[Q] Gameloft Let's Golf 3 HD and Asphault 6 Games don't work

I have CM7 2.3 ROM on my TMOUS HD2.
Every time I start Let's Golf 3 HD, I get the notification "Your Device is not compatible with this game. Please request a refund".
Is there any way to get this game working before I get the refund. I really like Let's Golf series and Let's Golf 2 working flawless. Is it because this game requires 3D display?
Asphault 6 crashes after the demo video and I can't get that to work as well. Any suggestion if you are running this game on your HTC Hd2!
Im not sure abt Lets Golf, but for Asphalt 6, it will definitely work. Did you download the correct version for your phone(for HTC Desire or Evo...etc)?...Ive tried it myself, but uninstalled it because it was slightly laggy.Its bearable lag,so its your choice. One more thing, is yours the android market version or...?
I tried both ways (Downloaded from Market and then partial download with Wi-Fi) and .APK download for Desire and copied Asphault6 folder to my SD card from a working handset. If you have already tried it and it was laggy then I'll probably stay around with Asphault6
I really like both these games on my friend's Samsung Galaxy SII so thought I'd also be able to play.
Can you try Let's Golf 3
Please find both .APK files if you want to give it a try
umm...i dont think you should post the apks here mate. Im not gonna give you any ideas and get into trouble,but the market version wont really work. Mine is not the market version. Hope you understand what im trying to say
what dpi you running the screen at?
I just bought it without any problems from the market. It's currently downloading levels so I'm waiting to see the performance on my phone. Oh... and for the posted APK's...? yeah... ibtl.
Hi, Is these working for any please?
Today i bought this for very low price from Good Market promotion, Market rejected first, I changed the device name as HTC Phone, could install then.
While opening it says your device is not compatible ask for refund and closes! :-(
Anyone could make it work and pass me how? lIke device name and DPI

App compatibility out the box

I have had my note 10.1 since xmas and have left it alone as far as rooting and roms go unlike my Note and Note 2, I have found a good few apps including games which will not work sometimes ones that the market says are compatible with the Note 10.1.
I find it strange that some apps will work on the smaller notes but not the 10.1 is due to it being a tablet design?
Any one else had any issues or has any who has upgraded to JB found that apps that didnt work now do?
I would love to now your thoughs.
I havent found anything incompatible. What are you having issues with?
Touch Detective was the last one i couldnt run?
All my apps work including many from SGS3.
jje
delete - Sorry misread. I'm not on jelly bean
Could someone try out Touch Detective it is free and on play store so i can see wether my issue is device specific?
I can't get Heroes of Order and Chaos for example and a couple more that I don't remember.
I tried to edit the device name in the build.prop but no success...
Edit: Play Store says that my phone (Nexus One) and tablet (8013) are compatible

I also could not get Heroes of order or Chaos to work but it works on my Note 2? Is it the processor?
Does any one know if other devices usse the same type of processor?

I think the GS3 international, Note 2 and Note 10.1 have the same GPU Mali 400.
My Nook reader did not work on 4.1.1 but does on 4.1.2, go figure.
Hopefuly when i upgrade to JB tonight it will solve some of my issues with apps.
As bigger screens and tablets become more common hopful JB being the latest os is more big screen friendly.
And yes i have looked into it and the note, note 2 and 10.1 all have Samsungs Exynos processor????

[Q] should I buy it ?

Hello guys
I want to buy the tab 4 t230 mainly for reading pdf files
is it a good tablet and how about its performance ? I don't want it to be all laggy
thanks for your help
I don't know about the 230, but I have the 330 model and reading PDF files, and any other sort of document is a overall good experience for me. One could make the argument that bigger is better, but for me having the 8" model in horizontal or even vertical layout has worked quite well when it came to looking at notes, editing documents or even reading textbooks for college lectures/classes. I haven't noticed any lag when it came to just looking at a file, only when it came to running graphics intensive games.
(Quick summary) I use the 8" tablet daily and love it. recently, I purchased two textbooks from the play store and reading them and other PDF files work perfectly. :good:
-still it's always good to browse around.
Update: Before I made the purchase on the 8" model I read around that if you have a little bit extra it was a good idea to buy the 8" model over the 7" cause of the different processors inside. So it's all about how much you're willing to spend.

Edit. I would not buy the 7...
I bought the 8 and the below is for the 8...sorry. I forgot to mention that.
The tab in itself is decent, but with samsung pushy BS Apps the tab is slower...
However, should you buy the tab >> Root device with Towel root >> Freeze / uninstall all bloatware >> Install nova launcher >> Disable animations system wide >> Move larger apps to SD >> Presto = You've got a good tab!
Samsung software is not needed whatsoever. You can get a huge performance advantage by removing bloatwares and providing near android stock performance with nova launcher and animations disabled.
srsly no, i am still unable to root it, for the same price i would suggest a nexus 7
I rooted it out of the box a night or two ago. Just got it.
Same here, root capabilities were available a few weeks to a month after it was available for purchase back in june. I bought my tablet back in May when it first came out. However, I would still agree that a nexus 7 would be a good purchase if you just want to use a tablet for reading PDFs. Actually the Nexus 7 2013 edition is on sale for $159 on Ebay. The Nexus is still Googles current-gen device as of now and has many accessories and what not available, while it took months before I could even buy a cheap case for this tablet ( Better cases and accessories are out now, just not a plethora made specifically for the Tab4).

What is your device model? My tab is the 8 inch one. The 8 and 10 have similar specs and processor whereas the 7" tab has a marvel based processor and thus is different methodology to root.
Also, Yes I did update to latest firmware on my tab. Opened the box, ran updates, and rooted all about 3 days ago.

thx for replying, mine is the 7 inch SM-T230, guess i will wait awhile
I do too know if I am speaking out of place, but can you return it and get the 8? Fr9. What is love ready Modders are having issues with the 7. The 8 and 10 are where it's at. I believe the 7 will always be sluggish.

yeah its a gift from the telephone company, if i get to pick i prolly will go with the 10 inch one, or the new sony z3tc
Ah, you might be out of luck until they can find a better root method for the marvel processor in your model..
Thiugh, reportedly if you go to the towel root thread it has worked for 7 inch users.

Fire hd10 9th gen everything but 1 app help

Got a brand new fire hd10 9th gen has the software it shipped with I didn’t do the OTA. Using fire toolbox that I got from xda thanks! I made all the mods I could and got play store set etc. got apps downloaded no big deal.
My problem is specific and strange to me. The app Jurassic world alive is important to the person this gift is for and google play states the app is incompatible with the device.
So I figured ok just side load no big deal I have a good apk of it from a good site and any time I attempt to side load it gets 3/4 through the install bar and abruptly changes to app not installed. No error message or anything else. Any ideas since I can’t root this and change the build prop to download it from the play store.
Thanks.

Hi - I got this device and then found out its only 32bit userspace - so 64bit cpu and kernel but essentially the OS is 32 bit - So some apps wont work - I guess I should have done more research - I wanted to use it for dolphin emulator but that's a no go for this reason - and also not hackable to put a custom rom on yet

Yea I got annoyed with it and found that none of the rootable fires were on sale so I’m returning it and went to buy a Lenovo m8 tablet instead since it was on sale for pretty much the same price and is true android plus I didn’t realize how much I wouldn’t like the 10 inch form factor

Understand - Think I will keep mine - I was also looking at Lenovo and Huawei 8" and 10" formats - Have a Ipega 9083s controller so i could do some retro gaming - PPSSPP works great for PSP games and is fast, also Call of Duty mobile plays fab at medium quality - so is a good fast tablet, just a shame that its not fully 64bit, or hackable (yet
£89 quid isn't a bad price after all for a 10" Octa-core tablet with full HD screen - especially after using Fire toolbox to remove all the amazon stuff - Steam Link/Xbox Game pass etc all work great.
I also have a Linx Windows 10 10" tablet from a few years ago - that i got Android 11 on thanks to the Bliss-OS guys - that was an Atom 64bit processor on a mainboard with a 32 bit bios which meant Windows 32 bit so this mish-mash of tech isn't anything new

Which Android version to play Tegra games

Hi! I wanted to know which is the best Android version, as of today, to be able to play Tegra games (Portal, and so on...)
I remember that, some months ago, the specific Android version had some performance problems and that there was a subsequent, faster Android for Switch, that did not support Tegra games... has the situation changed?
Thanks!
No answer, eh?
