[Q] HD games don't work on my X8 !! - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need Help Please!
I downloaded and installed several HD games on my Xperia X8, but none of them work. :/
It either tells me that the game is not compatible with my device or the game simply crashes when it is starting.
I installed Chainfire3D and Swapper2 but still same result.
Maybe because swapper keeps saying that swap file not found or something like this.
Is there something I should do?

Buddy , this is a low end device....if you want to play buy a quad-core , dual even an 1.4ghz device is better . Some games work smoothly but not all. If you tried for ex Gameloft games ,90% of them wont work.

You are wrong, because I am playing games, I would say 90% gameloft games work just fine.
Back to topic you have to search the hvga version(*mod)
From what you told about swapper I guess you use stock kernel, swapper work with custom kernels!

older gameloft games work fine on our device. newer games wont work becouse gameloft doest support armv6 anymore.

Sure kernel will increase the performance but that's not the case.
Hvga games will fit to our screen and will have lower graphics, try search on google a game that you want and put hvga in your search

Yes that question helped me ALOT
I tried it,and i got fc after clicking new game. How to solve this?
Sent from my W8 using XDA app.
ask this in a warez forum....blackdroid is a good one.
if you want more fps you should:
1) use swap 256 mb,and close all background apps
2) use overclock
3) use lite cash mediafire.com/?67tk6deedpqu18d (there are compressed textures,deleted all sounds ect.)
guys from 4pda.ru/forum make some mods that increase fps
it's possible if you have dualtouch, can't do nothing without it.
or you have sixaxis app and gamepad from PS3 on bluetooth but still there need to be official gta 3 from rockstar for low end devices
can we change the resolution of our screen?
becouse games does work a lot faster on phones with 240 x 320 pixels
or does change density work also.
i read in indonesian fb group u need to delete the sounds files if u dont want the game to lag

I think you must have a custom kernel, then you must install Swapper 2 from market.

HD Games work on my x8..
try using custom ROM & kernel..
If doesn't work, You must looking for apk that port to x8 (HVGA game)..
google is our friends..
look man first i would resume that you dont know nothing about roms.
some games need more than android 2.1 (but the games you puschased i think is ok) so there are some updates ,that are not by sony ericsson ,and they are called roms, check this and this
usually the roms have better performance and thats because a gamer should use them
the second part is that you should increase your phones performance : with task killer you can free up some ram and with overclock you can increase cpu frequency
there and some other tips. you may check this out(those i have mention above included)
here is a video on how to increase performance in general for android:
also i would suggest you not to purchase games before you make sure that they run on your device(you can search on google or in youtube if anyone with the same device play them)
ps: sorry if you know most of them! i tried to write sth which someone with the same problem and without the knowledge would understand. i hope you found it helpfull!
As i know , there is no way to play 9mm on our devices.

many of HD game have more than 320*480 resolution.. that's why can't play normally in our device..

[Q] Gaming Issues (Frame Drop)

Hello,
i have a big problem with my LG-Device.
I want to play the game Shadowgun THD, but i get always very heavy frame drops... few seconds later the game run smoothly.
Same Problem in GTA 3 (with MEDIUM settings -.-) -> On a Samsung Galaxy S2 it runs perfect
Is this Problem normal or have i a few Problems with my Hardware? Would an Custom rom (already available?) help?
Thanks for help (and sry for my bad English )

Do ROMs have a relation with lag?playing games as an example

so i'm using the jelly blast ROM and when im on youtubei s ee a lot of oepople running heavy games like asphalt 5 and ganster rio without lag on their galaxy ace i when i install it evenif i clean rambefore usie chainfire 3D and use performance governor wityh setrcpu it still lags can it have a relation with the rom im using?if i switch to a light rom like retribution would games like that lag less?
The difference is related to the apps running in the background, if they're using your CPU.
That's pretty much it.
Memory management scripts don't make the current app faster, it just makes multitasker better.
And all the ROMs currently available are themed ROMs based on the stock ROM, so performance wouldn't change (unless what I mentioned above applies).
U need to check your CPU depends on background apps.

Asphalt 5,Gta 3,and certain games will not work properly even with chainfire.The normal ace can play them to an extent.It's the same on stock..Keep your governor at performance for gaming.ie for lag free common simple games

Asphalt will never work on our device.It will make other games better..Nfs shift or Gt racing academy should run with chainfire.Try them if you want racing games.
From my jellyblast powered Galaxy acei
Setting the governor to performance simply locks the frequency to the maximum. So your device will never go below, say, 832Mhz, which should avoid some lag.
I'd suggest you read more about governors and frequencies first. GIYF.

[Q]how to run GTAIII on x8 ?
