[Q] heroes of might and magic for android

hi guys, i'm totally noob about it so i ask for indulgent. i was wondering if theres any possibility to convert heroes of might and magic III to play it under android ? i know there's a version designed for ppc, but for android? thanks for help.

+1 for this request

Seeing as it's a copyrighted game, I'd say it's pretty much no. Unless there is an official port made, of course, which is doubtful.
Now, if there will be a similar game, that's whole other question..

yes it is copyrighted, but anyway it's available for ppc and therefore it's made by amateur. so maybe you know any rpg-look alike game for android which would be 'handle' with touch screen? cheers

@seereek:
You were speaking about Pocket Heroes, that were published some time ago on ppc platform... And some time ago I was also interested to play it on my android, but then I've found a news in which the developer was saying, that there will be no port to android :-(
Sorry mate

If I remember correctly Someone ported it or something like that for WM when I was on the HTC pure (topaz2) forum I found it. I even dl it and played it I think they release the Source code or something thats why it was ported

I feel You man... i'm looking for a game which will fill my time on the classes... something epic and long and "cool". sth which will provide me long hours of fun. too shame there's no homm for android. sure its an old game but after all these years it an awsome game.

Maybe there is a developer on xda that would take the challange of porting Palm Heroes to Android?

Would be lovely. I'll ask

Will you settle for Heroes of Might and Magic 2?
Google "Free Heroes 2 - Heroes of Might and Magic 2 v0.6.4"
It will be your second search result from the top.
I DLed and installed and and it works great! Your finger taps act as point clicks so it controls great. Only downside is that the resolution is a bit small on the eyes at 640x800 (on Epic 4g) but it runs buttery smooth in motion

Can I just confirm I'm meant to be copying cache files to \data\data\net.sourceforge.fheroes2 ?
I dont have an app-data/net.sourceforge.fheroes2 folder like it says. I left the resolution to 640 x 480 since there isnt a resolution that suits the samsungs 800 x 480...

[GUIDE] Connect Wii Controller to G Tablet and Play Games

Hey All. I figured I would do a video tutorial on how to connect the Nintendo Wii controller to the Viewsonic G Tablet. I connected it earlier today and it works great. This is just a basic tutorial showing you what you need and how to use it, but it does not go into detail on the specific options of the programs. Here are the programs that you will need to download from the android market to get started:
1. Romgripper
2. DroidEmuLite
3. WiimoteController
Enjoy!

anyone try this out yet? any issues or tips? Please post if you have found any.
Thanks,
scott

I actually knew how to do this already but the one thing that I'm not sure of is if we can play a two player game on this thing using two wiimotes? I see that the wiimote program sees both controllers but it doesn't do anything while using it in the SNES or tigermame emulators. Hope u can help. Great vid btw.

Epic. So glad I found this. Reinforces my thankfulness for buying this Tab.

can this also be done with a ps3 remote?

The Wii remote also works great with Quake as well. Pretty neat ability of the gtab.

I am unable to locate romgripper via the android marketplace or amazon marketplace on the gtablet. Anyone have a valid link to the apk?

Works fine on Brilliant Corners. Was using it earlier to play Legend of Zelda quest 2. Not using any guides so this is gonna take a while to beat.

Brilliant Corners? Is that a game?
Are you using stock? I haven't rooted my gtab. Was hoping it would not be necessary.

Anyone able to use the nunchuck joystick as a proper joystick with incremental speed for walking vs. running? I am only able to map up, down, left and right. I expect it's impossible, but it would make n64oid massively more fun.

Brilliant Corners is a ROM with a 1.2 bootloader by roebeet. It's a lot like Vegan Tab 5.1.1.
I'm using nesoid to play the roms & the wiimotecontoller app to connect the wiimote via bluetooth.

Awe, Hell Yes! CounterStrike on Android!

Apparently it has Xperia play controls too. I think this has made my week (downloading now, I'll report when I have it running)
Update: downloaded (25MB apk) and played around with it (single player, no online (I have a terrible internet connection at home)) For being an early release, it looks good. I am definitely looking forward to repaying old memories with de_dust

You can also map the shoot button to whichever hardware button, I use the L Shoulder and the DPad to move, and look with the touchscreen. Even in this early beta stage, you can still play against other players on just your data connection.

How do you map the keys?

I am not able to access the page. Says I don't have the reqd permissions. Help?
Can anyone link to the APK here?

I tested it a few days ago and it was way better than expected.
You can walk with the dpad, but all other Play controls are not integrated yet.
The game itself was smooth and lagfree (+30 fps), but the bullets are delayed a bit.
One thing that I really do not like is that there is an aimhelper, but thats it.
I think this will get a really nice port.

Hmmm...
Downloaded an old version 1st by mistake and it worked perfect.
But then upgraded to the latest (1.97) so I could use my Xplay controls...
Now it just hanfs on 'Map Loaded, Connecting' when I try to join a server....
Any ideas why?
It worked great on the older version (minus xplay controls).

[HOWTO] Get most Gameloft games compatible with the S4 HTC One X

To get most games compatible with the S4 HTC One X, we need to edit our build.prop file to match that of a Galaxy Note.
Also, there is a multitouch bug in AOKP and CM9 right now where if you hold one finger and put on another, as soon as you pick up one finger the system will stop recognizing the other finger as well. This leads to a really annoying FPS experience. I'd recommend running another custom ROM that is built off stock for now if you plan on playing a game that uses this type of control.
1. Navigate to /system/ and open the build.prop file from a file manager of your choice that has root access (I prefer Root Explorer from the Play Store)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. Change the following values to the ones in bold:
ro.product.model=GT-N700
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=GT-N700
ro.product.device=galaxynote
ro.product.board=MSM8960
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
ro.build.product=galaxynote
The values are case sensitive by the way.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. Reboot and then try to download the game data again. There should no longer be a "This game is not compatible with your device" error.
Having issues? Make sure there are no other instances of ro.product.model in your build.prop. Some ROMs may do this. If it does have another instance, delete it.

Not all games work after that, some of them have some compatabillity issues.

I will add more working games as people tell me that they are working through this method.
I know the games downloaded via the gameloft website have been working fine, but for those of us who download the games from the market from other devices and want to download it on our S4 HTC One X now, this works.
Thanks to thatg for originally providing me with his build.prop file that he modded.
Please thank this post if this helped you!
Also, I don't take responsibility for any games that you might buy and then expect to work but they don't. This may not work for everyone (it should, but still) but if it doesn't, don't blame me for making you spend more money :/

Will this allow us to actually purchase the game from gameloft or the play store or do we need to already have the apk?
Edit: I was able to download it but I am getting the not compatible error. Are there other lines in the build.prop that need to be edited?

I believe it has been working fine from gameloft.com, since they have some special "for evita" section on their website or something. I personally have never bought off their website though.
The apk from the market doesn't work with the HTC One X though, so I just grabbed the APK from my old device and put it on here, did the mod, and it worked.
I'm not sure about whether it will allow you to download the game from the Play Store, though I would assume it would now and no longer display any compatibility issues.
Also, what game were you trying? Did you reboot after saving the changes?

I couldn't download it from Gameloft but did from the play store. I just edited the build.prop again to reflect the SOC that's in the Note (MSM8660) and am rebooting now. Hopefully this works.
Edit: Still didn't work, there's gotta be something else that needs to be changed.

This just made my day. I loved this on my iPhone and was pissed as hell when it wasn't compatible with our phone. Thanks man.
edit: Wow, this runs great on the One X, smooth as hell. My only complaint is that there are some effects missing from this version vs. the iPhone version (heat from gun is one that comes to mind) but otherwise it looks gorgeous. No idea why they wouldn't release it for our phone.

Pics or it didn't happen!
Can someone post a video/pics of NOVA 3 running on your S4 One X?
PS: About the special effects, Hamdir from the international One X forums thinks that the resolution is the deciding factor for whether the game will run with full effects or not. Supposedly, if the 3 dot menu button is there, the game will run with full effects. If it isn't, then the game won't run with full effects. i.e if your resolution is lower than 1280 by 720, then it'll run with full effects. Can anybody confirm this? Additionally, Chainfire3d can also be used to get the full effects running. Link to original post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27306438&postcount=39

kinda off topic, but does anyone know if doing this will let the One X run google wallet? I've been dying to try it.

Google Wallet isn't working because it doesn't have the correct permissions. Doing this won't help unfortunately.

I have a question about this method, Since we can spoof the system check to get these games working, do you think it is possible to spoof so it looks like a oneX T3?
So we can get some of the Nvidia games going, or do the software checks also look for hardware?

It depends I guess. Some games have very well written code to prevent it from running on other platforms. Dark Meadow comes to mind.
One way is to run Chainfire3d or Chainfire3d Pro, but that seems to only have limited success.
As for games like NOVA 3, see my post above

There are a few effects missing but not many, the game looks ridiculously good. I had this on my iphone 4S and of course it had full effects on that thing, and the difference between the two is negligible.
On a side note, once the game is installed and all the resources downloaded, you can revert to your old build.prop and the game still runs.

[APP][4.0+] WiFi Direct

So I finally got a Nexus 7 and first thing I wanted to test was the WiFi Direct sharing with my Galaxy Nexus. I was kinda disappointed when I saw that neither the stock Gallery app nor any of my installed file managers offered a WiFi Direct sharing option.
So I took a look at the APIs and made my own WiFi Direct sharing app (after that, I saw that a similiar app is already available here on XDA).
I got it working between my Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 and the Nexus 7 and I guess it should also work on most other devices (unfortunately, WiFi Direct is really broken on some WiFi drivers).
You can get it from the PlayStore here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.wifidirect
The latest version is attached to this post

only if that computer runs Android and supports wifi direct ^^

How's the testing going for this? I'm shocked more ROM developers don't try to bake this functionality into their releases. My SGSIILTE Skyrocket had Wi-Fi direct baked into the stock Samsung OS, but as soon as you flash to CM10 or something else you lose that function completely and it's no longer in your wireless settings.
I installed your app and will test with my wife's SGSIII tonight.

I own the Nexus 4 and in the playstore I cant download your app (not available in your country -> Germany). Thanks for sharing this, great for exchanging music and videos when hanging out with friends

Not to necro this thread, but we are building an app that does exactly just that. The app is called Drop, and it is a simple, fast, and secure way to share files with people/devices in proximity over WiFi Direct. We are going into a limited Private Beta soon, so if you're up for the challenge, (and running Jelly Bean) then sign up at www.get-drop.com. Seats are limited, and we have a rolling enrollment, so check it out.

Hey,
Why did u take it from the play store.
I really like it. This is what I was looking for. A very simple method to share. No fancy UI or anything. Less then 100KB. Perfect!
Thank you!
I hope u keep maintaining it...:good:

Unfortunately nothing happens from N5 -> N4. I see the toast "sending xyz"... and that's it
