Sims 3 Samsung Vibrant Version

So I took a look through a few Samsung Vibrant demos and apparently the Vibrant gets its own version of the Sims 3. The one that comes preloaded on the Vibrant is nothing like the one currently on the Android Market and it looks amazing. You can see a demo of the Sims 3 for the Vibrant here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9xUdHUMCIQ
Now would there be a way we can get it onto our phones? I've tried just pulling the apk from the Vibrant dump, courtesy of Wes, but after I install it and open it I get a message saying "There is a problem parsing the package". I don't really understand it all, but I'm guessing we can't actually play the game because our device isn't the Vibrant. So how hard would it be to try and get it to work on our phones?

Im not sure either i did the same exact thing. Try Signing it or pushing it though adb XD idk it probly has something to do inside the apk maybe the screen size plays a roll in this?

pretty sure that things got the humming bird 1g in it and weve only got a 600 mhz. im pretty sure this game wont work on our phones because of the difference in proccesors
edit: it may also be for android 2.2 not 2.1

Fyi The vibrant is running 2.1

Please upload the game! I want to try it, if it work on me. I have acer liquid running android 2.2.

i got it to install..i'm using a evo though..but it's unplayable all the environments and background is black..anyway to fix that??

Only if you had the game source code or the source code for your graphics chip. This sims game is optimized for the galaxy s's very fast gpu so don't expect much help even if you had access to all of that

the evo is just as powerful as the galaxy 2. the reason everything is black is because the textures are missing.
Same thing happens in sims 3 on the PC.
and thats whats so confusing about this because wes said that sims 3 was included, but theres no sims3 apk big enough to be the actual game. so as far as i can tell, the game is NOT in the dump.

Not GPU wise. Look at the statistics of the Galaxy S's Gpu and the Evo's and you will see how much of a wimp the evo is in the gpu department.

In regards to the Evo
"In terms of performance "...22M triangles/sec and 133M 3D pixels/sec""
http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Sam...PU-of-all-Android-models-article-a_10435.html
"the Galaxy S can process 90 million triangles per second"

Ya that humming bird is no joke. I was watchin theunlockr.com and they were doing a copmairison of the n1 and the galaxy s next to eachother both running the ported quake 2. And the n1 was all choppy and the galaxy was smooth as butter. Needless to say I was thinking of getting an n1 or evo but I'm thinkin of goin with the galaxy now

Actually, that was the Desire vs Vibrant, but close enough lol.

I think the problem is that the game engine, etc. are in the dump but the actual files needed to play (textures, etc.) come on the SD card.

can you send me the file?

I'd like the file as well if at all possible.

I Have it, and all I could say is that it runs really well on the slide.

Do we have video proof or could we possibly have video proof?
Wouldn't the screen resolution be a problem as I'm sure that the vibrant has a 4.something screen and the slide sits at 3 and some change. I would also like this version of The Sims as opposed to the crappy version that has been on the market.

Here's your proof buddy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfOla7wjdjk

How did you get it to install and work? Whatever version i've been finding installed but stayed on a black screen.

I had the same problem at first, the only way I could get it to work is to put the 3 Files in Titanium backup and restoring them from there.

psx emulator

I just got psx4droid working on my epic on Sunday. Then I switch to nexus and see around that the psx4droid app doesn't work on gingerbread. Upset. I got like 15 games on my phone. Before I download. Does fpse work on gingerbread?
Or is there something else?
Thanks.

Yes FPSE is better than psx4droid and he got very good performance
Sorry for my english

FPSE is much better than psx4droid. Highly recommended.

Psx4droid ran fine on my Nexus running 2.3.3. Just make sure you're downloading the latest version. I actually found it to outperform Fpse out of the box when playing Final Fantasy 7. I guess it really depends on the game.

Well after having some market troubles with the authorizing purchase loop for 3 hours finally got fpse. Works great. Love it.
Psx4droid didn't worm for me on 2.3.4. I thought I had the newest update I dont have it anymore to confirm. I got it straight fom the site.

Psx4droid works fine for me, make sure you're using good bios files, maybe try downloading another bios file and see if that fixes things. Roms run without a quirk as well!

Do you know how to adjust the sensetivity of the controlls? There's no over shoot for the buttons and sometimes it doesn't register the press. Very annoying.

[Q] many games not working with my Xoom. why?

hey guys. my wife got a Xoom last week. i know we're late on the scene but its new to us and we're having a blast. me specially trying games.
I saw somewhere here that Asphalt 6 and Brothers in Arms were verified working on the Xoom.
Asphalt installs and downloads the files, when I skip the intro movie, the game crashes to the launcher homescreen. Brother in Arms installed and loaded the game, but it was all white with absolutely no textures while the game actually played. Shrek Kart (which played beautifully on my Evo) crashes when I try to run it, I don't even see the intro screen or the gameloft logo (it did run the first time and download the files). this is similarly what happens with Let's Golf 2 HD.
Homerun Battle 3D installs and lets me get through the trainer but when I get to actual gameplay, it crashes.
those are the ones I remember. there's been a few others that have crashed and/or not worked.
we have a stock Xoom. since it's my wife she's hesitant about rooting it, so no root, no overclocking, no software changes. updated to 3.1 and that's it.
why are all these games, some of which I've seen comments that they either work fine or are verified to work with tablets and/or specifically with the xoom and don't work for us?
thanks!

It sounds like you're speaking about 4 gameloft titles.
Gameloft in general has had only sub-par performance in the Honeycomb market space so far, with pretty much all of their titles breaking going from 3.0 to 3.1 honeycomb.
To my knowledge, they only officially support the Xoom on like 1 of those games.
That's all I have to add to this topic.

the 4 Gameloft games that are compatible with the xoom according to Gameloft are Spiderman HD, heroes of Sparta, nova HD, and asphalt 5 or 6 HD (can't remember which).
Others may work but if they don't gameloft won't help. They have terrible policies. They don't accept any returns no matter what I.e no matter how buggy their games are. At least if they are supposed to support a device they will try to help, but still no returns. I had them send me a revised apk of heroes of Sparta because the original afficial one didn't work. It took them 5 days but whatever.... I guess.
For a list of HD Gameloft games that have been found to work on the xoom there is a thread somewhere on here. I forget the guys name who started it and is testing them all though. Its like darkLordOfFeces of something like that.

yeah I saw that list...and it's not correct. I think his list is compatible with 3.0 not 3.1.
spiderman hd works only as far as until I beat up the first three bad guys or so in the intro. then it FCs. asphalt 6 downloaded the files but then once I skip the intro movie it closes to the launcher without any message.
ahh i want those two games...although more specifically, Asphalt 6 HD because I don't have any really good looking racing games. I have a few, but none that look as good.

I bought Asphalt 6 and promptly disputed the purchase through Paypal (and got my money back). Some weeks later, they fixed it and sent me a new download link. It does work, but I will never buy another Gameloft title.
Please try out Riptide GT its a very cool water racing game!

hi.. i'm using iconia a500.. although different devices but i've installed this 4 games of gameloft by using xoom installer..
i've rooted my iconia.. and i've facing the same problems like you.. the games force close after few minutes of play..
then, i've recover back to stock rom 3.0.1... and I can play all the games without any crashes!
when I update my stock rom to the OTA 3.1.. again the games crashed as before .. seems that the official rom also causing problems.
I'm not sure whether the problems come from the hc 3.1 or from the gameloft themselves, but this is very disappointing since you need to stay using 3.0.1 to place these games..
so.. you need to downgrade you xoom to 3.0.1 to able to play the game
loft games.
cheers..

It has been updated to reflect the 3.1 update. Only the four main games and Brothers In Arms 2 are working now.

The latest, most up-to-date versions of those games are working on 3.1 for me. If you are using an old version, they will not work on 3.1!! You must have the latest updated version directly from gameloft.
The games working on 3.1 from gameloft are, Nova, Asphalt 6, Spiderman, Hero Of Sparta for the Xoom and Brothers In Arms 2 for the LG Optimus 2x.

well since I posted this thread I rooted and moved to Tiamat and now Asphalt 6 seems to be working. only played through a quick race but it's further than I had ever gotten.
spiderman hd also let me play a little more but then crashed to desktop. i'll have to see if the overclocking is affecting it at all.
thanks for the replies.

The problems with gameloft/gameloft games is/are:
Gameloft only moves fast if it is one of the most popular android devices
Everytime gameloft finally decided to update their games a new android version comes out

As long as those are the only issues!

Games

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

Good Bye [email protected]

I am a [email protected] addict for some time. Such games are awsome to be played on Galaxy note. recently, i upgraded my phone to ICS and it went smoothly. i didnt format the phone afterwards. the games were still played, yet the device was little slow. after i formated the device, all gameloft games stopped working. i mean, after installing them again. they start with the demo, then black screen. this is only with gameloft games. other games, like of Marvel, work just fine
please help

Thank you for your prompt reply. I believe my case is close to urs, but not the same. As I said, the games work fine after the upgrade for some time. but after i formatted the device, they no longer do. I played back stab for more than a month, before and after upgrading to ICS.

Hmm and this is the official update correct ?
