Interesting. Are you saying the stock kernal has no swapfile support? Can somebody check with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roehsoft.meminfo ? I do not have root yet.
Shield games Portal and half life?
- Thread starter hsclater
- Start date
Now I'm test for add init.d and activate swap because in features of kernel there is swp

The problem is init.d I try to add this without sucess, if someone do a flashable zip or another mod to add this feature on our device I happy to test.

I add init.d with success but the swap work also without it, i test this script that need initd and works, I test also the app share by chaps and works whitout initd the only problem was path of swap, I haven't got an external sd and the swap file for work on intrnal sdcard will be located in /data. The swap works but i haven't got hl2 and portal and I can't test them. In attacched photo you will see that swap works.

I created a 2 gigabyte swap partition on my SD card and activated swap using AMemBooster. Using a Nyko Playpad pro I can complete the first section, but HL2 either locks up or crashes when loading the second section (after jumping out of the window). This is exactly the same as without a large swap file. Also, there may be GFX glitches. When Barney is talking to the Doc, the video feed on the monitor is corrupted.
Looks like it needs real RAM. Damn shame. Lets hope Valve do a TN7 version.

Have you used internal or external sdcard and if you used external what class is it? I try do swap in /data because I don't have a microsd and it works fine.

I'm using external class 6 SD. I've now configured the swap file on the internal memory (this was quite tricky). With a 512mb swap file on the internal 'SD', the HL2 no longer crashes between loading sections. The graphic glitches on the monitors is still present though.
Unfortunately, the game is virtually unplayable because the tablet periodically stops reading the controller input. In fact, it stops reading all input, even from the volume keys. The only way to continue seems to be to press the power button to turn off the screen, then again to turn it on repeatedly. Do you have this issue?
Half-Life 2 runs but will crash during loading screens.
Portal will run but unplayable due to full screen artifacts.
Not seen anyone get them working yet. They'll likely get ported to other devices at some point though. Valve would be crazy not to!

I test HL2 and works. First boot had crashed on loading screen me top, but after reopen game works. Salfai it doesn't requires root, bit for play it is necessarily a gamepad because it is projected for shield.

After much messing, I can get HL2 to run by setting up a 1gb swap partition on an SD card. There are a few gfx glitches though, water is messy as are video screens.]
I tried both games when a git my TN7 but no one worked. I'll try it again soon.
V25 are disponible for both games, if someone could try.

They way I did it is to use aparted (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sylkat.AParted&hl=en ) to create a 1gig swap partition on my sdcard, then use AMemoryBoost (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sylkat.alinuxtools&hl=en ) to enable the swap before launching the game. after quitting the game I reboot the tablet.
This way, the swap partition is only used for the duration of the game play to reduce the wear on the sdcard. I find having a constant swap file slows the tablet too.
You need to root your tablet first of course.
Yea! It theoretically work, but it don't support tegra note 7 should be a right consideration of Valve.
I found that:
After removing many official app, it just have about 550Mb ram left. Sometimes just 260Mb ram left...
Tablet become very hot.

Hello,
Half Life v30 on stock rom work good. Only issue for me is non working dpad (sixaxis and 360controller).

I tried and it worked like a charm, in portal i played to chamber 13 then quit since it would become harder and harder to play with gamepad and i just wanted to test though, with hl2 i let the game go through intro then i quit
They both work, v30 each, i used logitech f710, and quite supprise that the note regconize it even in xinput mode, so definitely it would go well w/ x360 controller no problem
Im uploading a video of me testing hl2 and portal soon, just to let everyone knows it works
