1st android game

At the beginning of its appearance, games such as Angry Bird, Fruit Ninja and Cut The Rope were enough to make Android smartphone sales soar. Seeing this very bright prospect, developers began flocking to spawn versions of their games that run on the Android OS. At a minimum, they are porting the games they already offer to other platforms to run on the Android operating system.

The following tips can help decide which games are compatible with all Android smartphones.

Get to know the Specifications

SoC Base & Manufacturing

As a user, of course, you must know the technical specifications of the Android Smartphone you are using, such as CPU, GPU, RAM capacity and internal ROM. This is very mandatory, especially in determining games and applications that are compatible with your smartphone.

Currently, there are quite a lot of SoC (Processor for Smartphone) players on the market. From Qualcomm, Nvidia, Samsung and also several domestic brands made of bamboo curtains. The use of SoCs made by well-known brands usually does affect the selling price to end-users, one of which is because of its high compatibility with games and applications. Take for example, most tablets made by Chinese vendors use MIPS-based SoCs which at the beginning of time, often did not support games and applications available on the Google Play Store (formerly google market) so they would not appear when you search for the game or application in question.

Usually, if you often install offline, you need two files, first Installer.apk and data.apk. Especially for the “data.apk” file, don’t forget to choose the one that matches the GPU on your Android device. If not, get ready the game will force close.

Resolution & DPI

If you have experienced a game that has been installed but when it is run it only displays white objects or even only sounds are heard, this is one of them caused by the incompatibility of the game data apk that you downloaded with your android screen specifications. It can be from an inappropriate resolution or an inappropriate “dpi” density. This often happens in HD type games that are installed offline and in fact bring more complicated image object details. To overcome this, of course you have to choose the source before downloading, look for the one that fits your Android resolution.

Regional

Some HD games have different files for each region. Generally divided into two namely, NA (North America) and ROW (Rest Of World). Do not let you choose the wrong file that is distinguished by this region, because it will result in FC (Force Close) games.
