution screen. Devs are just lazy and unfortunately some of them don't support tf700.

I do blame google, they allow the apps on the market without trying to hold the devs accountable to following the rules. why have guidelines if they aren't going to be enforced in any fashion. Sure, our devices were the first to hit the 1080p resolution in the Android market, but **** none of the big players are interested in supporting it. Even if they say they support it they really don't. As an example, you can buy need for speed for the infinity, it says it's compatible in the market, you can download the base files, but your f'd trying to download the additional files needed to play. ow whos fault is that? Google for allowing it to happen or EA for even allowing the base file to be downloaded? In this case, it's both parties, but when it comes to overall compatibility it's on googles shoulders for not enforcing some sort penalty.
It really doesn't matter what I think, they got my money and I'll make sure I don't fall in the shame on me catagory.
Oh and the Zen pinball not compatible issue, they turned it back on for the tf700 after I had a nice conversation with them about it not working. I will cut and paste my emails and their responses. BTW it all happened in a 30-45 minute window.
This is how devs should respond to issues with their apps.
This is me emailing them about the problem with Zen Pinball after the latest update.
"Hi,
I am a little more than frustrated with your company right now. I had this game running perfectly fine before the latest update, which broke portrait mode, so I figured I would un-install it then re-install it to see if that would fix the issue. Low and behold my device is NOW INCOMPATIBLE, which is a crock of you know what, it worked great before this last update. My device is a tegra 3 device, this game is marketed as a tegra 3 game with enhanced visuals, my daughters FUHU NABI 2 is compatible, a friggin kids tablet is compatible but my $600 Infinity isn't? Pleae send me the old apk so I can play one of my favorite games again.
Thank You".
Their response,
"Hi Cris,
Thank you for your email. We are aware of the issue with portrait mode, and will be issuing a fix shortly.
I am not sure why your device is now listed as incompatible, but I will look into this right away.
These updates are tricky, there always seems to be issues that we could not test for, or weird settings that we need to look at in the Google Store."
My response back,
"I appreciate your timely response to this problem, I contacted google play and they looked on the blacklist and the infinity is listed on that, just an FYI. Once this issue is resolved can you please email me and let me know because it really was my favorite game on the market.
Thank You."
And their response,
"We are turning the device back on momentarily. Portrait mode will not work yet, but should work soon as well. Apologies for the inconvenience."
Talk about easy, I mean they gave personal responses, not canned, looked into the problem and made available again in less then an hour. This is great customer service and in turn make me want to buy more of their games.
Edit:
More information from Zen Studios
Hi Cris,
The device was turned on about an hour ago, but could take up to an hour longer to reinstate. Please let me know if things continue to not work for you a few hours from now.
Before i start barking up the customer support tree, i was hoping to get some insight from the forum. Paid 20 bucks for this game and all it does on my phone is crash seconds after launching. I'm running Jellybam and wondering if anyone else has this game working for their device. Thanks!

Before contacting customer support (which I don't recommend, seeing as your using a custom ROM), I'd try a stock Sense ROM with the game, and see if that improves anything. HTC knows their GPUs better than anyone, and there is a pretty good possibility the game will work with proprietary drivers.
The best comparison I can draw is this: Battery life on my Dell XPS 15 inch triples on my Linux partition when I use proprietary drivers compared to the open source ones, because the open source drivers weren't optimizing the GPU clock speed and screen brightness well.
Try the company's software that made the phone first before anything else.
Pretty sure I remember something along the lines of Square Enix making their games unplayable on rooted phones. This might be one.

For the benefit of anyone else who finds this on Google:
SEE Agent Pierre: Hello and thank you for contacting SQUARE ENIX Customer Support. Just a few moments while I review your question, please.
You: Okay.
You: Are you still there?
SEE Agent Pierre: just a moment please
You: Okay, no problem.
SEE Agent Pierre: (sorry about that, will be 2 minutes if you're ok to hold)
You: Yeah, that's fine.
SEE Agent Pierre: thank you for waiting Sir
SEE Agent Pierre: so I understand you are having issues with FF Dimensions on yur Galaxy Note, is that right?
You: Galaxy Note II, yes.
You: It crashes on launch. I wondered if this might be related to being rooted or setting a different DPI, but I didn't get time to test these things because of Google Play's 15 minute refund window. If it is one of those things, and there's something I can do about it, I can purchase it again.
SEE Agent Pierre: so you have been refunded the game by now and do not have it installed anymore ?
You: Correct. I'm seeing if I can find out what the issue was before I consider re-purchasing.
SEE Agent Pierre: alright no worries
SEE Agent Pierre: the fact that it is rooted is one of the cause
SEE Agent Pierre: If you bear with me I will look for any compatibility issue with the game and the G.Note 2
You: Okay, thanks. As much as I'd love to play the game, I'm not willing to un-root to do so. If there's a workaround that allows play on rooted devices, that'd be grand.
SEE Agent Pierre: alright, no compatibility issue was found with your device however it must not be rooted to support the game.
SEE Agent Pierre: you will need to un-root it but apparently you are not ready to do so
SEE Agent Pierre: is there anything else I can do for you today?
You: Is this the case for all Square Enix games? I was looking at Chrono-Trigger as well. I'm quite keen to give you my money, but not at the expense of being able to use a device I bought how I wish to use it.
SEE Agent Pierre: yes that's quite standard, you will find that in all our games
SEE Agent Pierre: sorry about that
SEE Agent Pierre: anything else I can help with?>
You: Thanks. Might be worth informing the person who made that decision that piracy is just as easy with or without root access and you're reducing your market somewhat.
You: I'll see if I can pirate the game and I'll purchase it from the Play Store again (though not actually download it) if I get the pirated version to work on my device. Seems to be my only option to actually play your games in a fair manner that means Square Enix gets paid.
You: Which is an odd situation but here we are.
SEE Agent Pierre: Thank you for visiting our SQUARE ENIX Support Chat line. Take care and have a good day!
You: Thanks for your help, all the best.
SEE Agent Pierre: you too, bye
Dimensions works fine for me on both jellybam, rebelrom, and cleanrom... I can't get it to work on CM and xylon

I was able to get the game to start by restoring app data via TiBackup from a device that was able to run the game, after saving the game once. In my case it was an Asus TF300 to my Samsung Galaxy Note 2

OP updating. The game appears to run just fine on viperXL. On my nexus 7 it works fine on stock. Next time I change roms I'll follow the above post and use tibu

I have exactly the same issue, here with a note2 and paranoid rom, I just purchase this game, and it won't run, everytime I want to run it, it crach.
Apparently, nobody find somethink to help with it.

Restore app+data using TiBackup from a device that works after you save at least once. Restoring before you save the first time will not fix a game that crashes on launch.

Just have a problem.... I have no unrooted device to make this titanium backup...
Right, so the APK itself is what checks for root access. I replaced the APK from the Play Store with an APK I got from somewhere else, and it works. Just installed it over the top. The game also checks for a legit Play Store license, which I have because I bought it. So no problems there.
Over-zealous anti-piracy methods push legit customers to piracy to get around them. Ridiculous. I don't advocate piracy, but if I've paid for something then all bets are off as to how I choose to make it work.
I'm also sticking to the XDA rules by not advising how you would go about duplicating my method. I'm hoping that mentioning the fact I got the APK from elsewhere is within the rules.
All the best.

I might be off here, since I'm still at the start-up crash stage, but it sounds like you have a version mismatch with the asset data. Make sure the APK is the same version as the hidden data.
SQ game me two official answers (none was the root issue)
1) Hide the shade bar.
2) Clear data, cache, and re-install.
Obviously neither worked. (Defy XT557D; stock V1.0.1 rooted crash, stock V1.0.2 rooted crash, hacked V1.0.2 over official license (with stock play store) crash.)

That worked. I had Black Infinitum installed and as soon as I went back to the stock them, Dimensions booted up. But then I installed Black Exodus, and FF Dimensions booted up as well lol. Thanks
