[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3D Rookie:
Excellent.

Sounds like I'll be making a painless start.

Doing homework helps!

I am impressed with this site / forum, there is some serious passion here, which I am happy to see.

Now I just have to decide whether my gamble was right and that I reckon the MDA version really does look good in black... Pitty about the T-mobile logo on the case and the plug over the mini usb port. I am also waiting for the day HTC puts a normal headphone jack on the pone.

I am also considering giving my good old MDA Compact III a fresh battery and a new ROM. It has done so well with the standard ROM (I got used to it crashing :-) But I want to optimise it for the G/F to have a small sat nav to leave in her purse so she can get home when out and about in the car and got herself lost again... My only niggle with it was that the sat nav localisation was pretty slow at times.

Happy Cooking !

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
The USB port cover is easily removable and I suggest doing it because it interferes with plugging in a wider USB plug found on some adaptors. Can't be good on the USB pins. I always try to pamper the port because if it goes, your screwed.

Many skins and covers available for these so color customizing is easy. But black is sleek.

Check out the new Bing for a quick little nav program. It now has voice turn by turn directions.

GPS locks are quite fast if you have AGPS enabled and have the latest Quick GPS data.

Happy flashing!

I was surfing thru gameloft website and notice that there are alot of new games for android ~ :eek:

Most of it (if not all) are ported from iphone.

I tried searching for more info regarding these games from most android webbys but to no avail. All that came up was Asphalt 5 ~ :p

List of new games available such as:

-N.O.V.A. [Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance]

-Real Soccer 2010

-Tom Clancy's HAWX

-Assassin Creed

-Modern Combat: Sandstorm

-few others

Just hit up this link for more.

I am hoping someone will do a video review on these games. Wonder it will run well on nexus ~:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
They certainly look impressive.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
Unfortunately Gameloft tend to just port the iphone versions which means poorly optimised code and rubbish performance despite being on a more powerful device
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] prophetjinn:
They recently updated zenonia which is sooo smooth now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kiay:
hmm... i thought Zenonia is from Gamevil but not Gameloft? :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] prophetjinn:
This is true lol i forget sorry! =P

Come to think of it, i don't even have a gameloft game on my phone, i had origan trail at some point. lol.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
i am extremely dissatisfied and choose to boycott Gameloft for the same reason as mentioned by one poster above.

to the present day Asphalt 5 runs extremely laggy on Nexus One, hundreds of posters have pointed it out but the devs have to the present day not managed to chunk out one single update.. and that for a $6.99 game.

sucks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Forge94:
I'm just hanging out for a decent soccer game.

Bring on RF 2010... And modern combat! Graphics look amazing.

Hopefully Asphalt was just a test in Android waters when it comes to 3d games. They better get it right this time around.

EDIT: Just went to buy Modern Combat: Sandstorm for $4.99. After entering that I have a HTC Google Nexus One, I get a message saying:

"Sorry, Modern Combat: Sandstorm HD+ is not available for your phone at the moment"

However Real Football is available to buy (im pretty sure). I can get to the checkout stage, but I don't think i'll buy it yet.

Hopefully they are on the market soon...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AbsoluteDesignz:
if you downloaded HD+ isn't that the iPad version?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Forge94:
I was sure I was browsing android games, because there was a picture of a Nexus One with an embedded video playing inside it.

I clicked Buy Now straight under it.

Not sure why MCS isn't working and Real Football is...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] maedox:
Were you really laughing out loud while you wrote that? I doubt it. :confused: :p

Ontopic, it's good that Gameloft at least does something for Android. Some guy at Gameloft complained some time ago about the difficulties of making money on Android software. I guess he saw that Android is kicking every other platform's butt, and they want in on the world domination.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mcp2009:
I went to buy Gangstar and Modern Combat and entered my number and it said I'll receive a text shortly with download link. been 9 hrs. still no text :confused:.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zeroafro:
maybe you can drop them an email or call for support.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gupta.keshav94:
Is Asphalt 5 on the link given in the opening post, the same 'laggy' version we all have? Asking because when I click on buy now, I see the name "Asphalt 5 HD+".. Is it different?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zeroafro:
I have no idea bro. The info on the web itself is vague. They should at least list the version number.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] andrewrees:
Same here.. no links came to my phone :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gimpeh:
I want that golf game!

for some reason theyre not in the market thats weird
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] halorin:
Any game where the directional pad is on the same axis as the buttons will be an exercise in futility most likely for us Nexus One users.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] EskimoPie:
wow, they look sweet!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sistum Id:
Probably to cut down on people refunding and keeping the apk. Not sure what Gameloft's refund policy is. Also, probably to avoid fees with Google Market and or PayPal.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mcp2009:
there's already a thread about this here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=681555
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bobdude5:
oh..oops..oh well
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Forge94:
Thought I'd post it here because this is the more visited section.

It seems as though a few of these games aren't compatible with the Desire or Nexus One.

If you click "Buy Now" on N.O.V.A for example, and enter in that you have a Nexus One, Gameloft tells you its not available for your phone.

Although when you enter in that you have a Droid or Milestone, it lets you go right ahead.

Maybe the Nexus isn't strong enough to handle the more graphically intense games because of the lack of the GPU...

(Real Soccer is available for the Nexus One. Not sure about the rest.)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cmarti:
I have Hero of Sparta on the PSP and it's super fun, kind of God of War.

Nice to see they are releasing better games for Android.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bobdude5:
gangstar and modern combat just hang at 100% for the file being downloaded to the sdcared
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Forge94:
How did you manage to download the games from gameloft? When I say I've got a Nexus, the website rejects me. I'm guessing you said you had a Droid and downloaded that way.

Well thanks for sharing. Now I know not to attempt to buy it any other way until its released on the market.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uansari1:
Re: 3D GAMELOFT GAMES!!! :D Android gaming is taking off!

Doubt it had anything to do with the Nexus One's power or graphics processor.. I'd bet some games are designed for a hardware keyboard.

Real Football 2010 works fine on N1.. n the main thing, its doesnt lag .. :)..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gupta.keshav94:
Hm.. Yeah..

But I hope its a new version... Something better than previous.. :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gupta.keshav94:
It will be better if you dont buy 'em now.. Because the extra files from the Gameloft server doesnt gets properly download(Both these games)..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zeroafro:
nice. mind making a brief video of it? :o
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] LevitateJay:
I think it's because they use fancy onscreen touch controls on the left and right side that involves axis flipping and would not work on the Nexus and Desire because of the touch screen axis bug... Lets hope this is fixed in Froyo! :/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martinsolsen:
I have the same problem with gangstar, i tryed to uninstall the game and redownload, now it wont even start downloading, i have no idea what to do.

Edit: I have taken contact to gameloft and am now awaitining a response from them
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] darx:
Real soccer is amazing! By far the most polished game on android.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jlevy73:
Same here, at least with Modern combat. Soccer is the only that seems to work
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] charnsingh_online:
Real Football wont download the data on my phone, anybody mind sharing the data for it.

/sdcard/gameloft/RealSoccer
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] charnsingh_online:
i cant download soccer, it just hangs and doesnt download any further :( . Bought it and it wouldnt work now. Can someone PM me with the data of the game uploaded somewhere
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martinsolsen:
As posted in this other thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=682355

Some people (including myself) is having some dificulties downloading the ekstra files that are needed, in my case iam having trouble with the game "Ganstar".

I have contacted them and i will post here as soon as they respond.

I can see that some of you havent got the text yet, i got my text from them a few seconds after i bought it online, and i live in Denmark, Europe. I dont know if you are american citizens or are from another country, but your country has a number you need to put in front of your actual phone number for people outside of your country to be able to call or text you.

Example: a danish phone number could be 88888888 but in order for people outside of Denmark to call or text this number they need to dial 004588888888.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] faraz1992:
Did they make use of OpenGL2.0 or its another unpolished version of an iPhone port??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] darx:
I couldn't tell you for sure, but real soccer runs like butter on my N1. Very intuitive and lots of little features I love. Worth the money!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bais:
I looked further in the site.

Looks like that some games can be bought and some can't if you have a N1.

Checked for NOVA and Modern Combat, it says that it's not for this phone.

Then I checked for Assassin's Creed (The 3D One) Hero of Sparta and Dungeon Hunter, it let you go to the payment moment without error.

But I hope that they are or will be playable even though there's the MT problem...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thechump:
I tried to get Dungeon Hunter but after I paid, it wouldn't let me download it and refunded my money.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] twistedumbrella:
It is slow and a major battery drain, but mine didn't even start until I turned WiFi off and downloaded over the network, luckily I needed to charge the phone anyway. Hopefully it finishes :/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martinsolsen:
I have now tried with both WIFI and 3g and nothing works, they have responded to my mail, however they only resent the text to me and it does still not work, so i will take contact to them again and see what happens. But i have to give them credits for the fast answer.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
Dungeon Hero: force-close loop. No cigar.

Nova: downloads files, finishes downloading and automatically quits. This happens over and over.

Good showing there, Gameloft.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martinsolsen:
They have now responded to my second complain, they are stating that this is a bug in the application and that they will try to fix it, however they also say that this might be that my handset (nexus one) that does not work with that application, so they offered me a free game of my own choice, so i will try the game "Dungeon hunter".

BTW is there anyone that have tried with another handset, like the motorola droid or something else, to clarify if this is a nexus one specific problem or if its just a problem in general?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bais:
From what I read, the Dungeon Hunter game doesn't work on any devices, including Moto Droid.

N.O.V.A only works on Droid, Sandstorm too.

Really want to know if Assassin's creed works on Nexus One (Snapdragon).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
Nova doesn't even work on some Droids, apparently, because the files downloaded are kind of broken. Gameloft's being quite ****ty. Deserves to have their games pirated to hell and back, I suppose.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] charnsingh_online:
its not gameloft, its the ROM , u might be having opengl errors just get the logcat and u will see
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
Not likely. Some people with stock Desires can't get it to work either. I'm on CM, and in any case logcat has shown that it goes fubar from the download on.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] drewstiff:
Caligo Chaser by COM2US works fine on my N1 and that has on-screen controls. It's never caused me an issue at all.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] timothydonohue:
i tried assasin's creed and prince of persia, both gameloft games. both sucked nuts, both uninstalled.

and, except for the backgrounds, they were almost essentially identical in gameplay (and sucktitude)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ehsan021:
this games running on milestone only !
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
Really? That's... dumb. I hope it wasn't intentional, because... yes, dumb.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gupta.keshav94:
FC on Hero of Sparta as well on N1..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martinsolsen:
I just got the Dungeon hunter game for free because Gangstar didnt work.

Guess what it turns out Dungeon hunter dosent either, it just FC, this is just dump Gameloft...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Dextrosan:
Just tried Dungeon Hunter, but no joy... FC all the time. I am on CM and I'm wondering whether going back to stock would change anything. Any ideas or experience?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikasso1:
I got let's Let's Golf and it worked great. I was excited. I bought Dungeon Hunter and, BAM, force close. Called tech support and they said I'd get an email when the game was fixed but that I could have a free game for my trouble. The sms me Hero of Sparta and BAM, force close. I call them again and they send me Hawx as another free game, and... wait for it... BAM! FORCE CLOSE! What the hell? They have a nexus one pictured playing the damn games! This is some bush-league **** right here. Let's Golf is good though... must use a different engine than the other games. Maybe when they get the games working this means I'll get 2 free games though... :confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SImoxTa:
Any possibilities to see them working on the HTC Legend? speaking about the horsepower to handle a lower resolution
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TittieBaby:
bwhahahaha in tears @ the wait for it Bam.....but yea, sandstorm doesnt work either, and it blows, cause the game play looks so good
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikasso1:
I redownloaded Dungeon Hunter and now it seems to be working (the app is downloading data now) so maybe they updated fixed the apks and following the sms link takes you to the newer file now. Finally good to go fellow Nexus owners? Two free games almost makes the hassle worth it! :D

Also can I say how ridiculous it feels talking to another human being and saying, "I wanted to buy dungeon hunter and-- No, no, I said, DUNGEON HUNTER. No, not Hero of Sparta, DUNGEON HUNTER!!!"
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Eclair~:
I wonder have they taken any security measures to delete the effect of sharing the apk throughout the Android community - I'm sure it won't be long before these good games (supposedly) are distributed.. to those who haven't purchased them.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] timothydonohue:
these are already available to those nefarious evil-doers that would employ such channels
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fahim_k:
anyone get n.o.v.a working on nexus one?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martinsolsen:
After i read your post, then i tried to redownload the dungeon hunter .apk, and now it actually launches. There is just one thing, it says that it is not a original copy of the game. It is downloaded from their own servers for gods sake.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gupta.keshav94:
So plz tell if Dungeon Hunter is running properly on N1 after the files are downloaded..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
+1 to that question!

The game is slow, too slow!

And the touch screen has the problem of the axes

i think the games is not optimised for nexus/desire.

It runs pretty well on droid though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ehsan021:
So what about N1 ?

can N1 run this games ? Because N1 doesn't have any graphic chip !

what happen in android 2.2 !
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
What... makes you think the N1 doesn't have a GPU?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ehsan021:
does it ?

plz explain me about n1 graphic chip :confused: i am confused :(

and why N1 cant run those games ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
If it doesn't have a GPU, how do you suppose it renders the 3D app drawer, ExZeus, Real Football and that Quake 3 port?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ehsan021:
I think N1 doesn't have any GPU chip and i think n1 simulate the GPU and its very bad .

in real footbal we have a low fps also in other games from gameloft company and ......

what do u thing about this buddy ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
Jesus on fire, it has a GPU. Gameloft games run badly because they're optimized like **** through molasses.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ehsan021:
I hope so ........
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ehsan021:
Nexus one graphic chip is ati z430......

Has anyone had luck getting gangstar to work well?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bobdude5:
i got gangstar working :) made a video

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] player911:
So the Snapdragon GPU just sucks then eh?

I think I read somewhere that the coding and drivers for the older ARM chipsets varied from the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets. Perhaps they are coding the games to make better use of the slower chipset and not properly coding for the Snapdragon.

Its funny because when properly tested using a program that fully supports both chipsets, the Nexus One is a lot faster: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/nexus-one-vs-motorola-droid/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bobdude5:
it doesnt suck..every 3d games runs perfectly on mine including gangstar (see above video) , asphalt, exzeus, raging thunder.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thechump:
How did you get this to work? When i tried to purchase it it said "this game is not available for your phone".
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] player911:
I wasn't implying that the GPU sucks, rather perhaps they just don't code very well.

Gameloft has never been my favorite developer. All of their games remind me of a crappy java game (although some of the newer ones look promising).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilchip85:
ive looked in gameloft.com and nothing says about android at all... i cant find any games for my n1
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Dextrosan:
So after puchasing Dungeon Hunter for the first time, the game did not start at all. I have contacted Gameloft, got a new download link and now the game runs without any problems. I am also very pleased to say, that the game is very smooth (CM 5.0.6).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Travladin:
How the Hell cant i buy one of theses games???

So are u guys using your phone browsers to purchase these apps or are u using a PC... If ur using the mobile Browser what site version are u using Mobile or desktop? what category works for android game HDGAMES smartphone or IPHONE? This sucks i want the west coast gangstars but i don't know were or how to purchase it:confused::mad:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gupta.keshav94:
Now the webpage for android games is back.. Are there updates in the game? BTW now I see Droid instead of Nexus One in the picture... Does this mean something bad for us? :(

EDIT: Now saw very few devices are listed for buying the games.. Wish they have optimized the games for snapdragon devices too..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ChillRays:
I'm not sure if this question has been asked yet but.. can these games work with the wii controller app? Just curious and thanks to whoever replies.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Forge94:
No chance.

There are no options in Real Football to map controls, so I doubt the others will as well.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ezangrando:
my real football is working well on my nexus with cm 507-t2, but gangstarr is stuck on resource download... instead dungeon hunter force close after resource download :mad: i hope ea work better with Need 4 Speed Shift than gameloft... never seen such bugged software on android :mad: it seems to be under Windows...

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
Dungeon Hunter's performance is surprisingly decent. Will have to see how it does when the screen's full of enemies, though.

Touch control a bit awkward, but at least it's better than virtual joystick.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lolittle:
Any1 tested these with Froyo ??? .. Wondering if Asphalt or any of the others hav improved with the new update. Google says it improves application speeds and keeps the frame rate high.. lets test it then??

I would but my battery is dead and the charger aint with me so i havent took the plung into Froyo yet :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ezangrando:
Asphalt 5 work but with bad framerate, Ragin Thunder 2 is still better, now i'll try the others hoping better result than cyanogen 5.0.7... the problem are not the rom but the games i'm sure, com2us and polarbit games are all working smootly without force close... and from what i can see from videos of upcoming Need For Speed Shift it has better graphic of Asphalt 5 and it run perfectly smoot... as others said gameloft = 0 optimization... they run like a game for windows under wine :mad: Someone has Tom Clancy's HAWX working?
