I don't think anyone with a phone running 2.x can run games. I have an HTC One or whatever (4 years old; got it from a friend) and I could never ever imagine playing a game on it. Even the home screen lags!
- CalRobert 12y agoI just played through Swordigo on a Galaxy S (the first one!) and it ran very smoothly. I am, it may be worth noting, using Cyanogenmod 11 nightlies.
- redDragon 12y agoOh you will be surprised: Not every game requires higher Android version, they are mostly satisfied with c++, http://imgur.com/iX4dcL5 http://imgur.com/iX4dcL5 Card Games: Gingerbread (14%)
- dagw 12y agoI've got an old cheap 4 year old Acer phone running 2.3 as a backup phone and it plays lots of games fine. Sure not games using a lot of 3d graphics or games which require very precise timing, but it plays lots of other games.
- speeder 12y agoI own a Xperia Play, that don't support anything after 2.3, and I have lots of gaming here, including shooters, platformers and racing
- pjmlp 12y agoIf you code in C++, which most games do, the Android version is not that important, given the little exposure of Android APIs to the NDK. Everything that matters, besides the existing graphics, sensors and audio APIs, can be built with standard C++ libraries.
- tormeh 12y agoThe problem lies with the hardware, I think. Truly, there's never a smooth moment with my phone. Sometimes it hangs for a minute. Random shutdowns and similar bugs in software as well.
