Acer Liquid Metal Lag - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, it seems the phone lags after using certain apps, like camera, playing some games, or just watching a video. Games like Asphalt 6 or NOVA 2 are almost unplayable because of this.
I've been searching and I found that it's probably MDDI Lag, does anybody have a fix for this?
I'm using Technolover's Kernel 1.3a and stock gingerbread 2.3.6.
Log in attachment if it helps.
Thanks in advance

[Q] Problem playing games on 2.2

I have followed the guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827593&page=6
using Cyanogen Mod 6.1 RC1 and flykernel as kernel. I have issues playing games on the phone (the games lags), like "angry bird" and a few games with "snesoid" (super nes droid).
Can anyone comfirm if these issues are due to the kernel, because of android 2.2 or is it htc hero that has a too slow processor to play the games?
If there is a work around for a 2.2 rom to play games like angrybird without lag that would be really awesome. I have tried different kernels without luck.

[Q] Gameboid issue.

When playing roms like pokemon fire red, if the frame skip is off, games run very slow. if frame skip is on, games run really choppy (even if max frame skip is 1)(sound off). ive seen videos G1 running it very smooth.(which has a similar cpu as wildfire). could it be 2.2 - 2.1 issue? or something else?
im running official froyo 748mhz

Wildfire has no GPU, although I'm not sure if G1 has one

There's definitely something wrong with your Gameboid, I'm running Wildpuzzle with live wallpapers and everything, not overclocked, listening to music and Pokemon works like a charm, Sonic Advance and even Tekken 3 both run great as well, they are definitely more graphics-intensive, I set Max Frame Skip to 3 or 4 and then it's fast and quite smooth.
I'd download the latest version of Gameboid and another GBA bios file and see if that solves it.

Plants VS Zombies fix for Galaxy Player 4 & 5

If your having trouble running Plants vs zombies on your Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 or 5.0
(my game played fine until the night levels)
The game would lag, freeze, and touch controls would stop working.
then download chainfire 3d (Root Required!)
Open the "Per app settings"
and scroll to "Plants vs. Zombies"
now click the check box next to: "reduce texture quality"
You can also use "disable map buffer emu" but it's not as important.
The game should now run super smooth!!
how ever since we reduced the quality, the sprites of the zombies do not look as good.
But at least it plays
I have attached some in game screenshots take a look
-----
Note:
The fourth screen shot is blurry because it was taken while the game is playing, so NO, it dose not look that bad,
but it should give you a general idea of how the colors will look.
thanks! will try this if I also encounter the same problems in the night levels
I have the SGP 5.0 yp-g70 and it had trouble at first without chainfire and no overclocking. Then i oced to 1.2 GHz and it works fine. I havent used chainfire extensively but i find that it isnt needed for most apps except GTA III and maybe other gameloft games like modern combat (on GTA i still get lag but there is a way to fix it)

[Q] Lags and stuttering in games?

Hello!
Quick question on gaming on the Droid RAZR. I've installed a few games on mine and on a couple of them, there seems to be an occasional lags.
Specifically on Fruit Ninja and Dragon, Fly!
It lags once every 10 seconds or, and when it does, it just freezes the screen for 1 - 2 seconds
Funny thing is, it doesn't seem to do it on, say, BriskSaber, which is pretty much Fruit Ninja with higher graphic and star wars skin... I also have Wind-up Knight which has awesome HD graphic and it never lags either.
I tried turning off data, background update, Wifi, even put it on Airplane mode.
Anybody ever experience this? Any help?
Thanks so much!

ps: awesome video when registering btw.
Hello guys!
My friend is having the same problem, with Fruit Ninja and Go Ninja, sometimes the phone starts to lag. Does anyone know what could it be?
I've noticed that the .211 ICS update has caused some stuttering in games that didn't have it before. On the .214 leak, this seems to have cleared up.
I'm on the same leak as you and I've had no problems running fruit ninja or any game for that matter. I'd double check to make sure you don't have numerous apps running in the background. Download setCPU and set the governor to hotplug because the leak I'm on defaulted the second core off (no idea why)

Games seriously laggy (Let's Golf 3, Wind up Knight)

I have an Xperia Ray and the two games I mentioned above lag and drop frames to the point of making the games unplayable. Is there something wrong with my device? Is this normal? Does it work well on the Minis or other SE devices with similar specs?
It's really annoying, especially in Wind Up Knight as it makes the game unplayable.
I'm on stock Gingerbread, and I overclocked to 1.4, but the games are still laggy as ****.
You need to have enough free RAM also.
I usually go to Android Applications-Running Services and just close some unneeded ones to free up RAM for the game.
I agree with the above post. I've played Wind Up Knight on stock .62, TEAM Rom Beta4, and TEAM Rom v1.
Might check and turn off some persistently running apps. I only played it after root, removing unwanted apps, and having all my apps set the way I want. I only have a few persistent apps and they don't do much anyhow, everything else is set to only do something when I tell it to and I haven't had a problem running the game.
Hmm, actually with Wind Up Knight, I had to update the game. After the update it runs a lot smoother. At least it's playable.
What about those Gameloft HD games? I tried Let's Golf and Asphalt 6, and they both run at <30 FPS, more like 15-20FPS at best. I'm on stock rom and I removed everything I don't use (including every Facebook related app since I don't use it), closed unneded services, and closed every other app before starting the games.
Maybe those games are too much for our puny Adreno 205s. Hopefully they were both free (Asphalt is free through Getjar).
wind up knight doesnt lag on my sk17i .58 stock rom
Last time I tried Asphalt 6, was it incompatible with my LWW.
That was according to Android Market...
EDIT: Android Market says compatible, game itself says incompatible.

If you change in build.prop every thing where is WT19i to ST15i is will say that is compatible.
