When will games be compatible with the Razr? - Motorola Droid RAZR

I'm kind of thrown off that a large portion of games, seeming to be the premium ones, aren't available on the Razr.
The phone obviously runs gingerbread and the hardware isn't that new? What's the usual time table for games and apps gaining compatibility with new android phones?

GTA 3 was updated to support the razr last week.
Apply the high setting file here on XDA and you get better fps with MUCH prettier graphics.
Sentinel 3 works great at "HD" mode.
Most of the 3D games I tried work great, was one robot shooter thingy that lagged, but I blame the coders for that.
I pretty much purchased every single 10 cent game during the sale, and all of them worked fine.

I'm a bit annoyed by this too. I was hopeing to get access to Gameloft and EA Games entire library, but instead I'm left with only a few. I didn't ditch Symbian for this lol.

Must be something regional.
I have these from EA:
Worms
NFS Shift
Sims 3
Tetris
SPY Mouse
FIFA 10
Sim City
Bejeweled
Dead Space
Plants vs Zombies
NFS Hot Pursuit
And some more.
From Gameloft I have:
Ass Creed
Tintin
Texas holdem
Cowboys and Aliens
Immortals
Uno
Waldo
Diamond Twister 2
Asphalt
Driver SF
And some small games more.

Yeah I was really looking forward to playing order and chaos on my razr. Not compatible though. That's kind of a joke.

I wonder if shadow gun is any good...

Shadow Gun works fine but the list of games that we can't even purchase is far to big. Where are the Modern Combat games? Madden? Tiger and a bunch of other awesome games I have been told to try but aren't available.
Is this normal for Android? Does the Resound and Galaxy S2 devices face the same issue?

The Galaxy S2 series has some issues with games. HTC phones seem to play everything I've tried just fine though.

Basically the current (Blur) build has to be approved by Google. That's the response I got from the android team when I emailed them.

They're all variations of OMAP hardware, which is more or less universal, the devs pretty much only need to add a string where it says razr compatible.
Part lazy devs, part slow updates to market.

Is there anything we can do to sort of elbow our way into playing the games? On some of the Gameloft game's comments, I read of users basically spoofing their phone's model, to get the games to run. Is there any way we could do the same? I'm absolutely /dying/ to play Order & Chaos with a friend, and it's disheartening to see the devs have so little interest in bringing the game to such a popular device. I bought this phone because of it's processing power, so the fact that there are so few good games available is really depressing.

I am playing Order and Chaos on my Droid Razr with mutlisampling at 1.4ghz.
1. Find the file build.prop in /system. You will need root access and a file manager like ES File explorer to edit this file. Open the file in any text editor and change these values. ***If you are having trouble at this point google how to edit build.prop file or something...***
ro.product.board=solana
ro.product.device=cdma_solana
ro.product.model=DROID3
ro.product.name=solana_vzw
Reboot
2. Go into the android market or Gameloft's website, find your desired game and install it. ***I Found that the phone becomes very buggy at this point. My fix was to make the screen time out never, turn off data, and turn off auto rotate screen. You may not find this necessary.***
3. Once you have your game installed and working properly (make sure you have ran the game and downloaded any additional data required to play), open your build.prop file one more time and change the values back.
ro.product.board=spyder
ro.product.device=cdma_spyder
ro.product.model=DROID RAZR
ro.product.name=spyder_vzw
Reboot
Voila! Game should still work and your phone should work great.

Ummm quick question, how did you manage to OC to 1.4ghz? Any links?
Secondly, Couldnt we use some kind of market enabler instead of changing the Phone's info (name, model etc)

Thank you so much, I will definitely be trying this tomorrow. I've only two questions left:
1.) How did you purchase the game? It won't let me...
2.) Will it still let you connect to their servers? Is there anyway I could test the game first to make sure it works, before I invest in it?

I am a n00b and this forum wont let me post links. This is just what worked for me.
To overclock go to droidrzr.com and search for a thread named overclocking your droid razr. Some people have reported stable at 1.8 ghz
Sent from my rooted DROID RAZR.

OK so I just found a safer faster easier way to do this. Should work with any incompatible game. I posted a guide explaining it. I can't post links yet but you should find it easy in a search for odder and chaos.

They are purchased through the gameloft site, not the market
However, keep a copy of the downloaded files. I did a factory reset and the web site doesn't list them as part of my downloads. Best to buy games from the market, I guess. Gameloft wants a bit more info than my time is worth, or no doubt I could get it fixed.

After messing with me phone a bit, the whole re download part of gameloft is screwy for my purchases, I don't know what firmware I bought what with, and the site detects your phone to determine what games you are allowed to get. Not sure if it's all Gameloft's fault since they had a 2 for 1 sale on 3 games that I used twice, so the site kept telling me to download a free game I already had installed, they them updated the website. Also Nova refuses to download content, support sent me a link for a new download, no diff. I lost let's golf 2 altogether, support ignores me on that one. Annoying, I would stay away from any games that are not from the market if you are into changing firmware/themes/wallpaper/display brightness, OK, maybe not the last 2. And backup whatever you get, however restoring the data doesn't guarantee that the game will use it. It's hit or miss with Gameloft. Makes me want to go to pirate bay to get copies of my purchased games. Not that I have been playing any of them lately, lol.
The NVIDIA pinball game is interesting, paper 3d glasses support.
Cheers!
Ok i am a little confused here. When i got to the site on my phone it says it isnt supported. When i go through the browser, there arent any ATT phones listed ( i assume its because they block sideloading). Can i just choose tmobile, download the apk, sideload it on my phone, and it work? Really wanting dungeon hunter 2. Has anyone had success w/ downloading from the above method?
hi im new here (been creeping as anonymous for a week now lol)
Might anyone have experience with gameloft apk files working on the atrix?
I use sideload wonder machine to install them to my phone
but they all require additional download when i open the app
that usually fails (dungeon hunter 2, eternal legacy, nova)
or it completes and then theres missing pictures all over, like white and the game crashes after a bit.
ive found some files that contains both the apk and a zip folder.
im assuming the zip is for the "additional download" but i have no idea how to install them.
solutions anyone?

lol, i used SWM too. works awesomely.
umm, also had the install freeze glitch. it only freezes when your phone goes into sleep mode or when you try to multitask while its installing.
solution is to go into settings, disable the screen timeout so the screen doesnt turn off (and so your phone doesnt autosleep) and just leave your phone plugged into the wall socket while downloading over wifi. worked for me.
currently trying gt racing. it looks good, but lots of jaggies. antialiasing would be nice, but given our atrix's higher resolution, i dont think it would have enough grunt to run AA (ignoring the fact that tegra 2 doesnt seem to do AA).
sadly, the only way i have found to get any games working is through mobilism (bad word?). i guess if they want my money, they'll open up to att now that the 3rd party sources is open. or is that when official 2.3.4 comes out? idk, it's whatever, the atrix has a very limited amount of gameloft choices anyways. they probably have versions for our phones, but the atrix is kinda unique in it's design. does anybody else know of a non-att, qvga, tegra device? when one does land or maybe when ginger lands officially we'll get versions for our phone made available.
Asphalt 6 runs very well. And dungeon hunter 2 works too. I've bought Nova too once but I gave up the idea of installing it because the gameloft's politic on purchases sucks.
And I much prefer my emulators! I have a bunch of em working smoothly you should try fpse, it's great!

So does this make all the tegra2 games show up in the market or do you have to track them down elsewhere?

Is Riptide in the market typically for tegra based phones? If so then it didn't show up for me after I installed everything and did the market fix.

*libGLEMU_QUALCOMM.zip
*libGLEMU_NVIDIA.zip
*libGLEMU_POWERVR.zip
these each contain a .so file...
I have installed them all, but am wondering which I should default, PowerVR, or Nvidia. As far as I know, PowerVR is something to do with Tegra2, perhaps more efficient than the Nvidia T2.so ? Idk. Someone here knows... Tell us.
here is all 3... Unzip the first file, keep the .so files in the zip, and load them in CF3D (as .zips)

Has anyone else tried Galaxy on Fire 2 THD? I tried to install the SD files via wifi and 3G but kept on receiving read errors so I installed some SD files that I found on a file hosting site that claimed to be for the THD version.
I then ran the app but it's not displaying properly. It's not black and white but it's definitely unplayable with some garbled textures and missing objects like the menu. I'm pretty sure that I installed Chainfire correctly because Riptide works flawlessly with the NVIDIA plugin.

Gameloft games on the Prime (Updated 4/11/12 - Officially Supported Games)

Gameloft has officially started supporting our device. Slowly they are adding more of their games to be fully supported for the Prime. Below you will find all the current games that are available to us:
*We now have Modern Combat 3*
- Gangstar Rio: City of Saints
- Modern Combat 3
- 9mm
- Asphalt 5 FREE
- Asphalt 6: Adrenaline
- Backstab
- Uno Free/ Paid
- The Adventures of Tin Tin
- Fantasy Town
- Gt Racing: Motor Academy Free+
- Block Breaker 3 Unlimited
- NFL Pro 2012
- Lets Golf! 3
- The Oregon Trail
- Where's Waldo Now?
- Ice Age Village
Changing the build.prop on my HP Touchpad to:
ro.product.model=GT-i9100
ro.product.brand=samsung
Allowed it to see all gameloft games in the market place and download the data. I tried this on my Prime but it doesnt seem to work...
Anyone know of a method?
I did the same thing when the apps went on sale. The crappy thing is I bought most of their games on my phone thinking I would be able to just get them in the market when I get my prime but no.
I read somewhere that you could email them and they would give you the apk's for the games you bought if you let them know your email address and your phone number. I emailed them and I'm waiting on their reply. Granted I didn't tell them its for my prime so I'll see what they say.

be careful when editing build prop. there's a guy now who his prime is in some sort of boot loop from doing the same and hasn't been able to fix it yet.
Order and Chaos wont work, the latest update broke it when i was running it on the TF101.
Previously we had to run the Xoom version of the game to get it working, but whatever they did in the update broke it
Its seriously ****e for gameloft not to support the TF. When i did some digging about on their forums, it seemed to be due to a licence problem, IE someone wanted to charge them too much to support the TF/ TFP officially.
Stupid really as im sure TF and the TFP will have a massive share in the tablet market now.

the problem is even with the APK the game does a check when it loads to see if it's compatible, i've gotten MC3 to work but other games will just tell you they aren't compatible when you load them.
it's ****ing lame of them, and i won't support them until they change their policy. ALL tegra2 compat games will work with the prime technically.
Most companies will write games to work with OpenGL ES which means they work automatically for pretty much every phone that has the hardware to support them.
Unfortunately Gameloft had it in their heads for a while that it is a good idea to write directly for each individual phone's processor instead of just creating one copy for OpenGL and being done with it. Thus massive fragmentation ensued.
Things are a little better now, they are releasing newer games directly to the market and those are generally compatible with all devices. When I got my VZW Galaxy Nexus I was very surprised to see that all my Gameloft Games installed right away without issue. (The one exception was Modern Combat 3 which was updated a week later).
I am pretty sure that the only thing keeping these games off the transformer prime is an arbitrary compatibility check. If they work on the old transformer directly from the market they should work on the prime.
Hopefully they give me the apk's, and hope they get updated to work on the prime. Seeing as this a very popular device, hopefully it won't take long. Its the only reason I bought them
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
maybe we should do the same like people did with Asus and bootloader. start writing them and complaining to them. that by not making their games compatible for TF/TFP devices they are missing out on a huge market share. our devices are more than capable of running their games. I have all the great gameloft games on my Ipad like Modern Combat3, Nova2, Splinter Cell conviction, and lots more. I really wish I could get them for my Prime. I think if enough TF/TFP owners complained to them then we might see the results we want pretty quickly.
Uno HD showed up on my Prime
MW3 and Asphalt 6 HD do NOT show up. which is sad. those are my fav.

So far I have working :
Modern Combat 3
Spiderman HD
Hero of Spart HD
N.O.V.A 2 HD.
Not working :
Order & chaos (Downloaded data but won't update to latest version)
Asphalt 6 (Errors out whilst downloading data)
Backstab HD (Semi works - Initial download ok, game runs flawlessly though without sound (music plays, but no sound effects). After exiting and re-running the game, you have to download 2-300mb.
Dungeon Hunter - Downloaded data and installed, FC's after intro movie.
For the working games, I simply used APK's which I believe were modified for the original Transformer (Don't think I can post links, google is your friend however)
APK's will not work, unlike dead space which I can just email my samsung epic apk to the prime, install, and download sd files to play. When the gamelot apks are sent they will install and open then check the device with the gameloft servers. They then show incompatible. You can actually see the splash screen for the game in the background but gameloft is not allowing the game to go further
anyone successfully edit build.prop yet so these games will work?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Actually there's a simple work around for getting gameloft games working on Prime without editing build.prop or adding anything. As I have the new Modern Combat3 on it and it plays very well. can even play online against others. This game looks sick on Prime display.
The work around is you have to find the matching game apk. for Acer500 or Xoom device. As those have the same screen resolution. Once you get a hold of those, install, then download extra data from online. then you good to go. that simple and plays fine. Google can be your best friend

Whats the main limitation(s) for the S3s gaming capability?

Good evening ladies and gents.
I'm about to jump off the fence and buy a new phone (and since I'm posting here I guess you've figured that I'm seriously considering the S3). But before I choose I want to know which games I can expect to be able to play. I stumbled onto the Tegra Zone a few months after I bought my Desire HD and was quite disappointed that it didn't support the content. I know the S3 doesn't have Tegra but stil a lot of the games are still supported/available.
I've now read through dozens of threads but I'm unable to find out how one figures out which games the S3 can run. In some cases I see thats it's just the "ultra high" setting that isn't supported (1. is this correct?). 2. Is there a different version of most games that are meant for non-Tegra devices or is it the exact game but some of which lack the highest graphics settings? Lastly: 3. Are there any games that S3 owners won't be able to play in the foreseeable future?
I would really appreciate input to any of my questions. Have a good day/night
It runs Mali-400 games and if you decide to Root just install Chainfire 3D and you can run most Tegra and any other games.
Gaming is very good. Thats all i have to say
Sorry i couldnt be of more help.
Have u tried looking on the playstore? With a friends phone or on the web page. Google searched? There is a thread about good ganes in the s3

S3 can play anything but Tegra3 Specific games, there is an app made by Chainfire it's called "Chainfire3D" where it emulates all different graphic chips in the market, so basically you can play all non-tegra and tegra games that aren't Tegra3 specifc as mentioned above. The app needs root in order to work. Dead trigger is the latest game to come out and it plays VERY nice and smooth. Shadowgun tegra2 version works, Pinball THD, Fruit Ninja THD, NBA Jam works nice PES2011, Blood and Glory work pretty well... I'm not much into gaming, those are the games I own, and I can say they are the ones that will hammer the CPU and GPU pretty good. I'm not sure what you mean with "ultra high settings" everything works. remember that the screen size is 1280x800 so some games that are made for smaller screen will have black bars or some cropping or some weird behavior, but I've only seen that on "time killer" games, can't recall which game was that showed this behavior, but still playable.
Hope that straight things out a bit for you.
Chain fire helps with some tegra games but it's not perfect eg sonic 4 ep 2 lags like treacle and some tegra games don't work at all. However the graphics hardware in the gs3 is the fastest in the world for a smartphone so there's a lot of potential. But tbh gaming without hardware buttons is pretty crap anyway.

Thank you all for your replies.
I had already read through the post you mentioned slking1989 but even though it assured me that a lot of quality games are supported it didn't give me a definite answer regarding how to determine beforehand if a game will run or not (like "system requirements" or similar). I'm guessing the reason HQ games doesn't show up in the Play store on my current phone is that it doesn't support themn thus it's no points showing them but since I don't have the phone yet I wanted to do some research.
My choice is between the S3 and the HOX but after your replies the S3 was pushed further ahead in the race (only kept back by the insecurity around Tegra games really). Now I just have to decide which color to get.
This may help u decide
