Games stutter like hell on ICS - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've been using CM9 for some time and recently updated to stock ICS... I've felt it before in CM9, but thought that it'll be fixed with samsung's update, but it's not. Games, especially 3d games stutter like hell, they are unplayable. I remember I've been playing Dungeon Defenders Second Wave on HC 3.0 and it was perfectly smooth... now? It just sucks. Did anyone else notice it? Why is that so? Is there any way to fix it without downgrading to HC? I use 3G version.
Regards.

I'm on stock ICS and downloaded asphalt 7 yesterday... Runs buttery smooth

Hi,
Did you try, or can try Dungeon Defenders Second Wave, Backstab, or Order & Chaos? Maybe I just keep hiting unoptimized games... Unfortunately I don't have asphalt 7 and Im completely broken right now so I can't buy it and check. But Dungeon Defenders is free. Gameplay itself is not perfectly smooth, but playable. It stutters for example at the beginning of new wave. Would you spare a moment to tell if you have the same, or does your tab perform better? Also, can you tell precisely what version of rom you are using?
I use XXLQ8 rooted and deodexed.
Thank you in advance.

Freeze on HD games on ICS

Hi, first of all im a AOSP and AOKP rom user since i updated to ics I only tried sammy ICS once (dxlp7) I know its outdated many new release now a days from sammy guys.
Got several issues on playing games on AOSP and AOKP roms it freezes a lot with continues repeating sound and some games doesnt even work like riptide gp.
My question is does latest sammy ICS roms (dxlp9 or xwlp9) has the same freezing issues while playing hd games
Does riptide gp works on sammy ics?
Does temple run freeze with repeating sounds?
Thanks a lot btw i move back to checkROM but i missed ics ui and features.

I'm using WanamLite 11.2 XWLP8 Base, and yes Riptide does tend to freeze every now and then, but sometimes i can play for almost an hour and it plays smooth. The freezing has never been bad enough for me to be bothered by it.
Not every HD games work fine on ics, only the latest version run well.
I played temple run on ics specially im on wanamlite v11.5, no freeze at all.
Update to the latest version of riptide gp, maybe it will work.

Actually the problem with temple run is that it is based on unity 3d engine.... and unity still doesn't supports ics.... the devs know the problem but they cannot do anything until unity gets android 4.0.3 support..

On wanamlite is there an option to hide or display am/pm or hide the clock on the status bar?

Well,I've seen a looooot of problems with these custom roms ,gamewise, I haven't tried these games with stock ics though,I don't like stock ics that much so it really does suck that we can't play hd games,I'll give it a try and will come back as soon as I discover something new, let's help each other here, what do you guys think? I really want my sgs2 to be able to okay games, it sucks that having such an amazing phone we aren't able to play quality games, right?

I don't know how I do working Nova 3 on My Ray!! I've Stock GB 4.0.2.A.0.62 rooted...
Check out my tutorial in my signature if you want to optimize your Xperia Ray for gaming
you can use lightweight rom that do not have much preinstalled apps..setting your low memory killer to more aggresive..and overclock only a little if it still laggy cause prolonged oc can damage your hardware since ray is compact phone...
I would recommend using superleggera. It's very light. I do not encounter lags nor FCs while playing. Good luck choosing, mate!

Anyone got it to work with the latest JB leak li8

Real Racing 2 works fine for me - from the Samsung App store, when it was free for a limited time.

Real Racing 2 Sometimes Hangs And Required A Reboot. ( But Then It's Always Done That)
NOVA 3 Initially Did Not Work From Titanium Backup Restore But After Re-Installing From The Market Was All Good.

If Unrooted
Its a new device the software is not yet fully optimised for the phone(Talking Stock rom here) And the company has other priorities so guess wait for next update or a custom rom(Cyanogenmod , Miui,etc).Till then limit your background processes dont install too many apps that run in the background or get cached(Facebook,Whatsapp,Maps,some free games etc) and disable the system apps you dont use.
Another alternative is waiting for the game to use lesser resources(Lower memory footprint try mailing the developer for it and explain about the lag).
If rooted
Congrats if you are already on a debloated rom the main thing left to do is to get V6 Supercharger its a sctipt for memory optimisation here is the link

Lags on many top-end phones too.
Plants vs Zombies works well, but lags a bit if the screen gets really busy; hell, it lags the same on my quad-core laptop.
MAME4droid seems to work smoothly for those I've tested, mainly pre-90s games
Angry Birds Star Wars so far works smoothly
JFrotz zips along nicely. But then again, JFrotz zips along nicely on everything....
Subway Surf, a pretty cool game, runs but its a bit laggy. If there were 5-6 frames more per second it would run smoothly :/
Game that work for me.
Dead Trigger works awesome! When there is a lot of zombies in the map at ones it can be a bit laggy, but its really good. Shadowgun, same there. Bad Piggies works good for me, but it does not work as good as i want it to, it can lag a bit sometimes for me. DragonVale, Jetpack Joyride, Where's My Water and Minecraft PE works awesome. Brainsss is somewhat laggy, but it's ok. Subway Surfers is laggy but playable. Lane Splitter runs very good.
That's about it
Some popular ones
I have some very nice games with no lag from EA:
-Need for speed Most Wanted
-FIFA 12
-Mass Effect Infiltrator
-Battlefield BC2
-NBA Jam
-Dead Space
Also some nice ones from GLU (but there is a bug at almost all games-some characters are transparent)
-Frontline Comando (bug)
-COD: BOZ
-Bombshells: Hells Belles
-Contract killer 1/2 (2 has the bug)
There are other very nice games like: Minecraft PE, Shadowgun, Dead trigger, Temple Run, etc.
leon
So we cant play something cool like modern combat ?
PS: I try Dead Space and its cool
I got the following games running
- Eufloria - lags a little bit, but playable
- Sword and sworcery - runs perfectly
- Crayon physics
- Cogs
Temple run 2 works awesome... No lags at all...

3D Offline RPGs for android!

Heyo!
I'm a gamer, whether on PC, Console and even on Android. Apperantly, I have a habbit of hacking. In this case, I hack android games with GameCIH/GameKiller/GameGuardian. This is because I like to enjoy the game to fullest extent. Anyway, to get to the point, I'm looking for 3D offline RPGs. My taste is like that of God of War, and GameLoft's Wild Blood was probably the best rpg I played offline that is very much like God of War. However it gets very boring after you finish the game. I've also played and finished Earth and Legend. Any other games out there that I can play offline anywhere + able to hack? I've tried Zenonia, Eternal Warriors, and some others, but they ask to terminate a memory hacking program to play or unhackable. Please feel free to suggest off your own experience. Some other games I love and still have are NFS Most Wanted, GTA Vice City, N.O.V.A 3, and the regulars like Subway surfers, temple run etc. THANKS!

AW: 3D Offline RPGs for android!
Aralon - Sword and Shadow (Sequel called Ravensword is hitting play Store, too in some days/weeks. Both can be easily compared to Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim. Really feels like an Elder Scrolls game.)
Horn (ignore the bad reviews in Play Store, it's because its exclusive for Tegra, but buying is not restricted, so everyone buys, not everyone can play)
Pocket RPG (Really awesome little Action RPG, although it is more action than RPG)
Zenonia, Illusia, Destinia, Inotia and so on (Japanese, well at least japanese styled, RPGs)
Delver (Retro Roque style is in alpha)
Dungeon Explorer / Deadly Dungeons (Dungeon crawler, pretty fun collecting awesome loot, fighting some monsters)
EDIT: Thanks to huzi for reminding me.

AFAIK, requires android 4.0, so either way is still out of our reach... for now....
EDIT: On Google play for my country, an user claims that version 1.21 is working fine on his LG Optimus 2x (tegra2), so we only need proper ICS (Go! kernel dev team!)

I personally don't think so. Think its just too demanding, because other games work as good as on Gingerbread or even better. NFS Shift for example.

Yes but certain games are just broken on 4.0+ for the Atrix. All the ROMs say "graphical bugs" so maybe that has something to do with it? Either way we'll know for sure in a few weeks
I was really looking forward to RavenSword Shadowlands since I really liked Aralon. Though I was doleful to find out that it is only compatible with android 4.0+. I currently run MROM CM7 and find it to be the best most stable rom for atrix. I've tried others but I am most likely to default this rom. I just hope that they release a version of the game compatible with 2.x version... or I'll just have to switch back to JB just for the heck of playing that game.

Better not do that till a stable HWA capable kernel is put forward.
BTW, Try Soulcraft THD. I am still in the process of downloading aditional files due to crappy internet but by the trailer and screenshots it seems pretty much like an android version for Torchlight 2/Diablo-3 (top down 3D RPG/warcraft like).
P.S Heroes of Destiny isnt offline RPG and requires Internet connection for Experience/Upgrade/Dungeons. You are pretty much limited with nothing in offline mode.
Also,
Try Syphon Filter series for Playstation 1 with PSX emulator for android. Runs pretty fluid. (3rd Person Shooter RPG)
i like playing Illusia and Inotia 4 ! i think Inotia 4 its from Korean.

Wow!!
I'm havin troules downloading the sd data (crappy internet) now i'm trying to download from pc and move it to the phone, I guess that it is not illegal since the app was purchased from the play store.
EDIT:
So i've finished downloading the data....
And..... The game runs awesomply smooth!!! Sincerely, I was specting low framerate, or even a crash, but it was beautiful. only a slowdown (not low fps, the game went in slow motion) and the rest 10 points
Here is the youtube video that i recorded (sorry for the out of focus image, it was recorded with a very old kodak camera, that was the best it could do at close range)
