I think it is high time I contributed to this forum. Thanks to your development and support I have a flawless experience with the X1 and with WinMo in general. Here is something I hope will save you some time searching.
It is a list of all the WORKING games I have tried on my Xperia. Unfortunatelly I have kept the names of the games, but I don't have the names of the manufacturers. This is a small issues though, because a simple google search with the game and a word like "ppc" or "Windows Mobile" will reveal them to you. If I get some free time, I might do it myself and post links to the sites.
Most of those games don't run in the full X1 resolution, but the WVGAFIX3 takes care of that nicely, if you are irritated by the missing space in the window:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442426
I repeat that all of those games are tested and work on my X1. Unfortunately I haven't started this list from the beggining so there are games that work, but are not here, because I don't remember them lol .
There are no java games listed. There are so many java games that there is no point .
There are no emulators listed except Morphgear, because not even one of them comes close to its performance.
EDIT: Games with "WVGA" next to them can be played in fullscreen. No black/missing bar unless it's part of the game!!!

multiplayer games
I would like to make a suggestion. We should make a category of multiplayer games, for me the most interesting type of gaming. So far I know for only 2 of those from MyTopia package.
BTW. great initiative to make this list.

Thank you. The only game from that list, that I know for sure has a direct (handset to handset) multiplayer is "Bluetooth Chess".
For online multiplay, I can point out SPB Online.
I must admit that I never looked for multiplayer capacity in the games, so there could be others as well.
Could you list the games that can be played in WVGA res as well?

One thing, all the items are damn small. It makes hard to recognize the items. I still prefer Warfare as strategy game. Even it is 320x320 resolution. I hope that this game can be played on a full wvga screen.

Much appreciated. Will test later/tomorrow and add.
EDIT: Actually I will not add them, because they are java games. There are so many java games out there that a list will be pointless. No point of mixing them with the other games either.

MAW WVGA patch
http://www.isotope244.com/help.html#faq147
I tried the patch - the game loads full screen but couldn't even start it because it doesn't properly respond to taps, that is, I try to tap somewhere but the tap is registered in another spot, so I can't control the game.
And, following advice in the next FAQ, I can't properly navigate with the directional pad either. My device's default display is landscape.
It works fine here . What ROM are you using?

Um, the original 5.1. It ain't possible to upgrade ROM on Sharp devices
I'm having similar problems with Travel Genius and quite a few other games that are supposed to work on WVGA devices.
i had Ferrari GT Evolution HD working full touchscreen on my X1. but removed after awhile cos gameplay isnt smooth.
and also Cops L.A Police, Sonic Unleashed and Golf the Open.

Am I the only one that hates how when you go into 'apps' it shows you games? What's the point of having a separate category for games if I can't browse apps without having to wade through the games that dominate the marketplace?

The default video player in the hacked gingerbread roms worked the best for me, but doesn't work here yet.
Mobo player seems to be the preference, but I despise it and have yet to find anything else decent.
Whats so hard about sorting stuff alphabetically or by date? I have no idea wtf it is sorting as.
Then asked which folder has your videos, and you have to actually hit a refresh button for it to find new stuff. And then goes and shows you crap not even in that folder...

I use rockplayer. It was the first one I could find that would play xvid files. I haven't tried any others, but I don't have any complaints about it.
Rockplayer is good for videos. I sideloaded it on my KF.
ES File explorer (in Amazon market) will allow you to navigate the file structure (good for finding anything you download)
Hulu + (in Amazon market) if you have a hulu plus account.
Netflix (in Amazon market) if you have a netflix account.
Pulse is great for news.
Apps I use -
Grocery IQ (my girl and I can share a shopping list, her on a iphone and me on my droid charge and kindle fire), Google Reader (rss reader), Google Listen (podcast listener), Wordfued (so addicted to this scrabble knock-off), DropBox (for moving files to the 'cloud' and between devices and computers)
I have found the following to work great on my stock (un-Rooted) Kindle Fire.
- MX Video Player 1.4b (sideloaded), plays AVI, WMV, Etc. perfectly!
- Go Launcher EX (Amazon Store), Must Have!
- Battery monitor Widget 1.9.9 (sideloaded) - great for see power use
- File Manager (Amazon Store) -
- Express News
- Sense Analog Clock 3.2.3 (sideloaded)
Found many of the apps at androiddev.orkitra.com
Add to the list:
Dropbox
Titanbackup Pro
OTA RootKeeper
Root Explorer
Delete all contacts
I installed (among others):
Opera Mobile (a much faster browser alternative to the stock browser)
Audiogalaxy (allows me to stream my itunes collection to the Fire)
Gemini App Manager (quickly clears cache)
Wiki Encyclopedia
Youtube for Android
TuneIn Radio
Box.net
US Newspapers
Always look at the free app of the day, today was documents to go! I enjoy Cube Runner 3D (free), Netflix, and tubemate (have to sideload, they're not on either market currently) as it can download 1080p youtube videos straight to your device.
airplay is working on the fire tv including mirror mode using AirPlay/DLNA Receiver (PRO)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.waxrain.airplaydmr
I PAID FOR IT and then sideloaded it using root uninstaller on my phone to make a backup
launched app and made no changes to the default settings
it works perfect
note
the bbc iplayer works on my ipad too but you must enable mirror mode before playing a video the video then shows fullscreen
some times you may get audio and a black screen found if I hit home on the fire remote and then select airplay/mirror device again on ipad it plays perfect again
this black screen bug only happens in mirror mode a minor problem(just hit home and start again)
android and apple tv rolled in to one for an extra $4.90
So this is for mirroring your iPhone on the screen through the fire TV or can this mirror an android phone through the fire TV also?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
this is for iPhone/ipad ios airplay to the fire tv
not android screen mirroring
but there are some airplay type apps for music like doubletwist on android that could use this setup to play music/photos etc
but the mirroring is only for ios devices
I like this app. The developer is very responsive if there are any problems. He has fixed 2 seperate issues for me, and usually responds quickly. I had installed this app when I first got my FTV. After a few days I started getting error messages because the app wasnt installed through the Google Play store. I emailed the developer and he fixed that for me within a day.
AirBuddy for Airplay - music
Airbuddy from amazon' android appstore works great for music. Upgraded via inapp purchase - I primarily use it for music only.
How are these apps different than AllCast? I know one can cast an iDevice to your FTV but AllCast can do movies, photos & music right?

Well being able to use your iOS devices and mirror it on your TV can be very handy. (in example show Safari on the TV).
I downloaded (and paid!) the pro version from the app store, extracted the .apk and sidelined the app on the Fire TV. It works, that's really cool!!

Dear,
Our app has been available on Fire TV app store now. In fact, you can directly purchase it there.

I can attest that it works great and installs painlessly from the Amazon FireTV app store. WaxRain has provided great support on the application.
I can attest that this app is awesome. Works flawlessly 99% of time. BTW, jailbreak your ios device and install movie box. Airplay on fire tv is great. MovieBox blows away XBMC in quality and stability.
Do you know if they make a similar app for android phones. I've tried a bunch and none mirror the screen they just send certain things like music and video

based on your experience - thought I would give it a try ...
installed the (lite) version (AirPlay/DLNA Receiver (LITE)) and get this error on the Fire TV screen when I turn on the "Mirroring" option on either my iPad or iPhone
Built-in Firmware Player in your device does not support this format, Error Code: 1-00000002

I'm trying to get the XFiinity apps to work - via AirPlay - I've tried using the builtin service on XBMC but for XFinity it doesn't work either.

Hi,
I use thise http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...plugin-20&creativeASIN=B00L5HQRGS]AirReciever
*notice 180 coins back.
It does pretty much every thing you can mirror your ipad screen and the lag is low enough so you can easely play games such as the walking dead episode 1 & 2.and other action adventure games. (the audio latency is set well below 200ms with no problems using the iPad3) besides Airplay it also supports DMR/DNLB, and if you have a MAC you can use it as a extra screen natively. this can also be done on PC using the bit limited AirParrot. And it's developed for aFTV.
mirroring lag
Does any one know if mirroring is going to be improved? There seems to be a lot of lag for games my kids play. I tried both AirPlay/DLNA Receiver (PRO) and AirReceiver but both lag with sonic transformed, bubble guppies and more

If you go to the app's website, you can download the "AirPinPCSender" app and install it on your Windows box. I have it on my laptop and it works flawlessly to mirror my laptop to FTV
I just purchased both a
Lenovo Pro Yoga 2
and
Macbook Air 13
Trying to decide which I like better.. while the touch screen is cool and being able to use it as a tablet is fun on the Lenovo - I've had enough wireless connectivity issues that it's been frustrating (not sure if it's windows 8.1 or the card in the computer) - but my old HP stays connected flawlessly so I know it's not the wireless.
I rec'd the Air today - so I'll play with that and make my decision. I already bought and apple TV which works well enough, but the AirParrot app can only mirror the image of the PC and leaves a bar around the entire thing - there's some pretty evident lag as well just browsing.
I originally was going to go w/ the Fire TV and just found out about this app you guys are talking about.
So, essentially I can do a Fire TV (and download the app for airplay?) and download the app to make the apple stream to Fire? I can do both Mirror and 2nd screeN?
Thanks!!
Thank you
Thank you for the idea
Anyone know of a way to mirror an android phone on the fire tv without root? I know AllCast beta can, but iirc you need root and I'm trying to to root my work phone.
Hi folks. For those of you who have this app installed could you please let me know how it good it is at Airplaying video clips captured by the IPHONE / IPAD itself? So I'm not referring to online video (such as iplayer / youtube) being sent to the device, instead I'm asking about video's actually taken on the iphone?
I shelled out for AirReceiver app and although it's good for Airplaying photos and web video content, its crap for video clips cpatured from iphone (LOTS of buffering and really slow).
Also a question for WaxRain, if I pourchase the app, how many devices can I install it on? I myself have 3 FireTVs in my house.
Thanks.
