I have an HTC Desire C which I know is a low-end phone (please google the speccs) but mine can't play even basic games like Subway Surfers, Jetpack Joyride, Bad Piggies and Zenonia 5 without it lagging horribly. However I have been able to play Angry Birds, Clash of Clans, Clumsy Bird and Hill Climb Racing without any lag. I can also play games on that My Boy! GBA emulator very smoothly 95% of the time (but it does lag for short bursts of time). I have not rooted my phone, Android version is 4.0.3, am using Nova Launcher and run all games in Boost Mode (Clean Master). Have plenty of free space on my 8GB SD card. Can anything be done? If not, can you recommend some good games that will not lag on my phone?

First of all, this is kind of in the wrong part of the forums, you'd be better of in the general Q&A section.
Secondly, the phone isn't really great, at all. It's a single core which runs at 600mhz, not that great, at all. You won't be playing a whole lot more than what you are able now.
You could always root your phone and overclock it a bit, but then it gets a lot hotter.
Conclusion: If you want to play games, buy a different phone.

So I figured I'd start an Inspire games thread because after rooting this device I really discovered its gaming potential! First off, gameloft has a good assortment of games that you can install, once rooted, through the desire hd page on their website (you could use sideload wonder machine if not rooted i suppose). The real treat however is the gameboid emulator that has hundreds of GBA games for free once you buy the emulator on marketplace. Best $5 I ever spent. Runs flawless on most games, controls take a bit getting used to but are decent. I also got the N64 emulator which is pretty cool but only plays a select few games without glitches, mario 64 looks great on the screen!!! Anyhow I hope you guys check these out.

I don't mind supporting the developer plus the paid version allows you to save your games.
Personally, I like the cool free games that are in the android market more than the usual emulators.
My top four are Pocket Legends, Tank Hero, Gun Bros, and Angry Birds. All are free, and a ton of fun.

I second that. Emulators are cool but control wise the games are designed for hardware and not touch screens. In contrast you have excellent native games for android like angry birds, gun bros, and pew pew. I like the native games best.
I was about to create this thread at general discussion but i guess it belongs here, we can share recommendations of games and talk about performance on our devices.
Just downloaded the new ZENONIA 4https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gamevil.zenonia4.global
Love the series and 4 is the first episode with HD graphics, which woud be awesome if it didn't ran so sluggish on x10 i'm on vmcms 2.3.4 rom, anyone on different roms had a better experience?
I'll leave a recommendation, Dungeon Raid https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fireflame.dungeonraid it's an addictive "trace puzzle" (don't know how to describe it) with a fantasy rpg theme, match three or more icons of the same type trying to draw the longest line, the mechanic is used to attack monsters or defend, collect gold, potions, very easy to get into but deep. This is an excellent time killer and a great value if you enjoy this type of games.
Need for speed shift and reckless racing work very well

My experience is that zenonia 4 runs sluggish on any rom that uses a modified stock kernel. I've only had smooth experience on a rom using the cm7 fxp kernel. FXP 10* or miui dark edition based off cm7 are basically the only two running it smoothly

EA NFS Hot Pursuit and EA Real Racing 2 running perfectly. The most awesome graphics to embrace a smartphone game. Ever.
Others: Modern Combat 2, Splinter Cell, WC Cricket Fever
MIUI 2.2.3 overclocked to 1152 MHZ.
I'm playing Asplhat 5 and Rainbow Six right now.
Rom : Oodie's MIUI prime x
Asphalt runs fine however Rainbow six lags a lot how do I improve it's performance? If you're gonna ask me to overclock then please tell me how do it because I don't know how to.

edit: nevermind I figured how to and it doesn't help.
Does Shadowgun runs well? it seems to be the most graphically intense android game.

the best looking 3d game i've seen running on x10 was Dead Space.

Thanks for the info, it's been a long time since i've tested fxp cm7 but i may give it another try.
try thgo v14.0 it is best gaming rom
what you got at the Play Store (i'll never get used to this name) sale this week?
i've gone crazy, purchased Cut The Rope, Shadowgun, Quell Reflect, They Need to be Fed, World of Goo and Osmos HD there are more games and apps available for very cheap prices, don't know for how long.
Osmos - you are an amoeba-like blob that moves by ejecting it's mass and must consume other blobs that are smaller than you, as you eat you grow bigger and can assimilate bigger ones, unless they assimilate you first. The challenge is controlling your movement in a way that you don't waste your mass and there are a series of tasks you must complete. A creative and clever game with very nice presentation, it runs fine on x10 with occasional stutters but no bigger issues.
Cut the Rope - this one doesn't require much introduction, it was a huge smash on iOS and it's quite sucessful on android as well. several puzzles in which you must cut ropes in order to feed a small lizard with candy, cute and with great physic effects, adicting and well worth the cheap price.
They Need to be Fed - looks like feeding is a recurring theme with those indie games, this one is a simple yet cool 2D puzzle platformer, traverse a series of obstacles involving gravity and collect diamonds to feed a creature in the end, one of those masochistic games in which you die tons of times until you master the levels but it's nice and addicting if you're into meat boy or similar.
Quell reflect - a good surprise, it's a puzzle game where ou must guide a drop of water through a series of obstacles, flicking your finger starts the motion which can't be stopped, sounds tense but it's a relaxing game with a nice presentation. Oh, no feeding here.
World of Goo - a pretty popular game widely available on PC and Wii, gameplay fits very well with touch screens and performs fine on x10, you must guide a bunch of black blobs of goo through the scenery by creating structures, you touch a goo and swipe it to the position and connect them. the physics can be a bit unforgiving but the game is very well done.
Shadowgun I have not tested yet because it downloads a lot of stuff and I couldn't finish yet.
help me
how an i install nfs shift and hot pursuit on ma xperia x10 rooted running on 2.3.3
I guess shadowgun is too much for our old X10, it only shows the opening sequence but when it starts loading the first level the phone reboots.
will keep it for when i purchase a new phone.

Runs perfectly on Cobrato MIUI. I just reboot the phone before playing - it frees up all the RAM and kills unnecessary background tasks, and RR2 is buttery smooth.
I've been using feravolt's V12 Enhanced Edition and of all the stock roms I've tryed it's the best for games performace, there's an optional boost gpu script but even without using it there's a noticeable improvement. However, playing games will eat your battery even faster than normal.
Kairosoft's new game Dungeon Village has a lite version, it's a cool and addictive sim game as usual, but it's kind of a casual ripoff of another game called Majesty (available for both PC and Android), where you manage a fantasy town that must attract adventurers to it. Majesty can get brutal in the later levels, I have no idea how Dungeon Village will evolve but it looks much more simple.
And of course, Angry Birds Space was unleashed upon us.

Usually when I wanna look for good/cool new apps or games I go on the Google Play store website on my home PC and use the various search functions on the Play site and can sit there for like a hour just looking at apps and reading reviews/descriptions hahaa.
Yeah, that's what I've tried and am trying to avoid. I can only see so many clones of Fruit Ninja before I want to punch myself.

Just tell me this: Can I still advance, albeit slowly, without purchasing things? I hate those games where you get so far and you realize that you have no hope without dropping cash.

Battleheart like above poster mentioned is a pretty fun game - you can squeeze a bit of fun out of that one for sure. But it would look at Heroes of Order and Chaos, definitely a very competitive and challenging game. Basically its the phone version of DoTA, LoL, and HoN.

hands down one of the many games I can play for hours on by. Got it on all my devices to transfer gold and items.
Day 45. I'm still playing this.
Here's a youtube vid of the game:
If all the Modern Combat or NOVA games were compatible with the S4 I would suggest those, I have really enjoyed their campaigns. Unfortunately only NOVA 3 and Modern Combat 3/4 are compatible -_-

+1 on Bards Tale, definitely one of the best games ever on Android. It's one of the few games that's actually a full fletched game and not just something you play for five minutes on the toilet lol.

I loaded every single version lol. Its not so hard. Spoof your S4 to a different device model so that the android store thinks its such, and then it will let you install applications for those devices. Lets you also get tablet versions of apps and also those really old ones that they are aging out of the market.
Anyone noticed that one s can't play some of the more graphic intense games like FIFA and NBA Y2k? Other phone like Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 which has a slow CPU but had a more updated GPU can play the about games. I wonder is it because of the GPU. Anyone got any ideas?

Mine's fine just get's it just heats up loads when playing!
Me too, I'm very angry with it. Why should htc one s have not these games while other devices less powerful can play them??
So I'm just getting into emulators, and want to download some classic PSP games to play. It's been so long since I've had my PSP, I don't remember all the good games. So far I got Socom: Fireteam Bravo, Ratchet and Clank : Size Matters, Killzone Liberation, and Resistance Retribution. What are some of your favorites?
And just a heads up- I'm using the Moga Pro Power controller and it works unbelievably well with emulators, especially PPSSPP which is what I'm using for PSP emulation. Having your phone snapped into the controller turns it into a portable game console that is super convenient to use. I highly recommend that controller.
Also, please don't discuss or ask where to download the game ROMs from. Let's keep this convo specifically about the games themselves.
