good gaming - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I am starting to think that thia phone not so awesome for gaming with titles like order and chaos and nova not being available. am I right? Should I return my phone for an IPhone4? Or should I wait abit for software compatibility?

Android is still developing in terms of the game department. iphone has slightly better apps and better gaming offerings because it has a bigger userbase, but android has better hardware, it just needs some polishing. if you want an iphone then get one. no sense in being unhappy. The 4S is a nice device but too much of an incremental upgrade. I got an ipad 2 and quickly grew weary of ios. so I got an android phone after the disappointing announcement of the 4S. for me it just wasn't what I needed at the moment, but that's not to say its a 'bad' device. if you want better games get an iphone. If you want to be able to tweak your device like crazy and have a fast and responsive phone with a big screen and 4G then keep this phone.

I just recently downloaded Nova 2 HD & its awesome!! Just sayin..

Step 3: Download TegraZone

How do you get nova on sghi777? Rooted? Mind giving me an outline?

The gaming will be fine on this phone. The big thing is Gameloft has yet to make their games on the Market listed as compatible with the i777. I can't imagine that will last too much longer.

I downloaded a whole package of gameloft games from another site( Google it) and have nova2 , assassins creed and quite a few more. All look and play top notch on this phone.

Gameloft is protesting the android market. Go to gameloft.com to get their titles, including nova, etc. This phone plays them beautifully, sure the iphone has a wide variety, but quality beats quantity eh?

Why are they protesting? I couldn't find any info on their site.

Yes get an iPhone 4. That's the perfect solution to not being able to figure something out that really only takes 3 minutes. I've been playing Nove2, Gangstar Miami HD, and a few others for a week now. Get stuck on an OS that decides what you will and should use. Don't keep the ability to make the phone EXACTLY how you want it.

Has something to do with the fact that google gets a certain % off of each sale same with apple. Only difference is since apple gives the developers no choice on how to sell the app on their platform gameloft has to deal with it, since google does give the developers a choice gameloft chooses to backout to get more money. Kind of a shame since if you really look at it gameloft would make more money if they would sell it on the google market place since users would be able to easily see it and not know that these games were even available outside of the market.

Getting the "device is not compatible" errors on when trying to play most of these games.

Help
So how do you get NDS on the Motorola Atrix?
And how would I get Pokemon Black/White ENGLISH roms to play on it?
Waste of $10 for a "beta" project. Definitely not paying that much money for an unfinished product.
it is sloooowww
thats why i have a 3DS and a acekard 2i so i can play free ds games. XD later on maybe i can play free 3ds games but for now ill buy my 3ds games. XDD
I have my ways of acquiring this app and thank god I didnt buy it. It is VERY SLOW. Im guessing it hasnt been optimized yet for dual core. I think mine was running on 5fps. I tried playing Advance Wars: Days of Ruin.....very very slow. I didnt bother trying other games since it was a major turn off.
Ill support once the bugs are sorted out.
Yeah its still slow with the current update 1.1.2. I just cant wait till i can play super scribblenauts at a decent speed then I will be fine. Currently it is playable but it slow but playable if you just want to spawn stuff.

Cut the Rope

Cut the rope is out for Android, just go to:
m.getjar.com
and select quick download. Enter 75206 to download the apk.
I find it extremely odd that a random site that host nothing but free games is outting a paid game for free... Additionally, nothing was announced. But, I have nothing to lose, so I'm going to install it.

if you go to Zeptolab's homepage (game Dev) their link to get the game takes to to the getjar link. Rovio did the same thing when they initially released Angry birds on Android... GetJar for beta/initial release and then the main Android Market. for now just like Angry Birds, Cut The Rope is free because it is Ad-Supported.
if you just want to go through ZL to get the link here is their site http://zeptolab.com/
Just noticed it, but that's pretty awesome, I'm just curious as to why it was released so quietly.
my guess is they are just dipping their toe in to see how popular it is before putting it on the "main" Market with a pay version to get rid of ads... but that is just a guess
This game is awesome =]

as much as I hate to say it, but I agree... for killing time while getting loaded/unloaded this has become my new frustrating digital crack. sure there are other games out there with much better graphics and such but when you're just looking to kill 15 mins then this ranks right with Plants vs Zombies, Stupid Zombies and the entire Angry Birds family of games
Man this sucks I had made it to Valentine's day box on my vibrant but I traded it for a Mytouch 4g and had to factory reset the phone

ALL Gameloft games 99c! Modern Combat 3 included today! (1/2/12)

Modern Combat 3 is now included.
This is a perfect time for my Atrix to act up and be greyed out on the Market.
Bought backstab on Xoom this morning ^_^ about a complete rip of assassins creed but love AC so all smiles here. Waiting for MC3 as well! Have nova2 & asphalt 6 already. Is 9mm worthwhile?

What I do not understand is why create do huge data files?
I purchased tin tin and bowling.
Its having freaking 900 MB data files.
I need some alternative to download over wifi as my wifi ain't that great to download huge data without any download manager.
Its poorly coded I think as it does not support background download nor it has resumption from last download.
It will state again from square one.
Already cancelled one app.
Also I do not understand why nova 2 and many more apps are incompatible with atrix and photon.
I think gameloft hates tegra 2

I bought 9mm, really I'm just thinking forward to when I have an Android tablet. I had previously bought 9mm on the iPad and hadn't even tried it out on there yet. But I did play for a minute on the Atrix and it looked good, but I already knew I wouldn't like the touch controls, I never do with FPStouch. If you are planning on using a game controller with it then you are good to go, but I didn't have a chance to test that method since I purchased.

I agree, the data files are HUGE! But I was able to resume a download.. Not sure why N2 and the others are not compatible.
It really sucked because I went into the market and all the good games arent there lmao so much for $0.99
I loved 9mm! it is really a wonderful game, has great grafics, long story, and the on-screen controls are good.
I dont think that gameloft hates just the Atrix, but all the qHD devices, coz the incompatibility of some games are not specificated to the atrix alone, but to all the qHD devices. I did try to install some games that supposed to be incompatible and they worked fine (more or less) but on 2/3 screen.
I personally love the gameloft games that do work, I play them constantly...

outta curiosity what's your ROM? I don't believe they give you an option, which seems they could easily, but it probably goes to /sdcard/gameloft/"mc3" probably easiest to move something else manually. Short of running Cyanogen just to get internal to show emmc and sdcard , sdcard ^_^ it maybe easier thanI think but... Sorry

I hate gameloft for their ****ty quality servers.
Wasted almost 10gb data on three games and got just one working.
I hate gameloft download servers.
MC3 would have been fun to try out
Finally managed to get mc3 running.
Used screen on app from market. Kept phone on dock For charging. But i still want alternative method to download data with download manager and. Then. Copy it to mobile.
I wasted so much of data download.
Guys,
I contacted Gameloft support,but they refuse to solve this buggy servers.
How I managed is this way.
I realised two problems,
Wifi sleep policy and phone screen getting switched off after some time.
I fixed it as follows,
Set wifi sleep policy as never.
Installed screen on app from market.
I enabled it for all these games and put phone on charger and downloading.
So in morning I found my games downloaded
I would have been happy camper if the games files were available for download on pc and then transfer it to device.
Only Gameloft games are huge to download and ea games are not so huge.

Can you recommended one? I've never had to do that.
Edit: I tried the Eris market fixer and now it shows modern combat but it says its not compatible.
A friend at work has a Droid bionic, I logged into my account with his phone and bought modern combat. Can't download it to my phone yet, but at least I got it while it was only 50 cents.

Also happened with Sleepy Jack I purchased in December. WTF stupid market.
So here's a messed up update, I decided to play with slim ics again and now modern combat 3 shows and let's me purchase in the market. You know, once its back up to $6.99 again...
The sad part is I'll probably still buy it cause I've been wanting it for a while.
Edit: so now it shows but if I try to purchase the game the market gives me an error saying it can't be found. It only does it for this app, all others work fine.
Edit again: never mind, got it to work.
I was able to play dead space when I was on a GB ROM (JetPack), but now that I'm using ICS ROM, the game says that the app is not authorized for use on my device.
I'm currently Using ICZen rc1.3 with Subzero build 18 Kernel and i can play both games on my phone.
This is because you're on ICS. You can edit your build.prop, but it'd be easier to go to GB/Froyo if you want download and play them.
Had this issue trying to download GT Racing Academy when I was on this rom.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
I didn't need to edit my build.prop, i just searched in the app store and bought them wile they where on sale.
its kind of weird that this happens, both games run great on the vibrant,i don't even need to over clock either. They run just as good on ics as they did on froyo for me
not sure if deadspace is a full game or demo on samsung apps. But I got it at no cost.. I looked around if its a demo or not last time but I couldnt find it

Fpse requires you to force mono core for some games to work. While a bios will provide more accurate emulation, I've found it considerably slower than running on software alone. Without using the BIOS file the emulator will revert to HLE, which can better use the hardware in your phone.
Final Fantasy III in the Play Store is great news. Anyone know if they will bring FF and FF II as well? I wish they'd hurry up and bring us a decent FFVI remake. I've given up holding my breath for an FFVII remake on any platform.

Interesting info about playing without bios. I always thought that quick saves wouldn't work without bios. Is that not correct? I always gotta click force mono core. I mostly play ff7 and ff9.

Nice, it's a little spendy but worth the price for the high res if you're a final fantasy fan. I really hope they port the other games that they have released for iOS as well.
