This is starting as a question, and will eventually be edited to a all in one reference thread.
I know there are SEVERAL, POORLY organized Game compatibility threads in the Themes and App section. The OP no longer owns an A100, and the threads are not kept updated and the information is not very well organized. Meaning users say they work, but did not state how they got the game to run.
What I am seeking from active A100 owners is full information on the games you run, and how you got them to run. Credit will be given to those willing to help with my new reference thread.
So, I would like for "active" owners is to post or PM me with this detail:
The Game Title
The ROM you are using (Stock, Modded Stock, CM9, CM10)
The Kernel you are using
Any kind of setting changes to the ROM/Operating System to force the game to run
If the game is succesfully playable <---(let me expand on this, just because a game shows up in the play store after, say, a build.prop swap, DOES NOT MEAN THE GAME IS PLAYABLE!)
PLEASE ONLY POST GAMES THAT ARE ACTUALLY PLAYABLE! JUST BECAUSE THE GAME OPENS DOES NOT MEAN IT IS PLAYABLE! ARE YOU ABLE TO LOAD INTO THE GAME AND PLAY?
My Testing Thus Far: (if you have gotten the game to play whereas I say it hasn't, please provide FULL detail!)

Hello, ive installed this Rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719746
but when i try to play games, it crashes, i.e off-road legends crashes after 3 min of play, most wanted doesn't even start and so on.
Tried different kernels (Lupus and Doomlord) but - still nothing. OC didn't help either.
Is there any way to play games and still have MIUI because i really really like it
Thanks in advance
Games dont act nicely on ICS.
Yes, if you intend to continue using it for games, stick to GB ROMs.
Okey, I found out there are some games (most common gameloft games) that do not work on this phone, or they work but only with mods and some of them have lag issues.
I've made this thread so we can put the list on, and not be suprised when they try to download them from store, or they have weak performance.
So, can we get the list of the games that are incompatible with HOX or HOX+ ?
if you have some of these games then write them here
N.O.V.A. 3 - heavy lag
GTA 3 - laggy
Batman The Dark Knight Rises - laggy
Asphalt 7 - laggy
The Amazin Spiderman - bit laggy
Wild Blood - heavy lag
Mostly Gameloft games.
If somebody experienced same thing with different game, post it up.
GTA3 runs fine for me on CM10 with ncx's kernel and on my mate's HOX which is running ICS ARHD with stock kernel...
do you have rooted device? if you install a non-stock rom you won't have these lags! as i know, they're persistent only on the firsts ics roms

No, my phone is not rooted. I'm on JB though.
@Azurael
I know that, but on sense 4.1 is painful experience.. And I hate HTC for making only 8 apk to be multitasked.
Hi. This is my first post - I'm new to Android - this is my first Android phone and places like this and the people here and their work are why I switched.
(short version)
Can any Note2 gamers out there chime in on game performance? I am getting deal-breaking lag on any game I try (admittedly limited but including GTA3, MaxPayne and MAME).
(long version)
In the month or so I've had the phone I have rooted and unlocked it, used stock for a while and then went to Jelly Beans' ROM. I've run all the odd numbered versions of that rom, stock kernel, clean wipe every time. I've read the thread about the rom all the way through...
About a week ago I learned I could use a PS3 controller over USB natively for gaming and it worked right our of the box for games like GTA3 and Max Payne. I grabbed the games, and they seem to play great, but there is a noticeable audio lag - like 1/2 to a full second. The visuals seem to be smooth, and the controls seem to be responsive, but the audio lag makes games unplayable. I've only tried those two games pul some emulators, but both animaonline (SNES) and mame4droid (not reloaded) have the same audio lag issues. I get the lag over bluetooth and with wired headphones.
Some searching showed me that audio latency has been an issue with Android for a while, but also that Jelly Bean was supposed to fix that, and that higher end phones (like the note 2?!) had less of a problem. I also haven't seen any complaints from Note 2 owners regarding any of the games I mentioned.
I'm curious what others' experience has been with this. Thanks,

Bean's ROM is an rom that was ported so it was not made specifically for the Sprint GN2. THIS is probably your problem.
Hi Guys, i missed my xperia play so i bought a new one, the scene has changed on here since i left it a year ago for the better, brilliant roms and kernels now!
However am i doing something wrong?
I've tried many kernels and rom combinations but im still experience lag in games (not as bad as a year ago though)
It annoys me as i will be enjoying a game then it will just lag really bad and i lose control of the dpad / touchpad for a few seconds.
Its not constant lag but enough to bug me!
I've tried LuPuS v12 480p and extremkernel R2 000p with the following roms:
Gin2jellybean
Aurora Play
XElite
Atomic
I cant get bane of speed to install (keep getting E: partition error? help?)
These are all GB roms will i have better success on Ice Cream Sanswhich?
i usually OC with 1.6ghz smartass v2 / sio (However i've tried all settings even under-clocked)
Any advice / help would be great
p.s.
Major annoyance is when i play Mario kart 64 on n64oid it freezes my phone no matter what kernel / rom / OC settings im on!!! v2.7 doesn't crash on mupen any ideas?
You should really try ICS roms. Pritty much stable and able to run even heavier games. Just keep in mind that in ICS roms it's everlasting battle in perfomance vs features. Use lupus ICS/GB 480p kernel.
Ofcorse, it depends what games/emulators you are playing, but i can say ICS is compatible with 95% of games (that i try).

Did u data reset before tryuing each rom? (use Tiyanium Backup to backup and resote apps exactly where they were!)

Edit
Imo best rom is stock debloted+RTmixManager/v6SuperXharger/Pizza_Box(not all jusr 1 of em)
Edit2
Sounds weird but keep ur oc to 1.2 GHz in games, just try thqt, nd dont use performancr govenor unless emulating
It is obviously personal preference - i have just spent the whole night testing roms.
Don't like the ICS roms they all seem too fiddly,
I finally settled on LuPuS v12 480p and Gin2jellybean 1.4ghz / smartassv2 / sio
UI is smooth and modern looking and most games run fast as! only getting the odd stutter during a game but only on some and its rare.
I have one major issue now which i dont know if its the rom or the kernel, but i'll pick 2 games its occurring on: Rage of the gladiator and Lara Croft both games are not playing videos in game?
The phone doesn't play any mp4 on the basic stock player, anyway i can fix this? (3rd party players do work but not for the in game videos)
Thanks in advance
why don't you try JB ROMS ..try this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357756
always wipe data/cache/system/rom before installing a new ROM. hopefully this should fix your problem..

It was the kernel learnt the difference between full / ram (full contains video playback) im all happy now it doesnt have seemed to affect the games in anyway that i can notice anyway.
thanks for all your help and suggestions
I use performance for gaming as it keeps the frequency set. Smartass changes frequencies constantly and that could have some affect

On the lupus 480 kernel I get that too with the videos not playing. Asphalt 6 wontload the opening video but says it's unable to play it. Then it loads the game

Everytime I play on an emulator such as N64oid or SNESdroid, my fps drops drastically if i touch the gamepad keys at all. Unfortunately, I use my C pad on the right gamepad, and it does work, but it lags badly. When I tried to play Modern Combat 4, I noticed the same issue was there. I could not play because the gamepad I use to move my guy around was lagging. Is there any fix to this?
I am using LuPuSKernel JB v8 with JB 4.1.2

yep ive seen the same thing on every JB rom. If im not correct the reason is because the touchpad drivers are not offically for JB and have been back ported not compiled form JB source. currently unfix able.

I'm having trouble finding a decent rom for gaming that supports the touchpads without lag. What roms will work? This problem is slightly annoying since it makes it impossible to play Modern Combat and a lot of other games...
well the best answer is always Gingerbread rom with a bit of overclock of necessary, everything works there. just look for a 2.3.7 version rom.

I'm having problems finding a rom that works with LuPuSKernel under 2.3.7... Doesn't seem like there is many \:
