I have been a proud owner of an x10 for all of a week and ive been having a blast playing with the 3d games now that we have multitouch. I just downloaded dungeon hunters, which is a pretty intensive game and found that it runs fairly well on medium graphics, until the final stages when there are 100+ enemies coming at me where it lags, sometimes pretty badly.
Im running bin4arys 2.1 rom with JIT enabled, and was wondering if there is anything i can do to free up more ram, or to increase the gaming power of the x10 so it wont lag as bad? If i can boost up the power enough then i could even run it on higher graphics, and that game has some seriously awesome graphics, perfect to show off the power of my new little toy.
Any advice would be welcome,
Thanks,
Fantus
Use freex10 2.2 personally I like jerp version but trips is just as good tell me if that makrs lag stop cheers

What is the best rom.for gaming on SGA???
Any suggestion?
cyanogenmod 7 with the overclocked kernel for more speed and smoothnes
Cyanogenmod has some small graphics glitches I believe.
ace isnt a good device for gaming in the first place. so dont expect to see much difference from one rom to another
First of all that is so true^
Luckily I don't really play games on my phone.
--------------------------------------------------
I've only played 3 games ever since switching to cm7 and those are:
Tetris (EA), Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja. They all work great.
I believe that Angry Bird was lagging (not significantly but only a little), but more lagg on the other GB-based roms that i've tried.
Samsung Galaxy Ace = Adreno 200 GPU chip = not very good for gaming, regardless of what ROM you're using or what your clock speed is set at.

Hello All,
I was wondering how to improve the performance on games such as mc3, horn, and other high graphic games? I heard from someone that ics roms run games faster than gb , and that you also should overclock your device using an app called tegrak overclock. So my question is this: how well does our player run games, and if so how to make the games run smoother or better. Thanks!:laugh:

(This thread should have been posted under Questions, just so you know.)
The Player 4 and 5 both use an SGX540 running at 200MHz. I have both NOVA 3 and MC3 on my Player, and it seems to me that Gameloft has definitely not optimized their Android games as well as they could (example: the 4th generation iPod Touch has a weaker SGX530 GPU and less RAM, yet MC3 runs better).
That said, I have seen people overclock the SGX540 in our Exynos 3110 to anywhere from 210-250MHz. If someone can implement this to a Player kernel, we should be able to do the same, and probably reduce some lag.
As far as Android version- from what I understand (and this may not be correct), 4.0 uses more RAM, so some games might work better on 2.3. I have also seen many reports that Gameloft's games do not work well on 4.0 (more lag and/or crashing), but they may have been updated to fix these issues.
I'm running Android 4.0. I've got an overclock to 1.2GHz. I have set the maximum number of background tasks to only allow 2. This has pretty much completely fixed any lag i've had whatsoever. Even on 2.3! I have MC3 and Nova 3 and they both run fine with the odd jitter every 10 mins but you can expect that with any device. I also bought Gangster Rio but I haven't tried that on Remics UX yet. It ran terrible last time Si used it on ICS Crumble but I didn't have the Background process limit set then so i'll get it and i'll see how it gose. But if you've got ICS Seriously, you will be amazed at what difference it makes. I just hope Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour will run as smoothly!

I think this is part of the problem; our forum doesn't have a dedicated Q/A section like most do. For all you people uncertain; ALL QUESTIONS GO IN GENERAL. Never ever post a question in development.

I highly doubt it will run at all, unless Gameloft has a version with highly toned-down graphics. NOVA 3 with all effects and graphic elements set to high is nearly unplayable (though it looks incredible), and we know MC4 is more graphically advanced than N3. Even if these Players had a better GPU, though, RAM would still be an issue, and Gameloft might even skip on a PowerVR-optimized MC4 anyways.
I am making custom kernel atm, show me an example of overclocked gpu that we have. Afaik the were tryind to do so with i9000 without success

If you look around, you'll see that just about anyone with a Tegra 3 device and a Gameloft game has the same problem. Either the Tegra 3 has a weak GPU, Gameloft fails at optimizing their games, or both.
If you set the graphics of NOVA 3 on the Player to the same level as on the N7, the game becomes unplayable, even though it has to push a much lower resolution. Tying that back in on-topic, as MC4 has more advanced graphics than NOVA 3, it is probably not going to work with the Players.

tegra 3 has very good gpy and with custom kernel you can overclock gpy to blow every other curent android device away..but that gamelooft are so ret..is it so hard to add video options like in every pc game or gta for android ..that is one day job..

A one day job? One day to re-do / re-render ALL the textures and models ? Also some games DO have options , like Max Payne.

I can run Nova with no lag. The thing that was causing the problem I think was the RAM until o set it to 2 background tasks. And also SWAP file support could be another thing to work on to gives more than a 1GB or RAM.

Its not one day..its one HOUR job..the game has allready options because every game engine has video option..but with a gamelooft you have to extract option file from ogg file then change on off what you thing ..save and then recreate ogg file again..And only game that gice options is rock star ..they are only developers with brains in android world for now..and off course there is no need to recreate textures..its one command in opengl.

I can run it with no lag, too. NOVA 3 for our Players has all the graphical effects disabled, but when they are turned on, the lag is unbearable, which is what I was talking about (I'll make a video showing this). Tying that back in, since MC4 has these graphical effects by default plus a new graphics engine, either the game will not work at all (read: to laggy to play), or Gameloft will greatly downscale the graphics for us (unlikely).

Install Chainfire3d from the Market. Open it, install the driver, reboot, and it should be good to go.
However, a few warnings. Campaign will not work, at all. The only way for the game to load and be somewhat playable is to do a local WiFi multiplayer match with just yourself. I also recommend letting it sit for a minute or so after the map (pick a relatively small one) has loaded.
So no campaign? Oh well I'm completely stuck on a mission anyway ha ha.

Well, with the full graphics, the game lags too much when doing anything (except for walking around) for the campaign to be playable.
First, sorry if it is there, i'm on tapatalk so i can't check
So, i'm getting the Evo 3D this month (97%) and since I'm heavy gamer, i want to know if it can decently run newest games (MC4 etc.). I know that 1 GB RAM and Adreno 220 is not bad, but i still want to know. I want to stay at stock ROM for a while. And isn't the 16:9 screen bad? Are those games compatible with it? Thanks for any answer .

It does run Modern Combat 4 (got it free with my Moga and it played fine)
other games like Sonic 1 run great too. So does NFS Most Wanted if you can get it downloaded (it's listed as not compatible now)
a very little number of game run in 3D mode!
all the rest is standard 2D
Yeah it runs every game just fine except vice city. The game crashes when you enter a vehicle.
Other than that everything is good at defaults. But you don't get all the new games at high graphics like in galaxy s2/s3/iPhone5/iPad 4....In MC4 the havok is not enabled for evo 3d.No ragdoll animations, the gun doesn't shine and so many effects disabled. Same with asphalt 7, real racing 3 and most wanted. No motion blur and no water effects on road. Gangstar vegas has visual quality option in settings but it does not allow anything higher than medium graphics. There is no big game from EA and gameloft (from mid 2012 and onwards) that runs on high settings on evo 3d.

imho the evo 3d doesn't keep up like it needs to... when it comes to gaming... however it does play most games.. chances are on a stock rom you are going to notice a lot more lag than if yo were to root it and get your flash on and get a kernal to optomize those processors correctly....
So San Andreas is out in December and I was wondering if our beloved S2 can play it. It's kind of my all-time favourite game and i was hoping i could refresh some old memories. With 1 gb of RAM and a decent processor it should just about make the cut...Can anyone help me with any tricks, maybe some kernels to flash or overclocking which can cause a considerable boost in gaming performance or will siyah or dorimanx not have much of an effect...I know that benchmarks are not always conclusive but I can just about manage to get barely playable framerates on dead trigger 2 high graphics with stock cm 10.2 while i could play it only on low graphics on the stock ROM...This is the first game in which i have experienced any performance issues while modern combat 4, gta 3 and vice city, nfs most wanted, pvz 2, angry birds, fifa 14 etc run like a dream...Any tips for squeezing that last bit of performance and battery life would be greatly appreciated...

can you give me fps for dead trigger 2? and what rom plus kernel?
btw san andreas have • Enhanced for the iPhone 5 series and iPad 4th Gen and above with dynamic detailed shadows and real-time environmental reflections.
now we look to other game that do kind of this enhancement too, ravensword shadowland. on our device shadowland run on full effect like 4s/ipad 2 but without the enhancement for iphone 5/ipad 4.
if your curious what the enhancement look like just see ravensword shadowland on iphone 5/ipad 4 on youtube. On the first five minutes of game play, you will meet a big troll. Now on S2 the troll body texture is the same as ipad2/4s while on iphone 5 it have better texture.
It depend on the setting itself, maybe on android full effect setting only have same effect like 4s/ipad 2 or maybe can run on high setting but without shadow.
btw sky gambler air supremacy on our device does'nt have lens flare like ipad 2/4s :crying:

have you see the game on other device? especially on non mali gpu? the screenshot is same on google play and the game itself on galaxy note 3 with max setting (from some site) from my perspective the graphic have ugly and flat texture. I see some people share ss on adreno devices and the texture is better compared on note 3/google play. I believe the mali version have toned down texture and polygon. the character itself look ugly compared to ps2 version.

But my question is,
Is the whole story ported? All the missions and side missions?

i dont know , i dont have mhl/hdmi adapter maybe you can buy me one? i will test it :laugh:
btw i notice no matter low res,graphics or draw distance , the game will stutter if use car detail more than low and shadow more than classic. If seems the mali doesn't have enough power to run those two(vertex bound). If you want to play this game smoothly on all max, you need min a device with adreno 305 gpu with max res at 720p. so just turn off shadow and car detail if you want to play this game smoothly. I use classic shadow and low car detail and the effect look like PS2 version , it's okay btw for me
