[Q] Any way to get CNN App for gTablet? - G Tablet Themes and Apps

I am currently running TNT Lite 4.4.0 and when I view the Market from my device, I cannot see some applications I would really like to try. Can I download the .APK files manually and sideload them?
If I view these programs from the Google web market, I do not have the option to send them to my gTablet because the only device listed is my HTC Aria (Liberty) phone.
CNN for tablets: h t t p s : //market.android.com/details?id=com.cnn.mobile.android.tablet
USA Today for tablets: h t t p s : //market.android.com/details?id=com.usatoday.android.tablet.news&feature=featured-tablet
Air Attack HD: h t t p s : //market.android.com/details?id=com.ArtInGames.AirAttackHD
Sorry about the format of the links. I cannot post links yet apparently. Thanks in advance!

These all require Android 3.0 (except AirAttack)

Okay, thanks for the clarification.

Hmmm?
Did you get the version of CNN that is for honeycomb?
Can you post a screen shot of your GTAB running the app?

Problem with trying to find the right version from GameLoft is there are several different devices to choose from. Each is a different software version to match hardware. Unfortunately I'm not sure which device this version matches.
Will post link to the Archos forums, where I found it. (had it installed on my Archos 70it, and tried it on the GTAb to see...to my pleasant suprise.)

No, but look up Pocket Legends...is an online MMO like WoW. And free to download / play...hafta pay for add-on stuff tho
downloaded it, can't get it to download the files or w/e, did you unmount the sd or something? i'm very confused.....
i wonder if any versions of NOVA will work.
Downloaded it and tried it out, looks gorgeous on our tablet, I really like it!
Thanks for the suggestion!
It's free here...but which version works with the g-tab?
MOD EDIT: Links to sites with warez not allowed.
I found this and all of the gameloft games for download on a certain site so I'm tryin it out. Did you use the Galaxy S version of 3.4.7 or if not, which device did u use? To find any of these just google android underground and take it from there I'm just stuck between Galaxy S or Galaxy Tab versions of things lol I'll report back once I finish testin
didnt install right for me got it to download but no readable txt past initial menu, it's like stuff isn't loading or is missing.
So which version for G-Tablet?

3.4.7 according to original post
Confirmed 3.4.7 works really well. The download screen and some of the title screens are not stretched properly but as far as a quick test goes the game itself was working great.

None of them work -- I tried every one...
I can confirm that v3.4.7 will load up and initiates a download of the extra data (232 MB!) but it seems to be the wrong resolution and not even centred on the screen...
Still testing though...
Update: Was just the splash screens that are odd -- once past them the game goes full screen...
Where did you find 3.4.7?
i found it, however none of the text is legible once i start playing, and there are objects and whatnot missing

using clymson's rom ontop of vegan 5.1 here (also have chenglu's quadrant loop feedback loaded as well)
I'm also on Vegan 5.1 -- but with the stock kernel...no other hacks installed yet...
Again, none of the links from MyDigitalLife work -- only 3.4.7 and above work...
So you can try getting it from Gameloft directly on a phone and then side-load it into the tablet -- as long as it is 3.4.7 or later...
The build I found was listed as being for "other phones" (whatever that means)...There are some newer builds available but I haven't tried them -- I stuck with 3.4.7 since it was stated that it works.

New free Flash-based games from Kongregate

Kongregate was bought by GameStop a while ago and now they are offering their app in the Market which will allow you to play over 300 free flash based games.
While this isn't on par with for-pay games from companies like Polarbit or Gameloft, it's something and it's free.
Here's the article.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/18/kongregate-arcade-hits-android-gamestop-shoving-free-flash-game/
Update: The app has been removed from the Market with Google saying they didn't do it and GameStop saying that Google did do it. Meh, whatever. Here's the direct link below to download it from Kongregate directly.
http://www.kongregate.com/android
Aside from the main screen(s) being only in portrait mode, all the games I've tried go full-screen landscape mode and run really well.
Here's to another time-killer.
hum.. It does not show up in the market for me. Was the app already pulled?
Arrgh! Another app that I can't see in market !
Jim
No show here
You can download the app directly from Kongregate!
Www . Kongregate . Com/ android

I did a search in the Market on my g Tab running VEGAn rom beta 5.1 and it showed up for me. I am using Swype and had to modify my properties file to mimic a Galaxy Tab. Maybe that's why it showed for me?
Dude! Gotta tell me how you got swype going! Thats awesome!

Kongregate Arcade is back in the Market
This app is available in the Market again after they made some changes to the app. The downloaded games are no longer saved to the sd card so you can play them later without launching the arcade app first. Now the arcade app runs the games in memory.
It's still free and runs great on my VEGAn rom beta 5.1 gTab.

Download Angry Birds 1.5.1 here!

Hello All!
Having trouble downloading Angry Birds 1.5.1 from the market? Download it from the link below and side load it; I did this on my 2 G Tablets with no issues.
Hope this helps!

You can also get it from getjar.com
Thanks for the apk file link! Do you know what the changes are within the latest version? Thanks.

Sweeeet!
Thank you!
Sweet.. Thanks for helping the tablet community out.
Thanks!
Couldn't find this anywhere before. Had trouble one first install.. but second go-round worked fine.
Thanks....
So does anyone know why we can't download this directly from the market? Does it have something to do with the need for the program to access sms? Thanks for the link by the way.

That was the general rumor; however I can not confirm it yet!
Just got an Angry Birds update on my phone where the developer remove the sms. Be curious to see if I can download it from the market when I get off work.

It also looks like they added really obnoxious ads in there as well. Even worse than the ones that were in there before.
Supposedly this is Angry Birds 1.5.1.1 No Ads on G Tablet ONLY!
Supposedly this is Angry Birds 1.5.1.1 No Ads... However I loaded this file on my 2 G Tablets and my Droid X. Here are the results:
G Tablet 1: Angry Birds Starts (No Ads / Movie Previews) at Load Screen or within the games itself.
G Tablet 2: Angry Birds Starts (No Ads / Movie Previews) at Load Screen or within the games itself
Droid X: Angry Birds Starts; Ads or Movie Previews kick in at Load Screen; Ads also show up within the game itself;
So the file at the link below only gives you no ads on your G Tablet... DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK!
http://www.filesonic.com/file/76805807/com.rovio.angrybirds.apk
***UPDATE***
To be honest I can not see anywhere where this file actually upgraded the program to 1.5.1.1 (this number does not show up in the game or in TB)
I wish there was a pay option I really hate ads.

Download AdFree from the Market. It gets rid of the ads.
[edit] I spoke too soon. Didn't realize the ads you all are talking about was now a part of the game like a movie trailer. [/edit]
To check the version #, click on the Gear, then the "I" for Info button on the main screen...It should report and start scrolling credits...
Thanks for post! I was wondering why it wouldn't show up as an update in the market

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
no dice.
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 had this problem myself at first. I ended up running the market fix 3 or 4 times, then it showed up. Not sure if this helps.
could someone post the line with an example wich need to change in the build.prop ?

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.

Zinio for Xoom

Hi all,
I take absolutely no credit for this to work on Xoom, it's due to the great work of hhspiny who extracted the files from his GalzxyTab; and kevinmajlo who is kind enough to alter some code which solved the FC issue.
Bear in mind that since this app is not optimized for Xoom, don't expect the resolution to be on par with its ipad counterpart. Nevertheless it's good for now until the official version for Xoom comes out.
Here's the installation sequence (you need to sideload all files):
1. Download the 2 attached files
2. Install ReaderHub.apk
3. Install zinio-fixed.apk
After installation completed click the "ReadersHub" app, choose "magazine" and viola!!
Enjoy everyone! Please drop a note whether it works or not for your device.
[Update] For those who would like to be informed regarding the official app, Zinio has placed a link in its tweet. Here's the link:
http://www.jotform.com/form/10865816794
Thank you all involved. Shouted with respect
OMG thank you. I just sold my iPad and have been using Zinio on my small iPod touch screen. Now I have it working on my Xoom!!! Thanks so much.

Should be ok since the fixed problem is not really device-specific. Please report back if it works or not.

Sold your iPad???
I'm on a Xoom 3.1 - installed readershub first, then zinio. Made it as far as logging in, I get the tip box, then it goes into an FC loop. Any thoughts?
How I fixed the FC close issue is turned off the tips. Once I did that, FC issue went away.
keeps fc on my xoom.android 3.1
I used Zinio from the G2X dump and it works perfectly on my transformer. It's the full app where you don't need to samsung's reader hub in order to view magazines. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...3&postcount=12
I've been looking at Zinio's twitter feed and it looks like there's progress being made for a Zinio honeycomb version including a tweet by what looks like a developer for Zinio asking for people who have android tablets. Maybe the devoper is asking for beta testers?
Yah. The games on the iPad were nice but I'd forget I even had one and would go for weeks without using it. Having an EVO, iPod Touch 4, and a Xoom was too much. I can't browse or multitask on an iPad (Mobile Safari sucks and having to click the home button twice to view open apps is a chore). No point in keeping the iPad when everyday the value decreases as more and more iPad 2's are available. Sold it when it was still sellable.
Ok, so I uninstalled zinio and readershub, and now i'm trying to reinstall them both. Readershub installs just fine, but for some reason zinio fails to install. I tried using adb install and adb install -r and they both result in the following error:
Code:
1236 KB/s (5638011 bytes in 4.452s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/zinio-fixed.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]
Any ideas?
--Q
newer version of the Zinio Reader available
I get an message saying that "There is a newer version of the Zinio Reader available. This version is no longer supported. Please upgrade to the latest Zinio Reader."
Anyone knows where to find the updated files?
Thanks.
got this new apk from the samsung app store the other day.
Haven't tried it on the xoom yet but this should be the newer version.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9420176/Zinio.apk
its says canotnot open on Xoom thanks
