[Q] full GPU functionality

Hello guys..........
I have bought my Tp lately and today I decided to install a version of android on it.after the installation I decided to perform one of my heavy graphical game which name was Real raceing 2 but it performed very laggy. I used to play this game smoothly with a less powefull device like HTC desire HD.how can it be possible.In alpha versions of android for TP the GPU in not fully functional yet?Am I right?

Strange you mention that cuz I was playing cordy which laggs on my desire HD but ran fine in the touchpad.... I've had no lag issues on many games

The question then is "Which version of Android?"
You should try Xron 2.9 de-odexed.

Have you tried to overclock it yet? Maybe you should try to run it at 1.8GHz. And maybe use chainfire to change come of the settings?

thanks for advises.
I installed the latest version of Xron 2.9 de-odexed and overclocked the devise with set cpu to 1.8 the FPS raised a bit but the laggs are still exist especially in opening demo.i also have a bad watching movie experience because of the low FPS during playing back.it seems the software can not take the full advantage of adreno 220 chipset.I dont have any of these issues with the stock webos.

I don't really know if Adreno 220 is slow, or CM7 doesn't release this GPU's full potential, but heavy 3D games are really quite laggy now. We could only wait and hope for ICS, better drivers and whatnot.

I don't really know if Adreno 220 is slow

It's powerfull gpu, somewehere near tegra2,probably faster but I'm not sure.

try xronified version, it's working much better. Probably still not full potential but heavy games are working fine.

I'm not having any problems....I'm not using xron, I'm using inseason rom (which has been locked)...only lag issues i have are while streaming 1080p videos. Gta 3, real racing, ps4oid all run perfectly fine

[Q/A][DISCUSSION] CyanogenMod 10.x/11

This thread is created to reduce off-topic posts in development section.
Use this thread to discuss my work for Mini 2. (recoveries, ROMs etc.)
Please don't make any requests and most importantly, use the search button to make sure the answer to your question/problem is already present somewhere in here.

Hi , that´s my opinion
Twice 10.1 or JB port , have a problem with battery duration (and other minor bugs)
the game play are so laggy ,and you really have a slow experience with diary use.
AOkp I think that is trustworthy to the JB use. but the same with lag .
Thanks for your work !!!! and I hope you get new roms updates.
Sorry for my english...

jelly bean requires a lot of more RAM than GB. That's why there is some lag, I suggest to use smartassv2 as CPU governor if you need performance, if you need to save battery use interactiveX.

Is it possible to fix the camera now?. Since preview problem seems to be known now?

i tried installing cm-10.1-20130629-UNOFFICIAL-jena today but get an error 7.
factory reset, cache partition and dalvik cache have been wiped, i`m using cwm 6.0.3.2.
versioncm-10.1-20130611-UNOFFICIAL-jena works without any problems.
what could i be doing wrong ?
edit: i returned to the working version and flashed it new because i finally wanted to get rid of the gapps package i installed before.
however even after flashing 0611 again gapps still seem to be on my system.
do i have to wipe anything else i`m not aware of ? the target is a cyanogen 0611 or 0629 without any gapps

do you have cwm 6.0.3.2 build 4 ?

ohh! it`s build 3 actually!
thx a lot! will give it a try at once

no problem

it worked perfectly thanks again!
the only thing i`m still facing is that gapps still seem to be on the system from a previous installation, although i wiped the 3 settings mentioned above.
is 0629 supposed to have the play store, services and other google named services? can i get rid of them somehow?
edit: solved, i had to format /system /data /cache. now gapps and other parts of the previous installations are definitely gone. happy happy!

The performance greatly depends on the game you're playing. Currently with CM10 20130629 (the NFC patch doesn't work, BTW) I have good performance with Icy Tower 2, but micro lags on Jetpack Joyride. Of course both of these games run perfectly on stock, but Icy Tower 2 has some graphical glitches not appearing on JB. But Jetpack Joyride is a lazy port from iOS and it can stutter even on better phones. But the overall performance is just fluid. Will test Vice City later to see if a lot has changed since April 2013, when I lastly tested VC on CM10.

those "micro lags" are because of RAM. I had an old PC with 256MB (!) RAM like 5-6 years ago, when I played NFSMW, I would get freezes/lags each 3-5 seconds, the loading screen took ages to load, then I put in another 512MB and everything was fine. No lags/freezes, loading screens didn't load forever etc.

On cm10 and cm9 for less ram usage i went to Developer options, scrolled to the bottom and set background processes to 1 or 0.
There are no these options on cm10.1, right? I dont know did you mean slow ramread/write or high usage with old pc example...

Ahh...the old-school NFSMW - one of my favorite games of all time.
But Android manages RAM differently than Windows, so 512MB shouldn't be a problem because it runs file on stock 2.3.6.
Looks like Jetpack Joyride stutters when there are certain sprites drawn. Seems to be some kind of GPU thing. If GTA VC runs better than this, I'll uninstall this crap.

That was just an example that RAM matter a lot in games. Temple Run 2 uses >100MB. Imaging what more demanding games require. I have about ~50-60MB free RAM when the phone is idle.

I have 210 at idle and still same lag and low fps as it is when 120 is free
Edit: cm9 has more than 100mb/s faster ram read speed than cm10, .1, aokp. And it has performance as good on 800mhz as cm10 has at 1.05ghz. Stock rom read is 500 mb/s, cm9 450, cm10 350
Sent from my GT-S6500D using xda app-developers app

Well, looks like that's the problem. I noticed that actually earlier when people were posting benchmark results, everything was higher than on stock, except for the RAM speed.
I guess there's nothing to do about it? It's all in the kernel.

Probably gpu performance depends on ram speed... So improving ram speed will improve gaming performance and overal performance of the device in cm9, cm10, cm10.1 and aokp.

thanks for your job TheWhisp CM 10.1 is awesome like you thank you very much

I don't know which games you play but I play various gba roms and hacks via my boy emulator and it is very smooth. those temple run etc. do not appeal to me. If they were then probably I would have bought a better phone. but know this. Mini 2 is not a phone to play games.
oh and a question to @TheWhisp cm10.1 or aokp. whats the difference. which one do you prefer?

You fixed camera using same liboemcamera?

[Q] Video Playback and Camera Problem after updating to 4.0.3 from Gingerbread.

Hi
I updated to to 4.0.3 from Gingerbread. I was initially very happy as it felt like a brand new phone.
But now I am facing 2 problems:
1. Video files are really really choppy and it goes out of sync and eventually hangs the phone.... I am using BS Video Player app for videos. In Gingerbread I was able to play even HD (720p) movies quite easily but now much smaller videos are not playing properly. I have tried other (including the default one) players also
Have you guys faced similar problem? Is there solution you could suggest?
2. Camera won’t start sometime. Sometimes it starts and then it works fine.
Is there any solution for this?

I can kind of answer your first question, for some reason some video codec supports are dropped when going to ICS+ (I had a 720p recording of a science experiment that played wonderfully on GB, but couldn't even play on ICS and above). So your solution is third-party video players (I personally like DicePlayer, but all work well).
As for the camera, that's probably a bug in the rom you're using.

I am using a 3rd party player (BS Player) only, Earlier it played everything fine. Now it's really choppy and tries SW mode after struggling in hardware mode for sometime, then it hangs.... And with default it's always saying that the video can't be played after few minutes.

Some ROMs/kernels use bigger part of the RAM for the apps, on costs of the video recording. As you didn't provide info about which rom and kernel do you use, it would be best to check the source threads of their developers and read what other people write about it

That should be a Kernel issue... Some Kernels use some of the available for use with apps removing some useability from the camera. You should check if your free Ram is bigger than 370 Mb. Usually most Kernels with bigger free memory has that problem...

Thanks guys for replying
I am using ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000 from here :

How can bigger free memory create problem? or did you mean the other way around?
Is there any lightweight and fully functional that you guys can suggest for my good old GalaxyS i9000?

Usually developers add some more free memory for general use, removing some from other parts of the Kernel used for example by the camera.
But if you only installed that Rom, usually the Stock Kernels don't have that problem. But depends on what Kernel that Rom uses... I don't know.

Is there any lightweight and fully functional that you guys can suggest for GalaxyS i9000?

I have a Galaxy S+ (GT-i9001) and I use the K^Kernel that has great performance and awesome battery life. But for i9000 I don't know, sorry...
For i9001 there are 3 versions of this Kernel: 360 Mb; 370 Mb & 390 Mb of free memory.
In the 390 Mb version, 720p Video doesn't work also...

must play hd videos?

Hello guys I'm in a rush so I keep this short and sweet
So I installed latest version of cm10, and tried YouTube app
I only can play the videos when they are in hd..
Any solutions? Cos hd videos kinda lag.
Thanks

Any replies? Ty

Yes... Currently only in hd

Does it also apply to the CM10.1? Can I play the videos normally there? Does embedded videos in the browser (browser YouTube, or Facebook for ex.) work in CM10.1 as well? This is important for me. (well that, and GTA: VC performance, vs. my currently Stock)

well not really sure, but i will try cm10.1 soon sure cos the latest cm10 seems to be lagging me down for some reasons =-=
for the embedded videos, i guess u will need the jb flash player to be installed too. its found here on xda. for gta vc, wow , i cant even play that on my gb stock rom cos too laggy XD. how did u do that? and in cm10or 10.1, it will defintely be laggier cos jb takes more ram

Right now, CM10.1 is faster than CM10, so try it now.
About GTA: VC on stock, well, it's laggy, but more in vehicle, than on foot. Also about 30 minutes later it lags very bad and closes itself shortly after. But it's somewhat playable for me. I'll just complete the story and some side missions and get rid of it, and test Real Racing 3.

[Q] CSR Racing problem on SGA

Hello,
I have a problem with CSR Racing game. During race in single player mode the graphics is in very low detail (no light effects) and it runs very smooth. But in multi player race the graphics looks normal, like on the other phones or screenshots but is very slow an laggy.
I have tried this game on stock GB 2.3.6 on stock JB 4.1.2 on CM 10.1 and CM 10.2
On every ROM game runs like i mentioned.
I have question, does anybody owning a Galaxy S Advance is or was playing this game and haw it was working.

Probably our hardware can't handle it. You tried it with CoCore kernel on Stock FW?

Yeah i’ve tried that combination.
But correct me if I’m wrong. SGA have the same GPU as Galaxy S2 and Galaxy S3 mini, main differences is less cores compared to S2 and if I’m right lower clock compared to S3 mini.
Graphics capabilities, extensions etc. are the same. So if the SGA will be too week for this game it will be running very slowly but the graphics will be the same as on S2 and S3 mini.

That less cores and less clock is enough for game performance to be worst than on S2. It sure has less power than S2, for S3 mini I am not sure.

You didnt understend
Graphics that are shown on S2 and SGA have to be the same, but SGA could be laggy. But on my SGA graphic is worst then on any other phone, missing sprites (or textures) no effects etc

Ok, thanks, im installing it right away to check. Thanks thah You specially installed the game to check it.
Today reverted back to GB and it was fine.
Are you using "stock" omni or iwth some modiffications etc ?
We are talking about this rom - omni-4.3.1-20131203-janice-HOMEMADE.zip ?

Nah
Fresh installation of omni and in single player low graphics
in multi normal graphics and its laggy :/
later i will record video to show graphics in single and what happens in multi
mayby we have different point of view for smootk graphics but i used fps metter and in multi its about 14-16 fps
