How to install Full Games
Since you don't have access to the directories used by DoomGLES on your Phone from your PC, you will have to install an http server on a PC on your LAN (your phone needs to be connected to this LAN too, in wifi).
From the DoomGLES launch page, you will be able to download needed data from this server.
Here I will explain how to do that with Miniweb on PC. You can use other http servers on another plateform if you wish.
Download Miniweb.
Unzip it somewhere on your PC harddrive.
In the "htdocs" newly created, copy the wad files of the Doom games you wish to play (doom.wad, doom2.wad, tnt.wad, plutonia.wad).
Then download OpenGLES datas & music files below and copy them in the same folder.
On DoomGLES launch window, select "SYNC ALL DATA". The app will ask you the IP address of the PC running miniweb. It is displayed in miniweb window (see below: 192.168.0.15 in the example).
Validate. Then the app will download all the data on your PC and unzip them.
When its done, you are back to the launch window. Select "GO TO GAME". Then the wad and options selection screen will be displayed. Select the wad you want to play, and the options you wish.
Finally tap "RUN"
If you wish to remove full games data, select "DELETE ALL" in the launch window.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: The game is too dark, how can can change brightness ? I barely see the touch interface, how can I improve that ?
A: Press the arrow icons on the doom guy face to display brightness correction & interface transparency controls.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: In Doom 2, I don't see the walls and floors, I and the ennemies are floating in the air.
A: You need Doom2 wad V1.9. Same thing for Doom the first, you also need Ultimate Doom V1.9
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: #@!!??!!, this is not the full game, I've paid for the full game !!!!
A: No, you paid for the engine port (months of work + support), not the datas. Same thing when you buy an emulator, you pay for the emulator (= the engine), not the games it emulates (= the datas) which are commercial materials you need to own.
Also, the game description on Google Play Store clearly states that:
"DoomGLES comes with Doom shareware datas.
If you own (ultimate) Doom and/or Doom 2, please go here to know how to install them
!!! FULL GAME IWADS ARE NOT PRESENT IN THIS RELEASE !!!"
