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.

What can I do now?
Edit: BTW mate you made a good guide, it's not your mistake I don't need it. Anyway, I'll give you a thanks ;D

try write 'bla.. bla.. (game name) + hvga + apk'..
hvga will work in our device 320*480..
many of HD game have more than 320*480 resolution.. that's why can't play normally in our device..
cheers..

Lag on a very light app

I use the ea fifa companion app and it lags really badly on my phone when I click the menu, is it the phone that is the problem or is it the app. Can anyone confirm it. Thanks in advance.

Might be the CPU underclocking, not giving enough power. Try setting cpu frequencies to minimum over 1ghz and see if it makes a difference! if not, poor coding and optimization.

I tried making the CPU work constantly at 1.5 Ghz but that didn't help. Is it just my phone or is it all Xperia z phones

it s almost about bugs in app. (not enough compatible with xperia z, maybe!)
and now i see the link u sent that it s not compatible at all !!!!
and for this kindda lag u should also check what s happening in background
check background process with ** stock apps manager of Xperia ** and sometimes try to release manually RAM and clear cache.
(it s not about Xperia phones, that because of android and google should work on RAM and Cache management more on android, cause it happens on all smartphones)
:good:

Yes i use this app too, it does lag a lot on Z but its nothing to do with the phone this app is very poorly optimized it also lags in Samsung Note, SE Mini pro and S3 . (these are the phones i've used the app with)

Interesting because the app tells me that is compatible with all my devices.
Just downloaded however you need an account, so can't test it further. But as stated by someone else, is that it runs slow on a number of their devices. So would appear to be a badly written software that has not progressed and been optimised as the android operating systems have. From what I gather it would seem that the software does not support multi core devices

[Q] Is there any solution for the lag in 4.1 ?

hello...
I really like the LG 4X
but I've heared that the latest android version 4.1 is really laggy and has many issues
I want to buy this phone but I am hesitated for this reason
Can anyone give me a hint
thank you.:highfive:

are you in the US? there are phones like LG E975 for 375usd at amazon and it outperform GS3

Laggy how ? In games ? Menu ? Apps ? Maybe is some games after playing them for a while since it starting to heat up and LG lowered CPU temp and then phone will start laggin during game.I never expiriance any lagg in Stock LG rom while using it for non gaming.

I've been reading user opinions in GSMarena.com
and all the people over there are complaining of laggy interface, system, app lunch and many apps causing FC
and they also say the battery is draining like crazy !!

Never had random restart or FC more than once every couple of days and only in some messed up apps like Facebook.What's app,chrome,opera,viber,Skype,xda app,instagram never had fc. Battery life isn't great.I can't tell you if you should or shouldn't buy this device I did and I am happy but again we are different persons.

Well, I installed vanir rom recently and I am very happy with everything. If custom roms are taboo for you, dont get this phone, it will be a dissapointment, especially because of battery life.
Big drains in battery life are LG MLT?(IDK how its called),Logging service, Google Transport Services. If you dont root, you will get horible battery life.
You need at least root to disable this things.

Personally i had no lags on any of the stock roms but i switched to custom roms because of the horrible statusbar color. I'm currently using Cyanogenmod 10.2 nightly and i have no lags.
I'm sure there are fast, stock based roms out there if you for some reason do experience lag on the stock rom.

[Q] How is CyanogenMod 11.0 Gaming (and overall) Performance ?

Hey everybody, so I've been tempted for a long time to start using CM (although I can't imagine living without TouchWiz) so I wanna ask those of you who have been using CM for some time and have all kinds of stuff like heavy games, every-day apps and stuff like that to say how they run. Last month I updated to the latest ANA2 firmware, but it still lags So can anyone tell me how the following games run on CyanogenMod 11.0 :
GTA 3
GTA Vice City
GTA San Andreas
Fast & Furious 6
Eternity Warriors
If those games don't lag anymore, I'm definitely moving away from TouchWiz, at least until I buy a flagship, which can handle it LOL

I've been using CM11 for more than 2 months and I play games all the time, here's the games I currently have installed:
FIFA 14 - Perfect
GT Racing 2 - Perfect with graphics on high
Real Racing 3 - Perfect with normal graphics, SLIGHTLY laggy with RR3 Graphics app set on Very High.
GTA: SA - Very Very Good
I can tell you that my performance is way better than what it was on stock 4.1.2.

thanks. guess i'll give it a go then two more questions - do i need to wipe data and cache before flashing CM or just after the flash is complete? and can i flash it using CWM 6.0.2.7 (i don't get why McClaw says everywhere "flash with TWRP")?

I do it before but I think it works either way, remember to wipe dalvik cache as well you can find it in "advanced", and yes, I use cwm 6.0.2.7 without any problems

Touchwiz is in the past buddy. Use Google Now Launcher! Here's a play store link for KitKat https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher and then remove velvet.apk from /system/priv-app for Google Now Hotword - courtesy of @eswarvf so.... Thank him[emoji6]

Hope goes out last
OK, thanks to all of you for your replies and help. I'll still give Samsung a last chance and if official KitKat doesn't come out 'till the start of the summer, I'm definitely moving to CM for the future. Thanks again
