[Q] Full Scale issue on GTab

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

9mm HD -Perfection achieved!

I wanted a game to take the advantage of the tegrq 2 chip in our systems. Saw 9mm by gameloft out there. After downloading 850mb of game data i started it and I was blown away! I cant compare it directly to gtq vice city or san andreas but i can say that it is like a hybrid in terms of graphics and the gameplay is similar to the max payne series pc. This is one game you cant go wrong! Please check out the screenshots in the market section. Highly recommended .5
stars!

It is a pretty good game so far. It plays great on our tab. I got it free when I bought Modern Combat 2.

Are you running a custom rom? I've got rooted stock, tried 9mm with and without Chainfire, and the game runs in redscale (looks just like grayscale but red to pink)

Nope, running rooted stock, no funky kernels or anything. No Chainfire either. And certainly no red hue...

I beat the game on my phone and I loved it so I bought it for my phone few days ago. First install I get the pink screen. Second install it worked great. I was running stock 3.1 rooted/stock kernel. Yesterday I installed 3.2 rooted and 3.7 UV OC kernel and now 9MM kicks me out after the logo intro. N.O.V.A. does the same thing since I had 3.1 installed. So yeah I don't know what's going on with Gameloft but they need to up their game or something. All of my other games run no matter what..

Bought this game today but i cant download the full data for it, gets to about 680mb then quits. On restart it says wants to download additional 275mb of data but restarts around 550mb then quits again at 680-ish, round and round!
Any suggestions?

I can suggest that you download it from a wifi network.gamelofts swrvers are freaky!

Games....

While most games work I have a few that don't.
Asphalt 5 or 6 don't work... most likely a build. prop issue.
Heavy Gunner has an xy axis issue that is reported to be an ICS issue.
GTA III does work.
Has anyone moved the build.prop to get more games to install?

Not sure about build prop but I can say that Nova2 HD doesn't work (Gameloft sucks), Shadowgun force closes sometimes. Dead Space, Temple Run, Angry Birds Space and N64 emulator all work well.

Plants vs Zombies doesn't work on my Tab 2 7.0

it works on mine...try to download the latest version, try the HD version, i'm using it.

GTAIII only barely works for me. It ends up freezing the controls, so if I was running, he just keeps running as I am still touching the controls. The controls also seem to lag greatly causing me to get my butt kicked when I am trying to mug people.

i'm considering buying this tab and games if definatly an interest. Was wondering has anyone tried a PSemulator on the tab? Wonder how that would play with something like say, FF7 also curious how Mini Motor Racing plays on the tab.

I removed it and re-installed it. Still doesn't work. It downloads the levels, goes to the PopCap screen then hangs forever, sometimes it makes it to the next screen (Loading...), then hangs.
I can't find a HD version, just the regular pay for version. It works just fine on my Atrix 2.

Real Racing 2 doesn't work. It installs but gets a server error 5002 when launched. I bought the Tab just for this awesome game!

I got a bunch of Gameloft games to work, by changing the build.prop to Galaxy Nexus. Same GPU as our tab, and high resolution, so the games should be optimized. Unzip this and overwrite the one inside /system/
Make a backup first, this might cause problems down the line.
EDIT: Yeah this kills sound. So, after you change your build.prop, download the games, install the data and restore your backed up build.prop. Sound will work again. The games will also still work.
There is an app on the market called "Device Spoofer" that makes this process easier.

That message you got is called a "force close" Some apps do this s8metimes especially if there are many apps fighting for Ram, thats when you need the multirasking butt8n, which looks like 2 frames with an overlap, selecting "Remove all" will clear up Ram.
Thats all i really know, feel free to PM me for further issues.

hi!
PvZ works great for me, I am using version 1.3.16 with included data files to sd card.
however, it is always asking for network, just for starting the app.

GTA 3 work fine for me CM 10/1 and aopk oc kernel :good:

do you guys experience any lag in games on custom or official firmware and which firmware is best for gaming? I will get gtab 2 7.0 in few days so I thought it would be good to ask.

[Q] chainfire 3d not working on my galaxy y

hi guys, i rooted my galaxy y and installed chainfire 3d and set it up then i tried antutu benchmark and i got just a few points more like this, then i tried subway surfers that ran with lag, and with chainfire it was the same, why isnt chainfire 3d working for me? i read somewhere that i need to download an app that will make idk what swap and take memory from my sd card if its fast enough and use it as ram, i want more info on this as i cant find too much about it. sorry for my crappy english, its almost time to sleep for me and my computer gave me a big headache, so what can i do about chainfire 3d?

have u installed the plu ins?

I did,tried all of them with no result
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app

the problem is that im not a gamer,so you have to wait for answers from other user,sorry.in normal case chainfire is not all what you need to run,a good kernel is required to i think.but im not sure.

well,in my experience,subway surfers will always lag,whether with cf3d or not,the modded one or not

To answer both questions
Yes you can use chainfire 3d in stock rom
no you won't be able to play HD games - the galaxy y just isn't powerful enough - if you want to play HD games buy a phone that has 1gb ram qualcom snapdragon processor & is armv7

But Ive search in Google there are several armv6(not armv7)Games that runs in other low-end devices using Chainfire3d but totally lags...but is playable.

But thnx for reply Sir..I really understand what youre pointing...
All I want is to play HD games in my sisters Galaxy Y.So ill try some armv6(not armv7)

[Q] Games like Temple Run,Temple Run 2,GTA Vice City Lags [Minor Lags[

Hello Everybody,
Well,I guess its over a month since I've bought my smartphone [Grand 2] but I am noticing very minor lags on even low end games.
Well,Grand 2 is well equipped with quite good specifications but Still games like Temple run,Temple run 2,GTA Vice City is lagging.Though,The lags are very minor.Touch is responsive but there's a lil lag in Graphics rendering.
I don't why its happening so,
I tried almost each and everything- Disabled Bloatwares [NO ROOT],Disable S Voice,No widgets at Home Screen,Tried clearing RAM before each gameplay,Changed Windows and Animation scales to "OFF" in Developers Settings but still there no such effect.
I also own a Nexus 7 but I am able to play each and every game without any lag even GTA SAN and GTA VC.
I don't know what's the issue with this Samsung Galaxy Grand 2.
Can anyone please help me out of this trouble?
I am really regretting right now that Why I am bought this smartphone.
Thank you!!

Thats weird. I've been playing a lot of Low-end as well as High-end games on Grand 2 and Rarely experience any lags.
I'm not really sure if this works :fingers-crossed: but you can try downloading Clean Master from the play store. It provides a Game booster feature which says that it'll speed up your games by up to 25%. You can add a game booster shortcut folder on your homescreen and whenever you start games from this folder, it'll speed em up.

I am sure you would have checked it but still, did you bychance have the power saving mode on?

update to the latest version this lag had been fixed. and while playing game disabled power saving mode ,close all the running apps and do force stop and clear ram and sometimes phone memory get fulled also caused phone slow so see ur internal memory as well.

Do you mean, HD games want to play well & smooth on midrange smartphone?
Just try to disable unwanted apps like samsung apps etc...
In my experience, maintain ram free above 500mb. Now i can able to play games smooth & without more lag.
