Many of Gameloft games closes on ICS/JB roms,,mostly due to some problem in multitouch..i found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443949 where some tweaks have been done to the zoom to make the games working.can these be done to the epic too??
What games?
I have quite a few running on my Epic with CM9 RC2 with no issues, such as Asphalt 7, Asphalt 6, UNO, and N.O.V.A. 2 - Near Orbit…
I did not do any special configuration to get them to work.
side note: I DID add the info from THIS THREAD to the end of my build.prop, but that was to help with the battery life

Maybe a bit off the subject, but I had GTAIII on my HTC EVO4G (unrooted) and I loved it.
Now, I have the Epic 4G (rooted) and I have the game purchased on the market but of course it isnt compatible.
So, I notice some people doo have it on their Epic, I'm wondering how you get it to work ?

I run GTA3 on my Epic all the time, luv'n the save game with a Tank!
I do tone down the details and OC a bit, but it does startup and run with no issue.
Also run Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation and Backstab with no issues
In general, I have no issues with Gameloft games, so I would guess this is just an issue with games Gameloft has not bothered to update for ICS, which kinda sucks for those that paid for them.

That is so weird that it works now because I've tried awhile back and it didn't work, it'd give me a black screen after opening it. But I checked out that thread which helped a ton, and I got it installed and working! 100% .. not one problem.. yet haha.
Ahh, just like PS2 lol, lovin' it! I just found the GTA||| v1.2 apk and downloaded the SD data once (which I've read you may have to d/l it twice) and once it was done it opened just fine and has been working great ever since.
Thank you DCRocks :good:

1) Watch where you're posting. I know there might not be a separate forum for Micromax A89 (and there will not be!) but anyway one can always go to Android General/Apps and similar sections for this kind of problems.
2) As for what you mentioned, yes I'm experiencing the same with an older version of Asphalt 6, only that it exits ONLY WHEN I do a multi-touch action. The problem exists across Android 4.x. I don't care about that game so I deleted it for all my Android 4.x ROMs. Best bet for you is to see if the game you're playing has any recent upgrade. But then again, if you happen to be playing Asphalt 5 or even older games... Time to move on to better games and a better phone!

I have the dixperia 2 rom. I tried clicking on this link when i was using my phone browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmVhLmdhbWVzLm5mczEzX3JvdyJd
It took me to the most wanted page on google play, but it says my phone isnt compatible with the game. How? The game is xperia optimized so my phone should work on it since my phone is a r800i, xperia play.
Also, im still having trouble connecting to the internet using my mobile data. Any suggestions? Im on tmobile
Also, is the stock rom really good if you want flawless performance in 3d gaming?

hey there I'm not an expert but I recently changed from stock to dixperia 2 about 2 days ago and I think gaming is a lot smoother and better performance wise and a lot more stable as I'm a heavy gamer especially for 3D games I love it and as for network problems can you connect to the internet via 3g or not and have you set the apn for it? and need for speed isn't working for xperia play atm on the play store luckily I bought it on my dad's note and transferd it my phone but I hope a fix comes soon as it runs flawlessly on my xperia play =D

@ilikethewayyoumove2, I know thay dixperia 2 is much smoother and faster than jokawild v3 rom, do u occasionally lag when playing gta 3?? Whats your settings on that game?
Also, I have no apn coz I think it got deleted when switching roms. Any way of getting it back?
I don't get any lag per say not saying it's perfect but a lot better I use V6 supercharger as well which helps and you have to set apn yourself Google tmobile apn or something btw how much free ram do you get?
I get about 224-205mb free RAM when using the phone normally (e.g. surfing internet etc) and when the phone is idle.
When heavily 3d gaming, I get about 150-60mb free RAM. Is v6 supercharger and kernal? Coz i have doomkernal v14.
Ive contacted the UK T-Mobile twitter team. They should get in touch with me in about a few hours time. Ive used their twitter service and so far, they've resolved all my problems.
no its a script I'm on a locked bootloader so no custom kernel for me =( and pretty good free ram I normally only get about 145-40 mb of free ram but I get hardly any lag so I'm fine with that =D
oh... then i think i dont lag as much as you. Still, xperia play is a good phone at handling 3d games despite having a small amount of RAM and being a single core
Is it possible for me to get v6 supercharger with my r800i? (I have a .62fw, doomkernalv14, DiXperia2 rom)...
its compatible with all phones and really helps performance and laggy in games fifa 12 doesn't lag at all for me anymore =D
Hi there!
About month ago i flashed an android 4.3 rom (Mokee OS 43.0), and i've succesfully installed and run Asphalt 8:Airborne. I'm sure that this game is 100% compatibible with Android 4.3 because of OpenGL 3.0 support of New Nexus 7 tablet.
Anyway i've back to 4.2 rom because i wanted to end up some older games. Recently i flashed 4.3 again, and there is the problem. Some games like Asphalt 8 are installing, but they doesn't work. When I run Asphalt 8 i have "force close popup" or the game just doesn't start.
The more interesting is that, if I will delete Asphalt 8 app, i can't install it again, the app won't install. I tried some OG 4.3 roms like: Paranoid Android 3.99 , PAC-MAN, MokeeOS 43.0. Every time i made a full wipe before flashing.
I don't know what i did wrong. If it was working of 4.3 , why now doesn't work?

Does it allow you to install from Playstore or does it show 'device is not compatible' ?
Sometimes app developers keep putting devices in and out of compatibility lists.
I've had this experience with other devices.
Example, Subway Surfer was compatible with Samsung's grand, then suddenly they made it incompatible for 4 months, now it's compatible again.

Lol....you guys kill me with thermal sh!t. I will make a video of this phone running the latest games on stock rom. And i play alot. Mc4,fifa14,rr3,asphalt 8 and many more.
Not the slightest issue. The only thing bothering me is in rr3, not in game itself,but on the menus after and between events. But the games run as smooth as it can be.
Asphalt 8 is running pretty smooth on my gf's xperia arc s. So you tell me a game that is not that resource hungry as others,is giving a top flagship headaches???

Kimitza is right. I have Asphalt 8 too, I have been playing it everyday, not the slightest lag, issue, etc.

That's weird, did you noticed that phone is much warmer after 10-15 minutes of playing? On demanding games of course.
I mean lag on highest graphic settings. I know that Adreno 320 is very powerfull gpu, but i know that official software doesn't use all his full power.
Games on New Nexus 7 works much smoother (the same cpu, mem and gpu but better smoothness), i don't want to enjoy games playing on medium or low quality, i want to enjoy full features of it, and play on highest possible settings without any lags, because i know it worked.
Hi guys, I have a problem playing games such as GTA III on my Xperia Play with any ICS ROM: everytime I launch the game, it freezes after a few seconds and I have to pull out the battery since the device stops responding.
Do you have this problem too ? Is it possible to solve it ? And...games aren't supposed to work better on newer versions of Android ? I know that ICS leaves less free RAM but there's are ICS ROMs like Krisdee's hybrid rom that leaves 200mb of free RAM like GB ROMs so I don't know what could be the problem...I've tried overclock to 1,6 GHz too, problem persists.

Not sure if you still have this problem but you should know that just because some android versions (ICS, JB etc) are newer, it doesn't necessarily make performance better. This will be the case when it comes to the Xperia Play, since this 2011 phone has never received an official upgrade to ICS (due to performance issues). When it comes to our phone, Gaming and Battery will always be better on Gingerbread since it is more battery friendly and less laggy performance wise.
If you want to stay on ICS then your best bet will be installing some mods such as Ice Cream Speed or PurePerformancesX however like i said if you're the gaming type then stay on GB for your phones full potential
Good luck
That's the deal gta3 on ics.. btw have u tried asphalt 8 on ics yet?. pls share ur results

Asphalt 8 isn't compatible with the Xperia Play hardware so even if you have JB or ICS you can't even download the game from the Play Store it just says that the phone isn't compatible.
Anyways, I've tried it with a JB rom (downloading directly the apk+obb file) and the game installed succesfully but it was crashing during the loading before the first race so isn't playable.

True... I hope they make a newer version with better hardware.
Still, I managed to run GTA San Andreas on Fusion ICS. You can use the buttons and analog touchpad with gamekeyboard.
Overclocked at 1.5 GHZ and swap of 512MB it won't crash. sometimes I get 30 fps, but most of the time I get a crappy 10 fps...
Greetings.
In hopes of finding someone who's facing a similar problem, I'd like to ask you about a certain issue.
I've installed the Xperia Play Z Ultimate Edition rom on my Xplay r800i. It's running all cool and great, but there's one problem. The apps are closing for no reason. It's like, one moment you're playing a game, and all of a sudden the main screen appears, as if you pressed the home button, but the app is gone. It looks like they're crashing when the phone is under heavy load. It happens to literally everything. Even Messenger bubbles often disappear when there's a new heavy app starting.
I've searched the rom's thread, but didn't find any information about such problem.
If this matters, I've flashed the kernel that was supplied by rom creator - 480p DoomKernel.
This is the first rom I've seen which has an issue like that, and I don't think there's any alternative, as this is the only ICS rom I know that keeps all of Xplay's core features while significantly improving speed and functionality.
Please help. Does anyone know why this happens?
Update: out of frustration, I've changed to another ICS rom, Honami 2.1.3, together with switching to a Lupus V7 kernel (ram version)... and the same thing happens. Although with the new rom my phone's performance seems to have DRASTICALLY improved, apps are still closing for no reason. There's not even a popup or error, or anything like that - it just pulls the plug and suddenly kicks me to the main screen.
This problem renders heavy games literally UNPLAYABLE. It runs perfect for like 5 or 10 minutes, with high framerate even, then out of a sudden BAM - back to the main screen. No error, no nothing.
Browsing around Lupus settings I've found something called Low Memory Killer. From what I understand, this thing kills the apps when the device is on critically low memory. Maybe this is the cause? And if it is, why the heck is it "going rogue" and killing apps that I'm ACTIVELY USING? How do I configure this? I assume you can't just disable it...
Please help.
Seriously? No one has ANY IDEA what's happening? Please help! I literally have no clue what may be causing this.
Switched to YET ANOTHER rom and kernel - Nexplay, with bundled Lupus kernel, this time also changing the firmware to R800i_4.0.2.A.0.58_Enhanced. With this one, the phone runs definitely the fastest, but guess what... same thing happens as before. Games commit suicide when played for too long. Out of all I've tested, the only ones that don't shut down are OpenTyrian and Nes emulator. Gun Bros worked fine for like 5 minutes, and suddenly closed, working very slow for like 2 seconds before it happened. Same thing with Vendetta Online but this one outright REBOOTED THE PHONE! And these games supposedly are optimized for xplay, so it doesn't make any sense why there's such a problem going on...
I'm starting to wonder if maybe it's because I'm using ICS roms? But then, I've never seen anybody reporting such problems with ANY rom. This definitely isn't a common issue. I'm also using Link2SD, but again, I've never seen anyone mentioning it causing anything like that.
I can relate to your problem. I've experienced the same (apps randomly closing while in use) issues 1 or 2 years ago and to me the development on these roms are dead since the developers have moved onto newer devices. Currently my xperia play is dead (bricked) however with experience of using many of the roms i can safely say that ICS is not meant for the xperia play. Sony themselves didn't officially release ICS for this device due to the number of bugs and problems associated with it. I'd recommend you to use GB roms to bring out the best potential of your device. ICS lags some way or another whereas GB doesn't. All games run smooth on Gingerbread and they certainly do not have issues like ICS does. The best rom for this device is Gin2kitkat ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631144 ) and my personal favourite Xperia NXT 2 r1 (i've used this rom the longest). Here's the link for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649368
From experience, as long as you use a Gingerbread rom you should be good to go as they are the most stable for our device. Good luck
Aaw, that's a real bummer. The problem with GB roms is that there's a lot of ICS apps and games that I really need. One of the main reasons I've decided to unlock bootloader on this device is because I wanted to get an upgrade to ICS. It's really strange. I've seen people play advanced games on this phone (example) and there are no signs of problems such as the one I'm experiencing.
Thanks a lot for your reply. I guess I'll use one more ICS rom, and if that fails, I'll give GB roms a try.
Btw, what do you think about NXT Gaming rom? I don't care much about flashy UI and widgets, and as long as everything in the phone works (camera, xLoud etc.) priority for me is gaming performance, and from description, this rom seems to be the most aggresive I've seen when it comes for optimizing performance for games.
I agree, from the vid the user is seen to be running the ROM "ICS Ultimate". Also i haven't tried the NXT gaming rom only the NXT 2r1 but regardless, with that rom i've been able to play emulator games and heavy intensive games such as Fifa 2012. I'd only imagine the 'NXT Gaming rom' is faster and better but since i haven't tried it, i'm unable to give you a direct response, sorry. Anyways Gingerbread will always be the best in terms of gaming performance and functionality, but if you're able to find a good ICS rom that is smooth when playing games such as GTA then it's entirely up to you whether you want to stay on ICS or not. Also correct me if i'm wrong but i remember GTA3 (not san andreas) being playable on gingerbread.
Correct, GTA3 DOES work on Gingerbread, but unfortunately only this one and Vice City do so. GTA San Andreas and Chinatown Wars will not work on anything lower than ICS. This is an example anyway, cuz there are few more things that I need and will work only on ICS.
Anyways, guess what. I've tried YET another Rom from a portuguese site (rom is Fusion ICS 2.4), and the problem stopped - apps no longer spontaneously shut down. There's another problem though... as this system is ridiculously unstable. Sometimes it's fast as lightning, then sometimes it slows down to a crawl for no reason - it has nothing to do with active apps; it often happens with no active apps running and with tons of free ram available. It's completely random. Even the interface sometimes crashes for no reason. Curiously though, all games run extremely fast and they never shut down on their own. Unfortunately, it's not worth using such a train wreck. Games running well while the rest of the system goes haywire defeats the purpose for me.
I'd give "ICS Ultimate" rom a try, but for some reason, I get virus alerts when trying to download or open the file. I guess I'll either wait until it's confirmed false alert, or go for GB roms finally.
