I have no idea about the final fantasy but about the modem, tell me what modem have you flashed? XXKI3 modem is known to decrease the heatings significantly.

I do not think that flashing a modem will help on your heating up problem when executing games or other CPU demanding apps.
Which ROM / Firmware are you using?

im using ice cream sandwhich i havent rooted my phone so its still all a root virgin lol and the modem i have at the min is
Baseband- I9100xxkh3

Final Fantasy 3
If you want Final Fantasy 3, buy it from the Play Store, surely?

I got told going back to the gingerbread baseband modem would do it but NOPE it hasnt lol

I think it's normal, my ipod got super hot when I played 3d games on it, maybe it is a CPU demanding game?

N64oid On Vibrant

Is anyone else Having problems getting N64oid onto their vibrant? I search the market on my phone and it doesnt even come up. When i search it on my laptop at the android markets it finds it just fine, but i cant get it couse it says my device is unsupported.
However i keep seeing new reviews which leads me to think it still works and some of the reviews are coming from fellow vibrant users. Could someone see if they can
A) Find the app on your phone through the marketplace
B) Is it supported?
i emailed the dev on it, hopefully he'll get back to me soon. But if anyone else has any answers or your having the same problem... just let me know =D
thanks!
Once this is working i will start posting ROMS that work, how well they work. I owned alot of N64 games so i'll at lest post about those. If you have it working and would like to post what works and what doesnt I'll keep this first post up to date with your guys' input. =D Thanks guys again!
That's weird, n64oid shows up fine for me. Maybe its the rom you're using?
Anyways, heres what's working:
Full speed with sound:
1. Super Mario 64
2. F-Zero
3. Pokemon Stadium 2 (w/2d glitches)
4. Super Smash Bros
5. Mario Kart
6. Wave Race
7. Banjo Kazooie
8. Diddy Kong Racing
Full speed without sound:
1. Goldeneye
2. Pokemon Stadium 1
3. Zelda Majoras Mask
4. Zelda OOT (crashes frequently)
Unplayable:
1. Perfect Dark
2. DK64
3. Conkers Bad Fur Day (noooo!!)
4. Hydro Thunder
5. All Mario Partys (graphical strobe effect)
6. Paper Mario
...the rest
What ROM are you running?
It's working fine for me
that actually might be it. Im running launcher Pro, rooted with the lag fix. I'll turn that off and see if it works.
*EDIT*
Ok, i just turned it off and im still not seeing n64oid in the marketplace. I can still see it on my laptop but its still saying unsupported device. I am on android 2.1 this isnt a 2.2 only thing is it?
How do you get games???

ROM Gripper ++ seems to have the largest selection for an app on your phone. Just make sure you own original copies of the games you're downloading.

It says in rom gripper++ that some emulators don't show up in the market for some countries so this could be why.

You need to upgrade to 2.2
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk
but then my lagfix wont work =( and before the lagfix i score around 860 and after im getting 2270. Even with 2.2 i was getting 870... i dont want 2.2 if i cant have the lagfix.
Dude... Lagfixes are included in damn near every rom here. Your quadrant score is a very superficial number like how many freckles one has. It all comes down to how smooth the UI is and I can assure you they all are very smooth and each is very unique in its own way. Do you want the ability to show your friends a high quadrant score? Or would you rather show them Wave Race 64 or any game you own 64 wise. I use this quite a bit and people in my area are more prone to be blown away with high end mobile nostalgia than a static screen . Take the plunge for flash alone at the least.
i know, but when i dont have my lag fix on my phone is stupid slow. Like, scrolling through my apps is glitchy and lame till i have the lag fix on.
Im using the vibrant toolbox to root my phone and then i put on ryanZA's OCLF lagfix.
is there a better one/way to speed up the phone?

Yes. Voodoo. The Overstock kernel is also VERY smooth. I don't even remember what my phone was like.before Voodoo.
Really if you've already rooted, there's no reason you shouldn't go ahead and upgrade to 2.2. Voodoo is a far better lagfix, and if you get a kernel like Overstock that supports it, you can have awesome enhancements like Voodoo Sound and Color, and BLN (let's you use your touch keys as an LED notification, blinking and all).
i actually remember why i went back to 2.1
i had just upgraded to 2.2 and that night my phone almost commited suicde. It was on my desk all by its self, nothing on it, under it or around it. It kept buzzing at me at like 3am till i finally got out of bed to see what was up.
It was SCREAMING hot and the screen had a flashing thermameder on it. It was all plugged in fine no problems... i of course unplugged it for the rest of the night. But yah...
so i just put 2.2 back on my phone. I turned off the lag fix, uninstalled the program, turned off launcher pro and uninstalled it then unrooted my phone and did the upgrade with kies mini... got done installing and rebooted and now my phone is just sitting here going buzz.......buzz.......buzz buzz...... in about 1 minute intervals on an off screen...
**EDIT**
opp got it. I Went into clockwork and reset everything then rebooted and its up. But anywho, has anyone elses phones tried to commit suicide while they were sleeping?
PS- holy crap this phone is really laggy now that i have it all "normal" ... =( strange how use to stuff you get huh...
so should i root first, put on OverStock and then apply voodoo?
First of all, stop caring about quadrant scores. Smartbench is where its at. Quadrant scores are incredibly inaccurate and easy to fool, not to mention heavily pro-htc.
Edit:
Anyways, for your lag problem, try installing a reliable custom rom like bionix-v or trigger, their stock kernels also come preinstalled with voodoo.

Smartbench, i'll remember that. =D Thanks for the heads up so i dont look as stupid in the future ;P
EDIT
Can i get a quick link to those Overstock and Voodoo, says search is disabled try again in a few minutes. I can just flash that rom onto my phone with the vibrant toolbox right?
EDIT again...
I just tried rooting my phone and it saying it failed to install the packages... =P I think between my phone almost cooking to death and not being able to root is why i went back to 2.1..... im using vibrant toolbox.
Overstock is on page one of the android development section. Don't worry so much on a separate link to Voodoo just read the OP's of a rom that you will settle on found also in the android development section. Listed there they will tell if the rom already has Voodoo injected also if it comes activated upon flashing or needing to go to recovery and initiating. Over 3/4 have voodoo in them have fun. I've never used tool box but all of the flashing for me is done through recovery.

[SOLVED] Problems with videogames

I cant play need.for.speed for example and some other games when im using custom roms... Noticed this since my first flash
Now im having the same problem with any GB Rom out there installed from stock fw, clean sd card, etc. I just get kicked from the game, no warning after the opening window/boot screen? Of the game...
Any clue? Stock firmware and os will handle every game like a charm.

ics BAD gaming problem???

Does any body get a problem like this.
on "some/most" games where you need to use 2+ fingers it "sticks" go and download a game called killer bean unleashed https://play.google.com/store/apps/...JCZWFuU3R1ZGlvcy5LaWxsZXJCZWFuVW5sZWFzaGVkIl0. try to play this game without the movement getting stuck on forward , for instance i want to shoot some one when standing still i stop pushing forward button and it sticks running forward. and same for jumping and shooting etc.
all other feature of phone works as it should but just some games.
also games like max payne i cant run proply as will only let me move him forward n backwards, or side to side
IF I SWITCH BACK TO GINGERBREAD WILL THIS STOP I had no problem with games before i flashed global 4.0.4 a while ago.
Anyone answer anything ill hit thanks
I dunno the prob but games like Dead Space, Asphalt 5-6 works well for me. Games like Temple Run had some 'touch' problem on 4.0.3 but got fixed on 4.0.4. I don't have those games u mentioned, so can't try 'em. By the way, I'm on stock 4.0.4

New Firmware Slow?

Hello Guy's,
around a month ago i got a new Galaxy S3 at work (A1 (Vodafon) Branded).
I was so satisfied with the device that a bought a new unbranded phone for personal Use at amazon.de
My Private Phone has the latest software builde on it i9300xxblg8.
But by far it doesnt run as smooth as the work Phone. Scrolling on the homescreen and in the Menu is a little laggy.
Is this a Software fault or could anything on the Phone be defective?
Any Ideas on this ?
regards
Stefan
LG8 is not slow /laggy , Try a factory reset ,
Try reflashing the firmware ..
Wait for JellyBean update within the next two months .
jje
ive noticed a tiny bit of lag flicking through the app drawer but overall its a pretty good firmware.
Like above.. try a factory reset and check what background tasks are running.
Jelly Bean will be here soon and it should improve performance dramatically if the Galaxy Nexus is anything to go by Hopefully Samsung dont bog it down too much.

Vice City Experiences

I bought it earlier today on Play Store (just finally released).
Freezes on AOKP JB with KK kernel.
I'm thinking of going back to a straight CM9 backup I have.

Try ditching the kernel first and use the one that came with the JB rom- Also be sure you have at least 200mb free ram upon launching. Most high end games eat RAM for breakfast.

Good thought. I have a backup of CM9 and AOKP(JB) both with stock kernels. I'll try those out.
EDIT: I've tried a backup of stock kernel AOKP JB, straight CM9, and even Sammy's stock ICS straight out of Kies. All of them freeze after some seconds of playing.
I'll just have to wait for xmas when I get my N7.
Thanks for starting this thread. Really looked forward to this awesome 80s game only to have alot of freezes myself. On the lateset JellyBeer(jb) ROM. Question, any ICS ROM users have this game and getting fluid results?
At&t note i717
Paranoid Android 2.54 cm10 quincyatt
Vice city 1.0
Runs fine. Freezes about 10 seconds after driving a vehicle!?!?
Vice city 1.01/ 1.02
Black screen when I start app.
What's up with these freezes? Is it cm10? Should I stop being cheap and purchase the app?
Anybody else having this problem?

Well there's no reason to buy it right now as it just doesn't work. I bought it though. I'll be able to play it on my N7 with no problem.
If you read my previous post... it's not CM10. I tried it on CM9 and stock ICS also. All froze.

Are you f*cking kidding me?? You have to run this game on GB for it to work? That's absolutely repulsive.
hoping they update or someone figures out a way to run it on here cuz i also paid for it!!!!!!!!!!
edit.....i can run around on foot forever but as soon as i drive it locks up......
They just released 1.03
Using 1.03
With the data (main.11....obb) for 1.01 its a black screen
Using 1.03
With the data (main.7....obb) for 1.0 it says xapk validation error
I used "lucky patcher" to fix the xapk validation error
Now its a black screen when I start the app
-----------+
Only thing that works is 1.0 with 1.0 data.
Game freezes when driving for 5-10 seconds.
Ahhhhh...
was aentsrn
i dont know if anyone else noticed but you can also run around on a scooter with no problem, but the second you jump into a car the game freezes...i'm playing on a rooted i717 with cyanogenmod 10 JB if that matters. Funny that a game called grand theft auto stops working when you steal a car...maybe this game was made by the 5-o?
Yeah I can verify that 1.03 still crashes as soon as I get in a car. Walk around on foot forever.

When I find 1.03 it only has the 1.01 data paired with it. Guess we gotta be patient
I bought it the day it was released for the second time. It has always hung when I try to drive a car bike or scooter on any update , even the new one that came out today. This has been on stock ICS rooted.
*edit* On aosp XXX JB ROM still crashes when your drive.
hard to belive its been a month and no one can still run this game it sucks......

Interesting, it freezes on scooter too. Any vehicle really, I suppose. And if you try to play hte whole game on foot, it won't work as it always freezes during mission 3.
