[Q] Touch screen responsiveness in games - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there everyone!
I have a little problem with my Galaxy I9070. When playing Fruit ninja, i noticed, that there is a delay when i try to slice. Feels a lot like frame queing on desktop video cards. I tryed various things to fix it. Installed SGS Touchscreen optimizer, flashed ThunderZap kernel instead of a 4.1.2 stock one. I even tryed to set windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150 in build.prop, but the problem is, the phone won't boot after it. Does that last tweek depend on firmware? I tryed it before i flashed the new kernel (maybe i should try it again after flashink the ThunderZap kernel?).
So, am i missing something? I would really appreciate your help
Device is:
Samsung Galaxy S Advance i9070
Stock android JB 4.1.2 (XXLPY) with ThunderZap kernel on top of it

1. What governor you use? Install no frill cpu from the market. Put it on PegasusQ, and IO to SIO.
2. Do you use some dim screen app?
3. Clean ram before play
4. Press left soft button to options. Uncheck those two stuff if it is checked. Second one is for faster phones (but we do not consider our phone to be slow).
P.S. I just played it, no problems at all.

Thanx for your response! No-frill is installed, governon is ondemand, io is cfq, no dimming app installed. The game runs very smooth, but the slice is delayed :/ maybe it has to do with some sort of Mali tweeks? Is there a way to disable frame que, to make the game more responsive but with less fps? It runs perfectly on my Galaxy S i9000 with 4.2.1 flashed

Try SIO instead of cfq. And I use Z version of firmware, you use Y. Maybe that too... Check force GPU re dering in Settings>Developer options.

Tryed all this :/ The thing is, i don' think you will notice the delay if you don't have something to compare it to. On my i9000 the slice is instant, i can't see the begining of the blade (becouse my finger is always covering it). But on my gf's i9070 it feels like the slice is chasing my finger with a delay. Maybe it has something to do with Y version. But how about windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec option? Whi does it break the booting of the phone?

I was getting bootloops when I changed build.prop with notepad++. Since then I didn't try any of changes in build.prop. I think it would only work with changes from some root explorer. Look for lag fix thread, maybe it is written there what app is that.

Used SE File Explorer to change it :/ maybe has something to do with the kernel not supporting it. I woukdn't call this a lag however. It feels more like some kind of OVERsmoothing

Check permissions of build.prop too. If you do not have mayor problems with cutting those fruits, do not warry.

[Q] Is the anyway to Accelarate GPU?

My note is felling choppiness which moving from different screens . when scrolling text msgs , gallery, web pages. Is this normal ? can we accelarate the GPU? or can we install any other drivers so that the animations can be smooth like iOS or WP7 devices? Even market is very choppy. It feeling like laggy . pictures get cut in middle for some miliseconds. Please do help me on this matter as soon as possible.
That's not normal. Well, the Market is laggy by nature, so we can't do anything about it.
Check your CPU with Watchdog or something and check if a prosess is stuck.

No! This is not normal. Try use a different firmware and do a wipe. My device is faster than even Galaxy S2 on new kernel and firmware.
Do you maybe have power saving enabled? That will make ur note run only half speed.
Try out the FM kernel here. I've been using it for about 1 1/2 weeks with the Governor set to lulzactive via SetCPU, no overclocking and my Note is noticeably more responsive vs stock kernel using the default conservative Govenor.
And yeah, check you're not on power saving mode or something.

Tuning Evervolv ICS less laggy?

Did a fresh install (wiped everything/cache) and using 220sys, 8cache (the one for Evervolv JB, so no change needed if upgradting to JB later) partitions. 1GB a2sd ext. Using smartassv2 governor.
It's laggy ---- press an icon/menu and I can feel significant lag before the app opens, and the time it take to start an app (e.g. facebook,skype, google voice) is MUCH more than CM7.2
Are these things I should try to alleviate this?
Other than the speed problem, it seems to work fine, but it's too slow as a daily driver...
Thanks,

Use Nova launcher and in Developer options turn off all animation. You will see a difference.

I did turn off the animation. However, the lag happens when starting app, going around within app. It feels not just animation related.
Trying BCM(now SpazeDog) now. It feels a bit better. (I did use the same min/max cpu/governor when comparing them)

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Ace remove lag

Hello!
My Ace has a problem. Maybe is not only may Ace, but the thing is, sometimes it turns to be verry slow...I mean, realy slow. This, most of the times, happens after he is in standby mode for a long time.
So, my question is: What is the best rom for resolving this problem, keapping everything working properly?
Thanks
Miguel

I had a custom lockscreen that was very slow. If its when you unlock/bring out of standby then it might be the same thing. Use a small (filesize small) lockscreen and see if that helps. If its large and uses 3d etc then yes, it is slow.

another possible explanation is that some people install battery management profiles eg: cpu tuner.
in this case people somtimes apply an overly restrictive cpu profile on the "screen off" profile so it uses only a small amount of battery. While this does indeed save battery, it also causes there to be a larger delay than normal when unlocking the device from deep sleep.

Try increasing CPU mhz.You can also try tweaking minfree values. one easy way to that is to use ROM toolbox pro Or use RAM manager from the market to give your ace more RAM

[Q] Slow UI, why?

Greetings,
I have a problem with my S Advance. The UI is very slow, the apps working fine, I mean I can play Dead Trigger well, Temple Run 2 also run greats, but the UI is really slow.
I noticed it while I had to look for something on my old Galaxy Ace. And it was pretty weird that it feeled faster than the S Advance. So I compared them, and it was true, the whole UI in the Ace is a lot faster.
So, the best way to show the differences between the speed of UI, I recorded the stock Notes app opening on the both phone.
S Advance: (Sorry for horrible quality)

Galaxy Ace:

Note: the memory was cleaned on both phone so the apps weren't in memory.

Yep.
Well, I decided to downgrade back to GB. I will wait for an official, international JB, I think that will be fine.

For me, CoCore E 5.0 with some props tweak improve ui response significantly.
Here are some ground rules for you to consider.
Use custom launcher like Holo Launcher HD, or if you like stock, go for modded one here in our forum.
Use ui build.prop tweaks like debug.sf.hw, or something similar.
Use good cpu scheduler like pegasusQ or OndemandQ with zen or sio (zen and cfq proven to be stable for me as a multitasker)
Use themed systemui, this helps a little bit, depends on your configuration
Play with your kernel, CoCore have some useful tweaks like Touch Booster controls and etc.
Also try to see your wakelock usage. Greenify proven for me to be most helpful in this area. Good luck
After upgrading to Jellybean (XXLQ4), my S Advance has been faster than ever... hmm.. try this, it could help....
1. Go to Settings > Dev. Options and Check Force GPU Rendering and Disable hardware overlays
2. See what's eating your RAM... sometimes the overall UI gets laggy when the RAM is almost full
3. Make sure your Power Saving mode is turned off... because Temple Run 2 works lag-free even when my Power Saving mode is on
4. Don't use Samsung's stock launcher.. it can get laggy sometimes and eats a lot of RAM btw...
5. Use governors like OnDemand. Performance or PegasusQ with I/Os like SIO or BFQ

Super laggy w/ Kernel tweaks?

Hi all, I'm using Trickdroid and Teamseven's latest kernel and whenever I change a setting using kernel tuner, especially when I change the default i/o scheduler the phone begins to lag like crazy after a few minutes. I can swipe through the app drawer when it's this laggy, and the only way to ":fix" it is to simply uninstall kernel tuner and restart the phone. I've also noticed that CPU 1 or 2 disappear occasionally when I enter the CPU settings page. This happens with pretty much every CPU tweaking program I use, and it happens regardless of whether or not I UV or OC, change the governor, or change I/O. Any suggestions on why this is happening or how to fix it?
thanks

Protip of the day: post like these don't make people want to help you more and they make you sound a bit whiney.
On topic: Nope. I use Bulletproof kernel and SetCPU as my app. They're both pretty basic and fit my needs. Currently have it set on intellidemand governor and fiops I/O. It may be an issue with Teamseven's kernel, the interaction between your ROM and the kernel, or even an issue with that app. I'd suggest searching the Teamseven thread to see if anyone else has had the same issue, and if not, to ask others there/make the devs aware of the issue.
