Help! Newbie here - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok so im a newbi to this stuff and i HAVE been reading through other threads for answers but no answers found and i know asking which rom is better is frowned upon but wot i would like to ask is which rom out of cm10.1 or cm10.2 has the MOST stable version i.e. battery/ able to play heavy games such as gta san andreas. i am currently on lightjb v2 which is great! but i hate the samsung theme its too dull and boring lol
Also if you could kindly explain what RIL/NFC is and is it a major problem? if so whch of the 2 roms has all of that fixed.
Thanks in Advance!

RIL is basically phone functions like calling / sms. NFC matters only if you got i9070p (nfc enabled model), if you got i9070 there is no nfc chip so no need driver for it. It is technology responsible for example for allowing you to use your phone as paypass card.
About which cm is better in terms of stability and battery I would say 10.1 and 10.2 are similar. I have not tried 10 but from what I understand those bugs that are still there are common actoss all cm 10 versions so i would expect similar feeling there too. That being said I am using 10.2 as my daily driver.

Gta 3 and max payne worked fine for me. There is list of games that are working somewhere on this forum. Right now I am more into sudoku / indie games so no need heavy 3d to be able to play.

[Q] problems in some games :(

First of all i'd like to say hello to everyone here
Now, i'll share with you my problem and hope thats somebody here knows what's the problem.. Well i installed some games in my note (n7000, the european version) then, some of them don't work properly the graphics look pretty bad or i got some parts of te screen in black and i'm worried that this could be some problems with the graphics chip... Althogh the menu of the game works properly. This happends with games like nfs hot pursuit or shadow guardian but other games like dead space which also has great graphics works excellent.
The phone is new, i bought it yesterday xD so if is there any problem with the hardware ill get it back. Thanks for reading and every little help is appreciated
I'll upload now some screen captures as i don't see how to do it from here xD
Moved To Q&A​
Please post all questions in the Q&A section​
looks like a major hardware issue to me.
I would update the software to the latest available (OTA / Kies). If the problem remains, send it back for a replacement.
it says i already have the latest firmware... anyway i'm doing a back up so ill restore it after that and we will see then if the problem persists...
I just did a quick check in The Market, and it shows that NFS Hot Pursuit isn't compatible with the Note. Shadow Guardian dosen't show as being available for the Note on the Gameloft site either (unless I'm missing something as I've not bought from Gameloft).
oh i was wrong it's not called shadow guardian is shadowgun XD anyway this fors example says that it is compatible with the note but doesn't work properly neither... in the asphald 6 that i downloaded when i use the nitrous boost appears some stripes but in the one downloaded in the samsung apps seems to work good but has no sound and i think it has lower quality... you may be right and to be just a problem of compatibility... so to be sure if somebody can install the same game as i installed, i'll give the link.. to tell me if it's working fine or his phone or not would be great... thanks for reading and replying to everybody and sorry for my bad english
Shadowgun is working for me

You got it from the market? If you have downloaded it from another place can you send me the link to try it pls? I don't know if you are allowed to post that link here so you may have to send me a pm.. But i'm not sure... Anyway i appreciate your reply.. Now i know that the games nust run well on the note
Today at school i talket with a classmate that owns an sgs 2 and he told me that sometimes that happens in his phone too so there os no problem with the hardware it's just the game not fully compatible or something like that... I guess the thread can be closed now, thanks to everybody for the help

Agreed.. the games you are trying are tegra powered and need chainfire 3d with the nvidia plugin to run properly

ShadowGun and the games he has problems with is compatible with Mali-400.
If you're playing pirated games, don't be surprised if they don't work. Simple.

I feel bad about my Note in regards of gaming. My Atrix 4G have much better graphics at least on those optimized for nVidia Tegra. ShadowGun for example, on the Atrix I can see the much better shader effects like fog, dust particles, explosions, shadows and glare. The Note simply don't show any of these effects. It looks flat and lacking :-(

That's up to the developers of Shadowgun, not the Note hardware. Apparently nvidia has bribed them to only support tegra. The Note GPU is better so there's no technical reason for those effects to not work.

I have also noticed that most of the games that have good graphics are usually optimized for for the tegra devices, anyway comparing the graphics between my note playing dead space and the ps vita with the unchertd i think there is not a huge difference...

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

[Q] Gaming - WerewolfJB CM10.1 beta3

Hi all!
I love the work of laufersteppenwolf in making ROM for this smartphone, but it's not the aim of this post to say how much I appreciate his work.
I have a question.
Have anyone tested gaming in this (WerewolfJB CM10.1 beta3) ROM. How it looks? For example how it looks like with the games that used to lag a little: NFS:MW or Shadowgun, and how with those, which where almost unplayable because of the lags: i.e. Spiderman.
Are they running smooth?
Some are better, need for speed is smooth. Spiderman still laggy but not as bad. Some are worse though like nova 3, in benchmarks most stuff was higher but I/O speed is lower than stock which may explain why some are worse. I haven't tested today's new kernel though
Sent from my rooted P880
Thanks for your response. Have anyone else tested it (w/wo new kernel)? And what about the classics like GTA III or VC?

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...
Sent from my GT-S6500D using xda app-developers app
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?

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.
