Hi everyone,
I was wondering have all of you been using that "spare parts" to play games/apps in full scale on the Samsung Galaxy Tab? or is there any way to solve this issue? such as upgrading/changing firmware/custom roms? Advice needed.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
TabFans
As of now, that's the only option we have.

Spare parts works great for me. No issues at all.

teh ditto-ness...
Yup, I agreed.
After using spare parts, it does help me to play certain games in full screen such as:-
1. Modern Combat - Sandstorm
2. Gangstar
3. BIA2
4. Nova
5. Backbreaker
6. HomerunBattle
But, I'm not knowing why for some reasons it crashes other games as well such as:-
1. Ninja Rush
2. Shoot U!
3. MiniSquadron!
So, it was like i only have 1 choice either i choose to play these games and give up the other ones...or i choose this one and sacrifice the rest.
Have any of you been experiencing such problem?

For the Gameloft games, you should really be using the Tab specific HD versions anyway.

The "problem" here is not the Tab - it's the games themselves. The proper solution would be to ask the developers to code their games up so that they are not so resolution dependent.

If everyone coded to Google's recommendations we wouldn't even have this issue. Google need to be a tad more strict on the apps they allow into the market. Just my 2 insignificant-monetary-units
Yeah using spare parts is hit and miss. While I found it helped games out it really hurt others. Mini squadron. Gem miner will work until you actually start the level and then the screen goes white. In duck hunter the touch response is way off .
TheGrammarFreak is totally right tho its all up to the dev's, but then again not all devs had tablets in mind when they were developing so you cant really blame them either. But at this point any reputable dev SHOULD be updating their apps to scale properly with the SGT.
It was becuase some of the apps dont work with spare parts that I dont use it and just put comments on all the apps that dont scale correctly asking them to please update it. Many have been updated, many have not.
I installed the app but then i had some problems with the scaling with the ebook reader, the margins were off while reading a book... so Im not using it anymore

What games are you finding that are better on a Tablet than on a Phone?
I downloaded Dungeon Defenders. The game is optimized for Tegra Chips. You should give it a try. Awesome graphics.
What is your favorite?
Alchemy is definitely better on a tablet over a phone.
Do you know any driving games that work on Elocity?
Thanks

Bought it on my evo, should still like to know why I couldn't find it on the a7 though.
I was trying to reply to the person who couldn't figure out how to install Angry Birds.
But while I'm here...
I love: Fruit Ninja, Angry Birds, Paper Toss, Pinball Deluxe, Untangle Space Out, aTilt 3D Labyrinth, Ancient Frog, Slots Royale, Bubble Blast, Jewels... (yeah, I'm a chick)...etc.
I'm having a blast and spending way too much time playing games!

You know there's a little tab on the right hand-middle of the desktop. You should be able to click that and your app should be there to click and go. Perhaps you downloaded but the system is still waiting for your instruction to install (happens with some apps)...then you should ckick on settings button, check notifications...if it requires you to click on install, do it. I've customized my A7 a lot so it's hard to remember just how it is from stock. If these options don't work, maybe someone else can help you.
Don't get too frustrated. This is a fantastic device...you have to get to know it and make it work for you.

I would say 90% I've tried have worked so far. Some have slight graphical problems like an image stopping a few pixels from the edge of the screen since the designers didn't have to worry about our screen size.
Oh and Samurai II works and is/looks completely amazing.
Apps for different resolutions will still work, just may be stretched or distorted.
PewPew on the market works in native res.

Modern combat 2 works but does have some graphic problems where bars which are supposed to span the screen at times don't fit the screen. Also the blood which indicates your health only covers 90% of the screen. But it shouldn't affect gameplay.
hey i was wondering if can do this....there are sites and forums that give us the apk and sd card data files for a specific phone....all those phones have 480x800 resolution....and there is a software called lcd density changer which changes the resolution of the phone....it either increases or decreases the resolution....
so if i download and install these files and lower the resolution of my phone will i be able to play normally....that is i bring down the resolution to the desired one and play....

dead space
temple run brave
and trying back stab 3d.
i hope an one cud get desrt winds ported to our phone.i guess its for snapdragon processors only
I'm going to shut this thread down, because APK sharing will inevitably lead to warez on the forums. If you find a great game, then just create a thread about the game with a link to the Play Store. Make sure to show what you like about the game.
So i thought it would be a good idea to create a thread in order to allow Desire HD users to share their experiences with Chainfire3D and what apps do or don't work.
The plugin used is listed on the left of the game.
WORKING
[nvidia]Fruit Ninja THD - runs great
[nvidia]Hardwood Solitaire - a little laggy in menus, gameplay is fine
[nvidia]Riptide - a little laggy during gameplay, but playable. Character's graphic a little messed up.
[nvidia]Samuria II: Vengeance - perfect, apart from some menu glitches. Press home and return for temp fix
[none]Plants vs. Zombies HD - works perfect, but buttons very small because tablet optimized
[nvidia]Pinball HD for Tegra - works perfect
[nvidia]My First TRAINZ Set - works but very slow - unplayable.
[nvidia]Backbreaker - works but animations broken
NOT WORKING
Big Bang Racing
Monster Madness
Any other games you have tried with Chainfire? I've been curious to know how Aftermath XHD plays on the Desire HD. Anyone tried that?
I'll try keep this post updated.

yeah i get that too. No big deal really.
Well,given the fact that,being underage,I have no credit card,I only tried Dungeon Defenders THD and it won't play.It instantly closes when I try to launch it.
Just to make sure,you are using the Nvidia plugin,aren't you Beaver?
Big bang racing doesn't work. Just starts up with a screen about device not meeting minimum hardware requirements, seems to be the only game so far that doesn't work.

Yeah using the Nvidia plugin. Maybe try it without the plugin? Or try playing around with the graphic settings in the Chainfire app.
I think, contrary to ethics and all that, the best thing to do is actually pirate a game, see if it works, then buy it if it works. Especially if it's not on this list.
If you buy a game (such as Doktaphex presumably did with Big Bang Racing) and find it doesn't work, you've essentially wasted money on a game that doesn't work.
I know some people will take this the wrong way, but I firmly believe it's the best way to do it.

I tried that a week or so back. It worked without even using Chainfire. But its kind of useless because its optimized for tablets so all the buttons are so small.
Aftermath XHD works fine on the DHD... runs smoothly !

Yep, works perfectly. Thank you so much, now to play games nvidia. Greetings
Well,I can confirm that Dungeon Defenders works,just not the Tegra edition.When you launch it first time with the Tegra plugin,it downloads the Tegra files,but it cannot start the game itself.If you download the game with the Tegra plugin,then switch the plugin off and run it,it will download the Qualcomm files and run ok.Just a little choppy at times but whatever!
It's quite good in fact.I just got addicted!

Alright ill add them to the op when I get on my pc
omg thats awesome!!
My First TRAINZ Set is a pity, I wanted that game...
So my new SGS2 has ALL this graphical horsepower...is there anything that actually takes advantage of it? I haven't found any reviews of mobile games that really talk about graphics, so I thought I'd ask the xda users what you guys would suggest...
Galaxy on Fire 2 THD
Grave Defense HD is pretty awesome on GS II
Reptide GP. Galaxy on Fire 2. Or that Samurai game. All these are Tegra 2 optimized games, so they look great.
Non tegra games... Modern Combat 2, Grave defence HD, Battlehart...
I also impres my friends with old games running on emulators, like Zelda, Super Smash Bros, Final Fantasy, etc

There is a pretty long post about the differences between tegra games and non-tegra games. Tegra "optimized" games are simply using nvidia texture compression method
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but when I go to the android market and try to install a tegra game in my sgs2, it says the mobile is incompatible and doesn't allow the installation process to go through.
Is there a way to circumvent this?
Thanks for any tips.

With those of you having trouble getting/running GTA 3 on your Note, I also had trouble running it.....Until now...
Like many others the game is no longer available in the market place & even when attempting to purchase it online I get the message ''no devices/your device is not supported''
I had to do things the hard way by manually looking for and installing the GTA 3 apk file.
When this was complete things got worse. When attempting to install the game data via wifi I got the following message ''Data download authorization error. Is the time on your device set correctly?"
Regardless of what I tried to do the message would continue.
Once again I had to mess about looking for the data files for GTA 3 to manually run the game without the need to download it via wifi.
I then downloaded the game data & copied it to my android/data folder.
When launching the game you will still be prompted to update. If you decline it the game closes, if you accept you get the above error about the time zone.
What I had to do was to press the back button on the note. The screen would then go black and stay black.
Lastly I pushed the home button, I did not close the game but went to my home screen (game was still running in the taskbar) I then open my task bar and press GTA 3. Bam, it now works!
Anyone have any questions?
I have a fixed APK though... deleted all my files and am trying to download and reinstall, will let you know if it works at this time
What a releif I had no problem installing GTA3..
It may be of interest to some that it plays completely smoothly when clocked at 800MHz, and very slightly choppy but totally playable at 500MHz.
Also, the only games I think anybody needs are GTA3, and Zelda OoT and Majora's mask - both run smoothly with N64oid, though the latter is more demanding. I found that MM was not playable until I bought setCPU (rooted etc.), but interestingly I can play it completely smoothly when clocked at 1000MHz.
But PLEASE has anyone had success with PS1 or NDS emulators? I find that when starting an emulation, both just show the controls but fail to load a game :/
