As of now, I'm using a Samsung Fascinate with the 1Ghz processor, and N64oid runs most games acceptably. But I want to squeeze out some more performance when I play the N64 emulator as long as I have this single core phone with 512mb of ram.
Now what confuses me is why the phone is not running this flawlessly because the N64 itself only had ~100Mhz CPU and at most 8mb of RAM. So why the phone doesn't run this completely without any effort is beyond me.
My question comes down to this; is there ANYTHING I can do to improve the way the phone handles N64oid to play games smoother?
Try rooting it and overclocking it. My n64 emulator ran fine on stock but I hate sense ui and rooted just to change and overclock and it runs near perfect now when I play super smash bros.

I've done both actually. Doesn't really help. I think it has to do with the emulator itself possibly. I hear SS Bros runs damn good already, better than most games. My main concerns are Starfox 64 and Harvest Moon 64 at the moment. Those 2 I play the most. Can you give me a link to the Super Smash Bros rom? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
I believe I got mine from romhustler, I don't remember. And I read somewhere in these forums that the dev pulled it from the market and is working on a better version due to complaints. But yea, google romhustler, if not that, try emuparadise, I always get roms from those sites.

SSB works. Just beat Single Player just now lol.
Still don't know how I can speed up the emulator though. Would be great if I could maybe overclock to 1.5Ghz but I feel that would still yield nothing.
Ha, sweet. Yea, my phone is at 1.5, used to have it at 1.8.

Is it just me, or is n64oid no longer available in the market?
It isn't, someone made a thread about it earlier. They dev took it off due to complaints, so he is/they are (?) working on it now.

Hi there,
I'm very new to Android and the rooting procedure. Basically, I switched from an iPhone to an HTC Inspire 4G after 4 years.
I'm going to try and root my phone tonight, and also unlock it and put HTC Sense 3.0 on it, but one thing I have been unable to find is a stable ROM for Android 2.3 that is as close to the stock version as possible. It may be right under my nose, but I haven't had any luck. If anyone could provide a download link, or a URL that points to where I could find one, that would be very much appreciated! Thanks!
Best one for HTC sense 3 is CoreDroid. My opinion.

It might be best for you to not jump right into rooting your phone. Spend some time seeing how your phone works out of the box and what you might want to change. During that time spend time on this forum just reading and gathering knowledge. The more you read, the more answers you will already have.
Just my suggestion.

I really like the new sense 3.0 functions that are ported on the coredroid 6.5. P.S. It might be better to root before you get all your apps setup and installed like I did. Then I had no way of backing up since I had no root access and had to setup everything from scratch again.
Thanks for all the help guys.
darkside, I've actually had to phone for about a month now. Funny you mention using it and seeing what I'd want to change, cause one of the first things I did after a week of usage was make a small list of just those things haha.
In addition to unlocking the Inspire, and putting Sense 3.0 and 2.3 on it, the only other thing I really want to do is get all of that annoying AT&T bloatware off. That, and find something that can fix the battery life. I have no idea how to do either, so I think I will take everyone's advice and do some more reading before attempting this.
I'm using MIUI and its doing excellent for me.

Excellent advice.
You really, really, really should have a baseline by which to judge subsequent roms you flash.
Otherwise, you'll never have a full sense of what's working better or worse than something else.

Are you using the MIUI Rom here in the US on AT&T....and do you have any problems with apps in the app market? I want to find a decent GB rom but it seems like most are geared more toward the UK.
For example I'm using ClearDroid, I do a search in the market for the "Xfinity TV" app. It shows right up...I jump on LeeDroids rom, and no "Xfinity TV" app to be found.....And thats with installing Morelocale2 before setting up my google account. Obvioiusly I could care less about the app....it just makes me wonder what other apps are hidden from my view.

Has anyone successfully installed Order & Chaos on the Infuse? Seeing as the Infuse is such a close cousin to the Galaxy S phones and most of those phones officially support O&C, it seems like it should work fine on the Infuse but I haven't seen any threads about it.

it appears to be one of those high quality game loft games. they code games for the hardware and they may check the build.prop for compatability, so even a compatible device might not play the game if they havent added the device to there supported list. if it is in the market it may work if it is gameloft website only you may need to register the phone number and claim what carrier you have, they haven't really been supporting att devices for some reason, i didnt have much success downloading there games by anyones instruction but others claim it works. good luck, let us know your results!
i hate that they have all the checks because anyone with root and chianfire 3d can run games for other chipsets just fine. why not detect the gpu and cpu and have one universal install that has coding for several different api's? would it make the game that much bigger?

Yeah, it basically is WoW for your phone. I've been playing it for a couple of months on an old iPhone 3GS, an HTC Inspire and on my ASUS Transformer. If an MMORPG is your cup of tea, I can't recommend Order and Chaos enough.
Anywho, Order & Chaos is not officially supported on the Transformer but I was able to get it to work by rooting it, downloading the game cache manually, and using Titanium Backup to install an "all devices" version of the game. I haven't rooted the Infuse yet and I was hoping there would be a way to install Order & Chaos without rooting but it sounds like rooting might be the only way.

If you're up to try it, follow the instructions here:

Download the cache file referenced there and unzip it to /gameloft/games . Then PM me your email address and I'll send you the download link to the Titanium Backup backup of the game (I would post it here but I think it's considered warez). Then you unpack the TiBu backup to /TitaniumBackup , open TiBu, and restore the game from there.
Edit: I should mention that I don't know of this will actually work on the Infuse but this is how it worked on the Transformer.

with branding and market keys you won't see every app. use http://market.android.com to see all the apps. apps will push to the phone, or you can get the site from the phone if you change the useragent in the browser.
It is incompatible with the Infuse. I was looking at it yesterday and the market through the browser said it was a no go. I was disappointed, honestly.

It's not officially supported, but it works just fine. I don't understand why Gameloft does this with some of their games - they make their games available only for specific devices - but Order & Chaos definitely works with the Infuse. Use the .apk that zeus408 provided (I think it was the 9th post in this thread).

Quick solution: Tell your buddy to get a phone that doesn't suck horse c#(k.
Do you guys experience quite a bit of lag on this phone? I suggested this phone to a friend of mine on T-mo who insisted on having a keyboard.
She complains that her phone lags quite a bit and when she was showing me it, it does have a lot of lag.
Going through different home pages, there's a noticeable twitch as the transition is not smooth.
Main complaint is when playing games like fruit ninja, you can't really go through a game with out it freezing for a second or two. Once it completely froze on her.
Any possible fix without Root, since I dont wanna go through all that haha
I know I read reviews on this phone being quite fast so I dont really know what the problem is.
She's better off rooting. You can get rid of all the bloatware that way.

In that case whats the most stable ROM here?? That will be the most important as I'm sure most custom ROM's will speed up her phone.
Ummm i would send it back and get another. I noticed no difference in my games when i debloated and i never have had issues like what your friend is having.
Ive have games since day one like: order and chaos, sentienl 3, need for speed shift, heavy gunner, sim city deluxe and many more
I GET ZERO LAG. The games i just listed have intense graphic rendering as well, much more than fruit ninja. I got this phone for the original purpose of gaming over the g2x. If my phone had an ounce of lag it would be replaced lol.
Could of got some bad chips.

+1, I had no problems playing Fruit Ninja and Veggie Samurai, among other games, pre-root. See if you can get a replacement.
Of course, rooting and installing a ROM would be a good alternative to try. I'm currently using Bulletproof and I think it's pretty snappy.
Good luck =D.
Another thing could be to check for background processes from additionally installed apps from the market, but i guess you already checked that. There are some badly written apps obviously.

My phone has been very stable, only lagging when I use transitions for the first time upon boot up. I'm very pleased with it, actually.
Dude, rooting is super easy. This may be the easiest phone I've ever had to root. There are several excellent guides here.
For stability, I highly recommend bulletproof 1.1. Undeads roms are excellent too, but imo generally are not as stable.

Well I may root it later but I told her to take it back.
I played fruit ninja on her phone for a bit to test it out. About 2 or 3 times the screen became unresponsive for a few seconds and then the swipes would lag the fruits would lag and be normal. Also a few times a menu thing popped up on fruit ninja asking me if i wanted to turn down the graphics of the game.
So there must be something wrong cause this is suppose to be a quite powerful phone from what I read and what you guys are telling me.
I have no problems with fruit ninja with my rom.
