I haven't got it running on the A70S. I downloaded the demo, but in the install process, it said it required a feature my device doesn't have. Too bad; this is one of the only games I play on the PC, and I rarely get a chance to anymore. I'd play it a lot more on my tablet.

I got it working on my A43... had to edit /etc/permissions/handheld_core_hardware.xml and add the line:
Then tried downloading Wesnoth again, and it installed.
This requires root access of course... I'm using UrukDroid which makes that easier. Hopefully the same can be done with the stock firmware too.
FYI, I figured this out by installing aLogcat... when the install failed earlier due to a missing feature, it printed out what that feature was in the log.
Code: Select all
<feature name="android.hardware.screen.landscape" />

Just a note, this didn't work for me. A70S, Chulri's root.

Hi guys! I am surprised that this topic has so little discussion. The game is the best strategy! It's a shame it doesn't work on gen8.
Tried editing handheld_core_harware.xml on my A101it gen8, did not work. Still says some features missing. Any other suggestions?
