Do they both run well on a stock Flyer running Honeycomb?
Which should I buy (OK, which should I buy first...lol)?
LOL, 160 views and no comments?
Well, at any rate I do have an update to report: last night I bought and installed Shadowgun.
I haven't really had any time to play the game, but I can report that it definitely installs and runs on a plain-vanilla unrooted Flyer running stock Android Honeycomb. You need 250 MB of free space for the data download, which consists of 11 packages that download consecutively.
The game does run. I played it just about 5 minutes, so I cannot really speak to how fun it is or how well it will perform when the action gets hard and heavy. However, from the get-go you have a chance to kill two baddies and the Flyer handled the situation with nary a hiccup.
Graphically, this is a beautiful game. Can't wait to spend some time with it so I can give a fuller review.
I have dead space and it runs now since they updated it.
So fun and smooth that I'm on my third play thru.
Bought Shadowgun after it listed for .49 .... It's ok. Dead Space is better. I'm more happy with my Dead Space for 6.99 purchase than Shadowgun for .49
i did the same and installed them both when they were cheap... i'm on honey pot 1.1 and having a lot of crashes.. not force closes i get an error for those... instead these apps are just closing on their own it's like they reach a buffer overflow or something and they just completely crash... wish i could play these games like everyone else with out issue
I think the flyer doesn't have that much ram to support these apps/games... I was using the neutron music player and the player just closes by itself when there's not enough memory. So I guess it's pretty much the same for these games since their graphics are quite impressive! =)
Well if the flyers 1GB of RAM isn't enough, what devices would this play on?
Maybe the GPU isn't up to snuff, I can see that.

Now, admittedly I've only completed the first level, but I have encountered no problems or slowdowns with Shadowgun. Works for me.
LOL, looks like both these games are $.49 today. Get 'em while they're cheap, boys!!! (I know I'll be snagging Dead Space when I get home).

I don't think this is accurate. Both games play very well on the flyer/view. I'm just enjoying Dead Space way more.
Weirdly enough I agree and disagree with above post. While I have honey pot 1.1 loaded I've got loooads of free memory .... Like system tuber pro tells me I have over 500 MB free. Then I open flick golf extreme / dead space/ shadowgun/ whatever ... And quite more often than not the game will end up just closing/ crashing on its own straight to my homescreen no errors. So I've been trying to save the logs from when this happens... Its all pretty much Greek to me but I haven't seen anything about low mem in the crash logs. But. Idk what else it is either...

You were having problems with the Google Play store too, right? Maybe you need hard reset. There must be an app messing you up somewhere.

I play ShadowGun & have music playing through Winamp & don't get any hicups whatsoever! The in-game sounds are on que & frame rate is great. I'm still on 2.3 stock,just rooted.
Still need to get Dead Space though.
I've only tried Dead Space on my Desire HD, it's a awesome game.
I ordered a HTC Flyer yesterday, so i'm hoping to be able to game some Dead Space on it soon!
I've played Shadowgun almost half way through running LeeHC rom and everything has been smooth. No slowdowns at all. Have to say the gaming on my Flyer is so much better than on my phone because of the screen size.
If your having slowdowns check the running apps before launching the game and exit anything that might be dragging the device down. Also, I've always had good luck running Cachecleaner daily on my devices. Seems to help keep things running smooth.
I've been playing Dead Space on my flyer, and so far no issues to speak of. It's played pretty smooth so far, no crashes or hiccups. I'm using LeeDroids HC ROM.

Hi!
I just wanna check with some other ppl that are using SNESDroid with their Primes and are running ICS. No matter what game I play, I get stutters now and then. The emulator halts for a sec and then just continues like nothing happened. I'm using a PS3 controller when playing. Tried with and without the cable, doesn't make a difference. And I've checked the keybindings. There are no duplicates there either.
But here's the interesting part. It happens alot more when hooked to a TV via HDMI! Starting to think it's either a problem with ICS or the Prime having a hard time deciding how many CPUs to use for the app. I happen to know that these sorts of lags/stutters can occur because of it. Very annoying because the gameplay is otherwise sooo smooth >.<. I've tried changing the powerprofile but no difference.
The emulator does occasionally kick you to the mainmenu for some reason. Might be related to that too? Only seems to happen when not connected to a TV :S. The Youtube videos I've seen only mention this problem, not the one I've been having. Reinforcing that this might be a problem only I'm having...
Hope that you ppl can confirm and/or help me fix it . Thanks!
I don't have stuttering issue with snesdroid. for most part it plays pretty well. I have noticed a few times it kicking back to the load rom screen. its the app itself. it needs to be updated again and more optimized. majority of time it works great.
do your save states work on it? I never can seem to get it to work.
I have SnesDroid, Genedroid, FPse, N64oid, Neodroid(my favorite. plays and looks really good), & DoomGLES(best doom emulator out there. has updated 3d graphics, lighting effects, and more)

Interesting hmm... Ok what firmware are you running? Are you stock? Where do you store the games? If on a SD card, what brand and speed? "Oddly" enough my save/loadstates work perfectly. Really starting to think that it's the app... Probably not so good with ICS and/or multicore CPUs :S. I don't seem to have any problems with Fpse etc.
I'm on the latest firmware .15 on the prime. I'm still on stock rom but rooted and overclocked to 1.6Ghz. I store all my games on the device itself. haven't went out and bought a nice size memory card yet. all rom files except FPse ones are small. PlayStation roms are the big ones. maybe that's why I don't experience any stutter. prime will read rom data faster off the device itself. maybe you need a faster/higher class memory card. so prime can read it faster.

I'm on the same firmware. But not rooted (shouldn't make a difference) or overclocked. I tried running games off of the internal memory, no difference. But I kinda knew that since I'm using a Samsung 32Gb Class 10 MicroSD card >.<. Could you try playing some games on stock speed? Preferably via HDMI since that makes it more obvious. And last but not least. What setting you using in the app? Frameskip? Stretch Sounds?
Thanks!

rooting and overclock doesn't make a difference. I play most of the time on stock speeds and use the default set up in snesdroid. I don't change anything as it works good as is. its only FPse and neodroid that I may change some settings. have you tried uninstalling then installing again? maybe even a soft reset, which won't delete any data but will clear any faulty coding and files.
I wish I could find a dreamcast emulator or a 3DO one. I just got the TurboGraphix16 one and works great.

Thanks! That narrows it down to app settings. I know I've changed them so gonna restore the default settings and try again . I heard about a Dreamcast emulator online. But apparently the guy working on it has kept it for himself so far =/. Maybe in the future...
Sorry to bump old post. I had another user experience this same issue. I'm trying to track down possible causes.
One setting to adjust for sure is the audio stretch. Reduce it to 0, if you hear no crackles then great.

I'm pretty sure I've never noticed stutters from SNESoid. From PSX4Droid and N64oid sure, but not SNESoid.
I disable audio though because I'm always listening to music, maybe that helps?
I've been playing nova on my htc one x as well as transformer prime, problem is it gets laggy in some areas with full effects chainfire fix (no chainfire means no effects but no lag) however my gs3 plays it fine with chainfire and A 200 quid chinese tablet with dual core rockchip and quad mali400 with chainfire plays it full effects no lag???!!! And to help you understand this the antutu score on chinese tablet is 7560 and all tegra devices are just over 12500 so wtf?! I'm just so annoyed,
All devices running clean rooted ics no mods or tweaks only interactive governor
My nexus 7 plays nova3 with no lag at all...full effects
Plays fine on my prime also. No lag, full effects.

thanks deadlocked, i thought i was going crazy here and ive been reading the forums of other users complaining. without tweaking anything llike going into development settings max 1 process kill all processes is a temp fix but it doesnt work that well, i shouldnt have to do all that, not sure why a cheap chinese tablet can do this yet an expensive tablet with tegra 3 cant get it right?
i respect the recognized developer above but i thought he was winding me up there as a developer of all people should know there are issues
question now is what can be done, why is this issue even here, how do we resolve this

He isn't a dev.... & well.. I'll end there.
As for Tegra 3 ULP Geforce GPU (with 8 spectacular cores)... it isn't a powerhouse GPU. It lacks raw power compared to Mali 400 (and basically all other GPUs)... however, it does have those "oozing" special effects that Nvidia patented.
Also, with single I/O memory controller... with the lack of bandwidth being channeled through during GRAPHIC intensive games... it can have some "FPS" issues.

What's to lie about? Nova3 and all other games do play fine on my Nexus 7. The framerate not slow either. Like I said, it plays great on my NEXUS 7. now for Prime, Nova3 seems to like to crash on mines. So as of now, I honestly don't know how it plays on my prime. But I do have it for my Nexus 7. Even with full effects, nexus 7 handles it with ease. Prime has software shortcomings that is likely what you are experiencing. Plus you have to REMEMBER THIS, EVERYONE PRIME BEHAVES DIFFERENTLY. SO IF THE NEXT MAN SAYS THE GAME WORKS FINE ON HIS PRIME, THEN YOU HAVE TO TAKE HIS WORD FOR IT. IF YOU DONT, PEOPLE WONT BELIEVE YOU EITHER. JUST LIKE NOT EVERYONE PRIME BEHAVES THE SAME AFTER AN UPDATE.
PEOPLE NEED TO STOP ASSUMING THAT JUST BECAUSE YOUR DEVICE SEEMS to Run the game slower, everyone else's must also. PEOPLE ASSUME TO DAMN MUCH UP HERE. These devices are not all the same, unfortunately.
I have to agee with demandarim. I have a prime with 0 wifi issues, unlike most.. also I have mine rooted and clocked to 1.6ghz, also with no issues at all.. Since alot of people have issues with those I agree that no two prime are 100% equil
And if it runs well on other Tegra3 devices like the Nexus 7 .. Then it might be a issues with the Asus software.
I know were not even on a 3.x.x kernel yet.. we have 2.6.39.4.. even that might be an issue..
There is a lot of reasons youre's might be slow.. You can wait for Asus to release new firmware that might resolve you're issues, or you can load a custom rom, that is useing different firmware for you're hardware that is more based around performance.
Everyone here is willing to take there Desktop PC, load the latest drivers for there screencard or what ever, imagen you had to wait for a new release to update the driver? Like complaining Ubuntu 10.2 is craps compared to Ubuntu 11.1cause it doesn't run well on you're Alienware Desktop.. No.. you update the it... cause it fixes it! So if you would update you're out of the box Desktop for 25 more FPS, then THATS WHY WE BOUGHT ANDROID AND NOT APPEL... cause with a little tweaking its better..
appel is like flying business class.. its just fine.. Android/linux is like flying first class, you just get the bolts and spanner on you way in to fasten your seat.. so with a little tweak is better, or you fail to tighten the bolts, and then you complain on XDA forums
I think you should also remember that your chinese tablet has an 800x480 screen, not 1280x800. That's a HUGE different in pixel count, so a slower/cheaper SOC can easily push 30+ frames a second to that screen.
Its just like all other Gameloft games, they are not optimized at all to run with QuadCores or Tegra3 devices. Order and Chaos has the same issues, it doesn't have mind blowing effects and still runs at 24ish fps. Hell even Asphalt 6 doesn't feel like running at 60 fps. While other games with far, far better graphics run smooth like butter even when connected to the TV.

latest Window N101 it also has a chinese name yuanduo n101 or something like that, for 200 bones its a good deal, capacitive multi touch 10 point ips screen, ics 4.0.4. rooted etc. hd screen and plays 720p files smoothly, not tested 1080p it has a dual core rockchip 3066 and quad core mali 400 gpu tablet itself is really nice, i thought the asus would have have performed better than the cheap chinese one, but obviously not in this case, its probably gameloft being lazy and not optimizing for tegra as all tegra games run really smooth even in high activity scenes, large environments, etc.
still peed off thogh
just figured i'd chime in again (because of the controversy,lol)...
i was running androwook 2.1 with motley's lite kernel, o'ced to 1.8
the last time i checked out NOVA3(actually the only time i played it).
i went through a couple of levels and didn't have any issues on my Prime.
lately, i have been running team EOS Jelly Bean, and benchmarks have been down,
even from stock ROM, so i haven't tried to run it lately.
i have been playing Riptide GP tho, and it is still smokin fast!
Since upgrading to JB and updating Dead Trigger, I have only noticed one hiccup right when loading a level, and then no more lag through the rest of the level. Before the update and on ICS the game lagged like crazy for the first 30 seconds then finally cleared up. I'm not sure which one fixed it, but perhaps you should check out the JB rom as well...

1. Linux Kernel 3.1.1 vs 2.6.39.4 hardly matters.....
Perhaps you didn't know but Linux Kernel 3+ is really 2.6.40 but Linus Torvald simply renamed it to Linux Kernel 3.0...
The changes between the two kernel is minimal (of course, higher is always better in theory.. but here... it is extremely minimal)
If people want to discuss kernel & drivers..... and need someone to blame for multiple issues we have currently... look towards Nvidia FIRST & Asus 2nd (Asus is customer of Nvidia... and they are binded to their work.. sadly)
2. Tegra 3 SoC... no matter how much.. umm.. someone tells you... IS NOT A POWER SoC. It focuses mainly on battery performance (thus the 4+1 technology)... although.. sadly, it doesn't really perform that well in this category either if you look at smartphone sector (S4 HTC One X > Tegra 3 HTC One X).
Anyways, especially with single I/O memory controller, poor kernel/driver integration by Nvidia & Asus (this is assumption), and not very powerful GPU (yes, in terms of raw power... Tegra 3 is crap compared to other GPUs)..... IT CAN HAVE ISSUES during Graphic Intensive Games. IT CAN... as in... if we take Prime for example.... it behaves very radically from device to device.... thus... some will be unfortunate & some very fortunate.
3. I doubt Google wants Android to be portrayed as "tweaker" device. Google's trying their hardest to appeal to the mass public with Nexus 7..... Btw, all the updates & etc you speak of with Desktop.... going from Ubuntu 10.2 to Ubuntu 11.1 are OFFICIAL support. Custom ROMs are not....

This. I couldnt agree more. I was looking for NOVA 3 lag fixes on my Nexus 7 and came across similar posts stating how smooth the game is. It's not smooth. The frame rate is ****. Seems like all of Gamelofts recent titles, lag to hell on Tegra 3. (Amazing Spiderman, Modern Combat 3, Nova 3). Look at videos of Nova 3 running on the Galaxy S3. Now that is smooth.

Dude that is b.s.No offence.you can't install chainfire3D,hence no full effects.TEGRA 3 DOES NOT GET FULL EFFECTS ON NOVA 3.You don't see fire and smoke on the building at the right side in the first level, before you jump off the building you crashed into.Secondly it does lag very badly especially in multiplayer,I am on 620mhz GPU overclock with 1.6ghz CPU with smoothrom 4.1 android 4.1.2
I don't know about Nova 3, but I have to agree that Wild Blood for example is not smooth at all on my Prime.
Backstab on the other hand seems much smoother.
I'll try Nova 3 and let you know. ( Using Latest Energy Rom).
I want to get this phone and have stock ICS/Sense on it!
However, I want to be able to play games smoothly, and I want this phone to be compatible with lots of games.
With 1GB of RAM and 1.5 GHz Dual-Core processor, that shouldn't be an issue... right?!?!
I want games. Like, Angry Birds, Bad Piggies, Fun Run, Temple Run, Infectonator, Dead Trigger, Shadowgun, etc.
Can I do this? Or am I asking for too much!!
Thanks in advance, guys!!

Games for me run nice and smoothly - just keep in mind we have a very intense screen that will drain battery if too bright and on for too long.
Edit:
I have played nearly all of those games on NRG's Stock ICS ROM, and have experienced 0 lag while playing them.

I'm having a hard time deciding between this and the One S.
Get the Nexus 4 don't even think about the Htc one s (I am assuming that you have a budget). It would cost you around 250 dollars for an amaze in extremely good condition with box on eBay, while you can get the Nexus 4 for 350 dollars (16gb) version from the play store which is in a league of its own and quite cheap with high development. Just think it would be more future proof for 100 more bucks (its unlocked as well). It's such a beautiful device too

Sorry for the hijack but I'd like to ask the gamers here one quick question if you prefer I can open a different thread but I'm running NRG rom and lately (after installing and playing Hill Climb Racing) my phone is acting out.
First started with lots of lag on the game (sometimes is impossible to play) and then I get the black screen that won't wake up (yes I do have the CPU @ 374 or whatever it is that it has to be at idle).
Any help???

Sounds like you are running out of ram, hence the lagging. Close some apps in the background and see if that helps. Secondly it can be the rom because when I was on cm my games were lagging (temple run was lagging bad) switched to sense 4.1 and it was back to being buttery smooth. Hope that helps
Thanks, I'll try closing apps (if I figure out how to do it )
Hey, I'm new here so sorry if I have posted in the wrong place!
I've been experiencing lag when playing most games on my One X+, even Tegra optimised ones. Shadowgun THD is very choppy and so is Deadzone, GTA 3 is choppy, Dead Trigger isn't great but is fairly smooth and what confuses me is that Riptide GP plays well and Mass Effect Infiltrator is good too. I'm using this phone in the UK on O2. I'm wondering whether I have a faulty device or a software issue? Normal day to day use has been lag free. I've seen some users saying that their One X+'s are playing games very smoothly so any feedback/advice from other users would be greatly appreciated
Hey there man! Welcome to xda! This is a queer problem you are facing, check the ram usage. Perhaps there are several background processes running, bogging the system down. The hardware is perfect, no problem there! If the problem persists after a reboot, try downloading chain fire 3D for better gpu management. Hope i helped!

With power saver mode enabled the battery on mine will easily last a whole day, when playing games the battery is significantly drained though. So yeah, the battery isn't great.
guys this problem has been discusse many times now. take a look here:

I don't have my device yet, so cannot confirm, but if i understood all of that the right way the gaming issues are due to cpu-management e.g. governer.
You could also root your device and use setcpu or something similar to set your governer to other states and retry these games.
try to put live wallpaper on ur screen dos it lag??

I just tried Live Wallpapers and yeah, I can see a very slight stutter every now and then .
I installed the insertcoin rom and even with intensive 3d wallpapers, water, mybeach, season zen, etc it is all very smooth prolly above 50fps at all time mainly 60fps, however games like horn and avengers initiative lag for sime reason even though they are supposed to be oiptimized for tegra! they don`t even lag on the nexus 7, wth is going on!
Solution
Guys, if you are experiencing this problem, take a look at the thread nchantmnt posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783260. I rooted my phone (no custom ROM, although I may try one when more become available), I then installed this app and it has fixed my problems . GTA 3 is now smooth and so is Shadowgun Deadzone! Thanks for all your help guys!
Ps: I hope that an official firmware update is released to address this issue! Although this app is a good fix, it would be good to just be able to play games nicely without having to root and run a booster app.
nice to get some feedback and i am glad that this workaround ... well... worked
guys really learn how to use the search functionality or at least google.
i really wonder how many of those threads are going to pop up.
i guess this issue will be adressed soon by htc if not our devs surely will as it simply is a software-issue
just picked up this tablet this after cuz this is the only android tab with modern soc.
but it feels laggy when using. especialy when playing games.
The game i play called Mobile Legends,
I used to play with my Moto Z which packaged the same soc as this tab, yet the resolution looks like shyt and very choppy and laggy when playing.
Also touch screen some times stop working when multi touching, e.g walking with left wheel and attacking using right button, then left wheel stucked into one direction until release and touch left wheel again.
is it a rom issue? game issue or i received a defected unit?

I can only compare it with my OnePlus 3T but I feel that probably is a good comparison SD820 vs SD821.
In general I'd say performance is more or less the same with the odd animation stutter on the tab s3.
I don't do games so can't comment there, but its handling 4k h265 HDR content like a breeze and barely dents the battery.
I'll see if I get a chance to download and try the game, will feedback performance.
I think you need to mess with the game launcher feature to get working correctly
no stutter and lag for me so far. Mine just arrived today.
I've had mine since launch day, no issues here.
I've had two now, one Wi-Fi only device which I replaced with a LTE version and for some reason the LTE one feels more laggy, might try a factory reset.
Its because of samung touchwiz. Nougat build is really laggy even though I had tab s2 and even after heavy debloating I noticed minor difference. When I switched to a custom rom it much much snappier without any lags.
So blame samsung or wait for them to fix these issues. I have a oneplus 3 and with 820 its really quick(custom rom)!
Sometime I feel some lag, but the very annoying problem I've found is that when holding the tablet vertically, scrolling the screen up and down reveals that the right side of the display is draw a little before the left side, so showing a strange "elastic" effect. This hurts me given the "premium" level of the tablet. The same effect doesn't show on my 3 years old Tab S, nor in landscape orientation.
Did you notice the same things?

Have LTE version and it does feel laggy. Special if the device been off for long time.
Pretty bad performance when apps are updating or after sitting idle or of for long periods. Can't wait to root and put a Rom on it but I want to keep s pen functionality.
I did a Geekbench at 07 this morning I got 1823 single core and 4033 multi.
Now, a few hours later I get no more than 1190 single and 3100 multi, which is slower than my Tab s2
and my Geekbench 4 app hangs when trying to start up have to force quit it sometimes.
How can I find out who/what is stealing my speed?
Huib
Sorry kids, the Tab s3 is back to normal with single core 1773 multi core 4033 and compute a whopping 7085.

Same problem with my LTE. Sometimes he hardly wakes up after a while. It may take some seconds or not wake up at all.
Now I have really problems. It just does not start up. It reboots when not starting up from lepp
.
-There is no difference if using Nova or Touchwiz.
-The data/apps on it is a clone of my Tab S2
Huib
P.s.
I must say that playing very large Video files ( >10 GB) is much snappier. But e.g. my Dutch Volkskrant/AD newspaper does a very bad two fingers zoom pitch. It just hangs now and then while zooming. Problems that I do not have while zooming google foto's and others.

I removed the SD card and did a factory rest and it seems like its working fine now. The tablet wakes up very fast and I don't see any lag so far.
are you guys using an SD card?
Yes, that should not be a problem. 128 GB.
I had however the program Dropsync ( great software BTW) referring to a non existing folder on the SD card.
So, at every startup/wake up, the program seemed to be searchig for the folder. And that caused the delay or hanging.
I am not 100% sure, but after stopping Dropsync, and later on referring to the correct folders, the problem never came back.
A small test, removing the SD card, helped me a lot.
Huib
Not using it to play games, but it seems to run smoother after an update I received today.
Hi! After reading this thread, I've decided to remove sd card and tablet stopped lag. Then I've formatted SD card to exFat, removed unused files so some music, several books and 3 photos left there. After putting it back, tablet started to lag again.
Today I've run AnTuTu Benchmark with sd and without. 1 test with card, 1 without, 1 with, 1 without. Between tests I've only closed AnTuTu via back button and nothing else.
So results:
With SD1: 3D 28282, UX 38632, CPU 29294, RAM 9185 TOTAL 105393
Without SD1: 3D 53146, UX 41127, CPU 23673, RAM 7392 TOTAL 125338
With SD2: 3D 28743, UX 38650, CPU 22223, RAM 6571 TOTAL 96187
Without SD2: 3D 57138, UX 43860, CPU 24020, RAM 8690 TOTAL 133708
As you can see, 3D and UX are much faster WITHOUT card. It's prettey old ADATA 32GB. No app is installed there. How can this be?
Old SD cards can get laggy. I had one in my Note4 that I'd had for about 5 years. Lots of reading and writing to it in that time. Eventually my Note4 started lagging and becoming unresponsive. I took the SD card out and no more lag.

But what is he doing with SD card? There only few songs. Does it cache on SD all the time?

My UK LTE version doesn't lag. It's actually quite fast and fluid. Do you have Samsung's cloud back-up feature activated? It consumes a lot of resources when it's running. I must have a unicorn Tab S3. It's never experienced Wi-Fi drain and gets stunning battery life; both in stand-by and active use.
