Best working games for Samsung SGH I780 and games support

Okay, I will start by saying that this machine has been great. But samsung just didnt want to put everything in one phone! not yet anyway...( bad for their long term economics ) . Ok so general complaints are that this phone is 320x320 and does not have 3g for 850 (US). the mouse thingy can be set-up as a slide bar instead of a mouse so it's quite okay.
The 320 x 320 screen causes plenty of incompatabilities with programs, specially games because most games are simply unplayable if they dont function correctly with taps of touchscreen etc. Since we wont have our own section here in XDA, let's pool our thoughts here.
Lets keep this organized and you guys can go as detailed as you guys want. Genre etc. fix or games that do not work. Also put if you're using realvga as some games that work normally do not anymore under realvga.
I will start.
I have 2 games that are my favorite.
More games Orions
More games Azgard Defence
Warfare Inc. (works well)
More games Enslave (installs perfect but this game is just alright.)
I did not want to throw my games away so i tried to find ways. Also this thread would help those who have not bought the games
W/o realvga these games are simply retarded. wont even fit the screen.
Used realvga 96dpi
To get these games to work,
After installation with realvga these games work. The problem is stylus is off and u cant even enter the serial key.
It appears to the side and the location of the taps is the same except it's about an inch down.
1. Enter the serial by guesstimating the height differnce.... you'll get this with patience.
2. Once you have entered the serial, go to options and click reverse screen.
3. SAVE, Quit and reload, now you have a working orions and azgard defense game with proper taps, etc.
So guys any good games out there you can suggest and working and not working fixes. and list the ones that just plain dont work so it saves people time and money.
SPhynx

Games 99% compatible
ScummVM with what games it supports, works 99% perfect.
You just need to rotate screen 2 times to display "portrait" and everything is perfect .
(After first rotation, there is an issue with tapping, you must click under rotation icon rotate screen again to get portrait mode)
After that all the games works fine.
This makes the list of the games that work with the device way longer....

UNO installs and plays well
Kaboom cannot make it
Bejeweled can load but 2 side have black space .. making the game small
Big2 cannot play on i780 ..
what else ?

Games that work perfectly:
Atomic Cannon
Asphalt 4 Elite Racing (AWSOME GAME)
Dark Street
Holy Beast
Amiga Invastion
Mini Golf 2
EA Monopoly (Here and Now)
Pocket Uno
Resco Brain Games

is this games for free? where can i download it?
thanks

Any good FPS or 3d games that work well without MT??or allow hard keys

Any good First person shooters that work well on the x10? all ive tried are really no good without MT and never see any options to use other keys to fire like camera key? or any of the good 3d games tbh

Did you try ToonWarz

dungeon hunter is quite nice and it works without multitouch ... but as far as ego shooter goes we have to hope that se is talking bull**** and mt is possible - or we have to use some wii remote XD

i find it a bit useless playing these games without the option to fire/fight and move at the same time! cant see any options to map the harware buttons so you only need the screen to move

[Q]how to rotate sgs2 screen landscape(permantly)for all apps/games away from hot cpu

I would like to know if there is an app or maybe dev can make a rom that will allow sgs2 (android) phone user to able to rotate left to landscape away from holding the back where the cpu is when it gets extremely hot when u browser the internet using dolphine hd or playing hd games for 30mins+ ..if u got a sgs2 phone u know what i mean.
example, when u playing samuria II vengence (using chainfire3d - nvida or powervr mode works 100%) holding the phone landscape sgs2 default landscape (rotate right mode) where ur left-hand is placed near the cpu/camera it will start to get really hot after 20mins+ play, but if u rotate/flip the phone around (only this game allow to orientated perfectly) ur hands r placed perfectly away from the cpu/camera which allow u to play long period without heat issue n the heat/cpu/camera r not covered by ur hands allowing the cpu to heat/cool in free air.
I have search all over the internet n has not come to any apps that will allow permantly rotate to that landscape view..the closest apps was control rotate but its only for text/browser net, but won't allow permantly for games.
anyone can help pls pm me or reply are welcome or ppl have similair problem or been searching every for an answer also welcome to add coments. i'm sure alot of sgs2 phone user know what im talking about. samsung has not thought about this before they make this phone about cpu heat issue, but can be easily fix with an opposite/flip landscape rotation left mode default lock. nokia n95 8gb allow all games to freely rotate which ever way the user wishes to..if only someone can fix this problem with the sgs2.
list of sgs2 games that will not rotate left/flip the default landscape view over even with auto rotation on (away from cpu when u are playing for 20-30min) [hand not over cpu/camera] are:
backstab (chainfire3d - qualcom mode works 100%)
spiderman hd
golf hd
golf 2 hd
hawx hd
splinter cell hd
modern combat hd
guerrillabob
avatar hd
real football 2011 hd
dungeon hunter 1 and 2 hd
assassin creed hd
hero of sparta hd
asphalt 6 hd
gt racing hd
gangstar hd
fishing kings hd
need for speed shift (chainfire3d - powervr mode works 100%)
....and many others
I have used all roms to test this problem but they do not rotate to that mode away from cpu or or fix the heat problem after 15min-30mins+ game play. i'm using latest litening' rom v1.5 thx to litepro, could someone please post this on his forum since i don't have enough post due to new member requirement. This way he could come up with a solution to his next rom version and i think it's a great idea, i'm sure all sgs2 phone owner would like this heat issue to go away or away from their hands/fingers when surfing net with dolphine hd or all those games i mentioned above with such an easy fix screen rotate left/flip lock opposite to cpu/camera when u use it for more than 15-20mins+.
thanks.

From the limited android dev experience I have, I don't think it's possible since the orientation is hardcoded into the app itself. A custom rom might be able to do it, but that would take quite some hacking.

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit in the Market working nicely for TF101

Unsure if this was posted previously; a little steep at $6.99 but runs smoothly on the Transformer:
Pros: good in-game graphics (the movies, are a tad grainy and meh)
Cons: price, and no "lights out" mode during gameplay that you night expect. Audio quality with headphones are very engaging, and while I'm not a gamer or maybe I need to adjust the accelerometer sensitivity for steering purposes; YMMV.

you didn't have problem with the control sensor of the game ?
mine is working but the control is in portrait mode instead of the game ( play in landscape mode)
and there is no method to change the control...
it seems to be a general bug for the game on tablet

EA updated it with full tablet support on November 11th. Should have fixed the steering problem for you. It did for me and everyone else I know of.

I may have discovered the game only after this was addressed, I suppose. I played the game completely in Landscape after downloading. and I didn't perhaps mess with the controls as I was just learning to control the game itself.
Glad to hear this was addressed.

Ics acceletormeter problem with games

Hi, my name is Norbert, and I have a problem with my tab after I updated it to ics via Odin everything went perfect its super fast more free ram and all the cool stuff is working
But I have a problem with the acceleratormeter and the gyro when I play games like modern combat 3 or gt racing the games recognize the the sensors as if it they were in a vertical position but the games run in landscape view I have the same problems in all the landscape games I have installed nova 3,modern combat 3,gt racing, modern combat 2 and asphalt 7 help please I only have the tablet for gaming and I'm a gyro addict and by the fact that I can't use my tab as a steering wheel sucks =(, and sorry for my bad English I could have some mistakes
Btw it works well in the launcher and the calibrator that's under the screen settings. The problem is persistent Only in games, and if someone updated their tab and doesn't have this issue please let me know I haven't tried to re flash the firmware.
EDIT: I've tried highway rider its a game that executes in landscape view its simple its a motorcycle game but the acceleratormeter works fine there but still problems persist in the higher end games mentioned before =(
