i just want to let you guy know that there is new android humble bundle, with awesome games http://www.humblebundle.com/ There is even a port of great RPG Avadon from iOS to android, it plays great
Jumped on this the moment I got the notice! Can't beat getting a great deal and helping out some charities.
Bought mine yesterday as well. Great stuff!
Games Working?
Have you guys had any luck getting Swords and Soldiers to work on your Primes? Mine just closes on the main menu, the Humble Bundle support site says that the Prime isn't supported.

i have it working first run it closed then after a reboot all went well
I bought it a few days ago for the official canabalt release, I had an unofficial release but wanted the actual android release. The cogs game was pretty neat too.
Only donated a few cents which went to the developers. Don't really believe in donating to charities because I don't trust they can spend my money helping people as efficiently as I can - to where I can see a visible impact.
I picked it up last night. all the games work well (including S&S ) and i cant complain about the deal. Its about time we saw Zen Bound on android.

You mean here on xda, or in general? Now that it has been out for more than a week I am seeing more activity. On Friday all the blogs figured out the 3.2 update was out, though I installed it last Saturday. I wonder if a lot of people were hoping to see a fire sale like with the HP.
I think its too early. Sony S is released only in some regions as of now, m waiting for its release in Singapore!!!
Too early to tell. I have one, and it came before the official release date. Put my review up and the number of hits has grown every day since. The other reviews out there are generally positive, so I imagine it'll just take users time to find the forums.
Its just too early to tell. Its only been out in the states since what the 16th or 17th of September. It will pick up, mainly just for the Playstation Certified, thats the main reason I picked it up.
Bought one myself, hoping the community picks up as you said. If only the Playstation Certified meant something, it might increase sales.
I just ordered one and will be joining the gang soon...
Its too pricey IMHO...any tablet that is not ipad needs to be in the $350-400 range if not lower to gain acceptance from the masses.
I got one at Fry's on Sunday, just set it up tonight, and really liking it so far... Thought it was kinda "meh" at first, but after an hour of playing around, I like it better than my Galaxy Tab 10.1. Feels faster & more responsive than any other Honeycomb tab I've tried before.
My favorite feature by far is the built in IR blaster. No one has that (yet)!
Just posted in the apps section that the Video Unlimited app now seems to do something, it will hopefully be a pretty cool addition when it is full of movies and not just 5 lame 99p rentals.

The Vizio 8" tablet also comes with an IR blaster and remote control app. Some companies have realized most people don't leave the house with tablets, and the most common place they are used is while on the sofa or lazy-boy while also watching TV. I just wish the remote control apps were macro-capable. So far none are.
the viso has, almost got it but luckily I found the STS
I have an Sony Tablet S (16gb version) brought it in November 2011, loved it since then, only wish there was more games that was compatible with this tablet, and im still waiting for oovoo to do another update so it can support this tablet!!
Just got a Sony S Tab yesterday and was wondering, is there any hope for rooting this superb device?
I have looked around and it seems like know one has managed this yet. My main reason would be to change build prop so that i would be able to play games like 9mm, modern combat 3 and tintin.
So, have i bought a great tab just to play games like angry birds and the like.
Any advise would be great.
Cheers,
David
Root will come eventually.You've just got to be patient
I'm also really hoping the tablet s gets rooted. There's a bounty going in the developer thread for almost $1000 for anyone who can figure out how to do it, so hopefully that'll entice someone to do it.
As for running those incompatible games we're pretty stuck for now. I honestly think everyone should be emailing gameloft asking for them to just fix it so we can buy their stuff. Surely they'd do something if they thought the demand was high enough... but then again who knows lol
Either way, we're going to have to be patient and wait for root. Hopefully someone else may know a method to make the games work now so that's worth researching tho
Patients is my middle name....NOT. I WANT IT NOW.Sorry, i got carried away. Gameloft could make alot more money if they expanded their coverage on different devices. With all that loveliness of a big screen, 1gb ram, Tegra2 and super resolution you would think they would have the knowledge to integrate their games.
Anyways, enough of my ranting, i wish i was technically minded, i would take the money and make this a incredible experience for all.
D.
My guess is if you could force it to load, they'd work just fine.. being tegra2 and all. I emailed them requesting their support of the tablet, listing in-compatible games.
Also questioned as to why you can get N.O.V.A. 2 off their website as a demo with ingame purchase of the full game, that works just fine, yet it is "incompatible" on the android market. To this they said "we have no information specific to the title you are inquiring about".
Got the general, allthough there are no set plans, yadayada, developers working hard, blah, your suggestions are forwarded to our dev team.
etc!
So yeah I agree, shout loud enough and we'll be heard.
Download N64oid and play Mario 64 ;]
I think Tin Tin works. I think i played it on my tablet.
If TinTin works then I am really confused. On the Marketplace it does not show up.
Check this out! Sony Tablet S has been successfully rooted
I know, if this baby gets rooted then it will make my day
Root's finally arrived guys! Just check over at the development forums.
Now that i have root would anyone have a suitable build prop to "trick" marketplace so that i may install my gameloft games?
Cheers, happy days, eh.
David
Quick heads up. Changed build prop and games now show up in marketplace and install and run perfect
Model=A500
device=acer
Name=picasso_generic1
device=picasso
Ps. Thats it,all my internal memory is run dry, I have a 32gb sd card just sitting their but games dont see the sd card because Sony set this up all wrong.
So, I bit the bullet and bought a Prime, I had talked myself out of it about 9 million times, was going to buy a used one from chin-a-ling (sorry mate) but my fiancee pushed me, and pushed me and I finally bought one... I am in love.
But the title says it all, I am wondering what the future is going to be. My hope is to end up being able to play Portal on this thing one day. With the fact that Bethesda has mentioned possible tablet ports of older titles, Valve has always been one to examine all unique possibilities. It would be incredible to be Chell running through the hall way, aiming and then tapping where I want the portal
Anyways, what does everyone else think? Looking forward to seeing what the major companies might do? Games you hope to see ported or even developed as a standalone counterpart from your favorite series?

I think tablet gaming especially on iOS has a bright future. Some of iOS's best exclusives have trickled their way to Android. But there is still a lot to be desired on the Android platform as far as games go. Currently EPIC is making fantastic games for iOS through ChAIR Entertainment. Hopefully they will one day embrace Android.
Well ios has infinity blade and usually gets games a bit earlier. That's about it IMHO.
Android has amazing emulators and most importantly full gamepad support.
There are also some really nice looking tegra3 exclusives coming. Definately infinity blade lvl of graphics.
I'd say the future is bright. Me personally I'm hoping for point and click adventures getting big on tablets. They perfect for touch control.
Gaming on tablets and Prime will be SICK! Just watch. Already amazed at the types of games I'm playing already. And I don't play b.s. ones like angry birds or whatever. Lol hardcore gamer here.
I used to be a hardcore gamer before I joined the Navy but after I got out I haven't had time with school, but I am a huge Portal/Half Life Fan, as well as a few of the other artsy FPS games e.g. Mirrors Edge. I KNOW the Tegra 3 can handle it, it is a matter of whether or not the big guys will believe in the future of tablet/mobile gaming. It is a growing segment of serious gamers, and I think that tablet ownership would increase as games become more innovative/complex.

And it works like a charm. It never ceases to amaze me that the first time I played day of the tentacle I had to clear my 40MB(!) hdd before I could install it, was supplied om an enormous amount of floppy disks, took ages to install and now I can play it on a apparatus small enough to fit in my pocket (in case of my galaxy nexus)...
They need to bring the Broken sword series to Android. I have both games on Ipad n loved them. Like a touch point n click. Graphics n storyline is very good.
I installed onlive and am playing all sorts of pc games.
It works great with the Xbox 360 controller.
Onlive? Huh, I'll check it out! Thanks for the idea!

There's an app or method to get apps not available in your area or whatever. I forgot what it was. I would think as long as you have a decent to fast internet connection, Onlive should work fine for you. Plus its a free app so technically someone could upload the free apk for you to use. Worth a shot.

that wouldn't even matter. he just make a free account then sign in. there's nothing in the app that's esteeming location, I don't think. I would think as long as he make an account, which is just providing email address and making a user name, he would be good. worth a try. nothing to lose.
First I would like to apologize if I am posting this in the wrong thread. And Also I would like to thank you all for your work here. You have given new life to my old arc s. And I have learned sooo much in so little time here for which I cant thank you enough. Now on to my request
Recently nvidia showed off project shield and it looks amazing. But what I find most amazing about it is the fact that it can play games streamed from your pc to steam. I am sure that is possible even on the current devices. I would love for you guys to give it a try. I am currently in Pakistan where buying original games etc is a pain in the ass as everything is sold pirated. I respect the developers time and like to buy my stuff original even if I have to wait for it hence I by everything off steam (when the gone sale ). As such services like onlive are not available in my area. I am sure if you guys can bring this same concept to our current devices it would be great to run games of my phone that run on my pc will be a dream come true... hoping for your positive response.
So you gave your kid your old phone and would like to play a head to head game together?
But the phone is not activated (so no data) and you are in the car (so no wifi).
Bluetooth becomes your only option.
But since I haven’t been able to find much yet (including searches here on xda), I’ll post what I have found and hope that you can post what you’ve found.
*Let's keep wifi games for a different thread; this is just for Bluetooth (or any other means of direct communication with 2 non-activated phones).
And for any parents, this also allows brother and sister to play against each other.
That way they can fight with their phones, not with their fists! ☺
-Slot car racing (my favorite so far) *it has a 3d in car-view that is great!

It also has a build your own track option.
-Umz mini Games (my daughter likes the balloon pop one)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.umzgames.umg&hl=en
-Bluetooth games (these are poor quality but do provide competition)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=www.JvK.BTGames&hl=en
-This is a great one if you like ping pong. No matter what I do I can not beat my son.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sensedevil.VTT
cool. wonder if theres a tweak out there or if someone could make a mod of sorts to have Bluetooth emulate wifi for wireless play like this? would enable more games id think. probably much easier said than done though.
There's also POU. Various PvP games playable via bluetooth.
Umz Mini Games - THANKS

Pou is also a very good one, already been recommended.
That's awesome. Please post here when the update is available!

OK I've just posted the update to the market, it should be available now.
I've made major changes to the UI and game engine so I had to remove alot to rebuild.
Give me your opinion and let me know what you want to see back in the game, or new in the game for the next update in 2 ish months :good:
Hello @UmzGames:
Nice games. Do you consider to publish them on fdroid as well?

What would that be? Another platform? I've posted it to Google Play and Amazon so far.
UmzGames, thanks for the update. Love the new menu and other features, and still love playing those games with my daughter.
I've added another bluetooth game to the OP.
Please keep looking for other great bluetooth games!
