Recent influx of 3d games

The last week there seems to be a huge influx of quality games some made for android some ported from the Iphone... Wich is awesome but unfortunently not so much for the nexus one.. Why is that?
Primarily the ones from gameloft...
Some titles such as Gangstar: west coast hustle and modern combat: sandstorm will install but wont finnish downloading data to sd card... then the one game I would buy a I phone to play Dungeon Hunter finally ported over and it force closes after install..
Im not even going into asphault 5 on the nexus..
Anyone have better luck then me? Do they work fine on the droid? If so Why does nexus get the crap end?
New Titles that work great for me:
Backbreaker and hockey nations
Im using apps2sd and jit could this be effecting dungeon hunter? I just want to know if anyone else is having this experience? Sorry for typos I typed this up with swype

JIT has always had a negative impact for my gaming, due to it's instability. I'm sure some of your problems are based on the combination of apps2sd and JIT.

I'm running stock 2.1 and the only gameloft 3d game that works for me is Let's Golf. I'm hoping things get straightened out soon because I really want dungeon hunter. There isn't a direct link to their android site from the main page though so maybe things just aren't ready for primetime yet.

I have a few 3D games like Raging Thunder on my SD card through apps2sd on cyan 5.0.6 and it's perfect. I previously had it internal (before deploying apps2sd) and there is no difference in performance that I've noticed. It may be down to poor optimisation of the game (common with iPhone ports) or the instability of JIT

I read the reason why gameloft games don't work well is because there direct ports from iphone using powerVR optimization making the droid a better option... Altho gameloft customer service I hear is also piss poor and it took some people awhile to get a working copy of asphault 5 when it was released...
So far the same situation has occured u can buy these games only off there site for android but they dont seem to be working fort anyone

Thats weird. I've been playing all the time without any issues. Im using cyan 506 and app2sd. Never encountered fc or whatsoever.

With all of these influx, what's left is to let Android officialy install apps on sdcard. Hope that Froyo will definitely bring this to the surface.

[Q] Perfomance? Gameplay videos?

Hello!
I'm wondering how this phone perform in heavy apps and games.
I've searched for gameplay videos on youtube but haven't found any. Maybe my searching skills sucks. Can anyone here make a gameplay video? Or link to an existing gameplay video?
I'm about to buy LG Optimus 2X, Samsung Galaxy S2 or HTC Sensation. So I'm just looking for some answers.
Does anyone know any LG O2X vs SGS2 vs HTC Sensation article/video?

Hi.
You can find some gaming performance on this video after min 13:00.

how did you get em to work as it doesnt recognise my phone on gameloft site. cant find em on the market

Thank you for the video!
What happend @ 14:26 ? Since he went to the Task Mangager I guess he didn't have enough free RAM to run the game. But shouldn't a phone with that amount of RAM don't run low on RAM?
Would this phone be the right phone for me if I want a phone that can run EVERY game that exists now. And every coming games for about 1 year?

The Sense UI is a real memory hog. It certainly looks nice, but it takes up a lot of memory. That's why I'm hoping HTC unlocks the bootloader on the Sensation soon than later.

i have been using the desire hd version for those games (cracked apk's)
and what happened @14mins mark was: that game is supposedly made only to run on tegra 2 devices but somehow this guy has found a workaround for it that still is a bit buggy !
about the ram: dont worry u wont run out of ram !

Alright! Thanks.
How much free RAM would it be possible to get? Without rooting or change rom. How much RAM would I save by maybe turn off some animations ?
Like I said before. I wanna be able to run heaviest games that exists now perfectly. And the coming games for a while. Is this the right phone then?

I guess it's quite good on gaming. But maybe gaming works better on another phone.
I guess that playing games eats battery on every phone But I can charge it while I'm playing.
Ah I got a question now. HDMI works on every TV, but it only charge the phone if the TV supports MHL? Is there any adapter, so I can charge it AND using HDMI without a TV that have MHL.

Yes they do have such adapters that allow you to do that which should be coming out soon. I believe I saw one in a Galaxy S II demo video a couple months ago that had two microUSB ports: one for the MHL connection and one for the phone charger.

He was trying to run a game optimized for Tegra - for some unknown reason it didn't launch on the first attempt (black screen), therefore he launched the task killer and force closed the game. He did not kill any other applications. After that, he proceeded and (this time successfully) launched the game a second time.
This definitively wasn't RAM related as there was still plenty of free space left.

Ah okay
The LG O2X does have randomly reboots. This one have a death grip and the camera app crashes. Samsung Galaxy S2, seems to be so plastic and slippery but that phone seems to be quite stable.
HTC Sensation doesn't have USB OTG.
All the phones probably have more bugs but that's a few of them. This is driving me crazy.

Is there a way to turn Sense animations off? That might help memory use and performance.

sometimes it helps to read or better yet look at the videos because in the video he did test dungeon defenders and in other post others have been playing dungeon defenders. so next time to avoid unnecessary post search observe and most of the time your question is already answered

The search doesn't do anything, the video I saw him load angry birds with no mention of dungeon defenders. Although I asked if anyone tried it, not if there were videos of it. The game runs smooth on my SGS in single player, but in multiplayer it can get really laggy. He just showed that it boots fast pretty much.

he did a little play around in the game i would say if you really need to find it. make a new thread asking a question. do you have sgs or sgs2?

First one... My point was single player vs multiplayer on dungeon defenders is way different on the SGS phones (which are listed as "mid range" for their specs, and the only thing better is Tegra2s).
It's not essential, I just can't find much info any where on the net about it (then again it's hard to find as typing "dungeon defenders sensation" brings up tons of forums that discuss both dungeon defenders and sensations but separately) and I have read the SGS2 (which isn't really an option for me, but I am presuming the Hercules will be similar) has problems with gaming. I don't think that will persuade me one way or the other but figured I would just drop the question in a gameplay thread.
I like the qHD screen, but I love my amoled... The benchmark comparisons is sort of worrisome as well, but I might end up with a sensation either way, as long as the bootloader gets unlocked.

Games on the HTC sensation

Does the phone seem laggy when the guy is searching for the games, while browsing thru the home screens?
It sucks that asphalt 6 cant be played yet, hope they make it compatible soon

Also waiting impatiently for first supported Gameloft games.

MOD EDIT-LINKING TO WAREZ IS STRICTLY AGAINST THE XDA RULES. INFRACTION GIVEN.
You can download the .apk s from here. I'm pretty sure they'll work. Work like a charm on my Desire S. Be sure to enable UNKNOWN SOURCES in settings.

huh? games i can play on the hd2 i can't play on the sensation? is it because of the screen size? can't be because of the processing power.

didnt notice any lag in the following games :
NOVA 2 HD
Modern Combat 2 HD
Fast 5 HD
Galaxy on Fire 2
Fruit ninja
GraveDefense HD
Pinball HD for tegra
Samuarai Vengeance 2
ExZeus and
Asphalt 6 HD
most of them are gameloft games i got working and some are even nvidia tegra games only which i have....these games look just fabulous !

wait, you can play tegra games on the sensation?

If you root and get ChainFire 3D from the Market, and then get the Tegra 2 plugin, yes you can play TegraZone games

No need for root, i downloaded patched/cracked versions thats why it is working, because there is no native support for our sensations yet

At the moment no, mainly because of the qHD resolution on the Sensation, but i am pretty sure they will support it in the future. Meanwhile you can try the Desire HD version of the games, although you won.t be able to get one unless is cracked, so i am not encouraging this

every gameloft game works great for me.
Download Spareparts+ off market, open it, enable compatibility mode and restart device. Any app ive thrown at it ive had no problems

What doesn't work?
I picked up Asphalt 6 HD and Dungeon Hunters HD during the 2/$3 deal.
Both have been working great for me. Didn't need to install anything extra.

Samurai 2 Vengeance is a sick game on both DHD and sensation, proper hack and slash beat em up, brings me back to the double dragon and renegade days, god i feel old saying that.
Totemo HD, just a great little game, easy to play and hard to finish.
PES2011 works better than the ps1 couterpart, great optimizing to get this to run so well on a phone.
Pool Break Pro, the best way to chill on a train when some kids screaming next to you, just pop on your headphones and break, cool game.
Meteor blitz, cool game.
Random Mahjong
Tiger Mame, neogeo on your phone ? Neo turfmasters, kof etc etc.

yeah, lot of the games are starting be become available on the Sensation.
Need for Speed works very well as well as Samurai 2 Vengeance.
I hope Konami and Capcom gets on the ball and bring MGS and SF.

gameloft sent me splinter cell because assassins creed didn't work for me even though I purchased it for my N1,works great.

Gameloft's customer service is one of the best around.
I've had the same experience.
I wrote them regarding Asphalt 6 making the Sense reboot upon exit and they offered me a free game to make up for the inconvenience.
I wasn't expecting that and was caught off guard by that gesture.
I just wrote them so they know about the issue in hopes maybe they can come up with a fix on a future update or something...
talk about going above and beyond to make a customer happy...
and they are still working on the problem. it's been escalated to higher ups.
perhaps they'll have a fix soon.

[Q] Games lag on htc desire s?

Iam searching for a good stable htc desire s rom. That can play heavy games like, Gangster Rio, Nova 3, Asphalt 7, Gta 3. As smooth as possible!
I have tried many roms but they r all bad in heavy games. (Sometimes Crash, Freeze)
and the xperia play has exactly the same spec. as my htc desire s. And it doesn't lagg? How is this possible?

By the way i got know: ICE DS v.6.0 Rom
Android Version: 4.0.4
Sense: 3.6
Kernel: 3.0.46-Ck1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567715
And i tried today gangster rio. and it worked way smoother than the other roms. but there is still a bit of irritation lag here and there?
i even overclocked it to 1,5 ghz. the fps raised but. however it's still laggs.
Can someone please help me or give me some advice to run games smooth on a good rom!
By the way sorry for Pretty bad english!

I couldn't realy help you, but i can say I'm playing Asphalt 7 and Temple Run on my DS. I'm uing the sam ROM like you and there are no laggs, crashes or freezes. In case of the other games I could not say anything.
Did you flash FULL_WIPE_DS befor installing ICE_DS? Maybe there is gone some performance?

AOSP ROMs will be better for this case.
Not sure how they will run on JB ROMs, but I had great performance on CM7 a long time ago. Not lag-free, DS hardware isn't capable enough, but manageable.

yes!! same here,, i bought nfs most wanted today,, played one race ,, it was laggy, went on youtube , watched a video of xperia play running the same game with few lags and running like a boss!! then i thought it must be my rom or something,, went again on youtube , watched a video of desire hd running the same game ,, and it was also lagging ,just as mine,, its kinda weird , play have the same specs as compared to our desire s, and 256 mb less ram , still it runs the game smoother,,,,,,,,,

^^^ What he said ^^^ I don't play games on my phone much, but never had a problem either on pure CM7 or on Reaper. The latest games are going to struggle as devs are optimising them for quad-core devices, but that's to be expected.

Yes... Street Fighter 4 works perfectly with the Qualcomm plugin of Chainfire3D and GB 2.3.6. Absolutely no lags or white background. Street Fighter 4 does not work on ICS. This is not a limitation of the ATRIX 2 however, but a compatibility issue with the game itself.

There is a way actually as I remember playing Samurai II: Vengeance THD (Tegra version) a few months back on my ATRIX 2 device. You will need the Chainfire3D app along with the nvidia GPU plugin for it to work.

I suggest buying a Tegra3 device if you can afford. Very high end is Tegra territory. The Optimus 4x HD is available for a sweet price, after the launch of the Nexus 4.
Atrix 2 is capable. I guarantee it will run most games (non-tegra), but, it is not something that will last. If you were asking this same question 8-9 months back, I would've suggested you to go for it, but, not now.
