It's not a game that I've ever tried, but do you have the original game files as mentioned above?

Yes I got the original game files, but I'm stuck at blank screen.
In case anyone is wondering what it is, this is working on Xoom

i had this working both with the downloaded demo files as well as the original files on my galaxy tab 10.1
After some updates the beginning of the month I'm also now only getting the black screen.
After some googling, it seems that this is some display problem with sdl on this build. You can actually hear the music going with the black screen. Perhaps trying an older version, compiling our own version or.contacting the developer is our only options. I'd very much like this to work again.

Oh ok, I thought I was the only one.
Alternatively you could try VCMI for HOMM 3, its working on my tab

I'm sorry, are you sure about HOMM 3?
UPD:
Found topic about VCMI. It's very great thing!!! I thought that I'll never see HOMM 3 on android.
freonix, thank you!

So does anyone else have any chance on HOMM 2 on Free Heroes 2?
VCMI for HOMM3 kept crashing on me

I got a black screen on my Asus Transformer.
I can hear the sound and if I manage to go blindly through the interface I can start a new game (I hear the grass or sea sound) but I cannot see anything, just black screen.
The game works fine on my HTC Desire HD. The VCMI doesn't work neither on the DHD nor the AT.
I wrote the author an email about the problem I had, hope he reads it soon!
Kind regards.

Doom 4 PPC on SX56?

Anyone ever installed Doom on their SX56? Was it easy? Any issues?
Thank you.
Is there any release for this device?
Found just this site here: http://www.jimmysoftware.com/Software/Doom4CE/download.asp, but never tried it....
Maybe you will test it and report to us....
Stefan
Have tried this, along with the quake port, on both the XDA and the XDA II. I think that these are similar to SX56?
Both definitely work, and you can also use the demo wad files, if you don't own a copy of the original.
Have had plenty of entertaining train journeys playing with these ports - the obvious downside is that the screen size makes playing rather tricky. I did have some problems running the doom4ce in ful screen mode, as it was difficult to quit.
So which would I install for the SX56? The site http://www.jimmysoftware.com/Software/Doom4CE/download.asp lists download for Casio, HGP, and Compaq.
Does anyone have a location where I can load all of the files at once?
I saw a shrink wrapped CD for Doom for PocketPC at CompUSA yesterday too!
Thanks.
Hi frascona, here is a link to a DOOM download for the pocket PC.
I hope this is what you want as you referred to it as DOOM 4?
I have tried this on a XDA 1 and it worked ok.
The XDA 1 is the same as the SX56.
I hope this works for you.
DOOM
Hi frascona, SORRY forgot the link DOH
Here it is http://www.vadino.com/pocket-pc/games/action/gfdoom.html
Thanks for the link, but I have looked up and down that page and I cannot find the link to download the program. HELP!!
Use This:
http://www.turjah.com/trial/Doom_iPaq.zip
Worked for me with the dem-Version of the Doom-WAD......
Stefan
i had quake1 running on my wallaby once it was pretty easy
Thanks. Where can I get the demo version of Doom WAD?
http://www.turjah.com/trial/doom1wad.zip
Thanks. So I just install the two files? Anything else I should know before trying?
Thanks again.
Quake works great, Doom not so great...
After fighting with Doom for so long, I tried out Quake and had no issues at all. I did have to change the cfg file, but I used someon's post for the XDA (instead of Smartphone) and all works fine.
Doom, on the other hand, did not. I can get Doom to load up, but I cannot get an action button to work. I have to reset to get out of the game.
So, I'll play Quake for awhile.
I sure do wish someone could help me get Duke3D going!!!
Andy
read this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11579&highlight=duke3d
it works 100% on my xda2
Yeah, I saw that, but my action on my XDA1 does not work at all...

This version of Movie Studio is 1.1 in the link above...it WILL NOT run on my machine. FORCE CLOSE every time. Cannot get it to open
I have only been able to get 1.0 to run and even then it's not right.
The editing screen is all screwd up, not in color and you cant export your work.
Any other ideas guys?

Jestream Support/Movie studio
I hate to say it BUT the complete lack of support on this tablet really shows me how few people have bought this thing.
I love it....I have a rooted inspire and it is like an extension of my phone BUT getting any questions answered from the 3 other people that bought one is beyond slow....LOL
I'ts like no one has this thing.
ROOT? Would love it but dont see it happening any time soon....Since there are only 3 of us that own a Jetstream.....
Really weird that I cant find ANYTHING out about Movie Studio that is not 9 months old. I'ts like they announced it and released it to a few tablets and that's it? Is there no support for this?
Tracy
Agree, the silence is deafening

[Q] Asphalt 5 on gtabcombover 3.4.1

I had purchased Asphalt 5 from Amazon for my g tablet when I was running Tnt 4.40 and it worked fine. I just installed gtabcombover 3.4.1 and now all I get is a box that briefly displays "Sorry, cannot play video." Does anyone have any ideas on getting it to work? Their support is useless; they just say that the g tablet isn't a supported device and to talk to Amazon because they shouldn't have sold it.
There is a decent chance that you won't be able to get it to work on GTabCombOver because, like all the other current honeycomb roms, it doesn't support hardware accellerated video. But run GetLogs right after running Asphalt and get me the result. I'll look at it and see if there is a possible fix.
Thanks for the reply...I kind of wondered if it wasn't hardware accelleration related.
Anyway, I've got GetLogs installed but can't find any information on what to do with it. I've got all three check boxes checked. There are 3 buttons: Add (for a mask string), PasteBin!, and Just a File. I've clicked on all of them but don't know what it is doing. I assume it is creating a file somewhere but what is the file called and where is it?
The file should be in /sdcard/Android/apps/com.GetLogs/data/. You can see the GetLogs thread for more information on GetLogs.
Weird. GetLogs wouldn't work so I downloaded the source and stepped through it. Then it worked. Anyway, I've PM'd the log to you.

actually update wouldnt resolve it... instagram use OpenGL 2.2 and Galaxy Y has OpenGL 1.1
words from Instagram Inc
new version 1.0.1 but I see the same black pictures..
Well, samsung sure messed up, giving our model an outdated openGL plugin.
I haven't a clue about how to port, or update the openGL plugin version on a phone, but could someone from the developer section care to enlighten us? As in, is someone genius enough to attempt to update our openGL to 2.2, from 1.1, or is it impossible?
I don't know if chainfire3d would be able to work with it, I'm not sure :-(
What worries me, is even in the chainfire3d thread, it states your device should have openGL 2.0 for it to work. And that IS confusing, as I use it successfully, to make gta 3 ten year anniversary game work , along with others.
So if someone is reading this from developer section, who makes custom roms, or knows how to update the openGL.so driver, then please enlighten us.
Why oh why though, did instagram have to choose 2.2?
Why not create their app, using simpler filter effect methods, like how picplz, etc use?
Anyways, hope someone with some brains knows the score LOL.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using Tapatalk
And just for the record - I like or would like to use instagram for android more for the Social network elements, more than the actual filters, applied to photos. I know there are other applications that do it better, but it's just the instagram buzz - their service, when you use the new app, as a glorified photo viewer, seems to me like they have pretty much their own Social network in the app, how working follow users on instagram, similar to how you follow people on twitter.
So unless instagram use some backyard compatible openGL, or incorporated the 2.2 plugin in the app, then were screwed. Hell would freeze before I admit defeat and buy that phone beginning with "a" that is a dirty word here lolz
So I hope someone from dev section can sensibly help, or suggest what could be done.
Can chainfire3d be used, to update a plugin to make instagram think it's running 2.2, or something?
I really don't know LOL. So hopefully someone who does know will see this and reply ;-)
Thanks in advance.

According to this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512749) sgy's GPU is OpenGL ES 2.0 and according to Instagram support (http://help.instagram.com/customer/portal/articles/168158-supported-os-devices) it will run on any camera phone with Android 2.2 or above with support for OpenGL ES 2.
I don't see why it doesn't work on sgy.
Last night I went out an update, but still not working: (
According to bechmark app Quadrant Standard this phone is equipped with OpenGL ES 2.0. I think that Instgram could have troubles with QVGA resolution.

I don't think so. My friend has Galaxy Mini (Pop/Tass) and it works fine.

Google is your friend. Search it. That's what I did, and it works (off topic)
It's chainfire3d that needs openGL, AND it's gta 3 that needs just plugins you can install in chainfire3d, to get it to work. The actual plugins aren't the webGL part.
(Back on topic)
Hmmm, it's working on galaxy mini? Has that got ldpi, QVGA screen too?
I've seen @instagramhelp on twitter tell someone that our device only had 1.1 openGL, but clearly they don't know $#&t!
Well, I don't know if galaxy g5 is similar to mini, but I will try on that phone, as it's got cm7 (psyke's madrom port) on it.
If you look at the help, @instagramhelp are giving on twitter too, you'll want to scream at them lol, they're lliterally copy and pasting a generic answer to anyone who has a android device, which shows you something ;-)
Anyways i'll try my other phone, and just keep an eye open for it here and in play store

Yes it does. Somehow it gave me the regret on why it doesn't work well on our device.
And I do doubt if they can answer anything about the problems. I tweeted to them last night, still waiting for reply.
our device had 2.0 from the number version on build.prop says 131072 since 65537 is 1.1
what's causing it to work is may because of our phone's GPU..

Thanks for reply ;-)
They only give me a copy and paste answer about phone model and OS version :-(
They mention the black squares issue on their know issues page, and trying to fix it, but they only mention galaxy s 2, not our galaxy y.
But who knows, perhaps it might work then, but I really don't know.
All I know is that I was looking forward to getting instagram for android for months.
I wish they'd of just done the filter technology more android friendly, like how camera 360, or picplz is :-(
Anyways, thanks!

if you really want a nice Instagram clone, search Play Store for "Pixlr-o-matic"

I can suggest Lightbox, it has an advanced camera and it's community oriented just like Instagram. But I think we're going a little bit off topic.
But there's really something that makes Instagram different from other apps. Let me just go OT for a while: back then I keep on using Pixlr-o-matic + CameraZoom FX, then share to Facebook. Nothing fancy though. Not until this app was released. Took a pic, and shared, then a different feeling came out of me. Perhaps since I think that having it's own app + personal site to view the photo/s makes the big difference.

[Q/request] Parallel SBS xposed module vr for just about everything

Ok question which i'm sure this is more of a easier said then done but here it goes!
Is it possible to make a xposed framework plugin that allow SBS cloning of your android phone's screen?
i'm thinking something similar to how xhalo floating window works but it runs, basically everything in sbs not just a window so we could in effect run out phones launchers an such wihtout using a custom SBS launcher.
This should let us also run some games in a compatibility mode and run most apps in this manor.
Would have to use a bluetooth input device like mice an keyboard to interact with our phone when its in a vr dock but just a idea/question to shoot out there!
It's still in alpha
