Yeah it does get warm after 5-10 mins of a 3d game not too bad but noticeable never had it get so hot it was burning before, my last phone Lumia 920 used to get that way. Anyway if you get a good case and you shouldn't feel it.

Im using the octa core exynos alpha and im not that impressed with the performance, would you recommend the snapdragon varient?

Honestly don't know the difference. The stock rom can slow down a lot when doing multiple things or installing apps but the Cm13 rom made my phone feel like a whole new different phone. If your okay with it possibly try a cyanogenmod rom for your variant see if that speeds up. If not maybe check out some newer phones if performance is a priority.

Is there any rom for Galaxy alpha that works with our Canadian Device? I saw the link for the Cyanogenmod but I prefer a TouchWiz ROM.

I personally could only find the Cyanogenmod 13. I been using it as my main rom for about a month now with no problems and loving the android 6 battery optimization and custom theme settings.

Yep old but nice game. But its so short and nothing special. Gets boring after a while.
great game!!!!
It keeps getting messed up. :\ Most of the time it does not save anything and even if it does save something I still have to start playing from the very beginning. Sometimes I get killed from one slash, for some reason. I'm very disappointed.

mine is running maclaw's CM9 beta8. TR lags and while the guy runs without any obstacle, it just randomly falls/bumps for no reason.
My Galaxy S has random fps spikes too... Not a problem with the 2S

Stock CPU settings.

Hi.
I've recently flashed Resurrection Remix ROM on my S2 on top of Siyah kernel latest version.
Im pretty satisfied with it to tell you the truth. There is only one thing which I find the stock ROM better. That is gaming. Im talking about big and heavy games like GTA3, 9MM, Fifa12, Hot Pursuit and so.
Here in RR rom they tend to lag meanwhile they worked flawlessly in Stock rom.
I think it has to do with the CPU settings.
So im asking those on stock rom who are rooted to tell me what are your default settings in Set CPU or whatever app you use to overclock/underclock.
My default settings are like in the pic here.

Gaming has more to do about GPU .
Use Extweaks to overclock your GPU if needed

I experience lag also when doing regular stuff like browsing web chechking twitter or instagram or facebook or tapatalk etc.
Im sick of it already.
Anyways i am returning to stock now as thats the best rom imo.

First, you only need to concentrate on one thread instead of opening another one.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
See dude it depends upon you how you use your rom or modify it... Also You experience lag because of some default rom/Kernel tweaks
If you think Stock is better for you then use it... And please if you really want help then please dont open multiple threads and wait for people to reply...
XDA Members/Development/Moderators also have their own personal life.. Please respect

Does anyone know how to open the .SBA texture files in
/storage/sdcard0/android/data/com/ea.games.nfs13_na/files/published/textures
I want to replace the road texture with something a bit higher rez the current ones are a messy smear compared to how nice they could look on a note 2.
Wont hurt FPS that much imo.

Looks and runs pretty decent. TouchAndSwipe controls is the most retarded solution i've seen in a game, tho. Hoping they'r gonna bring back the good old touch-to-turn option.
Runs great! I used GameCIH to get max money and sp.

If you can get it into download mode you should be fine. Search something like "bricked my note" and you should find the info needed to get up and running again.

We've all been there. Probably just missed a step and just a soft brick. If your search for bricked phone does not help you let us know what you've done to get here and what you've tried. Include Odin version, recovery installed and root methods attempted. Hang in there.

Not sure about lag but stability is still a bit of an issue. Gimmeitorilltell is working on it though and each build gets better. There are dozens of cool JB ROMs for speed if lag is a concern.
