well, I don't think I can help you with that. I have my phone on stock and lots of games running flawlessly. Besides, I still have locked bootloader, so CM and leaked 4.3 are not an option for me (yet). You have your bootloader unlocked? 'cause you're suggesting to use CM or the leaked 4.3
PS you posted on the right forum

that's a shame.. you got a very unusual problem haha. I'm afraid I'm out of ideas... you repaired with SUS or flashtool? I know SUS has only official firmware (and for me without annoying bugs).

Not sure if its ram management issue. If you can wait for few days, then please do. The 4.3 update is round the corner. You can install the update and then check.

fast reboot (no root needed) or greenify (root needed)

If you know about rooting, then root your device and use greenify. If you don't know, then wait for the 4.3 update. There are speculations that it has better ram management.

GTA 3 on optimus black

GTA 3 does not work on my OB, there are other ways to make it run?
it doesnt work on my P970 either
our processors(powervr) is not compatible.
Try with chainfire3d
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk
i have tried it with and without chainfire3d...but unfortunately i was unable to make it work on CM7+nova with the sd card data it downloads over the wifi (for LG OB)
however, i switched to stock rom (just to check) and i was able to start the game and open menus nd stuff with sd card data of samsung galaxy s plus...but there was flickering all over the display...not playable
disappointed...
Screen flickering too @ main menu. After flickering main menu, game doesnt start.
It's an early version, so i guess they'll add support for more devices later.
maybe downloading the data with sd chainfire with plug-in Nvidia ... because is different sd data
Version 1.1 came out. Now works on optimus black and runs pretty smooth with no flickering
Like i said
Good news ... gonna test it asap
1.1 lags really bad for me. disabling audio folder at sd helps little bit though.

Bugs in 4.3

Hi there.
I update my N4 first day after release and i notice some bugs.
1.When i press power button to unlock, it unlocks and lock it again, like pressing twice.
2.When i make a call sometimes screen is black, like problem with sensor.
I make fresh update via fastboot, then wipe everything. Clean install.
This bugs i dont have on 4.2.2.
Can someone tell is there with this bugs or some other...?
Maybe we gonna need one more update from Google .
No similar bugs here.
No issues here. Try downloading the stock image and flash again on a clean wipe.

I already do that. Download from google site and clean install via fastboot.
This bugs are after that.
Well, I actually have some serious issues with 4.3 that I did not have in 4.2.2. Playing any game, even Candy Crush Saga, was impossible due to gpu throttle, getting low framerates even after leaving the phone sleep for 15min... But in 4.2.2 I had no frame drops whatsoever, no matter the time I had been playing/using the device before, so I'm definetly staying with 4.2.2 until they fix that.
And I flashed 4.3 3 times to make sure it was something "normal".
No problems here

Maybe you have a messed up power button. Did you go back to 4.2 and see if the problem disappears. I have a friend with a n4 and his power button was so sensitve. Just looking at it made it activate, jk but it was pretty close he did an exchange

Try new clean install. Via fastboot.
Well, I already managed to crash Gmail & Voice Search. never happened to me with 4.2.x - fresh install.
I did notice others complain about crashing GAppz after upgrading to 4.3, so I guess I'm not alone.

That's strange haven't had any issue on the leaked 4.3 and not on official JWR66V either which I'm currently on

Bluetooth audio quality still sucks, has slightly improved over 4.2 but still the highs are pretty much screwed up.
Hello!
Can you tell me, please, what do you mean by clean install ? I have already flashed with 4.3 stock image with adb/fastboot (flash-all.bat) and I am wondering if I did something wrong because now, my phone is starting acting like a samsung - it is slower, baterry is worse and, overall, it seems that it has a fewer frame rate.
Thank you

In my case it means that after I received the OTA update, I rebooted, entered recovery, did reset factory defaults + wipe cache and configured everything from the beginning.
Can't get cleaner than that. upgrades might go wrong due to bad applications, old system configurations & stuff. It's better to do a fresh start once you get a newer version of the os.

this point 1...It's happening to here as well.It was no such thing in 4.2...I thought that something is wrong with my power button.Created a thread as well to ask other members here..So i guess i am not alone..Btw this thing happens not every time..It happens once or twice in every 10 tries..But it is annoying for me

[Q] Sony Xperia Z after updating to 4.2.2 obb games do NOT work

when my device were running on Android 4.1.2 I've installed some obb games like Virtua Tennis, Asphalt, ..etc
but after updating to 4.2.2 (the official one) none of my obb games works..
whenever I start any of them it says (you need to download ??MB of game data to run the game)

If that was the case you would just re-download them via google play.
Anyway what happens if you download the new files? Does it run after that?

[Q] Very laggy phone

Please guys help me! I dont like any JB based ROMS. I prefer having a KK or LP ROM, but all of them are extremly laggy! Everytime I install a new ROM it looks like I finally found a flying ROM. After even a few hours of use it starts getting laggy, the SystemUI closes again and again. I really think Xperia SP is a great device. So why I experience all that mess? Do anyone have the same problem as me? Thanks for attention.

What kind of apps u use. Please tell.
Edit: When u change rom do u use titanium backup (or equivalent app) to restore apps.
yes I use titanium backup. nut I also tried to install apps directly from google play. I use especially whatsapp, facebook messenger, facebook, snapchat, instagram, clash of clans, fx file explorer and a few others

i use titanium backup always and nothing happen ....just install kernel auditor and put cpu to smartassv2 and to 1.8 .....and greenify to get more RAM...that way you will have a faster phone :good:
Great! As @flash said use kernel auditor, greenify and apply those settings.
U can also try servicely.
One more recommendation kill/force stop the apps which u use less.
For eg i kill whatsapp, facebook when not using them.
Anyways Good luck hope we both helped u to some extent.

That is a great solution.
Actually our phone suffers from lack of ram (poor ram management too) as compared to other 1Gb ram phones. It's because we have a high performing chipset and 1Gb ram is not enough for it specially the Adreno 320 GPU.
I mean it doesn't let us do multitasking.
And one more problem is less read & write speed of internal memory.
@akashsaini7
Maybe I should decrease the CPU and GPU speed in order to make the RAM less heated?
