GTA III 10 year anniversary successfully installed on SGM

I installed it and it was laggy so I installed chainfire 3d and it greatly improved. However its still quite laggy.
I'm running cm7.2.0 build GWK76 android 2.3.7 with 782mhz oc and have 8gb sd card

Meant to say does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can improve graphics performance so it runs smoothly?

"Ram options for gaming: cm settings - performance - minfree - and choose gaming"
This is something i read some days ago, I don't know if it really works because I don't use Cyanogenmod.

Yes i have smartboot kernel up to 782mhz and governor = performance
check threads on samsung galaxy mini development forum. there you will find ways to overclock your cpu. It all depends on whether you have custom or stock rom =)

I'm running cm 7 music edition ,, getting blue screen like this , help me if u know something..?
done oc also upto 782

hey guys can you pleass link me to gta3, bcz i have dl it on a blog,but it's a ripped fil with no sound.....

You guys are certified idiots... buy better phone and pay for it, or buy pc/ps2 version and play it the way it was meant to...

806MHz OC and Chainfire 3D - lags like hell. I have to agree with yackovsky, buy a better phone... but to be honest, even Galaxy S I9000 has problems running it decently, so better give up right away.

Its better to play on PC rather than searching buttons 240*320 resolution screen

Games Got Laggy ..

Games Get kind of laggy and ain't working smoothley...
I'm using RC4.2 By onecosmic Ics On My galaxy s1 , and using Semaphore kernel 0.81..
Is there anything who could make my situation any beter?

Does Anyone have any idea?
It's happening especially At games like Running Fred , and Blood And Gloory, Falling Fred..

its an RC build and a port please dont expect it to be 100% stable, have you tried those games on gingerbread?

yes, they were kind of laggy there too... any idea?

Semaphore may have been the best Gingerbread kernel for gaming, but my experience with cm9 alpha builds have shown that the stock ICS kernels are better than semaphore 0.8.1 when it comes to gaming.

hi. Some Games are laggy on smartphones with low RAM and slow processor. Buy yourself the SGS2 and the games will be run......

Sorry, but it's as if i'd come here an say: Hey, why can't I run MW3 in my brand new Commodore 64?

Look, I just know that it's speciphic My phone, I saw others galaxy s devices who running games smoothley than my phone, so I just seak to know, what can I do..?

hi i just tried running fred on my phone and it was running smoothly. im on jvu with semaphore. overclocked to 1200, governors ondemand40, low memory killer bigmem. i also have chainfire3d installed.
hope my setting could help.

I think it's a mobile not a PSP or Nintendo DS.
OK You can play Games with your mobile but every mobile is different. Other apps, other settings, other ROM, other Kernel, aso. aso.
When you say your mobile running laggy search for apps running in the background and are not required. Kill them and play again. When its better, search for settings which you can change to optimize your mobile.
We cant say you must do this and than that, because your apps and mobile settings not visible for us and as I said above .... each mobile is different

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?

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

hmm.. you know that iphone 3GS has a PoverVR GPU ? i think it is better than our ace's GPU (adreno200) .. and their CPU is CortexA8 ! it is just underclocked..

Yep, but still the hardware on our ace isn't as shi* as you think I mean come on its 2d, I am not even on about 3d. There is gotta be a way. I ran a benchmark (quadrant) on cm9 2d was like 65 fps and on cm7 its like 35. wtf. but the 3d (the 3D graphics) is as smooth as hell. what kinda thing is this that can process 3d but not 2d.
cheers!!!!

well I used to play games a lot I mean games like bia2 or nova even dead space, why can our ace process all these 3d stuff with no problem or with the least problems (i mean i wouldn't even expect ace to run dead space have you seen the graphics ??? ) but cant process simple 2d graphics.
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.

umh, yea.. maybe software issue, btw this always happens in all roms ? mine doesnt seem so ? i think it is ur min CPU freq ? no ?
really, mine doesnt lag at all. some lags do occur when i run several apps at once (tapatalk, opera mini, sms, twitter) at the same time.

My governor is always set to performance. i've tried min 480 and 245 no dif.
performance doesn't really drain my battery and my phone doesn't get as hot as before, interactive works well too
well think about, cm9 65fps cm7 35fps. its definitely software issue our poor ace has good hardware but not the software it deserves.

what are your suggestions people ???? we gotta find a way.

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......

Does the JB alpha drain battry as fast as The ics ???? or its been fixed i was gonna try it but you know its alpha so thought may be later.
i'll give you a thank tomorrow i'm limited to 8 thanks a day What the actual Fuc*.

And to all the devs out there is there anyway to do this, and is there a way to make this bloody useless OS to use hardware to render UI.
and is cm9 or 10 ever actually gonna be official for ace ??? i don't think so!!! is it???

i think android wasnt that bad......well, compared to BB OS, and symbian
ICS alpha is not for daily use, at least, it will show you smoother UI, and you can wait for next release.

Epic Citadel not running

I was so happy to see that finally they released on Android....
but it doesn't run. I can start the app, I see the loading screen, then the EPIC movie. But when it should go to the '3d' rendering part (the beginning of the citadel), I get a black screen. I can hear the birds singing, but I don't see anything.
I tried uninstalling chainfire 3d, i tried uninstalling epic citadel 3 times. Nothing worked.
I rebooted, and tried all the 'normal' things. I am on stock 4.0.3 with root permission. Not knowing why it doesn't start bothers me much more than not starting it up.

Wrong forum - should be in Q&A.
Until now it's only a tech demo. Search all Forums, there are already a few threads related to the demo - maybe you'll find something helpful.
I just download it and will try the demo on my device. Will post here about the results.

Almost the same problem:
Anyone tried Epic Citadel (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...pdGFkZWwiXQ..)?
I'm having a problem with stock 4.0.4. The benchmark starts and eventually - either right in the beginning or somewhere during the test the app kicks me on the HOME screen.
Has anyone tried the test? I assume that the problem is in the RAM as the program force close the launcher is completely reloaded.

Works on AOSPA, JB 4.2.1.

Works on stock GB LC1. Install, start, tap, run.
Phantastic Graphics, wow, just running the benchmark mode.
Results: 28.3 FPS (second run 28.8)
Resolution: 1280x800
Performance Level: High Quality
Update: and it's getting hot (at least very warm).

working for me on cm10.1 but very low fps the maximum fps reached is 26..
Ps: these bechmarks are on a underclocked voltage and cpu.. when i clocked the cpu to 1400 mhz at default voltage i got average fps of 34.1 at high quality

Please make the benchmark. Here we can see the difference between Samsung JB (with butter) and CM (without, I remember entropy's remarks about the limits and Samsung's policy).

Cant try on JB, i'm still on ICS but here's what i get:

Hi ThaiDai, could you explain me more what you're just said? I'm interested. Is there a topic to read about that?

Two reasons:
- All apps I need are running without problem, GB is stable, only miss the new launchers a bit.
- I switch to the XXLSA leak for OTA update tests and restoring my GB backup with closed eyes now.
And with this demo here: It's fast, faster than every CM, AOSP, AOKP Rom, comparable to ICS
Only waiting for the next JB release. I will switch then if no new disappointment happens.

I'll play a lot in S3 mini, the cm10.1 this good for gaming or CM10.1 and better? If you are CM10.1 same sewed the stock has no problem, you guys have any link cm10.1 without bug? Or that I posted and the best?
Thank you for helping me

i don't play that many graphics intensive games on my s3 mini but S Advance which has like the same hardware as our s3 mini can play games smoother on stock rom compared to my s3 mini CM10.1

Sorry, but it was not clear to me, the games in question (who I quoted above for example) run in cm10.1? The Cm10.1 this better than stock in a matter of heavy games like gangstar, GTA and N.O.V.A 3, or stock and better to run heavy games ?

Yes they can run in CM10.1, as long you are using android you can run it, CM10.1 will be better for games but it is subjective as you may have other apps running in the background which slows down your device

I guess no ROM is "notably better" for any game, there might be some slight effect due to how the ROM manages memory etc... but in the end the hardware remains the same, no matter what ROM you install.
I've had so many ROMs and so many games, but in the end you don't really notice a difference in gaming performance (as long as the ROM itself isn't buggy and laggy, of course).

I can vouch for this to and I agree although management of running apps and services helps with smoothness.
