How can i run games more smoothly - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

I got more galaxy player 4.0 about a month ago and i lov. I hace ethereal rom with terrasilent kernel and its working great however I noticed the device struggles with some games like virtua tsnnis where it will randomly freeze and i have to hard reset. Is there anything i can do to run these games more smoothly or is this device just not strong enough?

You could use no-frills cpu (or a similar cpu app) to overclock.
Or you could try chainfire 3d and reduce texture quality of the game. It should make things run smoother.
Considering that our players are using 2+ years old hardware, I'm pretty happy with its gaming performance.

What I have found is that our gpu will run any game you throw at it just fine. I have never had any gpu induced lag with any gane I have run on the Gplayer. The issue with our devce is the horrible flahsh memory samsung decided to include with it. That us what causes 99% of the lag in games on our device. I would suggest flasconverting to ext4, abd.maybe flashing a custom rom, as those usually have a lot of apeed tweaks (like mine). Overclocking is a much smaller benefit, but srill helps. Finally, if you are getting games that slow diwn to a slideshow abd theb freeze, that is due to a lack of ram. In that case, you need to flash a custom kerbel (they increase availible ram), abd enabke.zram if.you use terrasilent (he has a guide on his thread). I hope that helps!

my internal storage isnt being read
Thanks for your help klin and han, the newest version of your ethereal rom has allowed me to run virtua tennis without the freezes, however after flashing the latest version, when i try to connect the device to my pc, the internal storage will not show up and only my microsd card will show. if i enable usb debugging i can see the removable disk directory that should be my internal storage greyed out on the eject usb menu while the external sd is clickable. this is a new computer and i installed all the drivers but this occurs on other computers as well. i can see all my internal storage data in the device's browser, it just wont show up on my computer. can someone please help?

Also you REALLY should load up "No Frills CPU" and at the very least switch the governor over from terrasilent to smartassV2 and the I/O scheduler to deadline and while your there go ahead and bump it to 1.2 Ghz max.

I am pretty sure a reboot wil fix that, it did for me. It is probably an issue with one of my init.d scripts, I will look into it.

[Q] Cherry Mobile Candy Froyo SD Card Errors

Don't laugh... I have a cherry mobile Candy (times are hard) running android 2.2 Froyo. Not that the phone has ever done what it claims to be capable of but now I seem to be facing much more serious issues. After WinMobile 6.1 I lost the time to focus on my favorite hobby playing with devices...Now I feel like a noob again with Droid so I need help, and thank any who does so ahead of time.
That said here is what I have been experiencing, what I was doing last, and how I have attempted to fix it.
My phone was working fine with gobs of apps on it. I decided to root my phone using z4root and it worked fine, slow but that has always been the case(Phone is still rooted) In an effort to speed up and take control of the device I attempted to use a few new apps, but found that support for my (Lame) device was not supported. They include: RomManager, SetCpu, and Battery Callibrator(<Suspect #1) The first 2 barely worked, I was able to run Fix permissions as I had had 1 app hanging and thought it might help. The batt. app was the last to be used and I followed instructions to a "T" phone was fine.
All of a sudden my phone starts loosing access to the sd card (Icons turn to default green) but eventually load. Soon the phone says sd card damaged. I safely removed the card ran it through Win 7 error check and it found a few errors which it repaired. I reinstalled the card to find the same error "SD card Damaged". I formatted another 8gb sd card and installed it into the phone. This time it would not even recognize the card. A few restarts later and again it found it but again damaged sd card error. I booted the phone into test and sometimes it would recognize other times not. I cleared the NAND Flash and reformatted the Sd card (Started Fresh) Same issues as before but now randomly the phone won't wake up once it has gone to Sleep (Standby) without a battery removal. I again reset the phone this time using recovery boot and cleared the data and cache I reformatted again a NEW SD card 1gb and same problems exist damaged/missing sd errors Not able to come out of sleep "Sleep Of Death" as I have heard it called and now wifi is acting up at my work (Not Home) in this sort of loop.
***When I do not have an sd card installed the phone works as it did before, these problems only arise when an SD card is physically installed on the device.
Recap:
Problems:
1. Phone not recognizing or SD card is Damaged error
2. "Sleep of Death" Not waking up after standby (Manual or auto and randomly)
3. Wifi loop never connect. (May be router and completely separate issue)
Attempted Fixes:
1.Hard Reset(Clear NAND Flash/Cache/Data)
2. Reformat and multiple different SD cards
3.Attempt to debug with SDK ADT(See Below please)
4.Reading countless page after page on forum after forum(Now I come to the pros)
After plugging my phone into my PC (Win 7 32bit) I discovered that there was no driver support for my (Again LAME) device. Much less any other type of help from Cherry Mobile. So I followed the instructions from xda and other forums to no avail. I still have no way of installing the driver on my PC to allow SDK to work.
RE: Mt65xx Android Driver.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1164957
So here is where I am at.
To all you amazing Mobile Tech wizards here at XDA I humbly ask for your help.
1.)Is my problem Hardware, Software, or Firmware based?
2.)Is there a way to repair it?
3.)If the way to repair it is through SDK how do I correctly install the driver I downloaded on my Win 7 PC?
4.)I saw commands in a forum for SDK ADT like rebuild Network, Files etc. Am I barking up the wrong tree?
5.) Is there anyone out there that can help me!!!!
One last time I thank you in advance for any and all help with my phone. ~Daniel

[Q] Music file transfer issue with new sd card

Hello xda peeps
I recently bought a new 32gb Kingston, class 4 sd card for my SII (ics)
I put the card into my phone, connected my phone to my desktop through the usb, and no matter how many different ways i try to transfer my music files onto the card, it fails. I have tried connecting through the USB mass storage utilities option, i have tried through MTP (although this wasn't available as an option until i downloaded and installed Kies), and i have also tried through Kies.
With each option, the files will transfer up to a certain point - around 15 albums or so, then after that, the files either don't copy across at all, or when i do manage copy them, they are totally corrupted, and they sound like they are skipping almost how a cd would skip if it is scratched or something. The actual files are fine (checked on my desktop) and i have copied files across in the past using the same computer (different sd card - 16gb Sandisk), same usb cable (although i have tried using a different one just in case), ao i am at a bit of a loss as to what is happening?!
I may still be in the dark ages somewhat with my desktop as i am running XP, but i didn't think this would be a problem really if i was simply connecting with USB mass storage or MTP and just dragging and dropping files.
Any ideas? The last thing i can really think of is that it is a dodgy sd, but does anybody here have any idea of any other issues which might be the problem?
Many thanks in advance!
Will
Sounds like the card to me. A way to check would be to find a PC (or buy a cheap one; I can pick one up for <$20 here) with a card reader & see what happens trying to transfer files that way & then putting card in the phone.
If that works OK, you could always try a full format of the card in Windows as well & then try transferring files again.

thanks for the reply, and yeah, i suspect it most likely is the card - the last thing to try really is what you suggest - trying to copy the files through a card reader in a laptop. I'll also try formatting in the pc as previously i've been formatting in my SII
One thing that was puzzling me a tad though and i did find a bit curious was that until i installed Kies onto my desktop, the option of MTP was not there. When the 'action' dialogue box popped up on screen, there was no option to open the folder to explore - it just gave me options to either transfer files using WMP or Photoshop. Similarly, when i opened up 'My computer', it was not showing as an external drive.
This was leading me to think that maybe there was some kind of conflict that i was unaware of using an old XP
Thanks again!
Installing Kies would have installed up to date drivers which probably activates MTP; Samsung may not have supplied M$ up to date drivers for XP directly/to include in Windoze Update maybe ?
No worries Hope you get it sorted, if it's still giving you dramas after trying those couple of things, post to this thread & I'm sure someone will have other ideas to try.
Edit - Had a lightbulb moment. If your phone is rooted/you're running a kernel with CWRecovery, you could try formatting the external SD card from there. One thing to be aware of if you try this, make sure you know the mount points for external/internal SD for the particular rom you're using; make sure internal is internal/external is external or whether they're swapped around like they used to be (might still be on some roms ?) on some roms. Last thing you want to do is accidentally format your internal SD

Cheers! And yeah i'm sure i'll be back later if things don't work!
Phone isn't rooted - just got stock 4.0.4 running, and all i've tried is formatting it through the phone so far - I'll try through a laptop later
Just an update on this.
Seems like it was a card issue. Put the card into a laptop, formatted, opened it up, tried to copy files over & the same thing happened. It told me all files copied successfully, but when i put it into my phone, the majority of the files were missing.
Thanks for the help!

[Q] cm7 cannot save to internal sd

Hello. I.ve checked the first 40 pages of the forum and have seen this posted before but with no answers. I.m running cm7 on a 16gb NT, and for the most part, everything is good. However, I want to use my internal space to save things to, like pictures from the internet, etc. Whenever I try now, a message says I Don.t have an external SD card installed, which I Don.t, but I have almost 8 gigs of internal space I.d like to use. Also the media player installed with cm7 says no SD card installed. Surely there must be a way to use the internal space and have the apps detect it as an SD card?
There is a way, I haven't tried myself, that involves swapping internal with external memory, by tweaking build.prop and vold.fstab files. This makes the internal memory external, though the label remains as the original.
And you don't have 8gb internal memory (unless you reparationed it) but 1gb only.
when i go to storage in settings, it says i have 5.5G of internal storage and 7.45G of additional storage under /mnt/media. i haven't repartitioned anything myself, but this was a pre-owned nook, so maybe the original owner did. also, i do have the "internal storage" box checked in cyanogen settings... Any ideas? Or do you have more info on the file editing?

^^ link above is the method but for cm10 where storage is mounted as storage 0 and 1, in cm7 its emmc and SD card (or something like that)
So does anyone have the exact commands to use for cm7 in the fstab? Also, will I be adding these lines or replacing ones already there?
Does anyone have an answer for this? Its hard to believe all the NT owners out there are contented letting all that space go to waste...
Well, I'm not letting any space go to waste!. I put lots of stuff in my internal storage. Either I put it there when transferring from PC, or I transfer files between sd-card and internal.
But that's beside the point.
Check over in the Nook Color section and maybe you can find useful info there. I know it was discussed and solved for CM7 on the Color. Shouldn't be too different for the Tablet. One would think... and possibly be terribly wrong...
( I don't think there is a huge interest in CM7 for the NT any more.)
Has this issue been addressed in cm10? Does the nook recognize the extra internal space as a place to save stuff to from the internet and read files from like with media players? Sorry for being meticulous about this, but I bricked my other NT messing around trying to access this space (I unmounted and formatted it and believe I wiped my internal partitions) and don't want to mess up this one as well. Thanks for any help...
There doesn't seem to be an easy fix for this in CM10. However much I would appreciate having it done I don't think it's worth taking risks messing with things I don't understand, so I pop in an sd-card to keep the apps that want it happy. (Those of you that have more of a clue might think differently though.)
Things I want to stay on the Nook I put internally like I said in my previous post. Pictures, some books, soma PDF magazines, a couple of film clips... All in my internal "MyFiles" folder.
And how do you open those files, with a file explorer or with actual programs? Because like I said right now, even if I did have music stored in that internal space, the media player is telling me there is no sd card inserted and therefore won't even search for any music files.
I open from a file explorer and it asks me what I want to use and if to set to default the first time.
Edit: And also (I had to go check this to be sure I wasn't remembering wrong), once opened with Gallery the app seems to "remember" that there are albums in eMMc as well and they show up wvwn with sd removed. This is in CM10, mind you, if it acts differently in CM7 I wouldn't know.
More edit: I now checked on the kids' Nook Color running CM7, and both QuickPic and MX Player allow you through settings to decide where it looks for media. I still prefer going through a file explorer though.
and now we come to another issue... i cannot for the life of me get my computer to recognize my nook properly. i was going to add the files from my computer and then locate them with a file explorer, but when i connect it, either through the regular cm7 interface or through CWM, the computer cannot access the internal drives. it sees the nook, because 2 more drives open up, but i don't think i have the correct drivers, because it doesn't show up in ADB either. when i do adb devices, it comes up blank. the driver now lists the nook as Android ADB interface, don't know if thats correct or not, but doesn anyone have the proper windows 7, 64 bit drivers for this? nothing i've tried can gain access to those drives, or having the nook come up in adb...
Is this the first time you try to transfer files from PC to Nook? Has it been working before? Just to know if something has suddenly gone wrong .
You should get a prompt at the Nook telling you to enable USB storage or something like that. You probably need to go to settings and enable USB debugging or somethig similar as well.
Edit: I have never ever used ADB, so I have no clue how to fix things there!! I just use regular Windows File Explorer.

Are you running cm7 alpha? I think there was this problem in that but was fixed in beta
yes this is my first time trying to transfer files from the PC to the Nook, I installed cm7 as soon as I got it (which was this xmas). I don't have my computer on right now, but I'm 99% sure when I unzipped the release it said beta. Team-B version. nothing ever pops up on the Nook or the computer screen when I plug it in, I can only see the drives that get added to my computer, but can't access them.
After plugging to PC via USB you should get prompt on tablets notification bar. Did you get that?

ok i see the notification on the bar and it says usb debugging connected. when i click on it, it brings me to the settings mentioned in that other thread that asawi linked, but the android debugging mode is already checked. i followed that other thread and it turns out that guys cable was bad, so i tried the other cable i had that came with my other NT and still no luck. i doubt both cables i got could be bad... any other ideas?
Edit: ok queer. i restarted the nook while the cable was plugged in, and then i did get the usb storage connection option. however, after i hit connect, i don't see the drives in my computer. so i updated the driver automatically, and it went from android phone back to usb composite device. then i the drives popped up in my computer, but i still can't connect to them. i tried adb throughout all these options and i didn't get the NT to show up in the devices list at all.
You don't get the " turn on USB Storage"? There's usually 2 notifications when connecting. The setting you mention and the "turn on USB storage"

[Q] Win 7 PC Won't Open Rezound's Greyed-Out "Removable Disks"

Verizon HTC Rezound, rooted, using stock ROM with some bloatware uninstalled. Android 4.0.3 (4.03.605.2 710RD, received OTA from Verizon ages ago... I really haven't messed much with this phone).
Windows 7 Pro (both my laptop and my desktop... I've tried this two places now).
Whenever I plug it into one of my computers, I can only open the drive that has TL-Bootstrap.exe and the drv and img folders. The SD card and the internal storage (faked SD card, I guess it is) come up as Removable Disks, but they're greyed out and I can't open them in Windows Explorer. I don't get a popup for connection type whenever I connect the phone to a computer, but I have gone in the settings and set it to ask every time and also to default to disk drive.
I've cleaned my system of drivers, installed HTC_BMP_USB_Driver_x64_1.0.5375.msi and HTCDriver_4.2.0.001.exe and the drivers appear to have installed correctly. I don't think this is a computer problem... I'm thinking it's a Rezound problem. Phone works fine otherwise, and I can see the SD card using Astro and/or Root Explorer.
I've tried it with USB Debugging on and USB Debugging off. Fastboot is off.
I've uninstalled almost every program (I'm going to wipe it and give it to a friend, but want to fix this issue first).

Guess this phone is kind of a dead model, eh?
Download the latest HTCSync and install as administrator.
Try a live Linux CD... I am guessing this is more a PC config than anything else.
If all else fails, use ES Explorer or something similar and copy every thing to external SD and do a factory default with the card removed and try again

[Q] Super slow file transfers over USB

I only use the internal memory on my Rezound, not a removable micro-SD card. Prior to rooting and installing a custom ROM, copying large files to the phone by USB was pretty quick. That was with ICS and I understand that since Android 4.2.2 you can only connect by MTP or mass storage mode. But now copying files TO the internal storage is extremely slow (about 1.4 MB/second). It's not the cable itself, as copying files FROM the internal storage to the computer goes quick, like it used to. Could the internal memory be formatted improperly? The drivers for the phone on my Win 7 computer (64 bit) looked like generic Microsoft USB drivers, but when I tried to update with drivers made available with the HTC Sync app, Windows didn't allow it, saying the drivers it was using were the most current. Copying from the computer to other USB devices like flash memory sticks is quick and fine, like always. Thanks for any help.

MTP uses the generic Microsoft drivers, it just looks like a media (player/camera) device to the computer, HTC sync drivers are not used anymore for normal file transfers.
What ROM are you using? Have you tried multiple ones with the same result?

Right now it's the LiquidSmooth v3.2, and earlier in the week I was trying the most recent Tachyon (4.3.1). When I was using Tachyon, I had a problem where the internal storage was not visible or useable. It showed up again after the wipe in preparation for the LS install.
I'm also perplexed because my battery life is pretty bad, which is in contrast to what most people say about LS v3.2. I'm a noob and wonder if I could have missed a subtle step or setting, even though I have spent lots of time reading, studying, prepping and learning. I don't actually use this Rezound as a phone, it's just a learning project and I use it as a standalone media player and occasional email/browser situation on wifi.
Thank you.

The internal storage gets weird sometimes on newer ROMs... if a wipe returned it you are probably all right, a "wipe" also does a format. You would probably be safe to go back to Tachyon if you wish... Always wipe twice all partitions, and I would recommend using a microSD card, most ROMs expect to see both internal and external storage, even if it is just a small 4GB or 8GB card. I have not heard of people specifically mentioning MTP transfers being that slow, but it is definitely slower than standard direct mount access as was used in ICS and prior Android versions.
Battery life on the Rezound has always been bad by comparison to other devices, 1.5 to 2 hours screen time is about the best it can do on a standard battery in nearly new condition. Since you are using it without mobile data service activated, make sure to disable mobile data.
Also, I would recommend going S-OFF... Rezounds seem to be dying lately due to failed internal storage, if you are S-ON there is often no recovery option to restore service, when S-OFF we have more options. I recommend using Rumrunner S-OFF (Google it, it's easy to find), make sure to do a backup in recovery before hand since the process often makes the phone unbootable after it is initially complete.
