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,
Today i tried to install gameloft's real footbal 2010, and its working, but its too lagy i mean its running but with 8-12 frames per second.
30.10.2010. Tried NFS Shift, and its working, but without the g sensor it is not playable.

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...

[Q] Dungeon Defenders performance

Dear Developers,
I am not much into mobile gaming, but I wanted to play a bit with Dungeon Defenders. I've installed the game, downloaded the content form the developers site, installed the game on the internal SD.
Unfortunately, the performance of the game is much lower than I expected on a TEGRA dual core device. The FPS is low, down to unplayable with multiple units at the dungeon.
Is there any solution for that? I have stock ROM, stock applications plus a few utilities (JuceDefender etc.) installed plus maybe 6 widgets.
Changing ROM is not an option for me as it voids warranty with my damn Polish LG branch :/
Help is very appreciated

Check if there are multiple other games running in the background like the pre instaled Shrek Karting and Spiderman games.
Kill the tasks or reboot and try again. I never played Dungeon Defenders much, but for the time I played it on the stock ROM it was absolutely smooth.

End all tasks using your task manager and then launch the game again, if for some reason the performance doesnt improve much then lower the video enhancement in the settings and that should make it run very smothly.
Overclocking to play this game helps alot too but it causes it to get hot like above 43c which isnt good.

Yes, the performance of this particular game on the O2X is embarrassing when you get to bigger maps such as the Ramparts. If you aren't playing it online, turning on flight mode will help a bit.

[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?

[UPDATE] Remix OS Player build #B2016091403

Hey guys,
From all the early feedback we've gotten from you about Remix OS Player, we've been able to fix two of the most reported bugs and have a new build for you to download. Here's what we've fixed:
Fixed most of the stuck at loading ("Patience is bitter. But its fruit is sweet.") issues
Fixed Play Store not being able to install apps
You'll know you have the latest one by the file name "Remix OS Player package - B2016091403".
IMPORTANT: Remix OS Player first boot will take several minutes. Subsequent boots will be much faster.

Is it possible to implement some kind of fake wifi connection so that apps that only work with wifi (Asphalt 8, Modern Combat 5) can be used?

The Play Store now updates the pre-installed apps and enables new ones to be installed, but:
1. The apps are updated and installed very slowly. It seems like the player file system is running slowly or there is some other bottleneck.
2. The player seems a lot more sluggish too. Not as responsive.
3. While updating the apps in the Play Store, when one finishes the player goes back to the home screen and minimizes the Play Store app. If you maximize the Play Store app, it continues, but the same thing happens after the next app finishes updating.
4. The install of the Player also seemed to take a lot more time than the previous version.
Hope this helps.
UPDATE:
5. The player just hung on me while in Chrome at the Jide home page. Cursor is unresponsive and the OFF switch on the external control panel does not do anything.
UPDATE 2:
6. I killed the player and rebooted my host system. The player seems much faster now. The problem might have been a resource issue on the host. Hard to say for sure.
UPDATE 3:
7. Just installed the player on another host. Same behavior, so I doubt it was a host issue.

I don't know what is your harware but i don't have any problem with 2 years Asus laptop tp500

yea the video playback and chrome access are a lots slower than previous version...
it seems something is very wrong with the hard drive access.
the lack of open GL ES 3 support and the lack of full screen or game controller support or large HDD image or fake wifi is very worrying for a GAMING centred emulator you are claiming everywhere...
