^ Welcome to HTC's latest releases. Though tbh the problem lies with Qualcomm if you've followed the whole saga from the Kaiser's time. There are efforts to develop drivers in this Blackstone thread as the chipsets on HTC Diamond/Raphael/Blackstone/Kovsky are all very similar. Please, please contribute here if you are a developer or have any background in such things:

Though i have been unable to get any Sega or Nintendo emulator to work god... but ScummVM games are working without any glitch (but then my iPhone played those great too)... and then there are other games too that are great at playback and quality.

Tomb Raider probably doesn't speak well for the device, but if you try other games such as Syberia - they work simply awsome! No lag during videos in the game and slowdowns, etc.

I do however agree that the true potential of gaming on Xperia is yet to be discovered.
[XPERIA X1 General] Alex Atkin UK:
Yeah I had suspected that was the case when GLBenchmark refuses to run any 3D benchmarks for me, plus the poor results from the people who did get it to work.

Its one of those unfortunate things I only found out about AFTER I bought my X1 and was left wondering if it was true or not, because nobody seems to mention it in the X1 forum.

However, I bought my X1 as a phone, calendar/alarm and web browser when out and about. To be fair, it does all those things pretty well and even plays music at very good quality so I no longer have to take my MP3 player around with me. I was also pleased at the camera quality considering it had already been said its below-par for a Sony Ericcson phone. It works better in low light than my Canon S3 IS so long as I can keep it steady long enough for the slow software to do its stuff.

Keeping on subject though, why do they keep insisting on putting crap digital pads on phones/PDAs? I would be more inclined to play games on it if it had a DS style D-Pad or something. These weird shaped ones just don't work especially as there are never buttons in a good enough place either. I couldn't be bothered playing Tomb Raider on my Wizard because the buttons were too uncomfortable/unreliable to avoid dying.

The irony is Nokia got it right, they were just a little too early and a little too clunky to gain the popularity they needed. But the X1 like many others totally could have delivered, but then of course Sony don't want to be competing with the PSP so limiting the controls and 3D support could very well be deliberate.

ScummVM should be brilliant if supporting the resolution. I have tried it on various portables and never found it worked very well, not always because of slowdown but because there was never enough pixels on the screen to fit everything you need. In general ScummVM games do not push the graphics hard so the X1 should indeed be fine. Its just annoying that I, like many others, read that the X1 had 3D acceleration so were excited at this prospect. Only to be disappointed to find its locked down.

Ah well, Android and Linux in general should change everything, eventually. It puts the power back in the end-users hands where it belongs so that if they fail to deliver drivers some clever open-source hackers will figure it out. Its just a bit pathetic that ATI/AMD are so pro open-source on PC but we get locked out on mobiles presumably because Qualcomm are greedy SOBs.
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Hmmm... Xperia has a good 3d chip + hardware acceleration, but alas! few games realize the potential yet. Hopefully we'll see more soon.
[XPERIA X1 General] Alex Atkin UK:
But is anyone even using the modified 3D accelerated driver on their X1? Is it stable if they are?

I would expect to find it mentioned in the performance thread if it was working.
[XPERIA X1 General] Nocturnal310:
Really pathetic...

my W800i had tennis, 3D racing, and black hawk down like games and all freely available.

but for Xperia..none of those kinda games
[XPERIA X1 General] emwdava:
Where can I find Tomb raider?
[XPERIA X1 General] nurps:
Is there a nice Columns clone that works with the X1s resolution?
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Ummm... well don't know about Tennis, but you have GT Racing for Xperia and Snow Rally City Stage 1.1.

Will post info on more games on my blog later tonight.
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
The following great JAVA based games are available by Gameloft:

Zombie Infection

Ferrari GT: Evolution

CSI: NY™

Gangstar 2: Kings of L.A.

Prince of Persia

Abracadaball (An AWESOME game)

Block Breaker Deluxe

Brain Challenge Vol. 2: Stress Management

Bubble Bash (Another great one)

CSI: Miami

Million Dollar Poker feat. Gus Hansen

New York Nights 2: Friends for Life (All SIMS lovers should check this one out, i personally like it more! :))

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
[XPERIA X1 General] Ben daniel:
There are a couple of good games out there that use the X1's hardware very nicely;

Tony hawks Pro Skater 2 (Full screen, full speed - hardware accelerated)

Call of duty 2 (VGA Resolution, full speed - Hardware accelerated)

If you like racing Geo-rally 2005 works nice in VGA but doesn't use the hardware acceleration. I don't think anyones managed to get the 3D accelerated version (GeoRall EX) run yet.
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Added new list of games here....

[XPERIA X1 General] contaygious:
i'm loving bookworm and runs great fullscreen. atomic cannon and archibald's adventure are good but our puny x1 can't even scroll smoothly perhaps due to upscaling graphics :(
[XPERIA X1 General] jkr284:
The games on the windows mobile platform are laughable, there never seems to be any new games, yet look at apple, theres are all way better already, im so tempted to switch to iphone infact i would if i wasnt tied to the 3 uk network
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Seriously? Atomic cannon works perfectly on my X1. Haven't played Archibald's Adventure much so cant' say about that one.
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
That... is true! I wish Microsoft would support Windows Mobile on XNA studio, for that would open doors to much more and better games for the platform. Well... i also wish for a Million Dollars! :D

I actually do have an iPhone. Got it when it was first launched and have been using it ever since. But since i got my Xperia, there are only two things i think the iPhone is better at; 1. Games (of-course). 2. IPOD. (i love the album flow and all and have yet to see any similar functionality on Windows Mobile).

Yes - I do know about Slide2Play and FlipSlide but both are way below iPod's speed and smoothness.

Fortunately for me... i got to keep my iPhone... so with my xperia, i'm keeping the iPhone as an iPod with tons of games installed. :D
[XPERIA X1 General] otmale:
morphgear

tried out this and it works great for gbc, nes, and even some snes games, has loads of settings so you can treak to get decent frame rates and also does full screen and you can asign keys from the keybord to any of the nintendo/ buttons. awesome if you ask me!
[XPERIA X1 General] contaygious:
Really? When you scroll around the screen using the little minimap thing does yours kinda stutter or is it silky smooth? I benchmarked mine and it is wicked fast so I dunno what the deal is ( I have the demo so far).
[XPERIA X1 General] skycamefalling:
You are right, Atomic Cannon does not scroll smoothly. But you can change the landscape detail level to make it run well.
[XPERIA X1 General] contaygious:
Thanks I'll try that, just seems funny with how powerfuly our x1 is to not be able to run a game in full detail no?
[XPERIA X1 General] skycamefalling:
Power is nothing without control :p

The graphics driver and the game seem to communicate unefficiently or they hardly understand each other. So the hardware acceleration doesn't seem to work in this game. If it simply were just about the hardware power then I think the X1 should have no problem with Atomic Cannon.
[XPERIA X1 General] contaygious:
Ah, good point! Oh well, I can barely read or understand the weapons in atomic cannon anyway! Text in these games is so small on our screen's resolution lol.
[XPERIA X1 General] dawongster:
monopoly...?

the link you have for monopoly doesn't show it as windows mobile capable. are you sure it can run on the xperia? if so, are there any special ways of installing it? as it shows 800mhz minimum required.
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Thanks for pointing that out... i'll update the link at the blog.

You can purchase it here: http://store.handmark.com/p/2755/MONOPOLY-Here-and-Now-for-Windows-Mobile-Pocket-PC/-?src=sc
[XPERIA X1 General] dawongster:
sorry, it doesn't show that its playable on the x1. is it due to resolution size, if so do i need to install the wvga fix so it actually plays on it? do u actually have it on ur own x1? apologies, i really want this game and im tired of asking my brother to borrow his iphone to play it. sorta getting jealous...
[XPERIA X1 General] Dandie:
So, what games with 3D acceleration support, except Tony Hawk Pro scater, do we have for the X1?
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Yes... i'm playing it on my X1... full screen... no problems at all.

I'll make a post on my blog later today with screenshots especially for you... :)

So keep a lookout at http://xperiancer.blogspot.com
[XPERIA X1 General] muteki99:
There is a 3d version of Project Gotham Racing that works great on my X1. Looks really nice.
[XPERIA X1 General] XavierGr:
That is one of the worst emulators I have tried performance wise. Hell even without 3D Acceleration I expect that GameBoy can run at full with sound. I got only 11 fps with Super Mario Land, are they kidding us? Preposterous, and they want money for this ****! I've seen a GB emulator running on ~120MHz Coldfire CPU (iRiver H140 with Rockbox) very decently with sound, I don't understrand how an XPERIA with 528 MHz ARM CPU can't handle this. It's a joke.
[XPERIA X1 General] dadeadman:
is there any gba emulator that works well on the X1?
[XPERIA X1 General] anath:
Yes pocketgba works very well, it doesn't use the whole screen but is playable.
[XPERIA X1 General] htainlin:
There is a game called Xtrakt. The best 3D game ever experienced on a PDA. Don't remember the post link anymore but you can google it. It extracted from Xperia R3A rom. I would love to see most of those kinds.
[XPERIA X1 General] Sapa13:
Maybe off topic question, but anyone knows how to extract that song from bejeweled? It s catchy :)
[XPERIA X1 General] SomeoneSimple:
I fully agree. I had GBA games running just fine on my SE M600i which sports an incredible 200mhz ARM9 SoC which is obviously ALOT faster then our 528Mhz ARM11 SoC with ATI Imageon DSP ! ! (phun intended) While GBA (vBax, paid software) weren't 30fps without frameskipping, SEGA Genesis games (Picodrive, Open Source) where working on 100% speed (with optimizations, not frameskip).

No really, the developers asking money for their incredible ridiculously slow emulators are simply out of their mind. Not saying this is all their fault, since WM has some major issues considering their ancient, badly supported compilers. :mad:

However on the other hand, look at OpenTTD on the Xperia, thats the way how is should be done.
[XPERIA X1 General] Chaosstorm:
Well my p990i ( same as that m600i) could aslo do picodrive/nes etc on full speed. But this arm11 qualcomm chip is slow in doing graphics and when the gpu/dsp do work also you get great games like ""Xtrakt" but thats so far the only 3d game that works good on xperia :confused:

IF SOME ONE makes a GAPI driver for xperia's gpu/dsp we get WAY better performance!

What is this?
[General Topics] dreamspace986:
I will did it imei repaired but i can't restore "serial number" and lost google device certificate :(

View attachment 6033933View attachment 6033934
[General Topics] TechySkills:
I too had lost the serial number and i think there is no way of restoring it.

I found out it had no impact on my phone with or without serial number, so I just left it as it is.

For the Device Certification, Install Magisk Delta Stable version, copy boot.img from stock rom to phone, patch the boot.img, and transfer patched version to pc, install it using these commands.

ROOT:

adb devices

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot flash boot "C:\adb\magisk_patched-26100_Rl0z0.img"

fastboot reboot

Use vbmeta.img from the stock rom.

After rooting phone, open magisk delta, it would likely tell you it needs to restart. Restart

Enable zygisk, and enable bootloop protection and then reboot.

After that select Google play services, play store, web view services, and bank apps if u have, and go back. After that install shamiko the 2nd latest version. the latest verison is not supported by magisk 26.1 it supports magisk 26.3

Install Shamiko and reboot.

Open adb cmd and then type this command:

command 1: adb root

command 2: adb shell 'sqlite3 /data/*/*/*/gservices.db \ "select * from main where name = \"android_id\";"'

and paste the id (not the letter just ID) on this website: https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/

After that log in from the same account you registered the account on that website. And then clear cache and data of play store and google play services.

Restart 5-6 times and check again. If still not working.

Install this module:

GitHub - chiteroman/PlayIntegrityFix: Fix Play Integrity (and SafetyNet) verdicts.

Fix Play Integrity (and SafetyNet) verdicts. Contribute to chiteroman/PlayIntegrityFix development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

Flash this in Magisk and reboot. After rebooting again clear cache and data of play store and google play services. Reboot 5-6 times and check again. It should hopefully work.

Update me with any new details.

Thanks,

Regards
[General Topics] dreamspace986:
Really? I just want to recover my "serial" number. Even if it's root, it's okay. I don't care about Google certification. I've been searching for days and can't find it.
[General Topics] TechySkills:
I think it might be related to proinfo, tho, Get a working phone with a serial number or try meta mode combined with SN tool and see if it works.. :/
[General Topics] dreamspace986:
The proinfo method actually makes a lot of sense. Someone on YouTube applied it to old HTC phone. If the serial numbers of the Infinix'es are gone, we can be infinitely sad. I really loved this phone. I bought it from a Turkish soldier. I wish I hadn't used the sp flash tool. IMEI can be recovered but not the serial number. That's interesting. A bad experience.
[General Topics] dreamspace986:
Ladies and Gentleman. I got it! I finally recovered serial number from Tecno Spark 7's proinfo.bin file. Using HxD binary editor and rewrite by box serial barcode number and yeah. I'm really happy. Welcome back my home Infinix Note 7! Thanks for proinfo idea. God bless you.
[General Topics] dreamspace986:
And Google device certification fixed! Yessss.
[General Topics] TechySkills:
same brother i loved it so much. it was a unique one with more ram tho. also i tried a custom proinfo made by me with a random serial number for this phone, i flashed it but it entered: "test factory mode" i think it meant when it was in factory and if ppl wanted to buy it so they could check it. no sims worked in that mode. so i just reflashed "empty" proinfo... and it worked again 🤔 anyway, if you find a person who is willing to give his working proinfo for x690b. i would love to get it too. thanks. also there is a problem with infinix phones... most of the users are not into this stuff so we have less support on these matters. :/
[General Topics] TechySkills:
What did you not understand dear?
[General Topics] TechySkills:
The f..... I didn't even see this message for an entire year!!! WHAAAA

Anyways... I bought a dump of Infinix Note 7, and uh... Got the official proinfo.img of a safe phone... and successfully fixed my SN lmao.. (if i had known you had fixed it, I would've asked the proinfo from you lmao....) Anyway, I came back here to update you.. but I saw this... lol

Anyway the official proinfo.img is attached. You just have to go to HxD and edit the line on the top and done!! easy peasy...

I am also working on like upgrading the Kernel of Infinix Note 7, So that it supports Android 14 QPR2 and A15 and so on... (since Google left support for Kernel 4.14.141+ this year, Its no longer working)

Wish me good luck :/
[General Topics] Kagu4:
Hello thanks for providing the image, please can you tell me where i can find the on the box ?
[General Topics] TechySkills:
Oh haha, I also tried searching it on Box... But its not written on the Box. Its at the battery.

Open the back cover of the Infinix X690b, using a cutter to lift it slightly, maybe use a hot blower to soften the gum and then use an XRAY sheet to like slowly take the cover off, then the battery will be exposed. If you look carefully there will be a QR code on the bottom left, That is the serial number of the phone. :) Write it somewhere and flash as described in the Manual. :)
[General Topics] Kagu4:
Complete thanks to this brother right here, I was having several issues with my infinix x690B, the IMIE and Serial number and more, since i was using a gsi i had an issue with performance and the sim cards and the play integrity ..., the phone was unsaveable, but thanks to god who guided me to this guy right here, he solved every damn issue i had, real thanks my brother and I wish you the best.;):D❤️

There is a throttling mod on the forum that worked wonders for me, but it's a magisk mod with a edit on a system file, so unless you could replace the system file, you would need root for this to work. I just thought I'd mention, since the difference is night and day, and that's one of the exact issues I was having without it.

Are you using Auto-brightness or manual? Auto-brightness gives you a max brightness in the sun compared to the manual max brightness.

Googles HbmSVManager will automatically enable HBM (High brightness mode), when automatic brightness is enabled and the light sensor reaches a specific lux threshold.

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] kaskander:
Hello, I've had the oneplus 8T for 2.5 years now. For a week now I have rooted it again, after 2 years ago. So I did a backup until today with the oneplus app. And I manually uploaded it to the cloud.

So I'm looking for an app that can backup apps, data, SMS, call logs, contacts, settings and the layout of folders on the phone's desktop. And of course the application can upload the backup to the cloud. To be able to have the scheduling option.

I did some research on my own and discovered the Following, but I need your help.

Swift Backup:

Backup apps, data, call logs, contacts, sms.

Stores the backup in the storage and in the cloud.

I also discovered Neobackup, Titanium Backup and Backup rom. Can you write me what are the differences between them? Because I haven't understood...

I read somewhere that Neobackup is the best but it does not backup call logs, sms, contacts. And it doesn't upload to the cloud either.

Note, the comments I read about swift, it was 2022. So I want answers with the latest versions of these apps.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] kevinco1:
Swift Backup is the best overall
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Rootk1t:
kaskander​

TWRP/OrangeFox backups whole device partitions (like /system or /data) with everything inside them.

By restoring this backup you can revert your whole device (android version and your data) to the state on the time of backup.

Apps like swift, titanium, neo backup, backup your apps and their settings, also you can try to backup system apps settings to restore layout of folders (lancher app settings backup).

Titanium backup was once a gold standard of android backup apps, but as it is not being developed since 2019, it can't handle split apks and doesn't work very well with the latest android versions. So it can still be used, but not recommended.

Swift backup works well with the latest android versions, you can choose to backup your apps and data locally or on google drive or something similar. If you backup your apps in the cloud you can easily access those backups from another phone and restore them.

Backup files are encrypted too and app is proprietary one.

Neo-backup, as far as i understool does everything as Swift backup, and is open sourced.
