[Q] Tegra Zone not compatible?

I thought this phone had tegra inside. Why can't I download any tegra games (pinball) or use the Tegra Zone?

It's a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, not the Nvidia Tegra 2

Why in the world did I think this was a Tegra? Dang. Buyer's remorse.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

if the sensation was tooted, we could play some (most of ?) Tegra games on our devices, unsing Tegra fix, Chainfire 3D drivers, etc
So far, and as I had no choice, I just found a "special" version of Pinball HD for Tegra2, that is compatible with non-Tegra devices.
So yes, I installes a warez, blame me, fire me, but I didn't have choice, I would have bought this game if my Sensation had been rooted and then I could get this game legally.

Tegrazone
Hmm i can install the tegra zone... and the game "Dungeon Defenders" works good...
i dont know why the tegrazone are @ the market 4 me )
games like samurai II vengance are only locked but playable with patches from XDA (i think)

you can install Tegra Zone, sure, but it won't let you install the games.
And to apply the patch you're talking about, you need root

Tegra 2 is arguably the worst dual core chip when compared to the snapdragon and Samsung dual cores, but yes, it has the best exclusive games.
I wouldn't be upset with having a Sensation. It's far better than the Optimus 2x and Atrix. More reliable too.

My Sensation is on its way. I'm surprised to hear that the Tegra games won't work w/ non Tegra phones. I don't remember reading that when I bought them. Had most of them on my G2X, but I didn't play them all that much though. I always seem to go back to Angry Birds.
Maybe I'll just sell those Apps.
jk.
Can't wait to get my new toy!!

Good to see you made the leap ickster - I couldn't get rid of that G2x fast enough myself - after four bad ones I was OVER IT.

Hey guy...Yeah, but I'm holding onto the G2X for awhile to see how it plays out. I still hold out hope for it. I picked up (held) a Sensy at the tmobile store today, felt pretty nice.....I think I'm gonna like it! Can't wait.....already purchased the hdmi adapter and spare batteries and a charger. I'm ready to go.

i knew going in that it would not work.. luckily i have a xoom to cure that need

Please explain why ? I would like to know

yes ... why do you think that ??

There was a post somewhere on the myouch forums about a hacked version that would let you install the games... Never tried it but people said it worked. If someone finds it it would be gr8

LOL... please elaborate, tell me you've at least done a little bit of research before forming an opinion like this?

maybe the sensation will be able to use The newly announced "Playstation Suite" that allows us to play touchscreen optimized playstation roms for like $20 or game or something crazy like that I'm sure

Some games like Dungeon Defenders will work because there is actually two versions of the game. The market checks which hardware you have and downloads the right one. I ran it on my MT4G and Tegra 2 tablet and it downloaded a HQ version on my Tegra 2 Tab but SQ on anything other. I know some games are strictly for T2 and will install on other phones (side loading of course) but will not run

What really weird is Rockstar did a port of GTA III for PSP, wich has a 333 MHz CPU and now it needs a 1GHz dual CPU for porting it to Android?
i expect some porting

That's really the big question. That crossed my mind few days ago, when I've read this first.
I really hope this will work on single-core CPU phones.

Hope this isn't just a port but a revamp with better graphics (textures, models, lighting...) considering they are targeting high ends devices with dual core...should be doable

The release date is supposed to be December 15, 2011. See here: http://www.rockstargames.com/newswi...year-anniversary-edition-coming-to-mobil.html.

Hope they port it for Mid range devices

Bought it for my Live with Walkman, and have to say that gameplay is quit good, overall performance is nice, but sometimes game a bit laggy, I think that is too low memory.

I'm having problems with the game. After downloading the additional gamefiles (approx. 450MB) and pressing next, it just transfers to a black screen. Nothing's happening, tried leaving the screen on for a few minutes, but still nothing. Anyone else having similar problems?
Running SGS II (international version) on CM7 nightlies #115. I know the latest one is #116 but #115 is much more stable. Though I'll try updating to see if it works.

Runs on my Optimus ONE (V, armv6). It has no sound during gameplay, and is sluggish.
But it runs, which surprised me.

Hi,
i have no problems on SGS2 (CheckRom+Siyah) and Desire HD (ICS Beta 7).

Any one tried how this runs on a galaxy s i9000?

It only works on certain phones at the moment: -

Galaxy S2 or Xperia Play?

Hey guys. I will be able to change my phone real soon and I'm kinda in a dilemma on which phone to get, the Xperia Play or S2. I'm planning to use my new phone for gaming LOL. Xperia Play has 1Ghz processor and 512mb of ram, but has that fancy looking controller. S2 on the other hand, has 1.2Ghz processor and an amazingly 1gb ram, to compensate for the controller, it is a ridiculously thin smartphone and a better processor. I'm looking for the smartphone which is optimised for gaming.. I want to know you guys opinion!

well lets put it this way if the galaxy S II had a controller built in it would be the clear winner. xperia play i think has most game compatibility but every game ive tried on my s2 plays beautifully and lag free

+1 For great gameplay on my s2 - There is always the option of a bluetooth controller if you are REALLY into games

I have a play.. its nice for gaming but would rather have the S2. I'm getting the galaxy nexus next month and cant wait to get rid of this phone.

The device you pick should really depend if you really want to play a lot of games on your cell phone. I have both the xperia play and the T-Mobile galaxy s 2 that I use for T-Mobile.
The galaxy s 2 is really great phone that you wont be disappointed in because...
.1 gig of ram really helps multitasking (compared to 512)
.2gb of space storage compared to 512mb(really like 400mb for you to use)
. You can connect the phone with an HDMI cable to an HD TV with the help from an adapter.
The xperia play is a really good phone because...
.to play so many games from the android market, emulators that play Playstation 1, N64, SNES,NES, etc.
. It has surprisingly good battery for gaming.
* I like both phones but since I am on T-Mobile I use the galaxy s 2 more because of the 4G connectivity. If I could use the xperia play for faster internet I would pick that one. Pick the xperia play ONLY if you really like playing a lot of games on it like me.
Since the galaxy s 2 is newer compared to the xperia play it is technically better but since games on the galaxy s 2 are okay, they are better with actual hardware controls.
I hope I helped. Sorry for the long post.

Yea getting the SGSII would be better,plus it has a big screen so,your fingers will have enough room to game

Thanks for the info ppl. But there are several games I heard which S2 doesnt supprt while Xplay supports it? Like Samurai Vengeance2? It will only work on S2 if its rooted and chainfire enabled and I dont wish to root my new phone

There's 2 different S2?!?
I just did some research on it. It's model is i9103 right?

Wait. On the first quarter of next year SE will probably launch a new play, probably with their new NovaThor SoC, which is just as graphically capable as the Exynos, but the processor is a little worse, eveb though is still dual core.

The xperia has a more outstanding design but I would get a SGSII (if I wouldn't be in love with my Optimus 2X), as the lifestyle factor is much higher ;-)

sgs 2 cause of performance and look
sgs2 wins in all areas

SG 2 is better in performance, and overall, but Xperia Play is made for games so it's up to you, obviously is more comfortable to have the buttons to play the games, so in the end you will have to decide between that, overall performance vs comfort in a specific area.

gs2 plus if u have a ps3 or Xbox 360 you can connect it via Bluetooth.

Xperia T vs. LG 4X HD

Hi everyone, first of all, i dont know if this is the right section. Dont get angry!
So heres my question. I have an Xperia T, and my father a LG 4X HD. As my father doesnt mind me trading it with him, I am considering it. I will use it mainly for WhatsApp and gaming. Is the 4X HD able to run games like Modern Combat 4?
Thanks!!

Yes and as the Optimus 4x has a tegra processor you would gain access to the tegra games as well which in general offer better graphics then normal games. It is also a pretty modern device so you should have no problems with games

If u don't mind about lg bad support.. Lg 4x is a quad core smphone which has the same benchmarks like s3, one x, n4...
Xperia T is very very good but dual core..
Xt is clocked 1.5 (x2=3.0).. and LG 4x 1.5 (*4=6.0)!!!

[Q] Tab 2 7" Questions

Hello all, Hope you are well.
------
So I will be buying the 7" version of this tablet before the end of the week and I have a few questions regarding the development side of things, I have previously owned a large range of Android devices and rooted and used custom roms ect on them all so I am not a noob lol.
-------
My questions are as follows"
1) What is the highest frequency possible for the CPU?
2) How many cores are available for the GPU? and what is the highest frequency it can be set at?
3) Is 4.2.2 JB available in a CM?
4) The ram is stated at 1gb but I guess it would be around 770mb available, is the ext4 or ext3 ram extender available for this device?
5) How are the 3d or HD games running on this device? performance wise.
6) Is it worth $198 Au?
-------------------------------------
How does this tab compare to similar ones on the market?

I'm guessing your from Australia, like myself.
I've gone through alot of tablets.
For the retail price of $200 at jb Hifi, **** Smith, officeworks, big w (all are advertising it at that price)
etc it's a good price.
Online - eBay is obviously going to be cheaper obviously.
The tablet is great I myself this week got the Samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 16gb WiFi ver only for $300 - any of the stores above.
And bought a 64gb card for $50 on eBay.
I bought cause I need more screen estate and will be docking in the car alot.
Any questions ask.
