Has Anyone Else Tried Angry Birds Space?

Yes, indeed, I have played Angry Birds Space. I tried it on my rooted Sprint HTC Hero and it actually runs, albeit, in a fairly choppy way. Of course, I tried it on a stock ROM with no overclocking. I may flash over to CyanogenMod 7.2 Release Candidate 1 and give it a try again. It took well over a minute to load initially too. Frankly, I am just amazed that it runs at all. :)

I wonder if updating the OpenGL ES drivers and tweaking the build.prop file would net any additional frames per second. It is worth a shot. Angry Birds Space is not even compatible with my wife's third generation Apple iPod Touch. That is pretty sad. :D
 
If you do try it, be sure to overclock your CPU as high as you safely can. Additionally, you should turn your handset on Airplane Mode so that those pesky ads are not loading and wasting precious CPU cycles.

I still need to see if updating the OpenGL ES drivers and editing the build.prop nets the game any more frames per second. I will try that at some point this weekend.

Yeah, that plus I have the Firerats mod installed. I'm at 48 MB free, which means I'll need to clear around 10 MB to keep from going over the 90% cap. There are several apps I could delete, but they are all the ones that take up little space, so I'd have to remove 10-15 of them to get there.

Did you ever get it to run smoothly on your Hero?
