Spiderman Mayhem Fix/Work around

Does anyone else have the problem of Spiderman Mayhem freezing everytime you try to start the Mystery Infection Invades City level?
*Play your copy of Spiderman up until the part where it starts freezing.
*Backup your sd card copy if you want to save it for when or if Gameloft ever fixes Spiderman.
*Unzip download below and replace your Spiderman file inside the Gameloft folder on your SD card with new file.
*Say yes when it asks to replace.
*Turn on your WI-FI and connect to a WI-FI network.
*Launch your Spiderman Mayhem Game.
*When it says it needs to download more data, say YES.
*When its done, play the game.
This allows you to bypasses the Mystery Infection level and starts you on the next level.
You will not be able to play Mystery Infection (Octorama) level on the tab EVER!! Or at least until Gameloft fixes the game. There is something wrong with all the Doc Oc. levels. Unfortunately, you will not be able to fight Doc Oc, either. Drag I know.
AGAIN, there is something wrong with all the Doc Oc. levels. During no point, on any save location along this level, have I been able to load it on my tab.
So I passed it for you, and now you can "finish" this awsome game.
Also, another unfortunate.... this is MY game save progress. MY upgrades, and all that.
Bummer.
Well now you can continue to play this awsome game and also play with the black suit! Its great, but you still have to earn it.
Also, when you beat the game and get the suit and start the game again, DO NOT PLAY THE MYSTERY INFECTION LEVEL, Also known as OCTO-RAMA!!!, it will freeze up again like your game is now, just pick the next level.
I know this isn't the best workaround, but at least its something......
Download this here: http://www.4shared.com/file/3tMMpjQl/Spiderman.html
ENJOY!!!
Please let my know if there are any issues, or if someone can help isolate the files needed to bypass but so players can keep their stats.
*This does not include the game, buy your own.....

Are you using the galaxy tab version?

spiderman mayhem
Yes i am using the game for the tab that was actually purchased through gameloft on my tab. It is 130 here. I am gonna sleep and post the fix/workaroind tom. Play the game up till the freeze on mystery infection level. This fix will alow you to skip that part and continue on with the game. I am playing right now with the venom suit its awsome. Just needed to know that there is alittle interest before I go through the work of posting it. Your power ups might change, and be replased by mine, but mine are almost maxed out.
UPDATE: So I played back around back up to the Mystery Infection level in the venom suit. It froze again. The level is called something like Octorama or something. Just dont select this once i post the work around, until we can figure out why this happens on this level.

I would like to see this fix

Its not a fix, but a way to get to the next point and finish the game. Lets face it, this game is awesome and needs to be played, and Gameloft is not doing anything to fix it. They still sell the broken game though.

Sorry about the wait guys, I returned from work today and my comp and tab are refusing to communicate. Since I have to transfer large files from my internal SD to comp and back a few times to create the workaround, I need to fix this first.

I also had the same problem, really frustrating. I contacted their support and this is the response I got.
Hi
I have a samsung galaxy tab and trying to play spiderman hd. When I try to play level 6 the game crashes. I can manually select level 1-5 and it plays fine but level 6 always causes force close.
Thanks

Hi
I have already done that and the problem persists.
A simple google search will show that there are a few people with this exact problem. ie: crashes on level 6 with samsung galaxy tab.
Please stop giving me the run around and forward this issue to the developers so they can begin debugging and release a fix. This is not the first device this is happening on.
If the developers need some more info like crash logs let me know. I'm not a developer but I can follow instructions and copy log files if needed.
Hello
Thank you for bringing this case to our attention. We're sorry to learn of your difficulties. It seems that your application has a bug. We will investigate this case, but it might take a while to fix the problem.

We apologize for this inconvenience and would like to offer you another game for free as a replacement. Please name a game you'd like to get.
To see games selection, please go to our site by entering Gameloft.com into the search engine of your (WAP) browser directly on your phone.
I would love to see this fixed or at least be able to play the game till the end.
Thanks

See the problem is that gameloft is actively selling a game they know doesnt work.

Typical Gameloft. They sold games for the Desire eventhough they knew it wasn't capable of true multi touch. I emailed them and they stated they were aware of this issue before they even ported the game to the device. But they claimed it was so Desire users 'could enjoy the game's
How can you enjoy a game if you can't play it? They are ridiculous.

Typical money hungry snotts. Why release it for the tab if it was ment for the deire? Douchebags

Thank you very much. It works now.
Once I replaced my files with yours and did the wi-fi update, I started the game and continue my game and it start me out at the level where there are green goblin men which I have not seen before.
My son got to the that "infected level" and it force close and had no idea why. He is only 4 and a half years old but he is pretty good at this Spiderman game. I just told him that he has reached the end of the game when it force closes.
Now he will be able to play the game again but I guess I have to tell him that I was wrong about him finishing the game.
Anyway, thanks for the fix.

Your welcome. I wish everyone could fight doc oc but atleast there is new life breathed into the game. Doc oc was the second to last level and you are now on the last level. Once you beat the game, go to choose level. Then choose the little t shirt on the uper left. There is your venom suit! Its like a new game with the black suit. Dont forget to skip the level where it froze when you come back around.

Is this thread still wanted? or can I take this off of my 4shared?

Woah.. Don't remove it yet! I thought my data got corrupted and I reinstalled the whole game, starting from scratch.
At least now I know it is a software issue!

Cool. No worries. Just checking. And also i know tbat threads get lost, and this brought it back up to the top.

Modern combat 2... Force close!... I have a fix!!!

This is a tip i just found for modern combat 2 on the xperia play.., this is using a genuine copy of modern combat 2 on a stock xperia play ...
I bought the game this morning went to play it and all i got was FORCE CLOSE (process com.gameloft.android.GAND.GloftBPHP.ML) GRRRRRRR! So after trawling through google for 30mins i found some dude who had a way to get it working...
1..open the game with pad slid in (in the apps menu) it might work with the pad slid out too
2.. then youll get force close blah blah blah...click close or ok or whatever
3.. now hold on your home key so recent apps appear on screen
4.. now click modern combat 2 in recent apps and it works!!!
hope this helps somebody cos i was pissed off when mine didnt work, thanks goto some dude on a random forum i tripped up on.
if this is old news delete this thread BUT if its useful to ya, gimme a HELL YEAH!!!

Hell yeah ? !

hell yeah? its a pretty inexcusable workaround to a problem that shouldn't exist. after paying for something that was supposed to be tailor made to my device i expect it to work properly without having to resort to some bogus workaround.
plan to be more careful when purchasing gameloft games in the future because the response they gave me was more of the same, and that is just weak IMHO.

All mine work just fine

yeah i agree it should work without the need of this, but itll do for me till they have a proper fix, maybe theyll patch the game. it might be my end because i installed some bogus versions of the game first that i later uninstalled but maybe they might have upset it abit lol...
anyway man just done 30mins multiplayer on capture the flag with about 8-10 in the server and was surprised how good it was, oh i had to register via my laptop with gameloft live cos trying to register in the game caused FORCE CLOSE again, but once registered u can log in and it all works good
see u on the battlefield soldiers ill stab u all in the boob

I had this problem, i kicked up a fuss and gameloft gave me an extra game for free!

I had the same problem and this does works (HI5!) however I agree that its not acceptable on the part of Gameloft. This game was advertised on this device and it was in the Xperia Play app, clearly its just a minor bug that could have caused havoc, and I have also told Gameloft what I think (hopefully a free game!).
Hopefully I will see you guys playing online.

But good idea for posting it here it will get seen more and be more helpful to people having this problem.
I noticed it force closes when the os does something like say you press the home button it will force close and you will have to start again from your last save which is annoying. This problem must be down to a conflict with the SE software as problems still exist with phone rooted and debranded.

Auauaua, great!!!!
Working on motorola Xoom now!

This is great. I had no idea.

works for me. Pressed the thanks button. Gameloft said that they will give me a free game as they don't know how to fix it.

Worked for me too!

Same problem on SGS2!
I was having the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S2 and (much to my surprise!) this work around actually WORKS!
Just debating whether to accept the free game they've offered me and carry on playing! Its really bad that Gameloft are allowing this to happen, so I wont feel too bad.

What's the debate? Just pick the free game and play the two. The cost for Gameloft to send you a link to another game is 0: plus, the glitch is their fault in the first place, and they seem lazy to correct it. If they're too lazy to give you proper service, why should you get restless about exploiting their policies?

Hahah i discovered this by myself thinking that I had solved a worldwide issue I searched for forums to announce my discovery and tell everyone to get a free game as well
Unfortunately you beat me to it but I still suggest everyone get a free game for their **** up on not being able to code properly for fking android.

This happens to a lot of my Gameloft games.

I've sent Gameloft an email about this, but never got a reply

sorry but maybe someone can help me.

so I need to go to oklahoma this week and will have lots of down time. Installed gamboid through the direct apk off the internt (free version not full) and any time I load a from it crashes back to my home screen on my iconia. I have the same issue with snesex. Anyone have a similar issue or can help is great. Love the forums you guys do a great job. My vibrant is super fast n super sexy thanks to all the hard work of the devs. I'd love to contribute more but I am such a noob and crash n brick things more than I get things to work.
Thnx again for any help
Nooby out

I have been using yongzh's emulators and they work great on my Iconia.

As an extra plus the Wiimote integration works great.

[Q] Hows the development here?

I'm fishing around and trying to figure out if i want this Kindle Fire which i would root right away so i can use android market. Or if i should go for Toshiba Thrive, Sony Tablet S, or ASUS EEE HD Transformer. I kind of don't want to spend a lot of money but if anyone can answer me a few questions that would be awesome.
I mainly wanna use my University of Phoenix app, but for free time i read and play games. I wanna know if Dungeon Defenders, Order & Chaos, GTA III work on the kindle fire and is it playable? I am alright if it lags a little but enough to play?

Okay, so quite a few things here!
If you want a tablet that is good value for money and that can do all the things you have stated above, the Kindle Fire is definately the best option.
- The University of Phoenix App is compatible with the Kindle Fire
-All of the above games work perfectly without lag (actually, dungeon defenders IDK)
GTA 3 is amazing, and works perfectly on full graphics.
Hope this helps!

Thank you for the reply! I think will go with the kindle fire. I bought one for my mother for christmas and i like it, she wont let me use it though. As long as i know those apps i use a lot work, im happy.
By anychance has anyone got the sims free play working on the fire? I hear it has major issues with a lot of divices.

Counter Strike : Source ported to Android(Proof of concept, need more work)

Hi everyone,
After suffering a failure with portal 2(snif), I decided to try another game.
I successfully launch Counter Strike : Source on the Shield Tablet.
This is a proof of concept so there is a lots of bugs, thank you for your comprehension.
Edit2: First video(uncut), game at 1:18
First screen
Edit : Wrong section xD due to the excitation, Shield instead of Shield Tablet but it's the same think, it works on both x)

More screens from game, work in progress
Logo Counter Strike fixed

Bump. Video added.

First post update.

Congrats, that is very cool!!! great to see some development for the shield.

Hello! It seems that you, I, and @legofan623 are the only ones interested in this type of thing. If you want, I can give you a few pointers to help you overcome many issues.
Now, I don't know the specifics of CS:S, but I know Portal 2 will not run on an outdated engine (meaning that only NVIDIA would be able to make it work).
To get rid of those "ERROR" textures, you need to go through the games files and un-capitalize the name of every file you see. On larger games, this would require using a bulk-renaming tool. If you want me to help you out with this at all, just let me know.
I just watched from the video and I'm sorry to say that I don't think this is going to work. It is unlikely that multiplayer or weapons would be possible using an older client.

CSS is a mod of Half Life 2 so the game engine is really near.
For Portal 2, i did not do too many illusions x).
No worry about the error textures, that's my fault and i really know how fix that(by the way already fixed the first day). No need a bulk renaming tool i find a other way for launch larger games.
Don't be sorry, the only missing is the overlay which is start the game, i need rewrite some lib.

Will this ever be finished? Just asking.

Progress?
Hey matyas69 I'm a developer and am very interested in this project. I was wondering how you went about doing it. Also what is the progress on it. And do you need any help. Me and a friend have been interested in porting some source games to shield for a while and would be more than happy to help you out on this project. I really want to see this happen
