So guys, in the newest ROM by Sammy the Google Play app doesn't detect our phone as compatible with games that should work on it and worked on it previously. Sonic 4 is the most ridiculous example. It wasn't to install on a HTC Tattoo but not on the galaxy w? that doesn't even begin to make sense.
Any ideas how we fix this in our ROMs? We don't want limited Market for our ROMs users.
SGW wasn't compatible with Sonic 4 even with previous ROM version.

Yes it was. I bought it. And played it. On both older ROMs AND ICS. Also Real Racing 2 also isn't available anymore.
edit: even games featured on the Game Hub like Skyfall that should be compatible aren't.
Maybe they just withdrew Sonic 4 from the SGW list for all ROM versions? Because I have the previous ROM, not the latest one. I have ROM version 2.3.6 with built date 5.1.2012, I haven't newest ROM with value pack and Google Play says that Sonic 4 is incompatible with my SGW.
I have a similar experience with game Sprinkle which was offered for just 49 cents in promotion - celebration of the rebranded Android Market, Google Play. The Sprinkle game was compatible first few days with SGW but the developer suddenly decided to withdraw it. And it have nothing common with changing SGW ROM version. Google Play then says it's incompatible but my friend with Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo with similar or lower HW specification buy it without problem.
I don't know, but I am on Stock 2.3.6 still, and Sonic is not available...see pic:

Hey guys!
I was having problems with not compatible apps on my samsung advance too. I thought it was due to changin LCD density (DPI). But wven when setting default values a lot of apps where still incompatible. but then I've tried LCD density Modder PRO. I used the Fix Market Compatibility Issues options, and now I don't have compatibility issues any more. But neverthe less I now use default density settings (240 DPI), cause I hade quite few force closes before.

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!

Please help me, since about a year ago i got the play. The first thing i looked for was a wad player since i love doom. I tried prboom and doomgles and they both sucked. Pr boom doesn't support the plays controller and doomgles is too f*king dark (can't see a darn thing) also can't 'reconfigure the controlers to suite and game datas simply won't download, so i'm stuck with doom demo on it.
So I am basically here to ask for a recommended doom wad player/emulator for my play out of desperation. I'm certain someone has a solution. I'm so disappointed with all these android doom ports
FPse?
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
:/ well i decide to settle with doomgles. i fixed the darkness, got the data to finally download manually, also fixed a problem where objects were disapparing. Still cant seem to get custom wads to work. but for now doomgles would have to do since it seems to be the best for gingerbread.
If thinking about using an ICS rom or above Doom Touch can be mapped to hardware and out of all the ports i think its the most clean and fast choice you can choose.
Doom Touch - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beloko.doom&hl=en
Other ports available on the market for Gingerbread (Can't say if any good as not tested)
DoDoom - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bakateam.andoom
PrDoom - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bestapp.prboomdoom
Retroarch Multi Emulator (Doom PrDoom Engine) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.retroarch
There are a few non market ports which have either been taken down by Google (When Google had a moan and took down ports and emulators like the iods) or never made it to market in the first place. If find any in my collection i will edit my post.
hope this helps

Thank you very much. I wish i could try doom touch, but alas I'm on Ginger Bread.
Never tried Dodoom, so i will give it a werl.
I sent an email to the Doom touch developer asking him:
"I really love the look of your Prboom Plus port and was wondering if you had any plans to support Ginger Bread devices like the xperia play in the future."
He replied by saying:
"Hi,
Probably not to be honest, GB does not natively support gamepads, and a lot of GB devices would struggle to play the apps.
I may do a special release for older versions of Android after I finish my other projects.
Best Regards,
Beloko"
I really wish for an awesome wad emulator like his on GB. The xperia play is starting to show it's age.
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

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...
I have looked around the web and i currently still haven't found a soloution for this.
Recently I play many games like call of mini, frontline commando 2 which both is excellent. the problem is the game works fine but the graphic on the people seems distorted. (Images attached below)
Originally the player should textured nicely but it seems all black and grey:
Can anyone help me
What rom do u use? Maybe that is the problem?
I use stock rom gingerbread 2.3.6 rooted, I am also rooted and ram is 555mb
Install latest stock JB Rom, it has newer mali drivers and maybe this glitch is fixed there.

Best game performance of all roms i have tried so far.
It's probably possible with old video graphic driver. Maybe you may try customised rom, like CM 10.2 TC. I'm using this rom, and I've never seen this bug on this rom.
