Gaming performance

Hi all
Recently I was looking at some videos of people playing dungeon hunter 2 on the motorola milestone. One person was using the milestone official 2.2 update and it seems to be blazingly smooth when running dungeon hunter 2. But I'm on froyomod 2.7 and the gameplay isn't smooth. Is this jsut my phone or is it the rom?
Anyone want to help/discuss?

if u gimme the link to the .apk for the game for milestone ill tell u how to make it work ... i am currently playing modern combat 2 n its as smooth as it can get

I can do it
Did you tried to do a Overclock? Im using a CM7 with Overclock 1.2GHz and it work fine when i'm gaming.

Weird. I'm playing dungeon hunter 2 using froyomod at 1.1ghz. I have no clue why its lagging

Overclocking definitely helps, but the reason why you are probably lagging is due to memory management. Try supercharging your phone by checking out zeppelinrox's supercharging thread in this subforum.

AMM is more of a temporary fix compared to zeppelin's supercharging.

By SC I'm guessing you mean Supercharging?
Luca made his own kind of memory management but it isn't like zeppelin's.

Yes, supercharging!
I prefer to use the luca's way.
On SC/Cm7, I couldn't open too many apps...

heh... actually it doesn't
There are a couple of ROMs that do now tho.. HO!NO! cm7 and MIUI by eybee1970

I modified every CM7 ROM, apply gaming script from zeppelirox, and here is list of games that i can play (smooth) on my MS:
1. Mordem combat 2.
2. Shadow guardian.
3. Setler HD.
4. Starfont collision HD.
5. Rise of Ayden HD.
6. Gun bros 1.4
7. Contract killer
(these 2 glu games are too heavy for MS).
8. Grave defense HD.
9. Guerilla bob.
10. Fast5 (but lag, look like play a slideshow ^_^).

That's funny because luca doesn't even like FroyoMod's current memory management -which is merely aggressive minfree levels.

It's good! But no multitasking! Battery is good also!

LOL! So, my Milestone can run much faster and much more stable?

Keun when u say u can play those games smoothly what do u mean. Because when I was on cm7 modern combat didn't even start and it did start on iceandfire (no supercharger but I was using amm at the time) but it was laggy and eternal legacy didn't really work properly. Also on froyomod shadow guardian does work but is really choppy at times (about 1-2fps) whereas other times it works at about 30-60fps. And dungeon hunter 2 doesn't get past 20fps.
But all this time I didn't have zepplin's supercharger. I only used auto memory manager

I use CM7 here, yesterday night I've tried all v6 options to no avail, Gun Bros won't go past loading screen few seconds after I choose a mission.... Game Settings, Agressive Settings, Ballanced, none worked (not that I'm fanatic for the game, never played it, just curious as many people mention this game)... Perhaps CM7 uses more memory anyway and there is not enough memory even using Zeppelinrox scripts... ?

Try the iceandfire 2.XX. that rom is working well for me. I had gun bros on my defy. Its not that great to be honest and did get boring damn quick

[Q] ROM Performance?

Hello, Do ROM's like CM7 and Darky's ROM etc improve gaming and CPU performance? because im playing Shadow Gun and it's lagging like hell... will installing custom ROM fix this?
P.S sorry for being noob I'm just looking for reasons to flash custom ROM

You won't see a massive difference between ROMs but there is a slight difference. Chainfire from market impacts on performance if used correctly. also I do recommend ICS ROMs. I feel that games run more smoothly on them .

I think that in any ICS ported rom there's a little bit of increase in graphic performance.

Difference in performance is very high to me, but if you want a STABLE ROM I suggest to use Darkyy's one or CM7 stable release...
I'm on ICS by teamhacksung now but I agree with bugs anounced!

If i install darky's rom for example will that stop lag in shadow gun?

I don't now, but I can post my results in Qaudrant and you can see if they are better or not...
I remeber you that I'm on ICS 4.0.3 now, therefore I can only suggest you to give a try to Darkyy's or CM7 and try your game performances...
I only use fruitninja and works like a charm.
If I can help you in flashing other rom just tell me something.

Shadow gun is a very demanding game and the galaxy s has lacking hardware for optimal game play. Software can only do some optimization. You will not get a totally smooth experience with any rom.

Quadrant scores mean absolutely nothing.
For a game like ShadowGun to run as smoothly as possible, I suggest a Froyo ROM and RAM optimization scripts such as ThunderBolt or SuperCharger.

Give up froyo. Go for latest rom and midnight kernel. No ext4! And use agressive lmk settings. And delete all bloatware (you can use my huge list) and use adw launcher with no widgets. Only search and 4 shortcuts. Overclock a little bit. You can't believe your eyes.

Lolz you're sooo wrong. I will put a video for you. It will contain dungeon defenders, shadowgun, blood glory, gta 3, modern combat 3, dungeon hunter 2, nfs shift, asphalt 6 I'm playing all without microlags. Even smoother than most of dual core htc phones. We have a secret weapon that is sgx540 but you must know how to use it

Using your technique described above essentially strips the phone to a minimal and restricts how one would normally go about with an android device. For me that shows sgs lacks hardware for hardcore games.

Let me see this video. I'm calling you out on this, so post a link. I want to see gameplay from ALL of the games you just listed, and if I see absolutely no lag at all then you'd have proved your point. I'm not expecting 60 fps on each of those games, but if you can even achieve 35+ constantly, then it's definitely lag free.

It doesn't, I'm on darky's 10.2.2 now and shadow gun plays smooth as hell, with default it was at like 10fps, now just seems standard 30+fps...

I'd recommend flashing an ICS rom, as the UI is awesome and I also feel like the games/apps run smoother.

Naa, It's only on build #13 at the moment and isn't final release so it won't be super-stable like darky's rom.

Asphalt 7 lags

Hey guys,
I just bought Asphalt 7 from Gameloft website but the game has low fps.
I tried fixing the CPU to 1500 and 1300 MHz but still low fps !
How come the game works fine on HTC One X without modification but lags on our device?

It's probably due to the processor governor. If your phone is rooted, try to install any cpu set app (some are availavle for free in Play Store). Then set your cpu governor to Performance. The default governor on our phone is Interactive.

I tried filling the customer support form, I usually always get a response but none in this case, perhaps the jellybean update (if it ever comes) will give better performance, as benchmarks suffered on the 10h update to increase battery life I'm guessing this is why some games run scrappy, especially nova 3 as the graphics are insane!

With stock kernel 1000000000 custom ROMs won't change that but, with well tweaked custom kernel, even stock ROM will be another world...

i experienced lag mainly with the official firmware but i have not suffered lag since using custonexus and also when i tested kholks cm10 port

True! But with the JB update supposedly the boot-loader is going to be unlocked thus giving developers an opportunity to integrate custom kernels.

It looks to me, comparing videos that p880 video has more details (road surface on one x video looks cleaner like it is simpler rendered). Probably you should somehow adjust rendering details.

[APP] [EMULATOR] PSP Emulator for Android V.8

Hey happy users of the LG Optimus 4X HD, just want to share you this emulator which runs perfectly on our device.
I only tried two games but they are heavy and run pretty smoothly on our device.
I tried : - Dragonball Z Shin Budokai (absolutely fluid)
- PES 2013 (lags sometimes)
There are also a lot of settings so that you can customise your controls.
You can also save and load state easily.
The app is still in beta stage but is being update frequently, the global performance are improved and the list of compatibility gets longer and longer.
Just a little tip : In the settings, Buffered Rendering is ticked by default however if you want get the real and great graphics, untick Buffered Rendering.
Here is the link to the app and its subject : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338818
And here is a second link with a compatibility list : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970933
Hope you'll find the app interesting
