Question about Roms and Gameloft games not working.

Does anyone know why anytime I flash a Rom besides my Stock Rom and CM7 that all of my Gameloft games stop functioning. Actually have yet to have any of the Roms functional with the Gameloft games. Not really the biggest fan of CM7 already have that on my G2 would like to use Sense but yea you can see the issue.

I ran into the same issue when i went to Evils HD ROM last weekend. I have not i deal why. I can flash the Nandroid and they worked perfectly.... but yea. Its a protected software that uses some sort of encryption key.

Good to know, know of any other roms other than CM7, Stock, MIUI that they function on?? Looking for a Sense Rom but so far been not working out too well on this device for Gameloft Games.
Edit: Oddly enough I got the games functioning by uninstalling them and restoring the games through APK Installer rather than using the normal MyBackup method. I am thinking there is a screw up somewhere in these Roms between MyBackup and Gameloft somehow. Shrug who knows but I did get it working on eViL's Rom.

If you switch to another ROM regardless of the style they won't work. I emailed gameloft. The only way to get it to work is redownload the game and start over
[sent via Cyanogen powered Android]

Actually, I had quite similar problem before. I found out one of the reason might not be ROM's fault. It might be the default dpi of 240 was changed to a different value for smaller fonts view.
Just use Root Explorer to check your default dpi on system/build.prop. Change it back to 240, restart and check the games. Since I don't change it anymore on my Royal Ginger 1.6, all HD Gameloft games worked like charms.

[Q] Playstation emulator feasible?

Hi all,
I was thinking about purchasing a nook color and having fun with roms and themes. I'm wondering though if anyone has tried a playstation emulator on one of these? Looks like this has the same specs as the Droid 2 and X so it seems possible. Could maybe use a controller over Bluetooth?
I'm also wondering what the "stock" market place is like. Is it possible to access the full market once your rooted?
Thanks in advance.

After overclocking to 1.1ghz running cyanogenmod 7, the playstation emulator works very smooth for me, and I use a wii classic controller over bluetooth. Not all games will run though.
On the stock rom you cant really do much, but once you're running a custom rom you can do pretty much anything.

this sounds pretty awsome

actually, i'm running stock rooted and psx4droid runs fine for me... playing super puzzle fighter and FFVII so far. just using the on-screen keys.

I'm running CM7 off of SD card OC'd to 1.1ghz with psx4droid app . Knockout Kings runs, but pretty choppy. Blood Omen Legacy of Kain runs perfect (weird choice I know but nostalgic for me).
Also running N64oid but for N64 games, at least for me, they don't run smooth enough to really play. Almost but not quite.
I'm not aware of having problems accessing the market place. Both Android and Amazon seem to work great for me.

CM7 v Stock

Hi all,
for the last couple of days i've been thinking about giving CM7 a try. i've only ever used stock based roms so far and just wanted to hear peoples thoughts on the comparisons between CM7 and stock SE roms and what sort of experiences people have had with CM7.
many thanks
tom

basically both are ok but if you want the most gamepad compatibility stick with the stock SE firmware as CM7 tends to have more issues

CM7 basically removes the playstation from your playstation phone, i've tried CM7 a few times, but always gone back to stock.

I really like cm7 but not being able to play ea games or gameloft games with touchpads on cm7 was a deal breaker for me.

Yeah thats the conclution i came too, on the other hand, if you don't game that much, CM7 is super fast and has some great features!

It's not that dramatic, you can keep playing emulators and many current games, without any issue. It's a bummer for Gameloft and EA games though.

i like stock more because touchpads are not fully working on cm7

thanks everyone, been reading thru some of the posts on the cm7 thread and people seem to have random glitches that, although they can also happen on stock, have swayed me towards sticking with stock firmwares. add to that the possibility that the touchpads will be iffy at best. again, thanks to everyone who took the time to reply and offer their views on the subject
tom
p.s. the leaked ics rom had nothing to do with what i decided on. honest guv

Interesting thread.
I was going to switch over to a custom rom but this has kind of put me off.
Is this just for CM7? (regarding controls)
I have this phone only because of the controls, but feel like I'm not getting the best out of it with the stock rom. What rom should I be looking at if any?
Thanks!

I got fed up with the amount of bloatware and things I never used running in the background, so I gave the FreeXperia PROJECT rom a go, so far I'm loving it.
The only issue is the touchpads BUT there are games that have that driver built in (Age of Zombies, THE DEAD: Chapter One), apart from GTA3 I've yet to find a game I like that uses them (Dead Space and Fifa not my cup of tea).
I mainly use FPse (touchpads not needed) and have truly fallen in love with my Play.
Each to there own though

I just got CM7 FXP054 fully working, and overclocked to 1.6GHz, on my r800x last night. The touchpads don't work on GTA III, but do work every other game I play. I'm loving it and I'm getting suprisingly great battery life. I still wish r800x users had more roms and kernels to choose from.

the touch pads in gta3, the left one changes the radio station and the right one moves your aiming when your zoomed in the sniper rifle, so they are pretty useless,would be nice if you could move the camera or look behind,maybe steer.
ive been thinking about flashing since i want to overclock to improve gta3 and just have a basic functions, never tried CM before, does doom kernel have working touchpads?

I tried GTA 3 while on CM7 and it didn't even recognise when the control pad was slid out thus forcing you to use on screen controls, may have been fixed in recent builds though, really hope that touchpads get fixed asap, as soon as they do, CM7 is my daily driver forever!

This is with FXP054
There are things about CM7 that I love: the non-sony themes throughout, customisation options built into the ROM, custom kernel (could NOT get custom kernel working on my stock ROM) AND MY BELOVED CRT LOCK ANIMATION
There were three issues for me though that stop me from using CM7:
1. Battery life is atrocious! I can actually see the battery percentage dropping during normal use, nothing out of the ordinary running and it just drains, from 15 minutes of facebook, 10 minutes of twitter, 1 hour of watching shows with Moboplayer the battery had 20% left from a full charge 4 hours ago. With stock ROM the battery will be about 65% after all that (daily routine)
2. Sound output just sucks. I plug the phone into my car stereo for my drive to/from work, no matter how much I play with the equaliser and all of the sound settings audio playback sounds bad. The bass is distorted and it's a lot quieter than stock ROM. I experienced this same sound output phenomenon with a different handset running CM7 so I think it's a CM issue
3. Automatic screen brightness doesn't seem to work at all

The only problem of these that I'm experiencing is the last one. The auto-brightness is all over the place. My battery life is a little bit less but not enough to bother me, and I'm guessing that's from my overclock.

I started using CyanogenMod7 in Febuary last year. When I got my Play, I messed around with Stock ROM, and while it was slick, bloatware free and fast, and I was impressed, it lacked CM's little tweaks I had to have. The dodgy touchpad support is a nuiscance, but a minor one.

Noone besides you is able to. I gave the ROM you claim works with these games a try, and it didn't work at all for me.
I choose CM7 over stock since I don't play any games that are broken on CM. Would be nice if GTAIII worked, but it doesn't work well with stock, so I can give up that ghost until Rockstar better supports our device.

My thoughts on CM7 :)

Hey guys!
Many users, every day are so sceptic about installing CM7 and are asking many many questions about it. My thought should answer some questions that you might ask.
I was so sceptic about installing CM7, i was like, fuuu the touchpad will not work but i like the features blablabla. First day (almost night), i got stuck at installing the zip. It wasnt download fail (i dl'ed for 3times, or so) btw. It says that "Installation has aborted" (was on doomkernel v14).. So i get to bed and said that i will finish it tommorow. The "install" problem was in kernel. After that probs i installed CM7 Official kernel that was in zip, still same error. But then i realized by googling that DooMLord has made special CM7 kernel for Xperia Play, so i dl'ed, flashed, installation GOT FINE and i got CM7. ITS AWESOME! You all must try it! You can choose themes, change lockscreen UI, got even PERFECT translation for Czech language (things like fastboot got translated too!).. After that i tried to install Dead Trigger, that game i play almost every time with Minecraft (yeah, MC and DT are the only games i play), and the touchpads worked well! No need to install fixes! Really awesome
Now i can enjoy games, CM7 and bootlogo that says "DROOOOOOOOOOOOOID"
Click thanks if i helped you!

Good review, but I'm pretty sure most people will go for CM9 instead.
Another review like this, but for CM9, would be more helpful for the new crowd.

Yeah, i recommend Gin2JellyBean which looks almost like Jelly Bean and its Sony based ROM = all games will have working touchpads etc...
+ There is an Jelly Bean theme for CM7 Theme chooser

Sounds interesting. Since many of us with unlocked bootloaders have stayed on GB due to game performance, does CM7 improve game performance further (for the games that do run)?
I sometimes use the FPSE OpenGL plugin where I can because the graphics are so nice (e.g. Tony Hawk's 2 runs mostly OK with full sound and without frameskip at 1.4GHz on any stock-based rom, but Tekken 3 + OpenGL without frameskip will only get to about 30fps). Is CM7 better still than that?
I realise I could flash it and help answer these questions but I can't play with my phone this week

Doesnt affect performance. Only app drawer is laggy (everyone has this animation lag btw). DL CM7 for Play from official site, then DL DooMLord kernel for CM7, flash the kernel, go to CWM, install zip, wait like 5mins, the bar will move!
When the phone says "DROID", enjoy and click thanks

True! When it installs, youll get "stock" theme but colour is changed to blue. But in CM there is an Theme Chooser, so you can choose the blue CyanBread theme or Stock green or others

Kindle "Tate" & OFFICIAL CyanogenMod 11.0 for the Kindle Fire HD 7"

Kindle "Tate" & OFFICIAL CyanogenMod 11.0 for the Kindle Fire HD 7"
Just wanted to post this for anyone looking to do this. I have the Tate Kindle Fire HD and as we all know there have been no updates to the OS and there probably will not be any. Most of the people here like to play with things to see how they work and see what they get away with. I'm no different.
Not being able to use all of the Android apps can be frustrating especially when there is an app that can play on your device but it's not on the Amazon app store yet. Every Kindle owner secretly dreams of being able to use the Google Play Store.
So I did what a lot of us have done and I rooted my Kindle Tate and installed the Google Play Store. I was checking out some apps and then I went to purchase Grand Theft Auto and I got a this version is not supported on your device warning. It would not let me purchase this app while rooted with the Google Play Store. Apparently the services that it checks for are not available on a rooted tablet. Plenty of other apps let me install them but I realized that the good apps all had hardware requirements.
After this happened I was thinking that rooting your Kindle Fire HD is just a waste of time if I'm limited to only the generic apps. Grand Theft Auto runs on my Kindle Fire HD from the Amazon app store just fine in case anyone is wondering.
So after seeing that rooting your Kindle Fire HD is really a waste of time if you're just going to put the Google Play Store on it. Especially for people that want everything. If you only want generic apps then you might as well just stay with Amazon. So that's what I was thinking. Then I said well maybe I can just install Android 4.4 with theCyanogenMod
So I got everything I needed and proceeded to put CyanogenMod 11.0 on my Kindle Fire Tate. First impressions I was like YEAH, this is hot. You could configure it and change the wallpaper and it just looked great. I was thinking that I definitely made a good decision and that I would be able to enjoy my Kindle Fire HD more.
Then after playing around with it for a while and trying lots of apps for it I started to realize that yeah it looks good but compared to the Generic Amazon OS it ran like crap. I could install Grand Theft Auto on my device once I put the CyanogenMod on my device but it ran like crap so I installed Magic 2014 on it, a game that I had played on this Kindle for many hours. It was choppy and laggy. You would press the screen and nothing would happen. It was playable but it was bad compared to playing on the Amazon OS. I tried to optimize it and spent at least 3 hours trying to get it to play games smoothly but it just wouldn't. I'm older also and you will notice right away that apps text size is smaller. You can increase the text size for the device in settings but it has no effect on the apps that you run. Text from apps I played on the Amazon OS was very small on Android 4.4. This may not be a big deal to younger people but to me it was noticeable. It was like the text for a phone instead of a tablet.
So then I restored my Kindle Fire HD and then wiped it to factory settings and re installed everything that I was using on the Android 4.4 and wow was it so much better. The Amazon OS while not pretty is fast and responsive compared to this. It felt like a nice tablet again.
I'm just writing this for the average joe. Don't waste your time with your Kindle Fire HD Tate by trying to make it better. Nothing you can do is going to get it how you want it. Just enjoy it for what it is. If you want to have a nice Android device running the latest software then just buy an Android Device that's running he latest software. If you buy a Kindle they you are just locked into what you spent.
My next tablet will be a device that just runs on Android.

hi
what build of cm11 did you use?
Im curious I have just installed snapshot m6 on my kindle but I haven't tested any games or apps at all.

I'm curious how you tried to adjust text size, I just would have tried tweaking the DPI (think it's labeled something like screen density in the build.prop) I believe you could boost your performance more with maromis kernel by setting the clock as high as it can go (not every device can handle the highest setting without locking up) and putting it in performance mode. Remember hashcode is still working on this ROM and has been for a while. Personally my kindle runs much faster on cm 11 than it did on stock, but I dont use it for gaming, I find most android games annoying once they bring in 3d games that look like ps1 era graphics. I prefer 2d games on android like beat hazard or angry birds.

I tried the build from the 29th and the 30th and it was the same with both builds. I also read through the development thread and I noticed that playing games was an issue.
If you're not playing games then it would probably be fine. All the normal apps ran good enough that I could live with the performance but I want my device to be able to do everything.

Yeah I think the issue is gaming. It ran fine while doing normal things. It was just when I put games on it that it had major problems. I know everyone doesn't play games but a lot of us do. It's a deal breaker for me. I just went into settings and made the text size large which was fine but in apps I noticed that the text was small. I mainly noticed this in Magic 2014. The text is already small in this game but running the Cyan-Mod it was unbearably small for me. Some people would probably be ok with it. I'm 48 and my eyes are not as good as they used to be.

This tablet only has a dual core processor, it would run games a lot faster with a quad core processor.

I have a KFHD7 and a Nexus 7 and the both game fine. My Kindle is the tablet I have set up for gaming using the HDMI cord and my six axis app because the Kindle natively maintains a charge while using HDMI. That means I game all day if I want. I play emulators, GTA, Modern Combat, Max Payne and a slew of other games. The Kindle games great and the majority of my games are from the Play Store. Sorry your luck is not so good with the Kindle. It's not as snappy as my Nexus 7 Flo but it's much faster with CM on it. My opinion.
Edit: About GTA from Amazon App Store - Some apps sold there are Kindle editions and are not completely compatible for other tablets. GTA from the Play Store works on my Kindle with CM on it while the one I bought from Amazon is not compatible with either my Nexus or Kindle because it's a Kindle app. When you put CM on your Kindle, your tablet is no longer recognized as a Kindle. I bought it because I got half coins back plus $20 buck worth of coins free.

After reading your post I felt compelled to reply, as my own experiences installing and using CM11 on the KFHD "Tate" have been nothing like what you have described. It is unfortunate that you were not able to get things working the way you wanted them to...that being said, the decision to switch from the stock Amazon ROM to CM11 has transformed my Kindle from a glorified e-reader/24 hour Amazon advertisement to a fast and reliable full-function Android tablet. I can say this without reservation. There is nothing that a Nexus 7 or other comparable tablet can do that I can't do just as well on my KFHD. 100% of the credit for that goes to CyanogenMod. Thanks to CM11, my KFHD is currently overclocked to 1728.0MHz max frequency, which is a 42% increase in clock speed over Amazon's kernel. The GPU is similarly overclocked. This has come, at least in my case, at no cost to stability. Prior to switching from the stock Amazon ROM I sideloaded Antutu benchmark. With the stock ROM installed the highest score I ever saw was around 9500. After switching to CM11, the same exact device managed a score of 15485. There is simply no comparison. CM11 > Amazon ROM. Any day of the week.

I think the guy ****ed up somewhere. Never had issues besides rooting. Not even gonna lie when I rooted my device was fine but when I tried to install boot loader it never completed properly but I got lucky and our worked. ROM's never had issues with device besides allowing my device to run faster. Amazon os seems good because their is literaly nothing but the app drawer and store on it.

What tool or kernel are you using for overclocking? I'm running CM11 M8 on my Tate, and the built-in performance settings only let me go to 1500MHz for the CPU and I don't see any GPU overclocking options.
Although I will say that even just running CM11 at 1500MHz seems substantially faster than running Amazon's stock at 1200MHz, including for games, so I don't know what OP is talking about. Granted, he was running a nightly from several weeks before the M8 snapshot, so he could have just been running into some bugs.
