Mostly for Gaming on the Dell Streak 7?

I was thinking about getting the Streak from Staples but mainly just for gaming, would all of you recommend it for gaming only?
I would love to get a Asus TF but for 1/2 the price and i only want to game with it, the streak seems perfect.
What do you think?

If you're never to far from a power plug, it's really no different than any other portable gaming console but with more features.

Do most market games run pretty decent on the streak, i was wondering also?

Every one I've played runs fantastically; especially the Tegra Zone games, of course (not because they run any better, but because they're ususally a higher quality in terms of graphics and frame rate).
Basically, you can expect the S7 to run everything from the Market as well as any of the top dogs out there because they all run the Tegra 2 processor (XOOM, ASUS Transformer, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Atrix, G2X, etc.).

Thanks for the info, you pretty much made up my mind to get one now.
Also anybody recommend any particular custom ROMS for just gaming by chance as well?

use strekdroid 1.3 for gaming you can overclock it. Just know that gameloft doesnt support the dell streak 7 sucks but you can get most of there games to work just use tegra based games i have 21 gameloft games on my streak all work perfect also if you root it you can use chainfire to get more games to work that dont support tegra chip set like Madden

I second StreakDroid 1.3, but be advised it doesn't support bluetooth, so no Wiimote+classic if you're using emulators. Honestly, though, you ought to be fine on stock. Just replace the homescreen.

i guess you can say i steal them but i have bought over 20 games from gameloft for my other phones so if they dont support it what am i to do.chainfire 3d emulates other chipsets so you can play games made for powervr and anderno on your tegra device

[Q] All Tegra titles working on O3D?

I've been having trouble getting tegra games to show up and appear compatible for the longest time. Now I think I've partially done it. I've noticed I can finally see more gameloft titles such as NOVA 2. However, there are still games that aren't working. If I go to TegraZone and click on glowball or the Elder Scrolls V Skyrim live wallpaper it says my device is not compatible. Perhaps these are only for Tegra 3? Does chainfire 3d market fix give support for tegra 3 apps, or do we need to edit our build.prop for a tegra 3 device? If so, which device and what do we change?

There is a method you need to use to get them working on an imcompatible device, search the forums.

I've tried different methods... I've only been able to get as far as getting Tegra 2 games to work, that's why I'm asking after I've searched. I can't seem to bring up anything regarding Tegra 3 games.
Is Chainfire 3D supposed to make Tegra 3 games compatible or only up to Tegra 2?

[Q] I am going to buy a galaxy note in 2 weeks..need to knw about game compatibility

I have read in your gaming thread that many games are not compatible with galaxy note.As i am a gaming freak.itz the main reason i want to buy galaxy note.I want to know in future will this game compatibility issue will be taken care of?or will games be released compatible with the high resolution of note...plz help me...thanx in advance

Tintin from Gameloft
So far, a few games are not quite compatible with the Note, in the sense of looking too "soft" as they were not designed for the larger screen. The most notable fail for me is Adventures of Tintin in HD, which I was excited about seeing on a larger screen, as I purchased it when I owned the Galaxy S2. But the game is a different 2D version (horrible, ultra-pixelated 1980s game kind of look) on the Note. Subsequently, Gameloft prevented Note users from downloading the game but there's no refund. What a bummer, and certainly not an extremely pleasant experience dealing with the customer service, who sounded too matter of fact about it.
I suggest that you list the games that are critical to you, and some of us can help to check.

for me, gta3 ran when i downloaded over wifi, but not when i downloaded over 3g (probably due to crappy 3g in australia leading to corrupted files).
there are many different gta 3 versions on the market, there should be one for your area.
as for gameloft games, most dont really work too well. gameloft arent too great with their device support yet, but theyre not as bad as ea games.

Hey I also game a lot and I just got my galaxy note.
From the gameloft games, I am able to run (well):
- backstab
- asphalt 6
- brothers in arms 2 (there is a free version on the market)
- modern combat 3 (now available on the market)
What I am trying to run but can't:
- tintin (2d version...no way to get the normal one, I also copied the data over but nothing)
- 9mm - doesn't download the data: incompatible device
- shadow guardian : tried the galaxy tab version...data downloaded, gameloft logo than back to main screen
- rainbow six shadow guardian: the desire hd version i bought some time ago doesn't run. I am trying a samsung version now...downloading the data still don't know whether it will work
- let's golf 3: nothing...incompatible device. copying the data over doesn't help.
Other games:
- dead space: not on the market but you can find it and runs flawless
- shadowgun: no problems. available on the market
- shine runner : on the market
- riptide gp: same
- GTA 3 should run without problems...i still have to buy it, i have to finish some games before playing gta.
- sprinkle : flawless (no black bars on the sides)
- reckless racing
And of course some other minor games from the market...of course angry birds, cut the rope, apparatus and some others....but i am more interested in 'gameloft' games and unfortunately no game (apart from modern combat 3) is officially working. To get some to work you have to manually do everything...and not always work. That's why i am trying all the games (which I had bought and never played...what luck now they don't work on the new phone -_-) too see how many i can get to run.
Anyway in January gameloft should update most of the games and get them to run on the device. I am sure they are working on it.

So far every game I have has played perfectly on the note So no problems for me. But then again I don't play any of those games that you play. I'm a casual gamer (puzzles, word games, etc). I highly recommend the Note.
If any games don't run NOW, they probably will because all developers have to do is tweak their configurations.

good news for the original poster

[Q] THD game vs Non THD game

I have been trying to play Princess Punt THD version for O2X and it didnt run as smoothly as the normal one. Just a question in my mind, THD version, isn't it optimize for Tegra 2 Phone?

Well that one will be more detailed and using more resources so the strain will be heavyier on the phone than using the normal one made for most phones.
Iv played the optimized version anyway and experienced no problems other than its a crap game, maybe its your rom or you havnt cleared enough memory before launching the game what ever the case it works fine.... its you.

Are you using stock rom? It may cause by ran is low. Try to kill task b4 enter the game.

Usually most THD games have more detailed textures, but it doesn't necessarily mean they give more strain for the CPU. For the most part all THD games I've played run as smooth as their non THD counterpart.

Btw I have no problem running Princess Punt THD.

Hahaha, i am on "temasek's KANG build P204-69", so i guess i shall stick to the non- THD version.

just tried THD version on ICS 4.0.3 Kang3 runs without a glitch!

Yes it does the textures are larger so take longer to call into memory but it's made with the tegra 2 in mind so should be fine.
Tegra enhanced games are made to make use of the spare processing power and gpu memory that is left over so ofc the CPU is now under heavier load that's the bloody idea of these enhanced games to make use of the extra power if only you realised how stupid what you said just sounded.....

Shadowgun cm7 milestone questions

Bought Shadowgun yesterday and I tried to download the additional 250mb but after the first file is downloaded the app is closing. Tried few times but it's the same. I'm using ext2 1gig partition and I have a samsung 32gb class 10 memory card.
My other question is will shadowgun run on the milestone with chainfire3d?
Thanks!

Helló
Akkor nem én vagyok az egyetlen ezzel a problémával
BY THE WAY I installed ChainFire 3D and then i could download all the files needed but the game is still not running. After the new game intro video the game's crashed so I don't have any clue that we gonna play that or not. I'm looking for a solution that might help us to play with it. Same goes for Deadspace tho i could play with it once already with a nice fps but after the 2nd playing it becomes laggy and ish sooo... But as soon as i have any ideas, i'll let you know

Could you play?
Did you manage to play?

Milestone have a small Ram and Temple run don't work, shadowgun too. Maybe create a swap, maybe help
Sorry for my english

I play so many games
Hey. Just want to let you guys know that i play Temple run 2 without any lag! Extreme road trip 2, Angry grany run, Zombie Road Trip, Turbo Kids,
Splinter cell HD, Nova HD, Asphalt HD, League of Evil, Sandstorm, Subway Surfers(after recent updates i can't play), Dungeon Hunter HD AND MANY MORE.
Shadow gun.. I downloaded hte 250mb it asked via wi-fi. Although it said 250mb it downloaded 470mb!
I ran it with Chainfire 3D and after selecting play it just crashed :/
I'm running CM7.2.4e. Using minimod's open recovery with which i can overclock it and it comes with supercharger kit.
Phone running at 1150 mhz and supercharged for gaming. And of course i use Chainfire 3D
How do i run it lag free? First i go to running services and stop everything that is running except settings. I get around 90MB free ram
I'm happy with my MILESTONE
Share with some tips and tricks if you have some
Hope my info was helpful

i think kernel is the key
just tried this shadowgun,running smooth but rather boring
im playing aralon hd and rainbow6 hd
using droid as a portable multifunction device
running at 125-700mhz and about 100m ram available
steel droid v11.0 removed/frozen some sys apps
swapping 64m on /data swappiness tune to 100
in my case, sc doesnt improve performance a bit and over 700mhz doesnt help in addition to drain battery quickly and get chip hot
i think kernel is the key
