The Forest Run 3D game has not been available to purchase in full for some time now. I tried all possible legal and improvised methods: I contacted Microsoft, no answer; I reported the dead link; I even contacted the author of the game. Nothing so far, I tried to change the date and time on the phone years ago, nothing, I also tried to change the region to see if it is still available in another country, still nothing. It's about $1 the game costs, but no chance of purchase. If someone here can help me, I have an idea, a theory, maybe I'm wrong, but: the complete game cannot be purchased directly. The free version must be downloaded and from the free version you purchase the full version, so it is an in-app purchase. Therefore, the premium content of the game is already in its free version, it just needs to be unlocked. It's not about getting rid of ads, but about much more content inside it, I've been playing it since 2013, I love it to the max. I have the xap of the game, if anyone can help me edit such that I can fully unlock it or at least show me how to do it, and if I'm right, I'm gone do it myself. Or if someone here, have the full game, can give it to me

I just downloaded todays update. When I opened the app, I got a message that my phone is rooted (which it is) and to return to original firmware. Then the game shuts down and you can't play it. Is this going to start happening with all market apps??
Anyway to still play the game with the update and stay rooted??
Best thing to do would be to leave a 1 star rating for game with your comment. if the devs get enough they should stop caring if its rooted.
1 Star Review!!
Just did it, and there many others doing the same thing!!
Good call! Hopefully it will get the developers to do something about it!!
as much as I agree that its annoying, I understand where the dev is coming from. If you want to prevent your users from cheating, thats probably the easiest way to do it.
Cheating?
How does having a rooted phone enable any form of cheating?
The game plays the same as when the phone wasn't rooted??
It's not just annoying, it's also probably not legal. When i bought the game this was not a condition of purchase, what they did was change the rules months after they had no problem selling it to me. It would be a different story if that was a condition from title launch but you can't sell me the game and in-app items and then purposely disable it... Am I wrong??
At the very least they should refund us for the ole' switcheroo!
This is the reward I get for choosing not to pirate anything Android...they sure aren't making a strong case against it pulling horsecrap like this! Why do i have a feeling cracked copies won't have this issue (you know, the ones the cheaters will use anyway)...

if I'm not mistaken, in order to cheat (in almost any game), you'll need to modify files that are not accessible to the user unless they're rooted. I may be wrong, though.

But here's the problem: I'm rooted but haven't modified anything relating to the game. I paid for the game, never cheated, and now I can't play it. That's not logical rationale by any stretch...
They suggest that I unroot just to play a game. So I'd lose backup and cache cleaning and CM7 for one game to work. How is that reasonable??
I guess cheating in a GAME (may I just state again that this is all over a game) is more important than a functional device.
If they told me this before I bought it then I just wouldn't have bothered, nor would most Android users... Where iphone users barely know how to change their ringtones, we root and Rom, they should understand that or not bother...
I am really surprised non of the major Android blog sites have picked up on this...
I think it's poop, I agree with the notion of 1 star to the developer!
This is the email I just got back from the Dev:
Thank you for your inquiry.
Please expect the next update very soon. Previously blocked users will be able to access the game again.
We are sorry for this inconvenience.
However, please keep in mind, if you do have a rooted phone and have problems in the game with the future, it is recommended to turn your phone back to a stable OS environment.
Thank you for your patience.

I am going to post this document that I made into this thread later when I have the rights to post images/links. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Anyway, here is a word document that explains how to install Order and Chaos onto the Transformer Prime using a Chinese method.
ROOT REQUIRED TO GET THE GRAPHICS WORKING! Chainfire 3D is used to emulate a Qualcomm processor. Without this the game will not get past the "Play" button after character creation.
tegra2 apk of order and chaos works great on tf prime without any further patching and rooting. But its not legal to post it here, so you guys should look it up.
u could still pm me
can i be lost here?
ok so a brain fart, right?
why isn't it legal to post information about running a market game on the tab? is the tegra2 an illegal version of the game?
i'm just a little confused and have been interested in this game for a while so i wanted to post this to see if maybe there was a way that i could finger out a way to get it running on my tab...
not like i need an excuse to play another mmorpg erf.
any extrapolation of the above posts would be greatly beneficial to me and maybe other people as well.
thanks in advance
I'm assuming the game is paid so if you would post the .apk here it would be considered warez which is a no no

dood, i TOTALLY apologize for my stupids. so i did some research because when i saw your post, i thought ''theres no WAY i paid 7 bucks for that!". order and chaos ran on sale a while back for a buck. i got it then. my bad. can we please still be friends?
So I somehow managed to find a copy of Order and Chaos which worked perfectly on my unrooted prime, alone, and without the help of other hacks or apps. I found it simply by searching "Order and Chaos tegra 2". I have no idea if it was hacked or altered, but it just worked. It was able to download and log into version 1.0.9
As irony would have it, on the very same night I found a working version (3 or 4 nights ago at this point), my celebration was cut short when all the servers went down and updated to version 1.1.0. Of course now my 1.0.9 was unable to log into the servers and I haven't been able to find a working version of 1.1.0.
Its out there, a copy of 1.1.0 which doesn't require the rooting and altering initially suggested by this post. If anyone finds it, let us know where. It would be a remarkable feat and a great in-your-face to Gameloft.
I'm currently working on getting a 1.1.0 version working. So far I have it starting but then crashing before "Touch to Start Playing" pops up :/
Smahon I am in the same boat
if only we could get mc3 now -.-'

i would appreciate any info, as i have purchased this app on my galaxy s 2 when they ran it on sale a while back. i just think playing on the prime would be MUCH better

This website has the apk and data available for download, but it seems that the data downloads are specific to certain processors. Currently at work so unable to give it a try.

Looks like this does a device check like all the others . Worth the shot though, thank you.
In the meantime I've been having a nice time playing touchscreen World of Warcraft through Splashtop HD, and its working very nicely .
I hadn't realized that it does a device check *after* the data download. I thought the device check was initiated prior to the data download.
You can bypass the device check by downloading the cracked version by Muzhiwan (google it). However, I have been struggling to get it to get to the Main Menu. Crashes before Touch to Continue pops up. If anyone manages to get it to work it would be great.
I think the problem is the graphics renderer. It all works until graphics have to be rendered (loaded at touch to continue). Chainfire has had no luck so far getting this to work. :/
New update taking care of a lot of issues rwported by users.
Tried going the Muzhiean route but their PC software is in Chinese.

i bought the game today on my galaxy nexus. Played fine on it. Then i did a titanium backup, took the apk, then shared the apk to my TP.
Game loads up but a message pops up to say the device is not compatible but "you can try anyway". So i clicked OK. and bam... it just closes.
i guess the only way to get it on the TP is when gameloft decide its about time they fix it for us!

Not sure if this is the right forum.
I've created my first app, just a simple card game. I'm wondering if I should offer a paid ad-free version.
Right now its free with Admob. About 2500 active installs out of about 9000 total installs. It took about 1mo to get the first third, the 5mo for the second third, and 2.5mo for the last third. I've found that I get alot more new users whenever I have any sort of update to my app. With Ads, I've made about $1400 in about 9.5 months from 2.6M requests. Since its a game with ads, the longer a user plays, the more ads get shown and the more money I make.
If I have a paid version, I get a one time payment and then zero after that. I don't see charging more than a dollar or two. If I charged $1 and everyone that downloaded it bought it, I'd have $1750 and then thats it. If I waited a few months I'll have that much from ads.
It seems like I'm going to make much more just sticking with the ads. I'm new to all of this, am I missing something or does my logic seem sound.
Do an adfree version. Some of us don't like ads may I ask what app you made?

You're right ads are the way to go. Do you have any methods of sharing the app? That will bring more users and that means more income from ads.
Edit: I offer professional mobile marketing consulting if you're interested.
Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not Development forums.
Thread moved.
This is the app I made: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rcs.video_poker_trainer_dw
I actually made 3 apps but the code is 99% the same.
I've gotten some useful comments in the reviews but also some very confusing ones (like the last one)
Sharing? The app is on the market. I figure that's the best way to share it.
So far the biggest annoyance has been working with the layouts and getting them to look right on as many phones as possible.

Yes sharing. By just putting on the market you are doing passive marketing. By switching to active marketing you can get a higher number of active users and a higher income from ads.
I'd just like to post this to share my experience with the Gameloft support team. In the past I've read posts in which users complained about Gameloft's support, to the point which some users claimed it un-existent! However here's my take. I purchased Gangstar Rio: City of Saints for my Xperia S from the Play Store, after installing it I received an error saying that it was not comatible with my device. All I did was go back to the store and email them. Within a day of having filed my issue I received a response in which they apologised and gave me an alternate link to the game. Unfortunately the game stll did not work, I simply contacted them again and they replied within a day. They apologised again and said that they could not identify the issue but to compensate offered me a game of my choice from their store free of charge. This all took less than 2 days which in my opinion is extremely responsive. All I'm trying to say is if you have a problem just contact them, their support is really amazing and judging from previous posts has improved a lot! Well this was just my experience, feel free to share yours
when i tried contacting them, they replied once asking for my phone number, then sent me a barrage of push notifications trying to force my phone to start the WRONG game (not even the game that was faulty), and since then i've had no reply from them, despite trying to contact them again. at no point did they offer me a refund, or try and get my game working. never buying gameloft again.
Hello everybody,
Two days ago I have published a FREE game on windows phone store. Here is the link:
www(dothere)windowsphone.com/en-US/store/app/brave-furries/99d039e7-60f3-43ea-b666-7442e78ab24d
Anyway the game is a port from Android and iOS. I thought I will try WP8 this time as well (I have no experiance with this platform). After two days in the store I have NO reviews and the game is not even in new + rising section. MSFT says that download data will be available after 10 days (for new apps) but I already can tell that they will be horrible.
On iOS I had few hundred downloads on the first day and the app is PAID on iOS so I assumed it would be much better on WP8 where it is FREE. Maybe someone could check the app and let me know if I made any mistakes when publishing or the game is just crappy ?
Thanks for any feedback!
An interesting game, however, I think the main problem for not having reviews is that it is for polish market, although can be downloaded. Try advertising it a bit more

Thanks for your feedback. I am in Poland but do you say that it is not downloadable in other countries or is it "rather for polish customers"?
Also I have noticed that I included polish version link above. Sorry for this (changed to english).
It is downloadable, but I have found it just when searching specifically for it, when I saw everything on the link u left here. So if I do not know about the game or some app I cannot download it, because it won't be shown to me. That is the reason for which u have to advertise it more. Also, I am getting rather annoyed by the multiple "animations" between the levels... Would be also great to make it universal - for tablets and desktops... I don't like playing on my phone, but am enjoying it on my tablet.
Its quite an interesting game buddy
game looks nice
Thank you for the nice words and feedback. I will definately think of making the app universal if by any chance it will generate enough money for me to buy a tablet for testing
Did anyone try to buy the WIndows Phone advertising that can be purcheased on Dev Center page? What is the average user acquisition cost with this option ?
Btw. The game got featured in Germany today. If anyone would be intersted how many downloads it generated than please ask me in 4 days (SLA time).
