Grand Theft Auto III works fine - G Tablet Themes and Apps

Just a note that the newly released GTA III port (http://bit.ly/vZjhEn) works fine on my Gtablet running the newest repackage of CM7 for bootloader 1.2. Frame rate is great, graphics aren't missing textures, and the game plays well. Quite a good port.

Also works on my friends gtab running veagantab rc1 bl1.1

160. I changed it because I prefer the larger fonts/look.

I just downloaded it from the market and then let it do its thing. No workarounds; it just worked.

It doesn't work on froyo roms. Bummer. Ill just wait till the. 36 kernel is done

For some reason I cannot get GTA3 to show in the market. I even bought it in the browser market. I'm running Flashback 10.3, any suggestions?

Looks like the barrage of negative reviews about incompatibility caused Rockstar to list a lot of devices as incompatible. Since I can now see all the old Flashback ROMs I used to run on the list of devices, I can tell you they're all now listed as incompatible. My Epic is as well, so.... well, looks like Rockstar should have tested it a bit more.

Hi All:
I'm running CM7.02 Repack BL1.2, and and +1 that GTA III 10 yr Ann. version works with no problem on the gTab.
I did have some issues to be able to load it due to having over 15 differnt ROMS previously installed (yeah I know).
Issue #1 Screen Density, I had it at 120, changed it to 160 (thx tedlogan42). If you are have texture issues with some other games, try dloaing BuildProp editor, search or google it, its free and xda has great posts on how to use it. Basically you want to:
In the /system/build.prop file, I changed this line:
ro.sf.lcd_density=120
to this:
ro.sf.lcd_density=160
(save and reboot to apply change)
Issue #2, cant find GTA III in the market, or a game that used to install now says its not compatible to your device, well after you changed your screen density:
-goto Settings>>Applications>>>Manage Applications>>>All Tab
-scroll to Market
-Force Stop
-Clear Cache
-Clear Data
-Reboot the Gtab
Once Gtab is rebooted and stable, launch Market, you should see the "Accept EULA" window. Click accept, search for your game GTA III or whatever game that used to run.
Hope this helps someone....

Decided to try this out on Flashback 10.3 (HC) to see what happens. Setting LCD density to 160 does not play nice. I undid the changes and things are working fine. There may be a way to adjust other variables to make this work better, but that is beyond the scope of my knowledge.

Decided to try this without the change to screen density to see what happened. No love. I imagine the screen density in build prop must be altered before trying this. I may try changing the screen density, clearing market data, accepting EULA, trying to find GTA III, and then restoring my screen density. No time now, but perhaps on Xmas when I'll have nothing to do.

While your suggestions didn't help me due to ROM differences, I bet they'll help someone with a similar setup to yours. Additionally, you introduced me to Root Explorer and Build.prop modifications. Something awesome that I didn't know about. Thanks for the knowledge and taking the time to reply!

CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1 works but no sound
The game shows up in Market with CM7.1 and it installs fine but there is no sound. Also, the controls on the game is hard for me to get used to. There's too much happening with too many "buttons" on the screen clustered together to make them useful. I wish it would have game controller support.
Can't wait for a Ice Cream Sandwich ROM since I've read that it's supposed to have built in game controller support.

psx4droid v2 finally working on Nexus S

I downloaded the update for PSX4droid this morning and played a few rounds of Marvel vs Capcom, although it is a little choppy, this is the first version to run on Gingerbread.
EDIT: changed refresh rate to 30, played smoothly, but forced closed after a while.
snesdroid is also working.
whoooooooo I'm going to have fun tonight

Hi, I can't get it to work on my Nexus S. I just downloaded PSX4Droid, the correct BIOS (SCPH1001) and 2 different versions of FFVII. One is a .bin and the other is .iso. I can't get either to work.
When I click them in the ROM selector the menu slides off to the left (as if it's loading the game) but then it just goes back to the ROM selector page.
Any tips/ideas?
EDIT: PS: The .bin version came as an ECM but I unpacked it correctly.

Having the exact same problem on my Nexus S, and am following that same procedure. I also had another game that was in the ECM format that I converted to .bin format following other instructions, and tried like 7 other BIOS files I found online too. Anyone that got it to work want to shed some light on how they are doing it?
Wanted to add that I am using the free version, maybe only the paid version was updated to work?
EDIT: OK, really wanted it to work haha so went ahead and bought the v2 paid version, and it does actually work, so I guess that the free version has not been updated to work with the nexus s yet.
I can play games for a while, but they all eventually force close. Wack
Where are you guys finding PSX ROMs?
I'm unsure of the rules on this forum so don't want to link. Just google "psx roms" and use the first result. The URL starts with "emu"
force closing

I bought this a while ago for the n1. While the performance is better here on the ns than on the n1, playing a game eventually results in a force close. A bit frustrating.
I'm holding out for fpsece which is said to be coming out soon, with much better performance than psx4droid.

Yes, a psx emu. Put cd images of psx games you own on internal storage and play them on your phone with virtual controls.
Psx4droid Not working on Nexus S
I tried both the free and pay version of psx4droid and never got a rom to work. I downloaded different roms form different sources and even did some converting to .bin file from 7e files. Still nada. I also did the whole sch1001.bin (or whatever the correct file name is) and loaded that into the emulator but again nothing. All that happens is that when I try to load a rom is goes back to the menu page or just crashes. Any ideas about what I can or should do?
Thanks
I can't run smooth any ps1 rom . Hix . How can i config it ?...
http://www.fpsece.net/
fpse has finally been released (around a day ago). It's on the market for approximately $5. I'm going to give it a go and see how it runs.
Got it working
For those of you still having trouble with psx4droid on the Nexus S:
Download the v2 apk, not the v3 available on zodttd's website.
I found this, who knows how long it'll be there, but it works fine on my phone:
Ok seems it won't let me post a link, but just google "psx4droid v2 v1.1.2.apk" or a variation of it and that should do it.
Just tried it with Castlevania SOTN and it ran slow but at least it worked, I'm sure messing around with the settings could speed it up a bit, I'll research it when I get a minute. Tried FF Tactics and it booted up fine, didn't try gameplay yet.

NETFLIX DISABLES DEVICE CHECK!!!! - [HowTo] Get Netflix working on Nook Color

NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Netflix has Disabled Device Check and you can now Install straight from Market without any Hacks.
I tested and it works on my Nook Color CM7 7.0.3
For people that still have issues though, I'll leave up the HowTo.
Since people aren't looking through the Netflix App thread for the HowTos that I and other people are posting here is my HowTo.
HowTo guide for those that don't understand what build.prop is.
Android 2.3 ROMs(CM7 Stable, Phiremod, ect...)
ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
CM7 nightlys + Android 2.2 ROMs(Stock, Froyo, ect...)
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
Just make sure you backup your build.prop file before editing just in case you need to switch back.(Copy it somewhere and rename it build.prop.bak)
For Newbs:
-Remount /system as RW using Root Explorer (Open Folder then press button at the Top)
-Backup the /system/build.prop to /system/build.prop.bak (In Root Explorer just Copy it and Paste in the same place)
-Edit the file /system/build.prop with a text editor (Hold down in Root Explorer for Popup then tap "Open in Text Editor" )
-Replace each line with it's above replacements
-Make sure there are no extra spaces at the ends of lines as that can cause problems
-Save the file
-Hard Reboot
TaDa! Netflix Works!

Cool beans. Question, though: Can I download a movie from Netflix so I can watch it offline? Like on a plane? I know from my TV there is an option, basically, to start watching a movie, stop watching, and you then have 24 or 48 hours, or something, to finish watching it. And then I guess it self destructs, or something.
If you can't do this, I wonder why anyone would give a crap about watching a movie on their WiFi-only Color Nook. Most people have a TV or at least a laptop with a bigger screen...
Worked like a charm! Thanks
Desperate to find out if you NetFlix will actually stream the file to your CN and then you can watch it whenever you want, or, perhaps there's a time limit. My guess is not, but it works like that when streaming to my Blue Ray player at home. If it can;t do this, I really don't see much value in having this service. Big deal. I can watch a movie on a small screen with my 46" TV in the next room, or my 15" inch laptop 2 feet away. I want it for plane rides, where I won't have internet access.
Awesome- now to see if netflix works on Galaxy tab and use its info to hopefully get HQ
Not working for me.
Have CM7.0.0 with Android 2.3.3. So I tried the "Nexus S" and "samsung" thing first. Hard rebooted. Installed the APK. Tells me the device is not supported.
So I tried the "HTC Vision" and "HTC" ones next. Rebooted, cleared the data, removed and reinstalled the app. Still getting the same error.
Confirmed the build.prop file changes are saving properly. Not sure what went wrong for me.

not working for me for some reason either.
Used ES File Manager to mount /system as RW

There are no unnecessary spaces in there.
powered off, and then powered back on.
get the "device not supported" message.
Running CM Nightly 72 and Dalingrin's OC running at 1.1 (hope I spelled the name right)
anybody having this problem?
Also it seemed to break YouTube when I had those settings in the build.prop file.
After I restored my backup build.prop file youtube worked fine again.
I got the beta 3.1 CM7 to run it with the Nexus S mod... well it sorta runs. It plays at super fast mode and doesnt slow down and doesnt realize its going fast forward sounds like alvin and the chipmonks

I have date and time manually set. Didn't matter if I turned on network time. I am on satellite internet, so wondered if it might be a signal latency issue?
Hey all,

yeah doesn't work i got it to recognize it as a nexus s but when i load a video it just buffers or does nothing.

[Q] How can I download DeadSpace?

After reading some positive reviews and seeing a video showing it working on a TouchPad running Android, I decided to buy DeadSpace. I made the purchase through market.android.com, but I can't download it because the Market app says it's not compatible with my device. Does anyone have a recommendation for how to download this game now that I've bought it? Can I change the device ID or something to make the market think my TouchPad is something that is compatible?
Thanks!
try changing your build.prop info to the same as the SG-i9100
In the build.prop change the following lines from:
ro.product.model=Touchpad
ro.product.brand=HP
to
ro.product.model=GT-i9100
ro.product.brand=samsung

Actually this did work for me and I was able to download the game. I did have to clear cache on Market and clear data on Google Services Framework, then reboot, but once I did, it showed up. I had to perform these steps on my Nook Color back in the day as well...
So now that it's installed, the game starts and says it needs to download 300+MB. I tell it to do so and it immediately shows an empty dialog with only an "Exit" button, after which it exits. I can't get past that. Any ideas?
Also, I installed Chainfire3D and the Nvidia plugin. Is that necessary? Is that correct for the TouchPad? Is there any other configuration that I should do for this to work well?
Thanks much for the help!
You could try the other plugins powervr or qualcomm
Glad you were able to get it downloaded. Not sure on the download issue though.
If you have another supported device you could try downloading the files on it and moving them over - or see if someone has posted the sdcard files somewhere.
Have the exact same issue with Dead Space. Asphalt 6 HD works like a charm though. I'm looking for answers but I get the same response.... wash, rinse, repeat (wipe, clear cache, repeat thrice...)
Haven't tried doing the 3-peat yet. If anyone else has and has achieved success after having the same issue with this game, let us know!
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using Tapatalk
Success! Took a while though.....
So I updated my build.prop to the Pyramid device... (sorry, no link where I found that, but GT-i9100 should do fine too). Then I side loaded the main apk like suggested in previous threads. Then I copied the root folder from my Evo where I already had it installed to my PC and transferred the folder to my TP like it was already fully installed.
From there it still said my device wasn't supported, so I installed the powervr plugin for chainfire3d, used in-app settings through chainfire.
Here's where it got weird: I kept getting the same error over and over of my device not being supported. Then my wifi connected and when I ran the game, it immediately searched for an update. Apparently it found one! Suddenly I'm up and running, smooth as silk.
Now gonna try Real Racing 2!

Anyone know a solution for this? I'm getting the same issue. I'm running Jensen 2.8 lite with the buildprop changes and also installed chainfire3d with all the pluggins. No go
Okay, I used my Nook Color to download the data, transferred that back to the TouchPad, and launched it successfully. When it starts rendering 3D, though, it's all white with no textures. What Chainfire3D settings are folks using on the TouchPad that work?
I have read somewhere to use the following option for chainfire 3D as this is the GPU-manufacturer:
qualcomm
it may be worth a try.

Yeah, I've tried all three plugins with the various options enabled and disabled. No go. Has anyone gotten this going with A3.5? Between this and the lockups in Currents and other Webkit apps, I'm strongly considering going back to the previous alpha.
Okay, I finally got this working. I moved back to A2.1 which didn't actually fix anything (though it does seem to have resolved the lockups in Webkit-based apps like Google Reader and Currents, though they're not as smooth when they're working), but then I purchased the full version of Chainfire 3D and launched Dead Space using per-app settings. Suddenly it worked perfectly! I don't know why that would make a difference...perhaps I just didn't know how to use the free version. Either way, $4 is a small price to pay for the added flexibility of the full version of Chainfire 3D, and of course now I have a working, silky smooth Dead Space! Woohoo!
UPDATE: Okay, I know the magic incantation now. This works under A3.5 (and therefore presumably XRON) just fine if you use the PowerVR plugin in ChainFire 3D. I didn't have to reduce texture quality or anything else, just set the plug-in to PowerVR. I hope this helps others get this really nice looking game going on their TouchPads!

[Q] Anyone have issues with certain apps not displaying FULLY on the Notes screen?

Hi All,
As the title asks... Is anyone else having issues with apps not displaying "fully" on the screen of the Note?
I have an issue with the "Scrabble Free" game where it runs ok but it only shows the game screen in the top left corner of the screen. It is showing the WHOLE page but it is less that a quarter the size of the screen.
Can someone maybe download this game and see if its that same for you? Its free. And if anyone has other apps that they have this issue with then perhaps share them here so we can make a list of these "wonky" apps.
If you know how to fix this then please advise as well.
Thanks,

The stock DPI is 320.
But if you have not modded it the chances are that it is at the stock value.
Nevertheless, install any DPI changing software from the market, they generally show the current value. if you are at 320 dpi then it most probably is the problem with the app. otherwise just change to 320 reboot and check

EA Games

Sorry if this has been posted before, I did a search, but couldn't find anything...
I bought a few of the EA games back when the market had a sale, and I've gotten Shadowgun and Dead Space to work on the 03/22 nightly with Rohan's super mod pack (build.prop is spoofed as a Galaxy S II, I think), but the Play store keeps telling me that my device is incompatible with Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. I can find it on the store, view the page and all, but it keeps saying "Your device is incompatible with this version." It's available on a legit Galaxy S II, so I'm wondering if this incompatibility is due to the build.prop missing some other entry or if it's just the market being silly. Any help is appreciated.
Very surprised you got Dead Space working, I have not been able to get a single EA Game to work on my TP. I get 5002 errors and I have even tried to side load the SD data with no luck...

I just ended up side loading the SD data from a friend's tablet, it worked fine. I did have to change the Chainfire plugin to nVidia before it would run though. On PowerVR, the entire screen went white.
Perfect thread. I was about to ask what device name should be used in build prop to allow Dead Space to run. I had it running briefly on my Nook Color but went back to a standard build prop. Does anybody have the line handy in build prop with a device name that I could try? (Like a Galaxy or what not)

Does anybody have the line handy in build prop with a device name that I could try? (Like a Galaxy or what not)

The model I'm using is the SGH-t989, the TMobile Galaxy S II. If you boot into recovery and flash this mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519161), it should give you a working build.prop. Sorry I don't have the actual lines handy, but I got mine from the mod.

I got Dead Space working using the Modpack from the link above and then installing Chainfire3D Pro setting the Per-App feature with the NVIDIA plugin. Graphics are mind blowing on my TP!
It was money well spent for the App.

I just ended up side loading the SD data from a friend's tablet, it worked fine. I did have to change the Chainfire plugin to nVidia before it would run though. On PowerVR, the entire screen went white.

Just where do I get the nVidia plugin....just how do I properly install it on Chainfire3d?

Plugins are here:

I highly recommend installing the pro version of Chainfire3D and using the Per-App feature for each game and plugin.
Installing: After downloading the plugins to your directory, run the app and select install plugins/shaders. The app will run a tedious search for the zip files and present you with the results, then just select the plugins you want installed.
After the plugins are installed I suggest you reboot then run the game.
Best,
Going back to the original question, anyone know why NFS:HP isn't working on the Touchpad? Spoofed as a GS2, running ICS nightly 03/22 and Rohan's Supermod pack.
I'll give the new Rohan mods a try.
To those who have successfully installed dead space; do you notice hitching, especially when moving laterally with the graphics? Its not game breaking but it definitely isn't smooth when I have played it

It's working fine for me. I haven't had much time to play lately, but as of chapter 3, there's been no graphical artifacts using the nVidia plugin.
Bumping the NFS:HP issue though. No one has any sliver of an idea? I'd really hate to have bought it for nothing.

Dead Space works great for me, I guess I don't know what you mean by "hitching".
As for NFS, I have NFS: Shift and not Hot Pursuit.. I was able to get Shift working with the NVIDIA plugin using Chainfire, the game starts out good with menus, setting, options what not but when it comes to race time the accelerometer on the Touchpad seems to only work correctly while holding the Touchpad in a portrait position all the while the game continues to play out in landscape mode. Gets rough on your neck after a few laps..hehe
As for getting the APK and data onto your Touchpad requires a little extra work on your part.
I used "Bluetooth File transfer" (free in the market) to get the NFS apk sent from my LG G2x over to my Touchpad.
I installed BTFT onto both the devices so as to avoid issues with transfering.
From my G2x:
1) Using BTFT, Menu >More >Send Applications >select NFS > Send
2) Find your Touchpad on the list of BT Devices that comes up - if none then Menu >Search Devices (Make sure your TP is discoverable first)
Once the APK is sent over to your TP you can install it. I think the Default file transfer directorythat BTFT uses is "/SDCard".
Next you will need to send over the Data Files from the Game. The location is Android>Data>
Find the folder that looks something like "com.eamobile.nfs_hotpursuit" OR simular for NFS Shift it was "com.eamobile.nfsshift_na_wf".
Copy the complete folder to the same directory on your Touchpad.
If you don't have the folder in that directory on your phone then you have yet to download the data needed to run the game.
DO That first then go back and follow the steps.
Sound confusing enough? Good coz I'm just as lost! hehe..
G'luck
Haven't had a chance to side load it yet, but I'm bumping to see if anyone has any idea as to why the Play store won't let a Galaxy S II download NFS.
You can always just download it via touchpad and side load to phone if phone isn't compatible.

Heres a good tutorial on changing your build.prop. This guy has a lot of good videos by the way.

The phone is compatible, but I'm using a Touchpad that's spoofed as a GS2 in the build.prop. Which is why I'm confused the Play store won't let me download it on to my Touchpad.
