Heroes of might and magic 3 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I know there is a version of heroes 2 for adnroid but I just found a linux version of heroes of might and magic 3 - My idea was - is it possible for a linux version (not emulated one) to be ported for android ?

no idea but i do know about Homam, totally awesome if someone gives it a try. A superb game to have on defy

It's nearly impossible to run any closed source PC software on Android. Don't ask about that.
The reason, why there is HOMM2 is that someone has rewritten HOMM2 engine from scratch. That game on Android isn't actually HOMM2, but Free Heroes2: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fheroes2/ .

Yeah I know that it is almost impossible for closed source to be run on android or hand-held. But I don`t know however - I don`t recall 3DO to have released an official linux version - so i was hoping someone ported it. I haven't downloaded the game yet but I`ll download it and I`ll post an update if it actually contains something helpful.

Windows, Linux - that doesn't matter. It would have to be open sourced.

I found this http://forum.vcmi.eu/portal.php , says it's open source with some files here https://vcmi.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vcmi/trunk/ .
Hope there's a chance.

Yes, there is open source port of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and it's VCMI. It works in Maemo (google vcmi maemo or vcmi n900), so why not in Android? I would love to have VCMI in my phone!

Oh yes!
FINALLY! I have been waiting for this moment!
Testing now on HTC Desire Z:
https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.vcmi

has anyone launched it on android sucsesfully? i tried it on my lg 2x with cyano nightly 146. followed instruction on market. app just quits after few second of launching it.
cant find precise manual also. cant understand where the problem is. what files and how should i copy on sd card etc.

[Q] Should Modern Combat 2 HD work on SGSII?

Hi,
I installed Modern Combat 2 HD from Samsung's Games Hub and it crashes after downloading all of the extra 249MB.
I tried to use Chainfire's CF3D driver with NVIDIA plugin but it didn't work as well.
Does this happen to anyone else?
I bought this game today and it runs fine on my Stock Galaxy S2.
I have the game as well and it runs fine on my phone :/
I had issues running it, got force close errors all the time. Someone on another thread posted a work around.
Try to open it, after you get the fc dialog, click ok to get rid of dialog then hold the hardware home button for a couple of seconds. A list of recently opened apps will be displayed. Find the game here and open it. Should work from here

What Build number is everyone using? I am currently on KE2. It could be a bug that is build specific.
I'm running KE7 and this workaround works for me.

Er, why not just buy it at the Market? The version there is fully compatible with the SGSII, I have it on mine.
I bought it from Samsung GameHub. Everything there should work perfectly.

I don't really understand this comment? What's the difference between buying it on the market or off the Gameloft website?
It was available for £1 on the Gameloft website, which automatically picked up that my phone was an SG2... surely it should be fully compatible with SG2 if they are making it available to owners of the phone on their website?

Gameboid Emulator

Does anyone have this working on their galaxy s2? Or any other working GBA emulator. A link/how to install would be nice including your BIOS.
(I know that it was pulled from the android market)
A quick search indicates it works fine.

Returns, amongst others (which appear to happily link the emulator and bios file) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265791
Since it was removed from the android app store, do you know what is the latest version of this emulator?
Don't much like searching eh? Well, from a quick look, 2.4.7 would appear to be the latest version.

Do you mind explaining what you did to get the emulator working.
I went on getjar.com and the emulator isnt there anymore.
I get that black screen when I try loading a rom, I've tried various things and nothing works.

O_O wait 5 seconds and a download link appears. you don't need to click save as.
Same here... They're still downloaded as .htm files no matter how long you wait. I don't think you can download them directly from the phone. So you'll have to download them from a computer first I guess.

I try it, but it's working on my tp, I am using alpha 3, and alread change "nexus s" on build.prop
The next version of xron is supposed to have a new build.prop to have better market access.

Thanks for the heads up ... I was trying to figure it out and came across this thread.
No problem always glad to help, hit that thanks button whenever u can
The build.prop fix didn't work for NFS Shift, however I have been able to get it to work using my Android phone as a workaround.
Required: TitaniumBackup on both TP and a rooted Android phone.
I was able to install on the TP from the market using the alpha3 build.prop. however, each time I launched NFS It would fail to download game data (NaN error). My HTC Desire HD wasn't showing as compatible with NFS, so I took a titanium backup copy of nfs on the TP and transferred the files to my phone via PC (the files you need are in /sdcard/TitaniumBackup and will have a name beginning with com.eamobile.nfsshift_row_wf)
I restored NFS from backup on the phone, and launched it this time the game data downloaded. I played a single race to make sure it was OK. Using my PC again I copied the game data folder (/sdcard/Android/data/com.eamobile.nfsshift_row_wf) from my phone to the TP in the same location.
Fired it up and it works really well and is proper full screen once the game launches. The initial splash screen is letterbox'd.
Hope this helps anyone wanting to use NFS Shift on the TP or get around another EA game with the same issue.

Would this be possible? Spoofing a tablet for an app?

So the Battlelog app for android if you are running a tablet lets you use commander mode in the full game (basically play a mini strategy game from anywhere against real pc players) and command from wherever you go.
Would I be able to spoof my nexus 4 into a tablet just to do this without having to buy one?
I am currently running Paranoid Android so this should be possible but I am unable to increase the size of the battlelog app from Hybrid settings.
So when the game comes out in 10 days this should be possible right?
I would love to take Battlefield 4 with me anywhere and command on the go.
If there is a separate tablet apk let me know.

I have that exact question, I'm going to try and use xposed and the app setting from xposed to see if I can force a tablet mode on it, if it works I'll let u know, I'm running on a galaxy s4
Update: the app battle log is not the app that runs commander mode, they r launching a separate app for it, I've tried to find it and no luck though
