[Q]Plants vs Zombies - ROM

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.

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

Some games don't work

Some games like The Sims 3 and others won't work. When I start the apps EA's logo appears (i'm talking about Sims), freezes at that screen and finally exits to app. Can I fix this problem? I used CM7 and now I use CM9, still won't work.

Cm9 not for daily use..use chainfire 3d in cm 7 reduce texture and then try...
add a thanks if it was helpfull

This solved the problem my girlfriend was having with Fashion Story on her Droid.
Thanks!

Chainfire won't do anything if the game dosen't start. I changed the CFW to FroyoMOD, the game starts, but it has a weird graphics bug. Chainfire reduces the textures so I can't see anything. The graphics bug is like on a computer, when you have Pixel Shader 2, but the game need Pixel Shader 3. So, there are white parts, at CAS (create a sim) everything but his body is white, and after creation, the envirnoment is white. What should I do next?

try chainging the version i used to play nfs shift and pes(pro evolution) without any problem... does the bug persist for every ea game?

Worms (that's from EA) works without any problem. I used all the versions, they all do the same. I tried with many ROMs and only FroyoMOD mangaged to open the game. On stock it was working fine, but stock is too goddamn slow.

it looks like a memory issue and the task killer in low memory in each rom, you should try stock rom but with overclock

[Q] Trying to take advantage of "Play Store" App Sale

So as the title states, I'm trying to take advantage of some of the killer deals being offered in the "new" Google Play Store. I downloaded Dead Space, Shadowgun, NOVA 2 and a few others.
The issue I seem to be having are with the more "graphically" intensive games, like the ones I previously mentioned, fully installing and or running on the device.
I suspect that the apps believe I'm using an iPad but I know others have been able to run these games from their Androidified Touchpad.
Was just curious if anyone knows a workaround or a solution on getting these games to install and/or run properly?
Thank You

No, the apps in the app store will never think your device is an iPad. Apps might look at the device's build.prop to determined compatibility. There is a modded build.prop you can download that changes the device to trick the market and apps that you're running a compatible device.
Samsung Captivate CM9 - Glitch Kernel | HP TouchPad CM9 - Bricked Kernel

Yeah, it's definitely not thinking you're on an iPad. However, it may be kind of similar since there is no official Android Touchpad, we have to mimic other devices. You may want to try the "rohan" update in the Dev section as it modifies parts of your build.prop. I was able to Shadowgun to download and start up. I still had problems with Dead Space, and havent' tried the Gameloft games yet.

I can confirm Dead space does NOT work with Rohan build prop on cm9 alpha 2. ShadowGun works great, its the best mobile game I've played, looks like gears of war on xbox360!!

I haven't been able to get any of the EA games to install (download additional files after market install). Tried with and without rohan mod. Nova 2 and Shadowgun work fine. Nova 2 was a kinda buggy

I also downloaded SHADOWGUN, NOVA 2, and DEAD SPACE. Shadowgun works fine on stock CM9 with no mods to build.prop...I tried to edit my build.prop and ended up having to restore a backup. if it does not work on CM9 i am thinking of loading my CM7 backup and editing the build.prop in there then update to CM9 with the games installed....dunno if it will work but might be worth a shot.
went off this link:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/7709-gameloft-compatibility-thread-with-working-version-s/
Edit:
CM7 with build.prop set to HTC Desire S allowed all GAMELOFT games to install and function (backstab, nova 2, and 9mm all work fine) DEADSPACE requires a 3g connection so i dont know how to get that going at all....
did HTC Desire S from info off this site:
http://www.everythingabouttablets.net/2012/01/02/get-asphalt-6-hd-running-on-your-cm7-touchpad/

I too can't get Dead Space to download the game data. I changed my build prop to 3 different devices, and nothing works. Bummer, I really wanted to play this game.

Funny that dead space works perfectly for me on cm9 a2. Guess I might have been lucky..

Dead space works fine on my stock tp running cm9 nightly 3/3 or 3/4

I finally got Dead Space working on mine. No matter what build.prop I would change it to, it would not download the game data. So I downloaded the data with my evo3d and then transferred it over. Working perfectly now.

[Q] Noticeable lag when playing games

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.

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!

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.
Milestone 1 only has 226MB of RAM available.
