Wanted to make sure everyone knew about this. Link can be found via their twitter acct. Sadly at&t doesn't want us to have it. I'm sure there might be an easier way, but I will probably flash a quick galaxy s rom and see if it will let me pick it up that way. Anyone else interested in getting this? Or if you know an easier way of getting it please let me know.

Thanks for the heads up.
I can't get the game either, on an AT&T Captivate in Canada.
Yeah I have been trying different phones etc this morning to get it. I put my phone as the Droid on their page and put in my phone number. It sent me the download link but when I clicked it, It said no downloads are available for your phone. I am trying to find a way around this ... grrrrrr.
If you try to download it from the WAPStore with a Captivate Rom it will say its not available for your device..
Right above that message is the option to change your device.. lol
Amazingly simple work around. Just change your device to a Vibrant and bada bing. You got game.
EDIT: 181mb file must be downloaded after you download the initial 4.something or ruther mb apk
Same here. Lotta people also saying what's floating around out there won't work on our Galaxy S phones.
it works fine one cyanogen, i dont know if i can post the apk?? i dont think i can do that legally since its not gonna be free for long..

Seconded this. When you reach the screen saying there are no downloads for your phone tap on the bar that says "Captivate" and navigate to Vibrant. Donezo.

Worked!!! Perfect. Now to see if this thing will actually run on this phone ... should cause its a fellow galaxy s but ya never know....
Interesting ... It doesnt seem to recognize internal storage. It says 182 MB free space required on external SD and the screen only has 2 buttons ... retry or cancel. I have abour 6 gb free so hmmm ... maybe it's time to pony up for that expansion space.
Killer find, thanks for sharing!
didn't have a problem getting it with di11igaf's rom, well cause its awesome lol

Please, I know I am not reading this. Gameloft actually has done it right because they KNOW ATT app locks their phones so that is why they don't allow it. Imagine if they allowed you to spend the $5 to buy the game, only to find out you couldn't install it, you would be even more mad.
Needless to say there IS a fix as I installed it on my phone right now. You do NOT have to have a special rom to do it either, this is all you need
Requirements:
Phone rooted (got to market and get "One click Lag Fix" does it easliy)
App unlocked or sideload capable
If you have done that go to this post and read this thread. I am also attaching the apk for this, just in case if no one wants to bother with the stuff below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819721
What you want to do is change the build.prop. PLEASE MAKE COPIES of your original before you overwrite it. That really is your only goal for reading that thread.
Changing the build.prop makes the phone look like the i9000 which Gameloft will allow you to install the app. After the app has downloaded and installed. Copy the original build.prop over again and reboot your phone. You must reboot your phone each time you overwrite the file. Hope this helps.
I figured it is a useful trick to know as know it will have helped me for the 2nd time.
Or you can use the Android Central sideload wonder machine ... it works! Did it earlier
Still a fail... http://twitter.com/gameloft one tweet they say it works, the next no, this has NOTHING to do with rooting or anything else, it is a pure case of bad marketing and failing to do their research...
I managed to get it, they say they were having problems. This morning when I tried it sent me a text to site but I didn't think you could change the phone from there. I tried a minute ago and changed phone to vibrant and all is good.
Be sure to check back on their site. They will have more coming out through Christmas, but the links only stay up for about a day. Some days its iPhone while others will be for Android.

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you have or know where I can get the latest version of Swapper for Root Users.
I have been out of the Hero/Sense/Espresso game for a while and between then and now I lost my swapper apk. I need it because I am flashing over Eugene's Espresso V3 right now, and I don't have a swapper app at the moment.
I looked around here on the forums and I could only find the 1.4 version. The lastest was 1.5 and was hoping I could get a hold of that one because I didn't really like the 1.4 and for me it seemed the 1.5 worked better.
I know that there is the DroidSwap, and I have tried that in the past and I just did not like it.
Thanks in advance everyone who takes a look at this.
What is wrong with editing the conf file?
Computer is going to be gone for another month. best buy warranty sucks. I'm doing this all from my phone or a friend's computer whenever I get the chance to head over there.
Until I get my laptop back, I would like to have that app to be able to change my settings on the fly and not have to make the trek to his house which is on the other side of town.
search user.conf on the market, there is an application that will create it with visual options. But you can also edit the file with a text editor on the phone.

I am sure many of you guys are ticked off with a useless T-Mobile tab in the Market. Would this be a hard fix to change it back to a download tab?

When your in android market, hit the menu button and choose downloads. Its there but now it's hidden. No prob though getting to it.
You could try deleting market from phone and installing the one from cyanogen's gapps pack for eclair.

I don't know, I feel there's a huge problem with carriers and manufacturers customizing android. Its not 1.X anymore, heck, its not even just 2.0 anymore, the interface, usability, etc. are all pretty amazing, totally untouched.
More manufacturers and carriers could get more phones to market, at lower cost, and higher profit margin, if they just used default android. Plus, there wouldn't be so much fragmentation with android on the whole anymore either, and consumers would win big with a better selection of phones, that all work the same, with zero learning curve for some manufacturer/carrier customization.
OK, rant over, onto my real post.
I've tried copying over the market from a stock international i9000, and no luck, t-mobile tab is still there, so it might be buried in an xml file somewhere else. Will try CM 5.0.8 market when I have time next.
cheers =)

copying over the CM 5.0.8 didn't do it for me, that was one of the first things I tried when I rooted. It's probably something in the framework.
here do this download the app ive attached go to settings in market enabler select fake [de] simyo (eplus) and then go to your market and theres your download tab no more tmobile . since pushing menu and downloads is just to hard

Please make sure you know what you are doing before you end up with a brick. First there is no jailbreaking in android. Second you can find what you are looking for under settings about phone. And dont assume it is the newest version cause you bought it today. Alot of the device being sold still have 2.1 on them and not 2.2. So do yourself a favor and save some grey hairs and do a few hours of research before you do anything.

and I have a 2.2

No not all apps are free. Even if you root it the apps will still cost depending on the apps. I am not sure of the games that you can get as like i said I dont play games on it. As for the themes they are mostly for custom roms and few will work on a stock rom.
Once again before you do anything head over to the dev section and read up or you will end up with a paper weight.

He is right. Jailbreaking doesnt appy here. What you need to do is root and enable non market apps.
There's no ds emulator, only gba, ps1, snes, etc, but no n64. Also we don't talk about getting paid apps for "free" here since its...illegal :0. 2.2 is "froyo". We pretty much call it "rooting" and not jailbreaking. Once you root your captivate, you can install custom roms and you can make your homescreen flashy without having to even root it if you want. Android is wayyyy more customizable than iphone(sounds like you are coming from that)

The reason it wont work is because you dont have root. Here is a link to some reading. I implore you toread up. If you go to fast you are gonna be real mad when your phone wont even boot up anymore. if it is 2.2 then yes it is froyo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887525
Start here.
Go to settings-> about phone and look at the "firmware version" if its 2.1 then its "eclair", if its 2.2 then its "froyo". 2.3 is "gingerbread" and you don't have to worry about 2.3 until after your more acquainted with this whole rooting business.(don't try getting gingerbread right now)

Hmm, you get a download link in the mail from gameloft (or in the sms)
So there shouldnt be any problem with that.
Anyway just tried to download avatar again I purchased earlier. And worked.
Rom shouldnt have to do anything with the game. (as I bought it on Froyo and now I have GB)
dont understand this though
Gameloft's policy is that if you buy a game, you can re-download it on the same device with the same phone number within the 90 days of your purchase. To re-download your game, go to http://gameloft.com on your mobile and click on the 'My Downloads' link at the bottom of the page. You will see the list of all the games you purchased so far that you can re-download. If you purchased your game on our website on your pc using your credit card, enter the 'My Account' section at the top of this page and re-download your game(s) after signing in.

Well make a nandroid with the game on it. (Tit backup too) . Go new rom. try to download. If it wont work restore with tit backup. If that wont work. you still have the old nandroid.
Anyway ask them if you arent sure
PS: Just for a game not to update ? Doesnt make sense for me
Just go to their website and use their online tool for re downloading games. If that don't list your game then email them and they will send you a link via sms.
I have done this a couple of times now.

Seriously write them? I downloaded it after 4/5 months.
Also once on the phone you know you can back it up right? You can restore it from there tit backup. Just try? Nandroid for good measure.
I think they honor any purchase up to 3 years or something. After I put on gingerbread JVK, I asked them for a fresh link to download NOVA which I had purchased last august.
Though NOVA still doesn't work, they did give me another game for free.

I'm in preorder hell waiting for my gold S6E from Verizon so I can't verify independently. Is this something we can use?
Seems it's not showing up in the US Store. I'll see if anyone I know in that region can grab the app for us. Might be worth looking into.
So there was a link here to a place to find the app, then poof it magically disappeared. LOL gotta love how that happens. Regardless, the app that was linked did not work, it downloaded and installed fine, but when trying to open it, it just force closes.

Skyline,
No need for a hook up.There's a thread in the hacker/dev forum with both versions of the apk that I've come across... They're available to download there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...sung-factory-bootloader-unlocker-apk-t3086609
So is there a way to make this work .... FC for me after installing
Well like I said earlier, I'm trying to relearn all this after not using it for six or so years... My intuition tells me that this tool is invaluable, and we know it is functional as we've seen on a Galaxy Tab, it does install and load, but after the disclaimer, it FC's. This is telling me it is probable that the device is simply failing a version or class checker.
If that is true, depending on how this was created, the source can be altered to work with our devices. What's critical here is that these are official Samsung apps; we're not recreating the wheel here. What we're doing is looking at an unencrypted tool that was designed specifically for the purpose of unlocking our device. That's why I posted these to Hacking/Dev. While I am starting almost from square one, someone who is familiar with the environment and scripting language would be far ahead of me on the curve.
Will it work out of the box? Nope, but there is the potential it can be made to work.

Good lord I hope you or someone else gets it to work. There's hope!
Decompiled the apk and explored around a little, heres the strings.xml. Just wanting to share what it shows.
I really hope this goes somewhere. If this gets ported than I will be so thankful. If there is anything I can do to help I would but I have not much experience with programming
Title is misleading. I would edit it
Done.
Any updates on progress or is it completely dead?
By the looks of it you can get it to work you just need to obtain root first... Which means it serves no use seeing as the phones that have root are already bootloader unlocked

But phones with locked BL's can be rooted given the right tool is created. And if it is then once rooted we can unlock our BL's and flash Roms like everyone else.

Root doesn't guarantee any bootloader unlock. If that was true, then every phone with root would have an unlocked bootloader, which isn't the case.
Root would be nice, but without an unlocked bootloader I see many bricks happening from inexperienced users pushing things too far and not knowing a way out.
This is not your typical Nexus crowd in here.
