I want a CPU overclock, gpu overclock, ram overclock, I want to lower the timings of memory clocks, I want a bloat free rom and I need hfp for Bluetooth enabled, it would also be awesome to run windows 7 on this bad mamma jamma and play some real games. I'm sure if someone can find a way to install Linux on a calculator watch its possible to put some time and effort into making the best out of this hardware crippled by the major manufacterurers.
Chainfire3D
Did anyone use it in this forum? If used, any performance gains or any issues faced?
Please reply...
ChainFire let you run specific graphical apps (like games etc.) but its not for video perfomance boosting at all It emulates shaders processing, so you could run Tegra or PowerVR games on Snapdragon devices. Using with SK17i, no bugs, all works fine.
Hi
I had it for some times (but never used a proper game to test it).
I just remember that I had some GUI graphc elements really stretched and messed up, did not know why...
I uninstalled Chainfire3D driver and all turned normal...
Ok, thanks for the info. Yeah, I just wanted to know that if it boosts performance or not. .
Depends en the game, if it's Hd or heavy,you can reduce the graphics and play games very heavy and incompatible with ours devices
Sent from my Defy with Jelly Beam
I haved same problems on my galaxy s2, s3, and now same problem with laging on xperia z.
Then i go to developer options and tick force gpu rendering. App is now flying and there is no any lag.
Please can developers fix this bug and make the game smooth ?
Regarding the lags
I guess its not the problem with the app.
At normal usage, there is very less work for graphics and so it never comes into play but when you are playing a graphic intensive game, it needs a lot of graphics and the phone cannot render the gpu.
So when you enable force gpu rendering, it allocates more graphics support and also reduces the lags.
You can try clearing RAM and Used applications before playing games and also switch off internet.
Switching off internet reduces the advertisements on apps by which you can reduce some lagging.
Hope it helps and it works.
On occasion I like to play emulators (e.g., NES.emu, Snes9x EX+, GBA.emu etc.) when I travel but, with the MediaPad M5 10.8, I have been experiencing issues in regards to frame drops (stuttering). If I enable 'Frame Skipping', the issue stops but the end result is jank.
I find this surprising as my prior tablet, the Tab S2 9.7, had a SD 652 CPU and could easily handle PPSSPP or ePSXe whereas the Kiron 960s with its Mali-G71 MP8 experiences hiccups on games like Super Mario Bros. It will run PPSSPP or ePSXe but again, like before, frame drops.
No other issues to report aside from this; video/sound playback are optimal (up to 1080P/24FPS/60FPS - but 1440P is a no go) and no overheating. Battery saver is off. I've toggled 'Smart Resolution' on and off without difference.
Has anyone else experienced something similar?

I love a bit of emulation me, so I'll have a go with PPSSPP tonight on my M5 8.4 SHT-W09. Any PSP games in particular that you've tried that cause you grief?
I haven't gamed heavily, but I recommend deleting Chrome and uninstalling updates to Android System Webview (or experiment with uninstalling updates to Chrome rather than getting rid of it). I saw general improvement from this - and some recommend this for smoother gaming on any Android device (Chrome, or Webview if Chrome is disabled, serves as a system process that is used by many apps, so glitchy or otherwise heavy updates cause issues system-wide).
If rooted you may be able to clock the gpu higher for specific apps. See this Mate 9 thread (Mate 9 shares the same cpu/gpu):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/mate9-takes-advantage-1ghz-gpu-t3601524
additionally go for the display options
try disabling smart resolution, fiddling around with the dpi in the development settings etc. I don't really play games a lot but cytus 2 and hearthstone are fine. Ark was a mess though

While I don't play emulation games, I think that many apps are written for SD only. I had came across a number of apps that cannot be installed on this tablet without sideloading and suspect that the CPU is the reason. This could cause the problems you are experiencing?

Thanks to everyone who followed up. Most appreciated!
I've been working away at this for a couple days now.
I've been using 3C Toolbox Pro to freeze unnecessary applications (including the ones previously suggested), used various governors and CPU configurations (all cores overclocked, all cores online etc), enabled GPU rendering, utilized smart resolution, disabled animations, disabled battery saver, have all ROMs running off internal (not external storage) and disabled several more broadcast receivers. I went so far to reset the tablet back to stock firmware and the results were the same.
So I'm thinking it's either a hardware issue, an incompatibility with EMUI or an issue with Huawei's implementation of Oreo.
I've already started a return with the Vendor so if the issue continues with the replacement, we can rule out hardware failure.
I need help with the new Android 10 feature in setting called game driver. What is it? How does it work? And how can I use it properly?
Maybe it's vulkan.
Try enabling it for games.
Some old games perform worse for me.
Here's a brief article - someone else speculating that it's a gaming mode, accelerating graphics https://www.notebookcheck.net/Andro...erformance-for-the-Pocophone-F1.451260.0.html
