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.

Just look in the development section. All the roms are there.
The only question to ask yourself is, do you want honeycomb or try out the ics alphas. I would go with ics but keep in mind it's alpha so some stuff might not work

Shadowgun, Frontline Commando, and Deadspace, are all pretty awesome 3d games, but yeah I want Gameloft support too.
At the moment there is no one Gameloft game in the market for 8.9 Galaxy tab.
I have tried to change tablet version name to P7100 in build.prop but it didnt helps (games have appeared but i cant buy anything). I also cant install or run any downloaded version...

Hi guys!
Is it just me or the galaxy tab is really bad at running applications? I cant believe that running a 2D game such as xconstruction would run extremely bad on the tab due to the streching of the screen. In addition, I have downloaded many applications and games and ended up uninstalling around 60% of them because they dont run very well, while others show nothing but a black screen!
I am really shocked by the poor performance of the tab! This device is full of conflicts! Some 3D games run very well while most run badly. Browsing is good but pdf viewing is laggy and bad! I have always admired google and defended Tabs with honeycomb against iPad, but I think I will have to revert back to iPad for the sake of a market filled with applications and excellent documents viewing quality.
I hate being biased, but the Tab 10.1 lacks the performance despite of the Dual Core processor and 1Gb ram. What do you guys think? I welcome hearing positives and negatives about it. Would anyone be kind enough to recommend apps that are fully working with no bugs? The same goes to games suggestions too!

you may have a cluttered up tab that means that it doesnt run very well but other than that i dont really know why games arnt working

Thanks for the correction for the word "many" apps. It is true that English isn't my first language, I think that's the effect of a sleeping pill heheh.
Thank you all for passing by. I will have a look at the link suggested and will try the games that were menioned. I do like the way games run in the nvidia tegrazone, yet some are a bit poor reaching the required Fps.

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.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
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
When I downloaded it, it said "device is not campatible yet" did this say to anyone else, I have modern combat 2 black Pegasus which works really good and is awesome but the third one has a ton more features online
I just checked in the market via my laptop, https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftM3HM

how you succeed to intall data files?
it say that it can download data files because my device is incompatible.
How you download the game data is here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1435617
After getting the game for free off Samsung apps (they had that special promotion, not sure if it still there) I can say it runs pretty smooth. However, there are some times it hangs just for a half sec, does anyone else experience this small lag? I have a feeling it is because the one I got for free from Samsung was for the galaxy sII, maybe there are different versions for high end devices? Am I correct in assuming everyone else got it by faking their device as a galaxy S? I might have to buy the galaxy s version if I want to get rid of it, although it is perfectly playable, just minor hangups.

Has anyone got modern combat 3 to run on this tablet?
When I first purchased this tablet 2 months ago it was working, and then now all of a sudden it says that its not compatible.
yes, mc3 works but you must change the build prop but only if you have rooted the Sony.
Model=A500
Brand=acer
Name=picasso_generic1

Save then reboot
Games working;
9mm
Modern combat 3

Gt racing
And a few more

Works perfect now, thanks!
FANTASTIC. This was the first build prop that i tried. Some games still dont show up like real racing(which is one of my favs and FREE). Maybe i will look into trying a few more build props, its a case of trial and error in some cases.But I am pleased i was able to help as the Sony is mainly used a a gaming devise and e-book reader.
Happy times Buddy.

I was thinking the galaxy tab would be the one to go for.. it's popularity is sure to in turn create the most compatibility with app. I haven't bothered yet due to assumin it might not work so well being 10.1 vs 9.5 inch tabs... any ideas?
I was thinking about using the Galaxy tab but went with the Acer. I may try it but the problem is that once the build prop is changed the installed games need to re download data again. Since ive got pretty much all the games I can(due to storage) installed I will wait until the external sd issue has been fixed.
I'll try the Asus Transformr Prime, Galaxy Tab 7.1 & 10.1.
The Acer build prop works for most of the games. I think the Prime would not be a good comparison as this uses a tegra 3 quad. Best to keep the build props roughly the same as the native one.
...........But you never know.
Build Prop changing ??? Very very new...
Can anyone tell me wat else this effects cause i've changed my build prop on my lg G-slate cause alot is not supported for it but will this mess anything up and once i get these games running can i change my build prop back with the games and apps still working?
In my experience once you change the build back to original then the games require the game data again or even worse they come up with incompatibility problems.Try find a build prop that has the same specs as the original device. I have never had any major problems changing the 4 lines above but thats not to say you wont. Good luck
Anyone else had any luck with build.props other than the a500? I would actually like modern combat 2 which doesn't seem to be showing with the a500 edit
You could always google for samsung 10.1 build prop. I was going to try this one but since the a500 worked for me i just left it
I downloaded the apk directly (not from Playstore) and it works fine ;-) I also bought to be fair to the developers. Great game!

Hi robber,
Just check it out - its very easy with v2.3 "Fake as other device" function.
One-click solution - to get Acer A500, or other one from four available devices.
Can be also reverted back as Sony with one click

Thanks. I have not played with 2.3 yet. Didn't realize that was a function. Nice.
I had to go through a lot of incompatibility problems to get it to work. i downloaded two different apks, from online. used one to download the data, juggled the data around and made it work for the second apk, if that makes any sense
This game is worth to buy.Dont understand why its not officially comatible with our tablet. Maybe because of implementation of ps3 pad drivers if yes. Btw its easy way to have it playable - my way. Its compatible with my xperia arc s so I bought game and move it on tablet. I dont see any bugs or texture loss. I also dont play on phone cause it starts heating very fast imo its not a theft. In this case it works I dont know what if you downloaded game on other device. There is also solution if game wont start after logo. Region change 2 UK on tablet setting , play and save game and revert region to this which was before. I tried play with ps3 pad -not working well. Btw2 multiplayer in this game rocks :laugh:
If we used appguard to disable mc3 to read phone state, wouldn't that work?

Depending on the games you may need to spoof another device. Most of the kid games work well though. My 2 and 5 year olds like playing on my touchpad. In fact I'm getting another one for them soon.

To those running CM9, do gameloft/glu games work? I used to get FC all the time on CN several months ago.
I got a GNex so I haven't been up to date on TP development for a while now
A lot of gameloft games work, I run Asphalt 6, Modern Combat 3, Dungeon Hunters 3, and other high end games like Mass Effect Infiltrator and such with no problems. Sometimes you'd need specific versions for some other games (so those have to be side-loaded into your device) but most work. Don't know about glu games, myself.
CM9 nightlies are the best. I flash the latest nightly, change the build.prop to spoof a SGH-T989, and I'm set for everything I need.
