So what are the pros and cons of ICS for XPlay? Can I root it, etc.?
With ICS you get the latest Android OS and all of its goodies (functions, theme, root etc.), but some games that worked fine on GB are either laggy, buggy, or unplayable. So if you use it primarily as a gaming device stick to GB, but if you use it as a phone, you can try out ICS.
I myself have used ICS all this summer, was pretty neat, but the games that didn't work on it and that I really wanted to play made me switch back to GB.

Thanks... Does anyone know which games will not work on it? Do emulators work fine?
Pros:
ICS
Cons:
Battery drain, some apps are unstable

Thanks, but Titanium Backup is REALLY REALLY far from perfect. I have a ton of apps and reinstalling them with TB is hard to do. Not all the apps will reinstall, then you have to keep figuring out which will install or not install...it's a process that requires hours and hours to do... I even have the paid version.
I'm using CM9.1.0 stable version and I find it laggy and unresponsive at times. More so than I ever noticed when I was on stock GB. I much prefer ICS to GB though so I put up with it. It is annoying at times.

Are there any cons when installing ICS on the r800at? Everytime I try to install ICS Pureness on it, it keeps bricking...so the phone never boots past the SE title/logo...
Did you flashed the ICS beta kernel and den installed?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
You might as well try out Jellybean. It feels so much smoother as any ICS ROM I've used. I'm running Supervenom's ROM with the included kernel and am very impressed with it.
I'm not sure about this, but is PSXperia working on Android 4.0 or 4.1 or up?

How about FPSE?
And does anyone know which ROM Android 4.1 for XPlay is based on? It wouldn't be the XPlay ICS beta, right?

FPSe works great on ICS builds. And Android 4.1 ROMs are Jellybean ROMs.

I know this is a noob question bjt what is Chainfire? I heard before kn XDA TV but dont understand what is used for.... I also tried ro install the Chainfire 3D driver but my phone didn't boot after that... Now im currently using CM9 RC2.... Can i install the driver?

Its used gaming for gaming for better graphic and performance
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium
From what I have experienced using it, is that it lowers down the graphic performance so that the game can run smoothly. Speed at the cost of high end graphics
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium
It is a GUI modification software, it is capable of lowering down graphic details so that a certain program can run in lower performance phones. But it does not support most games though, I tried, uninstalled. It can even reduce quality of your launcher if you wanted to. But then your phone will look bad.
all the previous posts are relatively correct but ill just tell you one thing

the dev of the app was the one who said his app doesn't support ics or jb (it has no improvement when its installed and applied, no changes are done) so i guess if u can see any improvement using it on miui, u shall tell him

In a nutshell:
Gingerbread ROMs are known to have incomplete OpenGL ES support. 3D games *require* OpenGL ES. Chainfire 3D adds the necessary drivers to Gingerbread.

Thanks everyone for the BIG replies... Anyway I tried installing it on my CM9 ROM and it does work cos' i think i set everything to perfomance graphics and then when i reboot, EVERYTHING become distorted including the icons... Temple Run does work weirdly but it SO smooth using it... Now, due to my MASS flashing power, Im using MIUI and i will install Chainfire 3d

i've been using this app since my GB days with my wonder,,
and i can say that its working for me,,,
i've tried it with raiden legacy,, reduce to 16 bit,,, and now there's no white screen problem within the game compared to playing this one without chainfire3d
NICE! So in order to make gaming smoother, i have to reduce to 16 BIT? I tried with CM9 once and icons became distorted... :/ What configs do you use ?

Hi can someone give me a link to a working subway surfers for gio? I downloaded the armv6 version and when i want to enter in game it shows me the start animation and when it's done the app closes by itself .

Sent from my GT-5660 using xda app-developers app

Just out of interest, wy does the regular version (as in what's on Google Play) of Subway Surfer not work on the Gio? Is it to do with screen size, processor speed or what? I'm not really into the games, but my little girl liberated my all-singing-all-dancing HTC, so she could play things like Subway Surfer, and left me with the Gio. Her friend has a Gio, and I guess it would be nice if she could play as well: I could also wave "my" Gio under my daughter's nose, and say "Nuh nuh nuh! My phone runs Subway Surfer as well" OK, real childish, but what the hell :silly:
It's about the processor,our is armv6 and u need armv7 to play smooth this game but it can be ported to armv6 but i didn't found any good port

Force GPU rendering on settings on ICS+ roms and Use CF3D to reduce texture size. Use RAM manager to Put it into Hard Gaming.

Ever had problems running Vector on your Galaxy Ace? Well dont worry because in this tutorial, I will show how to run Vector on your Galaxy ace.
Requirements:
Vector(U can download it from play store)
Chainfire3d(with all plugins installed)
Steps:
1. Go to Chainfire3d
2. Go to Default OpenGL settings
3. Tick Reduce texture quality
4. Tick Reduce texture size
5. Click Use a plugin then select Qualcomm
6. Exit CF3D and open Vector. U will get an error. Ignore that and press OK.
7. Enjoy your game! The game is a bit laggy but still playable.
Hit thanks if I helped you!
Note: You cannot view the intro video in the game.
WARNING! Do not use CF3D on ICS/JB or else your device will be BRICKED!
Tested this on stock roms and its working. If there are problems please reply.

Thanks for the heads up. OP add this point or people may end up bricking. CF3D is not for ICS/JB.
EditOP, i however forgot to mention that it works partially on ics. However i dont know to how much extent it works. But still it is recommended not to use it on ics.
