Bad performances with Asphalt6 - Nexus S Themes and Apps

On my Nexus S, Asphalt 6 runs quite bad. On the first track when the camera flies over the cars it show a maximum of 10-12fps, and the entire game goes rearely over 20fps with the external camera view. Considering that the game graphics, except for reflections on the car is nothing special (see the textures on buildings, they're embarassing), I really don't understant why it doesn't run at a decent framerate (except eventually the bad optimization). Overclocking at 1.3GHz does nothing, removing that famous GL-related file does nothing, the game continue running like CRAP. I'm quite sure that on an iPhone4 it goes flawlessly. Someone here is getting a decent framerate? Something over 35? Maybe it is a ROM-related issue? I have the original, paid 1.0.4 version installed on stock rooted GRJ22 rom. My device is a 9023.

change your Kernel
either use Netarchy if you are on stock
or use Trinity
the game was also lagging on my phone before i changed to Trinity

I'm already using netarchy... So now using the trinity kernel the game runs smooth?

it runs fine on trinity over here. the gpu is overclocked on most of the trinity kernels too, which does give you a graphics/3D boost. im using the Trinity 1.44ghz kernel right now.

ok the 1.1GHz/240MHz version isn't enough. And I surely don't want to keep my device overclocked at 1.44GHz with a 240 bus only to run such a bad optimized and not graphically attractive game

blatant honesty.. much respect for that

Try this. With root explore go into system/lib/egl and delete the file libgles_android.so. it improves the 3d fps on quadrant so I think it should help u in the game

Dont have any problem here. How to check how many fps are you running?
I am with nexus s i9023. Using 1GHZ TUV kernel. Running perfectly... and fast as well

No way to measure them, I just play videogames by more than 20 years
My personal frame rate scale:
fps>45 smooth as butter
fps>30 smooth
fps>25 playable
fps>20 still playable, but not so funny expecially if it requires fast reactions or you have to
aim something
fps like you can almost count them -> something between 15 and 5
For me, every real time game that passes the 20fps barrier should be uninstalled immediately. Making a game that can't run at a comfortable frame rate makes no sense.
However, I tried T144 kernel and I get an acceptable frame rate. But I don't think that the iOS version is much less detailed, plus I don't see any trilinear filtering and the game seems to be done to run at a higher resolution, the textures of the road are very grainy in the distance. For a game like that, if it were well done a powerful 1ghz device with a SGX540 gpu should be ENOUGH.... see what John Carmack can do with an ipod touch 2g.

already done, it is the gl-related file I was talking about. It is the reason why I rooted my Nexus . Sadly it works with quadrant but does nothing with asphalt6

As you certainly know, there's a lot of android fanboys who could say that a particular game runs better and has better graphics than on iphone just because they're android fanboys. I have to say that I'm a bit prejudicial due to this, and I tend not to immediately trust who say that the X thing is done better on Android respect to iOS. A blinking 'fanboy' light on my brain powers on and I sadly can't do nothing about that. But adding detail to the post like you done up there helps to turn it off, if I see your nick for the first time I have no data to prove that you know what you're saying, I think this is comprehensible. Now I know you're not a fanboy, maybe a bit touchy but with some knowledge in informatics, but it seems to me that you think you're talking with a dope and still sound rude. I know that higher resolution means *in general* less fps, but games (as you surely know) can slow down due for example to high polygon count scenes; I simply don't think that asphalt 6 can run slower than on ipod touch due to the higher resolution of Nexus S, and I think that you agree with that. However, you have more experience than me in gaming, but hey this is just an hobby for me. I'm not in benchmarking and software-hardware, I simply play games when I have time and I do it since I had a Commodore 64. Actually I'm a mechanical engineer with some experience in numerical algorhitms, I can't distinguish a 16x anisotropic filter when I see it applied like you do and (probably) my hardware doesn't support it, but if I would ever need it I can understand the mathematical algorhitm and code it. Everyone has its own experience and writing on a forum can help in sharing it, even at long distances. Being rude doesn't help in doing that, actually doesn't help in nothing and makes partecipating in discussions not a pleasant thing to do.

i don't know if you can see my siggy, but if you read this line
Samsung Nexus S: on CM7.1 RC1 (2.3.4) + Trinity TUV10 Kernel
then you'll know it works great, and it's on stock speed 1000 + undervolted
runs super smooth
and the whole reason i find out, was because i rant into the same problem with Netarchy
here's my original topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1251669&highlight=quick+review+cm7

I tried CM7 RC1 with bot TUV and TUV10 and asphalt 6 force closes. I installed the rom by wiping cache, data and dalvik cache. I already tried with nightlies before and it was the same, that's because I'm stuck on stock rooted rom. Any suggestions?

maybe your trying a version of asphalt6 thats not for the nexus s? try this to see if this helps.. first, boot into recovery and try the "fix permissions" option. if that doesnt work, go to the phones main setting, applications, manage applications, downloaded applications, asphalt6.. now clear its data. you might have to redownload all the game data again, something could have corrupted.

I'm using the nexus version from the market I didn't download the data again, but I doubt it's corrupted as it works now that I reverted to stock rooted 2.3.4. I'll try to fix permissions

I tried both fixing permissions and redownloading app+data but nothing changes
I don't know if it makes difference but my nexus is a 9023

i don't think so
i purchased both version of Asphalt 6 HD for $0.99 just for the heck of it, because i wanted to figure out why there are 2 versions, and both works great for me
one was purchased direct from Gameloft website v3.1.9
the other one was purchased from android market v1.0.4
and if any one knows, i have over 350+ app/games installed in the phone, with at least over a dozen Widgets running in the Launcher, yet i do not have any lag running either version.
... i still can't see or figure out the difference between the 2 versions.
i don't think the i9023 version of the phone is that much different, AFAIK it's only the SLCD vs SAMOLED+ screen changed
my suggestion would be to flash the dalvik cleaner ZIP file that is floating around
that one supposes to really clean up everything

i have both versions of asphalt6 too, both are running fine here too. on the latest cm and the trinity teuv kernel. i dont see what would make the ops asphalt6 game fc on cm and work fine on stock. thats very strange. the only other thing i can think of at the moment is his version of cm that he is running. rc1 is fairly old now. maybe the op should update to a more recent cm nightly or a cm kang. maybe even a more recent trinity kernel too. but now im just guessing.
ps. damn, you beat me, i only have 299 games/apps with many widgets(without any lag).

tried the dalvik wiper and nothing changed...I already tried with nightlies and it does the same :/

Is my Nexus One slow?

Hi,
I'm having my Nexus One for about two weeks now and I already started a thread about the choppy scrolling between homescreens but now I want to know if there are other people that find their Nexus One slow and if they were able to make it faster in any way.
When I bought this phone I thought android would 'fly' on it cause I already had a HTC Magic and that went reasonably fast. But everything I'm using on my Nexus One feels choppy and not fluent as I expected/want it to be. For example when you start the browser or any other program you get this zoom animation which is nice but it doesn't go fluent, it goes choppy like you would play a videogame with 5 FPS.
And as I already mentioned the same counts for the launcher, it's just not fluent and doesn't feel fast at all.
I've tested different rom's, froyo, etc. but nothing seems to make it right so now I'm wondering if there are people that have the same issue's? Is it normal that the Nexus One isn't super fast to use or is there something wrong with my phone and should I return it?
i think something is wrong. especially with froyo the phone is ultra-fast.
Try Linpack and some other benchmarks and post the results.
Or try osmonitor for example and see what the cpu speed does, perhaps it is stuck @ 245 mhz for some reason lol
Ok, my score in Linpack is 6844 (MFLOPS). Don't know if that's good or bad. In BencmarkPi my Nexus One calculates Pi in 2842 miliseconds. And in Neocore I get 26.4 FPS which seems pretty normal to me.
I don't think my problems are hardware related, it more feels like it's the software.
Ow and I ran OSmonitor now and there's something strange. It says Memory Total: 217.440K Free: 67.500K
Is this a known bug or should it say 512MB?

your using eclair without a highmem kernel, thats why it only shows that much RAM. What roms have you tried? Try cyanogens or even stock froyo and see how the speed improves. I think you may be feeling its slow because of the extra animations that werent present during 1.6 which is what the MT3G is on

But the kernel thing doesn't affect the speed? I believe stock Froyo is one of the best I've tried so far. I tried cyanogen too, 5.0.7 I believe, but the launcher was extremely slow on that one.
Or am I flashing my roms the wrong way so things don't run smooth? I just download the .zip files, put them on my sd card, boot into recovery, whipe and flash. Normally it should work that way I believe.
And on my HTC Magic I was using a rom with Sense UI that worked very smooth. Maybe I should try the Desire ports but I like the stock Nexus One UI better.
Also I can't understand why there are developers OC'en the Nexus One? If it's really that fast already why would you risk that you're phone dies quicker for that extra performance?
And I don't hate animations, I even like them, but not if they are choppy.

the kernel is actually the primary factor when it comes to speed. how the kernel manages actions on the phone is the deciding factor on what makes it run fast. you can have a very fast phone hardwarewise, but if the kernel is designed poorly, the phone will run slow as well. Using a kernel that does not have highmem enabled means your probably running an older kernel that does not have updates for speed. the latest froyo kernel has highmem and JIT enabled for faster application use as well as over smoother feel.
i love the animations as well
im coming from the G1 and i havent had any of the of the problems you seem to be having. you are flashing the roms correctly (unless there are additional things such as google apps you need, idk whats the procedure on that for the nexus) Im running fully stock with froyo FRF72.
I would imagine that Desire would be SLOWER than stock android not faster. However the animations may be better optimized. I only used sense on the G1 and it was slow as heck on there (i would have used it all the time otherwise) The main reason that things look so choppy is because rendering is not handled by the GPU, rather the CPU. This puts more strain on the CPU than should be necessary.
I don't get why they OC the CPU either. Seriously, 1gHz is fast for a PHONE. I can understand why when the phone starts getting dated why you would....but its not gonna be dated till at least Q4 2010 when the 1.2-2gHz snapdragons are coming out.
Qualcomm will have a 1.5gHz ready for new phones this year. DUAL-CORE

As for the problem. Sounds weird. Try LauncherPro for a test. That is smooth launcher that flows like butter. If that is choppy then there is something seriously fu-bar going on with yer phone
I've flashed the stock froyo FRF50 now and till now it looks a lot better. OS manager now shows a total of 400MB memory. Is this the normal amount it should show? Or should I be looking for another kernel for froyo? And what is the difference between froyo FRF50 and FRF72?

so is your nexus smooth and fluid now? because mine is very smooth swiping the homescreens. using launcher pro. no choppiness at all.
Stock launchers to me are kinda choppy too. And that was my only complain with the nexus. Like the previous posters advised, try launcher pro and adwlauncher, tweak the settings to your liking and you'll see the difference. As far as kernel for froyo try pershoots kernel, it seems to be very smooth and speedy.

Minor suggestion - install ADW.Launcher (you'll have to tweak the settings a bit to make it nice) or Launcher Pro (works great as is) with your Froyo ROM. You'll thank me for it. The stock launcher scrolling is choppy - always has been, never was really fixed in Froyo (at least as of FRF50 - I haven't even bothered trying it with FRF72).

1st: next time post such stuff in the Q&A thread
2nd: the first thing i noticed, other than that the whole stock software is crappy, is that RAM performance is not well customized, try using the supercharger script and set the minfrees for 512mb RAM, i think ur problem lies there.. i use the stock rom with stock kernel, i free ram with the stock task manager before launching it and GTA3 runs just fine

the hardware on the S+ is really great for a single core phone, but the software sucks, if we had a lil more developing in our section we would've had the real deal , even though there are a few custom roms out there. my friend who owns an iphone 4 always repeats the fact that he doesn't need to do anything additional to his phone and that "it just works", and we have to accept that fact, even though, with the right software we can get a better product than the iphone 4

1. This discussion belongs in the general discussion thread not in the development section.
2. Unless you intend starting a flame war I would suggest that singing the praises of a certain fruit associated manufacturer in an Android forum is not a great plan.
3. If you want to compare phones then make sure they are in the same price class. So if your going to match Android against the fruit munger phone then you need to compare with the galaxy nexus or galaxy s ii.

AFAIK GTA3 is supposed to run on devices with a dual-core processor (iPhone 4S, SGS2, Sensation etc).
I guess it's not a marketing trick (like it was in case of most "tegra only" games) and the game really needs 2 cores for runing fine and smooth.
Anyway, i dont think we lost something big

Hi guys, I got NfsMW working on our HD2's. It's not laggy but the problem is that after about 2 minutes, it just exits. What's the problem? Ram? I think that android turns on it's ****ty apps(for eg. Play store) to "update" them, and then they take too much of ram..
I'd like to see your answers, thanks. Maybe chainfire can solve the problem? Or we should KILL everything with ram manager?

The new NFS: MW? I highly doubt that works without lag, I've seen the graphics and they're quite heavy for a mobile game. No single core, 404Mb RAM (in Android) phone could run it smoothly. Even Temple Run has a poor framerate. If you mean the old NFS: MW then that runs perfectly for me without lag, and it doesn't close after a while either.

And yes, problem was rom, not the game. We have strong enough gpu and enough ram to run it. I'm playing on paranoid 1.5b without problems.

That's what I was talking about when I said "You're wrong"
This nfs is one of the newest games out there.

I know it! I have to change Android OS "Again" but the biggest question is "Which one is smooth and stable" and ofcurse no battery drain?
BTW, I will wait for the .apk , I already clicked thanks for you!
Thanks man.

Hi guys, I got NfsMW working on our HD2's. It's not laggy but the problem is that after about 2 minutes, it just exits. What's the problem? Ram? I think that android turns on it's ****ty apps(for eg. Play store) to "update" them, and then they take too much of ram..
I'd like to see your answers, thanks. Maybe chainfire can solve the problem? Or we should KILL everything with ram manager?
Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm running Aokp jellybean build 3 from xylo on nand.

I have NFS_MW, the game is great! it has some lags, but it's playable it doesn't crash on my HD2

It's bad it doesn't have those "lightning effects" etc. But i think it would be slower with this turned on.

Devs will probably make some patches with light effects that will work on every device that can run the game(eg. like Dead Trigger..).
It plays on the Hd2... But then there is a lot of difference running it on my note 2 and Asus tf300

I managed to run it smoothly without those effects with normally downloaded data for Desire HD. However, after 2 weeks, the effects for POWERVR devices (better textures, lightning effects etc) activated, so it lagged horribly.

Will a custom kernel like Franco solve lag issues on stock 4.2.1?

Well I'm not really experiencing a lot of lag, but it's not really smooth, even my old LG Optimus 2X running CM10 is smoother than my Nexus when scrolling through menus.
My nexus really lags a lot when scrolling through documents, and on the app drawer, especially in the widgets tab. Some games like NFS and beach buggy blitz doesn't run smoothy too.
So will a custom kernel fix everything? I don't really want to install custom ROMs.. I like how stock feel and I'm kinda sick of customizing like my LG.
Did you try disabling Background sync in Google Currents?
That should help a bit.

I cleared cache, and disabled the app altogether. Still doesn't help.
Coming from stock 4.2.1 switching to dirty aokp with Franko kernel I can say I don't really notice a difference in lag. 4.2.1 never lagged for me before and I can't understand what people are talking about. Maybe it's because I never experienced the previous versions before...
You can install Beach Buggy Blitz from Market. It is free game with great graphics. Then you can see lags, with gaming. And there is no solution for this.

Lag with a specific game is not general system lag...
All of these "lag" threads all go the same place; every random direction. No coherent information is ever formed..
I too would like to figure out how to get rid of the random lags after waking the device, during IO, just random other times while using the device etc.. I'll try a kernel, maybe a custom ROM at some point, maybe I've waited too long, but I've been using the stock rooted ROM. First device I kept the stock ROM on since I got my Nexus One, at least for a while
4.2.1 here with 0 lag. Currents background data WAS enabled, but I just shut it off. Thanks for the tip.
What kind of lag? While doing what? Without a proper description don't expect too much help.
Like everyone has said it is hard to tell without more information but generally custom kernels do provide better performance overall and therefor would probably be best for covering all the bases.
Like all machines aren't created equal, I don't seem to be experiencing any kind of lag on my device, as it is buttery smooth even in stock rom. I guess your device maybe running hot?
So I installed Franco on it, and lo and behold, the device got a lot more smoother, still running stock ROM.
But the battery is taking a plunge!! No idea why. Perhaps a re charge will solve problems.
It helps quite a bit but still nowhere near the smoothness of 4.1.2. Recent Apps button still takes a while to load for example.
My stock 4.2.1 is quite smooth, even better than a lot of custom roms. A different kernel improves it a bit, but not by much.

i lag too. I think it is because of lack of ram. I always have to manually close out all apps to make things smooth again.(hulu and netflix use alot of ram)

Questions about the phone (gonna buy it soon)

Hey guys. I am going to (probably) buy this phone as it is really good/cheap but before i do i would like to ask some questions.
1st. Does it have the new UI of lg? If not is there any news about getting it? (You know the same as LG G3) thats the main reason i want to buy it.
2nd. I like games like dead trigger 1. How does it perform? is it playable at Low-Medium-High-Very high[with GLtools].
3rd. Is this phone going to be updated to Android L? I have been searching for hours but couldn't find something except that android L is 64bit and probably wont run on our phone.
these are my questions till now. thank you in advance!
1 If you root and install cyanogenmod, you can choose a theme (like G3)
2 I don't know
3 who knows, but with cyanogenmod (or other custom rom) there is a lot more possible!

i am sorry but i hate cyanogenmod 100% stock android look. android by default is super ugly and not even the best theme for cm can fix that
Then you have to look for an other solution (or phone)

thank you for the info . But i would like to know is there any performance difference between cm11 and stock?
I know ram is better on CM but what about Gpu?
The performance is way better, I don't play games on it, but I noticed when I used scr which is using gpu to render. When I recorded a test, it was smooth.

I forgot to ask what about speaker quality is it good? Is it loud?
What do you consider loud? I use it to listen to music while showering and I hear everything, though I have to say that I sample all my songs 125% louder.

i can consider it loud when i have it an an other room inside my bag and i can hear it while it is ringing . For example my Sony xperia neo v is super loud.( it has Xloud by Sony).
Then it's loud enough

Sorry to bother you, but... mine lags (occasionally) even on the lowest settings. So how come CM11 fixes that ? (I mean, Adreno 305 can never outperform Adreno 320)

If you want to root and install CM11 they have a LG G3 theme (Im using it atm) and it looks great.

Hi there. I am not willing to install CM11 as it has the aosp look which is UGLY. No mater the theme you put on it. It is ugly. If i get the phone i will create my own themes and try to make this phone look like g3.
If someone needs cm11 then i believe Moto G is better.

I don't know, I just say in my case Dead Trigger 2 from madfingers (I think) played with no lag at all, needless to say I used to play it quite often on settings that were the highest possible (yes, I did see the difference in graphics after changes, but not in performance)
That's strange because, then it would mean there is no difference between the two GPUs. On my phone, there is no way to play on highest settings. (I tried it today) I can get it to run, but, the frame rate is too choppy.
I'll investigate this further as I'm not sure what settings allow 305 to perform like 320 (which would be great)
@OP
You should learn more about this because, by default, the device cannot run at highest settings without stuttering. (it's a 305)

you can give gltools a try. It may increase the fps a bit.
