I'm running CM7 nightly build and I can't get NOVA from Gameloft to run. Force closes right at launch every time. I've purchased the game for my Incredible, and pulled the download files from there and put them in sdcard/gameloft/games/nova but it's still force closing. Tried rebooting, toggling compatibility mode, reinstalling, nothing seems to work. I'm not opposed to re-buying the game to get a working APK but I haven't been able to find anything through extensive searching except people saying they've gotten it to work, and a couple Youtube videos showing the game running, but I have yet to find a single person explain how they got it working. Can anyone help?
I have version 3.4.2 and its running fine. Didnt do anything special to get it working.

some games do that when you are trying to run them off a sdcard. go to settings->applications->NOVA->move to phone. and see if that makes a difference.
When it comes to gameloft games, it has to be just the right version for the Nook color, or it won't work. I would try what the other 2 post suggested, and if that doesn't work, I believe there is a gameloft thread with the "working" version numbers for what apk you need.
I've got v.3.4.2 running on CM7 just fine. The menus and loading screen are small, but the game is full screen... now if only I could get other gameloft games to freakin' work!!!
Is it slow for you guys during heavy fight scenes? because it is for me

One of the things my wife uses our Gtab for is Facebook. She plays some of the games (Frontierville & Cafe World) but they don't seem to want to work. I think it is connected to the use of flash on the web site, but not sure. We are using VEGAn BETA 5.1. Has anyone else had any problems with games on Facebook?
I haven't had any problems playing Mafia wars or Castle Age.

I don't play games on facebook, but the one thing I noticed about it and I don't know if you have this problem is well, is I can't chat with my friends via IM. Does anyone know a way to correct this?
Hi all,
I don't want to commit thread necromancy here, but I figured its better than starting a new one...
Anyone had any further luck with this?
I just recently purchased a G Tab. I rooted it, loaded the latest CM7 ROM (1.2 bootloader), and downloaded the latest Adobe Flash from the marketplace (I think it was 10.3)
I was able to go on facebook, switch it to the "desktop site", and start loading a game (Dragons of Atlantis).
The game loads and opens, and I can maneuver around the map for about 2 minutes, and then the whole tablet just freezes. I have to wait a few more minutes, and then if I push the power button, it turns the tablet off. I then push the power button again, and it turns back on. This happens with both Dolphin Browser HD and Skyfire. Any suggestions?

I have the same issue, with Dungeon Overlord and Cityville -- both memory-hogging games. I figure its the lack of memory, but others don't seem to have this issue. I'm using Vegan tab Gingerbread, and wondering if I should try CM7.
hi,
did anyone got this working on their tab? im currently playing empires and allies and it opens up and i can play it, but it lags pretty bad. It aint that fast as to how you wud play on a pc. Im hav not rooted my tab and i dont plan to. Anyone got any solutions?
Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum and just received my g tablet today. I followed the instructions for installing cwmod and tnt lite 4.40 and everything went great. However, I've run into a few issues. When trying to download angry birds it hangs at 15%. I have tried multiple times to kill the download and restart it with the same results.
I'm also new to Android. Is there a way to set things up so my gmail is not accessible to anyone who picks up my tablet? I could also use a recommendation for a good video player that plays .avi files. Another problem I'm having is that whenever I try to play a music file in either the native music player or winamp, the app crashes. Everyone told me how much better android is than apple but so far im not that impressed. Can anyone make some recommendations so I can see the full potential of this tablet? Thanks in advance!
I just upgraded from 4.2 to 4.4.0 and don't have any of the issues you are referring to. I was previously getting a couple of force closes that I don't have anymore with 4.4 which makes me happy. I just confirmed movies play, but I don't have any songs loaded to test that. Hopefully someone here with greater knowledge will chime in quickly. You made a good choice going with Android - don't give up hope. It does take a little more effort to get it setup the way you want it, but the beauty is that you HAVE a lot of choices which iOS does not allow. You'll get there, and then you will love it.

Have you tried clearing caches? Wiping data? Many times those two simple things (which are usually recommended procedure after flashing a new ROM0 will clear up all kinds of problems.
With the latest TNTL you should be able to activate the lock screen. You'll need to set up a shortcut through your launcher to a security settings screen that isn't shown by default. That will allow you to enter a password, pin or unlock pattern.
Update: Just realized camera isn't working either. As for the Angry Birds problem, I have downloaded and installed other apps with no problem but for some reason Angry Birds hangs at 15% - super frustrating! Also, is there a way to do a screen capture? Thanks in advance!
I had a similar problem
You really need to check the error code to verify. I was having a similar issue and I found an article to resolve my issue.
This worked for me but like I said you need to check if you are receiving an error when attempting to install.
I would only do what this little fixit instructs to fix

The caveat with the android over apple is the versatility and personal control over how you get to use your device. That said, it requires a little bit of effort, research, and frustration to get it all to work perfectly if you choose to use the latest builds. If you want the least amount of problems use the most stable build (which is usually not the most latest build) Once you get use to it, using the latest build with bugs won't be so intimidating and frustrating...maybe still frustrating

If the camera is not working, you definitely want to do a data wipe (this is a GTablet, correct? I ask because VEGA and Adam users have tried to use TNT Lite before, and their cameras would definitely break).
As for screen capture, I used ddms (in the Android SDK).
Hate to post this issue, but I can't seem to fix it myself and I'm starting to go slightly crazy
I installed SNESoid a few months back and it was working great, then one day I shut off the sound by disabling APU support. Since then, I cannot get the sound to re-enable and actually work. It says its on, but I don't hear anything come out of the nook. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, and different versions - both 2.2.3 and 2.2.4
I know I could use TigerSNES instead, but when I try to run that it FC's on me immediately. This is running under Phiremod 6.2
Anyone got ideas of things to try? Maybe I need to delete a config someplace on the nook and reinstall.
Don't know if this helps, but I lose volume in fpse when ever I turn the screen off, I get it to return when I reboot,or force close the the app. Emulators can be wonky.

Had the same problem, I had turned sound off in Chrono Trigger and was using Save States. So what I did, was re-enabled the sound, and then found a save point in the game, saved game, and then reset the rom.
Then rather than loading a save state, I loaded the game from the save made in game. And wah-la, sound was back. Hope this helps.
Hi everyone,
I have a stock rooted Nook Color (1.2) and I've been struggling trying to get ScummVm working. I downloaded the latest nightly from ScummVm's website, but every time I try to get it installed, it just says "Application Not Installed". I tried a couple of other versions of ScummVm mods, but none of them seem to work.
Am I doing something wrong? Does it not work with stock? Did anyone get ScummVm working? If so, how? I've been hitting my head against the wall for days.
Have you tried this one? http://anddev.at.ua/load/scummvm_svn55436/1-1-0-7
I don't know if it's relevant to your problem, but I've been using these builds for months with no problem.
I have to admit I've never gotten ScummVM completely working, but from what I recall, you need the Scumm android app, an individual plugin for the game you want to play, and then finally some files from the original game. The first two things are available on the market, but the last one (the game files) are harder to come by -- officially you would get them from an original disc of the game.
Let us know if you have any luck!
I have the game files, I'm a bit of an adventure game addict, and I thought the Nook would be the perfect size to play my beloved games on.
@Arbelzapf, Thanks, I'll have to install those and try it. The daily build I loaded from scummvm website doesn't quite like the nook, since I kept getting install errors.
@ponyboy82, I haven't gotten the market versions to install either, then again, they won't work on my phone, and I think they are a little outdated compared to the ones on their website.
Going to be doing some experimenting to see what I can do to get my Sam & Max fix.
I set Chainfire 3d to these settings for Shadowgun.
In Chainfire3d: Default OpenGL settings
Reduce texture quality
Reduce texture size
Disable MapBuffer emu
The download of the additional files gets to 100% and then it crashes. Any idea on how I can get it to finish?
I have it on my XOOM, where in its file structure can I just copy it over to my Nook? Thanks.
I just copied over the entire com.madfingergames.shadowgun folder from my SD card on my phone and put it on the sd card for my nook. After doing that I started the app, it downloaded past 100 percent, but started right up. Plays perfectly so far.
You guys got shadiwgun working on this wow make me regret giving my nook to my wife and getting a Acer iconia tab
Lol

Mine works until its loading the first level. I can see the intro flawlessly, but when it finishes or is skipped I crash after a while in the loading screen. I don't get FC it just got back to previous screen (Chainfire)
it plays. very stuttery and jerky past the first level, but it still plays. When I first bought the game i couldn't get it to play but if you know how to search right, you can find a version floating around that has been optimized for none dual core devices.
That's the best I can give you. I paid for the game so i won't direct anyone to a pirated copy, but there is one floating out there that doesn't need tegra.
I tried the low version and still got same result. Maybe there's something wrong with my sd cache files since it kept freezing during the download...

Here is what I did to get it to work:
1) Get ShadowGun v1.0 and SD files
2) On Chainfire3D go to default open gl settings
3) Set plugin "NVIDIA", check "reduce texture size", "disable mapbuffer emu" and "hide cf3d id" (check reduce texture quality if you want better performance)
4) Run game.
5) ???????
6) Yeah... Profit!
How do I get it from the market is says my nook color is not compatable?
The market version isn't going to work. You have to google for it.
Where do u get the plugin from? Can anyone help?
google "chainfire 3d plugins". you should be able to find it. By the way, the plugins are zip files, once you've extracted them from the file you download just put them on the root of your sd card and install from the program.
I have tried several times, but it will not find my plugin file. I downloaded the correct one and used drop box to put it on my nook. Can anyone help thanks
The files:
libGLEMU_QUALCOMM.zip
libGLEMU_POWERVR.zip
libGLEMU_NVIDIA.zip
need to be on the root folder of your SDcard.
Don't forget that you need to "install plugins" before "Use plugin/Load a plugin"
Igot that done, but now it bombs out after it gets to 99% of the first download. Any suggestions?
I had it bomb on all of the downloads. It you keep trying, they usually download. Did you try installing the sd files? When I did it caused me to freeze on the downloads. Keep trying, took me awhile... Nothing like downloading til 99% then freezing.. drove me nuts

well I got everything installed, and the game seems to run smooth, but my controls aren't on the screen.....
-_- Are you kidding me..
Read my graphically intensive games thread (includes Modern Combat 3, NOVA 3, Dead Trigger, Shadow Gun, and Mass Effect Infiltraitor) for any games info and how it works, why it works, and how to do it yourself. No Chainfire is needed. Shadowgun and Dead Trigger can even be downloaded from the Play Store. Im not trying to sound like an ass, but make sure you SEARCH before you post. I had to learn it the hard way xD
All the stuff in the thread is CM7 and CM9 compatible.
