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.

Working Angry Birds!!

OK, I posted this in the old Angry Birds thread, but it got no comments, so I'm not sure anyone is paying attention to it anymore. Anyways, I'm so excited to have Angry Birds working properly finally, so thought I'd try to share again.
See this thread for details and download:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904317
It works great for me on Floyo 1.2 with the latest OpenGL patch.
EDIT: The above link no longer works. The apk can now be downloaded at the following two links although I haven't checked to see if they are the exact same version (there have been a couple patched versions of this game).
http://www.mediafire.com/file/av7iy7zu8qtoecz/AngryBirds_1.3.5_patched.apk Upload provided by user DonNaWaF
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5115431/com.rovio.angrybirds-1.apk This is the apk pulled off my phone and uploaded to my personal Dropbox. It should be a faster download, but I'll probably only leave it up for a week or so.

Downloading it and will have a try

It works great with VR12 Flykernel 11c OC:710Mhz
Thanks.

? What patch? Using 1.1 and have still white textures....
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App

The thread I linked to in the first post has a patched version of Angry Birds with the missing textures added back in, but somehow optimized to still run at decent speeds. So you'll need download and install the apk from that thread.
The newest version of OpenGL may or may not have any effect on gameplay. I just mentioned that I was using it in case it does make a difference for some.

yep working really well on elelinux 6.2

White
I still see some white textures but for the rest it works awsome
Thx

The ground texture is missing, is that normal?
Thanks.

I'm using FroydVillain 1.7.2 with OpenGL 1.1 patch and it still lags like hell for me.

working very good on my stock Tmobile G2 Touch 2.1
thank you

Simple question guys! Anyone having the same issue?

It is missing (the ground like a horizontal strip under the catapult) but I was assuming that since I am using an ad blocker and that's where the ads would go.... right?

Nope, it only happens on the Hero, tryed it on a Lg and the ground texture is there.

Angry birds will never run on the Hero
Without the textures, i.e. "fixed" version, even I get lag, and I have a processor that will happily sit at 748 when needed...

So they've been saying ever since the beta came out. then the full version came out and it was a little better. Then it was updated and made it 10x worse and then they got bored and released seasons...
Still though. Lets hope! Ive gone off angry birds lately anyway, Ive completed it (even with a tiny bit of lag on this version) so unless there are new levels in the reworked official release then I wont be needing it.
Shame really that xda members can crack on at it faster

Thread above is down - any possibility to get a patched Version of it?

Rovio has said that they will be releasing a Hero friendly version of Angry Birds shortly, so be patient and hopefully an official working version will be available in the Market soon.
I seem to have deleted the apk for the patched version anyways, so I can't post it up. Sorry.

Netflix :(

* Netflix does not appear in the Market for Droid 3.
* Attempting to play a movie on Netflix on Droid 3 via sideload will crash your phone.

I side loaded it and it runs as far as the app but video is a bunch of green crap with no sound.

That's what I got. But seconds after the green crud... the phone rebooted itself.

Weird, especially given this: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/07/0...cation-droid3-just-got-a-lot-more-attractive/

did you upgrade all adobe flash to the latest.

I know, you'd think it'd be no problem, which is what I assumed. Perhaps support for the OMAP4 is coming via update?

That would be my guess. I think the D3 is the first with OMAP 4 in it, the Bionic is next so once a few devices have it and are selling Netflix will see a reason for it.

There is also multiple different netflix's out there, have you tried all of them?

Hi I tried netflix on cyanogenmod 7 and it worked fine, but when I try to do it in coredroid it said my phone was able. What sup with that.

I used the deviceless apk I snagged for my nook and tried it on the d3. I got the green screen bit, then it just kicked back to the netflix queue, no reboot.

They need to hurry up with this ****... Hulu too!
I don't want to pay some other company every month to use their software to watch something offered by another company I pay money to.

Well if you can't wait just use a 30 day trial from playon.tv and get netflix that way.. I would imagine they will have the app by the end of this month or early next

Same here with the green crap. Audio actually does work, by the video decoding is busted. I used 3 or 4 different version of Netflix, some crashed my phone, others had the busted decoding.

It's compatible now, or so it says. Mine isn't working. It streams but everything is all green.
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk

Yup same here. It will allow me to download and install from the market, but I get the green pixelated screen followed by a reboot.

Confirming, officially supported, and still officially broken.

The version you are downloaded is the 1.2.2 and we have to wait for the "official" 1.3 update. It seems Google is possibly being a little slow?

The 1.3 update just hit the android market and it now works for the D3... Although the colors are not as good as it looked on my old Droid Inc.
Maybe some tweaking can resolve the color issue...

Confirmed, updated version is working for D3 quite nicely.

[Q] [Sprint] Better Than Life EF17 ROM, Missing Market Apps/Movies

So a few days ago, I flashed the Larger Than Life EF17 ROM that recently came out. I loved having a rooted Tab with Froyo so i jumped when i saw it in Gingerbread.
I am having one annoying problem though. I am unable to find a few apps on the Anidroid Market that were there on stock Gingerbread. The main two i can think of are Netflix and Documents2Go. I purchased the activating/key program for D2G and can find that but no luck on the main app.
I dont absolutely need Netflix but D2G is my favorite office app and use it nearly daily.
The other oddity is that in the latest market, it shows Books for purchase but i dont see a single movie to rent. The entire movie section is missing from the market.
I understand this is likely causes by the device fingerprint but i dont know what to change it to.
Does anyone have any ideas on what i could do to get back the apps i had in stock EF17? I would have replied to the ROM thread in the Development forum but i havent posted enough on the xda forums to do so.

There are ways to fix the symptoms very easily, but it won't fix the problem you're describing. I've got a netflix apk I can post that should work(don't have d2g). But like I said, won't make apps come up in the market.

i've got the same issue, and cannot update my system apps in the market (says I am up to date, even though I am not).
i keep just pulling them down off my phone and emailing them to myself, but that gets old

Grand Theft Auto 3

Hi Everyone! I was wondering if anybody purchased GTA 3 today? (It just came out!)
The Droid 3 wasn't listed on the supported devices, but I can see it in the market, and I was wondering if anyone picked it up and has it working on a D3?
Thanks!

It says its compatible with the Droid 3, will try later.

Does it? I didn't see it on the list of supported devices.. and unfortunately nobody has a review of it saying it works on the D3 (why don't people like this phone, it has a freakin keyboard!)
Whatever, I'm buying it anyway... should work on my transformer if it doesn't work on the D3

FYI, the game crashes right to the home screen after the title screen comes up. Looks like it doesn't work

What I read was that there's like 4 version.. GTA3, GTAIII GTA 3, etcetc. And some seem to work on some phones while not working on others

It doesn't work, looks like they aren't supporting OMAP/PowerVR phones yet. But there is hope as they are adding support for the Galaxy Nexus an OMAP/PowerVR phone, and I imagine that release will support similar phones. NFL 12 did this. I would have thought OMAP/PowerVR would be the first to get the game since this seems to be where are the new phones are headed (or at least the Nexus series), but I imagine porting a game takes a while so who knows how long they've been working.

Hi all...
Verzion 1.1 works on my Droid 3 without problem.
I must use apk + data for i9000
I tried play the game with HDMI output on my TV and......GREAD

wow it really does work

Tried it on my bionic and it doesn't work. Crashes.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

I have a few glitches...trees are giant green blobs, glass doesn't show up, and the graphics seem lower quality. But still glad it runs!

Version 1.1 is working, I had to obtain the apk since the Android market says its incompatible with the Droid 3 yet Rockstar says they added Droid Bionic support (spec wise they are practically the same)
Graphics are good but laggy, I downloaded them on my phone over wifi. Either way its still pretty amazing that a game that required then then pretty new PS2 can now run on a phone 10 years later.
The nice part is some of the keyboard buttons work, but I don't see a way to remap keys in the options.
The arrow keys work and also:
w - look up
a - look left
s - look down
d - look right
f, enter - enter/exit car
c - change view
space - jump (brake in car)

Where did you find the apk? I tried installing 1.1 from 2 different sites and both did not work. I will eventually purchase this, if Rockstar ever makes a compatible version...

UPDATE: 1.1 works.

Ill confirm this is working. No lag on mine running CM9. Smooth as silk!
Sent from my CM9ICS-D3 using XDA App

It works until I touch the screen and try to skip beginning videos/animations

1.1 works okay a bit hard to control but still fun. I have not tried 1.2 as of yet rumor is it runs on all devices but idk

I bought it from the market today. It's on sale for the holidays at $2.99. Seems to be working fine. When I first installed, it froze during the opening video and I had to do a battery pull. But now it's working great.
I just wish they had a keyboard shortcut to punch/shoot. But using W to accelerate and the arrow keys make it very playable.

Im happy that I saw the copy I bought on the first day back in my "not installed" list.. I hated using the copy I downloaded. I want the updates immediately!
Still have giant crazy block trees, but it runs better now

Oh man, used to love this game on the pc! Totally getting it!!
