modern combat no gyro? - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently baught modern combat 4 on my s2 and it had gyro option and it was great' then i got it for my tab 7 2, but it didnt have any gyro option, and then i tried moern combat 2 (original tab version ) and it had a gyro option but it doesnt do any thing, and i also tried nova 3 and the gyro isnt working either, and i really want the gyro cause gyro +touch = perfect play, so if there is any soliion i hope u can help.
Thanks in advance

I have Modern Combat 4 Zero Hour on my tab2 and didn't know there was ever a gyro option lol. What is it supposed to do? Change ammo or weapon mode like in Dead Space? I'll check on mine and see if there is any gyro. By the way, I found the game absolutely horrible... and I usually love all combat games :/
EDIT: I'm in OPTIONS > CONTROLS and the three control options I see are "classic controls" (slide it to the left for the other two), "screen tap" and "virtual sticks".
No gyro here.
Loaded the game and tried all kinds of things, shaking, gyro rotate left/right, up/down, and nothing happened.
Keep in mind that, if you got it from legit Google Play, the store will send the correct app for your device. Tablet versions of the game simply may not have gyro enabled by the developer, whereas your S2 version of the app will be correctly designed to make better use of the phone design. I've run into this a hundred times while testing non-legit sourced app versions, for example: Plants vs Zombies, the Galaxy S2 version is a totally different file size than the tablet version and won't load on my tab2... but it works great on my Droid 2!
You could try something, sometimes this works, and sometimes it doesn't... It isn't supposed to work so just be surprised if it does lol:
On your S2, find the .apk file for the game. It should be in /data/app/ folder and titled something like "com.gameloft.android.anmp.GloftM4HM-1.apk" or something close.
On your tab2, find the same .apk file and rename it, simply adding a ".bak" to the end of the name.
This is so you can rename it back to the original .apk easily if this doesn't work.
Copy the game .apk file from the S2 to the tab2 into the /data/app/ folder.
You usually do NOT need to actually install the app, just paste it in there.
Reboot and look in your app drawer for the game and run it.
It might run, it might not, but you may be able to have gyro this way. The graphics will probably be all kinds of jacked up, it will probably ask you to download more sd card data (cuz of the different version), and it probably won't be worth the trouble. But I like trying new things, to see what works and doesn't, so I would try it just for fun. Can't hurt anything. If it's a fail, just go into the data/app/ folder on the tab2 and delete the .apk you copied over and then rename the proper original .apk back to the stock.

thanks for the fast reply and i tried what u told me to and it didnt work, so it looks like the game doesnt support gyro on tabs
edit: aw i just saw videos of ppl playing it on tabs with gyro like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Irp7zQt54gU

The answer is easy.
The tab 2 doesnt have a gyroscope
Check the specs if u want

what if, it still has accelerometer which i played black ops zombies with, unless the game doesnt support it and it only suorts gyrocope.
and f so sn't there any way to ........like simulate it?

It doesnt support accelerometer
They are both completely different technologies and impossible to simulate

GTA III works flaswlessy on Tablet

All you have to do is purchase on phone and sideload it, it will let you download data directly from tablet, at 1mb per second, it took about 7 mins for the whole process, 400mb download and data install. Go buy now, best 5 bucks ever spent.
Ps. I bought using my evo 3d, which also runs the game perfectly.
Edit: before you start asking, how to sideload it:
Dropbox, gmail, titanium backup, blue-tooth, etc. It also verifys market, so make sure you buy it.
excellent news, I did download the app, but got error parsing package message. Also says incompatible with my p6200, lets hope for the best for us 3g guys.

Try downloading with phone, then sideload it. It should work since it works for dell streak, even though it is android 2.3, it is a 7 inch tablet. It worked on my SGT7+ wifi, it should work on Tmobile. Just make sure you purchase it.
Downloaded but seeing quite a bit of lagg. Replacing user data files with GSII files now hoping that they will fix it
Which version do you have? Wifi or 3g? Also did you just sideload apk, and download data from tab, or copy both. Mine has no lag whatsoever with the data download directly to tab. I also have no lag with the data downloaded from my evo 3d. They both work perfectly. I also recommend using the analog steering and driving controls.
I sideloaded the .apk and let it download, had lag, so I replaced the data files with ones for the GSII from a site I found. No lagg now, just had to reset the controls as it aligned them for the S2's resolution. I don't have another Android device so I had to go the less legal route to get the APK, but I have bought the game on the iPad so I don't feel bad about it. Thumbs down to Rockstar for not having the compatibility in order

Come one bro, dont include those details, as it can get you booted.
Also what type of lag were you referring to?
FPS issues in the entire game, basically. Driving around was very laggy and basically unplayable
The game is great and works better on 7 inches than the 10 inch iPad imho... just hope rockstar gets a grip and fixes compatibility settings. As a new Android user I can't even begin to express how utterly idiotic this issue with erroneous compatibility blocks is

Oh ok, mine still seems very responsive, Ill try other data file from other phones i have. Ill post results later. Yup, thats the problem with android fragmentation, but either way any android phone beats an iphone.
No...it doesn't. Believing that is just pure bias as there is no, and probably never will be, an OS that beats the other on everything. That's why I have one of each.
Youre still very new to this community, give it some time, to the infite modifications and freedom android gives you.
Customizing something all the way to Mars is nice, but still doesn't make up for lack of apps. I've been using the iPad in ways that physically aren't possible on Android because of the lack of certain apps and types of apps
give me an example and Ill try to tell which apps are available. I have over 400 apps installed. I go thru the apple catalog and I only see nonsense apps, or social apps, how many of those do you need. But its true there are more apps, but almost all are already in android. Maybe not the market but getjar, amazon market, appbrain and more.
Ok, here's a challenge for you, and if you do manage to find an app, you will be my hero:
One of my most used apps on the iPad is a certain type of note taking app. I say a certain type rather than a specific app as there are quite literally dozens of these available on iOS now. This type of app will let me import documents - minimum requirement is PDF, but more types is better - and write on top of them. So far Android has alternative. Then you get to the most important feature, magnification mode. The way this works in all of said dozen apps is that you have a window at the bottom of the screen that shows a small portion of the screen magnified. This allows you to write big letters and have it be shrunk down. These boxes are resizable and can be set for various zoom levels. They also have auto-advance, meaning that when you get to the end of the box it automatically moves it so you just write from the beginning again. This way you can write sentence upon sentence just as you would on paper, and just as accurately, even with a normal capacitive stylus. Other features that are often in these apps include the ability to insert images, machine text, web clips, audio recordings etc. You will also need to have the ability to export PDF. There are apps on android that can annotate PDF, but not at that level. All semester I've been using the iPad and nothing but the iPad both in lectures and outside, scanning paper documents using Scanner Pro and an external camera, annotating them (this is why just text editing is useless - I need to be able to have 100% control over size, placement, angle etc of the text on a page, underline and make arrows and drawings all over the place, not just write some text down) and storing them for reading. Just had an exam with 900 pages worth of curriculum and notes, all read on the iPad, and created on the iPad to begin with in the case of notes.
That kind of app in particular is crucial, and it has to be able to do exactly what I mention here, no "almost" with missing the magnification mode etc. They even provided all the lecturers with iPads this fall, and they've been using the same types of apps connected to projectors via VGA (try finding a VGA adapter for the galaxy tab, btw ).
This is just the ultimate example though, as it's not only the type of app I've used the most, but it's an app that is 100% productivity. No widgets, games or anything like that - it's a productivity issue, and an issue for Android's usability in settings outside of people who like to watch videos and play with ADWlauncher (which also includes me in my spare time, hence why I have an Android tablet).
Other examples off the top of my head: Splashtop's secondary product, xDisplay. It doesnt exist on Android (yet), and it's an example of an app where I don't care if there are "similar products" - it's the system I'm invested in and missing apps from major services like that is an issue. I could also bring up apps that have some sort of equivalent, but far from anything that works as good. Goodreader on the iPad -> ezPDF on Android, much less powerful app. Scanner Pro -> CamScanner, same thing, and they even broke 7.0 plus compatibility in the last update. There's no direct access app for the educational system my school uses, Classfronter, which isn't really an issue due to browser access but still an issue as it's slower. No good alternative to Reeder either, not that I've found anyways.
Education in itself is an interesting field. There are so many apps that make the iPad a powerful tool for both teachers and students on iOS. How about the ability to annotate documents wirelessly using Syncpad, an app that streams the image on screen to any HTML5 browser that's connected to the internet (not just local wifi)? Used that one a lot. Replaynote, letting you do notes and commentary and have it automatically turned into a video that you can send off to help people. Dictionary apps; when you study ENglish like I do, "a dictionary" isn't enough. You need as many as possible. That's iOS, not android.
Enough productivity. Fun apps. BBE's app has brought a music enhancement technology, that so far has only been licensed to Cowon for portable use, to iOS. There's no comparison to EQs in apps like Poweramp. Flipboard, awesome RSS reader that I use instead of Reeder when I want to relax, not read feeds for work. Tried Pulse, not the same, or even close. Neither is Currents. Zinio is luckily on both OSes though there are several magazines that are only available through Newsstand. Connecting the iPad to a synthesizer via USB and playing around with it on an amateur level is always fun.
Enough examples.
I love my 7.0 Plus. I love how personal the homescreen is after tweaking it, Google Talk on it is awesome, it's the device I reach for to check email in the morning, I love using a Wiimote for games, i use it as a mouse and keyboard for my PC in bed, remote control utorrent, browse the web, as a flashlight at night (LOVE that), video support makes me weep tears of joy, read books that aren't scanned A4 documents (and hence possible to reformat for 7 inches) etc. It's a great device, which is why I have it. However it isn't perfect. There's plenty of room for both OSes in my life, for the exact reason that neither is perfect.
Repligo reader for first, lets you write on top of pdf files (shapes, text,highlight, selections,w/e), I use it in class alot, but also lean to quick office since I just use camera to copy what i dont feel like typing.
Currents instead of pulse, much better. Also with repligo everything should be capable to be done, what ios app are you refering to which can do all that.
splashtop is on android also.
I think I answered what you needed, to long to read over again, while trying to study for nueuro final.
How did you get the GTA apk to your Tab? I tried AppInstaller, but I get an "access denied" error when I try to export it?
*edit* Nevermind. I was able to get the apk using Root Explorer. Can't wait to fire it up!

you need root, and you can use root explorer to copy, to sd card. Make sure you click on r/w to be able to write and copy.

[Q] monopoly

LOL! Well at any rate, to the OP, to bad you missed Monopoly on free app of the day on Amazon. On the Transformer you can tell the screen is a bit stretched and there are one or two minor annoyances but I've played numerous full games on it and found it to be of reasonable entertainment.
Yeah I should keep my eyes open for those deals. Ive tried a few diffrent versions of monopoly and it just goes back to the main screen when I try to start it. What version is that monopoly on the market?

When was monopoly free? I've checked amazon daily, and never saw it?
Edit: 12/28 SUNOFA!!!! I was at my parents house and forgot to check!!!!! The one day...
The free version of Monopoly Amazon offered was pretty awful compared to the purchased one on the market.
The paid version has a decent chunk of higher resolution resources to download post install and looks much better, especially on a larger screen.
Yes, there is one out by EA Games on the Android Market. There are small errors in it because it was not coded for tablets, but it works well most of the time.
Outside of a slight screen stretch, the only error I've run in to is when trading with someone, the icons shift and you have to 'ghost tap' an area and guess where it will land.
As already stated, it was the free app of the day a while ago on Amazon, so I wouldn't expect it free anytime soon.
I bought mine in market, all working fine. Im not 100% happy because it saved a lot of images in my gallery, no idea why. Any1 have the same problem?

I think they're part of the data needed for the game. If you want to hide the images from the galery display you can do the following:
1) Create a file named .nomedia inside the folder.
2) Erase galery and media storage cache.
3) Reboot your TF
And the images won't be displayed in the Galery!
I've purchased Monopoly with my GS2 but I'm unable to download it on my TF101G, it's incompatible. Do you know why?

This sounds like a great fix and hoping I can use it with Beautiful Widgets too cause i've got 400+ images from that app alone in my gallery.
Inside which folder is it that you make a file called .nomedia?
/data/beautifulwidgets/ then put the .nomedia in the root of that folder. Clear gallery cache, fc it and reopen. No need to reboot but you can if you want.
Will also help with battery life from the long scanning as well as boot you time bc the function of the .nomedia is to tell your media scanner to skip that file.

Monopoly Deal

I converted a .jar file of the game. It was a good trial and error with the different kinds of Monopoly Deal java games out there. This is not prefect, but playable on my Lenovo S890. Just had to fix some settings. After you install it, launch it. It will ask you to download App Runner. Choose download from netmite because you won't find it anymore on the Play Store. But I also uploaded the .apk file of App Runner and the QR Code. After everything is installed, run the app, then click your menu button and click settings menu, go to settings option and click Auto detect Game Canvas, then click back. If it's too small, you can go to the systems menu and play around with the zoom display. Try playing around with the settings to suit your taste. The display is set to 240x320. To me, that is the best option I can do (I am not a programmer, just a die hard Monopoly Deal fan who wants the program on his phone). If anyone can make a better one to fit 16:9 (540x960 on my phone) I would deeply appreciate it. I used the site netmite (just google it), to convert the java game. I also included the java game for the Nokia 5800 (which has a touch screen). But when I convert it, the ratio is all screwed up. Maybe some good soul can figure this out. Have fun.:fingers-crossed:

Funny you say this, I keep googling "Monopoly Deal Android" just to make sure no one has made it yet
I'm working on a University project which had me make a team to make the game and release it on the Play Store, so Hope we finish it so you can play it! (I think we'll have a different name & design due to copyright issues but It'll be the same game )

[APP][IDEA]Accelerometer as Mouse/Racing Wheel

Hi XDA. I have found Lot of APPS to share Acelerometer from my Android Device as Racing Wheel to my PC.
I like it, but, do yu know Oculus Rift? It´s cool.
Idea: APP, that shares Acelerometer from my Android Device, as Mouse to FPS Games.
How? Simply Attach Phone to forehead with headband, and share Accelerometer to PC, face to Screen middle, and hit "CALIBRATE" on PC.
Then start any FPS Game like Minecraft, Counter Strike, Battlefield... and Play.
I know, Oculus have screen on Glasses, and PC monitor is Static, but it works on another principle.
How many do you move your head to any side, so fast will be cursor move to this side, until you dont move your head to center.
Is it possible? And can someone to Make APP for this?
Best will be this mouse function, with Racing Wheel function in one APP.
Or, It will be auto-changed on PC accordingly, what for game you will start.

Hi, i was using this:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.kyberback.steeringwheel
i found Cracked version on google.
but, it is ilegal, so, you can download one of free versions:
- DEMO play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.kyberback.steeringwheeldemo
- .me1 play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.kyberback.steeringwheeldongle (i dont know what for verson is it. )
OR you can buy PRO version, when you like.
But, dont forget to install software on PC, and in GTA enable joyistick/gamewheel key configuration.
If it does not work, try this PATCH to directx, and set up controller.

Doom 3 runs great on our phone :)

There's plenty of info on Doom 3 here on XDA but I just wanted to let you all know that it runs very well on our device.
I've just finished playing the whole way through using a Moga Pro, with graphics set to 'ultra' using the in-game menu, plus a few tweaks in the config file. A lot of the time the frame rate sits at 60, and on a few occasions slows down into the 40s. I'm guessing it gets lower than that at times as there is a little stuttering here and there but it's over very quickly and then recovers to maximum again.
I'm using the game data from an installation on my PC that I made using a CD ROM purchased for £5 years ago from the 'sold out' range of PC titles, but you can still download it from Steam I believe.
You need to have the game patched to version 1.3.1 on your PC before copying the 'base' folder over to your device. Place it inside a folder called 'diii4a' in internal storage, then download the free Diii4a app from the Play Store.
See below for screenshots showing what options I have checked/unchecked in the launcher app. I'll attach a couple of in-game screenshots and also my config file that sits in the base folder.
There are a few glitches in the game. In some places glass textures do not load. In some areas the teleportation lighting effects look blocky. I didn't bother trying any further tweaks as it didn't spoil the experience.
If you get choppy or distorted sound, just come out of the game and launch the diii4a app again.
Finally, note that in the diii4a launcher app you can configure the on screen controls in the game. You need to find somewhere to put the keyboard icon if you want to have access to the console in game. You can also adjust the opacity of the on screen controls so that they don't get in the way.
Oops, config file....
Also, there's a glitch where the ammo counter doesn't show on the mini-gun.

Well, the app is free so you just need the game data. If you don't have a Steam account, you could buy a PC CD ROM of the game from eBay or somewhere like that. There will secondhand ones kicking around....
Edit. There are loads on eBay UK for under £4. Not sure where you are, but there will be some about if you want to keep things legit.
Please assist on Oneplus 5
hi guys!
Can you please help me? I'm trying to make it run on my OP5.
The diii4a launches and all that, but when I touch on New Game, I get stuck on the loading screen foreer.
the bar fills up, but nothing else happens... the screen just freezes.
I'm currently on Android Pie using Open Beta 35, non rooted device.
