Hi, thanks for checking this thread.
I was wondering if anyone knows if the Gameloft games that I have bought for my Iconia a500 will work after updating my tab with Dexters PRIMEE port?
I hear it is a pretty solid rom and I hate to not do it. But I don't want to lose my games.
I've already lost them once when I returned the first Iconia to BestBuy. I had to go through Gamelofts Customer Service to get the games back. Fortunately they were awesome to deal with.
I don't know how the games are authenticated. It's just that I am not certain whether my tablet will still pass if make changes like that to it.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Well, you could use titanium backup to, erm, backup your games + data, then make a nandroid backup using CWM, install Primee, then restore your games using titanium again.
Thanks for that. If I decide to go with PRIMEE I'll definitely go that route.
Appeciate the help.
No problem. If you have the time, give Prime a go. 3.1 feels faster and works great.
even with my phone i rarely use nandroid i just make frequent baclups in titianium. once in a while it loses my homerun 3d battle

First, thanks for everything Dexter, I appreciate you taking the time to help out here. Don't know how you possibly do it all.
The Gameloft store is where I bought my games as well.
Question.
Did you buy Asphalt6 before you made and installed that way cool rom of yours on your tablet? If so did you re-install it from the apk, or did you just go back to the Gameloft store on your device?
The reason that I ask is that when I returned my tablet I couldn't get to those games online to put them back on the new tablet. I actually had to go through customer service at Gameloft.
Why?
It seems that when I bought my games using the a500 at the Gameloft store, They didn't give me, the owner, an account for the games. They assigned an account to the tablet. Perhaps I should have bought the games through their webpage on a pc. I may have been better off...
Anyway, I am pretty sure that's why I had trouble and also why I am concerned. If my tablet doesn't identify as the tablet that the games are associated with, I don't think that they will re-install.
So I suppose that the real question is this. Will the Rom change whatever the identifier is that the apps look for? I figure that it is the serial number and possibly the model number too. So everything will be most likely be fine. But after what it took to get them back I'd like to be certain.
Thanks in advance for taking time for this. And thank you for sharing your Rom with us. Great job.

Right on, thanks for confirming that.

Hey all,
Anyone had any experience with Gameloft support?
I rooted my phone, but had already purchased 3 games from Gameloft so I lost them. I have been emailing support (with receipts) for 8 days now asking for new download details, and the only response I get is from their automated reply.
I want more of their games, but after this experience I may just have to get them all... in an alternative way
Anyone else experience similar?

Ok my bad, didn't think that one through. I lost the data when I flashed the bootloader.
I had a similar experience, 3 days without reply, then i went onto their support forums and put the request there, got an answer the following morning.

When you download a gameloft game the .apk should be in the downloads folder of your memory card... surely that should still be there...

Ive never had a problem with support with gameloft, if i lost an apk i just emailed support, they then sent an email link or a text link with the download. Modern combat 2 didnt work poperly so they asked me what game i wanted for free to keep while they worked on a patch, got myself real football 2011 for nothing. Just be pleasant to the support team and youll get better responses
Just to let everyone know all Gameloft Games for the Xperia Play are £1 for 24 hours!!!! Get em while their cheap.
Could i buy them now and wait until i get my xperia play and then put them on it?
Cheers mate, thanks for the heads up :-D

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the links to download the games?
My handset isn't loading the 'nopuk.netsizeonline.com' site which enables you to download the relevant files.

Busy changing their credit card details
For the past few hours the site hasn't worked. I managed to start to download the APK for a game before I was having problems, however it failed.
I can now access the site again, but all games are showing as £3. What's going on? I assume the offer has finished, but I wasn't able to take advantage of it because the website wasn't working... :-(
Also worked fine for me, have an account, so just a simple login and one click buy :-D Got three games...
Regards Dousan...
I got me a fivers worth, thanks for the heads up.
anyone else bought assassins creed and thought £1 was way to much to pay!
ive had more entertaining farts.
Thanks for the heads up, got another couple
Their Support is disgraceful, I have been emailing them daily for the past 2 weeks with zero replies.
I had bought 3 games before I flashed my phone, then lost them & have been emailing support for fresh download links but they are ignoring me. For anyone else with same problem, I figured out a workaround - the initial small file that you download got saved to my SD card under the download folder of my Dolphin browser. I just installed from there & it let me download the 200Mb portion & all is working again.
I bough 9 Games while there £1 haha, i cant get modern combat 2 to work though, it launches the first time to download the data but then force closes, i mite try deleting it and installing again
Lol, I bought splinter cell yesterday.... wondered why it was only £1

does modern combat 2 work for you? mine keeps force closing
Anyone heard anything about when the tablet optimised version of this is likely to hit? I've got it running on the Iconia but it's not the smoothest experience. Much better on my Xperia Arc at the moment! Hoping 3.1 will bring an improvement.
when you say running how long does it last before it FC? I just walk for less than a minute it bam fc....
works great for me. Only the character select screen lags a bit. I'm using 1.0.1 on the leaked 3.1 build.
Mine doesnt crash but the display doesnt fit properly and it lags. However I am still on 3.0.1 so heres hoping it will work after update!
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
Wow OK updated to 1.0.1 and its very good, even the cut off parts are gone. Well what I mean is there is no more cut off well just look at the pics below I'm currently using virtous Picasso 1.0.2 and other was on prime rom.
How did you get it to run on the Iconia?
Market wont let me download because its not compatible with my Acer A500??
Edit: nevermind, did a search for all devices version and could install the bugger
Purchased it from a compatible device tho, just to be on the legal side....
Question now is: i wont get updates the normal way now because Iconia market does not show the game even if purchased, grmpf:
Guess for the long term we have to wait for a lazy gameloft dev to extend the compatibility list for the game (played about 2 hours w/o a single crash yesterday, so the Iconia can handle the game sweetly.
Anyone managed to buy stuff @ ingame store?
For me connection just times out...

Yeah, same here. Times out every time
dont know if it just me but anyone have the "your system is not compatible"?
I been playing really good logged off then I tried logging back in and nada.
Maybe Gameloft finally detected the non approved system and blocked it?
No such issue here...
For me it force closes from time to time just after during startup (same applies to some other games/apps).
Also i had a "License invalid" once, but after another restart it was ok.
Its that day finally... Downloaded this morning , and started playing... its like going back in time... the controls are not to bad, but i can see the six axis app being a great help...
GTA3 Market link
anyone else playing?? what do you think?? any cheats for all weapons yet???

the link works fine for me... but shouldn't this thread be in the themes and apps forum?
i couldn't figure out how to play using the sixaxis app but what controllers are compatible?
the link is working, but I can't download because it is saying that none of my devices are compatible with the game. The A500 is in the list of compatibles devices.
Does anybody known how to resolve this?
I was using the Thor rom and couldn't get the game because it kept saying my device was incompatible. I switched over to the Honeylicious rom, the game downloaded fine and it runs without a problem.

I'm on stock 3.2 unrooted. Any ideas?
Not sure why you wouldnt be able to get it on stock 3.2... Im on a rooted 3.2 and it dled without any issue...
I'm still running stock 3.2 and it downloaded with no problems for me.
me too, market says my acer iconia is incompatible when I checked just now. I remember that it was still compatible a couple of days ago when it was released. I should have downloaded it then.
Any reason for rockstar to remove a500 in the compatible list?
It happenned to me also. I was on Lightspeed 1.7 , I switched to Honeylicious and same problem.
It works very well on the Acer tab a500. Don't know why it's not available on the Market.
Hopefully, the apk is available elsewhere...
works well with my iconia (lightspeed 1.0.7) and xbox 360 controller

Where did you get it from?
Is it available for you in the market or did you get it from other sources?
I'd hate to go to the tpb when i'm willing to pay.

Same here, no GTA III : 10th AE for me. A501 from frys.com. 3.0.1 on board. It shows in Tegra Zone, but after redirecting to Market it says it cannot be found or sth like that.
Brutalpanda,
As everybody knows, they're other places than the Android Market to get apps for android devices on internet...
This was a very poor decision by RS Games. I bought the game on December 15 much like many other people on here probably did. I still have the game installed and everything runs well, but I would now be forced to backup the apk in order to make sure I can reinstall it later if I were to switch roms or whatever. Hopefully they bring support back soon, would be nice being able to download future updates.
I a company makes it harder (and really in this case impossible) for me to purchase something from, how could I feel guilty for obtaining it surreptitiously?
p.s. pirate bay is wholly unnecessary

I believe I went with the third link, but first looks the same
Ok enough with the BS.
I got it, it runs fine on my Iconia.
I don't know what incompatibilty there is, but I've been trying for three days to get it from the android market. three days!
I flashed several different roms on my device including asus and motorola based ones! I even unsuccessfully tried to change my build.prop.
Nobody can say I didn't try.
I got it from a famous link site, I should have started there, i would have played the game the whole week-end instead of flashing roms.
Nicely done Rockstar.

Which is exactly why I changed my rating from a five to a two.
"I currently have the game installed in my Acer Iconia Tab A500 and everything works perfectly. It seems that Rockstar Games has decided to remove support for my device at least for the interim and I don't really appreciate that. It works very well for my particular device and Rockstar Games is now shooting itself in the foot since some people with unofficially supported yet capable devices will be unable to obtain the game legitimately which means their only option will be piracy."
Hello everyone
I just got N.O.V.A. 3 for my Iconia A500 (ICS 32GB WiFi only) but after the intro sequence and right after the character stands up, the game freezes and then closes.
I would like to know if there is a fix for this problem.
Thanks in advance!!!!!!

Ok Boys and Girls, read the rules.

You all ought to know better. So let's hope this doesn't go "that" direction.

I have this problem with all of my gameloft games (all paid for)some Tom's don't allow me to play any games bought from the wap store (like the free games that I got for buying the a500) but all play store games work great.
