I'm pretty sure you can use Chainfire 3D, but why would you? Our phone can run any game there is on the market anyway? :silly:

Haha yes I do know we can play every market game there is
Ive tried Chainfire 3D but it resulted in a bootloop as expected because it diesnt support JB
Im trying to find an alternative that works on the xsp because I want to use Tegra and powervr files for the gamss. Dont ask me why I just like to screw around with games and roms and apps

ChainFire 3D is for Gingerbread only
So I doubt it will work on Jelly Bean

HD Games work on my x8..
try using custom ROM & kernel..
If doesn't work, You must looking for apk that port to x8 (HVGA game)..
google is our friends..
look man first i would resume that you dont know nothing about roms.
some games need more than android 2.1 (but the games you puschased i think is ok) so there are some updates ,that are not by sony ericsson ,and they are called roms, check this and this
usually the roms have better performance and thats because a gamer should use them
the second part is that you should increase your phones performance : with task killer you can free up some ram and with overclock you can increase cpu frequency
there and some other tips. you may check this out(those i have mention above included)
here is a video on how to increase performance in general for android:
also i would suggest you not to purchase games before you make sure that they run on your device(you can search on google or in youtube if anyone with the same device play them)
ps: sorry if you know most of them! i tried to write sth which someone with the same problem and without the knowledge would understand. i hope you found it helpfull!
As i know , there is no way to play 9mm on our devices.

[urgent] ROM NEEDED FOR RUNNING GAMES SMOOTHLY

I want a rom for s5830i which runs games smoothly without using chainfire 3d ...is there any available??

How is this urgent? Oh, right.. it's not.
Anyway, even if broadcom releases the sources, don't expect much. The latest games still won't run or be very choppy, no matter how many hacks and tweaks are used.
If you want games, you shouldn't have bought an outdated device.

Get a new device with better hardware. What I said still applies, just replace "latest" by "demanding". 3D is demanding, especially on lower end phones.
Y?? Do u have any personal grudge with chainfire??

maaaaaaaaaan, that app seems to have flawlessly resolved the lag issue on my phone! like, AMAZING!! I`m testing some games and if it really works I`m going to open a thread to spread the word!
What I did was: set governor to performance (any app like SetCPU), set the highest temperature inside Thermal Guard to maximum (85 and 85) and enable all cores.

RR3 smooth only on medium, but I`m happy now as heavy games like this you can change graphics and other games like Shadowgun THD, subway surf and jetbpack joyride that used to lab are perfect now.

How emulators run on this device?

Hello, i dont have this phone yet but i have it on my list.
My question its how emulators run on this phone? I know tegra3 will have problems
with some apps on EA and gameloft but how it runs on emulators?
I dont mean snes,nes,sega...i mean on the heavy ones
Like n64oid, FPSE with opengl, PPSSPP, mame4droid reloaded or any experimental
emulator like Nintendo DS, Dreamcast, etc.
But mostly on n64 and FPSE with opengl its my question.
Because i want a new cellphone for emulators and youtube...and my current options
are this or motorola razr i
Thanks by the way, and sorry for my bad english.
I'm using PPSSPP a great and promising emulator of PSP and Dragonball Z Shin Budokai or Pes 2012 are lagfree however you have to change the settings to play with no lags.
I also tried Dsoid, a Nds emulator, which runs perfectly with all games I tried

I tried PPSSPP after I saw your post to play my favourite game Loco Roco. It runs smooth but with distorted graphics. Can you recommend any settings to play it with proper graphics?
Sent from my LG-P880
Under settings go to the graphics settings and desactivate the buffered rendering this will improve a lot your graphics also active the stream VBO
I also choose the big buttons cause the buttons are too small for me
That's all I think I do

or do i need to change some seetings?

You can activate the buffered rendering, that will decrease your graphics but will improve the performance. You can also play with the settings of the app to see which configuration fits you perfectly.
You can change your governor to "performance" too.
I do not know this game but he may be a little bit to recent to work smoothly on our phone.
For example, I can play Pes 2013 but it is a bit laggy and i have to change de settings

PPSSPP is only in beta so lags can caused by the program, and its not all compatible with every PSP games. I dont tried all emulators but i think all casual game emulators are lag free.

If you want to reduce the heat, you can undervolt try different combination of scheduler and governor, that may solve your problem.
However, I have to admit that my phone heats up a lot when I play heavy games and charging (with fast charge) at the same time.

Nah.. No matter what tweaks we will do, there will still be heat on our device. I'm convinced that the 40nm on Tegra 3 is to blame.. Though I haven't tried playing on device with 28nm process though...
