looks promising and dev is offering beta testing for those who donate over $3. I dont have a paypal account, anyone test this yet?
thanks
WOW!
from what i saw that looked great!
i love first person shooters and will sooooo drain a battery if they get games like this on our android os!
Just donated five dollars, I'll post up a quick run down once I get my grubby paws on an apk
I won't risk donating for this one
The guy is the infamous Valdimir Silva - with the worst and sloppiest ports of games like Doom and Quake. I seriously doubt this one will be an exception, but we'll see. Please give us feedback if you get the app. I hope he actually sends you an apk and doesn't take donations for some vaporware or a doom WAD for Quake 2, which I remember exists. I bet his next "port" will be CS 1.6 - there's a doom WAD for De dust too

let us know how it is
i want quake3 arena so i can play some instaunlagged on my phone
Force closing after one one run, however, during that one run, it's pretty smooth.
where do i get the pak0.pak? i'm having trouble downloaing in my area and it tells me to get the pak0.pak and move it over using cpu?
Unreal Tournament being ported to Linux is almost impossible because it uses the Unreal Game Engine, which is created by Epic Games and is NOT open source... I mean, you could get the code off some shady torrent site, but there's no possible legal way of porting Unreal Engine to anything other than Windows, Mac OS X, PSP, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, Gamecube, Wii, etc...
The Quake engine's source code was released, so it is possible to run Quake now on a PSP, iPhone, ANDROID, etc.
P.S.
If there was an HTC Android phone with a full keyboard, a VERY FAST CPU, a high-res display, 512 MB RAM and some really good GPU, we'd be running Quake 3 and going to WLAN parties by now
Back to evaluating the game.
Pretty choppy on my phone. Not surprised, though.

what ROM are you on? and what phone? i'm on the HTC dream xROM 1.5r4 with about 40 apps (apps2sd of course) and my sdcard specs are in my sig. things runs smooth as hell with NO sound. WITH sound it runs a bit choppy.
G1 with the latest CM rom. I'll try it with no sound and see if that helps.
Thanks.
How do you enable sound
How do you huys enable sound. I saw there was a setting toggle while you are in game and use the menu of the application - toggle sound and toggle onscreen controls and I toggle the sound but nothing happens. Do you have to restart the game to get sound to work? A pretty damn good port btw - I regret saying bad things about the dev...
I am trying to run this, keeps F/C on start though. It ran after I first installed it but seems to hate me now.

UT is probably not the best example for a difficult linux port. "Porting" Unreal Tournament to Linux consists of installing it with the Linux installer provided by Epic themselves.

Seems only to be F/Cing for CM Donut users. I've been using XRom for a while, works perfectly (excellent port, no lag with sound disabled)
Ok yeah so when using the newest version of Gameboid when you use the on screen keyboard or buttons it causes lag in game , any fixes?

oddly enough - I myself applied that fix this week and it worked well.
however gameboid on the hero is a bit of a let down, the onscreen button cause a lot of problems - sometimes makes me wish i had a physical keyboard again.
Can you be a bit more specific please? Are you talking about disabling sense ? I tried that and it did very little im on the newest Villian Rom and regreting it at the moment ..
No they are talking about going out an buying a HTC Desire as it has a much faster processor that can handle running game roms better.
Ah , well i know for a fact that 1.5 roms can support it ! I just wanted to know if there was a way to make it work on 2.1!
I will never buy another htc product , come on they release a new phone then stop supporting it instantly and concentrate on their new phone that they don't intend to support. For example 2.1 to be release in september? That is a sham .
Welcome to the wonderful world of mobile phones.
All manufacturers are same dude. HTC just happen to make some of the best phones in most peoples opinion.
This life. They will always concentrate on their newest devices.
I have same lag with 2.1 ROMs. Thought it was just me.
I think i know what you mean, i have the same problem on villain 2.1.....
And the weird part is the lag doesn't happen when on 1.5.... Does anyone have the same problem except for the poster?
Epic sad face , yeah HTC are jerks =/ We need supporttt!! If anyone finds a fix for it please respond here of mail me Also im finding on the 1.5 rom mr bangs one that leaf green the pokemon game lags! hmm
I have the same problem using CHM 1.4.3 (2.1). I never tried an emulators on 1.5 to compare, but it definitely only happens when using the virtual keyboard.
Has anyone had any success getting the ___oid emulators to run smoothly with the virtual keyboards?
Too bad using the trackball as the d-pad didn't work better.
I miss real keyboards
Interesting... its not just the emulators. Games that ran fine before (radiant) now suffer from the same lag when using the touch screen instead of the trackball.
WTF?

It's a shame, this issue makes any game unplayable
Pokemon works fine on my hero with Froyd Villain and OC.
I've done all the market hacks and tried all the tricks but im wondering why most of the actual 3d games i want to get to show off the muscle that this great little tegra 2 tablet can flex.
it seems like the games i want on here right now "pocket legend" and "rocket bunnies" don't show up in the market and I was looking forward to "dungeon defenders"
I think there needs to be a big push of actually finding a way to get the full market that my Nexus One gets...
This is mostly why i bought the tablet, and thanks to all the great devs here we've been able to get "almost" everything working (Thanks roebeet, et all)
maybe we can make a nice thread with some different market fingerprints and post market results? (or any other suggestions)
I am currently running the latest Vegantab beta4 fyi.

Well, as the guy who has tried all the market fingerprints and build.prop stuff and wrote the thread on the "full" market fix, I can tell you with some confidence that Pocket Legends and some of the other 3d games are a known issue - I have tried changing every build.prop setting to match that of my Nexus One (which finds those apps with no problem), and there are still a handful of 3d games that will not show up. I have also found that if you change too many of the settings in build.prop, you will eventually bootloop your G Tablet because Android itself gets confused about what it's running on.
You can find my notes on the subject in my posts on my thread in this forum on Full Market Fix.
In summary - the issue seems to be more than just using a different Market Fingerprint. That does not solve the problem, though it may make a few addition or a few less items show up. Right now, by most of my metrics, we have at least 95% of the items in Market showing up.
BTW, I have seen posts stating that the work around for Pocket Legends has been to download directly from their site, though I have not done so myself.
My understanding is that the CyanogenMod ROM for G Tablet does not require the Maket Fix and has no issues with missing items in Market because of the way the ROM image is built. I think the person to ask about this is bekriebel who built CyanogenMod for G Tablet - he can explain the concept of release-keys better than I can and how Market supports it out of the box on the CM ROM.
Unfortunately, it's a bit outside of my time availability right now to work much more on this, having already spent a day or more figuring out what I figured out. But please keep me in the loop if you figure anything else out!
I just thought it would be good to have a good constructive conversation about why else it might not be working... so the build.prop isnt the thing then.
its sad that 3d games are not showing up when this device was built for 3d gaming!
Pocket legends shows up on mine. got it installed...lemme try the other one..
EDIT: Strange they arent showing up anymore. when i was on Cyanogen 6.1 i Had them showing up. then again I didnt have the new market that looks like xbox live. strange...

this is what I'm refering to its so spotty. there is this great drawing app that i purchased that id love to use on the tab called "sketchbook mobile" but its not showing up for me either.
I know there have been lots of people working on it but it would be great if we could somehow compare market search results on some of them to find the best?
also if cyanogenmod has more working downloads is there anyway that the market from cyanogenmod can be rolled into Vegantab?
Dungeon Defenders is amazing its based on the unreal engine and really shows off this hardware.
If we are patient I am sure there will be many amazing games in the future for this CPU/chipset.
I had originally intended to only use the gtab until a good windows7 tab was released but after seeing Dungeon defenders on this system I seriously doubt any windows based tab will be able to come close to this tab for some time and I am sure the cost of a system like that will be much higher.
U need to check out this game to understand what I mean.

Agreed, DD plays perfectly on the gtab. Hopefully this is just the beginning of things to come once Honeycomb is in place and developers start making apps with tablets in mind.
Will spb work on the xoom?
That would be sweet!!

Despite the missing options (which I'm sure will come eventually) I loved it on my thunder bolt. I had to uninstall though as it was raping my already fragile battery.
Looking forward to running it on my xoom though and hopefully my tbolt again if they can make it suck less juice.

Thanks, I will probably reconsider the purchase. Love the bolt but the battery could be better.
Did you guys not install it from the market, or did you just ignore the release notes? It states that tablets aren't supported.
Thats wierd. I see no changes in battery life with SPB launcher on my NexusS running CM7 rom.

I have SPB shell for my DroidX and I can verify that it does not install on my Xoom. I tried side loading and adb install and both times the installation failed. I think the 3D shell would look great on the Xoom but overall, I find the functionality pretty poor compared to the free launchers out there. I bought it on an impulse and I'll keep it in case a tablet version is released but once you start to configure it, it really is lacking in functionality.
It seems to be working on mine...
I didn't install from the market and I will send the apk if you want.
I loaded it on my N1 last night and it promptly quit working after it couldn't find a market purchase, so disable all data before installing the apk. Supposedly the app checks the market every hour until it can confirm a receipt, and I heard there is a command line you can send via adb to disable it from further checking, but I haven't seen it yet.
I heard that it is horrible. Lags and no scrollable widgets?
The widgets worked fine for me, but the graphics sucked ass. It just doesn't flow as smoothly as I wanted. Even SPB MS 3.5 on my Rhodium is smoother!
yeah I just tried the newer version on my zoom and it does work. Not very good though. Wallpaper is horribly pixelated as are the Widgets. Animations aren't smooth and no landscape amongst other issues. Hopefully they release a honeycomb version at some point.
Well let's see if their Tablet UI concept materializes in the not too distant future.
Now this is something I may pay for.

Damn that's awesome. The pinching home screen would be real slick!
It looked slick over a year ago for Android Phones (the one just released) as well and it does not seem to deliver. It is easy to make an animation of what you would like something to be. Not trying to be negative but I have already seen this before with the Android Phones version long ago. I used SPB Mobile shell on Windows Mobile and it was awesome. But I do not think they are getting it with Android.
Thread cleaned up. Please do not advocate or ask for warez, or it will result in an infraction or ban. Thank you,

did anybody got this working on they tablet, i going crazy to get it on my phone there is the tablet option.
SPB on Xoom
I purchased 1.5.1 for my HTC Desire, and, of course, attempted to install on my Xoom. No go. Install worked fine, but wouldn't home switch.
I had, however, previously installed a 1.2.?, and it worked great, until I had to hit home button again, in which case it wouldn't allow me to select SPB as my launcher. I have to say, the outlay was fantastic, along with the eye candy and the overall slickness of it. It was great.
I REALLY hope they mod this for the tablets!
I can't remember how I got this to work but it wasn't easy and it looked lame... has to be default launcher.. prepare for some soft bricks.
Sent from my Full Android on Wingray using xda premium
Yes, it works beautifully. To use it you have to have it on phone first, backup app in astro, and then put the apk on your Xoom. The latest version (1.5.1) works more smoothly than stock.

https://market.android.com/details?...DEsImNvbS5tYWRmaW5nZXJnYW1lcy5zaGFkb3dndW4iXQ..
not from gameloft so theres hope.. optimized for tegra 2.
anyone gets it working let us know..
I bought it, but I have not been able to get it to run yet. Starts downloading data for the game, downloads one of 4 files, and then exits to home screen.
I was really looking forward to playing this, too.
what ROM are you on? please.. for reference.. thanks
Stock Android 2.2.2 T-Mobile 4G
downloaded 4 data files over 3G in under 10-15 minutes. I only played it for about a minute or so.. but this definetly looks like a keeper. Very nice animations. Graphics arent exactly gameloft quality.. but good enough.
Im on 2.2.2 streakdroid 1.3 GPU edition. Will prob go to honeycomb after I complete this game...
probably post back final thoughts after Im done..
Did you do anything special to get it to load the other three? I cleared the data on mine and still only got the first packet downloaded.
try mobile data instead of wifi...(if its not too much data use..)
no loaded tight up and really fast..
I have had any other game data download issues before, that was when I was on honeystreak and wi-fi.
went really fast actually. I think the data files are somewhere on the internet if you search.. hint hint..
I tried both WIFI and Data. Hmmmm.... I can take a hint..... Thank you.
this game is rocking.. im on like level 3..
my only issue so far is some of the aiming and touch, you can change the sensitivity, but I think its due to limited multi-touch screen support on streak.. paid for this one and well worth it..
I can't get it working it just closes after I start the game... WTF?
