Android for HTC Kovsky is near its stable state, but it still has it's limits. So, here are some games and apps that are currently compatible and usable with your HTC Kovsky. I'll also add some apps that a least start as a reference. Due to WiFi instability on NAND ROMs, I will link the app to it's APK instead of Google Play.

Red - At Least Starts; Major Issues

Launchers:
ADW.Launcher - Stock Launcher
XPERIA Home - XPERIA Home Launcher (Requires Android 2.3+ Gingerbread)
Holo Launcher - Lightweight ICS Themed Launcher
Launcher Pro - Simple but Fast Launcher
Zeam Launcher - Lightweight Launcher
Nemus Launcher - Lightweight Launcher

Web Browsers:
Opera Mini - Minimal but Fast Web Browser
UC Browser - Multi-Lingual Web Browser

Games:

SNesoid - Super Nintendo Entertainment System Emulator

I will actively modify this post. If you're using an Android app that works with the HTC Kovsky, post it here! Hope you found something useful here. :)
NOTE: Most basic tools will work properly. Games such as Angry Birds will not run at all.

I didn't test it yet so I'm not really sure if it'll run or not. (Because it's a paid game.) It didn't look like it would though.

Hello and firstly thank you for your efforts. I have an X1 laying around and I was wondering what android rom you have now that is so functional to support all those games and apps. I'm thinking of tinkering again with my old device...
