Sluggish games on hero - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else have issues running games on their hero? Even being oced homerun battle 3d runs terrible and even doodlejump is a bit laggy.

What rom? Did you enable a live wall paper fix?

always sad cause emus ran like crap on my hero but i'm pretty excited to test them out with OC.
as for OP do you run a mem management app like Auto Memory Management?

I do use an auto memory manager and I am currently using the newest CM6 rom by darch. I am OCed to 710mhz and I cannot find a way to get homerun battle 3d to run well. It never ran well with my stock alltel rom and it runs nearly as bad now with my CM6 2.2 OCed rom. Any ideas? I don't use a live wallpaper or anything

All games run perfect fine on mine.... OC to 768 on CM6T4

Do you use setcpu with cm6 or oc widget or do you just let the rom handle it?

has anyone been able to overclock the CPU for the galaxy S past 1GHz??? Im sold when i found out that touchwiz can be replaced w/ ADW Launcher so i plan on gettin this phone next month.
wouldnt recomment it.. when we tried even just setting the cpu mode to on demand instead of conservative.. which doesnt even up the cpu.. search for the thread about it on here.
Don´t think is such a problem if long as you don´t heat it up.
Its easy to overclock this phone, I'm running 1.2 ghz right now with a custom rom, its a great phone and if you want to game its unbeatable in performance compared to other smart phones.

Why resurrect a question that was asked nearly 10 months ago and due to advances is not really even relevant anymore?

I have run my phone using the CM7 and Miui roms at 1.3 ghz using the bilboa or zacharius kernels and xans voltage control app (which also allows you to undervolt) with absolutely no problems. Admittedly the phone will get hot if try and play dungeon defenders whilst you are charging so don't!

Trying to speed up phone

I have a mytouch 3g running CM6 and I have compcache on hit on and vm size is 24mb dithering is off. I have nothing on my home screen and I get a benchmark score of 3.6 MFLOPS. CPU is overclocked at 576 MHz with setcpu.
Any ways to help speed it up. I can't go the swapfile route cuz I have a class 2 card.

CM6.... A1 or A2?
A1 was a turd.
A2 is wickedly fast.
Be sure to enable compcache and disable dithering in Settings --> CM --> Performance.
On rc2 and its worse now and I keep running out of memory like 3. Mbs available.
Already have compcache on and dithering off

lbcoder, do you recommend JIT?

Only to those who understand both its benefits and drawbacks.
Recently had a wifi problem that made my phone stuck in a boot loop. Had to downgrade back to cm 5.0.8, it's waaay faster and idk why.

I read compcache is killing RC2. Through personal experience, this may actually be. Or it could be my phone. For some reason, my myTouch HATES Froyo ROMs. 100% SLOW. I can wipe and reflash a few times and it seems to catch hold, but it would die after a while as in my phone would get to homescreen and freeze. All times compcache has been enabled. But, as I said, my myTouch does just hate Froyo.
The mytouch can probably handle froyo, just needs tweaking or a better overclock. I wish I could find a working kernel to OC PAST 578. Just barely more would be enough

3.6 MFLOPS is a good score, I'd be happy with that. If you want it to run better, buy a new phone.
It showed that score but was always running like a snail.

I've got a G1, and top at about 2.5MFLOPS, maybe 3-4 with JIT on. Our phones just weren't made for the full power of android, sadly.

Certain Wallpapers?

Why is it that live wallpapers from the market slow down the Aria? Idk if it does that for all ROMs, but it does slow down the Liberated Aria 2.2 ROM. The live wallpapers that are in the ROM don't slow anything down. Is this something that affects the ROM?
Sent from my HTC Liberty
well i think all of them slow me down but if it irritates you, make sure you are on the latest FR rom and crank the cpu up. Dont go over 806(i think). Use setcpu(market or xda search)
It's because the aria has a lower mhz processor.

Question anyone feels laggy when running Fruit nija?

Here is the question, i always feel a little bit of laggy when i am running fruit nija the game. I am currently running cognition 4.3 with voodoo lagfix enabled. I overclocked to 1.4g but didn't fix the problem.
I wonder where the lag comes from, cappy has a very powerful gpu as we all know. But seems didn't work out with the little game

once in a while it doesnt detect my finger swipe but for the most part, I dont have lag issues on my setup.
Ya I've I noticed the lag before even with oc sometimes. I personally think its an issue with the amount of usable ram the cappy has.

any idea to fix its?

Usually just killing all your apps and background apps with a taskkiller does the trick and frees up some ram for me anyways

yeah it's laggy. I don't find killing programs helps. I always figured it was not optimized on our phones, but the memory explanation makes sense.

I think fruit ninja is smooth...
Just tried it right now (and ended up playing a few times ) on Serendipity 6.3 and it's running perfectly fine.
I just flashed the latest Phoenix ROM(JS8) with the Speedmod k13d Kernel(lagfix on,no overclock) ,I don't know,Ninja becomes smooth
Here is a theory :
Fruit Ninja is optimized for i9000 not for captivate

have you had a chance to run it on the iPhone? It's night and day imo.
and to the above poster- I don't think that can be the case since they're essentially identical inside. I'm not sure if FN is an iOS port over to android but maybe that may be a possible reason.

That's impossible, I don't think it can differenciate since we are running on the same Hummingbird processor.

Even when I was just using a modified stock ROM way back in September and Fruit Ninja just came out it sill ran fine for me. The only thing I see go down was the graphic quality (maaaybe).

How to run games on Milestone?

I'm having some dificult to run some games on my Milestone, like PES2012, GTA, PvZ. I can run the intro the game doesn't run.
Actually i'm using the last CM7 (7.1.5 Kang) . I've already done a lot of tests but can't run these games.
Can anyone give me some advices or sugest a way to run these games?
Which value I may use in heap size? Overclock set? Use any APP (chainfire 3d, motomizer, blade body)? Any good rom?
Anyone could run these games on milestone? With which rom, heap size, overclock?
Tks

all gb roms are designed for 512mb ram+ so gaming isn't that good
When I had my milestone... on stock 2.1 and 2.2 I could run games like Sims 3, nfs shift and gangta Miami vindication very smoothly
But with gb roms they don't run at all or not very smoothly
