Hi,
I just bought the new GTAIII game for my lg optimus 2x but the game looks worser then games where you DONT need tegra. I'm using cynogenmod (latest nighlies version, so 1 month old). Anyone a Idea how to change settings or to make the game look better?
(I MEAN ITS NOT SHARP)
thanks
Check the in-game settings? GTA3 isn't available in my country, so I don't know much. AFAIK, there's no setting changes.
Or maybe you could try ChainFire's driver?
@Aricci
I would agree with thol85 to look for in game settings first.
ChainFire 3D drive might be a tip, but AFAIR there isn’t any option for sharpening besides MSAA.
…and MSAA isn’t supported by the tegra 2 GPU build in the Optimus 2x
The Bravia Engine for Optimus 2x might help, but right now (AFAIK) there is only a patch for the camera app available…

Don’t know if it is of any use for your problem – hadn’t a chance to try right now – besides I don’t have GTA III.
And did you look into this thread?

You could try a "market enabler" from the android market - and any app should be available as you wish...
The mobile port is just not that sharp as the original, I don't think you can do anything against that, it is still very enjoyable IMO.

you also have to consitter that gta 3 is a very old game. it looks better in my phone than i remember it in playstation 2
Does anyone know when the next software update for the 4X will avail?
Features I think should be added:
Better battery consumption
Quick Voice
Notification LED for back light buttons

current technology do not offer better batteries at all, so wishing that is like hoping we can advance the hardware, without new technology.
your best and current way of seeing a better battery life is using a OC app, and turn down top speed on all cpu's. and thats how LG sell you improved lifetime on batteries, and you hardly notice. secondly undervolt it and use a different governor too.
Seems there is new V10E for Benelux, Czech and Germany. Folks on Russian forums have successfully applied this update, but so far no info about any significant changes.
These updates are available at lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15

I do use an OC app but just to set the min to 860. I don't want to change the max because overall this is a 1.5GHz phone and that's the main reason I bought it. I kinda see a improvement in bat life.

Having sold my Galaxy S3 and bought one of these there are two really annoying things,
1- You can't organize your app tray into alphabetical
2- They have removed the inbuilt battery % function.
I know I can use custom launchers, but I shouldn't have to and any advice on a decent app for battery % or maybe I am missing something
You mean percentage on battery icon?
You must tick Battery percentage in Power saver settings

Use the app NoLed for notifications, it's a great tool

Actually do use Touch LED notifications app but it drains battery cause its always running in the backgrounds and it's a third party app which I don't like

According Russian forums so far known these changes in V10E:
you can turn off shutter sound in camera;
new sound for alarm clock;
new icon for stock browser;
improved overall and in games performance;
probably less RAM usage.

Download gamebooster 2 from Google play, seriously just do it. Nova 3 was running terribly so I installed this and enabled ultra gaming mode, what a difference! It seems the phone is badly optimized for some games, this app helps a bunch
Sent from my LG-P880
not so sure about this..
#FAQ
Q: How does this app work?
A: It kills useless running apps and free up memory before launching your game, so your game will run more smoothly.
can do this with a taskmanager, cant i?
and only should make a difference when you forgot to close some memory-consuming apps that still run in the background...
if you close apps with the "back"-key and not just background it with the "home"-key, then you shouldnt really notice a difference.

I forgot to mention also force all cores online. Trust me there's a difference, what's the obsession with task killers? The apps just restart again claiming more of your memory. The difference with a root app like this is the ram component actually alters the out of memory values in the system. Standard task killers are a waste of space in my opinion, especially on apps with background services. The optimus 4x is badly optimized for games and whatever this does it works, gonna test on Spiderman and post my results

Oh and read the description: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tm_medium=organic&utm_term=gamebooster+2+play that's more than just killing tasks.
Edit: Not much difference on Spiderman, that one needs fixed

hm
i am used to change the governor to "performance" even on my pc, when i play games that put my system to the limit, so i do that on my phone, too
i use "CPU Master free" for that, works like a charm.
maybe i'd use this app with a lower specs phone, but atm there are plenty of games out there i can play perfectly fine, in fact i didnt find a game thats lagging at all, be it vice city, horn or order and chaos.
well if i experience a situation where i need even more cpu cycles, i will give this a try.
but 2€ is too much at the moment for an app i dont need.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT RESULTS FROM USING THIS TWEAK, RAISING THE THRESHOLDS OF BUILT IN SAFETY FEATURES MAY DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE
I saw a few people have tried to alter this file with no success, weird when its the same permissions as temp_throttle and temp_shutdown. Here is a working method to alter this value, to be entered in terminal:
su
cat /d/tegra_thermal/temp_throttle_skin > data/local/tmp/temp_throttle_skin
echo 50000 > data/local/tmp/temp_throttle_skin
cat /data/local/tmp/temp_throttle_skin > /d/tegra_thermal/temp_throttle_skin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This tweak helps performance especially when charging, but be aware other parameters or kernel bugs can cause poor clock speeds and core use
Notes:
Do not use "echo 50000 /d/tegra_thermal/temp_throttle_skin" as a shortcut, this doesn't work.
I told the devs of tegra overclock about this, it's coming in the next release
If you are not sure if it worked just go to /d/tegra_thermal/temp_throttle_skin in es file explorer and open it as text, you will see it's current value
To set this at boot you will have to make an init.d script, otherwise you can open your terminal preferences and paste the command in "initial command", this way as soon as you open the terminal the commands will be executed automatically

ofc, just a note, you'll have to run this command every time you reboot, or make init.d script. thank you for this :good:
btw, just wanted to say, changing this value doesn't remove throttle for me. i still get throttled down at 40ish temperature of battery (on werewolf stock version, and yeah, the file reads 50000, or whatever the value i put in)

i've just tested iodak & werewolf, both throttle down at, what i presume, is around 40c battery temp. doesn't matter which governor i use.

no problem, man.
i just can't understand what the problem is for me, and why it's not working. on PH85's kernel, i dont get throttled almost at all. his tegra_throttle_skin is set to 48000 on boot. iodak and werewolf are on 43000, and i get throttled almost as soon as i start using the phone for something that uses all four cores (it's quite noticable on benchmarks f.e., since it will often throttle during the test itself :/). i tried your method of echoing to temp file then echoing it back, tried root explorer text editor, and saving it. the file shows the change, but no change in the performance.

Well you verified it changed the value so theoretically it should work. Does the value stay the same when it throttles? Try leaving the terminal window open to force the value to stay

Another one its not working for!? Maybe I did something else, but I don't think so... Perhaps the problem for you guys is the throttling is caused by something else
Sent from my rooted P880
I must say I still occasionally get this throttling, but nowhere near as often. I think for this value to work all the time it has to be the kernel default. I find when I set it at boot it seems to work, but if I forget and it throttles, enabling it doesn't help. For those on CPU variant 2 and above use ph85, it has skin throttle @48 default. I am variant 0

Hey guys after long research i finally found how to solve forever the gaming smoothness and all performance with our p9
You just st have to be rooted and paste and replace those 3 files inside the . zip to this directory
/product/etc/hwpg
I could play all games, chain lots of benchmark without any lag
You can look at the screenshot to see my performance on antutu before my scores goes to 97000 to 83000 after 3 test.
I can also say i'm able to play modern combat 5, gt racing 2 without any lag at all
Test and tell me how your P9 look like a P10 now
On this screenshot you can see all improvement you'll get in front of stock P9 with really better scores on games
I think thats the max huawei allows, there can be more if a custom kernel or sources exist.

To be honest i have to test one fully day but it seems very good cause i just modded thermal configuration to haven't this huawei's disaster throttling.. So, task are done faster with higher cpu frequencies but with shorter time... I did some game and i can see my battery stay very good!
Plus when i saw configuration of those thermal files i could see it started throttling at 44 degrees.... So it was very low
If you want i can post a screenshot of my cpu temp with this mod but it's also very good a'd nit very high
I was test it now on antutu... Original settings: 3D score 10641/total 86541 and text "game performance is mid-level". With this supertweak: 3D score 20399/total 99597 and text"run smoothly for 3D games in mid-quality mode" it's better and faster, but only thing: is this safe to use this tweak ?

For me it's safe i just disable the hard throttling part made by huawei and if you have kernel adiutor or cpu z to control your temp you will see it's not so hot, plus i'm sure always throttling and playing with cpu and gpu freq so much finally eat battery.
Attached a screenshot of my cpu temp
Id either throttling big and work more with little to save battery.
With Geekbench There is no difference between orginal and Supertweak, with AnTuTu I got 98200 Total with Tweak and 94820 without.

Is less heat throttling useful for everyday use without gaming?
For now after three days i can say there is no overheating at all with this tweak, it's super stable and i'm happy with battery now, i just plugged in my phone to charger now since i plugged it off yesterday at 6pm,i played a lot with clash royale and watched some video on youtube and doing facebook

First you must have a rooted phone and replace those files in the good folder with an app like root explorer and after it's done you just have to reboot your phone

With setcpu or other cpu manager app, you can change governor etc, but you can't disable the throttling made by huawei and then without this tweak your phone will slow down even if you put freq to max or governor to performance or not
