Database Develop

[REF] Gathering List of Tested-Working Android's Apps & Games on X1

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!)

Someone other than you can confirm that?
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][11-10-2​010] 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,

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?

[Q] Android Games and Apps

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...

shadowgun issues

Has anyone else had problems running Shadowgin on the tablet with gtacomb 3.3?

i just tried it on C+C rom, it runs but has graphic glitches. some objects and path graphics are missing, but otherwise it plays fines

Yep running flashback 10 and it wont dl game data past 25%. Same is happening on alot of HC phones/tablets. My friend is running a froyo rom on his gtab and he said it runs great.

I tried it on Flashback HC rom and it wouldnt work, i then tried it with C+C and it flows smooth except that alot of the background images are not there. I wish someone knew a fix for this. So in other words, the game is playable with C+C but alot of the graphics are missing.

I abandoned flashback and went back to mountain laurel and shadowgun runs perfectly without any glitches or missing graphics. This game is amazing! Best tegra 2 game yet! Also runs normal on brilliant corners.

Thanks for the info. i'll definetly try it on the mountain laurel rom.

Will not install past 25% on Gtabcomb 3.3. I think I've just about had it with the lack of a stable honeycomb rom on this tablet.

On Beasty and Clemsyn rom the game (version 1.0.2) can be installed without problems, but it's so f**king slow that there is no way to play to it.
I also think that some objects were missing, but I'm not sure because the gameplay was so slow that I couldn't even move around to confirm that.

Crashes on VEGAn 5.1.1
It installed fine and plays the cut scenes great but once the actual game starts and I start to move my player around and begin shooting my screen gets black for a few seconds and then the desktop appears without any of the icons/widgets on it and runs super sluggish until I reboot it. Sometimes it reboots itself but not always.
This 15 minute refund window sort of blows. Especially with games like this that you have to download additional content (250 MB for this one) that eats up that 15 minutes.
Tried it on CM7 and it crashed too. In fact, it didn't even get as far as when I ran it on VEGAn 5.1.1.

I was on gtabcomb 3.3, installation stopped after 25%, so downloaded sd data from external link but game always crashed upon loading after intro hd movie
then i tried tnt lite, game ws running fine but it had many glitches
then i installed mountain laurel, the game ran quite well and everything was perfect other than the fact that i cannot connect my external ps3 dualshock 3 to it
is there any way to connect it since the sixaxis controller app for gtablet is not able to connect my ds3 with gtablet, it was working fine with gtabcomb....

I tried it on Montain Lauren and I still have mising graphics. It sucks that even games developed for Tegra devices can' work well on our tablet.

That's what im running and I have no glitches or missing graphics. Im using the kernel that came with it. Did u put a different kernel on it? A couple times it ran choppy so I used the task manager and ended all tasks and then it ran smoothly.

im just gonna have to wait till someone updates my ROM.

Used Chainfire 3D with Plug-ins to make it work a bit
I have a gTab running VEGAn 5.1.1 and Shadowgun would crash/force-close/reboot my gTab as soon as gameplay would start. It would play fine for the cut scenes but as soon as the cut scene was finished and you were allowed to move your character around the game would quit.
I almost gave up on the game after I paid money for it but then read about this app in the Market called Chainfire 3D (there a free version and a paid version - the paid version is what I used to make this work). After I installed the free version first and then upgraded to the paid version and then installed the plug-ins (3 in all - I saved them to the root of my sdcard) and then went into the settings for it and selected Shadowgun in the list of Per-app OpenGL settings and unchecked the Use Default Settings and played around with the other settings to see if I could get this game to run. The ones I am using now are Reduce Texture Quality and Disable MapBuffer EMU.
After setting this up I was able to actually play a part of the first level without the game crashing. I've attached the plug-in files as they are a bit hard to find on the net (but you can find them via Google with a bit of luck).
Hopefully this helps some folks.
Update: here's a helpful link with instructions. http://brockhatfield.com/2011/11/01/tutorial-shadowgun-on-non-tegra/
Another Update: After messing with this for a while and actually trying to play through the first level I began to experience crashes and reboots again. So, I've sent the developers of both Chainfire 3D and Shadowgun and politely asked them for refunds. Hopefully they will agree.

I have no problems running it on mountain laurel but I know everyone has their own favorite rom. The only bad thing about chainfire is your losing out on some of the great HD & effects.

Success finally.

After reading your post I decided to make the leap from 1.1 bootloader ROMs to the 1.2 bootloader version ROM you mentioned. It was a real pain due to the fact that each time I installed the VTL Launcher my gTab crashed and force closed like crazy and wouldn't let me even get to the home screen.
I had to hard boot it each time (I tried this three times just to make sure that was the problem) and had to NVFlash to the original 1.1 bootloader rooted ROM and then using ClockworkMod I had to flash the latest stock version 3588 TnT Rom. This gave me the stock restore option which I then used to flash the latest Mountain Laurel ROM from Roebeet.
With Mountain Laurel I am able to play Shadowgun without any of the aforementioned issues and I didn't have to use any third-party apps like the Chainfire 3D app I mentioned in my earlier post. It's not as fast as VEGAn 5.1.1 but I guess we can't have everything.
Anyway, my only issue now is not being able to use the VTL Launcher with this ROM. I've read the posts on that other site I won't mention but I haven't had any luck. Every time I install VTL Launcher and restart my gTab it goes into force close mode and becomes unusable. I read that the ADW Launcher has the same issue with this ROM.
Aside from that problem I like this ROM. It runs everything I ran on VEGAn 5.1.1 and then some (Shadowgun).

Yeah, I love this tablet because it was one of the first out of the gate last year with the hardware that it comes with but I am with you on the frustration. Although I have to mention that I played the entire first level and I didn't notice any missing graphics. I am using the stock Mountain Laurel ROM without any custom CPU overclocking or modified kernels.
I already sold my other gTab and might finally decide to part with this one once I get a chance to play with the soon to be released Asus Transformer Prime with the quad-core chip.
Until then I still get plenty of use out of this one and I thank all of the modders, hackers, crackers, tweakers and coders that have put in all the effort and sharing the results they discovered and developed during the past year to make this tablet truly useful.

I´m new here, and i have a problem...
I have downloaded Shadowngun for my Sony Ericsson WT19i, and everything went well.
The main menu started up smotthly, and when I started a New Game for the first time, the intro showed. I watched the whole intro, and just when I was about to play, the game FORCE CLOSED for no reason! :<
Can ANYONE please help? I am dying to play it!

Runing Real Racing 3

I decided to get the dust out of my milestone just to use it as my portable console, I used to play n64 there, and some psx games, now I upgraded to 4.1, and real racing just won't start, I tought it was a ram capability issue, so I downgraded to 4.0.4, now I'm at the lowest point the game is available 2.3.x and it won't start; the game will download every file the first time I install it, then It starts playing music and stops, the app crash.
any ideas on why is happening?

any way to improving ram up to at least 200 more mb? or make the system?

No way.

[Q] Problem with playing games

Hi guys,
I have a Nook HD+ running 4.3 stable. I've downloaded the Flappy Bird game (latest version) and it runs slow as hell. I compare it to my iphone 4 and my friend's galaxy tab 3. Both of them run very smoothly. Is there something wrong with the game or the Nook? Is it the GPU or the screen resolution?. I used to have the same problem with Candy Crush, but when I unchecked the Disable HW overlays in Developer options. It's much better. But it isn't the same in Flappy Bird. Do you guys have a solution for this? Thank you very much!

Possibly over simplification of game's graphic settings. Games should scale for various gpu's but if the user has no way to do so some devices will have bad fps.
Sometimes as in the case of hw overlays the few android options work but otherwise the chance should be greater that it needs to be fixed by the developer.
Some games allow setting tweaking in a roundabout way and sometimes there are apps that make it easier.
Not to mention any other problems....

Weird.
The HD+, despite it's processor struggling to power its REALLY REALLY high res screen, is still really strong. So it's strange that the device can't play Flappy Bird. I'd understand if you tried High graphics on Asphalt 8, but.
Maybe try verygreen's EMMC CM11?
