I just bought an Optimus One and I'm not satisfied with the game performance.
Fifa 2010 runs fine, but with any tap on the screen it slows down and drops framerate drastically.
Is this some problem with my phone or does everyone experience this? Also, any luck running NFS Shift and such games?
EDIT: Just read about some 'touchscreen lag fix kernal'. Any more info on that?
NFS shift runing perfect for me.
Actually any game I've tried till now (even HD ones, the ones I manage to run...) is working perfectly with no lag nor slow fps.
But you have to mod the O1 a bit (custom recovery, modded kernel, hw acc + jit enabled, CPU overclock).
Does anyone know if the stagefright player has anything to do with game performance too?

Yes you just need z4root to root your phone.
It's always reversible, so no way you could worry about it
to get the best out of your phone, you can use custom kernels and roms +OC
the touchscreenlagfix kernel solves your problem about the cpu usage/framerate drop. Before, 3D/HD games that requires touch/d-pad was almost unplayable because of the sudden drop of framerate+lag.
it was a big BUG back then but now we are lucky that someone was able to fix it and now games like Hawkx, Nova, gtracing(games that requires touch) works Good on my phone.
NFS shift actually works fine even on stock rom w/o any MOd.
there are lots of guides in here discussing about the touchscreen lagfix kernel so you should try it if you want a better gamign experience on Lg optimus one.
I'm still wondering though...

Horrible official dev ( Sony erricson ) support . Officially the device bearly received in mid novembre Android 2.1 .... GPU drivers and optimization are pretty mediocre compared to O1 . It also has a smaller screen . It has only 3" opposed 3.2" that the O1 has .
Also O1 already has an ETA for official gingerbread ( end of may supposedly if something else doesn't occur. But either way it will get ginger 100% sure )
And I want to tell you one more thing . With andy's build 2.3.2 gingerbread ( a mix of aurora and CM7 ) he brought a ton of performance to the device .
Last night I tried Dungeon Defenders , which is a beast of a game ( really resource hungry ) and it finally works out great even without OC . As soon as andy releases the augmented kernel with OC I think , O1 performance will be almost on par with SGS.
LE: Also now I saw but the X8 has a pitiful ammount of RAM . O1 has 512 ( 418 RAM available to use ) and X8 bearly has 168 RAM . And believe me it counts . On internet browsers you're going to have a horrible experience.
i use my friends Sony Ericsson XPeria x8 and my LG O1 play angry birds same stage
my friends using 2.1 official rom and me using 2.2.1 stock rom
*both also using stock microsd
how come my friends oni lag awhile in angry birds ?
friends,
do we hav to overclock to fix the lag..?
or only the mod kernel will do..?
does overclocking heats the phone or any other damage to cpu..?

hello, it is not necessary to overclocking your optimus one but in a purpose of better gaming experience in your optimus one, then i think you should.
there is two things you need to install/flash to your O1 basically to improve your phone performance. custom ROM and a Kernel. i recommend flashing Megatron rom, and mostly people using Void rom. and i recommend Mik_os Kernel. mik_os kernel will solve all your "lag when hold screen" problem in your O1.
No, overclocking will not heats your phone, yes maybe it does, but just a little bit and will not harm your phone. and no it will not damage our phone CPU.
i currently using megatron rom with mik_os kernel, and its all working very well. gaming experience in my O1 are fantastic. with megatron rom, your phone CPU will automatically set to 728mhz (not sure, check this in the megatron thread).
heres the link for megatron rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870640
mik_os kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929941
before you will be able to flash this, you need to succesfully install this first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844483
its a custom recovery where you later can flash the megatron rom and mik os kernel. before you do flashing, i recommend to backup your sd card and things. goodluck

If you overclock and use the mod kernel, you will get the best out of the gaming experience. Don't worry about OC issue, as 700-720mhz most of the members are using this and no issues have been reported as of now. Also, the OC depends on the hardware modification and each phone has its own maximum OC limit.
If you feel OC is overheating your phone, revert it. Isn't that simple ?
Well, it's a budget phone (and a damn good one at that), so of course it's not going to run everything perfectly. If you're going to use custom rom's and overclock, please read about the subject well beforehand, ok? It can go terribly wrong, and it does sometimes cause problems.
And the claim about no problems is very false. Both overclocking, and installing a custom rom can cause random reboots, application force closes and hangs among with other problems. So please read into it, and be prepared to revert in case something goes wrong. Overclocking will also most certainly reduce the life cycle of your phone.

True, but who's gonna keep this phone for mare than 2-3 years? Also, most of the time the CPU is idle @245 MHz...
I overclocked mine to 768MHZ its stable. I have a p500h (same thing as the p500 I think)

No rom can beat JB regarding smoothness. I tried both PAC and Cyanogen, both are great in that regard, but i think PAC is a bit better due to the presence of AOKP and a better camera.
I wouldnt recommend 4.0 custom rom, especially with Aroma installer. I'm gonna say it blunt, as i think it : all those are frankeinstein monsters built from parts badly put together, there is no graphical cohesion or harmony. Even the Sony stock roms now get elements from other phones, and overall, look really, really amateurish.

I totally disagree. While the JB may be smooth without any apps installed and some tweaking, ICS allows you to run a plethora of apps like skype and facebook without becoming a lagging monster.
The majority of custom ICS roms out there are not pretty, but OptiMax 2, JellySandwich 7.4 are raising the bar. I also have really high hopes for Iced Bean 3.
For really smooth go for ForsakenGB rom 3! Also the best experience I have had gaming wise
Between Iced bean 2.1 and Optimax 2.0 ?
still jj hybrid for me.

Are you implying that 4.1 can become a lagging monster ? Because i never saw that with my eyes.
On the other hand, yeah, 4.0 is stable. Stable in sluggishy, but stable. Unless you have friends and many texts : then, you're screwed.

Well. I have 140 apps on my phone. 40 of them are games. I use swap and link2sd to make space. I use my rom with those apps and without swap enabled when i paly a game like subway surfers. It runs smoothly and when i hit home i have my launcehr full of widgets. Then with subway surfer in memory i launch Nfs most wanted and i play it also with minimal lag. My mum texts me on whats app that moment so i realise whats app didnt get killed by those two games. So i can say i have superb multitasking in genereal on ics not saying only in my rom but my rom improowes things... i tryed fxp145 witch is their most stable relese. It was smooth. i agree but it was smooth until i installed my 140 apps. I enabled swap(on ics i told about i didnt used swap) so i enabled it cuz it wass laggy and apps were starting very slow. So i rebooted wit swap and launched subway surfers. It was smooth. I liked this. but after 1 min playing it started laging I pressed home. and i had no launcher. It was killed(god damn it this is suposed to be cm10) I realy disliked that. anyway then i ensured subway surf is in memory cached and i launched nfs most wanted. I started playign and it was lagging a lot then told my mum to whats app me. I receved it and nfs most wanted killed itself and it returned me to home automatically and again my launcher was killd. So is jb good - yes but not for our xperias. We dont have any drivers for it. So thats why.

Honestly, 140 is not much. It may seem for people who only knew smartphones with so little internal storage but believe once you enter the tablet or the more recent smartphones, 8 gb isn't even enough !

That would be thinking we have an endless need for apps and stuff only limited by storage. Sorry dude, but this isn't even remotely intelligent. 140 apps, not much ? I'm not even sure the uncompressible time of loading all of them can fit during a few days of a busy man.
Sorry to say guyz, but when you answer something like "4.1 can be a laggy monster", have the reflex to end up your sentence : "when i install my 140 applications, wich is not much", so that some readers can quickly detect they're just not talking about the damn same thing.
So, to me : i have 12 dowloaded applications, never saw 4.1 get laggy whatsoever. But i communicate a lot with texts, and as soon as i reach 30 of them on internal memory, all the 4.0 i've tested become increasingly sluggy, to a point where opening my contacts app takes up to 5 seconds.
First i want to say Hi! to all of you out there.
Why is my neo-v so laggy?I tried many roms and kernels,but it still lags and i can't get an app to run properly withoul lagging.At first i thought it was the little amount of RAM,but i have a friend that has an LG Optimus Black and it laggs even more,so it can't be the RAM what else could it be?(I play CSR Racing a lot and with any Rom i tried it laggs,sometimes not so much)

if you are rooted you can try to overclock your device, also install custom kernels with better governors. try a search on the forum, you will get a lot of custom kernels also find ways to overclock your device.
hope i helped.
Thank you for your answer.I am rooted and now i am using fusion 5.5 kernel clocked at 1 .2 with ondemand gov and deadline gov for RAM and ZRAM on Racing Bean ROM.It is better but it still laggs sometimes.The only apps i've installed are:Facebook with messenger,yahoo mail,CSR racing,whatsapp,twitter,es file explorer and titanium backupThanks again!

Performance is a subjective term..
It varies from person to person.
Well,games do lag on our phones beyond a point and I've seen every android device lag after sometime of use while doing heavy multitasking,etc
Android OS as such needs to undergo a lot of development .
Well,you do have to pay a price for the seamless customizing option it gives us..

Would recommend you to switch to Super Jelly Bean v5.o + Fusion v5.5 kernel.
And yes, avoid overclocking. I never do. And if you switch to any SJB or moAOKP v3, you'd get enormous amount of RAM that you need not overclock!

Well yes, not all apps are compatible with it. Just think like your phone was a computer/PC.
You install windows xp which is themable and can become like windows 7 (i think transforming it to windows 8 would make it less efficient.)
So you have the lightets and most beautiful version of windows ever on your pc. But still windows xp can only use directx 9 and cant use internet explorer10 (but anyway who's using internet explorer nowadays.). Also a lot of software is not compatible with it.
So you install windows 7. Windows 7 will give you an amazing collection features,apps and such but they will perform slower compared to windows xp. (We are always talking about a computer with about 1,3~1.5Ghz proccesor)
So you must choose between these two: A lot of compatible apps and slow speed OR excellent performance with lower app compability. Well you choose. Gingerbread or ICS/JB. It is up to you and how you are going to use your phone.
Also with the lemon cake (if i rember correctly) version of android there is going to be a huge performance increase because it is going to support phone with ram of about 512MB which is what our phone has. And with a fully working kernel 3 Performance should be increased [email protected]!

actually it is 335 for gingerbread
340 for ics and

Well because of the fact that i am afraid of unlocking my bootloader (no money to fix/replace the phone from any damage caused) i cant tell you about custom kernels. But our phone has in general 512mb of ram. Generally some memory is taken by the kernel for some functions for example camera/gpu. Camera 720p has been removed from jelly bean so thats why it has more free ram.
That happens on every phone i guess.

Well it seems to be lighter and probably I guess more optimized. Ram doesnt matter for performance in this case. Gingerbead was made to work on devices with even lower ram thats why no problems excists. Also my guess is tha Jb can work on even less ram smooth enough. Ram in android is mostly occupied by cached processes which are "useless" for the Os to operate correctly.
Anyway about csr racing i know nothing ).
Ok so, as the title implies I'm thinking of getting an Xperia Sola on the cheapside (135€) almost brand new. However I do have a few questions:
1. Would you say the phone is worth the price?
2. Do you think it is a good phone?
3. I mostly use my phone for multitasking and gaming sometimes, so does it fit the bill? The 512RAM thing scares me, my Galaxy W said it had 512MB but it had like, 378MB.
4. How is custom rom development for the phone?
Cheers and thanks in advance
1. It's definitely worth its price, even when there is few cons.
2. More Yes than No, It has interesting design, a technology wich is available only for this phone only, called floating touch needs to be improved tho, but It's quite usable in browser. Built quality is not the best, could be better... after a while u will notice some squeaks and other noises it is fixable.
3. That's because there is usable RAM and non usable, can t really explain where the unusable goes, It has to function somewhere else in phone...available RAM is 368. It's enough if u stick with GB android version on ICS takes allmost 90% when no apps are working. Don t recommend to buy one if u are willing to update it to ICS... it would be a huge disaster!
4. I have seen some of the costum versions, for gaming as well, haven't tried yet, i am sticking with the stock one, for battery saving.

Hi guys, I need some help,
I have been using Xperia Z2 for the past 8 months and during this time the phone performed well but recent times its starting to give me a lot of problems; The screen had a problem and got it fixed and now I have a huge problem. The phone overheats like crazy when used more than say 10mins straight. It could be a call, messenger, video or camera, I know it has overheating issues with 4K but i never use the 4K feature to record movies. I'm on the latest firmware and lollipop update came via OTA, I can't tell if this is the exact reason but the phone gets so hot that it almost burns my skin !
I have reset the phone and wiped and re-installed everything and this had no effect. I have no warranty as I have paid fully for the phone and left the contract. I don't do gaming or anything processor intensive and yet the phone heats up really bad.
Any solutions apart from taking it to fix somewhere cause I live in Norway and I can buy a new phone for the price of someone looking at the problem cause its that expensive here
What if I have to install a clean stock rom? Any recommendations?
Thanks.
Sorry, I don't know

Hi guys, I need some help,
I have been using Xperia Z2 for the past 8 months and during this time the phone performed well but recent times its starting to give me a lot of problems; The screen had a problem and got it fixed and now I have a huge problem. The phone overheats like crazy when used more than say 10mins straight. It could be a call, messenger, video or camera, I know it has overheating issues with 4K but i never use the 4K feature to record movies. I'm on the latest firmware and lollipop update came via OTA, I can't tell if this is the exact reason but the phone gets so hot that it almost burns my skin !

Unlock bootloader, flash custom kernel with the alternative to chooice an aggressive hotplug driver / battery friendly CPU governor and flash a custom ROM.
Solved!
Try downloading watchdog lite and see what is using most cpu.If you find nothing try flashing latest ftf using flashtool,root and debloat.4g/lte could also heat up the phone very fast.

Had the heating issue on the Sony Stock Officail Lollipop ROM, now I'm on AICP with processor underclocked at 1.7GHz, giving great battery life and no heating issues even on high end games.

Check out some of the optimized / customized CM Roms with M5 kernel - rock solid combination.
Or just use the included kernel. Your choice of preference, u know!
Some what temp does your phone get to? Post a picture of when "it is nearly burning your skin".

Did your camera quality degrade? I'm rooted on LB and I'm underclocked to 1.2ghz, but still overheating.

Camera quality is way better in AOSP, just backup ur drm keys first, UL the BL, and thab try any AOSP or CM based rom.
Did you consider downgrading to kitkat?
I am using kitkat and the phone doesnt really overheat, without any underclocks or anything, unless I play something that is really demanding, such as asphalt 8

By saying the screen got fixed, does that mean the phone's internals were opened? If that is the case than we might have to look for a pysical reason more than a software one.
Besides, in many countries those devices have 1 year warranty, of which is decided and forced by goverments. Since it is your 8th month, you may still have warranty and take your phone to a service (they may blame summer thoguh).
