They can all play HD. You just need to install chainfire3d driver and you'll be good to go.

thanks for the answere, ill try to install chainfire first.

Using CM9 4.0.3 v2.1 with Air kernal 2.9 (200-1100, lulzactive(stock setting)/sio).
No FC when playing HD games, some games even dont need Chainfire 3D to run.
But it drains my battery
Anyway..there is no error of HD games with CM9
Try it and hope it works on you!

Um... a low available RAM is it's reason, isn't it?
I use a Ram manager PRO, setting ram manager pro Hard gaming, I play HD games and there isn't FC
and my phone's is CyberGR 7 + Air 3.0!

Make sure to install the driver after you install the chainfire app. Once phone reboots you should be good.

I already try all this methods, try to use chainfire and driver install on it, slim ICS, Trinity kernel, overclocked, ram optimation, all are still have same problems. But the longest time I can play its while I'm try to stop common application that running in background, so I think its a RAM problems.

I will test. thanks

These games are not in HD gameloft calls all their nexus game HD...480x800 is not HD resolution
You don't need chainfire unless your using adreno or tegra version of the game and u already stated u can play for up to 5 mins
And u don't need a particular rom or kernel
If was a ram issue you would see performance degrade over the course of gameplay(lower fps stuttering...ect) before is actually crashes
Could be corrupt data.
delete all the content in gameloft folder for game on SD card
Start up the game and re download game data.
pirated version it could be old version not optimised for ics
Or could be trying to do a licence check and when it can't verify it boots u from game
Edit
splinter cell isn't even listed on game loft website for nexus s.

[Q] Dungeon Defenders lag

anybody able to play Dungeon Defenders flawlessly?
i like the game but it gets really laggy on my nexus s when theres enemies on the map. im thinking that this game requires a lot of ram which the nexus s does not have a lot. before i start the game i check my available ram. it varies from 120-150 each time i check. i have CM7 RC1 loaded on my phone with netacrhy 1.2.4 cfs.
anybody have the same problems?
Have you tried using a bfs kernel? I remember on the HTC desire, cfs always lagged more than bfs kernels, not 100% sure but just a thought.

or even overclock. use SetCPU to overclock since you're already using 1.2.4

thanks for the quick reply guys!
i tried over clocking my phone but its still laggy. im gonna try bfs now see if that fixes the lag problems.
well, bfs didnt work as expected. its just about the same as the cfs. still experiencing lag. did you guys have the same problems?
I am able to play dungeon defenders flawlessly. I'm using cm7 and 1.2.2 bfs netarchy kernel without overclocking. I have yet to experience any lag and play frequently.

i know some are going to flame me but...
do you use any task killers? i do, and it helps to keep my phone running smoothly. i rather decide when ram memory needs to be freed rather then let android decide. before playing dungeon defenders, i usually kill all the background apps first.
weird, no Task killers here and dungeon defenders runs flawless

Damn. I have a task killer but I still lag. Maybe I just have to do a wipe. See if that helps.

update: i restored my phone to factory default. 2.3.2 and dungeon defender plays better now. ill try to see what the cause of the lag was when i was on cm7-netarchy124cfs
I'm was using nightlies but just today I switched to rc1 and it works great just like before.

runing legles here.though it was after reboot and only 94MB in usage.
make sure you have enough MB's free.
and dont use task killer!!
gingerbread already has one build-in.well..sorta
reflashing made everything smoother.
RAM doesn't mean everything.
Its like, so many people think that having 24 GB of ram in your computer is the s***. The desire hd has 768 mb of ram, but that doesn't make it faster

Android HD Revolution ROM

Hey guys,
Since I can't post in the developmental section I have to make a separate thread here.
Anyway I just started to use this rom 3.5.6. and noticed that some of my games are laggy!!
I also notice that there is only 150 mb free memory left on a fresh boot. Is there anyway to make available more ram??
Move apps to your SD card.

It's not a internal memory which he is talking about...his problem is low ram..
Mate grab App named Android Assistant from market and see which how many apps are running at startup...you can also disable items you don't want running automatically on boot..
It's not Ram, if the app needed more memory, it would kil apps that it thinks you aren't using. Which kernel are you using? Stock kernel kills 3D games, try the Bricked kernel.
I'm using faux kernal, but i think it was a problem with doodle jump, where it didnt feel as smooth. I tried other games like modern combat, and its smooth as butter!!!
I've tested this ROM today, too. But in my opinion this ROM isn't as smooth as the others. Or even the other HD ROMs before. Sliding between the homescreens was laggy.
Maybe it's the same issue why you have performance problems within games. But take a look at the kernel section within the HD thread.
The advice seems to be not to worry about free RAM—the more your phone is using, the better it will run. Free RAM isn't helping you.

Grand Theft Auto III now available in Android Market (may support our device).

As announced earlier,Rockstar Games has released GTA III in the Android Market today. Available now for $4.99, it works on select Android devices, mainly those running on NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, although company is promising a TI OMAP supported version soon, which will work on devices like Galaxy Nexus.
Games Features via Market Description:
Visually stunning updated graphics, character and vehicle models
HD quality resolution
Gameplay optimized for touch screen devices
Custom controls for the mobile platform
Countless hours of gameplay
Gamepad Support for select USB controllers
since,gt-i9003 uses T1 OMAP chipset,so i believe it will work on our device.
Tried to install the apk today, and got "There is a problem parsing the package." message.
not sure if its because of the chip or because i'm still running stock froyo that came with the phone "FROYO.JPKC2" (2.2.1) (arabic version).
If there is anyone who tried the game with gingerbread or a custom rom, please share if its working, and if it requires chainfire, etc,
thanks guys

does droid 3 use the nvidia chip? if not, you and the others that are testing the version of the game intended for nvidia are seeing that you should wait for the omap version, as OP stated
New version (1.1) supports PowerVR and works in our device (no FC after intro), but the game is slow, especially when you're driving a car. I have tried reducing textures and quality on chainfire, but doesn't improve too much.
I am on KPQ and CF-root without OC, you can try with UC OC, and will post here the results.
Holy cow!,this game runs awesome on uc v6 and xkpq, just tested it,guess what it runs faster than my brother's i9000

i playing like xplay enjoy guys
My download stopped about halfway through, and when i opened it again, surprise surprise, it worked!! with no sound tho :S
the graphix are pretty smooth and the controls are very responsive, however the FPS drops a little with sharp turns or quick view changes, still quite playable.
I'm on stock froyo without chainfire 3D or any custom kernals.
Update: The download was corrupted as the memory card became full and save games are corrupted. Perhaps the sound files were never downloaded in the first place.
Without audio it works like a charm..

Nova 3

Yeah but in less then a year major gaming titles have appeared and they keep getting more complex and higher graphics...
Nova 3 beat my record of resource data to download... 1.75 gb of space needed...
If that trend continues the number will slowly rise to about 3 or 4 gb like console games...
In which case dual core 512 MB ram phones will quickly hit the weak list...
Just think of the best one out there right now...
Sgs3 : quad core 2gb ram!!!
That is wired I don't have that problem and I'm running stock 1Ghz

There is a lot of discussing going on HTC One X forums about this game.
Tricks to make it go smooth on the Tegra 3, tricks to play on full graphics.
There I read that if you have Chainfire installed (which probably trekfan have) the game will run on full graphics and it will lag even on 1.3 GHz because the device can't handle those graphics.
Without Chainfire game runs on 1GHz without any problems.
I found out it was a bad rom. But now I have it at 1.0 ghz and even have it running from the next SD card and it runs great.

Water Bear. No OC. Laggy. It's strange because Rom seems to be really light and fast. Don't know why.

[Q] Real Racing 3 on Desire S?

Hi everyone. I'm a noob.
I was wondering if it was possible to make my HTC Desire S running PACman v20.0.1 ROM able to run Real Racing 3. It doesn't appear in the play store and online it says incompatible. Please reply
Thanks.
I would normally tell you to use market unlocker app, but it doesn't work anymore, so the only thing left would be warez try looking on the net for an apk... I'm playing rr3 on my DS overclocked to 1.7ghz but it's still leggy. Laggy but playable
Sent from my Desire S using xda premium
lower the oc to 1k-1.2k, high oc is known to cause lag in some games.

Real Racing 3 was available on 28th February. I downloaded it, installed, noticed that it was laggy on my ROM. I've changed the ROM and it wasn't available. Since then I've tried some other ROMs and also incompatible. Installed with the .apk file and I'm now playing it(although it's lagging, especially after hacking and buying all cars )
Reaper V4.0 is probably the most stable rom available. Gaming performance proves to be much better on this rom, so you might want to give it a try.

Maybe the game performance would be great on it, but it's on GB. I have flashed the Desire XS and the performance of Real Racing 3 is even better, than on CM and PACman with overclocked CPU. But thanks anyway for your advice!

Your call. Something to remember is that many things affect gaming performance including governors and I/O schedulers. Also, you might want to try using V6 Supercharger script (link is in my sig) and GameBooster 2
Haven't got a chance a chance to try GameBooster 2 yet but judging from the responses in the play store, it seems to work well.
