Yes, that is the same response I got from the Developers. Google should be ashamed for shipping the nexus 9 with an older version of OpenGL unlike Nvidia Shield.

Trine 2 doesn't work on the Nexus 9 because the old version of OpenGL lacks some libraries for some of the top Tegra optimized games to work. I hope they can fix this with an Android update along the line.
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] berendspruijt:
Could a custom rom replace the old opengl with the latest?
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] techiedj:
Fairly perturbed about Trine2 as well. I had full intention of it being the first thing I installed. There should be no reason (other than a small software update) that it won't work on the N9. Nvidia and google need to make it happen.
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] USBhost:
I may look ok

But im not ok

[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] nealkoy:
Not confirmed but maybe when nvidia releases Android L for their shield devices that someone can try to port the openGL drivers to nexus 9?

Cute little game, easy to play/tap (controller support I believe but havent tested yet), good graphics.

I'm so upset that XCom doesn't work on the Nexus 9. :( I guess my bad for not checking first, but as it is a Nexus device, I pretty much assumed that everything would work. I bought my Nexus 9 specifically to play XCom (which lags like nothing on my 1st gen iPad Mini). How disappointing.
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] USBhost:

[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] heyitsejohn:
Hope it comes soon. Tried it on my Nexus 5. Too small to play comfortably.
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] AstroDigital:
It was updated Nov 29

What's New

Fixed an issue preventing the game from launching on devices running Android 5.0
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] KaneOfMars:
Just tried to install xcom. Play Store says its not compatible with the N9.
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] racketier:
I switched from an iPad Mini (first gen) to the Nexus 9 because I wanted something with better performance and could handle top of the line games. It's disappointing to me that the performance and battery life is still only decent after the latest update, and it seems like all the best games don't work or only work on "low" graphic settings.
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] toopy:
I know its difficult, but just wait for the developers to recode their applications to use the power in the 64bit K1.

We will see the K1 games on the nexus9 it will just take a little while. In a few months you will be amazed.

Nvidia needs google as much as Google needs nvidia.

Plays on the Nexus 9 as well as the Nvidia shield Tablet. IAPs are for when you die! Played two levels. Cute game.

Controls seem sluggish on the nexus 9.

Hopefully a sign of more games to come.

[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] AstroDigital:
Lots of negative reviews for Godus, not my type of game.

Panda Bomber looks interesting but seems to have more Shield support just mentions Tegra K1 and I hate games where you need to buy stuff.

Shiny the Firefly the graphics are great, have not played it much but so far I like it.

Sorry, yes XCom has no Nexus 9 support.

Droidfish: chess app / benchmark tool

It looks like the present play store Droidfish, the great chess aplication, doesn't work on Nexus 9. Could anyone confirm ?

If it really doesn't work, official developper Peter Osterlund release a 64 bit version beta. I would be very interested in the test of Droidfish on Nexus 9; if you can help; here's the "how to"

1) After rebooting, download and install Droidfish :

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/.../DroidFish.apk

(don't forget to unmark "unknown sources" on phone settings / apps / security)

2) Clear all apps in background (hold home and swipe them away) and then run droidfish.

3) Press the menu button, invoke "Settings", choose "Threads" and select "Automatic and then press back button to get back to chess board.

4) There is button with label "M" below chess board. Press it and choose "Analysis Mode". Analysis will start. Keep it running for about 1 or 2 minutes.

5) After 2 minutes passed, read and record the "knps": number at bottom of the screen. This is the measurement we're interested in. This value is a number of positions searched per second (in thousands). The higher the better.

6) IMPORTANT: To force program to STOP "thinking", press "M" button again, choose "Two players" so that analysis will stop. Post the results here with rom information (optional). Stock rom is preferable but other roms are welcomed.

[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] Gormsen:
Been play Star Wars Knights of the old Republic.

It's an amazing PC port and is really nice on the N9. It doesn't push the CPU much, the device gets warm but nowhere near hot. With the possibility to save anywhere it makes for a nice on the go game.

Give it a shot, graphics could be better, but hey, this game more than makes up for it with a great storyline and game mechanics ;)

It just released and is on the sale with 50% right now, get it while it's hot ;)
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] Freak07:
Did you try gl Tools to push the graphics?
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] Gormsen:
I don't think graphics can be pushed much. The game has a natural limit, when compared to its PC counterpart. Its an old PC game, so don't think it'll get much better than this. Which is okay :)

I've been playing Heroes of Might and Magic, that was released a week or so ago. It's an amazing port of the desktop game from our childhoods.

I've heavily underclocked the CPU and GPU, which gives you around 9 hours of playing, while still being smooth as baby's bottom ;)

I've found the sweetspot to be 510 MHz for the CPU and 252 MHz for the GPU.

I know it's a bit expensive, but it is certainly worth the buck. Today I also discovered that you can add user made maps, which increases the playtime to over 9000 ;)

Limbo was just released yesterday. You can find it here.

So far I tested the frames in GLTools and it looks to have the frames capped at 30fps, which is the same as it was on console, though I do believe it plays at 60 on PC.

I also made a full res (1440p) gameplay video of the game which you can see here. The frames do seem to drop a titch while playing because of tax on the CPU/GPU with the recorder running while playing. Make no mistake the game does play at a constant 30fps when a recorder is not running.

I will be doing more gameplay videos on the N9 in the future, so far I have only done three since getting the device (all of the rest on the channel were recorded on a N7.2 or a N5), which you can see here. So feel free to check back for more games on the N9.

Think it was about 50-60%, but can't really remember. It's a joy to play without the device giving off any heat!

If you exit the game with those settings, you're in for a lag party.

Been using ElementalX, changed the settings for his Power Save feature in his app to the mentioned MHz, that way it's nice and easy to set it, and it can be aborted from the notification drawer, when you're done playing ;)

What settings did you use. Mine boots with or without gltools, but when its on the game selection screen or I try to start a mission, there is no graphics. I will still see some text popup, but no graphics what so ever.

Has everyone seen TinyKeep, a new 3D dungeon crawler roguelike? It is made for Tegra K1 devices (that's us!) and works great on the Nexus 9.

Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phigames.tinykeepmobilepaid

Description from Play Store: In TinyKeep players will embrace the role of a hopeless prisoner held deep in a forgotten dungeon who one day wakes up to find themselves mysteriously released. Their savior is nowhere to be seen, but the cell door is broken and ajar, tempting them with the sweet scent of freedom. With nothing but a flickering lantern and a strange letter left behind by their in-mate, they must venture into the darkness and escape TinyKeep!

Lure monsters into traps, knock over fire torches to set the dungeon alight and set prisoners free to help you on your way. Enemies will work together in groups to hunt you down, and some will flee from threats. You can also take advantage of monster rivalries and lead them against each other, while you wait behind a corner as the resulting chaos ensues. There are many ways to survive in TinyKeep.

I did a 20 minute play through of the game on my N9 and uploaded it to youtube, for those that want to see how it plays. There is a bit of lag but that is due to the recorder running while this demanding game was being played. It does not have as much stutter when playing without the recorder, though there is still some here and there. The video was recorded in 720p and I believe that is what the game actually plays in as well. Here is the video for those that want to see it.
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] Ace42:
I really dislike these top-down games. While they may work well for touch screens they don't offer the "console-like" experience you could find with some other games. If only Android could get more 3-D games with Unreal 4 or the CryEngine...
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] petrochemicals:
TinyKeep is actually a port of a PC game. While the view may be reminiscent of other made for Android games, rest assured this is a full fledged title that we are lucky we have a device capable of running it.

[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] TheLonelyCyborg:
I've finished the game on PC, a really good surprise. I you liked playing Portal 2 or games like that, you'll like it. More than Portal it has a really questionning story about intelligence, consciousness, AI, organisms, life, and so on.

I let you watch videos on Youtube for seeing graphisms on Nexus 9 / Nvidia Shield, it's not like ultra settings on PC but it seems well enough to enjoy it.

I tried Chaos Rings 3 on Nexus 9, not optimized at all : the game's made for 16/9 and nothing else, no adaptations with black bars for 4/3 screens... I think i'd better pay 10€ for The Talos Principle than 20€ for CRIII :o

Got The Talos Principle!

Have only played the demo levels so far, looking forward to playing the main game!

I have completed the first chapter!

Need to unlock more chapters to progress pass level 3!

Completed the puzzles without looking at walkthroughs!

Needed to search the web to know where the Missing Star on level 3 is!

Edit: Was also missing stars from Level 1 and 2, so had to look at hints for them as well!

Will get all chapters at once, because I have enjoyed the game so far!

"The Talos Principle" game completed!

FYI: All puzzles are solvable using the touchscreen controls, even though at times, I thought I would never do some puzzles with touchscreen!

If anyone wants to know where the hidden stars are, this guide is good to tell you where they are. Without giving away the solution.

Another good guide for people who maybe stuck is available here (print version)

That was two weeks solid of enjoyable game play.

If you enjoyed the sigils puzzles of the game, there is a free game Sigils Of Elohim

From my understanding that all nexus 6 are the same no matter what carrier you buy from or Google Play. I have Verizon. My question is.. If I buy from another carrier sprint or t-mobile and I just pop my sim in shouldn't Lte and everything else work? Or will the radio bands vary on different carriers?

I don't see anywhere in the article or video where they say their N6 was a T-Mobile unit. I'd be interested to hear that vzw has imei numbers sold from T-Mobile white listed in vzw databases.

A N6 bought from play/moto/vzw should have their imei white listed for vzw, I just haven't heard that is the case with N6 sold by other carriers.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Faustus:
While it will work with other carriers, T-Mobile will not be selling the Nexus 6 right out at launch. Only new plan customers or current plan customers can purchase the N6 for the foreseeable future.

Your best bet is to wait for your carrier to come out with it, or try ordering from Google Play/Amazon.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SergiNS:
Hi mates, please help.

I have just update my girlfriends HTC One M7.

It was a 4.2 Android version from ARHD. I didn't notice that I needed to update Recovery in order to run new ROMs and now is looping in HTC logos.

The problem is that Fastboot isn't working with Windows 8.1 (I've been hours trying different drivers).

ADB is working right, but I can not install RECOVERY.IMG throught recovery or sideload.

I was thinking in installing through sideload an old ROM that works with my Recovery but I can not find any.

¿Any other solution?

¿A factory reset will work?

Thanks,

I'm in a hurry, i'm leaving soon and i do not like to let her with a brick mobile.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Win 8.1 does not work with lower hboots. You should try a Win 7 computer or Linux on USB.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SergiNS:
¿Isn't just easier to flash an old ROM that doesn't need TWRP 2.6 or higher?

I'm not used into Linux

Thanks a lot, please give any alternative you know.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Yes, if you can find an older ROM that doesn't require an updated custom recovery. However, you wanted to update your girlfriends ROM and in order to do that you will need the newer custom recovery!

The other option, if you can find a newer RUU you could flash that and possibly Win 8.1 will work with the higher hboot.

Personally, Linux is not that difficult and if you follow the instructions posted you will not have an issue.
