[Q] Rooted 1.1.0 - Sound lag in games - Nook Color General

I'm using the 1.1.0 NC stock ROM rooted with Auto Nooter 3.0. I have spare parts installed and compatibility mode enabled. I've noticed that a lot of the games I've tried to play have about a half second of sound lag between when a sound effect is supposed to go off and when I actually hear it. I've noticed it in the following games:
Angry Birds
Angry Birds Seasons
Bejeweled 2*
Zenonia
Anyone have any ideas for possible solutions?

Bump for great justice...

Gameloft Games?

I took the ones from data\app on my phone and placed them in system\app on my Nook Color and changed the permissions. After a reboot, I can find them in the launcher, but when I press on them they close instantly.
Has anyone gotten any of these games to work?
I've gotten Dungeon Hunter to work really well just by installing it normally...
Of course I'm fully rooted with market and everything.
Gameloft Games= Some Work

Yes, I've had some success with gameloft, I posted in another thread, "apps that work....I think" But it has grown to twenty something pages, and games are not addressed specifically.
Loaded and working on my NC, (these came from my SCaptivate froyo 2.2)
Working
*Gangster
*Hawx
*NOVA
*Sandstorm (need to stop game and then resume to clear up horizontal black bar)
Not working (for me) Assassin's Creed/Uno/Let's Golf
It is an aspect ratio issue, the controls are offset and don't work correctly.
*Assassin's Creed, is the only one I've tested that responds the same way as yours (paul22000), loads then closes.
I've seen, in another thread (not the one referenced above) that Asphalt 5 works, if I remember correctly they used a tablet version. They explained how to get the correct download and it seemed well thought out, but I have not tried it myself.
Asphalt 5 (tab version) and UNO (tab version) work without a hitch.
Nova, Hero of Sparta, & Dungeon Hunter all work for me.
"HD" versions of spider man and dungeon hunter works great.
I have the following working:
NOVA
Dungeon Hunter
Asphalt 5
Dungeon Hunter works perfectly. Hero of Sparta works but the controls are offset, as someone else reported. Basically the hand controls appear where they would if the screen were WVGA instead of WSVGA. I was able to install both normally on my rooted NC.
How are you guys downloading these games?
I only have the two free games they gave out for the month of December.

NOVA 3.1.3 (galaxy tab version) crashes as soon as I open it. Any solutions?
I installed Dungeon Hunter HD and Asphalt 5 3.1.3.0 and it tells me i need more space on my sd card.
My sd card is formatted for the NC root. Obviously, my NC has been rooted already, can i re-format my sd card for more space? or do i need to leave the sd image alone? I don't know if the nook boots from the sd or what.
Can I re-format my SD without encountering problems on the NC?

Yes, you can reformat. And just so you know, this question has been asked like a billion times.
The Galaxy Tab versions Dungeon Hunter and Asphalt 5 DO work here (I haven't purchased any others to test). The only obvious issue I've had with them is that the MP4s for the Intros and Cutscenes don't play, so be aware of this. Didn't see this mentioned already, so I thought I'd put it out there.
The reason for this is the 1024x600 resolution (not baseline profile) of these video files. I ran the LOGO.mp4 of Asphalt 5 through handbrake and after that the NC's built in video app was able to play it. However, Asphalt doesn't like the replacement file and asks to re-download the original.
While the intro isn't all that important, it was just a test to see if it could be replaced. Perhaps it can't because of some checksum, etc? Hopefully not too much (of import) is missed by the games just skipping over these files that the NC can't play.
I remember being able to play Asphalt HD on my NC on 1/13/10. Asphalt would simply skip over the (unplayable 1024x600) cutscene video and continue to the game itself. But since I installed that the latest update the game displays a dialog message saying "sorry could not play this file" before shutting it's self down.
So I tried resizing the cutscene video with Dvdcatalyst to 854x480 and uploading the cropped file to the nook color. But when I launched Asphalt I got the same message that epakrat75 got asking me to download 22 megabytes. Which ultimately replace the cropped cutscene with the original but unplayable cutscene.
Sad thing is I know that the game plays well on the nook color because I was able to do so only a few days ago. If only I could find a way to get the game to skip the cutscene without crashing.
Sent from my Rooted Nook Color
So far I've played every gameloft game on the nook color (galaxy tab versions) only asphalt, modern combat, Spiderman, uno, ad modern combat work. Every other game (gangstar, Nova, etc.) Cranes out on the video or gets really fidgety with the popular notification so you can't get past it. But Ive Berenice having lots of fun with modern combat and Spiderman recently.

I tried to buy Gangstar Miami for samsung to install on my Nook, but I get this:
Sorry, Gangstar: Miami Vindication HD is not available for your phone at the moment. from the Gameloft website.
How the hell do you get without paying. I've try a few from google but once installed I get this is not an orignal copy of the Gangstar Miami, then Sandstorm, and dungeon hunter displays the same message.
Can someone PM a good like for gangstar? Thanks.
I've had similar luck as the others above with the galaxy tab versions. I was able to get spiderman, dungeon hunter and uno working, but after the sdcard data downloads everything works, until i quit the game and try again, then it won't work...
Anyone have any successes with gameloft games?

[Q] audio lag (non video player related)

My NC was upgraded to 1.0 and rooted with Auto-Nooter 2.12.25.
I have no issues with audio lag when playing properly converted movie files in Rock Player (using hardware decoding) or the System Player.
However, I have noticed audio lag in the following situations:
1) The page-turning sound when unlocking the screen (comes about a second after the screen has already unlocked);
2) When typing (the keyboard click sounds lag significantly behind my actual keystrokes);
3) In games - both Android OS games and games through various emulators (sound effects lag behind the respective onscreen action).
Anyone else notice this kind of lag with their NC?
Screen Unlock - Yes I do have delay
Keyboard Click - I never heard my keys click now that you mention it.
Games - No lag at all
I also have the 1/2-1 second delay in audio for most games.
Same experience in angry birds and videos using rockplayer. Using arcmedia the video quality is slightly degraded but the audio is much more in sync. I do the 10 sec buffering.

WOW, I am going to have to really check mine out again and see if I just didn't notice the delay, but I can't recall any trouble with Angry Birds.
If there is a delay in games, I wonder how it could be corrected?

Angry Birds was one of the first games I noticed it in. When a bird hits an object, you don't hear the crash sound until a second or so later.
Hopefully, there will be a simple fix for this . . .

[Q] android question

i have downloaded angry birds and it has installed and seems to start but looks like it is partly off of the screen. all of the games i have downloaded work but i have tried both of the angry birds and they do the same thing.

NookColor Sound out of Sync

I have a NookColor rooted 1.0.1 not 1.1 because i dont want to install clockwork and then have it stuck on the device and i cant install updates. So whenever i use an app, the sound is usually out of sync. For example, jetcarstunts is really really bad and the sound is out of sync by a few seconds. in fruit ninja there is barely any sound out of sync its only out by a few milliseconds, not really noticeable. But in angry birds seasons, sound is out of sync by a second or 2. Im going to post a youtube video in a few minutes.
does anyone know why? and i cant post videos until 8 posts, just joined but i know a lot about android, i just used droidforums before. go to my channel on youtube, nintendofan123456
anybody know?
I have the same issue with my rooted 1.1, but it occurs only in some games, video and other apps work fine.
I also have the same issue with autonooted 1.1
Same issue with autonooted 1.1 with 1.1Ghz OC kernel.
Thought it was becouse of OC... maybe bug in audio drivers ?
Very annoying in some games\sound making apps
Ya I updated to 1.1 and tested out some apps and they still did the same things. Then I did the Oc all the way to 1.1 ghz thinking maybe it was skipping frames because it was too slow but it didn't fix it im getting really annoyed. Could we get some devs to check this out? And also I will be posting some more youtube videos with other apps and I will put them here. But for now I really want some devs looking into this.
I have the same problem..I have tried different versions of angry birds, but it has the same problem. For others games prepared for Galaxy Tab, NC performed excellent..
P.S It also occurs in CM7 or phiremod v4

[Q] Lag Help

So I have an HTC Hero CDMA with Cyanogen Mod 7 rom in it. The rom improved my phone speed but I I have a few questions on how I cold fix the lag that occurs when playing high end games like Angry Birds or other games like that. Whenever I play a high end game, I experience lag, which makes it almost impossible to enjoy playing the game; so I'm wondering if anyone knows on how to fix the lag that occurs when playing a high end game.
Also is there a way to play HQ videos on youtube? I already downloaded the new youtube app when I flashed Cyanogen Mod 7 on my phone but when I try to play a HQ video, the video keeps playing the audio but not the video itself, so again, is there anyway to fix this?
I really appreciate all the help I can get, Thanks.
Sorry about the double post of the thread, ne to xda forums...
Your questions have already been answered before. Search the forum.
No and no. The Hero is old and those games are high end memory hog games. HQ on YouTube won't ever work.
