Game Lag - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

With all the kerenel and rom releases this place is buzzing but what good is all this speed if games lag?
Can someone explain why emulators/games i.e skyforce lag when I touch the screen. Will kernel solve this problem or does the problem lie elsewhere?

VillainROM 6 doesn't appear to have game lag, like most new kernel ROMs. Give it a try

I kinda doubt that, all the vanilla/sense roms do.
Please if you dont mind, can you download sky force demo or try a demo on VR6 .

I just spoke to a few of our users on IRC. They are certain it's done. I will try Sky Force too. I would video it, but the only camera I have handy is one of these high-def compacts, and there's no way I'm uploading 720p HD video to show a game. No webcams handy either

doodle jump got updated today to 1.5.1, and it works guys!
Doodle Jump v1.5.1 works ! but bad performance ?
It works, but lags abit. The original and space theme is ok though, very nice update, i love the space theme.
Hope they will do something about the lag in the other two themes.
Great game, recommend it to everyone

[Q] Getting angry birds to work on Froyo FRX06

I was wondering how to make angry birds work on the android froyo FRX06 on TP2, as in I couldn't install it from the marketplace, is there any other way?
There is a version in a tiad thread I think on ppcgeeks that worked pk on our phones. It was modded somehow. Search over there and you should be able to find it. I have not tested it on the current builds however.

It wasn't modded, it was just the 'Lite' version.
If you find a 'Lite' version of the APK, use it.
I still don't understand the fascination with this game... I played the 'Rio' version, it's really quite boring...
I downloaded the standard version from the marketplace and it worked fine? :|
Really? The standard version worked fine? What version of Android/kernel are you running?

It's just a fun time killer I guess, for when I have to wait in an elevator or something and have nothing productive to do... I have a friend who has 3 stars on almost every level... how he isn't bored, I will never know.

Perhaps your definition of 'worked fine' and everyone elses is different - was it laggy? Did you see a severe drop in FPS? AFAIK this is due to the original version being openGLES2.0, which our devices do not support...

Eh, I prefer games like Labyrinth... But I only play it like once a month. Not a big gamer on the phone, that's what my PS3 is for . (I do realize you can't exactly play a PS3 in an elevator, but hey.)
I only tried to launch angry birds (rio I think?) once, never actually got around to playing it. Lotsalag on some pre-play cutscenes so I moved on.

I'm picturing a ghostbuster's style backpack and either a helmet with a visor screen or, for the extreme sports types, a mount for a 40" LCD (for splitscreen multi, of course) suspended forward.

Working fine, as in it was playable, the cut-scenes were slow but that didn't bother me. Apart from that it was okay.
Certainly wasn't a "30fps" experience, but good enough for me.
I was under the impression our devices did support OGLES2.0? No driver support (yet)?

The GPU was designed back when GLES 1.0 was new. It handles GLES 1.1 with an update, that's as much as it can do in hardware.

Indeed as highlandsun states - we do not have the hardware support for 2.0.
Ahh bummer. Oh well, the compromise we make with older hardware. I'm not yet ready to upgrade, and I enjoy the tinkering side of things anyway!

Underclock it to 159mhz on a single core and play the tegra 3 version of shadow gun. Now THATS funny.. download a huge file and listen to music at the same time for good measure.

Lol no, I was simply saying that i've underclocked it that far and played a stupidly intense game and it's just funny to see it spit the dummy! The rest is just to make sure it has even more of a hard time ontop of all that haha

well i appreciate the entertainment. i helped entertain you in the troll thread, ty for returning the favor
i wanna try something that will seriously tax this thing as best as i can. most i have been able to do is install a ton of apps at once, and ill get a market FC or wait, but once i hit wait, it catches up. it only seems to happen when the app is being installed. we all know the prime has a slightly slow write speed on its internal flash. ill try some tegra 3 games, thats about the best idea i got lol
I've found the main trigger is during something intensive after its been on for a day or more and has changed wifi networks 2-3 times to change the orientation while its loading the market. Honestly they are pretty hard to crash if I didnt use it so much I might think it crashes too much but then I realizes its been running for 18 hours with notifications 10 apps background running and I decided to change the market orientation while installing two games and connecting to wifi...and reboot.

Bob was the Shiz, Megabyte can suck it
ill try your method btw, thank you
Why are you looking to force a reboot?. Use device as normal and see if it does. Any device will reboot if you tax it too much n runs out of ram. All this will mean is that you forced a reboot. It didn't happen naturally on its own. Meaning there is nothing to complain about when it does reboot. It was of your own doing.
Also don't try that underclock thing. You will be in for a big surprise when your device rebooted n won't cut back on anymore...lmfao because the clock speed too low. That's playing with fire. Not all primes act the same. You've been warned..lmao
Try WiFiKill on it!
It worked for me.

Some Gameloft games won't work on GNote2 anymore.

After uninstalling and reinstalling a couple of Gameloft games(1/7/13), Mortal Combat3 and Nova3, they would not work anymore. I was so pissed.... I should have just kept as was..... Anyone experience same thing?

I can't answer your question though? I have not done a switch out in a while on my Note 2...

Nova3: Issue was rotation control app. As soon as I uninstalled, it worked fine
Modern Combat3: It's no longer compatible with our device.
I've noticed quite a few don't work I don't think the Note II's hardware is the blame though I think it's just the jelly bean OS that's causing the issues, hopefully the game manufactures will patch it and fix the compatibility.

I can't seem to find an answer either. While I don't have a Note II, I do have a tablet running 4.2.1 JB, and neither MC3 or MC4 will even load up. I just get that little flashing circle when I try to launch the games...

They let me download 1.5 gb games just fine, but then I get an error message when I open them. NOVA 3 and Asphalt 7 are working. Gangstar Rio and Modern Combat 2 & 3 don't work.
Any updates on getting these games
to work? Thanks
Alas, Nova, MC3/4....same problems here. It is a real let down to buy something, it not work, than gameloft give u a cheese answer.
I did get mc4 loaded. I uninstalled all gameloft games, deleted any gameloft data in sd/android/data then reinstated. Works. Also moved to lightweight v0.6 to try out at same time. Maybe the answer is in the rom, or the sd data wipe. I really can not answer. Also seen where for some people they could longpress home and go back to app after the crash and that worked. But I am worried, because I get my note 2 this week and these such games is why I bought it :-\ was wanting a more smooth gameplay.

Hi,
Some people have had compatibility problems and found that by unchecking in settings, developer options, force gpu rendering option.
That certain apps start working.
Maybe this can help you.
Thanks,

My issue was actually with limiting background processes via dev options. As soon as I reset to normal all games loaded fine.

You will need CWM recovery, i dont think root is necessary. and no i dont play games much on my phone so i didnt use it, others use it, you can check their reviews in the posts.
If you dont have CWM and your bootloader hasnt been unlocked, you can get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32712631
after installing CWM, just download the mod, and follow the instructions provided by the dev.
