[Q] HTC Desire in 2013 - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
My Xperia Mini Pro died, and I'm looking for cheap phone right now..
I found a HTC Desire for a great price, but I have some questions (I would like to use 4.1+ CM ROMs or 4.0 Sense ROM):
- On my XMP I played with Angry Birds games, Temple Run 2, GBA Emulator, Logo Quiz and games like this. On the Desire these games are playable?
- What about video playback? It's got bigger screen than the XMP, so I can watch shows on it sometimes, is the HW enough for this?
That's all for now, hope you can help! Thanks!

If you are running a gb rom like mild wild or cm7, all of that is easily possible. Games and video playback are great. However if you want to use 4+ rom it definately wont be as smooth, but they will still be ok.
Right now I'm running 4.2.1 (check rom in my sig) and video playback is decent, and so are games like temple run 2.
Btw my quadrant benchmark score is around 1000.
If you are looking for a smooth stable 4+ rom, I would definitely recommend the paranoid rom in my sig. It's the fastest ics/job rom if tried so far.

Gingerbread + Gameloft HD Games = ?

Sorry if this has been posted in this section, I couldn't find it and neither could the "Here are the similar threads we found:" dohicky.
After playing a few games today on a friends SGS and being blown away by the "playability" of said games I took to the Gameloft website to get me some.
After buying Eternal Legacy and Dragon Hunter 2 I found I had to update the games over wifi to play, bummer.
Home from work to find that after updating over wifi both the apps force close
without even giving a reason.
My friends' got standard kies froyo, I however have gingerbread, could this be the reason for the FC would anyone know?
Any simple way to fix? Long shot I know but who knows when gameloft will get back to me....
Thanks for any ideas
I had this issue too, but i guess we will have to wait for an update from the game creators...
Gameloft games working fine for me, even with Gingerbread (XWJVB)! Playing Starfront, Eternal Legacy and Dungeon Hunter 2!
Asphalt 6 worked for me but was terribly laggy and would occasionally lock up the phone, gone back to froyo for now..

Games on JVB don't work for me smoother comparing to froyo. The best example is exactly Asphalt. Lags, not much fps... just crap.
In Neocore I've got same result as I have on froyo, but in Quadrant Advanced the 3d graphics bar is a bit shorter... Drivers, hm? Don't know, but froyo is better for games atm. Although I stay on 2.3.3 for now.
samehere.. dungeon hunter worked fine on froyo but after updating to gingerbread got prob on D2H now..
You see this brings me to a question I was literally going to look up this second.
Darkys and multiple other roms list their roms as "3D fixed", I guess this might address some of the issues some are experiencing. I just dumped Darkys in favour of a Doc Kitchen JVB and was wondering if there is a CWM mod that'll fix the 3D? Or a kernel? Since mine is still DarkCore 2.2 since it didn't overwrite it with the Fugu I chose in the kitchen...
Anyone care to weigh in.
I have a rather weird experience with Asphalt 6. My standard ROM is Debus G1, rfs with the default kernel. Asphalt was working decently, just until I flashed a TW4 mod. After that, it will crash when I hit the "career" button. On the other hand, HAWX is working flawlessly no matter what. Any thoughts?
Edit: even weirder, disabled the SGS2 lwp and Asphalt stopped crashing! I smell memory issues..
Anyone tried any Gameloft games on JVH yet?
GB sucks up a hell lot of RAM in comparison to 2.2.1. I wouldn't be surprised if the freezes are caused by a lack of memory.
Gingerbread + Gameloft HD Games = kissing hugging ***king ))
on ginger jvh lagfixed, gameloft hd games are working.. asphalt 6 is working for me better that with froyo with lagfix

[Q] Can you desire play the new gameloft game smoothly??

Gameloft game like : Shadow Guardian HD , Asphalt 6 , Fast Five the Movie: Official Game HD V1.0.3
All of them can't play smoothly on my desire...
I have rooted my phone and flashed Cm7 rom.
I just wonder that is it the problem of my phone or all the desire are not able to play those game...
desire is too week for these games! i have tried newest gangstar and nova 2 and lags like hell.. even asphalt 5 was lagging .. so...
First Gangstar was playable on my Desire. A bit laggy at times, but still playable quite fine - same thing with NOVA 1.
Anyone tried Eternal Legacy yet? I am very interested in playing that one.
Yes and its very laggy. :-( Gameloft suck at games for Android. My friend has it on his desire s and its still laggy. Lots of game devs do better games ad they run fine.
agree.. gameloft's games are not that optimized but they produce the best games..
i think it would have been very nice if we could increase/decrease graphic level (very low, low, normal, medium, high and ultra high) for games on android just like on a pc... so that newest games can be run on most phones with different graphical level depending on the the phone's capabilities
besides gameloft ,

[Q] BEST ICS Rom for HD Gaming

What is the best ICS Rom with working TouchScreen for games? I want to be able to play games like Modern Combat 3 with the TouchScreen responding throughout (if you get what I'm talking about when the controls gets locked and you can't do anything really).
A game like ShadowGun where the TouchScreen is completely bugged. I found a fix for the HTC Sensation and a rom which fixes the problem for the Xperia Play (DarkForest). I hope there is a rom like DarkForest or ICS++ for the Arc/S.
Please help me out here people

[Q] List of the games that are not supported

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.

Gaming Peformance - Audio Lag? (Beans Rom)

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.
