[Q] CM9 GTA 3 - Whats my deal... - TouchPad General

I think this may be my first post on XDA. I roam XDA, Rootz, and AC all the time but rarely find a time that I can contribute to others so I generally keep to myself.
Absolutely love my TP running CM9 alpha0.6...
From time to time I have issues with getting apps to work. Normally I can figure out a way to get the app side loaded and working but this has not been the case for GTA. When the app first hit the market I paid for it and downloaded. I have always got the same message after opening the game.
"Unfortunately, GTA III 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY has stopped."
Obviously i have downloaded the data files from a site and put in the correct folder on my "SD card"..still no luck.
Maybe I have downloaded the wrong data .rar files? Which ones are working for others?(I read HTC Sensation files work in other threads)Where did you download them?
Are there any changes I need to make in order for the game to work?
Any suggestions would be helpful...i have wasted a lot of time on this.
Was helped by another member. Went through the market to update the app. was able to download the files and play afterwards.

I have the same issue with the Madden 12 app. It starts downloading some 300MB update, but then just quits and tells me to try later.

Since I never wiped my SD card when upgrading from CM7 to CM9 all I had to do was install GTA and it launched using the files downloaded while on CM7. On CM7 I had downloaded the files on wifi, not sure if this works in CM9.
You can find the files already downloaded in an archive on the internet, just pick the correct GPU brand and it should work if you can't download on the Touchpad.

I have download the data direct from Wifi with no problem at all !
If you have save data, you can backup the file from "/sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3ger/files/GTA3/GTA3sf*.b" before you re-download the data.

[Q] NOVA on CM7

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

Question about gameloft games and FPSE(another obviously :p )

Hey guys,what's up?
So,question one is about Gameloft's games.I am getting a Galaxy S 2 some time soon,so this "issue" came up.I want to buy some games from Gameloft,but I saw that downloads are device specific.Now,if I buy,let's say,Assasin's Creed for my Desire HD,will I be able to download it again for free on my Galaxy S 2(If it works,don't care,it's just an example)or will I have to rebuy it?
Question two is in regards to FPSE.I bought it yesterday from the Market and face issues.Well,I open it,change some settings,set a bios and run a game(Digimon World 3 ).The moment the game is running my settings are reset.This also happens when I change the settings(only set bios and country) and restart the app.It's like I just downloaded it.What the heck is wrong?I realised it had problems after two hours,so a refund was not possible.Plus,today's update didn't fix anything.Any ideas?
Thanks!
In case someone decides to answer,I have another problem.
I bought Asphalt 6 HD from market.I start it and it downloads some 500mb of files it needs to my SD card,but when it's done and I press "OK",instead of running it fc's.Not that I manage to read the message that appears on screen,it goes away almost instantly.All I get is a black screen,the said message and voila,I'm back to my app drawer.Any ideas? :\
I thiiiiiink Asphalt doesn't work on GalaxySII. I haven't tried personally but in the GSII forum there is a thread on what games work and its definitely on the 'does not work section...'

Firstly thanks for answering,I was a little discouraged with the support I didn't get on the topic!
Secondly,I know that it doesn't work on the GS2(that's if you don't use Chainfire3D).I am trying this on my Desire HD,the Galaxy S 2 arrives tomorrow.It also says that the download fails and I have to continue but it seems broken for some reason.Pretty ****ed up.
I brought my HTC Evo 3D from sprint and the spiderman 3D game from gameloft was there. I upgraded and brought the full game, now my phone is rooted with a new rom. Can i some how get the spiderman 3D game back on my new rooted phone?
Gameloft game's are device specific. They have a different APK file for every device, and each different APK file will ask their servers for a slightly different set of SD' files.
When you buy a game off them for a certain device, they will let you download the same APK as many times as you like. But they will not let you buy for one device, then download the APK for another device later.
Unless you bought the game from the android market of course, buy from there you can download as many times as you like from as many different devices as you like.
A theory why Gameloft games don't appear on the Android market all that much.
If you bought the Desire HD version from gameloft and it doesn't work I would contact them.
If you didn't and got the APK elsewhere, its version 3.0.9 you need for the desire hd, if you got any other version it would of downloaded the wrong SD files and would explain why it doesn't work.

Yeah...Well,thanks dude.But this thread has been long buried and forgotten.I've found the answer,no problems now.I gotta admit though,not being able to download the apk as many times as you want is a little bullshitty.

Shadowgun - DL failure

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.

Real Racing 2 on CM7

I had Real Racing 2 on my rooted NT prior to CM7, but can't figure out how to install after flashing CM7. Tried putting the apk in system/app and data/app and both result in failed installation. Any ideas? Maybe permissions are off?
Sent from my Droid Incredible ICS 4.0.3
That is a good question.
I couldnt' get asphalt 6, modern combat 3, and 9mm to play.
They would validate files after install but would force close when starting the games.
Several other games I couldn't even get to install and would get the install failed prompt.
One of the only graphic intense games I could run was shadowgun.

Have you tried installing them from the Market? idk if they're market apps or not or how you acquired them or whatever.
Try popping out the SDcard as I mention here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484272
then try to install

The game doesnt show up in the market on the NT, so I swapped the apk over from my phone, which worked prior to CM7.
Tried the SD card method and it said it installed successfully but when I try to load the game it just goes to a black screen...forever

When you were on Stock, did you do the build.prop change that was posted?
No build.prop changes the first time, just copied apk from phone to tablet and installed.

It may be a graphic driver issue.

Haha, if I had a nickel...
The CM7 downloads were taken down due to several bugs, including one that nearly fully bricked the NT.
I have been monitoring the CM7/9 progress from day 1 and downloaded the Alpha the morning it was released before they took it down.

I have Asphalt 6: Adrenaline on my Captivate. It runs ok usually, but some times it gets very choppy and unplayable. I want to try it on my NT. I could not find it on the Market of Amazon App Store so I used Titanium Backup and Dropbox to back up, move the files, and restore. The app shows up on the NT but when you I try to open it, it says that it is not compatible and that I should request a refund.
My NT is on 1.4.0, rooted (Nook&Zergy) with OTAs blocked.
Has anyone figured out how to get this game working?

Please do not post the same question in multiple threads.

Sygic

Has anyone been able to run Sygic navigation on the Razr?
I bought the app last year and had been using it on previous devices with no problems but since I bought the Razr about a month ago (i'm running ICS stock) I cannot use Sygic. It attempts to start the app and then closes. I've emailed Sygic support twice already and no response and their support section on their website is not opening.
Any ideas?
Solved
I finally got it to work. I needed to clear an old Sygic folders in my sd card. I had kept the old files on the sd card cause of all the maps I had downloaded. I didn't think it was necessary cause I have used sygic on 3 devices and when I made the change from the fist device to the 2nd i kept the files and it worked fine. So i'm downloading all the maps again and it should be ready soon.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help.
Thread cleaned.
Do I really need to remind people that XDA is a warez free zone....
smh.......
