But I can't seem to get the .APK file ! It seems to be doing some sort of device-detection and blocking any device not on their official list - http://twitter.com/gameloft/status/17517248621060096
Anyone else had any luck ? The last free title they offered worked just fine if you told the site you were using a Motorola Droid 2.
Last give away they had I just used my gf's evo to dl the apk then transfered it to my streak.

Well if anyone out there has access to a phone that can download it, it would be nice to share.......for xmas. Please??
Bump
To keep things on the legal up and up, if someone actually posted the .apk, they would have to remove it at the end of the day, or delete this thread.
Either use the above link from a pc or use a browser like Dolphin and set user agent to desktop. Job done!

Gameloft sms message link to download is http://gloft.co/b65158e5 You have to set your UAstring to Custom and type in Droid (I think).
Edit: ...not working. Keep getting "Sorry, but there are no available games for your mobile."
How do you set your UAstring to custom?
Well, I was setting custom useragent string using Firefox on my desktop and "about:config". My nexus one had an option for Android, Desktop, and Custom which let you type in anything you want. Maybe another day another dev...
For now, the first link on Google for HeroOfSparta.v3.1.2.apk seems to work.
Edit: SOB! "this is not an original copy of HEROOFSPARTA" Good one Gameloft! Can't even give your games away...
reinstall in airplane mode and start the game in airplane mode and it will work!good luck!
I forgot about the Airplane mode trick. Seems I had to do that for Dungeon Hunter as well... It worked (so far anyway). Asked me to download additional 67MB and had me choose WiFi or 3G.
Downloading...
Edit: it worked. Thanks!
I downloaded with HD2 running Desire rom then transferd it to Streak.
Had to download additional 97mb, works great
I'm getting a FC very early on in the game (around where you get to 2 guys to fight at once the first time). Looks like it could be a really fun game too. Reminds me of Conan on the 360. I LOVED THAT GAME!
Maybe I will try a reboot.
I played through to the 2nd level "The Keeper" and so far so good. A little jumpy, a little lag, probably can't play all the way through on Hard, but it works.
I installed from here and then let it download the rest from the gameloft site.... it worked like a charm.
Hope it works for you guys!

What exactly is it that is blocking certain apps on the market? I understand the general reason: That the market doesn't believe the NC is the compatible device. What I'm asking is, what developmentally needs to be changed (build.prop maybe?) to allow more market options. It's a pain to manually update all the sideloaded apps the market won't recognize, and the AppBrain method only works for those who were smart enough not to upgrade to the new market, since it disables the "Fast Web Installer". I'd love to look into this. I know changing build.prop directly to identify as a different device is supposed to mess up the drivers somehow; what else could be done?
Edited to add: Why is it that market enabler doesn't work on the Nook Color?
The market is based on your location. Developers can limit who can see their apps to download based on region. The market will only show apps working with your android version. If you are on android 2.1, it will not show android 2.2+ apps. In addition, older android market only show like 10 apps in portrait mode.
sorta off topic but has anyone tried these
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10683867&postcount=1
The Market looks at multiple things on your device. It ranges anywhere from the version of Android SDK you are using to the device's location and the device type.
I've found the best method to solving this problem is to use adb to pull a copy of your build.prop file and edit it.

Thank you for this. I can not wait to get home and try it. I recently switched to the 950 Mhz Kernel posted by Geniusdog254 (running very nicely btw) and Angry Birds quit showing up in the market.
I was curious as to what else I was missing. I would love to buy and install Dungeon Hunter 2, but the only .apk's I can find online are cracked ones and it's not in the market at all for me. Hopefully this helps.

Dungeon Hunter 2 is only for the iPhone right now.
When it is available, you won't find it in the market. Gotta go directly through Gameloft.
As it stands right now, there is no way to legitimately purchase a Gameloft game for your nook. It doesn't view the nook as a compatible device. You can't buy it for your phone, and transfer the apk. That shows as an invalid copy.
Take a look through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919287
Lots of Gameloft talk.
Thanks for the heads up. I have DH 2 on iPhone but would be fine with the original on NC. I would love to be able to buy it instead of trying to bypass all that.

Yeah, I'm totally with ya.
There are even a couple of games I would be willing to purchase a second time, if they would let me.
So now that the new Firefox 4 Beta 5 is out, I personally think Firefox is the best Tablet browser available. Its unique approach to tabs works well on a tablet, as does the back button. The earlier versions were super slow, but I think this new one has caught up a lot. I now prefer it greatly to Dolphin HD.
I have installed the following add-ons to maximize my Nook Color internet use:
-Quit Fennec- force closes after last tab closes, a must
-Phony- easy User Agent changer, another must
-readability- fixes messy pages to fit
-Full Screen- Does what it says and makes browsing a joy
What do you all think?
I agree. Seems stable and fast (compared to Dolphin). I also used Sync to import all my passwords and favorites from my desktop.
I'll give it a try, it was even slower and klunkier than Dolphin HD last time I tried it, I use Opera 10 on my NC and it's great. I've tried Mirin too but something about that browser bugs me, can't really put my finger on it.
Can you guys post an apk? I can't get to it from market or Mozilla's website.
Thanks for the tip. Every browser seems to have 1 thing wrong with it so ill definitely give this one a try. I would like opwlera best but i can't get over the terrible way it handles initial zoom.
I agree, I can't find a working link to download the apk. I fennec but it installed an update that didn't work and now I can't install Firefox. Bummer
Would appreciate the apk as well. Thanks
FTP is your friend, as old-school as it is.
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o...roid-r7/en-US/fennec-4.0b5-en-US.eabi-arm.apk
Thanks for the link. But everytime I try to install this, it seems to progress, asks about permissions, but at the end, says "program not installed". I've enabled usb debugging, used titanium backup to uninstall the previous left overs of Fennec, and I still get this message. A little stumped.
is this compatible with Android 2.1 with the latest dalingrin OC? I cannot get the apk to install. launched the Package Installer and installation would not get through saying "Application not installed"
Also each time I start the installer, it would warn that the app will replace an existing appl, but i do not currently have a fennec/firefox appl installed. Titanium Backup does not show any fennec/firefox app.
Can someone help please?
thanks
finally able to install by tweaking the the build.prop as suggested here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938114&highlight=firefox
if anyone else was having the same problem. that tweak fixed it for me.
I gave this a try based on this thread. While I do like the UI and it has a snappy response, the app itself is not ready for prime-time. If you try to enter numeric information into a field, it causes the insertion point to jump around. For example, I tried to visit the website for a local library and when it asked me to enter in my library card #, instead of "1234..." it would go "1243...". The insertion of characters as I typed them magically skipped around in the field. This was not isolated to just that website. Happened on a registration form on Adobe's site as well. Very annoying.
Looking forward to future updates.
--ex
I personally think Miren browser is the best for the nook. I have it set so that that status bar/tabs stays around all the time, and the floating buttons always hide. The only issue is that it doesn't work well with image links when they are opened in a new tab. In the new tab it will instead go to the link of the picture, not the actual link to the website. I will try this though, I tried the beta a long time ago so it will be nice to see how far they have come.

I have noticed this too. The only (painful) solution I have found is to very slowly type with a pause in-between each letter. Thank goodness it can sync with my desktop Firefox and slurp up all my passwords to avoid this mostly.
OMG SERIOUSLY? I tried Firefox last night for about 20 minutes and it GROUND TO A HALT each time I tried to search or put input in the URL bar. It'd freeze, if I tried to do anything I'd get the FC/Wait dialog, I hit Wait several times.. Finally killed it, tried again... Same thing. Eventually it'd load the page.
If you all think it's great, I wonder wtf is going on with my install. Maybe I need to uninstall it, make sure any old sdcard stuff is cleaned (I had it installed a few betas ago) and try again. Totally unusable for me right now.
I'm hoping the FF Deskop Ad Block Pro extension works with the FF mobile soon. That can make the internet a much more bearable place.

Installed fresh after going back to 305 and then to Sd 1.9.0 Im using 1.0.3 version legally purshased from market.
Yes 15.00 usd seems to much but i believe that this laucher has a lot of potential.
There are lots of modifications available for the winmo(6.5) version so im hoping this version will be even better.
I have it installed and didn't have any issues whatsoever. What is happening with your install?
SPB Shell 3D didn't seem to work on my Streak aswell but SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 (build 4365) does but had some FC's. Does anyone know a better build for the Streak?
Are you guys talking cracked/hacked versions? I'd be willing to buy it if I could try it first.

I wanted to try the app first. Didnt want a 18 bucks app that didnt work so went thru less than legal methods to obtain the apk. Tried from 2 different sites.Both times, it wouldnt install. Install will be unsuccessful. So decided to buy the app, you know, the legal way but again, the install was unsuccessful with a "Package file is invalid" error. So decided to refund it.
Hope I get the refund. On DJ 1.9.0.
Worked with my version 2.2.1 well till reboot,does anyone know the problem?
very nice but it has lot of probs
slow, it hangs now and then (and it takes minutes to come back alive)
no resizable widgets no scrolling widgets
i think it need a dual core processor to run decently
10€ throw away....

I am on stock 2.2.2. Installed SPB 2 days back. It's neat and fast. Tad expensive though. Haven't faced any problems so far. The only drawback seems to be limitations on use of widgets.
Where Stage was using around 50 MB of memory, this one uses 5-6 MB only. Battery is also doing better.

Short term fix to experiment
Hi Everyone,
It does "work" but you will lose the use of the Android Market. Below are the steps I took to keep the launcher working through reboots:
1.Update all your apps and back-up.
2. Download and install DroidWall.
3. White list everything manually (Not "all applications") EXCEPT for the Android Market, then activate DroidWall.
4. Turn on airplane mode and reboot your device.
5. After your streak reboots, install the apk.
6. After shell loads up, open DroidWall and white list sbp shell.
7. Turn off airplane mode and reboot your phone.
8. After the reboot, sbp shell will load and there will be a short freeze while Driod wall does its thing. Enjoy.
Remember, your using Droidwall to block market access in order to keep sbp from performing its license check. You will not be able to update your apps until you white list market. Unfortunately doing so may once again disable the launcher. It's an unfortunate compromise you will have to make.
Lastly, it's always best to support the developer by paying or donating for an app.
none of this would be necessary if:
the market refund policy was something more reasonable, like 1-4 hours instead of 15 minutes (although I did like the original 24 hours...)
SPB and others had a trial version that would disable itself after X days
But really... $15.00 is on the high end for a non-corporate app, but it is still just 15.00 (cheaper than a movie and popcorn)
no it doesn't support rotation. its very nice though. also, if you are running hacked version, do not power off your phone. you wont be able to turn it back on and it will get stuck on dell logo. I bought it from android market and i think its totally worth it. it looks awesome on 5 inch screen.
Its work really well on mine Streak with Steve's 1.90 rom. I think it has a lot of potential, just need to add more widget and more customization it would be my main launcher.
I have searched the forums and can't find someone with the same problems i am experiencing i hope someone can help me with a solution.
Problem:
If i play it for too long the game starts lagging horribly, i found this to happen a lot when playing trough some of the cut scenes.
And i think this one is only on our phone so....
When i press the menu key, which should take me to the home screen, it should save the game at it's current state, but it just closes it and i have to start from my last saved game or checkpoint.
Also i played the game on Froyobread V21 and now on V22 and had to start over because for some reason my apps weren't backed up and i had to download it again.
If you have any of the problems or know solutions write below.

I tried a lot of fixes but nothing works i tried:
Full wipe
Uninstalling the app
Moving it to SD Card (no change in loading speed)
Changing ROMs (Froyobread only!)
But still no solution.
P.S. And i see that Inotia 3 is one of the most downloaded free apps in the market so can someone with Froyobread confirm that it's working without any problem on the rom.
Me too. Even i used OC, mddi, and make it to lower quality using chainfire3d. but it still very laggy for playing it long.
Maybe it is inotia3's bug, or our phone isn't strong enough.
But i still waiting the next version of this game, hope this can be better.
I used Elelinux v.3 and FroyoBread 23b.
Better phone needed for it
Just get used to the fact that X8 is far not the powerful phone. For this type of games you just need a better phone.
As long as I keep having X8 I'm using it only for working/apps purposes. I'll play games when I buy a new phone, since on X8 they load so long, that there is no pleasure from playing them ...

Im sorry to say this but i have given up on Inotia 3 because of the bugs and lag.
Good news is i have found a replacement game with the same controls, so no multi-touch needed and the graphics are better also it doesn't have any lag at all.
The game i am talking about is Destinia it's just a great replacement for Inotia and i know that all of you who like Inotia will like it.
Helo people, I am also user who had same problem with Inotia3, lots of lags and reboots.
I am using gingerdx 018, where to find addfree version ?
For me beter replacment is zenonia 3.
I must say thats great game

Make a backup before trying this!
You have to dowload supercharger.sh.txt, after, rename it to superchager.sh and place it to the root of your sdcard.
disable "lock home in memory" in your cyanogenmod settings.
Now open terminal emulator in your x8 and write this:
su
sh sdcard/supercharger.sh
in please select scrolling speed, enter 0
in please enter option, enter 1
is home is locked in memory, enter no
and now, you have some settings (2 to 6) just enter a number, I use the aggressive 2 settings (option 3), but some people like the balanced settings 1.
after choosing your option reboot (option 16) and enjoy...
For me it's work great, and sorry for my bad english
This worked on my Sensation and on my T-Mobile GSII (Files were originally taken from Sensation forum, I just tried them on other devices). I don't have my Tab with me to try it right now, but figured someone could give it a shot.
Copy files to Titanium Backup folder and restore APP+DATA.
I know it won't work with AdFree or similar without modifying host files.
I tried, I can get it to log in and browse the available videos, however I get stuck on "buffering..." black screen or endless buffer loop where it starts to play ad but then just restarts and says buffering again
I also get the app loaded but get stuck on buffering
Do you have ad free or an ad free rom? That is what causes that problem on the sensation.
