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

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.

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.)

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.

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 .

Post-Launch Nabi 2 Tablet FAQs
Q: Where is Google Play? How do I install it?
A. Google's Support Site: The Android operating system is open source, which means that any device manufacturer is free to use Android on its devices. However, Google Play is an application that is only made available to devices that pass Google’s compatibility requirements. In addition, manufacturers must obtain a license from Google in order to install the Google Play Store app on their devices.
If you don’t have the Google Play Store app, and your device is not listed here, that means your device is not supported for use with Google Play at this time.
There is currently no Google Play Store apk that can be sideloaded successfully onto the nabi 2 Tablet without experiencing Forced Closure when used. Fan-a-Tech Eric is working hard on a solution that will allow users to do this. When available it will be posted here on the blog.

My 2 year old loves her Nabi2, also had a Nabi1 before she was 2. Suprised on how fast they learn to navigate the screens.
She is pretty advanced for her age, but they are setup pretty easy, so I am sure your kid would be fine if they are at least an average kid. Some kids that are slower learners may have some issues at 2.

I have an iPad 3 and my daughter likes playing with that. Of course, I'm hesitant to let her really get into it considering A: It's $500, B: It's MY tablet, meaning I have my own apps and stuff that I don't want her messing with, and C: Because she just LOVES touching that home key, it's hard to keep her in 1 app.
Still, the tablet does look intriguing. I think that tablet computers can be good learning tools. Hell my old kindergarten has a whole slew of iPads that they let the students use, although they have more plastic surrounding them than Joan Rivers' face so that they don't break when dropped or beaten up. And quite frankly, given how begrudgingly I picked up the iPad, the last thing I need is to bring yet ANOTHER one of them in the house. 2 iPads are enough (my wife has my old 2 and I have the new generation model.) I like to think we balance it out with 2 Samsung Android phones.
I actually just put two of these on layaway at Walmart this Saturday. One for my 8yo stepson who's been hounding me for a tablet for about a month, and the other for my 2yo. My little guy steals my Nexus 7 all the time to play Sonic CD and even posts pictures of himself on my google+ account. You'd be amazed at how fast a child can pick up the UI on an android device, it's so intuitive. I think any child lucky enough to have parents willing to blow $200 on a "toy" for a preschooler will have a field day with the Nabi. Now I'm just hoping that we have the play store fully functional before Christmas. I've purchased almost every high end game from gta3 thru horn, and was and am planning on linking my google acct, and installing them onto the boys tablets after they open them. I really wish I could get my hands on one now so I could pull a log-cat and see what's going on when you try to install an app.

You can install an app just fine, but from what I have been reading the problem is the play store and google services framework do not have root access. You can only install them on the data partition and not the system partition. We need to be able to root the Nabi to be able to get the Play Store to work. I am assuming no parent is willing to accidentally brick their child's tablet trying to do this. Does anyone even know what drivers we would use for ADB?

You can only install them on the data partition and not the system partition. We need to be able to root the Nabi to be able to get the Play Store to work. I am assuming no parent is willing to accidentally brick their child's tablet trying to do this. Does anyone even know what drivers we would use for ADB?

Been awhile since I messed with mine(Well hers), but I think the drivers I installed for rooting my Nexus7 also saw the Nabi2 as an ADB device. Also had a few ideas but my 2-1/2 year old would FREAK if I bricked her Nabi2. I still have a Nabi1(Already rooted) being I got the VIP Gold and was sent an email that I can keep my Nabi1 even with them sending me the Nabi2, too bad Nabi1 is not closer and I would have something to "TEST" with.
So I found a driver that I could use to for ADB and I used the universal root from Bin4ry but it was a no go. Has anyone else tried anything different to try to root their Nabi 2? Would be nice to know what has not worked so far.
Something a little off subject does anyone know how to change the default keyboard. Going in and out of Daddy mode switches the keyboard back to the Android keyboard after switching it to Swiftkey.

No such luck
Been trying the script all afternoon with a brand new Nabi 2.
Script runs, but no SU/root access.
I've done it after wipes
I've done it after entering Mom mode
I'm running the latest Nabi Update.
I also noticed after running the script that several of the apps are wiped:
Skype, Their browser, iheartradio all disappear. They're reinstalled after a complete reset.

Hello, I had a pirate fpse app and had trouble with the license check failed but got a serious spanking from admin for talking about this, so I did the right thing and go out and buy the app but I now have trouble with 2 of my favorite games, street fighter 3 alpha & mortal kombat trilogy. Both of my games have now froze on a black screen when trying to load up, I have uninstalled and then installed but still have the same problem, does anybody out there have a fix or know where I could pick a working Rom online.
Thanks in advance.
Ps sorry admin, I hope you are allowed to ask about roms online? If not please feel free to close this thread.
I'm not surprised you got a lashing for mentioning using pirated software. Glad you purchased the app, as the devs really do great work, and deserve the measly couple of dollars.
Using game ROMS off websites is fine, but the disclaimer usually mentions that you should own the game if downloading a ROM.
At one stage I played MK3, so it must be the ROM you are using. Have you ever successfully got it to work? Like prior to your purchase?

Yes this is correct, I was able to play both games before installing the paid app. I am currently searching the net but struggling to get any download from various sites, and yes I did own these games in the past but are long gone now.

Have you check the video setting since purchasing the app what device did you use it for. I have nexus seven and i played street fighter alpha. I had bit trouble creat the files with the tools i found online but there is a site called cool roms that has the files. You must own the game first.
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.

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:

Hm... Yes, I see it. Odd, I typed in Gameloft and that one rolled out... Google managed to do something seriously wrong with their Playstore search bar.. Irony at it's finest. xD
Too bad on need for speed hot pursuit that we CAN'T DOWNLOAD THE ADDITIONAL FILES NEEDED TO PLAY. I called ea about it and they never called back, I knew they wouldn't becuase its an ongoing problem.

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.

When you launch the game it needs to download additional files, when you click to do so you get error 5002, I called EA about it and they never called back, just look at the reviews for the game filter to tf700 and you'll see what I'm talking about.

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.

I think I remember this work around a while back. I will transfer the data from my prime to the tf700 and see how it goes. Thanks for bringing this up.

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.
