Has anyone tried something like N.O.V.A. by gameloft and how was it? Looks good but im not sure if i want to buy it yet. Would really like a fuctioning BT controller first but im impatient lol
Dude, NOVA barely pushes the captivate to its potential. It runs full framerate, all the time, no lags. First-hand experience.
The iPhone 3gs can run it fine and we have a faster processor and twice the GPU and so does the droid.
i play that game. if you ever run into systox in multiplayer, beware!
lol yeah game looks delicious. i say its gonna be like a year b4 android apps start pushin this phone. especially with the overclock potential.
Thx for the feedback guys. Yeah I knew it would run great just wasnt sure if it was the game play was that great. I cant wait to see what games can take full advantage of our gfx. Ive read that its more than twice as fast as the 530 which I believe the 3gs has
All the gameloft games run super silky smooth. Although the games are super optimized for speed. The iPhone4 runs them just the same. I personally like the controls of NOVA better, but I like Sandstorm better as a game.
Under the whatever 3D test thats standard for these phones, it nearly doubles the rest of the phones on the market in FPS. Best part is that it seems to be quite damn efficient at it too!
How do you guys get N.O.V.A.?? I don't see it in the market.

Thanks, I checked the website, but the browser doesn't let me see the full site....just some wapshop version of it. Anyway around this??
Yeah you have to view the gameloft website on a desktop/laptop. Not from the phone. Although you may have luck browsing the site from dolphin broswer hd, just change the default.mode from android to desktop in settings. Also when you buy the game, you can either buy the snapdragon version or the droid version. I've heard the snapdragon(evo, incredible) versions are crippled in graphics compared to the droid version.

It is a decent game and pretty fun. Controls are intuitive. Only complaint is that the monsters are too easy to kill even on hard.
Guess i need to go ahead and root my phone. They have the compatability for the vibrant listed on their site so its non-sense that they dont have it for the captivate
I'm guessing none of you guys purchased the game in order to try it out, especially considering the Gameloft website doesn't yet have AT&T listed for purchase of the game, much less the Captivate itself.
Why they don't support credit purchases is beyond me.
+1 I cant find them in the market?
As already stated in the thread, see the GameLoft websitegameloft.com/android-games/nova/?adid=101966
I checked the site out, when I go to buy it which carrier should I select? It only lists t-mo, vzw and sprint.
I bought NOVA and Dungeon Hunter from Gameloft, I picked tmobile and I9000 for the phone and gave it my number, and it plays both flawlessly, and looks great.
the thing with gameloft is interesting.
For example, Asphalt5 ...it works awesome on our phones but only up to version 3.1.3...any version after that and it is like is no longer using hardware mode...just not as smooth like running software mode.
I contacted them and they are going to "look" into it.
Good thing is that I got my refund immediately after I uninstall the program from google so thats cool but I do want to pay for the game though.
i have most of the gameloft games on my captivate and so far I'm very impressed they work great so far the games I have been playing a lot are hawx, dugeon hunter and N.O.V.A its crazy how far cell phone gaming has come....ps1 graphics on a cell phone
Im getting the new myTouch 3g slide for Christmas and I was trying to see if anyone could make me the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy theme or a rom of it for my myTouch 3g slide. All help is greatly appreciated. By the way, I'm on 12, so don't get mad if I don't understand.
just a quick 30 second scan of the development section for the slide turned up a ROM that was done back on Sept.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780611
why get the slide? get the g2
#1: Because I'm only 12 years old.
#2: Because my parents don't have that much money and can't afford the G2

In my opinion you shouldn't upgrade a phone every couple of months unless you're a developer or unless you have upgrade-A-phone-Syndrome. I think if anyone has the Slide then you should hold off until some real ground breaking phone comes out before you upgrade. The only good I can say about the G2 vs the Slide is the faster processor. Yes I am aware of the larger screen and better resolution on the G2, but is it really worth leaving the Slide behind? The Slide does a lot for a phone. I don't think we realize how far technology has come. I think we sometimes take it for granted. Do you remember before cell phones there was beepers? Do you remember getting paged and having to return that call on a near by pay phone (I'm 21 years old by the way)? The Slide can browse the internet, record video's, take pictures with LED flash (some high end phones don't even have flash), play music, download music/video's from websites, wireless tether, voice turn by turn gps navigation for free, text/call hands free (genious button) etc. A lot of other smart phones still can not do some of the things the Slide can. PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS TO OFFENSE, BUT FEEL FREE TO RESPOND IN A RESPECTABLE MANNER. ANYONE CAN RESPOND!

Some people, this may be true, but for many there are very good reasons to upgrade that have nothing to do with the "A-phone-syndrome". I'm in the process of upgrading to the G2 myself now. I waited, but now that they broke the root I just cant justify staying any longer.
If I had to say there was only one single reason, I'd say for the mass of community support. The G2 is so much newer, yet there is much more support for it already on the forums. This is very important to me.
Other things to consider:
- There are now sense ports for it, as I wouldn't buy it with vanilla.
- Basic sense has no stupid faves/faves widgets, just the original HTC favorites. Much better
- Now with overclock kernels you can run it at 1.4ghz, and I hear it runs pretty fast! The espresso still hangs a bit sometimes, and at times, long enough to annoy me.
- You have full s-off.
- True full root. With the slide, you cant modify system apps while booted normally, or even reboot through adb shell. Annoying.
- Better resolution with a bigger screen.
- More storage.
- No genius button. I've had mine remapped since I bought the phone - not a fan of the genius app. And its slow.
-I prefer the keyboard, and I only buy phones with physical boards because I use them! Otherwise I'd buy all touch. Only downside is its still not 5 row like the good ol g1, but then again neither is the espresso. Still wins out for typing speed.
-There are now mods making it so that you can use the trackball to wake/sleep the phone like on the espresso, which was about the only other thing I didnt like. Top mounted power buttons = inconvenient.
- 4G network anybody?
im also trying to find a galaxy s theme/rom for mytouch slide BUT if i never come across on/stable one ill make sure to let you know

I really think you should take your time to read around the forums and absorb more information before you start asking questions/make comment. Or simply finish reading a thread. Maybe then that will automagically make you realize that there is a link. lol.
I know, it's getting very confusing.
I actually did and there's nothing there but random roms by random developers but not the s themed

Look there is a galaxy s theme with an actual touchwiz launcher installed. Just look. If you cant find it in the dev section then your not looking.....
And these arent random roms by random people they are roms made by people that actually take time to learn and give back to the community. Just search if everyone else can find the themed rom why cant you?

Tons of features in this $15 app including home AND away radio broadcasts of every ML game, a free video Game of the Day, real time GI of each game, video highlights, stats, etc. Worked great the last two seasons on my iPhone and it is available for Android though the only tablet they mention specifically is a 7". Even if the graphics don't scale well, the radio feeds should still work, I guess.
Tech demands as follows:
* Technical requirements for live video on Android: To access live video, the minimum OS is 2.2, supporting Flash with at least an ARMv7 processor. Note that not all 2.2 devices support Flash and users may experience other unexpected device constraints.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Bonus: Purchase of this app gives you free access for the month of April to MLB.tv -- every game available on video.
Yeah, I'm running TnT Lite 4.2.5, and I bought the app and have the most recent update. It won't allow me to view live video, and I have MLB.tv.
I tried running from Dolphin and it was very choppy video; I could tell it won't work.
Hope someone has a workaround that will let me watch semi-smooth live video. That's one of the reasons I bought a G Tab.
I bought the app for my EVO, but I can't see it in the Android market for my GTab. I'd like to use that over my Evo (for obvious reasons).
I had this problem too. I did the Market fix and it showed up, and I downloaded it. It works on my Droid, but doesn't have Live Video on my G Tablet. Huge dissappointment.
Petey, not the answer I was hoping for but thank you.
Do you have MLB.TV in addition to the MLB.com app or MLB.TV alone?
Rick, I am an MLB.TV subscriber, and I have the MLB AtBat 2011 app installed on both my Droid and G Tablet. On my Droid, when I select a game, it gives me the option of watching video (although it asks me for my MLB.TV login information). The G Tablet only gives me the options of game tracker and audio. I guess when it comes down to it, I can watch games on my PC, or if I absolutely had to, I'd use my phone.
One thing I DID experiment with and have some success with is opening the Stock Browser, going to MLB.com, and opening MLB.TV there. It was really choppy, but I turned the quality all the way down, and the quality is bad, but it's definitely watchable, and it is really smooth. So you don't have to get the MLB At Bat app and can still watch live video if you're an MLB.TV subscriber (which was $124.95 this year). I will warn you, though, if you're a fan of a team in the area you're in, it gives blackout restrictions for whatever reason (kinda counterintuitive if you ask me). I'm a Yankees fan in Texas, so as long as they arne't playing the Astros or Rangers, I get to watch them without restrictions.
I was able to download at bat. I have an MLB.tv subscription(have had one for 4 years now) and I was hoping it would work on my gtab. Is there any word on the future of our device being supported

If there is, I haven't heard about it. Maybe some independent developers are working on hacking the app to run on ANY device, but if that's the case then again, I haven't heard about it. I can call MLB.tv and threaten to cancel my subscription if they don't get it working soon on this device (although that may be difficult considering I'm running a hacked version and whatnot), but I doubt it'll help at all.
I have both MLB.TV and AtBat 2011 and can only get audio and gameday. I am disappointed in that this app is the same price as the iPhone/ipad app that has video.
Per MLB.com
Live Video Supported Devices: Sprint HTC Evo, Verizon HTC Droid Incredible, Verizon Motorola Droid X, Verizon Motorola Droid, Verizon Motorola Droid 2, Verizon Motorola Droid Pro, Verizon HTC Thunderbolt, Samsung Galaxy Tab, HTC Nexus One, T-Mobile Samsung Nexus S, T-Mobile HTC Glacier (myTouch 4G). Minimum OS 2.2 and Installed Flash
If it works on the galaxy....

Not really sure how they determine what kind of machine the user is running. Perhaps there are Galaxy Tab ROMs out there that could confuse the app? Lemme look around and try one out.
I have looked around with little success... I am on TNT 4.4 and tried dolphin browser. the popup doesn't fit right and is choppy... The guy sitting next to me just got an iPad and paid the same amount for the app and is watching baseball laughing at me. Even worse, he is a cubs fan...
If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears!
bummer
Okay, I have VEGAN-TAB on and I did the market fix, but At Bat 2011 is not showing up still (along with a few others like Wunder Radio). Thankfully I can use it on my iPhone, but I cannot get it on my g-Tab. I guess I did not successfully do the market fix? Any other suggestions?
Weird, I just went in and did the market fix AGAIN for like the 7th time and now everything shows up! AWESOME!
MLB.tv works fine when you use the Opera Mobile browser. You just need to log in first from the game selection page at:
http://www.mlb.com/mediacenter
After you log in at that page, select your game, and watch away. Go white sox.

Which Opera browser are you using? Opera 11?
I had no issues using the stock browser (setting it to Linux Desktop) to watch MLB.TV. It got a little choppy now and then, but all in all, good picture/sound.
Any news on weather the XOOM has a app for Onlive that will enable use to run the play games? i really want to play my xoom in bed
Has anyone got the app to work yet?
Well it was demoed at E3 so it will be coming out soon.
According to Engadget it may come out next month!
does anyone no how to remove the signed code off the flyers app so i can run the onlive viewer on the xoom?
The Flyer uses a SnapDragon processor while the Xoom has Nvidia Tegra processors. It would take more than just signing to get the app from the Flyer to work correctly.
Remember if you think the answer is some thing really simple. Wouldn't the company figure that out and make the easy changes? That is the question I ask all the time because if it was really simple then it would be a no brainer for a company to make the changes right away to get there product out there.
OnLive on the Xoom
OnLive was release to the market a couple of days ago. I haven't tried it on the Xoom yet. Has anybody tried yet?
yeah it works
Works but.... i can't control any games...
Sent from my MZ601 using Tapatalk
it works, and beautifully. I've played Lego Batman and I demo'd the Darksiders. As long as your internet is fast, the quality/latency is brilliant.
Not all games have a touch UI though, and I read that you can't get full gaming control over 3g, 4g. You should be able to view games in the arena, though. I have a wifi xoom, so
I can't verify that.
I have had no luck with the program. I have 15/2 Cable and the game comes across blocky and extremely laggy. Even the Ui and menu system are laggy and so blocky I can barely read them. I have the same issue on LTE.
can I use a ps3 controller with their games or do I have to buy their controller?
Had my phone for a few weeks now. And had the VJraider rom on for a few days and really liking this phone. One thing I noticed though is the lack of availability of some of the bigger games. The phone came packed with N.O.V.A but can't get it off the market and notice there aren't really any of the big Gameloft games available. Looked at chainfire but it seems s-off is needed for it to work with HTC devices. I also have an acer a500 which I have already bought some games. Am I able to get the apk file off that and run it on the Raider? Or do you guys have some recommendations on good games for the Raider/Vivid?

Chainfire3D actually does work as it only needs root, not S-Off. However, the main reasons why some of the games from Gameloft aren't available is really because of the qHD resolution on our device. Most of Gameloft's games are made for devices with WVGA or lower, otherwise since you have already purchased game, the market will allow you to download it again to your new device.

I don't know that its strictly based on the resolution. I previously had an atrix 4g which is also qhd. The main difference between the two is the CPU. I had purchased Asphalt 6 on my atrix and it ran perfectly fine. When I open it on my vivid, it tells me its not compatible. I think they simply need to add the vivid to a configuration file. Probably a 2 minute fix that will take gameloft 6 months to fix.

Installed Chainfire and got GTA 3 running nicely but still no luck with the the bigger gameloft games. I read other phones have similar issues and changing the model in the build.prop usually works. Is moddifing the build.prop in that manner somewhat easy? Haven't managed to find a guide on editing it in that manner for the vivid. And if I do that what would be a good model to change it to.. the sensation? Reading over some threads on the gameloft forums just makes it seem like they are a bit lazy on adding compatibility which is really annoying.
gun bros is good, shadow gun is good too
I wanna play modern combat 3 but couldn't find a way to do it, i have heard editing build.prop works but i m not sure
