Why would they not? The dual core is just as good in performance and sometimes better
not sure about the GPU differences

because the US/CA are getting the S4 variant, the list of not working games on the ATT/Roger HOX is a good list to look at. bummed that ME Infiltrator won't work on it. i love Mass Effect and would've bought that game day1.

I got my new SGS3 yesterday but most of the games listed here are not compatible with SGS3. Only Shadowgun and GTA3 is compatible and working great so far. Can anyone suggest that how this guy in the video is using these games on SGS3?

I think I remember reading that people have extracted the APKs from their old
Phones and transferred them manually to the S3. Don't think you'll be able to install from play store until the games are updated as being compatible for the S3

MassEffect is playable but cracked sound as well..

Asphalt 7 looks like console graphics
In India they showed game play for 15 secs

Ultimate Galaxy Note II Showcase

Hello my friends, I hope you're loving your note II as much as I am!
I just wanted to share this with you.
It's just a show case of the galaxy note II performing a whole bunch of PC-like stuff outputted to HDMI (but it sure aint your normal video).
Being the XDA people you are, you guys probably are aware of most of the content, but I'm sure you'll get a kick out of it!
Cheers.

It's Just Go launcher with a bunch of widgets, I've got tutorials on my channel, the app select feature is an app called "Relaunch" and the file browser is simply called "Computer"
Hope that helps.

Awesome video, I love the way it starts - back in the day I remember when I got my first Palm Pilot, and someone told me it had more computing power than the first Lunar module....we've come a long way, and there's still more, I'll bet! Liked, subscribed and shared

As much as I enjoyed seeing this vid again, the professionalism with which it is delivered is at odds with displaying a pirated copy of Misfits. :/ sorry to be fussy but please take it as a compliment if your video was amateur you'd expect inappropriate things like that. Of cause if I'm mistaken I apologise but considering the season ended in December and your vid was posted November I don't think I'm out of line.

These are the first 3 serious fine digital paintings I did with my Note II using Autodesk Sketchbook Pro and the S Pen. This is taking advantage of the S Pen's Wacom digitizer system with 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity. It just means you can control lines or brush thicknesses on the fly.
Does anyone else do this with their device?

Hey, mate. First of all, congratulations for your drawings, amazing quality! But I need to ask you, what did you do to install Sketchbook Pro on your Note II? When I try to do so on Google play, it says that its only available for tablets.

It should be able to install. There is a tablet version and that would not show up in the Note as option. Have you tried to install Sketchbook Express (free)? That should work as well as the pro. I previously installed them on the first Galaxy Note.
Thanks, but I'm still warming up. I have chosen my bench mark artists to top. Here's one:

Can you do that if you are not rooted and if so how?

This is really amazing man! I haven't seen anything like this for the note 2 yet I look forward to your future posting in this thread of your art you made on the note 2.

Tried it (to change the LCD density) but I couldn't install it from google play, the app doesn't show even if i search for it. On the other hand, I really liked the screen with the new density! Too bad I had to change the launcher (feels off, just like the camera) and the alarm app (the native one gave me a force close). But what really annoys me is the size of the s pen pointer (while hovering above the screen). Is there any way to increase the radius of the spen pointer?

Crazy good! I could never do that... very impressed!

Nice Job
Nice Job...

This is one thing that I'll like to do.

You'll need a BT keyboard, because there's no way to open up the virtual keyboard when you get to the login window, and unfortunately you can't go fullscreen since the applet is fit to the size of the window. So you're stuck with the bar at the top.

Jumping into the game seems to give you a black screen as of right now...
... but going into settings and manually tinkering with it I GOT THE GAME TO LOAD!!!!! It takes three and a half years (not even exaggerating that bad, literally took half an hour), but it works!
Basically, just tap the gear at the top right and set it to low, then refresh if you need to. Try not to scroll if you can help it. Then start up the game!
Once you can see everything on the ground, the game's still not done loading. Give it some more time and THE SKY APPEARS!!! (...along with a subscribe button)
Aaaand a couple years later, your character will finally appear.
Be careful taking screenshots, this is super intensive on the hardware so it'll lag really, really, really bad. The audio will snip and your screen will flash like 80 times.
The FPS is terrible if you were wondering.
Here's a video.

Haha :laugh:
I stopped playing that a long time ago - here are a few screenshots that I have

Supposedly it runs poorly on PCs too. The game itself is still beta and hasn't been optimized yet.
I'm not even sure Chrome will utilize the GPU, so maybe forcing GPU rendering in Dev options will help.
Sent from Nexus 7 FHD from XDA Premium HD

That probably wouldn't help since it's a 3D game, right?

I stopped playing this a couple years ago but its quite neat that it actually loads in Chrome.

Are you thinking about starting again or something? :angel: I quit in 2007 and gave away $200m in items and cash to my best friends in the game. Then a few years later I gave my character away to one of my best friends in real life who plays occasionally.
I attached a few of my fave screenshots I made back then.

Oh Runescape....

I never really got into Runescape for some reason. A friend of mine did give me a level 30 something to play with and it was fun but nothing really grabbed me. Of course I wasn't attached to my character like I would have if I kept up with my original character.

Unleash the True Gaming Power of the Nexus 9 !

Our device is super new, that some games couldn't recognize our powerful Tegra K1 and only gives us low quality option for graphics.
Here is the solution(Requires root)!! This method will trick the game that we're using another CPU & GPU, so it will give us more options!! Most important is, this will only fool the game with fake hardware info, but it won't effect the performance, so the TRUE TEGRA K1 IS UNLEASHED
I'll take Asphalt 8 for an example.
1. Install GLTools
(Paid app, please support the dev!!)Play Store Link
(Free XDA version, has all the functions)XDA Version
2. Open the app, choose TEX(DE)coder, check the boxes and press install.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. After installing the plugin, the device will reboot automatically.
4. Re-open the app, choose the game you wanted to modify, I'll take Asphalt 8 as an example.
5. Check "Enable custom settings for this app" in General section.
6. Switch to GPU name/emulation section, check both "Use fake GPU info", "Use fake CPU info".
7. Choose "Use a template", here I'll choose Tegra 4, since the chip is also manufactured by Nvidia. Test yourself which one best fits the game!!
8. Profit !!
Before:
After:
Hope everyone has a delightful gaming experience!!

I tried asphalt 8 and it already has high in visual quality. Maybe you are using a warez version of asphalt 8?

Isn't Asphalt 8 free in the playstore? Also I can only run only with medium settings max on my nexus 9 so i'm not sure about why you can access high visual quality in the first place.

would this make Trine 2 run on the nexus 9

I can't get this to work with Real Racing 3. To bad, because the resolution on that game sucks right now.

This is what I get during the menu. Look at the edges of the Maclaren P1 especially on the black/white borders. Also it's more apparent during play, because the pixels will dance around. You say you get smooth transitions on these edges?
I still play the game, but I hoped it would be better on the Nexus 9.

The game isn't running our native resolution. As a matter of fact, most games are not.

just get the graphics app
Download "real racing 3 graphics" app it lets you set any quality setting to get max gfx

That works. Thanks!
edit: Well it does improve the graphics, but not the resolution
