Gameloft's Hero of Sparta free today during next 24 hrs

Gameloft is known for makin some of the best games for iPhone/ipad. Currently they do not put their games on the market because of pirating issues, but they do offer their games on their online store (ussualy 4.99). For the next 24hrs they are giving away one of them for free. Link toandroid central . I was able to download it to my fascinate but have not done so for the g tab.
If you try to follow the link provided by androidcentral it will take you to their site but the page is in desktop format witch wont give you le link to the download, some how the site is able to recognize what phone you have and based on that it tells you that the game is compatible with your phone or not and if it does not recognize what phone you have it designates your phone as unknown. I have tried several browsers in mobile and in android view with no luck. Since i have a android phone i decided copy the URL of the page that recognized my phone and opening it from the g tab, no luck it still tells me that my device is unknown.
So I emailed customer suport and after many emails back and forth the told me to select my device and once select to add this to the url &igagame=hdbk
surprisingly this actually worked and I was able to download the nexus one verison of the game. the game crashes as soon as you try to open it. I tried different verisons of the game but the url trick stoped working and I was unable to make the page recognize my phone. I also asked him if the game was compatible with the g tab and he said that the only tablet they support is the galaxy tab. So I tried the selecting that as my device and was able to make the page load, however it seemed that hero of sparta was listed for 4.99. I email customer support and they verify that the promo is not for the galaxy tab version.
Anyone want to give this a try before time runs out?

Downloaded to my Nexus One, then sideloaded on gTablet (vegan b3). Launching the game causes immediate "application has stopped unexpectedly" message. Given that they appear to package the game by device, I was skeptical it would work, but wanted to give it a shot anyway.

Downloaded for my Droid. Plays fine on it, but forcecloses trying to open on my gtab running tnt lite

well this sucks, i was really hoping it would work.

Some apps don't show up in my Market

Maybe this has nothing to do with the NC, not sure yet.
But I've noticed that some apps don't seem to show up in the Market on my Nook Color, but do on my Android phone and AppBrain.
For example EA Mobile has some 99 cent games on sale right now. I got Need for Speed for my phone. And it shows up in AppBrain on my NC, but in the Market it's not there.
I noticed some others missing too like Super Manager.
Are these apps not showing up because this Market apk came from the Galaxy Tab and they aren't supported on tablets (noticed one of the EA games did mention it wasn't supported on the Galaxy Tab)? Or is something else going on?

Market will not show apps that are deemed incompatible with your device. Since NC doesn't come with market, it will mainly show you generic apps. Other alternate market apps may show you apps that work or that don't and apps that require OS 2.2, since the NC is an unsupported device.

I've had this same problem, specifically with Pocket Legends. I sideloaded an old .apk of it and booted it up. It works, but then tells me to upgrade and when I let it go to the market, the screen just flashes and goes back to the pocket legends app.

Ugh. Is this something that could be fixed in the future? I'm starting to get surprised at how many apps I can't download from the Market now. Can't even install Firefox.
I guess I can try side loading some of these thing from my Android phone.

Can't install Firefox? Shows in the market here for me.

Firefox Beta 3 showed up for me and installed fine.

Inconsistance
I've had to re-root my new nook color several times. The first time I did it the Market had a limited number of apps. Viewing the "Top Free" or "Top Paid" only had about 10 apps visible as opposed to a long ongoing list of apps.
After a factor reset and re-root the market was showed any and every app.
After a third factory reset and reroot the market was back to the original way with far fewer apps. (currently Firefox, Dolphin, Skyfire are NOT visible but Opera is)
So I can confirm "something" is problematic. I came to this forum hoping for an answer myself.
Running 1.0.1 and used auto-nooter each time.

This may not fix your problem, earlyhike - but it may help someone:
When viewing the market holding it as a portrait, only 10 apps show but if you rotate to landscape then you can scroll through the long list.
Hope this helps someone

I would very much appreciate if someone could upload the Firefox Beta 3 since I can't get it from Market. Thanks in advance.

I had to install it on my Android phone, then just copied the APK file over to my Nook and installed it that way. I put a copy here of Firefox 4 beta 3.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15926256/org.mozilla.firefox-1.apk

Now I'm curious what is going on.
Those of you that found Firefox, were you using the new Market or the old market?
I'm using the New Market and not seeing Firefox (and some other things). I wonder if this new Market apk is the issue.

Unable to locate n64oid, not compatible

I am unable to get n64oid on my G-tablet, I have the VEGAn rom, beta 5.1.1... I have applied about every market fix I can find however I am unable to find it in the Market. If I go to the web browser and go to the market that way, I can find it however when I click install it comes up with the window to select device however it wont let me select my gtablet (says its not compatible...). Has anyone else had this issue? I have searched through these forums and also google to no avail. Please help. Thanks!
Brandon

I was able to get it first time. But I hear that sometimes repeating the fix lots of times can help

I'm in pretty much the same situation. I have a gtablet that I got a couple of weeks ago and I'm running Nvidia VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1 on it.
When I go to the market through my web browser and try to purchase/install N64oid I see this:
Choose device on which to install
Nvidia VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1
This item is not compatible with your device
And when I use the Market app and try to search for N64oid in the market it just won't find it.
I've had mixed success so far being able to find apps compatible with my gtablet with Vegan on it. For example when I try to search/get Pulse (rss newsfeed app) I have the same exact problem I have with N64oid - the market says it is not compatible with my device. Kind of frustrating.
I had read it might be possible to download these apps with another android device that is compatible with the app and then sideload it onto my gtablet? Not sure about that. (And I don't have another android device anyway).

I got it in the market on vegan

i couldn't get it to show up on my gtab in market (stock 3588 plus enhancement pack) so i used my my captivate ran mybackup pro with superuser access. you must save apk and data or it won't work on your gtab just force close.
once loaded on my gtab i did a little comparison with my captivate (tegra 2 vs hummingbird) while most of the roms that loaded on the humming bird platform a few ran poorly and some to the point of unplayability like star fox 64. however the Gtab never hiccuped on a single game that loaded. mighty nice i must admit...makes me want to get a new fone with tegra 2.

[Q] Marketplace app NOT in marketplace anymore?

Hi,
Just got my NoDo about five hours ago, then almost 7 trial apps and games have been prompted by the tile to be updated:
1. Need for Speed
2. Doodle God
3. oh, I can't remember the rest
but one thing is certain, after the download and update of the apps, everything was removed from the live tile except 1: Doodle God. Now I remember posting this as annoyance whenever I update some apps and still warns me to update when I was at 7008(pre NoDo). I was answered back then that if the app is purchased (non-trial anymore) the update gets done and it won't appear again. Another thing is try to uninstall the trial app and install it again. That way you would install the latest updated trial-mode of the app.
That is what I was about to do to the Doodle God game, I uninstalled it and wanted it to buy for good. I am hesitant to buying it before since it only has one profile, which means only one person can play.
Now, I can't find Doodle God anymore, I tried using the developer site but the wp7 download link gives me the marketplace where it should suppose to have a try & buy button but the buttons are not there. The thumbnail and description of the game and the "show details" is there but there is just no download, try, or buy button.
Now I don't know if it was officially gone from the marketplace since I can't find it scrolling down to almost every game there is.
Is it just the post NoDo thing or what?

I had that happen to me a few times with certain apps (long before nodo), in that it wouldn't show a Try or Buy button.
The workaround that I figured out, is to open one of the thumbnails of the app, maybe swipe to a second image, then hit the back button. All buttons would then appear.
Haven't had to do that in a long while though, your results may vary.

But yeah, I don't see it anywhere. Could have gotten pulled for a number of reasons.
Trying to download it through Zune states "Bad Application Info"
So who knows. Would suck if it got pulled, looks like a cool game.

I'm trying to do it to the point that I wanted to reset my phone. The only thing that's keeping me from resetting it is the sms backup and restore, which wp7 currently doesn't have.
and yeah it's a cool and an addicting game. thanks

Play store crashes

Ever since Play store changed Interface and got rid of hamburger menu I have been experiencing weird annoying problem. Let's say I type something in search bar, I instantly get the search results suggestions , I click on the suggestion I get the results, but then if I wanna add something to my search request in the bar ,another word,number or even space,as soon as I add another single character the Play store crashes. I tried all the usual fixes, clearing data ,cache,uninstalling Play store,Play services,download manager.After Play store gets automatically reinstalled,for a while I get Interface with the hamburger menu and I have no problems but then it gets changed to new interface after few hours and the problem returns.Any tips would be appreciated.
