I also saw people who play chalk ball, so i downloaded it from getjar market, but it force closed it?
Any tips?

Download chainfire3d app from market. Download certain plugins i don't know the names of them but i think they will be specified in the chainfire3d apps description on the market. Then install the plugins on chainfire3d and choose the qualcomm plugin.

you don't need chainfire to play paradise island,never played chalkball. I play both my country and rock the vegas smootly ( made by the same developers and same graphics and concept) without it. I think i have tried paradise island, think i got the white tectures on small parts (more than 3/4 was visible) but just thought it was the app version so maybe try a different version.

OK i have these plugins and cf3d, but i didnt installed it.

Maybe the games can't recognise the tablet because of the CM7. I know some people who play games on stock rom. Good games I mean, like deadspace.

Asphalt 6 (Gameloft) won't even show up for me in the market.

Asphalt 6 didn't show up for me in the Android Market, but there was a separate Kindle version on sale in the Amazon appstore for $0.10 the same day it was on sale on the Android store so I got it from there.
Note: I am using the stock software, NOT CM7.

im trying to play modern combat 2/3 and it said it does not support my device i was reading on another thread that they got chainfire to work on the kindle not to sure what it does but what i did understand that it helps with playing some games that might not support the device you are using what do you guys think? also i have a Motorola Triumph and a dev got the build.prop from HTC thunderbolt so the market reconized it as a thunderbolt there for being able to play many many for.games could something like that help us out?

[Q] [Solved] Anyway to run Backstab HD on MS2?

Hi all
So, I bought this game since the market showed it compatible from my computer. I did not launch it in the refund time (15 mins), but then when I started it it said that it is not compatible with my phone, please ask for refund.
It works for Galaxy S which also has a PowerVR GPU (SGX540 and we have SBX530) and a similar CPU.
Can this be made to somehow work on MS2?? changing build.prop or something?
I think it should run okay (if not great) since I also bought Modern Combat 3 and it runs fine and has no such compatibility issue. I think MC3 should be more graphic intensive than Backstab HD (which is part of the reason I did not test it immediately after downloading and assumed it would run okay).

Download Chainfire 3D and emulate the gpu id. There are tons of tutorials on the internet showing how to use it.
Works for any game that supposedly only works on Tegra or any other chipset. Pure gimmick from the developers.

Thanks. Will give it a try.

I went out and bought the pro version of chainfire 3d and it hasn't been useful yet. I've got the qualcomm, nvidia and powerVR plugins but none have gotten it to launch. Tried all various setting and no dice. If you can get it to work I'd be very interested to know how
some guys have videos up on youtube of it working - several games infact, that are otherwise apparently incompatible. They are all spanish (or something?) though so I'm not sure how they managed it.

I actually don't have the Pro version. I was trying with the free one. There is one step I saw in a video on youtube that is not possible on the free version i.e. "Fix market settings".
After selecting, one of the drivers, say nVidia, you need to click on "fix market settings" and then try some nVidia tegra game from market.
Can you try it out and let me know if it works for you? Coz only then I'll go and buy the Pro version.

Okay. I have gotten past the 'Compatibility Screen'. I changed the build.prop to match to Droid X.
Code:
ro.product.model=DROIDX
ro.product.brand=verizon
ro.product.name=shadow_vzw
ro.product.device=cdma_shadow
ro.product.board=shadow
First just try changing the model as follows. If that does not work try the above.
Code:
ro.product.model=DROIDX
You can change these in build.prop using 'root browser' or 'root explorer'. After this, I cleared the data and cache of 'Market' app as well as Backstab HD from 'Manage apps'.
Funny thing is that the game is compatible with Droid X but not with Milestone 2 when both have exactly same CPU, GPU and chipset. I found out from Gameloft's website that the game is compatible with Droid X, so tried this out.
It is currently downloading data. I'll let you know if it runs fine.
I don't think Chainfire 3D would be needed for this game since we have PowerVr GPU and so does Droid X. May be for some Tegra devices we would need to use Chainfire 3D and some build.prop related with some tegra device.
Edit: It worked after the download. I can play it fine. I can even revert to original build.prop after that.

I bought chainfire when Backstab was in the 10c sale and i was desperate to buy it so cheap. Doing the market fix didn't do jack. It still wouldn't show for any driver.
So I then put it on my gf's galaxy s2 and still, no dice. I'm pretty sure it would have shown up by default on stock rom sgs2, but I put miui on it and half the market vanished.. woo
Moral of the story, I figured the few bucks I was paying for chainfire 3d pro would save me some money getting backstab cheap, but it failed. Had to install cm7 to have it show up on the market.
The only time it's been any use was when I only had free, and it got shadowgun to occasionally load. Then a week later they patched it for PowerVR anyway

This is awesome news! I know what I'll be doing when I get my ms2 back
Thanks!

You dont have to get chainfire. What I do when I want a game from Gameloft and it's not compatible with my MS2 is in the purchase screen, on Gloft's site, pick another compatible phone. It works everytime. They send an email with the apk file and i install it on my Milestone 2. No chainfire needed.

That's what I said. I was not talking about purchasing or downloading the apk but downloading the SD files.

There is a check after installation of the apk and before downloading the files when it gives an error saying something like "This game is not compatible with your phone". To by-pass that error, I did that thing with the build.prop
May be there might be another way too. This worked for me.

Don't know about you guys, but I absolutely refuse to by off the gameloft site. It limits to 1 device and it's only a 3 year purchase. wtf :| stingey!

Yes you can!
I have the wifi model (GT6800) and I installed Chainfire 3D and also downloaded 3 plugins from the internet ang now I can play Nvidia and gameloft games no problems.
There is a thread on XDA about how to install then - it was very easy to do just follow the instructions in the thread.

I tried installing from the market, but it doesn't show up in my app drawer, even though it said it installed successfully. Anyone else run into this?

Your 7.7 needs to be rooted!
Try uninstalling it and install again, I have the piad version and had no problems with it installing and using it.

my first try to enter game development: Booster Bear Jump

Hi Friends,
i was always wondering how the play store actually behaves, especially with a new app that is not yet well known. For that i made a game based on libGdx. Since a bit more than a week the game is released and i'm really happy about that!
Mostly all the graphics in the game are handmade, using Blender and Gimp (besides the boundaries and the background all items are produced using Blender. I'm a real fan of Blender, as it's so powerful and still free. Surely the best 3D-Modeling software out there.)
Some information about the game:
Game name: "Booster Bear Jump"
Package name: "at.anagram.boosterbear.android"
I were honored if you guys would play it and provide your valuable feedback.
Thanks

I will give it a try now, found it on Google Play.
---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------
It's a nice game! I definitely see potential with it. One problem though, as soon as I lose all my lives, I get an error saying "Unfortunately , Booster Bear Jump has stopped". It boots me out the game.

hmm, that actually shouldn't happen. i also haven't been informed that this has happened to any of my users until now.
maybe i'll get a report through playstore (which is updated daily), currently i haven't received any report that something has gone wrong.
i actually took care that everything is working (also if you receive a call during the game or quit via the home button). additionally no cpu is consumed during this time (this was not always true)
what kind of device are you using?

I have played the game but I don't see any trouble as been reported by "TheGTS"
I simply wonder how could you design such a game with Blender and Gimp only :fingers-crossed: !! You surely posses some talent man
Why don't you get into some big App developing challenge?
You can definitely come out with some prize in your hands.... I have heard of Samsung's Smart App Challenge which was conveyed last year too and it is still going on ... Why don't you try your hands their too ??
I would love to see the "Booster Bear Jump" utilizing the Samsung Chord ... You can know more about the Samsung Chord on their website : http://developer.samsung.com/chord

This is really strange, unfortunately none of my friends is using a Galaxy S3, so i can't really check if this is happening on all Galaxy S3 devices. If one of you guys own a Galaxy S3 please try the game and tell me, if the same thing happens to you.
As i'm not able to reproduce it, i fear i'll not be able to fix it (i have seen the game running on a lot of different devices, but none of it suffers from this problem.)
I'll surely test it, if i find a S3!

thx! nice to hear that!
i'll have a look at samsung coords, even currently i'm planning on doing another kind of app (no game at the moment). To tell the truth, i fear a little entering the game market as it's pretty hard to compete with bigger companies - at least you need a team with a couple of persons (graphic designers, people writing texts! and hackers of course)
