Another crack at an overclocking app?

For what it's worth...
no2chem has an app he's working on that suppose to overclock the TP to
800mhz.

I'm not endorsing attempting to overclock anything. The last thing I ever overclocked what a celeron 300, to 450Mhz back in the day LOL, but, for you
hard core types, might want to head over there and read the thread. THE APPLICATION IS NOT AVAILABLE to download yet, I suppose he wants to really make sure your TP does not burst into flames, or cause a rift in the time space thingy

I read through the whole thing. It looks very promising, but is in its starting stages. Hopefully we can see something good come out of it. If we pick up a few hunderd MHZ, im sure it will greatly help the phone out.

Yeah, I've been following the thread also. If they can get it to work...I'm thinking it would be a trade off. Yes, I'll bet anything these chips are a bit underclocked, but, I'm also believing they are underclocked to remain stable.
Plus, anytime you run one over the specs, it just has to have a marked decrease in battery life, and it almost has to heat it up a bit. Those electrons can only run around inside that tiny package so fast before they heat up

I tried the app 2 times on my Fuze running 6.5 Energy Rom. Crashed everytime I tried to run the program. Gonna wait for the finished product to see how it turns out because the "test version" does not.

Ok so why in the world would anyone want to speed this little Gem up?
Running an energyrom i can run AD2P plus read a book or surf the net fine (hell ive even logged onto one of my webhosts from it) without any lag or speed trade off.
Isnt this just going to kill battery and heat the thing up?

you cant play games like quake and tony hawk with default speeds.. overclocking will enable u to play those games without a lag

Raging Thunder 2 - Gaming on Android

Anybody played this game on the Vogue? It's AWESOME! lol...no really you should get it, ill post a vid soon, but imo I think it plays better than on other phone because of the d-pad, save the N1 and Droid. Single player is a bit laggy, but on multiplayer once your in the lead it's smooth sailing
Also I have a question, does our phone have a dedicated GPU?

GPU has worked on this phone for almost a year thanks to DZO. This only works in Android because HTC never released drivers and no one could ever firgure out how to do it for WinMo.
IMHO its what makes Android on the Vogue SO MUCH better than WinMo. Adroid would still be better than Windows but not by as much as with GPU

driving blows because of the dpad and no tilt support >.< but it is pretty cool

i have 60mb free on my nand, why is this game telling me it cant install, free up space? the apk is 19mb. raging thunder 1 works and looks great

when I download it it downloads then says installation unsuccessful

I've tried playing this on my Eris and it force closes all the time, so I would imagine it would be pretty tough to play on the Vogue.

i finally got it to work once i cleared data and istalled it first before installing any other apps. Otherwise it wanted more free space and wouldnt let me install. Single player lags but multipalyer runs pretty good. Raging thunder 1 runs fantastic though.

im running it on my diamond wiith the build of klinux with no probleme

psx4droid

just heard about it and am rather excited. has anyone tested it on the g1? is it even playable?

yes i installed psx4droid on Cm6 on G1 i tested crash bandicoot and it works but exstremly slow, sound is also very poor
but its G1 so what do you expect.
thoughts awesome havent tested any other games yet im thinking if i disable comp cache and enable swapper on my swap partition then it may be faster...??

oh yh i have the same phone with cy6 and amon ra with death spl

in step by step detail can someone please explain the process of getting the rom to work. i tried a file from doperoms and when i putin the correct bios and clicked on the twisted metal zip it open another folder and said there was nothing in the folder. can you please guide me in this. i been so fustrated tryna figure this outfor a while now lol any help is appreciated

Don't download off dope roms unless you know how to convert their psx roms to .ISO or .BIN. I use emu paradise forums as long as the roms are in those two formats you should be fine the only problem is even with swapper or linux swap you cant get enough memory for the games. They seem to run incredably slow and it makes it unplayable unless someone can get the linux swap only to work for psx4droid so it only gives that program the memory it needs then maybe it'll play like the moto droid does with psx4droid. Anyway good luck with getting it run well.
If any progress in getting this to run smooth on G1 PM me

Sad to say it but psx4droid is just a novelty on the G1. Ive tried tekken on down to a 2d game like Suikoden. It makes no difference wat you do. Even overclocked to 700 sumtin mhz with set cpu you only can get around 5 fps.

I got it running a lil faster than 5fps I'm not sure but I keep it at default. And also I disable the sound it gives it a boost. But I will do a video on youtube tonight or tomorrow. Jus search my username androidappman and you will see the video it won't be hard to find.

ok no prooblem im up and have one more ciggerette for the night lol so ill post it but im taking back what i said on it moving faster than about 5fps but again it could have been the game cause i had chosen silent hill but i heard ace combat was pretty smooth running as well as crash bandicoot but my issue is i wanna start a dropbox like sysytem to load all the converted games for others to have easy access to. but im a do the video about basically how to convert the game into the proper file type and do so in detail. so look out for me in the morning. p.s anyone get wit me on a site like dropbox so i can sign up and start uploading away with you all.

I also have CM6, and I tried this emulator out. Extremely slow, but seems to work. Needs a lot of optimizations, as I'm sure that the G1 can certainly emulate PSX full speed. How I know this? Cause I could on my Kaiser, with FPSCE. I was able to play Megaman 8 with sound with minimal slow down. Then again, I had to use Windows Mobile for FPSCE.
Considering the difference between the G1 and Kaiser CPU's are 128 Mhz, I really doubt it couldn't be done on the G1. Would like to also mention, on the Kaiser the 3D acceleration wasn't working either. So FPSCE had no help from the GPU.
My guess is that PSX4DROID uses the FPU that you'll find in many modern Android phones, but older phones like the G1 don't have one. They could probably optimize it to run at full speed on phones like the G1, but they would rather recommend getting a newer phone. Even though most PSX emulators for the PC requires a minimum of a 200 MHz chip, and our phones have a 528 Mhz chip.
Really wish more emulator developers would develop on the Android. As it is, it seems like Android only has one person working on emulators for the Android.

Psx4droid

So I got the psx emulator even though the slide probably isn't the best device to be running the app on. Tried a few of my fave games and the larger roms (like GT2) are slightly laggier then the smaller ones (like Spyro 2). This is probably normal due to size.
I know this is the first release so its not a well pollished app but how much better do you folks think its going to get for us slide users? And is this the same experience the rest of you are having?

took the app from 4shared.com amd game won't load. buying it tommorow tho, but it shouldnt run horrid thinking it might run smooth actually, not a fan of how you have to get the roms but hey it ps1 on the go right?
Update: Looks like my Bios was the issue, but works fine now. Games are pretty laggy tried overclocking but not sure it worked out to well, need to try something else. only tried spyro playable but not normal game play like you'd want. Wish we had hummingbird in this! *drools over keyboard* If FF7-9 work good enough for me then. but maybe in the future once its more polished it could become better but playing fighter games or very actiony games maybe not "amazing". Price you must pay for owning a mid-range device.

the games are wayyyy too laggy for slide imho. i just stick with the good ol snes emulator.

I think its the emulator that needs some work because I have heard it runs crappy on the Evo too, but for a work in progress you have to admit that its pretty impressive to be able to load a PSX game onto your phone. I have tried a bunch of different ROMs and so far the only one that is playable is Resident Evil Directors Cut.

I just downloaded this, but I'm enjoying it. It's laggy, but I think the fact that it's even possible is amazing.
I've been watching the psx4droid wiki(can't post a link yet) and another forum. Just checking out to see people's experiences with certain games. I think most of the people that are sharing on the wiki have a bit more mhz than us, but it kind of gives me an idea which games will be ok to run.
I've got FF7 right now and it's definitely laggy, but playable. Sound a bit on the staticy side. Downloading Breath of Fire III, Xenogears and Resident Evil 2.
I'm reading the Resident Evils should be better since a lot of the graphics are pre-rendered and mainly the characters and npcs are 3D.
Running stock, btw. Holding out for 2.2 before determine if I'm going to root.
Also, Hello!

Unfortunately RE2 runs too slow but RE Directors Cut runs well enough to play and the sound isnt terrible. So far thats the best I can find, well Tetris Plus runs fine but there are better Tetris games you can play in the market.

Ah crud. Well I'll probably be trying more things to see what is great. I wasn't really too excited about RE2 anyways. I never really had a PSX, so I didn't play a lot of these games. Of course I could just do it on the PC now, but... well, I do enjoy the slide.

About halfway through disk one of Final Fantasy 7. The game runs perfect on Fenix 1.8 OCed to 844mhz. Zero lag. The only issue is the sound but I usually play it in public places anyway so it's not a deal breaker for me. Even bust out the WiiRemote for a controller sometimes at home

Old games do not work well on this phone

For example I tried playing the original angry birds and it is extremely choppy. It seems like a bunch of the old 2d iOS ported games like angry birds, cut the rope ect don't run that well on this phone. Does anyone else experience the same choppiness in this game? Is it something to do with optimization or is it a hardware issue with the One? Newer 3d games seem to run fine. I hope its not just my phone.

Strange. I just installed it and played the first level and found it to be extremely fast and responsive. Do you have power save mode on?

I don't have power save mode on, I've been trying to diagnose the problem for the last little while and I can't figure out what it is. The game runs fine for the most part it is just a tiny bit jerky, especially when scrolling the background.

Same here, playing games I played on my S3 on my One are quite laggy. Maybe game developers have to add support for our phone?

I found this old post about the HTC One X, perhaps the same issue applies to the One and can be corrected with the same solution?

My phone is not rooted so unfortunately I cannot test it right now.

Another solution, once again requires a rooted device is to install any CPU app like kernel tuner, SetCPU, Trickster Mod, etc. Change the Governor from on-demand to msm-dcvs. In kernel tuner you can a little further enhancement by ticking the box next to link all cores. This will also tax your battery more but a lot less than that in article you linked to.

Both the titles you mentioned run without a hitch, very smooth. Anyone else want to chime in?

Didn't want to start a new thread on same topic.
I've experienced the same issues on my One. In Nimble Quest for example, you can look at the background as it scrolls and every few seconds there's a hitch/slowdown, then the game speeds up again. It can be subtle and perhaps not everyone notices it. Another game that exhibits this, is Canabalt. It's actually more severe in Canabalt.
I have Power Save disabled and this issue still persists. I am not sure what the culprit would be, and I hope we don't have to rely on the developer to resolve the issue. I feel it's something on the phone's side, (perhaps it's throttling down)? I tested the same 2 games on an S4 and the issue was not present.
I am on 1.29.1540.3.
