Is this possible? Would love to try it out. Would I be able to use Market Helper to download it from the Google Play store? Would it even run/work after that point?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datallboy:
Is it in the play store, but only for Nvidia shield devices? If so, you could change your build prop to mimic the shield.

Not sure if we could run HL2 on nexus 5 though. It's a great device, but the shield is pretty powerful.

Edit: Build.prop for shield

#ro.product.model=SHIELD

I can't verify the source but I read someone got portal running using Gltools earlier today. So perhaps give that a whirl? The post was sparsely sourced however so may want to err, *aquire* the apk through other means first then if it runs obviously hit it up on the play store :)

Post back here if you have any joy!

Hi,

It seems that with the last update of GLTools it's possible to play Half Life 2:

Hi,

From the GLTools thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2615514, last page.

But it seems it's not perfect and you need the last version of GLTools (the paid version for now), I have not yet the XDA version from the dev...

thanks! it's good to see that there is actually some progress.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmkitsch:
Got to the Menu on a Nexus 5

Just tried out the settings given by sergio_prado using the latest Google Play version of GLTools, selecting the three check boxes (Simple mapbuffer emulation, Software VBO emulation, Use packed stencil buffer) and selecting a custom tegra4 GPU. This allowed me to get the to the main menu and play the game with sound and controls working using an external controller. However most of the textures are black, and in the intro of the game only the light sources seem to be visible, with the part about GMAN being a completely black screen

I have tried messing with all of the settings in GLTools to no avail, and in the most part just making it worse. I have attached a picture of the menu, but then again it is a start
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvha:
Ok. Sixaxis pair tool working so good but not in menus. On Mahdi latest rom with franco's r52 kernel I've got litlle artifacts and low FPS :(

But It's playable :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmkitsch:
I use a Logitech wireless rumble pad 2, however I believe it uses the standard controller API so should work for any controller.

Well I found out what my problem was. When I installed GLTools, I selected none instead of TEX(DE)coder. Reinstalling it with the texture plugin got it working pretty well, however I too am getting some horrible artifacts, such as objects being visible through walls and repeated textures that move as you walk. I am about to try and reinstall but you having similar problems makes me loose a bit of hope. I am still playing with the settings in GLTools but nothing is fixing it really.

Also getting 6 loading screens when starting the game seems to be normal.

I too am using the franco kernel and ART, so next I am going to try using the stock kernal, and DALVIK to see if there's any change.

However with the right settings, I have managed to get portal working reasonably well, just seems that the phone struggles slightly with the rendering through the portal as the frame rate quickly drops. I guess we cannot expect our non-sheilds to run as well, but it is definitely playable. I will forewarn that the screenshots seem to look a tonne worse than it does on the phone screen. May be non native resolutions or something.

The settings I am using for portal are:

Optimise GLSL Shaders

Enable Texture Decompression - All

Use Fake GPU Info

Tegra 4 Template

Simple MapBuffer Emulation

Software VBO Emultion

Use Packed Stencil Buffer

Half-Float Texture Hack

Decode sRGB

These may be non-optimal and some may be unnecessary, so if you have any recommendations to increase performance please let us know.

Simple MapBuffer Emulation

Software VBO emulation

Use Packed Stencil Buffer

Seems to be the bare minimum to not get the games to crash, but from what I've seen the other options fix a lot of issues.

Finally, not a big thing, but I recommend enabling expanded desktop to hide the soft navigation bar.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
So are you guys all using versions of the games from somewhere other than the Play Store?

Anyone able to post the full build.prop from the Shield?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dabotsonline:
Can this be done temporarily using a module in Xposed Framework or something similar? It seems that [MENTION=1191710]NZtechfreak[/MENTION] would like to know as well.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
I actually found a more full version of the build prop elsewhere, managed to get the Play Store on desktop to show my Slate 7 Extreme as an Nvidia Shield, however it still wouldn't let me install the game. Will try again soon to see if I can get it going. I actually have a Shield now, so could just rip the apk to install it on the tablet, but where's the fun in that?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datallboy:
Probably easier to make a copy of your original build.prop, edit the values for your nexus 5 to the shield. Someone could make xposed module for it, but I dont know how to.

Got it to play on Nexus 7 2013

Hi guys.

I don't know if this is old news at this point, but I managed to play Half-Life 2 and Portal on my Nexus 7 2013 using GL Tools.

I believe the GPU in the nexus 5 is similar (and slightly better), so it may also work.

The GL Tools options I used were:

Use fake CPU info

Use fake GPU info

Template -> Tegra 4 (Shield)

Emulation Options -> enabled ALL of them

The rest i left unchecked.

Just a few notes:

I used a Nexus 7 2013, running Kit Kat 4.4.4.

Half-Life 2 V25 was always force closing immediately, so I tried with V23 and it works fine.

Portal V25 works fine.

Hope I helped. ;)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SubZeroPT:
Yeah, I'm having the same problem.

I'm using the Moga Pro controller with universal driver app and all the buttons work, except the triggers.

Luckily, there are functions that are mapped to 2 buttons at the same time, so you can go in the game settings and change the layout manually.

But if someone knows a more "correct" solution, I would also appreciate it.

[Android Apps and Games] slamtastic:
Hi there. I'm hoping to get you guys can take a look at my Android app.

After trying out a lot of todo-like apps, I've found that most of them are too cumbersome and overloaded with features. They make you feel like you're doing a lot but don't actually help in getting things done. So I made my own app that works with a certain philosophy in mind - write down all you want to do but only plan/schedule what you need to do right now. I break up my time in chunks and just focus on that - whether it's 30 minutes or 2 hours. This is the key to actually getting things done especially when you have a lot to do and might feel overwhelmed. It's proven again and again by research. Pomodoro is great but I don't like the rigidness of it where the time you spend is predefined. The key is to help focus by putting all your attention on -now-.

Check it out and let me know what you think: play store link . G+ Community - to have input on development and get early beta releases.

Thanks.

When Android asks me, which App should perform an action (intent) and I select one of the proposed Apps and click to "Always", where does Android then store (persist) my selection?

you guys do realize most of these battery/ battery case come from china right? just like MUGEN battery. For all you know they are probably from the same factory, make the battery and then just slap on the sticker and you're paying extra for it.
[One (M8) Accessories] xRogerxC:
I like this case/battery combo. However, from the pictures it looks like the case offers absolutely no protection for the screen. It would be nice if there was at least a raised lip to keep the screen safe.
[One (M8) Accessories] k4p741nkrunch:
Seems like it would be extremely inconvenient to have to remove the case and charge the phone and case separately.

I've never had one of these 'charge' cases before.. Is that the normal operation?
[One (M8) Accessories] ghostcamed302:
When I had my G2 with a Zerolemon battery case it would charge the phone before the case. The only thing I didn't like a out it was a 1 amp into the case and phone, then when you click the button to charge the phone it was a 1 amp output to the phone. So you really can't use the phone and charge at the same time. like you can when you use a wall charger, other than that it was ok and the bulk didn't bother me at all. I have 3 friends that have Mophie cases ( HTC One m7, galaxy s4 and a iPhone 5) they like the cases, I just hope they make one for the M8 I'd love to buy one.

I know this is a dead thread but whatever. I am picking up the case tomorrow. Really excited hopefully this will be better than zerolemon case for nexus 5. I will review this when I get a chance
[One (M8) Accessories] md1008:
Just got the case today so far it seems really nice. It does add some bulk and to some might seem as a brick. Coming from Nexus 5 zero lemon this is "thin" for me.

The case looks nice and despite it's plastic feels more premium than I expected. Maybe it has more to do with the weight than the material.

Protection wise I am a little nervous. The edges appear to be protected but the edges are exposed leading me to believe that it's more prone to damage such as cracks and dings. I expect the aluminum on the edges to be dinged up using this case.

Charging wise this thing is nice. It came with with 3 charging lights indicating it was roughly .75% charged. It died after 2 hours however left me with an almost completely charged phone. Mind you I was charging with GPS and screen on. On the zerolemon battery would drain(not charge if I were use GPS and screen on even if battery was charged. The insctructions state that you can charge both phone and battery. The phone would charge phone first and then battery. On the zerolemon it charges both at a a god awful snails pace.

One huge benefit of this case is how easy it is to install, just slides right in. So if your like me and clumsy you can put on the case as needed and use you other case as needed.

Packaging was also nice, It looked similar to how the m8 came in a box except instead of cardboard came in plastic. Will upload pictures and give a more detailed review after I had it for a few days.

All in all after owning it for a few hours I can say I recommend this case

I picked up a Seidio Ledger Case. Nice build quality. Very easy to get the phone in but a little difficult to get it out. DO NOT grab it by the flip cover while trying to remove it. Tore it just the tiniest bit. Completely my fault though, I was tugging pretty hard. Overall I'm pretty happy with it but it doesn't activate the sleep/wake function on my M8. Is it not supposed to or is there a setting I need to change on the phone to activate that feature?
[One (M8) Accessories] henderjr:
No setting, probably doesn't have a magnet on the flip cover? Should be one that hits the middle left side of the phone to trigger the on/off when opening/closing. Try it with a magnet and you'll see what I mean.
[One (M8) Accessories] ajk511:
It's got a magnet on the right side to keep the flip closed. Ran a magnet all along the left side and got nothing. Wonder if it's a rom thing though. I'm running viper rom. Does this phone have the screen on/off magnet feature normally? Never tried it before flashing away from stock.

[One (M8) Accessories] ajk511:
THANKS!. I was putting it right on the edge.

Here is what it did. Used double sided tape and this REALLY thin small round magnet I picked up in a pack at an office supply store. Put the magnet on the screen with the double sided tape on it. Stuck a business card into the car holder slot of the flip and put a piece of tap across the very top of the card to mark exactly where it sits when in the slot. remove the card from the slot and tapped it to the flip. closed the case so that the magnet now stuck to the card. Removed the card, put a piece of tape over the magnet to secure it better to the card and then slid the card back into the card slot. PERFECTION!!

Edit: It will activate DOT VIEW if you flip the case completely over.
