Yes it depends on what rom and which kernel you are using. As now games are made for latest Processor as S2 is 2yrs old phone so it lags in it.

If you are running 4.2.2 or higher on S2, then there can be mistakes because of the driver.. Choose 4.1.2 and you have no pb.

[Q] dropping frames on hd games

Anyone having issues with dropping frames while playing Nova 2 or Modern combat 3? Games seem choppy. I am running pershoots kernal overclocked at 1.4GHZ with set CPU. I was hoping someone had an answer as to why the galaxy is doing this and maybe a fix. My evo running cm 7.1 runs the games smoother. Thanks in advance!!!
The Galaxy doesnt "do" this. Only yours.
Those games runs perfectly on mine, (stock RUXKK2)
I dont know what kind of magical fix your hoping for, but let's get back to earth.
Those are the only possible fixes;
1) Un-overclock your CPU
2) Try another ROM
Most likely your overclocking isnt stable enough, and thermal throttling interferes when you launch ressources-heavy games.
it's running the stock 3.2 rom. I tired the stock kernal and it's even worse then pershoots at 1. 4GHZ. I'm going to try tasks 13.1 slim rom tonight and see if it helps at all.

I've got a P7500 running Overcome 2.2.0, and I also find the framerate is poor in Modern Combat 3
For example, MC3 runs a lot smoother in my SGS2, but I think it's obvious because it has a faster processor and a smaller screen.
Can anyone else post their impressions, please?
Cheers
Wish i could try those, the only Gameloft games that show up as compatible with the verizon galaxy 10.1 is uno and sudoku LOL.
same here, even Fruit Ninja THD lags
im on overcome 2.2.0 with pershoot's kernal
and using setCPU to overclock to 1.4GHz at performance
i also tried without overclock and it lags even more
Either there is some particular issue with Overcome or you are asking too much!
While not being really enjoyable/playable (as any tablet shooter) , I'd say it runs fairly well here on stock rom; at least 20-30fps; no apparent lag that would plague the experience.
Try a stock rom and enlight us;

Yes, of couse it runs @ 20-30 fps, but IMO that's laggy.
I'm not used to play on tablets, so maybe I'm asking for too much.
Thx anyway
The only time my games lag (Modern Combat 3, Nova 2, N64oid) is when I use my ps3 controller. Other than that all my games run smoothly

Dead trigger

guys , after enabling tegra 3 graphics on my s3 for dead trigger
my game has started lagging alot, while playing it stops for 1, 2 seconds and then start again
currently i am on omega rom v9.0
is there any help available ??
thanx guys
Because tegra 3 chipsets are better designed for gaming and as the chipset in the GS3 is Exynos....enabling something designed for tegra 3 on Exynos is bound to cause problems for some....

Do you have chainfire3D installed as well? If yes, they try to disable it, if No, then try to install it.

Not every chip is the same. You probably have some settings that you may have missed, and if not just uninstall it and play it normally.
Or, you can try a new rom.
Try clearing up cache and ram before starting teh game. Also did you try to o/c ur phone? It might help .
BTW can u pls link to how we can enable teg3 effects?

Where did you get that bull**** from? Nvidia? A CPU or GPU for that matter is NOT designed for gaming even if Nvidia tries to make everyone believe that. A processor interprets and executes commands, regardless of what they are for. Some are faster, others are better at multitasking, others have more commands. However it's safe to say that according to most OpenGL benchmarks Exynos shows Tegra3 it's place.
Also did you try to o/c ur phone? It might help .

Overclocking, if done by an inexperienced user (which should be like 99% of the S3 userbase) causes instabilities and hardware damage.
The S3 is enough beast to handle it.

Are you using the paid version of Chainfire3D? If so, try plaing around with the EGL settings.
Afaik Dead Trigger in Tegra3-settings should run buttery smooth on the S3
Your description sounds to me like a memory issue

Running foxhound with Siyah's newest kernel, dead trigger and all other games work well, haven't touched no settings for the cpu but i have enabled tegra's extra effects for dead trigger and it's fine.
Try some different kernels and maybe another rom.

No chainfire doesn't help in enabling ultrasettings. Use This link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1770952 to edit the xml file of the game settings.

Never read so much BS in such a short time.
On my Galaxy s3 (int. edition) the games runs f*cking awesome without any lags on max graphic settings. Tegra3 is inefficient and only kinda comparable to the exynos4 chipset.
@topic starter.
I think the problem is the rom, maybe there are some special tweaks, that affect the gameplay experience on your phone in a negative way.
I play on GL8 Off. Rom, only rooted and some useless apps deactivated, without OC or stuff like that. Runs awesome, just like it should.
I would say, try another good rom, with better gaming reputation.
cheers
This might sound like a stupid question but it has happened here A LOT. For some you that have lag... Are you using the US variant and just asking your question here? Anyway I just placed dead trigger without any lag or problems.

Gameloft games and heat

Hey, so when I play dark knight my phone gets really effin hot quite fast so does anyone else have this issue and is it dangerous? It doesn't get that hot when playing asphalt 7 and I've tried with Sensation rom (ics) and siyah kernel and PA 2.16 with dorimax beta kernel (5.83 something).I haven't overclocked or anything and haven't tried with stock kernel if that makes a difference.

Real Racing 3 working

I noticed how RR3 was incompatible with the Razr (I tried the jellybean leak, and cm10.1 (4.2.2)) so i got this .apk from another phone.
Requirements:
File manager, if not downloaded from phone
Approximately 1.7GB of free space, as listed on Playstore. (I'll be safe and go for 2GB)
Root not needed
Setup:
Simply download .apk, install the .apk, and download content.
(You may have to restart your device if you face graphics issues, such as transparent cars)
If you do not know how to install an apk. watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UOAw124y1s
Any issues please reply
P.S. I installed and downloaded content on cm10.1 (4.2.2)
I can also confirm it works, just did like you some days ago (I was on D-Wiz 3.0.2 ROM at that time).

RR2 did cost money but RR3 is free. RR3 is a freemium game so its based of off in game purchases, so lets say after racing for a while my oil needs to be changed i either wait 5 minutes or buy the RR3 currency with real money.
Omg, this is just so addictive that it makes me whanna spend 500 bucks to get all the cars.... Not!
But Still, this game rock! Ty op!
thanks! downloading

I had this problem, but was solved using D-Wiz rom (JBX 2.0.3). I guess it was due to the max frequency been to low, so the phone couldnĀ“t handle the graphics and downsampled specs.
It works with stock JB

Works, but
It works in official VZW JB 4.1.2 software, but there is a problem; Sound and image quality.
Ive always got an sound echo while playing.It really confused me.
My english is bad....Or even worse than bad....
A freakin question.. haha
I got an annoynig thing that, randomly, when the game's loading a track it CLOSES itself.. and i need to keep trying to get that track to load properly. And i also got these hiccups (sound)on stock 4.1.2! I use the RR3 Graphics to set the gfx to low to make the game running uber smooth.

I swear that i'm looking for some infos about using th D-Wiz rom plus the JBX kernel but i still have this doubt:
- I am on stock JB 4.1.2 (LATAM) plus root and BMM. If i backup my kernel via bmm i could restore it later? Cuz i dont know if the D-Wiz plus the JBX kernel will work straight after the flash process. And the last time that i tried changing the rom (from ICS to European JB) i almost bricked my device.
I am really looking forward using the D-Wiz ROM plus the JBX kernel, but i read on the D-Wiz topic that this ROM is meant only for people with ICS Kernel!
i download all data
when i start the game after 1 sec i got push out
i think rr3 dont match with xt910
playing real Racing 3 for long time , good

Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Nope. Not much point. If there are free ones you'd like testing, let us know.
But I know it struggles with dead trigger if you change the file to allow tegra graphics... so yeah I know it will struggle with the latest and greatest. There was an app that does a graphics test showing an intro of a game. My s3 got 11 fps compared to 60 on a friends nexus 4. If you want gaming, its nexus 4.

S3 is soon to be outdated, games are now being released for phones as strong as the S4.
Maybe get the latest tablet if your looking for an android gaming experience.
