How can I make more games visible in Market? - Nook Color General

I remember having seen threads about changing the way the nook identifies itself to the market so that more games/apps are available (N.O.V.A etc.) back before I had my nook, but now that I have it I can't seem to find any. Can somebody give me a link or walkthrough to help me change this; I don't want to have to manually download and install everything. Thanks for the help.

I'm in the same boat! I think what I want to do is have my NC identify as a Galaxy Tab, because then I get the right resolution stuff. I DEPSERATELY want to get a right-sized N.O.V.A. and Asphault .

I don't think Gameloft's games are in the market.

[Q] What games aren't on the market?

HI,
i cant find the fifa 10 app in the market? (the fifa 10 game) has any one found it? or is this a known bug in the stock rom
I can see it, but I added the Eris Market Fix to enable all apps. Try that if you didn't before.

Im on the same FW and Voodoo Fix, i can see Caligo,
Rerun Eris, reboot and let your phone startup normaly, then shutdown, then boot to recovery mode and click "wipe/clean cache"
Then give it about 10 mins for the paid apps including your Caligo to appear..
What games aren't on the market.
I was just wondering what high end games or apps might be out there that aren't on the market. I just found out about gameloft are there others? Also has the unreal engine 3 made its way to android yet I was looking around and found only older articles saying it might be. The technology demo for it on the I phone look amazing.

From experience, the games from Gameloft aren't on the market. You have to buy them directly from their website. These games include N.O.V.A. HD, UNO HD, Avatar HD, etc etc. There are around 10 or so "HD" games that all have pretty good graphics. I'm not too sure how they are gameplay-wise but I've heard a lot about N.O.V.A... Check out videos on Youtube for this and other Gameloft games.
If you aren't from one of the countries that the full Android market is available in, then you won't be seeing ALOT and you won't be seeing the paid games if that's what you've been searching for. There's a sim emulator app floating around somewhere that would bypass that and as long as you have a valid credit card then you'd be able to buy games and stuff from the market and from gameloft.
Dunno about any really great free games that aren't on the market though..
Hope that helped!
Thanks for the reply. I'm in Canada so I get paid apps but like you said gameloft games arent on the market and if you didn't read form like xda or use apps like buzz you would never know they exist. So I'm wondering if there are other companys out there the have games that aren't on the market free or paid.

I found Gameloft games through Youtube actually. So far, that's pretty much all I know that isn't in the Android market. It's taking some time for the big developers out there to roll out Android versions of their games but I know of a lot that are working towards that. Expect though that as soon as they do have something, they'd release it via the Android market since that's the main form of distribution for those things anyway. I have no idea why Gameloft chose to ignore the Android market way of distributing games. I guess they want to handle piracy issues their way.
The Android market isn't as strict as the App Store of Apple. That's why there are a lot of other sources of iOS apps out there that provide apps and games not in or not yet in the App store (since they weren't approved or are taking a while to be approved).
You dont need to pay all the gameloft game..just search at 4shared.com 4 example nova.apk.. But i've a problem to install the other game data to memory card because after preinstallation at hp it required install the game data to memory card..anyone can help me please..

Samurai II: Vengeance

Best game yet for the Gtab. It was released on the market today and is only for Tegra 2 devices. Graphics and gameplay are top notch. Nothing like a good hack 'n slash with alot of blood. Costs around $5 US.
Thanks, will check it out. Really waiting for Galaxy of fire 2 though. hopefully that won't be too long.

I want to buy it but it doesn't show up in my Market and since I've modified my build.prop file to look like it's a Samsung Galaxy tab so I could get Swype to work when I go to the web market it shows my registered devices being my Droid X phone and my tablet shows up as a Galaxy Tab. So I can't freaking download this game.
Good call on the game, man. I have TNT Lite 4.2.4 and I'm able to download it fine. Nice graphics. Not quite as nice as Dungeon Defender, but more stylized.

Got this yesterday and I have to say that this is one of the best games I've played on the GTab. Smooth, looks fantastic and sounds great. Well worth the $5.00.
It's like this game was engineered specifically to be run on a Gtab or something. It's truly awesome! Great fun and even nicer then it was on the i-anything.
Can one of you folks that have been able to purchase and download the game tell me how you went about getting it? I've changed my build.prop to show my gTab as an NVidia powered VEGAn tab but when I search the Market it doesn't find this game. When I go to the web version of the Market it shows me the game, shows me that I have a gTab registered, but when I select it as the device I want to install the game on it tells me that this device is not compatible. What am I missing?

I verified I have these exact lines in my build.prop file (which disables my use of Swype) as well as trying your earlier suggestion of doing the Market fix twice but still this app does not show up in my Market.
I guess I'll have to wait until another solution is found for me to try.

The simple answer to that question is no. They made the game specifically to be run on Tegra Based Devices. It's in the "more info" section on the market.

Most imp tablet specific app needed?

Hi guys,
I really want to love the Xoom, I like android a lot and the hardware is too good (at least at this point)
But I not in place where I can drop my iPad for good. The reasons are pure app specific, if I get these decent on Xoom... it's bye bye iPad.
So this is a quasi-'need help' thread. to double check if I'm not missing anything
1. Magazine app - Something like Zinio, I depend too much on it and couldn't find even an ETA on when Zinio will be available for Android
~ Solved. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11939617&postcount=5
2. Comics reader - I know we have the Comics app but I need a cbr/cbz reader. I tired AVC but doesn't seam to work on Honeycomb
~ Solved. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11939617&postcount=6
3. A UI-nice IM app. I love the Gtalk app but need facebook and skype IM app
4. Netflix app.
5. Tablet specific twitter, facebook, foursquare apps. I know iPad doesn't have FB or FS apps but this would be nice
6. Now the big big deal... I consider all these tablets as a 'consumption' devices, and the biggest thing I 'consume' is movies and tv shows...
The best thing about iPad is, I just launch iTunes app then rent a movie, wait for sometime and then enjoy the movie...
Is there a way I can get this experience on a Xoom? I know that right now most of the HD formats play on tegra but is there any hope to get this?
~~~~~~~~~~
Disclaimer: Please don't pounce on this post and call me a iFreak. I'm not trying to diss the Xoom or Android. I did search and try apps to see if I could get all this... but couldn't find a way. So before I make a decision I just wanted some opinions.
thanks
Don't forget the completely absent Google Docs app! Someone please tell me its in the works....

A Market app that works...
Searches properly so you can find those Apps you want that may exist but you would never know.
Recognizes applications that have updates properly.
Doesn't randomly open other app's.
Actually installs Apps the first time you ask for them.
And why Google is at it, Tablet Section - more direct support on the Web Market while the programmer who is assigned to the tablet market app figures out how to code - bug fix.
(yes I am frustrated with the market today)

I don't remember if manga watcher loads cbz and crz files but in general it is really good app. It was recently updated to load local files from sd so it might be worth checking out. I know the dev does alot of work and updates it frequently. You might even write him and ask if he plans to add support for these files if they aren't already supported. I bought the full app and have been happy with it ever since.
All I have to say is Samurai Executioner.

where/how are you guys getting ROMS for this and the playstation emulator?
i used to use what I believe was called Rom Finder (premium) but I believe it was removed from the market. and even upon side loading the SDK it tells me that I need the newest version to download ROMS. any suggestions for using this or a new source? I would prefer a direct app on the xoom to do this although i havent been able to find another one.
You just can search it on Google, and for the ROMS, in any web of ROMS and Emulator, just watch the end of the file "Example.N64". If there's no problem for some mods or something i can upalod the apk.
See ya!

You are right no BIOS needed. I have Honeycomb 3.1 with the latest Tiamat Xoom 1.4.2 and it runs great. I had purchased this app before it was in the market. I had to reinstall N64oid when I updated to 3.1 since all my applications were cleared.
Since you purchased this legitly on the android market you shouldn't have to worry. Remove the Titanium Backup version. Go to the Android Market and your purchased apps and install from there. Even though its removed from market since you purchased it you should still have access to download it like I do. Hopefully it will start working for you then!
i'm more concerned about gensoid being taken down than n64oid coming back up. that emu definitely needed a few updates that we probably wont get.

Unfortunately no. It thinks its the d pad so when you push the stick, its in all the way. Also you cant program the dpad and analog sticks differently.

Not that I know of. I was just trying to install remotely from the market site. I'll try on the device directly when I get home. Maybe it will work there.
In the "More from developer" on the web market, it shows:
GTA 3 (4 stars)
GTA III (3.5 stars)
Grand Theft Auto 3 (3 stars)
All from Rockstar Games Inc. All three are incompatible with my devices. However, 'Grand Theft Auto III' is compatible.
When I click on Rockstar Games Inc. the only title available for me is Grand Theft Auto III.

I'm using a wired 360 controller, just tried it. Didn't even know that was possible until i read your post and googled it.
Playing using a sixaxis controller via USB + OTG cable, no apps required, straight plug and play. Most things work, analog sticks, etc. but there doesn't appear to be a button for the car horn, or shoot while driving, or to exit the map! That last one is quite annoying to say the least.
If you are having problems to find, download Tegra Zone, I knew about the game there , then you can click "get it! then it will automaticly redirect you to Android Market om the GTAIII page, hope it helps many people with problems
