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??

how did you guys find this? i downloaded the dump but didn't find anything other than the launcher.

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.

FPS on the captivate

Has anyone tried something like N.O.V.A. by gameloft and how was it? Looks good but im not sure if i want to buy it yet. Would really like a fuctioning BT controller first but im impatient lol

Dude, NOVA barely pushes the captivate to its potential. It runs full framerate, all the time, no lags. First-hand experience.
The iPhone 3gs can run it fine and we have a faster processor and twice the GPU and so does the droid.

i play that game. if you ever run into systox in multiplayer, beware!
lol yeah game looks delicious. i say its gonna be like a year b4 android apps start pushin this phone. especially with the overclock potential.

Thx for the feedback guys. Yeah I knew it would run great just wasnt sure if it was the game play was that great. I cant wait to see what games can take full advantage of our gfx. Ive read that its more than twice as fast as the 530 which I believe the 3gs has

All the gameloft games run super silky smooth. Although the games are super optimized for speed. The iPhone4 runs them just the same. I personally like the controls of NOVA better, but I like Sandstorm better as a game.
Under the whatever 3D test thats standard for these phones, it nearly doubles the rest of the phones on the market in FPS. Best part is that it seems to be quite damn efficient at it too!

How do you guys get N.O.V.A.?? I don't see it in the market.

From the gameloft website.

Thanks, I checked the website, but the browser doesn't let me see the full site....just some wapshop version of it. Anyway around this??

Yeah you have to view the gameloft website on a desktop/laptop. Not from the phone. Although you may have luck browsing the site from dolphin broswer hd, just change the default.mode from android to desktop in settings. Also when you buy the game, you can either buy the snapdragon version or the droid version. I've heard the snapdragon(evo, incredible) versions are crippled in graphics compared to the droid version.

It is a decent game and pretty fun. Controls are intuitive. Only complaint is that the monsters are too easy to kill even on hard.

Guess i need to go ahead and root my phone. They have the compatability for the vibrant listed on their site so its non-sense that they dont have it for the captivate

I'm guessing none of you guys purchased the game in order to try it out, especially considering the Gameloft website doesn't yet have AT&T listed for purchase of the game, much less the Captivate itself.
Why they don't support credit purchases is beyond me.

+1 I cant find them in the market?

As already stated in the thread, see the GameLoft websitegameloft.com/android-games/nova/?adid=101966

I checked the site out, when I go to buy it which carrier should I select? It only lists t-mo, vzw and sprint.

I bought NOVA and Dungeon Hunter from Gameloft, I picked tmobile and I9000 for the phone and gave it my number, and it plays both flawlessly, and looks great.

the thing with gameloft is interesting.
For example, Asphalt5 ...it works awesome on our phones but only up to version 3.1.3...any version after that and it is like is no longer using hardware mode...just not as smooth like running software mode.
I contacted them and they are going to "look" into it.
Good thing is that I got my refund immediately after I uninstall the program from google so thats cool but I do want to pay for the game though.

i have most of the gameloft games on my captivate and so far I'm very impressed they work great so far the games I have been playing a lot are hawx, dugeon hunter and N.O.V.A its crazy how far cell phone gaming has come....ps1 graphics on a cell phone

3d games on G Tab

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.

You're welcome. Feeling bad for the developer because everybody is taking it for granted by rating it low simply because it takes a long time to download / lag (because they're using a older device) / purchased it at full price / etc.
I mean come on, it's a good game and a lot of effort was put into it.

Nice. Thanks.

Does the game run smooth on your Nexus S? It's not smooth on mine. The graphics are all laggy like less than 20 fps.

WOW, very nice!

it's been several hours, and i've had it with it...
the download breaks down every other file -_-
and then you have to start it all over again, more or less

that's odd. mine downloaded fine in about 15 seconds...

It seems the game doesn't work on my i9023(unrooted).
I don't understand why.
Is it a bug or something?
I almost turned off every other app to make room for enough ram.
Need second confirmation.

if you still have problem downloading grab the full package from the developers http://dungeondefenders.com/androidmobile

I downloaded it on friday from market. Its works fine on my i9023.
Only it was a lot of download of files before the first run.
The whole download took about 30 minutes.

Dl and works fine, lvl 10 so far. Kinda laggy at times with alot of monsters come out, but still very playable. I try and do online play but always get kicked out...i guess they dont like lvl10 ppl

This is laggy as hell for me, and im clocked at 1.3ghz, uninstalled.
Is it actualyl smooth for anyone? Or are ya just putting up with the frames?

I just loaded the app and it started. What kernel are you using? Are you on OC GPU? I don't like that OC stuff so I'm stock. I'm up to level 40 and it hasn't sputtered or crashed (knock on morning wood).

It seems to work for me.. the 'not for tablets' is probably because it isn't optimized as well as you have to scroll the screen a little bit up/down to see the top are of the screen for putting towers etc and down to put them on the lowest part of the playing field. Otherwise.. seems to work great for me.

I get an Unauthorized Request error when I start it up. I click OK and it closes .

I'm using a custom kernel. Try going to the dev section and looking in the Notubuntu thread. Flash that kernel and try it. Maybe its kernel related. Mines works fine everytime. I'm on wave 70 and no hiccups.
By the way I'm not overclocked or anything. I'm using the stock honeycomb also. If you guys are using a different ROM it could be an issue.

For me the trick is to do a two finger re-size on the black background, this causes the play field to be redrawn and works great.

Anyone have this issue? See the small text?
Man this game is harder than it looks. How the hell do I stop the helicopters from getting past? I feel like I'm upgrading the early buildings and its killing me!

I noticed that when my game ended and my name was on my high score list. I could not read the list. Either the text was microscopic or was not working correctly.

Early on drop a middle launcher along the aircraft flight path, then lightning generators later in the round.
I have the same "small text" issue with the high scores screen - this is probably the reason this game isn't "approved" for tablets.
