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 !

No show here

You can download the app directly from Kongregate!

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!

The instructions are in the thread below. I can't live without Swype on my gTab and my Droid X. My job issued me an iPhone 4 and an iPad and wish I could use Swype on them as well.
Anyway, here it is.

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.

Most imp tablet specific app needed?

Hi guys,
I really want to love the Xoom, I like android a lot and the hardware is too good (at least at this point)
But I not in place where I can drop my iPad for good. The reasons are pure app specific, if I get these decent on Xoom... it's bye bye iPad.
So this is a quasi-'need help' thread. to double check if I'm not missing anything
1. Magazine app - Something like Zinio, I depend too much on it and couldn't find even an ETA on when Zinio will be available for Android
~ Solved. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11939617&postcount=5
2. Comics reader - I know we have the Comics app but I need a cbr/cbz reader. I tired AVC but doesn't seam to work on Honeycomb
~ Solved. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11939617&postcount=6
3. A UI-nice IM app. I love the Gtalk app but need facebook and skype IM app
4. Netflix app.
5. Tablet specific twitter, facebook, foursquare apps. I know iPad doesn't have FB or FS apps but this would be nice
6. Now the big big deal... I consider all these tablets as a 'consumption' devices, and the biggest thing I 'consume' is movies and tv shows...
The best thing about iPad is, I just launch iTunes app then rent a movie, wait for sometime and then enjoy the movie...
Is there a way I can get this experience on a Xoom? I know that right now most of the HD formats play on tegra but is there any hope to get this?
~~~~~~~~~~
Disclaimer: Please don't pounce on this post and call me a iFreak. I'm not trying to diss the Xoom or Android. I did search and try apps to see if I could get all this... but couldn't find a way. So before I make a decision I just wanted some opinions.
thanks

Don't forget the completely absent Google Docs app! Someone please tell me its in the works....

If you download Spare parts and unselect Compatibility mode AVC works great. i have been using it for days now with no FC.

Zinio works great. I use it on my Xoom and Galaxy Tab.

Have you tried jj comic viewer for comics? i cant confirm it works on 3.0 but it is the best ive found pre HC

A Market app that works...
Searches properly so you can find those Apps you want that may exist but you would never know.
Recognizes applications that have updates properly.
Doesn't randomly open other app's.
Actually installs Apps the first time you ask for them.
And why Google is at it, Tablet Section - more direct support on the Web Market while the programmer who is assigned to the tablet market app figures out how to code - bug fix.
(yes I am frustrated with the market today)

I don't remember if manga watcher loads cbz and crz files but in general it is really good app. It was recently updated to load local files from sd so it might be worth checking out. I know the dev does alot of work and updates it frequently. You might even write him and ask if he plans to add support for these files if they aren't already supported. I bought the full app and have been happy with it ever since.
All I have to say is Samurai Executioner.

[Download]New Market!!! [3.0.26]

You Can download the apk here --http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15594566#post15594566
Recently, we’ve been hard at work improving Android Market to give you new ways to find great applications and games, purchase books, and rent movies. Today, we’re releasing a new version of Android Market which makes all of these available on phones (Android 2.2 and higher).
In the U.S., you’ll be able to rent thousands of movies, starting at $1.99, right from Android Market on your phone. With the Videos app, available in Android Market, there’s no more waiting for downloads, syncing, or worrying about storage space. Simply sign into Android Market with your Google account, and you can rent movies from anywhere – the web, or your Android phone or tablet – and start watching instantly. You can also download movies to your device so they’re available for viewing when you don’t have an internet connection.
Also in the U.S., you can now purchase books from Android Market on your phone. Like movie rentals, books are linked to your Google account, so they’re instantly available across all of your devices – computer, phone, or tablet – without the need for wires or downloads.
You’ll be delighted to find we’ve overhauled Android Market to make it faster, easier, and more fun to discover great apps, movies, and books. We’ve created more space to feature some of the most interesting content of the week on the home page. We’ve added more top charts, with newer, more relevant items, and we’ve made it easy to swipe through these charts as you browse the store. We’ve also introduced new collections of great content, like staff picks and Editors’ Choice apps.
The new Android Market will be rolling out in the coming weeks to Android 2.2 and higher phones around the world. You don’t need to do anything - the update is automatic on supported phones. If you’re in the U.S., you’ll also be able to download the Videos app, rent movies, and buy books once you receive the new Android Market.
Your phone is about to get a lot more interesting! Enjoy the new Android Market.

Anyone thinks that the interface is good, but it's lagging so much that makes you hard to download any applications / update your apps.
I mean I love the "Editor's choice" and "Staff's Choice" thingy, it makes it easier for me to download apps through their recommendation but it lags
Anyway here's the default android market.
flash it using ur EX4 or clockworkmod or whatever recovery you're using

Same problem with Asphalt 6 and ICS on G Note
I have the same problem with Asphalt after update to official ICS on Galaxy Note. Game works ok then freezes after playing for about a minute. It also freezes intermittently on a black screen when i press the back button. I also have the version form the Samsung Apps store.

Well, I had faced in many Gameloft Games.
Later I found that Gameloft Games found over net (Torrents & Other Sharing Sites) mostly are not greatly compatible with Galaxy Note. They might turn up showing full screen but most users get stuck at downloading.
Whats the solution?
Try this Link: I guess it is Asphalt6HD which I downloaded before sometime & Worked well for me.
Click here to download
Another Solution: If you are going for paid games, then go to gameloft store & set compatibility to N7000 and then it will show you the exact version which you should buy. That will be sure shot working for the bucks you paid Besides they have Customer Care Online support if you shell your money for their apps
Before installing, remove all the data for the prior game you had downloaded. Then only it will work else a refund message shall come.

My version of Asphalt 6 came free from the Samsung Apps
My version of Asphalt 6 came free from the Samsung Apps store. It was working flawlessly until i update to ICS LPQ and now it FC after a minute or so of racing. Order and Chaos is also not working correctly. The game runs fine however i keep getting freezes on my phone every few hours with the touch screen locking up and not accepting input culminating in Android reporting that "the process order and chaos has stopped working" at which point the phone sort of warm reboots and my home screen and app draw is redrawn.

Yep, ruined by the upgrade. Did anyone get the message about trying to check for a newer version, but no connection?

Guys
1.0.3 version is for NOTE and free from Samsung Apps it works flawlessly on gingerbread but on ICS it stops after few minutes
1.3.3 works on ICS but you have to re download data as its data is different and 1.0.3 data wont work for 1.3.3
having said that 1.3.3 works on NOTE ICS but its graphics are poor / you can check by playing both versions side by side on ICS
you will see 1.0.3 has better graphics, its more clear even on start up screen where you see ASPHALT logo ..press screen to continue ...it is crisp and in HD quality
but on 1.3.3 its not clear
so right now the only thing is get back to GB and enjoy your asphalt 6 until we get an update
plus you can also play Real Racing 2 on GB and that too dont work on ICS
happy playing

samsung apps removed this game already. No longer available...

Google Play and my 8.9 Galaxy

Ever since I got my 8.9 Galaxy tab I've noticed issues with the Google Play store. Things like the HBO Go app not being available for it, but if you were to go behind the Google Play and manual install the Kindle fire's version it would work beautifully. I've ran into other apps that are not available for me, but are for similar devices. Now I'm noticing google is offering magazines, but they are only for 7 & 10 inch devices. Which makes no sense to me since you can buy a whole range of monitors for your computer and that doesn't seem to affect what your doing on it.
I guess I'm used to a world where to run an app you only need to have the correct OS and hardware to run it.
Why does android applications seem more concerned with brand name of your device and the screen size?

magazines
Looks like just after my post they updated my Google Play to allow for the purchases of magazines. It still seems that there are issues with the Android Market when it comes to compatibility that don't truly reflect if your device is compatible or not.

Google Play has been like this for a long time. Developers may wish on allow their app on confirmed working devices and will place restrictions on who can download it. While this helps keep their ratings higher from incompatible users hating their app. It leaves less popular devices out in the cold regardless of compatibility issues. But its why we have apk files and friendly xda members to get them for us
