[Q] Is Chainfire 3D Safe? Formula to Improve Gaming Performance? - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hello Folks,
I`ve been on an infinite quest for having a lagless/slowness free device since I got it. In the middle of it I found out about the Chainfire 3D that could maybe help, but I also found out it`s quite risky and I haven`t found anyone who has tried it on our device yet.
Do you know of anyone who has entered in this risky path and succeeded?
I actually only want a lagless phone when it comes to gaming. I know that there are many threads about it, but believe me, I`ve read them all and all of them give only advices that helps, but don`t resolve the problem.
Don`t come with the: "the game is not yet optimized for Tegra 3", because in some cases like Shadowgun THD, the game lags anyway.
My 4X HD out of the box was terrible in gaming. Now with 10E, root access and governor/clock manipulation it's got much better, but STILL lags once in a while playing simple games like Jetpack Joyride or even Angry Birds! And LOTS of problems if you scale up to heavy games! That`s very frustrating!! :crying:
Do you guys have any formula or a way you`ve found to play games well?? If you do, please help! I`ve heard about the new updates but some people said it doesn`t really matter so, I`d rather wait for an update in my country.
Thank you!! and sorry if this is not the right place for it and for the long post!

In most phones it improves it. Not sure in the 4x because I didn't try it yet. Don't feel the desire on bricking my phone im case it won't work.

Good point, I played Shadowgun THD on Galaxy 2 and it rocks (gpu OC to 400mhz).
Thing that should help us is update o CPU-GPU governor and latest GPU drivers. Let´s hope they will come with JB or after unloced bootloader we will have great custom kernel...

I've installed on my O4X, the app Chainfire.the extra drivers. It works fine and I didn't have any weird crashes, hang-ups nor restarts. I didn't notice any improvements however.
The advice I have to offer, is to get an app like SetCPU, create a profile that will launch when you play a game, and set the governor to performance mode and lock the highest frequencies, from 1.2 to 1.5 GHz. Then it will run great. At least it does on me. From the games I've played so far, including Galaxy on Fire 2 THD, History Channel's Great Medieval Battles, NFS Most Wanted, Angry Birds Star Wars HD, Zombie Driver THD, RiptideGp, Beat Hazard Ultra, Canabalt HD,Dragon Slayer, when I start them with this profile, I don't get any lags. Remember also, that a game needs RAM memory to run fluidly. Run a utility to clear on RAM before starting a gaming session (just like a computer), or go to developper options and limit the number of background processes.

That's what I told someone too. 1500 MHz performance when playing games and then there is no issue.

than I have a problem, cuz I set the governor to performance - min 1500 and it reduces lag A LOT, but not all the time. I cut the ram use too.
What update are you using? Or maybe I`m missing something...
Are you sure chainfire didn`t change anything? I think I`ll give it a try!
Thanks for you help!! :cyclops:

Let me see if I understand...
You set the governor to 1500 min. and you CUT the RAM???
What improvement are you trying to do?

There was a little misunderstanding here. I tried to mean I FREE some ram!

I used Chainfire on ICS with no problem, yet there was no improvements in gaming.
Tried to use it on JB V20A and it bricked my phone! Nothing a reflash couldn`t fix it, but if you`re on JB, don`t try it.

A very soft brick... Advanced restore of system in CWM Recovery should help. If there is a proper backup...

Chainfire is not compatible with any JB ROM, in fact officially it doesn't even support ICS. Wish he would update it, the msaa settings were great!

Heavy games problem

Hello guys my problem today is heavy games like mass effects and asphalt 6
Problem is my phone runs those games slowly very slowly and I think it should be faster than this but why heavy games are slowly if we compare it with iPhone 4 (has same processor speed)iPhone runs them very fast so should I do something to run them vary fastwithout hangs thnx

Try closing some background apps. Performance also depends on what android version you run (but I don't think you use Froyo, gingerbread is way better )

GPU in Black is not first class. Actually it's rather old and even if CPU speed is the same than in Apple then GPU is much way weaker.
Can I use chainfire???!!!!
chainfire will make only things worse - it will emulate another GPU...
Sorry I mislead you - GPU in IPhone4 is comparable with that in Black - IPhone4S
just crashes Black's...
I don't have those games so I can't check how it run at my config. But Real Racing 2 runs fine on Black.
thats wierd cause, if my mind doesn't trick me, I remember when first using my OB for first time, a year ago or something, it had froyo and asphalt6HD and I spend hours playing it without problem before I even know about this forum...
now with the big wave of new roms, you can play almost anything you want

that is absolutely not true!!!!....the GPU of black is still on par with most mid range droids rolling over adreno 200/205.
and of the Iphone, i feel u r comparing OB with iPhone 4 and not 4S, since they are on par. iPhone 4's GPU is as much powerful as OB's. the optimization is of the light (read "flash" free )OS
my OB plays most games seriously well... i feel it's a seriously well balanced device for the price range.
@hemo ali: try and use a task manager before your game start to clear off and release RAM. and avoid intensive apps like browsing, streaming etc while playing.
or better yet, get zeus/marvel
thnx for advice I hope to use zeus or marvel but my problem is in rtl support
is Zeus or Marvel supports rtl???
also what about graphics can I use chainfire without getting worse graphics??
okay another big problem after installing chainfire drivers And i noticed it goes well
but now another big problem(priority is very high)phone full hangs and stopped 4time/1day And I should release battery then put it again why is it related with chinfire???!!
I use cm7.2 rc3 with heux 4.0 kernerl, with chain fire 3d with smartass2 governer.
I play asphalt6, st iv and ShadowGun.
I dont find any perofrmance issues.
The games some time lag, and I see in CPU spy the CPU is stuck at 300 Mhz, killing the game and relaunching it fixes it. I see in CPU spy that CPU is scalled at 1 Ghz
I use Zeus 6.28n and i play both games + front line commando.. and i have no lag and works fine. i didn't change any frequency.. i use RARELY the memory booster when i switch from game to game..

Improve 2d performance?

Hi there.
Well I found a couple of threads on how to improve 3d graphics performance but nothing on 2d which is more important to me. So that's why Im asking you guys if anybody knows anything please do let me know even a tinny bit of help would be absolutely appreciated. Cheers !!!

does anybody have any idea ???
OC? or chainfire 3D?
Sent from my GT-P6200 using Tapatalk 2
cheers mate.
but I was thinking of something like tweaks or adreno libs or some sort of script or hardware acceleration or kernel stuff or... not chainfire or oc (overclocked to 980mhz, well it did make stuff a bit smoother but I can't keep it that high, phone will simply melt down, why should we even have to overclock, that just shows the weakness of the OS, 800mhz should be enough to process simple 2d stuff )
Something that could actually make a difference, I'm starting to get fed up with android, my ace originally runs at 800mhz but an iPhone 3gs runs at 600mhz and it doesn't lag as much (in fact it doesn't lag at all, it has less ram than ace)
thanks anyway
Find this line in build.prop
Debug.sf.hw=1
And change it to
#debug.sf.hw=1
already done that, dunno may be it makes things a bit smoother but I didn't notice it so much. thank you very much anyway

I just wanna open up my app drawer and scroll between pages and have no lag i have tried different launchers (go, holo, qq ...) or the phone lags if I scroll down in the settings menu wtf there is literally nothing there but text and a black background.

performance doesn't really drain my battery and my phone doesn't get as hot as before, interactive works well too

well, here's my opinion about "our-mighty" lag problem.
1. android bellow 3.0(1.5 - 2.3.7) is not using hardware to render UI, it use software rendering instead, so this explain why iPhone 3G(128MB ram, 434Mhz ArmV6, PowerVR MBX<==same GPU as nokia N95) UI scrolling is waaayyy smoother than SGA. even galaxy note is doesnt as smooth as iPhone 3g.(stock GB firmware)
2. android 3.0 & 4.0 is render UI with GPU, BUT some kind of thread-that-response-for touch is not on the TOP PRIORITY, this explain why ICS is lag...specially for our device, and ICS from maclaw is still have some graphical glitches.
3. wanna smooth UI?? try JB alpha.....i think there is no solution for LAG, at least at the moment......

NeedForSpeed MostWanted works

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.

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.

NFS MW is working on HD2 without any problem! The game is really good. You can watch a short movie from the game, just search on youtube: NFS MW HTC HD2
I play this game on paranoidandroid without overclocking. Only thing you must do is to change build.prop file.
Sorry for my eanglish
I certainly wouldn't say without any problems. The game runs at half the speed it should! Even then, I'm impressed at how smooth it is since it's running on such old hardware.

Do you have a problem like me: You're racing and suddenly the game crashes because of GPU, RAM?
If you don't, how did you fixed it? I tried with that ram manager pro setted to hard gaming but I don't think it's due RAM.
When installed chainfire3d, it crashed my phone so I had to reflash my rom(stupid man forgot to backup current).

If you have the softbuttons activated, it won't download because of that.

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.

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.

V20B Gaming Lag, Unleash Tegra 3 (doesnt work, Tested)

i say again, MAYBE this idea will work
I've done this on my own 4X and it's still working now, no bootloop; as long as you follows my simple guide below.
Antutu: 12930 (doesn't neccesary mean anything) - Me
Real Racing 3 personal experience: Alot better. (All 4 cores fired up) - Me
Code:
I remember in the thread back in [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837924"]August 2012[/URL] that there's this fix to move NvCPLsv.apk from system/bin to system/app
to improve battery life.
then people are saying that is some profile and power management stuff for Tegra 3.
and some people are experiencing or expecting lag or improvement.
But the thing was shifting the apk infact doesn't do anything because there wasn't any .odex
Now that in V20B HK there's this apk in its 'rightful' location and that THERE's ODEX now,
i thought perhaps its exactly why we are having lag now.
because some poorly tweaked settings in nvcplsv.apk?
Remove gaming lag in V20B, Unleash Tegra 3 on LG Optimus 4X.
1. To do so, go to system/app
2. Look for NvCPLSV.apk and its NvCPLSV.odex
3. Rename them to NvCPLSV.apk.BAK
NvCPLSV.odex.BAK
4. You are done for this folder,
now go to data/dalvik-cache
5. Clear dalvik cache
6. Turn off phone
7. Boot into stock recovery (Hold Vol - and power button until you see the recovery screen)
8. Clear cache partition and nv partition, reboot phone
9. You are done, play some game.
NOTES
Don't be surprised if you don't see all 4 cores fired up all the time. Probably its because the load didn't require anything more.
But if the game was laggy and still receives 1 core treatment, try other game (developer error maybe). If still the same, then this trick isn't working.
Side effect may include increased battery consumption
To undo return step 3 to normal state, and proceed down the steps.
Im not a dev. This trick was pure logical assumptions. For assistance in CWM or other more-than-stock issue SOMEONE ELSE PLEASE HELP :laugh:

I remember in the thread back in August 2012 that there's this fix to move NvCPLsv.apk from system/bin to system/app
to improve battery life.
then people are saying that is some profile and power management stuff for Tegra 3.
and some people are experiencing or expecting lag or improvement.
But the thing was shifting the apk infact doesn't do anything because there wasn't any .odex
Now that in V20B HK there's this apk in its 'rightful' location and that THERE's ODEX now,
i thought perhaps its exactly why we are having lag now.
because some poorly tweaked settings in nvcplsv.apk?

You're onto something here, im getting good multi core usage with nova 3 now. Gonna test some other stuff and report back

I'm downloading amazing Spiderman for testing and got quite some heat, if this has disabled all thermal protection we need to be careful, for now its the same as a mc4 online sesh so nothobg extreme yet

how to wipe NV partition with CWM?
i wiped regular & dalvik cache, tried NFS, still mostly uses one core, and has lag when running into a roadblock.

As im not a dev i have no idea whether thermal protections are gone or we are taking out poorly set gaming profile
Im receiving all 4 cores on Real Racing 3 though...

I have no idea dealing with CWM LOL
Maybe NFS at certain point of time doesn't require anything more than 1 core. idk.
me too on Real Racing 3 most of the time dont get more than 1 core. but when the time comes i got all 4 at 100%
How to measure CPUs and battery hot exactly? I think we have to be very carefully and we need to test everything on V10H or V20A.
EDIT: I still believe LG can step up somehow. If Nexus 7 can run Real Racing 3 smooth, why O4X can not? CPU is even faster (don't know about GPU MHz) than in Nexus 7.
cpu's you can track with overlay programs like perfmon, as for battery, i'm not sure which, but there are programs that measure battery temperature for sure.

Spiderman lags as ever, I truly think gameloft screwed this game up though so I'm continuing, to test, dead trigger next

Modified first post
added OT warning and updated undo method.
added comments provided. if you guys don't mind
Re: [FIX] V20B Gaming Lag, Unleash Tegra 3 (MAYBE, Tested)
Dead trigger seems a little smoother, played 2 rounds in arena and the cores seem to fire up when a new wave starts. Some micro stutters but more playable than before. Seems hit & miss really, I think tegra is still being conservative with multi core use. If theres a governer for firing up the cores we need to modify that somehow

Shadowgun deadzone also smoother, didn't check core usage though so maybe just the server

hmmm I have V20B which has no root but I cant rename the files on OI File Manager
Should it also work with CWM?
Edit: I did with CWM, without nv partion wipe (because I didn't find!), will try now
Re: [FIX] V20B Gaming Lag, Unleash Tegra 3 (MAYBE, Tested)
Shadowgun was just the server, it just lagged on me. Still not paying for premium from what I've found this does very little after playing games for longer I found games going back to one core, sadly I think I was placeboed. Theres a lot of tegra stuff in the /d folder, I wpuld bet that if therea a cure thats where to find it.

Just tried this and ran Antutu and Quadrant.
Quadrant was 1400 points lower (4010 vs 5442) and Antutu was about 3000 points lower (10000 vs 13000), so this app IMO helps with performance.
after reinstating it, my scores went back to normal.
it was worth a shot though. cheers op

You're welcome, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39867039 seems the problem is the cpu up threshold is too high, meaning by the time it ramps up its already overloaded and caused some lags. By lowering this I get better multi core, this time I actually feel a significant reduction of frame dipping

Mm, wondered about that. As far as I know the access time between the cores on the bus is supposed to be extremely quick. But maybe that changes when the cores are about to idle, or it conflicts with some garbage collection taking place when they go down..? So that if all cores are active, the direct addressing to the "video ram" these apps tend to use works. But when one or two cores go up and down, the response on the calls drop? And maybe drop irregularly depending on how many processes need to unwind...? Could explain why some people seem to get crazy lag, and others don't really see it.

[Q] cpu performance

I want to know that how can I find that my cpu & gpu processors are working well ?
you know in some games I have few problems , few delays and I'm confused.
for example for "Subway Surf" I think there must be no delay or lag !
And the other question , what's your suggestion for an excellent Task Manager ?
I have tried some and now I have GO on my phone but I'm so willing to know the better one !
I sometimes got lagg on subway surf
And it only happens on stock rom tho
Its gone for me now on cm10.1
Try benchmarking apps if u really want check
Quadrant standart
Antutu
Are 2 good ones

Everything is probably ok. Our phone isn`t very good for games (stock) and JB became for slow for some.
Look for Gaming threads but, I can tell you this:
Root
Install Tegra Overclock (not tegrak) and set GPU Clock to 380 (more stable for me) or 416 for 3D and 2D. In Core Count, tick Force selected number of CPUs Online ONLY WHEN YOU WANT TO PLAY.
Maybe play with the thermal throttle.
Look for other kernels that support higher GPU clock. (don`t really recommend).
This is me, don`t know other users opinion:
Install Autokiller Memory Optmizer and set it to Extreme. This will consume more battery (my testing) but eliminates system UI lag.
This should do it.
Oh, of course, your Antutu Benchmark should result around 13k, but dont worry if you get 12k, it varies quite a bit.
I used LG boost app from development thread every time I wanna play
