Samsung galaxy note

hello guys ! i have a samsung galaxy note GT N7000 phone . pre-installed with 2.3.5 gingerbread android system .
since the the processor of galaxy note is quite fast , and has the capabilities to run many HD games . therefore i tried my hand at few of them like real football 2012 , stick cricket , GTA III for android , these games actually installed and run properly, and there was no such issue , later on i tried fifa 12 , NFS hot pursuit for android , (both of them are compatible with my device , galaxy note is too good for them ) but unfortunately i failed to play both of the above mentioned games properly , they both got installed without any problem or error , but when i RUN them , i can't see the graphics clearly , in fifa , there is a game crash at times and so far am not able to play the game , and in NFS i can't see my own car the road ! it's all WHITE SCREEN. then i sent the message to one of the uploader of the torrent and he said maybe my android version is not able to match the game compatibility , otherwise the game would run nicely !
do you think this could be the issue ? and if you think i need a android OS update please suggest a good link , and mention the steps involved , your help be appreciated ! i also wish to run the HD games like other players who have uploaded their videos of samsung note on youtube

The white screen issue is common...
PS : dont mention torrents over here..

Try rooting and installing chainfire3d.Then download all three plugins(NVidia and rest 2 i don't remember) and install and use the nvidia plugin.Run your games then.MAYBE those issues will be gone.

Maybe you should try to update to the latest Android? Try the last version of stock ROM available in development section on this forum.
Cheers

OK, Your problem is solved First you need to be rooted and than install chainfire 3D, install the plugins (search for it in Google you get em) which would be Nvedia,PowerVR and Qualcomm.and after installing the plugins select Qualcomm as the default OpenGl settings...and...you're done both Fifa and NFS Hot persuit should run smoothly as I'm pretty much convinced you've installed the xperia Play version of the Games and xperia play uses qualcomm chipset
PS: NFS Hot Persuit already tested with the Qualcomm plugin with Chainfire 3D and it works flawlessly and had Fifa12 been the galaxy note version it should've worked straightaway flawlessly as it does in my Note.so...do as I have mentioned above. Cheers

[Q] Games and Apps

I am curious why most of the games and apps are not supported on Note tab 10.1 while using Galaxy s3 I can download most of them without any problems? I would love to play games on a bigger screen on my freetime/travelling.

First, you can install to your SIII and then backup the app and move it to your Note and manually install most things that the Play store says aren't compatible. You could also get really creative and modify your build.prop file to make the Play store think your Note is a different device. I don't recommend this method, but it's something that worked on my HP Touchpad.
Now, let me tell you about how stupid the Play store is. I purchased Madden 12 during the 25 cent sale they had a few weeks ago. According to the Play store, the app was not compatible with my Razr Maxx, but it was with my Touchpad. The problem is, while it will install on the Touchpad, I've never been able to get any EA games to download the secondary data that it tries to run when it starts. As an added haha, the Razr comes with a demo version of Madden 12 pre-installed so it really makes no sense that it would be listed as incompatible.
So what I had to was install the program on my Touchpad, move the APK to the Razr, run the program on the Razr to download the extra data and then copy that extra data back to the Touchpad.
Here's the best part. Program runs fine on the Razr, still doesn't actually work on the Touchpad. Other than the splash screen, everything else is a black screen.

[Q] Surface flash hack doesnt work on facebook games?

Hi -
Ive been dying to play my facebook walking dead game or marvel alliance game on my Surface. I did try the flash hack a few times and still got the same result: Need to upgrade Adobe flash which is not possible since its for Windows 8. I need to know if it is possible to get around this to play facebook games or not. Can anyone confirm? Thanks.

[Q] Gameloft Games Not Compatible?

Don’t know much about how compatibility is determined on the play store weather it’s up to the developer to say a device isn’t compatible. But I noticed on launch day nothing was really blocked due to compatibility but yesterday most of Gameloft’s library disappeared for me was curious if anyone was able to try Dungeon Hunter 4 & Order and Chaos on the shield.
Anyone have insight on why certain apps are being blocked?

It's a new device and normally will have to wait for game updates before certain company's list the Shield as compatible (its the game developers that enable compatibility lists on their Google dev accounts).
I do know Modern Combat 4 will work with controls on Sheild as its recently been updated with HID support but whether it's available to download is another story.
For now your probably better off sideloading games from another droid you own (if you do).

App developers can change their games compatibility. Gameloft, in general, doesn't support controller on many games, so I wouldn't be surprised if they started marking them as incompatible.

Do you happen to have a rooted phone or tablet? If you do you can download the games to that device and back them up with titanium backup. Then you can export the backup and import it to your shield if you have rooted your shield. You might be able to just pull the apk out of the titanium backup and sideload it on the shield if you have not or don't want to root the shield.
I did this exact thing with the game Avadon to get it on my Kindle Fire when I had that. It isn't pirating since you own the game and a lot of the time games will work on unsupported devices this way. Once you have them installed they typically show up in the market but will still say unsupported and not allow you to update them.
I would imagine without controller support those games would need an app like Gamekeyboard and root to emulate touch controls with the physical buttons. I am currently using that app to play Final Fantasy Dimensions with the Shield. The only thing I cannot do with the physical controls is browse the inventory out of combat. In combat and walking around I can use the physical controls fully. It's pretty awesome.

Evo_shift, how did you root the Shield? Thanks!
Edit: nvm, saw the thread.

Yeah, I was wondering why I couldn't find Modern Combat 4!

Don't need root to sideload from one phone to another (or tablet or shield).
ES File Explorer supports backing up apps to .apk without root permissions. From there you just copy the APK onto the shield, launch it in a file browser and android will install. No root required.
As for final fantasy. I guess no out of combat inventory is annoying, but at least you do have native touch.
My brother had a kindle fire, we used the ES file explorer method and since then have rooted the device, added the play store and a custom launcher. Shame that you have to do those mods but once you have its definitely a bargain. Missing bluetooth and camera etc, but its cheap and runs most things pretty well we've found.

Wow, cool. I had no idea something like that wouldn't require root.
The lack of bluetooth is why I ended up selling the Fire when the Nexus 7 was released. It did everything I wanted it to do just fine and I got it during one of Amazon's big refurbished sales and was my first tablet so I didn't want to spend a lot because I wasn't sure I would use it. Finding out I wasn't able to use a bluetooth gamepad was a real bummer to me. Now, my kids have basically taken over the Nexus (and they are only 4 and 2 years old but there are nice educational apps). The shield is my new toy that they will not have access to and basically replaces my Nexus 7 since I only used it for gaming

I contacted Gameloft and all they said there's nothing in the works, but when there is they will announce it. Lame

Not all games allow apk back up without root. There will be a little lock icon for the ones that are protected. I think all Gameloft games allow sideload, since the game checks your Google account during the first time opened to validate. Most games released in the past year (at least) still check the device if compatible, so even sideloading does not mean the game will actually work when you open it.

For modern combat, turn off mouse control via quick settings and the game works great.

im still waiting for my shield, does wild blood or nfs most wanted work?
I can map the keys through game keyboard if they can run on the shield

NFS Most Wanted works (touch only).
Throwing this out there. If you like racing games, be sure to check out Asphalt 8. It works and is compatible with the Shield controller.

I install the dungeon hunter 4 and use the tincore keymapper to map the screen button and work like champ.

need help with a game

Hi there. I don't know if this is in the right spot but I need help with the game limbo. It wont run on my kindle fire hd 3rd gen. It won't go past the loading screen. I love that game and I've searched everywhere for help. Any ideas guys?

Need help too!!! DX
I purchased it through google play and even installed google play games for it to run but it still fails on me. I EVEN tried moving the game to internal storage instead of external.
