Hi there,
I have a Big Ben Gametab One Gaming tablet, which is a RK3188 Android device.
Softwarewise the tablet has many issues. There are some apps which automatically reinstall after a restart of the device (some preinstalled games). All the emulators work fine. But other games, browsing and other activities tend to freeze and have hickups. The booting of the device takes forover. This leads me to the conclusion that the ROm of the device is pretty bad.
Unfortunately there are no custom ROMs for this device. But I would like to have a better working clean ROM. What can I do to improve the perfomance and have a cleaner ROM?
Any news?

Hi,
I'm very satisfied with my z2 tablet.
But: While gaming Dead Trigger, GTA Vice City and Modern Combat 4 I experience an audio delay of approx. 0.5 - 0.7 seconds. Every other app including other games e.g. Asphalt 8 and videoplayback runs just fine without any audio delay.
Does anybody else encounter such a delay while gaming one of the abovementioned games?
thanks in advance

Yes, I can confirm it playing riptide! However I think this is a software problem which will most probably be fixed soon...

I can confirm that with several emulators. e.g. ePSXe or SuperN64 (Mupen)
I'm also getting this, I noticed it when playing worms 2 and the new walking dead game. Has anyone heard of an upcoming fix?
I have the bug too...
I am also facing this issue when playing worms 2. Anyone else? It also seems to be present in Netflix according to some users at talk.Sonymobile.com forums.
Try disabling all sound improvements

I think I tried that, as in using default settings in the equaliser. Did you have problems aswell and it solved it for you.

On mine, there is an equalizer setting called off. I don't think equalizer does much harm though, no matter what setting. It is just that sound improvement are digital filters and in nature will always introduce some delay and processing overhead. Of course it should not cause such a noticeable delay however the more processing involved the more error sources. In order to locate an error, you need to minimize the variables. Therefore if disabling all sound modifications help, you can then start to enable them one by one an see if and when the problem reoccur and what causes it.
I have not experienced the problem, however I hardly have sound on anything (especially games, though I don't play much) unless the sound is what matters, because of a health issue making me very sound/noise sensitive.
With the latest update (.402) the audio delay has been reduced sharply, but is still there from what I can tell.
What are your experiences?

I have the bug in Worms 2 and it's off by some ms. First I uninstalled it and reinstalled which worked. When I tried today it was suffering from the bug again. I then tried to clear app data which worked - but only for one session! Closing the game and starting the game again made the bug come back. So I tried to wipe app data and restart, sound in sync again... But only for one session. Maybe someone smarter than me can tell me why this happens?
Reply from Sony
I got fed up with the audio delay (in games not so annoying, but for video much more irritating) and wrote Sony about it. It is only the Z2 tablet that has problem with these apps, the apps work fine on my other Android devices.
Sony's reply was that they don't care:

Dear Gnopps,
Thank you for contacting Sony Xperia Support.
We are sorry to hear about the problem you are experiencing with your Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet.
Does the audio delay occur in built in apps? Unfortunately we can not guarantee compatibility with third party apps and are unable to provide you support on them or a fix to your solution. We recommend you to contact the app developers for further information and support.
Kind Regards,
Sony Xperia Support, SE.

I havent fixed it yet, the only app I have problems with is Worms 2 and it works if I clear app cache. I have to that every time I want to play it though making progress almost impossible ;/.
Sad to hear that Sony doesnt care...
Sony support is really one of the WORST.
You only need to read what users experienced regarding the touchscreen problems (which is a far more serious problem than audio delay in games). Like the North Korean government, Sony says it doesn't know of any problems. The customer is the ass.
I love my Z2 Tablet, but this company just plain sucks.
I have used BaRin in the past with no overheating issues even when playing games or watching videos. When I installed stock lollipop I noticed the volume buttons/power buttons along with the top of the screen getting really hot when playing games or watching videos. I figured maybe its stock files so I installed BarPop and still overheating. Is this something with lollipop or will it go away with time? I did a clean install of all roms and I barley have any applications on my phone.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Sounds like a phone issue to me. I've ran all those roms, never had heat issues.

Try this app it is free just put it in root mode: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
If you are on kk then use it with xposed.
Pretty much it sound like to me you have a ton of apps running in the background on they are using a lot of ram/cpu what that app does is stops apps funning at all. They aill only run when you open them. I had the same problem but used that and now its all good.
Hello there,
I'm encountering some problems with my bluetooth headphones when I start games. As long as I'm using Spotify, Youtube etc. everything works fine, but in games I have like 0.7 to 1 second audio lag. It always occurs, no matter if I've also connected my BT gamepad or not.
What I'm using:
Device: bq Aquaris X Pro 4gb/64gb
Android: 7.1.1
Baseband-Version: 1-00333-8953_GEN_PACK-1.110987.1
Kernel-Version:
3.18.31-perf-g23e2fe9
[email protected] #1
Fri Nov 10 09:54:40 CET 2017
Build-Number: 1.5.1_20171110-0910
Additional info: Unlocked Bootloader, rooted (Magisk 15.3 (5.5.5))
Bluetooth headphones: Teufel Move BT (Bluetooth 4.0 + apt-x)
Bluetooth gamepad: Stoga STM01 (Bluetooth 3.0, also known as iPega BTC-938)
What I already tried:
- Reconnecting all devices
- Resetting all devices
- Reinstalling Games / Software
- Testing audio-altering software, just in case it'd change anything
- Deactivating any other connections beside bluetooth
- Uninstalling any app that could cause those problems, like antivirus
- Checking CPU Load (~25% in games) and RAM usage (never completely full)
- Fiddling around with audio options - doesn't change anything
- Looking up if it's a buffering problem (didn't find any information)
A kinda interesting observation I made is that the lag seems to only occure when he got (game-)footage to render. There isn't even any audio lag in the Rockstar logo video when I start GTA 3, but it starts when I load my savegame. Doesn't have to be 3D though, it happens with GTA 3 as well as Angry Birds or PPSSPP, ePSXe or any other emulator I got.
The bug probably was always there, I just happen to notice it now because it's the first time I got a smartphone strong enough for something I'd call a "fully fledged game".
A friend told me it's maybe a known problem with the Android 7 stock ROM, but since the internet is full of bluetooth problems on android I'm not sure about that. I would've tried a custom rom, but there isn't any rom for the Aquaris X Pro yet (even though there's a team working on a Linelage OS 15 port). Just buying cheap headphones to play with isn't a real option, since I'd also need a new gamepad (my current one blocks the audio port), and I'd be forced to always change to crappy sound when I want to play a game (The Teufel Move BT are really high quality).
There's actually an open beta programm for Android 8 Oreo for my device, but I don't really want to unroot (Some apps I regularly use need it) and accept all the telemetry....
Created a logcat file (search term "bluetooth"). Just connected the devices, moved around a bit in two apps with BT lag, and disconnected them again.

Anyone got an idea how to fix this?

I have the same issue on my Galaxy S9+. Same lag value in games only. It seems like Android bug and can't be fixed by users unless they deploy a fix.

Same problem on Note8 (Exynos), while on games only with powerbeats 2.
same happen in note9 (exynos) while on games only with oneplusBullet wireless
It's an AOSP issue and it makes me frustrated that no body report the issue to Google itself. It's been years man!
OEM roms like oxygen os and one UI have fixed this issue but the problem is that they have closed sources for their oos and one UI... It's an issue deep within the aosp code... And will continue to occur in all aosp roms ?
We should ask Google to fix their aosp for this!
I've gotten Google out of my life and want to flash a new custom ROM to my Sony Xperia Z2 tablet. I'm currently running Lineage but would be curious to try something different. I basically want a clean experience and won't be flashing Gapps. I really just use this tablet for watching videos and rarely some document reading and email.
Can someone recommend me a stable ROM to try out? There's so much development here that i'm a little overwhelmed and would be safest to take some advice on something stable I won't f**k up being a relatively inexperienced person in this area. (i've flashed a bunch of ROMs on different devices, but i've messed it up plenty of times too)
Hi,
I can just recommend Resurrection Remix Oreo. Its stable, pretty smooth and really fast with the latest android experience. Im using it daily to watch videos or scrolling through the web or facebook. I also installed google photos so i receive the photos directly taken from my smartphone, pretty awesome.
So I think it will be also a great rom for you. Just flash the twrp 3.0 and install it. Really simple.

Thanks - i've flashed it and the first thing I tried was playing a video (after installing VLC). Audio FX error happened and the tablet crashed. Replicated this a few times. The forum thread says I can uninstall Audio FX using the system uninstaller, but I can't find that option and this isn't a great indicator of stability anyway. That ROM does feel and look great - but that was discouraging.

Sorry to hear that. I got no problem with the Audio FX. I am also using VLC even when I stream Movies from Plex.
wich is the best one for SGP521?
I bought this tablet a few days ago (already knowing that it is from 2011 and that I would have to make some adjustments to it). I have already tested some custom roms and the most stable so far (but not perfect) has been aop 7.1.2. But I noticed a problem that I'm facing in all custom roms, I think even in stock 4.0.4 this also happens: I can't open newer videos (mp4, mkv, 1080,720p, I didn't test all formats, but when I open these files only play the audio and the video is not displayed). I've looked at various topics talking about this issue and the use of video players like kodi, mx player, etc. But the problem is not solved. If the problem is driver or custom rom, can anyone recommend me one that is more stable and is running videos normally?
Hello,
I got exactly the same problem on the same tablet (mkv playing only audio and no video on all players I tried with the Galaxy tab 10.1 from 2011 under stock Android 4)
I did not try other roms for now but if you find a solution I would be pleased to get your feedback!
Thank you
Florian
The problem lies on two factors: the first is the absolutely old drivers which are closed source and, according to the developer that stills cares about this tablet, impossible to update/reverse engineering. The second issue is the tegra2 processor itself which is basically unsupported by any modern app (Google ones, for example).
After that, you also has to take into account that modern HD content has higher bitrates than a few years back making it harder for the tablet, that wasn't that great at it in the first place, struggle even more at playing videos.
Thanks!
Crystal clear! Thanks for the answer!

I'm running the same AOSP 7.1.2 ROM but in my case, the sound is not in sync with the video. Weird. Now, using this tablet as picture viewer only.
