I install Android builds on my X1 just to open some low end apps and games.
Is there any way to just run apps on the x1 native ROM (WinMO)? I just want to play android games like zenonia 2, 3, illusia, and other low end games like irunner, moonchase, gamedev story and similar games.
It'd be like an emulator or something, (Crossfingers X)
It would be great, right? because then, developers won't have to do the whole android thing, just one smokin' hot android app emulator..
Your thoughts are interesting, but I think about normal emulators on pc etc.
So I think, emulators won't run the apps/games better than in Android.
The emulator will also have these/similar kernel android used.
PS. I hope you understand what I mean, it's a bit confusing^^
yeah i know
But then, just thinking..
It might be possible as there is YouWave for PC.. But I'm talking pure apps here, just apps no Android UI or anything else.
Of course X1 can't beat the high-end Android phone due to lack of gpu and low CPU power. You're prolly right, Android apps can't be expected to run better on X1. Android apps are for Android phone, but I was just thinkin. ... MAYBE...
X1 is an OK phone
X1 can play lowend games at a decent speed. But where are the games!? The developers abandoned Window Mobile and trust me, i've tried tons of android games on x1 and they work perfectly.
Again, HD apps is a different story. I'm talkin bout low end.
thanks for this
working for me fine. except if you have to press two button once. that wont work. like in a mtb trail game, where you need to accelerate and lean backwards...

Hi,
I'm running Dosbox on my Vario III (having followed a guide on these forums). It is very slow. I can run Ultima IV at a snail's pace, and later games (1990 onwards) - games with graphics to be honest - are totally unplayable.
This didn't seem to tally with how fast everyone else says Dosbox is. I tried another program called pocketdos, which manages to run Ultima 6, a much more cpu-intensive game at full speed etc. (but without sound because it doesn't emulate sound...)
So I'm concluding that Dosbox should be going a lot faster but isn't managing it on my phone. Any idea what the problem could be?
Another problem with Dosbox is that pressing the function or caps key quits the program, which means you don't have full run of the keyboard
Thanks,
ive tried dosbox on my kaiser and it was slow, but i think youl find it slow on most devices actually, i think its just a slow program?
Which version of DOSBox did you use?
I've just found n0p's edition of DOSBox v0.63 at http://n0p.tonych.info/?DOSBox_PPC
I doubt it will run good on anything newer than games from 1993-1994 though, but as long as it's not 3D games or anything, it should be worth a try
Yes, it's n0p's version that you shoudl try (see my related Bible at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...MS-)DOS (80x86) programs under Windows Mobile ) . But I've been reported it too is slow like hell on the Kaiser.
All in all, the Kaiser isn't a gaming / MM device...
Well I've already ran Legends of Kyrandia and it is flawless. The mouse pointer emulation is a little funky, but the game is fine. n0p did include some tips to get faster speeds:
1. Do not try to run "modern" games. Games released before 1993 should run OK.
2. Use core=verysimple setting where possible. But if you need full 386 emulation, use core=full.
3. Don't set cycles larger then 1000-2000.
4. Play with frameskip - 3-5 is OK for almost every game.
5. Overclock your processor (use XCPUScalar or similar). But use with care
6. If there's any GAPI "tweakers" for your PDA - use them.

And just a note; I haven't done steps 5 and 6 and it still runs great.
I've been struggling for the past 2, 3 months to find GOOD games for my xperia (3d graphics good performance appealing) I played experiment 13 (best so far) but thats about it, xtrakt really isn't as good as it is said to be. So i was thinking would it be possible to make a nintendo ds emulator or something similiar, ds would be perfect since it is very similar to xperia gaming, you touch on one place on the screen and press hardware buttons, (metroid for example would be the PERFECT xperia game, you walk around with w on the hardware keyboard aim with stylus and shoot with space or camera button or volume key) I know it's a long stretch but would it be impossible? Do you guys think the x1 hardware can handle that. if not is it impossible to modify the game itself to run as .exe or something, I've seen a guy run halo 1 on the xperia for gods sake (its on youtube) so it should be possible... also who remembers those classic shooting games that we played at the arcade, where you just aim and shoot as your character moves by himself through the levels? wouldn't that work great on the xperia as well?
http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/03/05/top-5-emulators-for-windows-mobile-mobile-minute/
i dont know where to find a DS one though but theres a GBA one listed there
One would think an ARM smartphone @ 528Mhz could be able to emulate the DS since it's also an ARM device (ARM7 33Mhz + ARM9 66Mhz) so there's not much emulation needed, but from my limited programming experience (3 courses in Java) i say it's not simple to code an emulator.. but the DS would be a interesting device to try to emulate, but except the dual ARM CPUs there's additional hardware needed to emulate...
Not to mention the dual screens would pose a problem, but that's less of a problem since a lot of games can be played only looking at 1 screen, one could maybe have the 2nd screen as a miniature at the side, since there would be some space left at a widescreen since the DS is 4:3.
But all that would be a long way to go...
(About the Halo 1 port.. THAT'D be impossible to "just run" by a few tweaks... i'm 100% certain it's fake and that you got fooled, probably a video of Halo 1 running at the Xperia.)
Me though, i'm hoping/waiting patiently for a WiiMote driver for Windows Mobile, that'd be awesome for NES/ other older consoles + some SNES games that doesn't require constant use of shoulder buttons... oh, as well as native WinMob games that support mapping.
Hello Everyone!
First Thanks to everyone who worked, working & will work on Android Development, specially for XPERIA X1.
And Thanks everyone who wants to help his/her friends in this big community that I learned a lot from.
The Purpose of this thread is listing all the apps that work properly on the X1.
Because as you know we have some hardware & software limitations in X1's Android such as:
Hardware: lack of accelerometer, compass & capacitive touchscreen; slow cpu ,etc. Software: lack of excellent drivers ,power management issue, etc.
So a list may be useful.
Then if you're agree, Let's start.
Please Don't list the names only. It would be better to include: A short explanation about the app or game & version number, the build you are using, the kernel you're using, how it works for you (for example laggy or smooth), & everything you think is necessary to run it & everything you think necessary to say.
I will try to keep the list updated.
Thanks

I like the idea. Let me start:
Doodle Jump (game) - game works smoothly, you just have to disable "Tilt" in options. Last time tested with 28-09-2010 CyanogenMod build + latest xdandroid kernel.
Fennec (web browser) - after waiting 5 minutes for fennec to start, interface showed up, but device froze (i had to do soft reset). Not recommended. Last time tested with 27/9 Tremere's Froyo.
Aldiko (eBook reader) - interface is little slow and sluggish, but it works without problems. Even functions like brightness control and turning pages with volume buttons. Last time tested with 28-09-2010 CyanogenMod build + latest xdandroid kernel.
Dolphin HD (web browser) - speed is about the same as stock android browser. It works fine. Last time tested with SuperFroyo build.
3d games working with CyanMod 6 (03.10.10):
fruit ninja-perfectly
ninja kaka-a lil bit worse
gangstar (gta analog)-perfectly
sandstorm-like on iPhone, smoooooth
N.O.V.A by Gameloft-having some lags
about 21 fps in each game i tested.
hey, yesterday i noticed an interesting fact- some android games which require accelerometer can be played on xperia without it (like Doodle Jump which we can try disabling "tilt")!!
plz someone test some of accelerometer games!)

You means "Gangstar: West Coast Hustle" ? Anybody can confirm that? This game is awesome, I'd like to play if it is playable "perfectly" on Xperia
yes, it works perfectly

I have problems with installing CM6.
Besides i've tested GameBoid. It Works perfectly.
I haven't tested 3D games yet.
yeees gameboid works)
gangstar works FOR ME perfectly
i am not responsible if it works on other person's CyanMod for x1
Hi there people.
As I'm interested in using android on my xperia, I just wanted to know how people manage to run 3d applications like N.O.V.A or Gangstar ?
I'm using Cyanogen Mod 6.0, that supports 3D(hope so).I wanted to know how people launch
3D games, because I could only run the 3D Racer from android market.Any other game I try to launch doesnt succeed (loading, black screen, error).
Thanks, and sorry for bad English.
Gameboid, Snesoid, Nesoid and Gensoid work well with Trememer's new build.
It works **** on Cyanogen. I wouldn't compare the two builds in performance but in terms of gaming tremere's>cyanogen

I also have the same problem on [CyanogenMod6 Update 03-10-2010] and [Barebone][CM6.1][11-10-2010] too. But I've just downloaded SD Files for each game and copy on SD card to gameloft folder, maybe we have to download additional files via WiFi and it will work? Unfortunately I don't have free WiFi connection :/ I also try Gameloft Game Launcher, but it didn't help for me. Maybe someone write a tutorial how to launch this games? We would be very grateful. Regards
Sorry for my english.
hi,
I tried The 3d talking tom cat,first time it didn't work,but after rebooting,it worked but a little laggy(low fps)
but i think in CM6 3d working it should work smoothly with good fps.

Hi there people,
Today i tried to install gameloft's real footbal 2010, and its working, but its too lagy i mean its running but with 8-12 frames per second.
30.10.2010. Tried NFS Shift, and its working, but without the g sensor it is not playable.

Can you upload some videos how you play that games? I tried million times, but any 3D game from gameloft doesn't work :/
Using "finally usable" release ( can't remember actual name right now)
Paper toss - Bad framerate. Animations are far from smooth, but still playable.
Angry birds - weird "scanlines" appear randomly. Also game won't respond when i start (or I just don't know how to play)
What about puting gathered data to first post?
Sent from my FRG83 by Neopeek using XDA App
help, i cant find angry bird game for winmo, please help..and post any links that u know about any .cab games for winmo
You cant find it?:O Strange. Did you even search the web if a WM version of angry birds even exists? I think it doesnt. and dont ask for an android emulator to run android version of the game. Face it. X2 the lames phone there is.
Well,thats a shame, since windows mobile is still averagely used now..not everyone can afford to change for a new phone each and every time the technology is outdated..sorry for my bad english
try google for huff & puff. its pretty close to angry birds.
check it on mobile9 i found it
Which angry birds are you looking for?
There is no .cab file for angry birds, but you can instal a .jar file.
The Problem is, the game is not for 480x800 resolution, so it won't run Full screen.
This is the best version for xperia X2 i found until now. I hope I could help you a little bit
http://gallery.mobile9.com/f/1815979/
Well, still many people using window mobile.. they are excellent with wifi almost as good as a laptop
Android couldnt catch wifi signal as good and most oftenly lost signal. I dont think Angry bird should be the main reason to get a new phone. Just get ipod touch or Galaxy player.
hi,
I know this too old to up this case again.
but, may be this info useful to someone.
I've long time ago install game that -pretty much similiar with angry bird- for my phone (windows mobile 6.5, wvga).
the cons of this game only: no sound at all. I'm not sure the game whether freeware or shareware, but I got when I bought the phone.
so, if allowed by moderator to upload the game, I'll upload later.
Dear Developers,
I am not much into mobile gaming, but I wanted to play a bit with Dungeon Defenders. I've installed the game, downloaded the content form the developers site, installed the game on the internal SD.
Unfortunately, the performance of the game is much lower than I expected on a TEGRA dual core device. The FPS is low, down to unplayable with multiple units at the dungeon.
Is there any solution for that? I have stock ROM, stock applications plus a few utilities (JuceDefender etc.) installed plus maybe 6 widgets.
Changing ROM is not an option for me as it voids warranty with my damn Polish LG branch :/
Help is very appreciated
Check if there are multiple other games running in the background like the pre instaled Shrek Karting and Spiderman games.
Kill the tasks or reboot and try again. I never played Dungeon Defenders much, but for the time I played it on the stock ROM it was absolutely smooth.

End all tasks using your task manager and then launch the game again, if for some reason the performance doesnt improve much then lower the video enhancement in the settings and that should make it run very smothly.
Overclocking to play this game helps alot too but it causes it to get hot like above 43c which isnt good.
Yes, the performance of this particular game on the O2X is embarrassing when you get to bigger maps such as the Ramparts. If you aren't playing it online, turning on flight mode will help a bit.
