Hello. Recently I have installed Android 2.3.3 on it because I wanted to play some 3D games and they lag like hell.
I've got some HD games like Splinter Cell Conviction and BattleField Bad Company 2 and both are lagging really bad.
For Splinter Cell Conviction, the textures don't even load! Everything is white except the characters.
Also GTA 3 lags like crap. Maybe 2 or 1 frames per second.
I've heard I needed to go into this rom file in the system called "build.prop" and change a line :debug.composition.type=gpu" to "debug.composition.type=mdp"
I did and it didn't do a damn thing.
Maybe in 5 years I'm going to get a reply. This forum is dead.
maybe someone witb more game experience on the ds5 will come along....but i would lime to add,i would try setcpu,and put it in performance mode before playing the game,to see if theres a difference....perf mode will run bat down fast tbough

Maybe you should get your money back...

Too late to get my money back.
Also I've tried just now SetCPU and OC'ed to 1.19GHz.
Games still lag but not as bad. They run better. Any App to OC the GPU?
GTA 3 Still lags like crap.
besides setcpu to overclock....did you put it in "performance mode" which forces it to full speed all the time...but will drain batt down fast if not plugged in....also im running dsc.63 it can overclock to 1267,i run it in consertive or ondemand(still trying to find best setting)then run in performance mode if gaming(i set in call profiles to max cpu)....i was wondering about the chainfire app for gaming...but cant remember name

Hi guys, the game works fine for a couple of mins, until the phone starts heating and well , it starts lagginggggg. Multiplayer works fine, but single player is just killing me. Problems only occur when phone starts to warm up. Anyone facing this issue?
More info : Strafing and scrolling "view" seems to be lagging, as though frame-rate just dropped or something. I've reinstalled and uninstalled, downloaded data and still, the same outcome. Multiplayer is as smooth as
Please tell me this isnt just meeee
im alone?????
Ive only played the first mission. it does not lag or overheat like you mention,although i do notice the frames drop in some areas becoming slightly laggy.online gaming is great.i hate that the game crashes and restarts sometimes in online play
Have some apps running in the background?
I also experience UHT moment when i play gameloft games.. but theres no continuous lag, only stutters on some area..
You may also need to check that your governor wasn't on conservative..

Got no framerate issue here. Try looking for a newer version.

Hmm, im on the latest version. 1.0.1. What im getting is the BLURISH effect when scrolling views. Im pretty sure its a framerate drop. Ive got MC3 running alone, no background apps. Its literally killing me. Ive tried 5 different kernels, and Im sure im not overclocking or underclocking the cpu. Im using stock rom though. Would cyanogenmod help improve the gameplay? Any good roms that still preserve the samsung qwerty keyboard?
I have this issue too. I have a Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100, Noble Black, 2.3.5, stock ROM, kernel XWKJ1 (also stock), NO ROOT
At some point (fire or many trees or something) the game is lowering the FPS. I didn't noticed that for example on Sensation XL (which has 1.5 singlecore and even higher screen resolution than my phone has) and i didn't saw a single lag.
I made a video about this problem and posted it on youtube here it is:
I suppose this problem is related to my stock ROM or even my stock kernel... something similar is happening with backstab but there it's not that annoying since it's not a FPS game

YES YES Im not alone. Thats the problem. I wonder if its due to the stock rom...
Got the game no issue here. im rooted on slimrom with siyah kernel, not overclocked but undervolted so it doesnt heat up so much. Fyi shadow gun is a really good game as well
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
No issues here.
Well,it even happens on my device,which is overclocked,both the CPU(1600MHz) and the GPU(400MHz).It seems to only happen when there is smoke on the screen.Doesn't happen in any other case.
Feel like flashing a new rom. Gonna get a usb jig first...
Btw, any roms to recommend?
@androidkid:slimrom running touchwiz?

Because it has another much weaker GPU, therefore it has much lower graphical quality settings. It's like playing on Low and the GSII on very high.

Well,even if it is so,it's unacceptable,as it's definitely a fault on Gameloft's part.The game is,once again like other Gameloft titles,more or less badly coded.It uses too much GPU.I can play ShadowGun with 16x MSAA(Using CF3D) for hours and the phone just gets warm,while I can't play MC3 for nearly as long and the device burns.Before anyone tries to say that it's because MC3 has so super awesome graphics,it's not the cause.Our GPU doesn't overheat,even when overclocked.Excessive heat is only generated by the CPU.So,try playing ShadowGun and MC3 with 500MHz or 800MHz CPU.ShadowGun still plays as awesome as before,while MC3 lags.
We should contact Gameloft me thinks...

Yeah...Ok,so what's the next best game you said?

Car drive
Try the map where your using a minigun and escaping with a truck/car (dont remember the map name)
the fps drops from stable 60 to under 20 impossible to, win the level through with hard
Hmm which governor are you using? i just know that lulzactive is kinda bad if it comes to gaming. try out some stock governors like ondemand, conservative or performance.

Tried all, only choice is to run stock rom, like cm7... Btw guys, if I use chainfire and download the game under "Adreno", would it work

Now play GTA3.
Hi there to all!!! I've been flashing various Android Roms for a few yrs now & really enjoy trying out new custom roms etc... Now i have a weird problem, Most customs Roms I have tried for my S3 i9300 are great & most 4.3 Roms come with a Custom Kernel such as Beoffla, GoogyMax, devil kernel & so on.... Now the problem is when leaving the CPU at defualt governer & settings everything is fine eg: min 200 & max 1400 but games lag now & again, When setting the CPU min & Max settings to 1400MHz, the results are much better but not for long, The CPU always drops to 800MHz when gaming as i notice the lagg, I've noticed this same thing with just about every kernel & rom ive tried wether its set to 1400 or even overclocked to 1500 or 1600max, I've also tried every trick to make them settings stick , like trickster mod etc, none seem to work for long, its like another system service is interfering with the settings or so.....im pulling my hair out to figure out what this is, I just want the CPU min & max to stay firmly at 1400Mhz or 1500 etc....without changing at all!!!
Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated.... FlashJunkie83

CPU/GPU can under-perform if they get too hot from playing resource-intensive games or apps. Maybe this is the issue.

hey yea would make sense but when running rooted stock 4.1.2 with stock kernel, this doesnt happen at all, i can set performance governer in set cpu & it stays at 1400 Mhz throughout, also i would of thought a Cpu thats ment to run at 1400 would be fine to do so all the time as its ment to be able to... even with a little heat behind it... its still only doing what its ment to lol, i remember in the days of my s2, i could push the cpu to 1200mhz & it would happily stay there even tho it got hot lol, im really sure its a system thing that upsets the cpu frequency, other than that there must be a way to stop the cpu/gpu from under-performing with a little heat..... thanks for reply tho dude....

@FlashJunkie83
- High temp will always cause freq throttling since this is how devices are designed. This over-rides whatever the max freq the cpu was designed to run on.
- try undervolting from the boefla config app (if you use the boefla kernel). I use -25mV with almost no difference to performance. Some users have gone on to -50mV but that gave me random freezes and massive lags sometimes.
- Test different governors. I mostly use the default pegasusq and it works well enough. Constantly high freq can affect the CPU in the long-term. So I use max freq of 800mhz and increase it to 1400mhz only when I play games.
- I'm not a fan of SetCPU. It's a great app but i find specific apps (like boeffla config) for kernels to be more precise.
- You can also try a different battery and borrow one from a friend to test it out. I had slight heating issues long ago and changing the battery reduced the heat for me somehow. It was not much, but it was enough for me to notice.

thanks mate will give it a go

finally fiqured it out, it seems that cynogenmod has a diffrent approach to thermal throttling as ive flashed CM10.2.0 Android 4.3.1 along with Boeffla 2.1 for CM & the issue seems to have gone completely, have been running a performance test on games for best part of the day at 1600MHz with 4 enabled cores & just going back to normal settings for normal daily use, & not 1 issue with throttling, so now im very happy with the smoothness in games although its gets warm, but most high performance CPU's do anyways,So ive come to the conclusion that thermal throttling must be handled more by sammy roms it seems, but got the result i wanted in the end, thanks for all replies tho guys

Hey folks , I got some strange problems with my phone here.
So,what's my story about. My gaming performance just suddenly got bad. Before,I was on official 4.3 with everything stock and games ran flawlessly. Then I flashed AOSP ROM and everything still worked as it should (games didn't lag) and I was on AOSP for more than 4 months.
Now,I flashed back stock sammy-based ROM , and only after 4 days,I noticed that gaming performance is really bad.
Let's start from the fact that only god knows what I've done with my phone today to fix that, but I was unsucsessful. I changed ROMs,kernels,tweaked my phone,overclocked it,but nothing , games still lag like hell. Real Racing 3 has BIG fps drops,dead trigger 2 (low) has some lag spikes and some fps drops,too. Now I downloaded modern combat 4 and it was unplayable! I haven't flashed stock with odin,as my computer doesn't read my phone in download mode (again!),so I'm lazy to do it on other computer. But still thinking of that. Maybe at least very official ROM is the last hope.
So,can anyone help me? This is the first problem which I can't fix and that's bothering me,though I already got used to fact that now I may have to live without gaming,lol. Not a big problem,as for now. But really? What can be the cause? What's wrong with my phone? Why is UI smooth,why can't I see any lag when watching HD videos and etc, but games lag so badly? Look how good my score in antutu is (no overclocking,cpu and gpu - everything stock):
If you are using a custom kernel disable zram. Real racing 3 will lag when offers are loaded at the title screen. If you get lag in game then you have something else going on.
System panel on the playstore can help you see what is going on. Also disable dvfs with the xposed module as that causes issues with overclocked devices.

I'm not overclocked.
Btw,will try and report back. Thanks!
EDIT: Helped partially,like 20%,but still lags,just less fps drop downs. Thanks for trying to help!
Anyone else. Would like to fix this issue.
No one?
I have similar problem (just posted a help thread about it), in my case it's thermal throttling which is scaling down CPU to 800MHz after 5 mins of playing heavy games. try running CPU analyzer from System Tuner and check if that's the problem.

Sometimes the games lag but not like u mentioned.. If u want a stock 4.3 that is flashable via recovery and you can have great performance then i have one.. I really have and own it

So I have recently got my k20 pro and joined the family. Now I have a question, how is the game performance on graphic heavy games for you? I am using the miui global and I can say I am not impressed. You might think that there shouldn't be a game that works slow on this phone but try Marvel Future Fight (yeah not everyone plays pubg) and my fps was so unstable it was even going below 30 time to time. I will now root my phone and try to change the cpu governor (as schedutil is not a good governor for performance) but I wonder if others have tested out different games and different roms with similar experience. I saw some people doing gpu overclock but I actually dont want to do that for now. And I saw a custom kernel so I wonder its performance as well.
For me the performance is quite good
Graphics heavy games? No problem at all
List of games that I've played :
- Traha
- Call Of Duty Mobile
- Perfect World
- Black Desert M
- Vainglory
All of that with maxed out graphics @60fps
ROM : xiaomi.eu
Antutu : 377k
Overclocked : -

hmm xiaomi eu might actually be better than original miui. Are you rooted btw? do you use kernel auditor?
Also thanks for reminding black desert I didn't realize it was released
Nope, im not rooted n didn't use kernel auditor
i noticed, the best so far is xiaomi. eu is the best so far

you have to disable google voice match to avoid this, and sometimes it breaks so you have to reboot but it hapens once every 3 months or so
Playing honkai impact 3 on max, 60 fps. Works without lag but the phone heats up. Global stable latest version
I'll try playing a game on Pixel Experience official if you're curious about the performance. You just have to tell me what game you want me to test.

a long time mff player here , maybe mff doesnt support 60 fps ? also i not yet tested mff on mine k20 pro , but it works ok on mine pocophone , , can stay in game on galactus without crashing
İts great to see a fellow mff player here. I also tried at galactus and I saw fps frops there time to time. (not insane drops but sometimes 30 or so) I was checking fps from game turbo and it supports 60fps

Thanks for the offer. I was able to see fps drop only on marvel future fight so far but I don't think you can test the graphic heavy game modes as you will need to start a new game
