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!)

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.

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?

Hi
i have a question im want to play plants vs zombies and other good games on android - Xperia X8 but i didn't figure out which rom is the best i wanted a rom with bravia hack[yes i know its pretty much nothing but i like to have it] and xLoud but cant find good right now im on LinuXperia Escha Arch 3.5 it is pretty good but i have major difficulities trying to play PVZ the thing is it's starts but very randomly[not all the time quite often it just crashes at loading] and when it starts i cant write my nickname in game and without you cant play and why i cant write my name? becuse keyboard just dont shows up so i tried others keyboards and none of them worked
So my question is on which gingerbread rom with bravia hack and xloud[and there need to be dsp manager becuse without it i cant use playerpro] i will be able to play Plants vs Zombies
and Yes im using chainfire 3D with powervr plugin
GingerCruzt maybe? It has both xLoud and Bravia engine. Try it and check does PvZ work.
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
i tried and it doesnt even start to load crash after pop cap logo
on a froyo rom this game works, not on cm7..cm6 have more compatibility with apps
This game crash because we have low RAM.
This can be solved by using Chainfire especially in Android 2.2.
For Android 2.3, you must use a ROM which is very lite and have much free RAM to play it, and the result is not very good and will cause random pop out in the loading or during the game. A temporary solution is restart the phone and play the game with "fresh" condition.
For Android 2.3, the best solution is use a custom kernel which is support SWAP, create a swap file/partition which is minimum 96mb, then you can play the game without any problem.
PvZ also crash before I enable swap on my phone, and now it works even without chainfire
If you don't want swap, you can:
either write your nick in messaging for example, copy it and paste in PvZ, this will allow you to create profile without popping out the keyboard
or use a froyo rom as suggested
ok so my question is which froyo rom is the best is it froyopro?
update
tried froyopro still crashes before loading
Try minicm6, I am using it and it is very fast and smooth for gaming...
i'll tell you mate i tried most of roms on our forum pvz is always going to crash if free ram isnt enough the only way is swap.
well i have a class 2 sdcard so swap isnt going to be usefull i guess so i always restart my phone use a task killer and enjoy the game
u have to face the fact that we've got low ram
cheers
i tried MINICM6 it is really fast i can get by just killing app in GO launcher EX like a ~95 MB of ram but Plants vs Zombies still dont work
OMG why tell me why on minicm7 and nAa kernel STILL dont work there need to be other way for this freaking game
for play this game you need a froyo rom ( for me for games minicm 6 it's better or froyobread 12, i never test froyo pro)
you need chainfire pro, and plugins. you need instal a plugin like powervr.. i see somewhere that you need nvidia plugin but i think that with powervr it works too.
this game only works on a froyo rom and you need chainfire pro and plugins test and you see
i know that you need a chainfire i wrote that but anyway somehow i make game to work it probably has something to do with cyanogenmod performance settings and game started
MINICM7 with nAa i could probably get this game to work with froyo but it's good rom and ginger so im stick to it
I played PVZ with chainfire without plugin, and it should not needed plugin neither.
That was chainfire 1.8?(i forget), and Floyo 2.0
But still, very recommended to unlock bootloader and flash custom kernel.
plants vs zombies on my phone gingerdx
working way 1
install chainfire3d and enable 16bit
( no plugins ) (some lag if more zombies are coming and eat your brain )
or
working way 2
use swap ,
you do not need install chainfire3d (no lags )
you can use keyboard here
I have a nook color running phiremod 7.2
I have noticed a lag while playing games like Angry Birds. Angry bird space is unplayable it lags so much.
Is there a setting I should change? CPU speed? Or do I need to change ROMS?
Thanks
Ryan
I would start by updating to cyanogenmod 7.2 stable. How old is the ROM you are using right now? Sometimes its best to do a data and a cache wipe once and awhile just in case you corrupted your kernel base through updates. You will need to do this if you want to go from CM7 to CM9.
You can do this with the options in ROM manager along with clockworkmod. A nandroid backup first is recommended.
I use the built in overclocking with these cyanogenmod builds, I got mine overclocked to 1200 mhz. Any higher and you start running into problems with stability. I use the "on demand' governor within those options.
I have had no lag whatsoever on my nook playing all of the angrybirds apps. Might want to add a speed script you can find here after you update. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508481
The only time I notice any lag is through the Opera browser I am using when trying to watch HD video on youtube, I just chalk that up to the processor bogging down.
Test the ram if this is an issue, by killing with task manager all that is running, before you start the game.
It's not right to use task manager like this, but at least you could check if this is the trouble maker.
Unleashed from my Revolutionized Desire HD
I checked the ram ant it was not the issue. Iended up installing cm7.2 and everything is working much faster and smoother
Thanks for the help!

Hi everybody,
are you able to play any gameloft games on your ms2 with cm10?
EA games like Dead Space and NFS Most Wanted are working finde, also GTAIII is working(damn laggy but working).
But i'm not able to run gangstar or nova for example.
Just list here which games you are running, and which you'd recommend.
It would also be nice if you add which version of cm10 AND much more important which version of the game you are using.
I would add the first post with a list of working/recommended games if you like.
Thx guys!
Modern Combat 3 seems to be working fine with the latest 10/11 build. Never got it to work before, I'm guessing due to a lack of free RAM.
Yes, it seems that pretty most of Gameloft games have troubles with CM10 compatibility. Some of them are not compatible with ICS as they are not running on CM9 as well. And some seem to have troubles with our hardware, or drivers, as they run on Rondoval's CM9 and fail on Tezet's CM9/10. Here is my practice:
NOVA: running, but has white screen. Seems to be a display driver problem (worked fine on CM9).
NOVA 2 HD: not running at all.
Gangstar Miami Vindication HD: not working (worked on CM9).
Gangstar Rio: seems to be working well.
Splinter Cell Conviction HD - partially works, but has multitouch bug. That is when you actively use 2 fingers simultaneously (i.e. running and aiming), the game crashes with some kind of overflow in logcat. Seems to be the grafics driver error, because the same error reproduced in all Gameloft games on the Tezet's CM9, but on the Rondoval's one worked well. However, the game is playable when you try not to use 2-fingers touch - but not recommended, of course.
Asphalt 5 HD, 6 HD - no problems at all, recommended.
BackStab HD: seems to be working.
bad
yeah yeah...
these games are cool.
i'm running even chaos ring on my MS2.
my whole problem is with Rage of Bahamut. besides it's laggy, i'm having trouble with the screen and it crashes all system also.

i had no problems with games.
I have a nook color running CM7 with FPSE. I am trying to see what roms and setting give the best result with FPSE. I can run games like FFVII and tenchu with sound pretty well, but other games such as command &conquer and Tekken 3 run with lag.
•. Does open GL work well?
•. Are there better roms to use with fpse?
•. What are the best combination of settings like framelimiter, supsync sound, ...
thanks
I'm not too experienced with Fpse but know that I was able to run Spyro 3 full speed with no lag running cm7. You shouldn't have to change any settings, but make sure you check the compatible list of PlayStation ROMs here :
