Ok I did a search and didn't see anything on this topic.
I was wondering if anyone else is having Plants Vs Zombies freezing after the update to ICS? I bought the app from Amazon and I checked and there is no update.
Does anyone know how to fix this??
Thank you guys in advance!
I have the Amazon version of Plants vs. Zombies and i just installed it and tried playing. It seemed to lock up at 'Tap on a seed packet to pick it up!' in the starting tutorial, then I got by there and it killed it and restarted. This time it locked up a little later in the first stage, but basically the same thing. Freezes and I have to force kill.
I just did a factory reset last night and it seemed to clear up alot of my issues I'd been having since ICS, but I guess Plants vs Zombies isn't compatible (at least not the Amazon version).

Is there another version?? I didn't see anything on the Android Market?

Interestingly, it lists my Prime as incompatible... My phone is compatible though.... Amazon lets you buy things that your device is not compatible with. I got the Kindle Fire version of Asphault 6 by mistake, but luckily it was only .10 :/
I've been using a version of Plants Vs. Zombies that I found online. It's an HD version that's been working great, and it looks really good. Just try searching Google for Plants Vs. Zombies HD APK. Thats what I did, and I love it.

Thank you I will try this since the version I paid for doesn't work.
There are a bunch of games I've gotten as amazon free app of the day that break in ICS... PvZ, Peggle, and Kona's Crate to name a few. I also have issues with Zen Pinball unfortunately. They are all games that worked on my Prime and my Gingerbread phones, but don't on ICS. I'm assuming they need an ICS compatibility update, but haven't researched it much yet.
UPDATE: I was just reading through the user reviews for the app in the amazon store and I saw a suggestion that worked for me... clear the games data in Settings > Apps, and the game should load right up.
Thanks. This also applies for the non-Prime TF101 (for Zen Pinball, although I had to run the game 2x after clearing data to get it working). I emailed the developers about the issue yesterday and have now pointed them to this thread.

Are you guys getting these through the market or do you have to go on their website?
They are purchased through the gameloft site, not the market
However, keep a copy of the downloaded files. I did a factory reset and the web site doesn't list them as part of my downloads. Best to buy games from the market, I guess. Gameloft wants a bit more info than my time is worth, or no doubt I could get it fixed.

Since they don't have an option for AT&T, what carrier do you select when you buy the game from the web site? Or does it matter? thanks

After messing with me phone a bit, the whole re download part of gameloft is screwy for my purchases, I don't know what firmware I bought what with, and the site detects your phone to determine what games you are allowed to get. Not sure if it's all Gameloft's fault since they had a 2 for 1 sale on 3 games that I used twice, so the site kept telling me to download a free game I already had installed, they them updated the website. Also Nova refuses to download content, support sent me a link for a new download, no diff. I lost let's golf 2 altogether, support ignores me on that one. Annoying, I would stay away from any games that are not from the market if you are into changing firmware/themes/wallpaper/display brightness, OK, maybe not the last 2. And backup whatever you get, however restoring the data doesn't guarantee that the game will use it. It's hit or miss with Gameloft. Makes me want to go to pirate bay to get copies of my purchased games. Not that I have been playing any of them lately, lol.
The NVIDIA pinball game is interesting, paper 3d glasses support.
Cheers!
Ok i am a little confused here. When i got to the site on my phone it says it isnt supported. When i go through the browser, there arent any ATT phones listed ( i assume its because they block sideloading). Can i just choose tmobile, download the apk, sideload it on my phone, and it work? Really wanting dungeon hunter 2. Has anyone had success w/ downloading from the above method?
hi im new here (been creeping as anonymous for a week now lol)
Might anyone have experience with gameloft apk files working on the atrix?
I use sideload wonder machine to install them to my phone
but they all require additional download when i open the app
that usually fails (dungeon hunter 2, eternal legacy, nova)
or it completes and then theres missing pictures all over, like white and the game crashes after a bit.
ive found some files that contains both the apk and a zip folder.
im assuming the zip is for the "additional download" but i have no idea how to install them.
solutions anyone?

lol, i used SWM too. works awesomely.
umm, also had the install freeze glitch. it only freezes when your phone goes into sleep mode or when you try to multitask while its installing.
solution is to go into settings, disable the screen timeout so the screen doesnt turn off (and so your phone doesnt autosleep) and just leave your phone plugged into the wall socket while downloading over wifi. worked for me.
currently trying gt racing. it looks good, but lots of jaggies. antialiasing would be nice, but given our atrix's higher resolution, i dont think it would have enough grunt to run AA (ignoring the fact that tegra 2 doesnt seem to do AA).
sadly, the only way i have found to get any games working is through mobilism (bad word?). i guess if they want my money, they'll open up to att now that the 3rd party sources is open. or is that when official 2.3.4 comes out? idk, it's whatever, the atrix has a very limited amount of gameloft choices anyways. they probably have versions for our phones, but the atrix is kinda unique in it's design. does anybody else know of a non-att, qvga, tegra device? when one does land or maybe when ginger lands officially we'll get versions for our phone made available.
Asphalt 6 runs very well. And dungeon hunter 2 works too. I've bought Nova too once but I gave up the idea of installing it because the gameloft's politic on purchases sucks.
And I much prefer my emulators! I have a bunch of em working smoothly you should try fpse, it's great!
Sent from my Alien Atrix
Johansson,
how did you get Asphal 6 to run? When i tried installing the tree's are black. In 3D terms alpha channels in textures aren't rendered correctly. =\
Which version of dungeon hunter did you use?
I am somewhat of a phone freak. I am usually buying, rooting, selling various phones. But recently came back and started using a Vibrant again. I am noticing that a few of my favorite games run piss poor on this phone. Namely Squibble, Drag Racing, games that as far as I can tell aren't too heavy.
I have tried a few other ROMS thinking this was the problem, Bi-Winning, Simply Galaxy, Performance V, among some others. I just can't get these games to run right. With or without Lag Fixes, I've even tried stock firmware.
Any ideas which roms are best for gaming? or any other ideas.
Haven't played drag racing, but I can confirm Squibble has always lagged really bad for me. Strange that such a simple game will do that, yet some Tegra 2 games will run perfect.
I am curious if you installed those games directly from the Google app market or the Amazon App Store. I have actually been meaning to ask around here if anyone else has had trouble with Amazon App Store games. I don't know if it is just the games I chose or if there is something else that is going on behind the scenes.
I first had problems with Angry Birds Rio. It was terribly laggy for me. After changing roms I didn't put the Amazon App Store back on my phone until recently when I added it for Plants vs. Zombies. Once I run that game the phone gets laggy on me until I reboot. I can't play it, stop playing it, then load it back up later without rebooting. Actually I can, it just is almost impossible to play the second time around.
Anyhow, just curious which app store you used to install the games.
I have been running trigger 3.2 with dragonmodz kernal. dragonmodz is made for gaming. it overclocks the gpu as well as the cpu. drag racing runs really laggy for me for the first few races then runs fine. the only problem is how addicting that game is. I kill the battery. other games run fine. I installed chainfire 3d and the nvidia drivers. dungeon def hd works as well as samurai II. fun game!
squibble runs great for me.
on cm7
I also noticed the horrible lag while playing drag racing. It almost ruins the game. But I can tell you what fixes it completely for me, and I mean no lag, not even the first race. Just install MIUI. I use the "Energy" version. I have a hunch that any gingerbread based rom would likely work tho, although you did mention simply galaxy in your roms that youve tried list. I am torn between having wifi calling, (2.2 based only) and having playable Drag Racing (2.3+ based only). Currently still on Energy in spite of my almost non-existant network in my area. Good Luck

Looks like this hasnt been tested on a vibrant yet. Was built for nexus one. I dont mind being the guinea pig tho.
Edit: Tried flashing it, it failed but atleast it didnt brick my phone. Just rebooted after failure and all was well. Hopefully someone can make this work for our vibrants. With Working GPS on ginger, now all we need is wifi calling to be bug free gingerbread. Were so close!
update: I started a new topic about getting this ported over in the development section here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15064209#post15064209
I really hope someone can getter going!
Try putting your phone in airplane mode. My buddy with an og droid can't play Angry Birds unless he does.
Why in the world does that game need to see system log files and phone identity. I hate odd permissions.
Gameloft has officially started supporting our device. Slowly they are adding more of their games to be fully supported for the Prime. Below you will find all the current games that are available to us:

Changing the build.prop on my HP Touchpad to:
ro.product.model=GT-i9100
ro.product.brand=samsung
Allowed it to see all gameloft games in the market place and download the data. I tried this on my Prime but it doesnt seem to work...
Anyone know of a method?
I did the same thing when the apps went on sale. The crappy thing is I bought most of their games on my phone thinking I would be able to just get them in the market when I get my prime but no.
I read somewhere that you could email them and they would give you the apk's for the games you bought if you let them know your email address and your phone number. I emailed them and I'm waiting on their reply. Granted I didn't tell them its for my prime so I'll see what they say.

be careful when editing build prop. there's a guy now who his prime is in some sort of boot loop from doing the same and hasn't been able to fix it yet.
Order and Chaos wont work, the latest update broke it when i was running it on the TF101.
Previously we had to run the Xoom version of the game to get it working, but whatever they did in the update broke it
Its seriously ****e for gameloft not to support the TF. When i did some digging about on their forums, it seemed to be due to a licence problem, IE someone wanted to charge them too much to support the TF/ TFP officially.
Stupid really as im sure TF and the TFP will have a massive share in the tablet market now.

the problem is even with the APK the game does a check when it loads to see if it's compatible, i've gotten MC3 to work but other games will just tell you they aren't compatible when you load them.
it's ****ing lame of them, and i won't support them until they change their policy. ALL tegra2 compat games will work with the prime technically.
Most companies will write games to work with OpenGL ES which means they work automatically for pretty much every phone that has the hardware to support them.
Unfortunately Gameloft had it in their heads for a while that it is a good idea to write directly for each individual phone's processor instead of just creating one copy for OpenGL and being done with it. Thus massive fragmentation ensued.
Things are a little better now, they are releasing newer games directly to the market and those are generally compatible with all devices. When I got my VZW Galaxy Nexus I was very surprised to see that all my Gameloft Games installed right away without issue. (The one exception was Modern Combat 3 which was updated a week later).
I am pretty sure that the only thing keeping these games off the transformer prime is an arbitrary compatibility check. If they work on the old transformer directly from the market they should work on the prime.
Hopefully they give me the apk's, and hope they get updated to work on the prime. Seeing as this a very popular device, hopefully it won't take long. Its the only reason I bought them

maybe we should do the same like people did with Asus and bootloader. start writing them and complaining to them. that by not making their games compatible for TF/TFP devices they are missing out on a huge market share. our devices are more than capable of running their games. I have all the great gameloft games on my Ipad like Modern Combat3, Nova2, Splinter Cell conviction, and lots more. I really wish I could get them for my Prime. I think if enough TF/TFP owners complained to them then we might see the results we want pretty quickly.
Uno HD showed up on my Prime
MW3 and Asphalt 6 HD do NOT show up. which is sad. those are my fav.

Please sign the petition I started.
It's time for Gameloft to get flooded with emails and I decided on starting a petition so it's really easy for everyone to show support. Please pass this along to every forum, twitter and facebook friend you have.

I have Dungeon Hunter 2 working on my Prime, will upload pics ASAP.
And post a tut if enough people want to know how.
i wish people that had some gameloft games working would at least explain how... telling us that you have such and such game working doesnt help anyone.
please let us know if you have gameloft games working, and if so explain how.

Not with that attitude. You're acting as if people HAVE to tell you how to do something. Not gonna butter it up bud, that's a really whiny attitude.
I have successfully gotten Dungeon Hunter 2 working, but it crashes more than it should be and I'm trying a few things.
me soo sorry, just thought it would help more if those that have gameloft games working could explain how too others.
I use this build.prop mod by crossix on my acer a100 so the market thinks I have an a500. Can someone take a look at the lines if it looks like it will work on the Prime?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20200566&postcount=32
With this mod I'm able to see, mc3, Asphalt 6, Nova 2, backstab, Order and Chaos with my acer a100.
I purchased most of the Gameloft games during their sale (Knowing that they don't support the prime).
So far I have working :
Modern Combat 3
Spiderman HD
Hero of Spart HD
N.O.V.A 2 HD.
Not working :
Order & chaos (Downloaded data but won't update to latest version)
Asphalt 6 (Errors out whilst downloading data)
Backstab HD (Semi works - Initial download ok, game runs flawlessly though without sound (music plays, but no sound effects). After exiting and re-running the game, you have to download 2-300mb.
Dungeon Hunter - Downloaded data and installed, FC's after intro movie.
For the working games, I simply used APK's which I believe were modified for the original Transformer (Don't think I can post links, google is your friend however)
APK's will not work, unlike dead space which I can just email my samsung epic apk to the prime, install, and download sd files to play. When the gamelot apks are sent they will install and open then check the device with the gameloft servers. They then show incompatible. You can actually see the splash screen for the game in the background but gameloft is not allowing the game to go further
anyone successfully edit build.prop yet so these games will work?

Actually there's a simple work around for getting gameloft games working on Prime without editing build.prop or adding anything. As I have the new Modern Combat3 on it and it plays very well. can even play online against others. This game looks sick on Prime display.
The work around is you have to find the matching game apk. for Acer500 or Xoom device. As those have the same screen resolution. Once you get a hold of those, install, then download extra data from online. then you good to go. that simple and plays fine. Google can be your best friend
Sorry for my title in this thread, but I am just a little upset right now. Whatever 3d game I download, either does not work, is not compatible with the tab, and if it does install crashes in 30 mins. If it does not crash, the ap acts crazy. I am talking about game apps btw. Skies of glory, my plane just keeps spinning around non stop. About 10 games I tried downloading are not compatible. Hawx crashes 15 mins into the game. I see alot of apps are compatible with the 10.1 inch model. When I go to gameloft, they don't even have the 8.9 model as one of the selection on their site. Is it just my tab or no one offers support for this thing?
Does anyone have any 3d games that work with this tab? So I can at least get some more? (I do have shadowgun, Hot Pursuit, and dead space were the only ones I see that work really well. Thanks
This is because Galaxy Tab 8.9 defaults to "landscape" in build.prop whereas all the other tabs including the 10.1 defaults to "portrait". That means any game that uses the accelerometer will not function for 8.9 (unless you hold it in landscape mode!) until the developers start to cater specifically for 8.9.
you're going to want to install a custom ROM and you'll like it much better.
I don't know why samsung made some of the decisions they did, but overcome fixes everything that you're talking about.
I play GTA, osmos, world of goo, wreckless racing, wreckless getaway, etc. all work great.
Is it a POS? stock software, yes. hardware, absolutely not.
Thanks for the replies guys, what custom rom do you recommend for it? I guess I will google it if a link cannot be posted. Thanks.

That won't work. ICS broke most of those games. Plus those games aren't natively supported on the Prime. So he had to use another device apk to get it to work. MC3 has been updated tl support ICS but you have to find another device apk that will be compatible with prime. Either an A500 or Xoom. More than likely Xoom because its on ICS already. I'm looking for that version also. Dead Space kinda worked on ICS but it forced you to play in portrait mode..lol. looking for a new version of that also.
I was running an a500 version of mc3 that I transferred from my tf101. stuck in bootloops. ck zombies won't even get that far.

I too really wanna try out Modern Combat 3 on the Prime. I have never even tried it at all yet lol. I saw on Youtube someone was playing Counter Strike on the Prime! Looked legit.
that was one of the first things i wanted to do, to check the difference in load times for mw3 on tf201 over tf101.
when I was on HC on prime, MC 3 played perfectly n played great. even played online against others. also a warning, don't bother trying to edit build prop. just to play some dang games...lmfao unless you want a bricked prime. already had a few people here learn the hard way. remember, curiosity killed the cat
dead space also looked n played great on HC. I miss those games.
Kind of addicted to online, started the game a couple of weeks ago and I'm rank 51 lol.
