[Q] Is it compatible? Please help - Android Apps and Games

Hello every1.
I want to buy a Samsung Galaxy 5 because I can't afford a much better device so I have a few question regarding to games.
How can I find out if a game is compatible with my device?(not talking about android version,I will upgrade it to 2.2 anyway) I mean the specs.
For ex how do I know if Asphalt 5 or NOVA will work or not on my device?
Code:
gameloft.com/android-games/asphalt-5/
gameloft.com/android-games/nova/
Or maybe a game with lower graphics like PocketLegends.
I know that these games are for high-end multi-touch devices but I heard some of these can run on Galaxy 5. I know it's hard to play multitouch games on nonmultitouch screens but it is possible in a weird way(move with left stick,then aim,then fire;can't do the multiple things in the same time,so this is how I would play FPS on galaxy 5: walk,aim,fire).
Anyway I just want to find out if there is any compatibility site or app that I can check out?
If not,can please some1 write me a list of cool games,which would work on Samsung Galaxy 5? I would really apreciate that,since my first smartphone was a Nokia 6600 from 2004 with SymbianOS 7. I never had any experience with new smartphones since then. That game list would help me a LOT in buying the device.
PS.: Can't afford more expensive devices for better games.

Bump... Please help

I don't like to bump topics or make double or even triple posting,but this is insane that NO1 responds to my topic,not even like this: "We don't know"
Can please at last some1 help me with this?

Pls enlighten this Android newbie

Hi all,
Am a newbie to Android tablets/devices both in terms of hardware and software. So if my post is posted in the wrong thread or reposted pls pardon me. I just want to understand a few basics.
As you all may know, now the market is being flooded by those Chinese made Android tablets. And many of them looks good (at least on paper) and at a very good price. But the problem is most of the time when come to chinese goods, they don't usually do what they claims (if you know what i mean). and the best part most of the salesperson don't know anything about the products they are selling especially when comes to tech gadgets like the Android tablets.
So here i am seeking help from you gurus and hoping i can start my Android journey on the right step. Below are a few questions. Hope I can get answers (links to somewhere where i can read up or anything).
1. What are the conditions (CPU make, firmware, etc) to fulfill if i wan to upgrade/root/hack the original Android OS? Cos most of the chinese made tablets are running on Android 1.5. Hoping to be able to upgrade the OS whenever a newer one comes out. Like the latest 2.1 And be able to download new apps from the apps market.
2. Which CPU chip is better and what are the common CPU chips in the market now? I know there are the Rockchips, VIA, Telechips.
3. Can we tell what are the hardware (CPU make etc) and software (OS/firmware version, etc) that are being used in the device from the system setting or something?
4. I read somewhere that not all CPU chips can be upgraded to the latest OS. i.e. that any upgrade is determined by the CPU chip. Is it true?
5. As for custom ROM, is it also device dependable? Like is there a generic ROM for all devices?
For now these are the questions which are bugging me. Hope the gurus here can enlighten this Android newbie.
Sorry for the long winded post and thanks for any help.
Hmmm. Just check that it is upgradable to froyo and it has more than 500mhz cpu

if you are looking for a tablet just get an ipad. the android tablets i see floating around are just 1.5 or 1.6. even if you get a tablet that can do 2.2 (froyo)... i dont see how that can be any better than an ipad.
i just feel that 2.2 isnt meant to be in tablet form. if you can wait... wait for 3.0 before you decide. the main deterrent here is the maximum resolution for android (854 x 480 or something), and that the apps were made with phones in mind.
im very happy with my nexus one... i just cant imagine having a tablet running android as of the moment unless its very very cheap ($200 or so).
i for one will get an ipad next month. my nexus one with wifi tether + the basic wifi ipad will be gadget heaven. looking to get an ipad primarily for reading magazines (zinio) and comic books. android does not have zinio yet. the android comic viewer (ACV) i use on my nexus is ok... but not great. then theres the games. games on android are still so so with less variety and choices.
as a phone the android is great! better than the iphone (yes im an apple user through and through) even. but as a tablet... not quite yet.
Hp is going to release a tablet so is samsung with 2.2

Hopefully start seeing some of these 2.2 tablets in the 3rd Quarter...

[Q] How can i play Super Street Fighter 4 (IV) on my galaxy ?

Hi guys, i like the street fighter IV game , i was wondering if someone could tell me how can i play it on my samsung galaxy S
as far as i have read , i need an emulator and a rom
suggestions ?
btw i tried googling super street fighter iv ROM , it showed a few sites but none of them supports my country
any sort of help would be nice , thanks every one
i love noob guids
Are you referring to the NES version of street fighter 4?
i don't know what's NES but i just want to play the game the one that looks like the i phon's , or the Xbox
Ah. NES is Nintendo Entertainment System. The first nintendo. As far as I can tell there isn't a port, official or unofficial, out for any android phone. Although it looks like the galaxy s should be able to handle it if they do. Check out askcapcom.com, just google street fighter 4 android port. Should be the first link in the list.
It just seems like having an iphone, xbox, or ps3 emulator on your phone wouldn't work out well for speed and stability. I mean, the xbox and ps3 are a lot more powerful than any phone. I could see the iphone since the galaxy is supposedly more powerful hardware wise.
Good luck man. If you find it somewhere come back and let us know!
Here mate heres the link. i works great for me on gingerbread, but won't work on ICS, go to this site app-mobile
cant post the link sorry. Man there too many ****ty rules here GOD!!!

I've reached out to two mods already....come on mods.... cut us some slack here.
See my forum for the TeamLeader 1.2 rom, its just a bit custom from the stock rom but pretty stable.
://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22093503 << add http infront enjoy
I think we need a forum for this wonderful phone even if the number of users still aren't a lot!
This phone is really wonderful
Vote for the idea!
Come on....
i just dont understand why we still dont have a forum for the most powerful phone on market today, already months waiting for it there is some customized rom out there, and in XDA nothing. we need a forum for our "beast" here to speed-up things.
hope administrator can give us some space here...
we need our forum here 4.65-inch display with 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 1 GB of RAM, 8-megapixel rear camera with 1080p HD recording.
I'd like to add my voice to this request.
I've just received this great little phone, fired it up and it's amazing...
sticking with mostly stock things for now (other than my usual apps) and since it's mostly in Korean.. I'd LOVE some roms for it... ICS would be lovely

I'm using this phone, too. The phone is really great.
It's very difficult too find roms and howtos about this phone.
I hope there will be a forum for this phone.

im i agree with you peaple^^ i just bought this phone yesterday~ and is amazing!!! but i really want to try others custom rooms~
I agree. I bought the non HD version but it is just a sweet (model SHV-E110S) and I woudl love some customization. Hell Id even pay for some. I am by no means a phone expert but I am running gingerbread FB13 on it and if someone needs a copy of it and can point me in the direction of how to pull from phone or where Kies stored it on my computer id happily send it.

P.S how about an Icon for beer....way off subject I know
Yes, we really need a forum for that kind of phone !
Hey guys, as the proud owner of a SG s2HD LTE. I would like to let you other guys know you can run most of the app's that the android market says are "incompatible". The way to do this is to install Snappz Market, find games like Order and Chaos HD and install (all free on this market), Order and Chaos HD runs very well, the phone does an incredible job running all games!
we really need a forum special for our S II HD LTE

+1 Vote!! Really appreciate if the Mods can release us spare space...

+1 vote... hope modders out there will spare some of there time to discover the potential of this very interesting phone. Much better than the SGS II i9100.

[Completed] Need Professional Help/Advice Buying An Android Device

Hi XDA Members,
I am getting desperate! I have lost all faith in myself to choose a good Android device.
Although poor, I have managed to purchase many Android devices to try and suit my needs.
For example:
I got a Galaxy S3, only to find the signal and battery were crap, and I couldn't use the Tincore or sixaxis app to use any controller to play any games properly.
I bought a Doogee Valencia Y100 Pro thinking it was a great deal, only to later learn that it couldn't be rooted, and the unofficial remote play app for the PS4 lagged far worse than the Galaxy S3.
I bought an unbranded Quad Core, 1.5GB Ram tablet, and guess what, it performed FAR worse than my Sony Xperia E1 ever did, and the E1 is crap!
These are just a few of the examples. As you saw, all of these are budget devices.
Guys, I give up, I take off my cap, I'm not even going to try anymore. I am so disappointed with all this and myself, that I will never, again in life, brag, about, my technical knowledge. Ever.
I need your help. Can you please tell me what are the best budget to high price android devices I should get, it can be anything, a tablet, smartphone, smart console, that can also do the following:
Use Tincore Keymapper or the PS sixaxis app well.
Be able to properly use either a PS3/4 or android bluetooth controller.
Root.
Have atleast a 64GB capable micro sd card slot.
4G signal would be nice, but NOT necessary. Phone calls are not even necessary.
Remote play with PS4 either officially, or smoothly through the unofficial apk.
Run PPSSPP, N.O.V.A 3, Modern Combat 5, and Dead Trigger 2 well.
Have USB OTG.
Not necessary, but HDMI or MHL would be nice.
And have atleast 8GB of internal storage (more is preferable).
Please list the devices you think would best fit this fussy description. Also, please list expensive devices if you think they're the best, but I'm not rich, so cheaper ones would be good too.
Also, would a JXD S7800B or GPD Q9, or Archos Gamepad 2 be any good, or are they crap too?
Lastlty, I would be extremely glad if someone had such a device that did all this, and could personaly testify. Opinions woulf be greatly appreciated too, but, I'm just saying.
I shall eagerly wait your replies, and as I'm sure you pros will help me out, thanks in advance.
