Cool. Will be interested to hear if EA responds. My guess is if they do they'll place the blame on Asus and/or Nvidia.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hiphoplegend:
well actually they havent even bothered to reply to me yet, despite me sending 3 emails. its been over a week now, they obviously can't be arsed because they are awful developers.

I'll keep on trying anyway, got nothing to lose right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] hiphoplegend:
a small update

So i actually managed to get a reply from EA (not to the email i directly sent them, which has now been over two weeks since ive had a reply, but a forum topic i started about the compatibility).

They said "It is the decision of the company that builds the device, which Android version runs on it. The Simpsons: Tapped Out requires Andriod version 2.3.3 (or higher)."

Er what? For starters android tablets dont run anything lower than honeycomb (aside from the original galaxy tab), and the TF700 is a MUCH newer device so automatically runs at least honeycomb. As we all know it did in fact come with ICS.

So yeah, pretty unhelpful, but at least i got a reply. Waiting for the next one now i guess.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wihogfan:
LOL. That's an even more useless response then I expected you'd get, but thanks for the updates.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hiphoplegend:
UPDATE!

I received an email from EA today:

"Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts.

I sincerely apologize for the delay in response. Going forward, we would do our best to respond in time.

Having going through your email I found that you want to know about the compatibility for the game "The Simpsons: Tapped Out". I'll do my best to help you out.

I request you to please refer the link given below to check the compatibility of the game.

https://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1727131

Feel free to contact us with any additional questions or concerns. You can also receive online assistance at http://help.ea.com/

Regards,

Navin

Electronic Arts- World Wide Customer Experience."

Go on guys, follow the google link, you'll find its worse than useless.

I guess im grateful for a reply FINALLY, however aside from "helping me out" that link made the reply useless.

Lets all give EA a round of applause.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gVibeR:
Still no reply from EA I guess....I started this forum topic over on the Tapped Out forums. I encourage anyone with an Infinity to hop over there and voice your disappointment in the support EA provides for its hottest games. Here is the link: hxxp://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/0/9453462.page#28257145.

[Asus Transformer TF700] hiphoplegend:
Actually....

Appologies for not posting sooner but ive been pretty busy with uni.

Anyway i have indeed received another reply. After them asking me what device i was using, what version and what the problem with the game is (!!!), they forwarded the information i gave them to another department :-|. THEN i got a reply...

They said that they would forward my query to the studio who actually make the game, and they will deal with it.

However, they said that i shouldnt really expect a reply, and even then they may do nothing. He ended by saying the game may or may not ever be compatible. Great.

I definitely shall be joining that forum and voicing my opinion, it worked for the sims free play after all.

At the moment it doesnt seem likely.

[Asus Transformer TF700] DeLoreanQC:
I'm an owner of a Acer a700, which have the same hardware (tegra3, 1920*1200 res), and the game don't work on it too...
[Asus Transformer TF700] hiphoplegend:
I did wonder if this device was compatible given the strong similarities. Thanks.

still no compatibility despite the latest update. Im gonna go on the forums and complain some more and request that the 4.3 update also includes compatibility I suggest everyone else does the same for the maximum impact.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hiphoplegend:
SUCCESS!!

MAJOR UPDATE! The compatibility on the play store still lists the game as incompatible.

HOWEVER, google search "the simpsons tapped out v4.3.0 apk" and click the third link (it's apkwikipedia). You will find an apk to download in a zipped format (.zip or .rar can't remember). Anyway, the apk is working and as i speak im downloading the updates on the main page!

It is a modded apk (at least one of the .apk files in the package is) so you will get unlimited money.

Regardless, it is now possible to play the game on the tablet. I will update any problems/issues encountered once i've tested it.

Download and get playing! Spread the word!

EDIT: i have played around with it and everything seems to work as well as on my phone. If you lose your friends list, just sign in and out again of origin and they should turn up.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wihogfan:
Finally got this game to work on my Asus TF700 and not by using a modded apk. Got fed up with the freezing and force closes that I was experiencing ever since I got this tablet using the official firmware, so I unlocked and rooted my tablet and loaded the Cromi-X rom onto it. Big improvement in performance. And to get This game to work, I downloaded an app called Market Helper which tricks thr Play store into thinking your phone or tablet is a different phone or tablet. The Market Helper app requires root, isn't available in the Play Store (so google it to find it) and while I couldn‘t get it to work the Play Store app, it worked great via the online Play Store (and once you reboot, your device ID goes back to it‘s orginal state).
[Asus Transformer TF700] hiphoplegend:
Glad more people are getting it to work. To clarify, the link i posted does has both a modded .apk and a non added .apk

Also, slightly unrelated, how is Cromi-X performance wise? Was it easy to do? Did you keep all your apps and system preferences? Will it be possible to keep the game when installing this custom rom? Need to do more research before i commit!

AW: Porting sense 5.0 to nexus 4 ?

Let's say like this. Theoretically it is doable... But practically not. You would have to port the whole framework + the resolution + the HBOOT + the hardware (I think u even would have to write own libs or hack libs from HTC with hex editor)

Just buy that phone which will get support for 6 months and then the next flagship of HTC will be there and yours will be forgotten.

Sorry for bad English :D

You can build a Sense 5 "look-and-feel" ROM (if you know what I mean). A Sense port is nearly impossible...

Switched to nexus devices, never going back.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] CheesyNutz:
Yea NO I don't think this would happen since the sense overlay is pretty dependant on the framework and the dna and nexus has pretty much nothing in common

Besides if you wanted sense you should have bought htc
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] OrrPenn18:
This.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

I don't speak about the development part (contest, work, etc...).

The funny thing is when people buy a Nexus device many want an overlay like Sense or Touchwiz...

And when people buy an HTC / Samsung device so with Sense / Touchwiz many want to get rid of it...

Wrong device purchase :confused:

Nothing aggressive here, just a funny observation :)

:D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] randomnoob83:
Its just nice to have options is all
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Superpopsss:
The only thing I want from sense 5.0 is blink feed tbh
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Plancton.fr:
Like KennyDumah said it's almost impossible ! The port is very very difficult, because you need to port almost everything, and Sense is a very strange Android base...

Many devs tried to port Sense on the Nexus One, Nexus S and other Android devices but it was a failure every time...

Don't forget that HTC is against the port of Sense ROMs on non-HTC devices (which is normal) so they do what they can to stop theses ports.

I'm not going to say "If you want Sense, buy an HTC device" because I want it too :P I want a Nexus with a pure Android experience, but I love to change the interface sometimes, so give a try to Sense would be great :P
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] leventccc:
Wait until it reaches to htc one x+ and try to port from one x+, it will solve resolution problem. And yes everything is possible with a nexus.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] randomnoob83:
Idk what you mean its not only a problem with a nexus its a problem with all devices

..for real...?

Why do people keep saying "buy an HTC device"? Can we not desire to experience Android in all flavors? Can we not look to explore some of the features that these overlays have OVER raw Android?

I have about 3 HTC devices and have had even more in the past. I played with Sense, I put CM on them, I switched back and fourth. It happens! Gosh!

If HTC would have come out with a quad-core device for T-Mobile before I mad my Nexus purchase, I probably would have gotten that instead. In theory you get more in terms of UI compatibility, no one can beat that Nexus 4 price!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Zehlek:

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Someone has built 4.1 for the Nexus 4 to do the port. It could be done now!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Ace42:
To be fair that ROM was from the optimus G, which is a highly similar device from the same manufacturer.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
All of my devices have been HTC until this one. I hate sense as a base. But to have an aosp base with a perfect sense overlay, I'd be happy with that honestly. The sense UI is nice, the base isnt. (IMO)

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] unixon:
It'd prove extremely difficult. I wish someone would make a thread to elaborate how these baked in Skins work. It's nothing like a theme or overlay, it's a framework. Maybe you could make your Ford F150 look like a Dodge RAM but could you make your Ford 150 look like a Lotus? Probably not.

Nothing's impossible though, it's software. And keep in mind eventually there won't be anything HTC holds over AOSP. Google will make features public domain through their Open Source OS or Closed Source software, and somebody will make a little widget for clocks and feeds.

But it is "possible". Why don't you do it for us :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] gado45:
Full port of sense is nearly impossible but would be awesome if someone port the blink feed, I think it's possible we'll just have to wait

You can already sort of replicate blink feed using flipboard widgets and pulse widgets. At least it LOOKS similar

People don't want sense or touchwiz they just want the features
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] hp420:
all you cynical nay-sayers must be nexus n00bs. If you take a look through the nexus s forums, you'll notice a guy named swamp goblin used to port roms from other manufacturers to nexus s faster than users could flash them. ANY rom based on android can run on ANY android capable device. You just need some libs and binaries for your device from a rom based on the same android version as the one you want ported. Drag and drop the proper libs and binaries into the proper directories, and voila!! Bootable ported rom :)

.........now, having said that, it's worth noting that usually there are a few features that won't work. But the rom will boot, and you usually can get an almost complete rom running. In a few cases, everything works!! I ported a flyme OS rom from Meizu to a samsung nexus s by following swamp goblin's nexus s porting thread, and everything but wimax worked on the ns4g variant....if you have a gsm nexus s, everything works. This is just one example. I've had quite a few successful ports done....but like I stated earlier, one or two features usually don't work.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] randomnoob83:

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mikkis2k:
You should've bought a htc phone then. :)

Yes it's good with options, but the main reason ppl choose a Nexus device.. is exactly that! no overlays, no ****ty UI, just clean and beautifull android. No ****ty bloatware, no laggy overlays. And i'm so glad, that i got myself a nexus 4. I've had TW,Sense,LG UI and even windows phone. Sense.. worst thing.. ever. SO LAGGY not even fun. TW is ok, but plain boring, and after a while it also laggs.

HANDS DOWN, to clean android.

You want options? theming, and cm10.1 themes.. u don't need more than this. Just look at mycolorscreens+post your homescreen thread here.. you will never find anything like this in sense or anything else. Yes u can install launchers.. but that just made this ugly stuff you all want dissapear wouldn't it?. Now stop these threads, and lets move on. If someone is porting a rom, u will see it. but i HARDLY DOUBT it. U want this ugly thing so bad? Install cm10.1 themes, and install launchers. Sense is not avalible. But every other launcher is.

I bought a Nexus 4 because it's cheap for what it delivers. What's the harm in wanting sense?

whats wrong:/? It kinda just makes the whole reason of a "nexus device" useless. Thats why.

Yes its bemt for developers and all, but who would want such a ugly interface? Laggy, and ruins the whole experience of android:/?

It's just like iOS. Same old, same old, never getting faster and allways slow:P

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] hp420:
Ok, I think I understand your confusion. The point of a nexus is not only to have vanilla android. The point of a nexus is the OPTIONS. Take, for example, our extremely popular original development forum. You can find RBJ, CNA, AOKP, PA, PAC, CM, EOS, AOSP and countless other android roms. How many other devices can boast the same list? Maybe the S3 and a few others, but they require cracking to get to that stage. A nexus gives you the option out of the box, essentially. Having a sense rom is just like having an aosp/cm variant.....another option :)

Honestly, I'd love to have a sense 5 rom!! I'm a HUGE htc hater....I can't even begin to describe my htc hatred lol My last experience with sense was with arguably the buggiest Evo 4g that ever came off the line, and that fueled my hatred further than it even was in the first place anyway. You may be scratching your head now, thinking if HP hates htc so much, why would he want a sense rom?? I wanna see how far they have come!! I'd love to be able to compare my past experience to that of a new, fresh sense 5 experience. I have people asking me every single day of my life what phone they should buy. I'd like to be able to form a well educated, unbiased opinion on a product before I just shoot it down. Basing my opinion on the htc one by saying "well, I hated the phone they made 3 years ago" would be a little hasty, don't you think?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mikkis2k:
I know.., but why would ppl want htc sense.. on such a awesome device? And make it laggy? I've played around with every sense leaks until now. Thats kinda my work! Htc one X.. was so laggy and so bad at launch.. it became abit faster when they finally got JB. But i think thats mainly because of Tegra 3. But still! It's full of bloatware and useless stuff.. It's like saying iOS is awesome, but u won't buy one :P . But yeh, you are right.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mackster248:
Same reason people want AOSP on their Galaxy or HTC phones. Having a choice is never a bad thing. And that's a general rule in life, not just phones.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. They are just that, opinions. Non are right or wrong.

Why did I buy a nexus? Because my HOX broke. Yes I like sense, why didn't I get another HTC? Because their stance to developers is horrid. I also like stock android. Now wouldn't it be cool to have aosp with a complete sense ui? For me, yes, because its my opinion.

Why did I buy a nexus over HTC if I want sense? No restrictions. None, Nada, zilch, zero.

fastboot oem unlock

That's why I bought a nexus.

For the record, I never ran sense because the base is slow and outdated.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mikkis2k:
Options are awesome .. But Sense is so laggy:P And yeh.. bootloader locks kinda sucks.. And tbh no.. it wouldn't be cool:/ Because sense dosn't look nice, it looks bloaty(and is bloaty) :) But yeh i get it. Options are good, but i still don't understand how ppl would wnat sense.. its horrid:P

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Aosp base with sense UI isn't sense.. And sense isn't that laggy. Up until JB, sense was a heap of trash. It was slow and ugly. With jb it looks about the same as ICS, but the key with it was it actually ran smoothly.. Such a feat for sense (been using sense since android 2.1). However, when the option allowed I always ran CM or AOKP, but there was that part of me that liked the UI.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mikkis2k:
Thats wierd. I've had a HTC One X for about a week with JB updated. And it was not plesant.. it was laggy and transactions were jaggery if you know what i mean =)

Lol like sense based android isn't? Lol I guess it's true, you can't fix stupid.

Edit: also he's basing his "opinion" of sense of a tegra based device. So here's his logic

My tegra phone was laggy with sense, so this Qualcomm phone will be too.
