  strings.xml is empty...

  By default as Gideros import under Eclipse 'strings.xml' should look like:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="app_name">YourApp Name</string> </resources>

  I'll try adding that. Exported twice from Gideros and both were empty.

  No. Eclipse didn't like that.

  Example:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="app_name">Run Checkers</string> </resources>

  My version of Eclipse SDK
  Version: 4.2.1
  Build id: M20120914-1800
  
  one more thing: according to my project, you have some missed folders at list of import; look at my list:
  
  it looks that you have missed AndroidDependecies and Referenced Libraries folders...
  and have you imported in such way, look at:
  

  

  

  Run Checkers under Eclipse.png

  269 x 400 - 11K

  

  

  import.png

  528 x 632 - 41K

  Run Checkers under Eclipse.png 11.2K

  import.png 40.6K

  So these are not in the exported source. Do I add them manually?

  @ar2rsawseen I don't understand why the section for deployment is inactive still:
  http://www.giderosmobile.com/DevCenter/index.php/Main_Page
  FAQ section on the forum is looking poor also: a lot of things about third party's stuff and no single word about basic answer how to properly make export to Android or Apple device..
  @Waulok it should be added automatically, when you properly export from Gideros and import project under Eclipse.

  I Just go to EXPORT and pick a folder. Later I use IMPORT and point to the same place.

  Okay. I downloaded the latest version of Gideros and Eclipse has all the libraries. It exports an APK file which I try to load onto my HTC Wildfire S but it says "Application not installed".

  @fxone I was having health issues past few weeks, thats why the doc progress is so slow.
  
  @WauloK can you attach your device to PC, enable debug mode on your device and try running the app from within the eclipse?
  Then it would be possible to check LogCat for any specific errors.

  @ar2rsawseen I wish you a speedy recovery!
  @Waulok Under Eclipse's Android Device simulator is very, very low performance as you said and it's unfortunately normal

  Also very very slow if I send it to the Gideros Player on my Android device.
  
  Building and testing on the iPhone and iPad, however, were a dream and went quickly and easily compared to Android which is a pain.

  @WauloK if on Android's Gideros Player is very slow, it must be investigated in detail.. Code of your game template without gentle copyrighted stuff would help. I am not Apple's developer at all, so I have no comparing to this, but on my low-end Android's device with armv6 I can get ~59-60 FPS result without problem in any configuration: Gideros Player or exported apk for example at my new, not published yet platformer game based on tilesets. So such difference between platforms is strange and some cross-platform's developer from Gideros community (ca 95%) should take a look

  On my iPhone 5 and iPad mini, it runs at the right FPS. I wonder if it won't run on old Androids..
  Which would be annoying as it's not that taxing a game.

  @WauloK you can try installing any existing Gideros created games, just to check if they run ok, or not.
  
  All that I tested is HTC Desire and LG Optimus P500, both are really old, but on both Gideros apps usually run without any problem.

  I tested that Mazeballs or whatever it is. Works fine no problems.
  Had another friend try to install the APK on his newer Android but got the same error.

  Either change the code to use the new bitwise operators (the code will run faster) or at the top of the project list of files you will see 'plugins', right click it and add the 'bit' plugin. The built-in players come with loads of plugins pre-installed - but if you export then you need to tick the ones you want as it will affect the game size.
