Does anyone know if 3D android games will work properly for the touch pro 2 running android? For example, anyone tried N.O.V.A. and other really 3D games? Thanks everyone.
They might run, but very slowly though. Reason being because hardware3D isn't fully workn or implemented on this build yet. Its coming soon. So for now, everything is software rendered or something. Overclocking will help speed up apps and games but it can't justify the hardware3d not working. Try some out for urself and see. Id say if the app or game isn't too 3d intense, then it'll run it. Run an app or game that's very 3D intense, and it'll run slow or slow down device. I've tried some. They work but not fast enough. With this build they getting the essentials wrking first then everything else will follow. I've got a feeling very soon there will be some Major updates. If u must , then overclock. Overclocking will help out with games in the meantime until they finally finish implementing hardware3d/open gl.

I bought 'Super KO Boxing 2 ' which seemed to have great reviews. The only issue with the current build is it's fast enough to be playable but is still pretty slow. The file is also large so you need to install it to the SD.
If I was you I would hold out on 3D games until OpenGL has been sorted. Other than that you can always download normal games that don't use much graphics.
Even if we manage to get OpenGL, I'm not sure whether the TP2 can handle 3D games smoothly. We'll have to wait and see. :S
yep 3d games would be difficult to run smoothly enough to play with the current builds, so all you can do is wait and play 2d games that are fun. a game i play some what is world war, its pretty much just to waste time for me when im bored. either that or abduction world attack which is very fun
@ demandarin: i bet you cant go 10 post without mentioning overclocking in it , lol nah im just kidding, overclocking is great but i swear my phone doesnt like me everytime i try it out and yes i do put in the right amount. but thats another story.
i highly recommend doodle jump, super fun and addicting game that runs in 2D.
can anyone beat my highscore of 86,000?

Thanks for all your replies. By the way, is it better to get a decent android device than to get a touch pro 2 and run android on that. If anyone has the limitations of android on the touch pro 2, that would be appreciated. I wanna buy something that would last a while but I'm on a budget . Is the android on the touch pro 2 customizable like the android on a real android device (I mean if the most apps run smoothly like aHome and others). Thanks in advance!!

id say get a phone with android preinstalled on it. it will run way better, has newer hardware and will most likely have a capacitative screen
yep id have to say get an original android. if anything i would probably say to get a g1 because its the first android and still gots a hardware keyboard and should still be pretty cheep if you buy it on craigslist or ebay or something.
or maybe get the vogue, since its way more up ahead on the android development with ROMS and i think its cheeper to buy also
Okay, i know this is kinda off topic but if you have apk files for android, to install them, do I simply use a file browser and open to install? By the way, I don't think the Vogue is an android device by stock. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
yeah using a file explorer is a way to install .apk, just use something like astro or the one that came with the android build and then just go to the location of where its at and click on it. o and more than likely your gonna get a security warning the first time, it will redirect you to the settings for you to switch it if you want.
and yeah the vogue is not a stock android, thats why i said its in the farest in the android development. that way you can just put a ROM and replace WM in total or use the packages and still use there WM. but hey that was just as a way to save alittle bit more so you can just go with the g1.
So you can totally flash android on the Vogue? Thanks for your replies by the way. Besides those 2 devices, what else are some economical choices?

How many of you guys are going to start playing this game once it comes out on August 5th?
In my personal opinion, the name is kind of stupid but from watching the video below it looks like is going to be a HUGE hit!!

It's only available for nvidia tegra devices
Get Chainfire3D from market, instal the driver, and get tegra plugin for it. use the "fix market settings" to get acces to all the tegra games on market, then when you have the game, go to chainfire, and enable the tegra driver for the app that needs it, and you should be runing it just fine.. some OC might be needed for older phones.
since this is in evo4g...should run just fine.
Runs fine on desire Z whit 1.1Ghz OC

I had heard of Chainfire3D, but I hadn't heard much about its stability with the EVO 4g. The EVO wasn't listed amongst the supported devices, and comments from EVO users, although positive, were in the minority. Has anyone heard more about Chainfire3D specifically with this phone?
I have SGS 2.
Howdy all
Long time forum lurker here, never bothered of making an account.
But now I need to ask this, how good is the A100 for gaming? I can buy one really soon but I was reading reviews and apparently in the press release it is described as a "mom's" tablet.
The dual core and NVidia Tegra 250 + Small screen looks really good and I figured it should run games fine but I want people who own this tablet to let me know first how good it is. My main usage will be films and games, and I mean real games ie GTAIII, gangstar Rio, Asphalt, Modern Combat, ect.
Thank you all for your time and I wish you a good day!
- Noops.
I'm playing Ashpalt 6, Riptide GT, Cut the rope, Let's Golf 3, Road Warior.All of them running fine without glitches or lag.
Although Asphalt is not listed in the market like compatible with the device .
The device itself have some bug with the touchscreen sometimes, search this forum and you will find for what i'm talking about.I see it too but very rarely and only when typing.
For the movies 720p resolution is playable and is good looking on the device.The battery life is almost 4 hours without stop playing .Some people say that is a weak point but ... it's up to you to decide.
I agree, it can game just fine. I have not played Gta though. One Problem is a bunch of games aren't listed in the market, so you have to find the apk online and load it up. 720p runs awesome too.

Editing the build.prop to that of the A500 should make it work (and let it show up in the market).
i used this build.prop
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554259
and flexreaper rom but the game does not appear =(
All of the games that are actually compatible with it seem to run very well on it. Gameloft is finally putting some support on for this device; they have 15 games available for it now.
The hardware supports everything I've run on it well. When I think of a "Mom's tablet" I think Kindle Fire. This one is far more capable.

How can it be?
I managed to see asphalt changing the build.prop and i installed it. When the game tries to download the resources the first time it says the device is not compatible. This message comes up with both a500 and a100 build.prop.
So now what? (Is it possible this game is compatible with a100 depending on country? I know this is dumb but I can't see any other reason at this point)
Finaly the guys at gameloft released the Asphalt 7,i've allready bought it (1 Dollar),but i don't know why the tilting doesn't work,i mean,i tilt my phone but the car doesn't steer,the only way i can play is with the buttons on the touchscreen.Any ideea?Anybody had this problem?

The framerate makes it unplayable for me at stock, it's just too much of a distraction.
I'm waiting on a gameloft update. (sigh)
However, with faux and game booster app it plays pretty good with a decent framerate , but still annoys me that it's still not the framerate it should be & not what iOS users get.
Stock users - I'd say not to bother yet, as the framerate is choppy hell.

Sorry, (in the nicest way possible) .... you must be blind if you think the framerate is ok .
Go have a look at the trailer on the play store, that's how it's supposed to run.
Everyone I've spoken to has mentioned the very poor framerate, even android police the other day mentioned it to be 'definitely choppy' in the pre-review.
It's not Tegra 3 compatible, not really.
It runs at terrible framerates on both my Nexus 7 & HOX.
It may work, but we have to wait on Gameloft for the fix.
This game doesn't even run completely smooth at all on base 2.05, faux kernel and game booster app - stock 1.29 has no chance.
......
Unless your using a U.S snapdragon S4 version, not sure how it runs on that HOX.

Lol, that may be true for NFS, but the size of gameloft games are wayyyyy too big in size.
To think Torchlight is under 600mb for the PC, makes you wonder how a racing game for a phone could be 1.3gb. - ouch.
i don't think the price of an app is an excuse for poor coding - the game shouldn't have been released yet, not in its current state.
I've heard the SGS3 also has framerate issues with this game (just not and severe as most of GL games for Tegra3 devices) and that's operating on a year old GPU, so it shouldn't have optimisation issues - but even here, it does.
But, HOPEFULLY - they will release a fix soon, and not wait a month like they did for batman on Tegra 3.
Sadly, gameloft ain't like madfinger who will respond to you quickly and issue a fix quickly if it's their problem.

Yeah,unfortunaly i've sent an email to them regarding the accelerometer problems,sayd they will investigate the problem,but so far,nothing...i am not an expert programmer,i understand some codes,but i mean,how hard can an accelerometer problem be to solve it?
Luckly that i've got used with the touchscreen "virtual buttons",otherwise i wouldn't played this game.
As for the size of them,i maybe saying something stupid....but...aren't the guys at gameloft using Unity to make the graphics like the guys who made Dead Trigger?I tried like 1 or 2 years ago Unity and the graphics made with that program always use to much space.
Reached championship 9 so far .
Yeah, I think android police agreed with most of us.
Hopefully, gameloft will take note with some bad publicity & make a quick fix.
It definitely seems to be affecting all android devices.
Gameloft should definitely come with a disclaimer warning that it is optimized for iOS only.
Android Police said:
Graphics And Performance
Even with the above foibles, Asphalt 7 could be a good game. The deal breaker for me is the overwhelming mediocrity of the graphics. Judging from the screenshots on the Play Store page, this should be a gorgeous game. Instead, it's just average. Even then, only on some devices. On the Nexus 7 the texture resolution is absolutely terrible. Everything in the environment looks muddy. The cars aren't bad, but there is noticeable aliasing along the edges.
I also looked at things on the Galaxy Nexus, and the textures were a little better. I was still not impressed with the overall fuzziness of the roads and buildings, though. The jaggies are not as prevalent here, possibly because the screen is smaller, and I can't see them as well. For whatever reason, performance is questionable on both devices. Both will get a spot of lag from time to time, and the Nexus 7 seems to have a lower frame rate The brightness also looks too high, making the game oddly washed-out. There are a few places that I could barely see where I was going because the gentle blue track markers blended in too well with the background. Turning my device's brightness down did nothing to fix this. I could also see distant objects drawing as I rocketed along. That should not happen on any modern device.
For 1.4GB of game data, I expected stunning graphics. I really feel like some of the smaller Need For Speed games look better than this. Asphalt 7 is not ugly, but it's just not pretty like the screenshots would lead you to believe.
Conclusion
On the surface, Asphalt 7 is a fine game. The controls are solid, and there are plenty of tracks and race types. I can even deal with the in-app purchases because they don't seem exploitative. This is essentially a $7 game that you can have for $0.99, so dropping a few dollars on better cars seems alright. The learning curve is steep, but not to a fault However, the requirement that you have internet access is beyond ridiculous. Things fall apart for me when it comes to visuals and performance. I'm just disappointed in how this game runs on the Nexus 7, and it's not terribly good on the Galaxy Nexus. Lag, low frame rates, and blurry graphics are not what I expect out of 1.4GB of game data. If this game was free, I'd definitely suggest you pick it up to try. As it stands, you could spend $0.99 if you like Asphalt racing games, but there's just nothing that special here.

Great. I'm only a couple hours into FFIII lol..
It's NOTHING like the quality you get in FFIII, Square Enix basically ported it over and added touch controls, it does not have updated graphics, but thats fine as its a classic, that doesnt bother me much
But the on screen controls are garbage and it doesnt scale to fit the whole screen, no wonder they arent charging as much for it
Sadly, I've heard that's one of the biggest complaints =/ would much rather play on an emulator, since those scale properly.
Still waiting for FFVI (American FFIII) to be released. Have that game on every platform it's been released. And really surprised they haven't ported over their biggest cash cow, FF7, yet.

Hello all,
Have been a PC gamer for many years now and a gamer all my life (Spectrum 48k, 1982) , few games have hooked me in recent years like two of the three game i'm listing here and the fact that we've moved on so much with technology that I've gone from upgrading my whole system to play one of these games and upgrading the operating system to play another vs being able to play them same great games with the same performance on our mobile phones?? is quite odd isn't in it
Anyway, some of you may know about these, some of you may not, so i'll write up a quick tutorial on exactly how to install these games on your Oneplus 5 and what not to do
NOTE** You must own the original game in order to legally play these, I will not link the game / torrent / files or whatever, you can do what you will but I will not discuss this any further so please don't ask! XDA does not condone piracy
The games in question are as follows:
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Doom 3
Quake 3 (with Arena)
The games come in two parts:
The apk which is a front end which can read the pak files which form the bulk of the games
The pak files which are installed when installed on your computer, usually within C:\Program Files\RTCW etc or wherever you installed it.
All of the front end's are freely available on the play store, I personally could not find RTCW on the play store, but as it is free I simply downloaded it, if they offered a premium version I'd certainly pop them a beer or two for their work
Return to castle wolfenstein
APK: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f0a3dy8tvt2wpro/1_return_to_castle_wolfenstein.apk?dl=0
Once installed you will need to copy the folder from your PC called main, the normal path is C:/Program Files/ID Software/Return to Castle Wolfenstein/main
Copy the "main" folder to your phone, then place it into a folder in the root of your internal memory in a newly created folder called rtcw4a, then open the app (rtcw4a)
*Note, you can change the resolution and graphics options to whatever you want, but AA will crash the game if altered, you can also change settings within game as you would on PC, multiplayer doesn't work afaik but the game runs at a nice solid 60fps at least.
Doom 3
App link in play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n0n3m4.DIII4A&hl=en
Again once installed you'll need to copy the folder from your PC called base from your PC installation of Doom 3, again it should be within the Program files/Doom 3 folder, you'll want to copy it to a newly created folder in the root of your internal memory called diii4a.
Note* again you can only change certain settings, the ones i've found to be best are as follows:
Disable lighting - Off
Use DXT Textures - On
Use ETC1 compression - On
Use ETC1 cache - On
Graphics:
Resolution: Normal
MSAA: None
Multiplayer does load on this but there wasn't anyone present, perhaps a LAN party would be possible
Quake 3 and Arena
This for me is the best of the bunch, not because it's the best game, because it just isn't but because you CAN play multiplayer, it's absolutely superb, you can host a LAN party between phones and the framerate is ridiculously high so massively enjoyable, just pray that no one is using a KB and Mouse if you aren't yourself cos you will lose
App link in play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n0n3m4.QIII4A&hl=en
Once again you'll need to copy the folder from your PC called baseq3 from your PC installation of Quake 3, again it should be within the Program files/Quake 3 folder, you'll want to copy it to a newly created folder in the root of your internal memory called qiii4a.
In regards to graphics I set my resolution to 1080p, left MSAA alone as it broke the game (force close) graphics within the game can be changed same as PC, multiplayer works for me as I do own all these games, even if you don't own them, because they're so old, you can buy them for pennies these days so personally I'd say avoid the pirate route, you'll only end up with a crappy version and bad karma
Final notes
All of the games have on screen buttons and have been absolutely rock solid for me,
You will need to be rooted to use a mouse? Not sure why but it requires it?
You will need to use the latest pak files to play these games, if you've already got them say through steam then you'll be set.
PS: I did not make these apps, this is simply a share and how to, props go to the talented bunch who made this possible (who afaik is Proger10 according to the Play Store)
Hope to see you in the arena
PS: Bare in mind, the Oneplus 5 does not allow TV Out via a cable, which is just wrong really, no idea why they've cut that out, suppose it's something to do with Googles decision to pull it even though they actually sell a USB-C to HDMI cable? Who knows.
You should maybe do a YouTube video showing these in action?

Might do, have been quite busy of late, have put up two of these today, one of Zelda the windwaker and this.
@dladz, have you tried getting it to work on a custom rom based on lineage?
Getting tv display out?
You said in another thread all the hardware was there, but maybe it's just something they've disabled in oos. Hopefully so.. Or... To less of an immediate fix. Might be firmware they can update later?

Not personally however on the HTC 10 (same android level) CM / Lin roms currently crash the phone forcing you to hard reset and the performance is sub par in comparison, it simply isn't optimised enough.
I fear TV out is a lost cause, Google started it on the pixel, Samsung have followed suit, OnePlus, the only other I'm not sure of is Sony, HTC and LG. HTC 10 definitely could do it but not sure about the 11.
Just a real shame.

You're very welcome mate.....
Bare in mind that you can actually own a copy of a game for 24 hours for "evaluation purposes"
That is actually legal

No worries mate, not my app, just a share. Works incredibly well on most phones.
I think wolf is still going isn't it? Have vivid memories of a 64 player game, complete chaos.
They've not done a multiplayer game since.
Maybe the new one ? Who knows.
Also the psp and GameCube emulators are 100% on this phone, so powerful.

MP Market Garden!
Madness and pure fun. Indeed no mp got the same fast pace gaming, together with a large community.
We held every week the European Forum Games, planetwolfenstein.
Yeah, awesome period.

Display link adapters work, I had one working today. Just need to find one, cheap enough which is portable enough to be practical
My one at work besides costing over £100 easily, it's too big and needs auxillary power. I'll keep looking.

Maybe?
Needs to have displaylink technology. States this one does. Cheapest one I've found.
More info, looks like this would work..

Just clocked, it's not standard USB. It's bloody that USB 3 with the extra port over micro USB. Didn't see it first, shame. Might still be possible but an extra cable would be needed.
This may do the job: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Plugable-G...97465&sr=8-6&keywords=usb+to+hdmi+displaylink
But £47 ?? Crazy expensive, for cheap plastic.
