[Q] Graphic problems with the Neo

Hello guys, I got the Neo.
Still tweaking it as long as a non-rooted device allows but i have one really frustrating problem. Well, the Asphalt 5 runs smoothly and without problems and it's a real 3D game. However, neither the Nova, nor the Assassin Creed for example run. It starts and etc but there are many places on the screen lacking graphics, it's like not having the right nvidia/ati drivers and everything is "transparently black" The same situation is with the Gangster. Where the problem comes from and how can i fix it ...?

Actually no idea what is that and if Im using it
Add - I looked around and can firmly say that Im not using it, cause as i understood, it is an additional 3d party app that requires root and since my phone is fresh out of the oven I still cannot risk to root it without having a complete and only for the neo guide for doing it

@cooin
The rooting procedure for both phones should be the same. Only the firmware would be neo specific.

[Q] Jittery/unstable accelerometer...

Just picked up my GNexus two days ago after upgrading from a hugely lag-tastic galaxy portal (spica to you US guys)
Loving it so far! got unlocked bootloader and root
the only issue I have is with the accelerometer in games...
when playing driving/flying games (need for speed/my paper plane etc) although the controls seem fine, there is a very noticable 'jittery-ness' with the visual aspects, for example the steering wheel in NFS.
is this likely to be a problem with the apps not supporting ICS or with my particular device? (either dodgy rom or hardware!)
if anyone can shed any light on the matter that would be great! I have another 11 days to return the phone to the store and swap it over for a new one, would rather not go through that if possible though!
so basically, to summarise, should I exchange my handset?

Hello. It's not a problem with your particular device. I have the same issue with NFS. I haven't tried other games.

You definitely can see it if you use "Google Sky Map". It ain't smooth

My neighbors G2x did this using Google Sky Map. His was all over the place while mine was jittery, but barely (within norm). Supposedly the kernel was causing it to go crazy. Later versions of CM7 seemed to stabilize it.

Mine is jittery too especially with sky map.... in older versions of android there was a calibration tool?

So am I having this problem... On Galaxy S II I'm able to calibration with an option in "display" sector but now I cannot find any clue...
Anybody any idea? I believe there is some way to fix it.

So does anyone know of a custom fix to this? Either through build.prop changes or maybe something we flash to our phones??

Still waiting for help...

[Q] Final fantasy / square-enix games

I would like to ask here for any help getting any (Other than FFIII) games to run on my nexus 7. I have been unable to run them, both the paid for (And I can't get a refund on the 2 i purchased yet) and I've also tried the 'cracked' pirated versions way, and in all cases, the game will not run(screen blinks for a second, returns me to previous screen, or it opens a black screen and sits and does nothing)
The only game I've been able to run was FFIII and sadly, the PAID version would NOT run (I had to use a cracked/pirated version) and I would like to know what I am doing wrong (And considering I've seen a LOT of others with same issue but no 'fixes' yet the issue seems totally random not dependent on the type of device, if the device is rooted or not, or the game in question, I think its something to do with me.
My n7.2 is rooted with the wugfresh toolkit(I had it rooted before another way and had exact issue so I'm not sure its this) and ive also tried after factory resetting the device and same issue.
So can anyone here give me some insight on to what I can try next to enjoy the games I've paid for at least?
Edit: as a test I tried the chaos rings I and II and II installed and played fine yet I did not, both were, if it matters, 'cracked' games and I have no interest in playing either. But added this just in case there's something about them which may help reach a conclusion.

hmm guess nobody else has had this issue. Oh well. Thanks for looking.

IMO I would install a PS emulator and just run the games that way. If you bought them originally on the market legally, obtaining a copy of the ROM for a PS emulator wouldn't be illegal technically as you've already purchased the media rights.

Square is picky about their games. I haven't played the FF games on my N7 but Chaos Rings works. Sadly I paid for it and don't really get into it.

I had the same problem. FFIII and FFV work, but not IV or Dimensions. I dunno, I'm guessing a fix will come eventually. We own a popular device.

Send an email to support, let them know your issue and solution. The piracy should get their actions in gear.

3 and 4 work for me, no go on FFI. It connects to server then hangs on "checking license..." Willing to forgive them if they release FFVII for Android (and if, y'know, it works lol)

Don't hold your breath. All FF games run good for me on my Flo.

Do you have xposed framework installed? That was my problem. Ffiii worked fine, but ffiv and ffd would not work for me. Not sure about ffv, as I had xposed disabled before trying it.
Someone else here posted some info. Check on your sd card for a file named either "__57d5__.log" or something similar. It should say what is causing the issue.
It might also be a dpi issue. Others have had issues with trying to run ffi at 200 dpi, but it works at 240.

[Q] Simple question about Kitkat

Hi guys
so I installed Kitkat 4.4.2 on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 T210 (the italian version), and what I noticed is that my tab became a little bit laggy, it used to run smoothly on JB 4.1.2 even when playing some games like Subway Surfers, but now I can't play this game as it is so laggy.
This update was supposed to make this tablet run better than on JB no? so what's the problem? thanks

Not much improvement with the tab 10 either. Got a new keyboard, and thats it. What a let down.

Same can be said about my tab 7.0 mate, nothing changed, it even became more laggy as I mentionned earlier, I love the multi-window new feature but that's it.. Totally disappointed.

Yes, Samsung didn't even include multi window in our upgrade. I have multi user, and multi window enabled through exposed framework, and it works perfectly with no force closes from low memory. I think we shouldnt have to hack out devices to get features that should have been included with the kitkat upgrade.Samsung is LAME!

Pre-installed games(? :) )

So, not in a long future I am going to buy Ouya android gaming console, cause I have found pretty great deal. But I heard that the "Ouya Store" is shutdown + most of Ouya titles are arcade-type of games...
So I have a big big big request, if you still have pre-installed games on your Xperia Play phone could you back them up for me to .apk format and kindly include the data (.obb file)?? <3 unfortunately I had sold my phone few years back and since it had playstation controlls I think it could run well on ouya (I hope this ain't against XDA forum rules)
Please, help me out <3 cause I would love to play some The Sims 3 or Bruce Lee or some since delete EA or Gameloft Games (like Nova or Dead Space ) on full screen.
p.s i have look over the internet for the xperia play version of the sims 3 (com.ea.thesims3 not the other one) and it is nowhere to be found so please help me out here.

I actually loathe all the built in games aside from Crash, but I can help you out here at least with The Sims, recently got a play from ebay with it installed. I'll try to download the other games too, I tried Crash out of curiosity the other day and it still worked.
Though I'm not sure they will work on any other device.
Will upload later today!

If you managed to get Crash working, could you upload the files for that? I'm talking about the .apk and .zpak files. I'm only asking you because I can't seem to get it working on my device (but then again I've got a custom ROM and unlocked bootloader...) and I'm not particularly keen on returning my phone entirely to stock for the possibility of maybe managing to download it myself.

You actually can take out the game apks from the firmwares, so actually dont need to reflashing many times of your device at all.
Though i've some question to ask. Im own the Asphalt 6 HD before buying at the Gameloft website at old times (but when installed the game is not HD at all), but the game refuse to download the data, thou im still thinking why is not working anymore in this year but when im use the game apk from the Japanese FW, (this is the truely HD) and the game just works. If there any way to bypass it, please PM me. Many others Gameloft games that i've buy and own is not working anymore, but only from the Firmwares still works.
