Root + Gta 3 or Other Hardware intense games - HTC Amaze 4G

Can anyone confirm that they have their phone rooted and the virtual touch buttons in graphically intensive games work fine on their rooted phones? (Like on Quicksense, Beastmod, FourthBar, Bulletproof)
My touch screen has issues but as soon as I reverted to a non rooted tmo 1.36.531.5 base it stop and worked fine! Its driving me crazy cause I cant return it and say its broken unless its broken on stock!

It's not really broken if you can revert back to stock rom and works fine, is it now???? its a rom issue and not broken, Why don't you just do that and return to stock??

I can play GTA3 on BeastMOD just fine

so what is the point of the thread?

Because for some reason its just my phone that does it... I just wanted to see if it was a common problem or if my phone is just weird. I could revert to stock, but I don't want to. I'd rather have a phone that worked right and was running a custom rom.
I did some more testing and its not the root, I think its the scripts that most of the custom roms have in them. Maybe this will help someone else but so far I seem to be the only one with this problem.
BTW, Thank you adslee for the confirmation!

Its interesting that it seems to only be a few devices or people that seem to be having issues with it. I think I've narrowed it down to either a common build.prop edit or one of the init.d scripts. I'll definitely post when I do figure out the culprit so if anyone else is having issue they can fix it too.

I actually think its been narrowed down to active apps running on your phone such as screen filter and widgetlocker.
While widgetlocker was enabled and running on my phone... My gta3 wouldn't respond accurately (sometimes not at all) to any touch screen actions. But after disabling and then rebooting - game worked perfect. Re enabled it and tested again... Had the same problems all over again.
I haven't experienced a problem with screen filter personally... But I did read that both apps can negatively affect the touch screen accuracy/capabilty.
Just thought I'd share that
{HTC Amaze 4G running QuikSense v3.0.0 w/ X kernel}

I have neither of those running on mine but still have the same issues with GTA3, NFL2012, and Age of Zombies

Well thanks to tmac, an uninstall of go locker solved my problem. Mike, all I can suggest is try one of the stock roms x has provided and see if you still have issues. I'll still do some testing but I think that solved it.

CM9 Touchpad - Everything works!!

Because we can still boot into WebOS. I started thinking about all the folks complaining about what doesn't work on their Touchpad, and thought about someone who comes to the forums and might be afraid to flash because they'll lose the camera, or youtubeHD, or HuluPlus and just thought I'd remind folks that rebooting into WebOS is easier than some of the crazy work arounds people are trying. It's actually pretty amazing to be able to do what we do. Most phones that get an Alpha ROM with lots of bugs, have to deal with all of it......we can just boot back into WebOS and all is well.........so, Play with CM9, enjoy some apps and games, and the fun that it is, then boot into WebOS and watch a movie, or skype with your mom.........it's a GREAT friggen tablet!
So what doesn't work in CM9? I put CM7 on my tablet yesterday and the wifi not working and failing to connect all the time is driving me nuts. Almost to the point where I might just sell this thing.
Don't be foolish. There are threads 'aplenty dealing with and solving the wifi issue. Typically, it is caused by other routers near you using the same channel and changing your routers channel will solve the problem.
But if you are really so ticked off you want to sell, how much are you asking and is it a 32 or 16gb?

Lower the channel on your wifi router. Not sure what the bug is but that fixed it for me. (Iirc I had 11 or something, now 4 - works fine)

for me its skype. It's great to be able to boot to WebOS to video chat, but the WebOS skype program doesn't do landscape for some reason, only portrait - which is exceedingly dumb since the official case stands the touchpad up in LANDSCAPE

That only works if you can access the router. Kinda hard to do that at other businesses.
Will have to give CM9 a shot and see if it is any better.

So which Rom do I install for cm9. On cm7 now. Can i backup cm7 with cwm like I do on Epic and restore it later?
What's everyone getting all riled up for? The original thread said nothing specifically about wifi, and just stated about how nice it is to have a dual boot system. And what doesn't work in android does in WebOS. Why all the negative ninnies here ?

I guess I don't understand the title. Cm9 everything works.
Netflix doesn't work. But at least change the title to represent this subject right. Maybe choose: between cm9 AND webOS, everything works (except netflix)
Just a thought. Ur title lures people in thinking that cm9 updated so everything works. And that isn't the case at all.
Just a friendly reminder.

hardware acceleration works since alpha 0. Hardware decoding hasn't worked so far. you can turn off hardware acceleration in browser to see the difference. don't be disappointed, this is the fastest we can get.

I read this on Dalingin's Twitter. I guess I meant video codecs. The performance is great, I just want Netflix and HD Youtube.
Put on the alpha 0.6 after wiping with CWM. Works great. Wifi connects with no issues unlike CM7.
I keep seeing posts about HD video playing for Youtube and Hulu not working. I assume if I copied a bunch of HD movies onto it for travel they will have issues and general video playing would suck up battery life. Is hardware decoding in the works? Does CM7 suffer the same issue?
As far as video playback goes, I've been using arc media tab player. Using the regular. Avi files with very little problems. Its been great while on vacation and on the long flight.

Why, oh WHY is the rezound So laggy for a duel core phone?

i have tried almost all the roms out there, sense, no sense etc and the rezound is SO laggy. especially on ICS. the last thing i tried yesterday, was the stock LEaked ICS, and i debloated it myself, and it is so slow. i had to do a battery pull 4 times on the way home last night while using instagram. honestly, im using my INC2 now, and it is so much less laggy and faster on both, ICS and GB
the specs are so nice, but man, its terrible. the ONLY thing i have not tried are custom GB roms. i SO love the look and feel of this phone, and the battery life is good. but man, i cant take the laggyness. i sooooo want to solve this
thoughts?
maybe you have a lemon?
Not sure what lag you're seeing. Mine is pretty good. Every now and then some lag will creep up but overall its lagfree and snappy.
Most roms I've tried even gb roms are somewhat laggy except rezrom gb. Nils business ics is also good for me. Ics lag is mainly due to kernel as there is no source yet. Is the stock Rom laggy for you as well? I've noticed this phone doesn't respond too well to underclocking like my EVO did

duel core?
Also, coming from a 512mb phone that was also dual core this phone flies
its just the battery life that's ****
yeah that sounds like you just got a bad phone. I'm running new ICS leak, Rooted, desensed myself and whatnot, also put it into tablet mode and it flies like crazy! No overheating or bad battery life. Ya got yourself a lemon.

How does one define lag anyways? What I might think is fast and quick maybe to slow for you. But as the others have said you may have a lemon. Look in the general thread for on how to s on. You will have to run the latest Gb ruu then do the s on command. I do not know it of the top of my head right now.. but make sure you are on a signed stock hboot before you s on
there's got to be something wrong with your phone. i'm still on stock & performance wise it's comperable to the galaxy nexus. oh and battery life sucks on all 4g phones.

Very true....i define lag as, when i press the home button, it takes a sec or two to get to home, all other phones i have owned goes right to home. opening apps, kinda slow compared to other phones as well. typing, VERY laggy unless i shut off vibration and the pop ups...
try factory reset it help sometimes after debloating

its lags everytime ?

I do a fair bit of texting all day & using Smart Keyboard Pro with vibration/popups on I get absolutely no lag whatever.

Ahh hrm maybe it's just the Sense 4.0 ROM's that Instagram may or may not work on....haven't run a 3.6 ROM in a long time
I have a similar problem to the original post. It has been taking about 2-3 seconds to enter settings, bookmarks within browser, etc. I have boiled it down to maybe a hardware issue. My phone ran great on GB though, so idk.I am rooted with s-off on the ICS leak with the fixed kernel. It usually runs good after first installing a rom, but then lag along. And this is with no apps downloaded.
I have another unrooted, non s-off Rezound with GB and it flies. I think I am going to switch to that. Hopefully when we get official ICS I can compare the two devices.
Long story short, I have the same problem but I am finding most people don't have this lag issue. Don't know what is causing it. Maybe I screwed up my hardware during s-off.

I have no clue, good question though. Worth looking into for others. Although I think there is a way to get back to S-ON in a thread in the Development section? My phone was Stock S-Off so I lucked out with that, so I'm sure I can, I'm sure you would be able too as well.

capacitive buttons stopped working today :/

Out of nowhere, the bottom buttons stopped working today. I was on a Sense ROM (ICS Business) and I figured it was just software related. I tried 5 or 6 different ROMs, even went back to stock. Has anybody else had this issue before? If so, is it hardware or is there a way to get this working again?
For the interim, I just installed an AOKP Rom (Neo 1.5 Linaro) because it offers the software replacement navbar. Out of curiousity, does anybody know what other ROMs may offer the same software replacement?
I was going to look at Neo Rage (1.6 Linaro), but it's listed as AOSP and I'm not sure it offers them or not. I assume there are no Sense based ROMs that offer this?
Thanks!

In any AOSP rom you can enable the soft keys. Some roms you have to manually edit XML files to get them though. In sense, you can't add them
Thanks. I'll poke around some other AOSP ROMs as well. I never really paid attention to them mainly cause I had no use for them heh. Now I really don't have much of a choice.

Did you run any of the mods to dim the lights? I know I run a mod that scripts this change and I wonder if that's sticking and not playing nice with the other roms. Do you have anything for dimming the lights in:

Ok, looks like I am not the only one, sorry to dig up this old thread, but my Capacitive Buttons stop working today.
I did not install any app, or made any changes and had been using the same (Niles Business 3.6) ROM since Jan.
I never have that dim Capacitive Buttons script.
I did not drop the phone recently either.
I am going to try INFECTION and see if it can tie me over until I get a new phone.
Oj, my guess here is something happened to the digitizer or digitizer ribbon cable. Have either of you had your phone disassembled anytime? If it's not the digitizer and software related, a hard reset or new ROM install should have fixed it no questions asked......
unless some other piece of hardware in this phone has taken a dump. .?
No, the phone had never been taken apart. The only thing that happens to the Rezound, was that I dropped in about 3 ft on asphalt, and it only had a few minor rash on the frame (the shiny part), and that happened many months before the capacitive buttons died.
I am added the info below to hopefully help others that have this issue.
Installed INFECTION, followed Neo's direction (below), and it has a usable phone again.

[Q] Power Button Wake & Sleep Issues on AOSP

I'm hoping someone else has already solved this issue, but I seem to be running into serious problems with AOSP CM ROMs with regards to the power button. Recently I actually bricked my original EVO 4G LTE and got a "new" one via the insurance replacement program with Sprint. I immediately obtained rooted, installed recovery, and obtained S-off. I then proceeded to install CM10.2 (deck's build) and am actually still running 9/20 version of this ROM.
My problem with the power-button is that it sometimes does not respond to a press where it may not wake the screen or sleep the screen. Sometimes it takes 2, 3 or more presses to get it to respond. Additionally, sometimes after the screen sleeps it will immediately wake again. It's as if the button is not properly de-bounced. My first thought was that the power-button was physically broken.
So as an experiment I rolled back to previous versions of CM10.1 and got the same results, even after clean flashes. Then I tried rolling back the stock ROM which came with the phone, from a nandroid backup. Shockingly, no power button issues at all. So with a sense based ROM, it seems to work perfectly, but a AOSP based ROM (specifically, CM10.x) I see the issues.
Could this be a kernel issue? Anyone else seen or resolved this issue already?
Thanks. Sincerely,
Frustrated.
Yeah I have that sometimes too although occasionally it won't even wake up and will have shut off by itself

Promising update.
I updated the latest TP firmware from Captain Throwback, on a whim. While it doesn't seem to have fixed the issue, it seems much improved. The jury is still out - and it's only been an hour or so since I installed, so this is hardly enough data to say definitively. But promising.

So your power button was bad with the stock ROM too? That's a bummer. At least mine seems to work OK with the stock ROM. Maybe I should try some modified stock ROMs to see if there is a difference there.
You're not alone. My brother and I both have EVO's and we're both experiencing this issue. It's annoying as hell having to press the power button multiple times to wake the device. Didn't start having this issue until the end of the CM.1 cycle. I also went back to Sense and found no problems. It only appears to occur on non sense ROMs. Does anyone have any insight to this or possibly a fix?
It's a kernel issue. That problem did not pop up until the 3.4 kernels started coming out.

Well that's great news (sort-of) and means that some day someone could potentially resolve this in the kernel. Maybe we need to X-Post with the CM10.2 development forum, unless they are already aware and are working on this.

There were certain nightly/kernel mixes with the 10.2 and Haunted kernel that seemed to clear it up for me.
I can't for the life of me remember which combination. Sorry.
One thing that alleviated that for me a bit was enabling "Volume Buttons Wake Up Handset" or whatever it was.

Haunted Kernel 31 + Unofficial CM10.2 9/20 Build (Deck) appears to still have issues. Although it seems a bit better than before. As to whether this introduces new issues, I'm not sure yet.
The work on the kernel is ongoing. Trust me, it's way better than it was before.

Yup, expected to have a few hiccups using bleeding edge ROMs & kernels. Glad to hear that these types of things are being addressed. The Haunted kernel definitely makes things much, much better. It's definitely daily driver quality now.
As a side note, I've also noted that the WiFi seems to work better with the Haunted kernel as well. Not sure if that's related, but where I used to have difficulty staying connect to WiFi at home and at work, it now seems rock solid. Still a bit too early to be definitive, but so far so good.

Haunted Kernel is still behind some, last I checked. So while you may have some benefits, you will lose/miss some fixes/optimizations. But to each his own.

Good to know. I will keep flashing and keep trying the new builds as they become available. For now, this seems to be a good combo for me. The current Haunted governor actually kinda seems to be draining the battery fast so I may tweak that. Anyway, thanks for all the responses here, this has really enlightened me on this issue.

I know a lot of others are experiencing this, but I wanted to know if anyone using this app and this phone in particular have made it run smoothly. Snapchat support email bounced back. . Also It's always been like this on my S3, Note 3, Note 4, Z3C but much worse on this one.
(deleting it doesn't solve it! so please don't say that - i'm secretly kind of jealous of my friends iPhones when they use this app..)
Thanks

What version are you running? I've been on 9.21.1.0 since it came out and have zero issues. I've never had issues with SC on any phone actually and I use it heavily. I use snapprefs with it as well to spoof speed and locations too and it just works..?

That's interesting... I'm on v9.36.5.0
It works perfectly for the first 2 minutes sometimes and then slows down to the point where I have to do a hard reboot because it's unresponsive.. i wonder If there's anything I can do..

try downgrading your version. I never update any of my apps until I have to.

OMG yes I'm having the same problem too and I can't seem to find a solution to this. I'm running a rooted stock firmware 32.2.A.0.253 with a AndroPlus v34 kernel. I wonder is there is any CPU governor or I/O scheduler tweak I could do to make the app smoother...

I have the same setup as you. Please let me know if you ever figure anything out. how annoying is it?! I'm glad i'm not the only one. maybe we should try downgrading? But from memory, it's always been a pain in the ass, but recently much worse. I am having to reboot after to get my phone back to normal.
arghhhh
