Is there a way to stop apps such as Sonic CD and Nes.emu to stop running at stupid, unplayable framerates. This is just an example and im sure many more games and apps run like this. I would be very grateful if you could help as it is a problem i have had for a long time.
Enable frame limiter in emulator.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
how?
which emulator are you using ?
Gesendet von meinem LG-P990
I have the same problems with Sonic CD and Gensoid (it's a little buggy, on Galaxy S it's PERFECT). Yeah, we need a frame limiter, but
1 - in Gensoid it's already activated and it's not working perfectly like a Galaxy
2 - in Sonic CD you can't activate a frame limiter because it's a game from the Market, not an emulator that you can modify. I wanted to play a fast sonic game, but this is TOO FAST!
So I'm searching for a method to insert a framelimiter directly on the video card or an external program to active frame limiter on the apps I want
Did i understand right.. you want to make the game run slower ? Then you should GameCih from the market, its a cheat program but there you can make it slower
I've tried it, but the game become so laggy... The problem is not "to slow down the game", but insert the limits on video card because on Galaxy S this game runs perfectly without GameCIH or other programs, maybe because there's a limit of 60fps that there isn't on the optimus dual
EDIT: I've heard about tweaking build.prop... Maybe we could insert an fpslimit in it... but HOW?

has anyone got battleheart to work on the latest miui. I bought the game off the android market and it works fine on iceandfire (supercharged) but on miui it wont work. can anyone help. It clsoes after the batterheart logo (stays on black screen for a while then closes). Im guessing this is a ram issue. correct me if im wrong
Charlie
P.s im using zepplinrox's supercharger for miui too
on the market it says it is compatible with moto milestone so i guess if u can run it on stock then ther must be sumthin to do with the rom .. cuz ive also experienced tht certain games dnt work on miui but work on cronos ..
if it was a free games i wud have tried it n let u knw ..

have u played modern combat 2 .. its very heavy on graphics n ive played it without ne glitch n lag on cronos .. with miui it did lag .. so i presume its the rom at fault ..
Yea I play modern combat 2. Its a great game. Can't believe its only £3. It seems to work fine on iceandfire.
Damn I was hoping it wouldn't be a ram issue with miui. If only the milestone had swap.

Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
sorry but what does swap do .. can u explain ? .. i got no idea ???
Well a swap space/file is like an extension of ram. Think of it as adding some extrra ram to your phone. But the issue is a swap space is no where near as fast as ram so it makes your phone "slower" when it is used. But then at least with a swap space/file apps and stuff won't crash.

Not neccessarily. I don't see myself getting a new phone. The milestone does everything I want and with its flexible voltage selection the battery lasts a long time. Hehehe. I'm sticking to my milestone since I have a herotab c8m to do all my gaming and films

MIUI can be RAM intensive over time even if it doesn't come accross laggy when running after a fresh boot.
However few hours after i have noticed random lags most probably due to RAM management issues.
IMO, the device is a bit limiting. and for obvious reasons.
mobile tech has been developing like a bottle rocket....
and milestone has been like the first generation terminator....
strong & rigid while easy with expansion/developement....
i was wondering if our o2x is really doing multitasking.
because when im playing youtube then switch to facebook, when i go back to youtube, it was paused then will be doing the buffering again.
same on browser, when i am watching video on it, when i switch to different app, when i go back to browser, it stopped playing.
is it just me?

Are you on stock or using a custom rom like cm7?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
Blame this on the optimus 2x's lack of ram.
Android does allow multitasking, but when there are too many apps running, and free memory gets low, it automatically kills off apps that are minimised.
I find that the original rom is rather inefficient in ram. I am running CM7 KANG by Temasek, and find that apps close in the background much less frequently. On original ROM, just opening one other app would easily close the previous one, while on CM7, I could open a couple of games and still see my web browser/youtube app running.

Flash a custom rom on your phone with an additional ramhack (see my signature Vadonkas KANG kernel) this will give you some extra RAM.
YouTube always pauses the video when you close the app. Same goes for the browser. Has nothing to do with the device. I run MIUI and 32mb ram hack and it still happens..

True. It has more to do with how the app is coded. And in this case, the Youtube app is designed to pause and clear the memory to not waste too much ram by accident.
Another example with the same behavior is Opera Mobile. Using Opera Mini however, you'll notice that it saves your state from wherever you left the app.
thanks guys! i think this is not rom problem. im on cm7 latest temasek kang with vadonka based version kernel. i believe our o2x is really not multitasking. on browser and on youtube app, o2x fail.. im starting to hate this phone. (sigh)

In that case, no phone is really "multitasking", it's litterally a memory management issue.
You can try tidying up your phone and clearing it's cache.
I have tried the galaxy 2 and it's very similar to the o2x, only the camera and the browser are more higher than the dual. I haven't tried the galaxy nexus but I think that this a problem of every smartphone

Run a ram script. Such as v6superscharger. Or if you look through the android developement threads their might be a customized one for our o2x. The scripts change the values so each app is less likely to be killed and ram management is amazingly bretter.

A few posts up I said it has nothing to do with neither the devices' ram nor android memory management. But still everybody gives advice on how to improve this management.
It's the YT app pausing the video and not Android! If Android had something to do with it, it would have closed the app instead of simply pausing the video.
I wonder if some here are incapable of reading..

The OP mentioned that the youtube app buffers again, which shouldn't be the case. The OP should have expected the video to remained paused at that same point and the buffer to not disappear. But the app reloads itself when it gets killed, buffering again.

Just for the record and remind some f you, O2X doesnt do **** for multitasking, ITS THE OS, please keep that in mind (yes we know O2X comes with really crappy software, but if youre here on XDA you probably flashed... I mean fixed that )
Now its true, stock kill apps almost immediately even freaking docs then browser then back to docks... feels like an ithing (even now it doesnt do much multitasking, what it does it saves a preview and when you re-open it shows you the preview instantly but it loads a while, not immetiately responsive), but a custom rom, oh thats a whole new story, best one is CM7/MIUI and even better a custom CM7 kang the best imho
My advice try not multitask with more than 2 app which require heavy ram, like Nova 2 & opera browser, just remember this u won't get any problem.

Hi guys, my GTA III is giving much lag, even when I'm riding a car, he starts to give travadinhas as if loading the map. I have the rom Modaco with the original kernel of the rom.
I wonder if anyone has this same problem and if you have any solution?
GTA III is a high performance game requiring high end graphics. Maybe the settings pre-installed in your game in the sd-card are that of max performance. You see O2X lacks sufficient RAM to run games like GTA III. Try changing the settings of graphic parameters. Also, Background apps are bound to make it slower...

Simply reboot phone if you havent done this for some time.
You don't need a tweak for that game, it runs very well on p990, there's something wrong with your rom.
Somethings erong with ur rom mine doesnt lag at all

Yup same here, even in stock ROM I didn't have any problems and the game ran fine with default options.
Mirroring the other posters, there is nothing wrong with the phone, it is more than capable. Even with graphics forced highest it runs perfectly.
I suggest trying another ROM, or be 100% sure you don't have things running in background.

Thanks. I resolved the problem installing Temasek rom (CM7). Now this game run perfectly.

What ROM are you using? Always kill apps before starting, and try lower graphics (in 1.3).

And Survival Run is always lagging badly at first run when I turn on game, when it`s like 2-3 run lagggs disappears. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix this?
Clear background applications and processes. Also a small overclock (up to say 1.2 GHz) will hep at the expense of a smaller processor lifetime

I've ask the same question many times to myself , wasn't until I make some tweaks , the lag when away. But the homie isn't rooted , that is though .
Get an app killer , and kill everything before you play it . That is the only thing you can do for now , also disable sync , that is what notice te lag came , and also receiving text and instant message , like whatsapp or things like that
I recently installed Real racing on xperia sp but after playing it for sometime it just crashes without any warning and the device is usually a little bit hotter at that particular moment.. this doesnt happens to any other game btw... I am only .257 and currently rooted through doomlord's rooting kit..
graphics are splendid.. i dont know what seems to be the problem.. would love to get feedback on this problem!
I think it is because of overheat. If you make some pauses between races or during a long race for the device to get colder you'll be able to play more time. Any thing you do to keep the phone from overheating will let the game last longer without crashing

I play Real Racing 3 all day and I have never experiences crashes (except when trying to use FPS Meter while playing).
Try clearing all your RAM before playing (killing tasks, etc etc), that's what I do, or you can install RAM Manager and set to Hard Gaming.

Actually I don't play other heavy games so I don't know. It was also crashing on my device but since I blow some fresh air on the back of my device between each race to get it colder, I haven't had crashes anymore. That's why I thought of overheat. Also I found once an app called "prevent overheat" in the running apps just after I played Real Racing 3. Still it may just be a lack of RAM. Or maybe next winter when it's not as hot as now it'll work better
Edit :
I just remembered I also changed ROM to one with other memory management. Maybe that made the difference.
I am also having same issues. Earlier I thought it is due to overheat as I used to play CSR Racing for few minutes & then play RR3. But for last 2 days it crashes as soon as the 1st race, that too when RR3 is the 1st game I play after picking up my phone.
Thanks for the replies guys.. Sorry for the late reply.. I was searching for the solution on my own.. First of all I installed game booster from play.. It gave me a head start of above 10-15 races.. I thought this might do it.. What game booster does is it only frees more ram and shut down processes on its own.. But after 10-15 races.. It crashed so I came to the conclusion that it was a combined problem of ram and overheating.. There should be a solution for overhearing.. I tried removing the back cover while playing and blowing some air.. Lol.. But it isn't that effective.. It just prolongs the crash..

I guess you should try and backup your data (and you internal SD Card), reset your phone and see if that helps.
Maybe 1 app is hogging the CPU and RAM...

Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app
I have updated my SP to 2.245 build version & now I can play RR3 for about 30 mins before the game crashes. I just restart the game & can now play for another 15-20 mins before 2nd crash. Occasional stuttering is also there.
On older versions like 1.257, it used to crash after 15 mins maximum at first. After that, it used to last for one race maximum before crashing again.
So I can say that 2.245 update has solved the issue to a large extent.
