Hi all I have seen some YouTube videos that the game running smoothly on the galaxy tab 10.1
I installed on my 8.9 LTE and it lag like mad to the point that its unplayable
Is it suppose to be this slow?

It's been specially optimized for Tegra 2, doubt there's been much love given to the Adreno 220 yet.
Your 10.1 owning friends will be able to play Tegra 2 enahnced games that you cant, but you will be able to play back all kinds of video files at full frame rates and qualities, and they will not be able to on their tegra 2's.
The qualcom chip in our lte 8.9's is faster all around also, in addition to having the NEON instructions that allow hardware acceleration of mpeg4.
I just fixed it!
Version 1.0 works beautifully (even with IPAD graphics). You can find the fix for IPAD graphics on this forum.
Version 1.2 however lags terribly, but works extremely fast on a galaxy SII (standard international model).
Have fun!
Hello guys
I bought a Razr i few weeks ago, it had ICS 4.0 and I upgraded it to Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
I installed Subway Surfers and now it runs (before it didn't) but runs a little laggy.
I installed Need for Speed Most Wanted and it runs like in slow motion. Firs I tought that my phone specs were not enough to run it, specially beacuse of the GPU SGX 540.
But I watched a video of a gameplay of Need for Speed Most Wanted running on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, it ran very smoothly, I got very surprised because The Galaxy Nexus has a similar GPU but it's screen resolution is 1280x720, it's GPU runs at 384MHz. By the other side the Razr i has a screen resolution of 540x960 and it's GPU runs at 400MHz.
This means that the Razr i must be more powerful than the Galaxy Nexus respecting to graphics.
My own conclusion is that app developers haven't optimized their apps to run on a x86 processor.
What do you guys think? Do anyone else have a problem similar to mine?
I agree with you. Unfortunately there's not much phones using x86 processor and it seems that they do not care to optimize their applications to run on our phone.
The apps were just ported, not optimized to x86 architecture. That's the reason some apps works but crashes.
Ok so I've tried almost every rom there is for the Nook HD+ even some weird Pacman rom. But reciently I decided to try out the stock rom seeing I bought mine already rooted. Its crazy but it seems faster! I was locked in a crazy boot cycle the other day with a newer rom and just decided to install stock as I had it there on my external sd card. I updated it to version 2.2.0 even tho last time I tried it, it failed (Its ment to) and everything just seems smoother. Although its has now been unrooted
I guess the only trouble I will run into is that it doesn't have trim support? I can probably see it slowing down in about 3 weeks.. How is everyone elses experience with the stock rom been?
Maybe it is just your nook that run stock better. Mine two nook and lots of others are running CM like a charm.
At least for mine nook , CM 10.2 just blow stock rom out of water and back in and out again. Smoother , faster, more customisable, better battery life...
Many say also say CM 11 kick ass as well.
I think stock runs faster, too. At first, with a fresh install. After installing my 150 or so apps it gets as slow as anything else if not slower, plus there is no TRIM support. I prefer CM11; it's pretty impressive in both speed and performance, and it's hard for me to give up the many customizations available and built-in root access.

hmmmm i was just pondering , how much faster cm11 will be compared with stock rom , just bought a HD+ , browsing is a bit sluggish and choppy when zooming in and out , using a fairly low level browser called Boat browser , i use the same browser on my Samsung Note 3 and its spot on nice and fast........i was hoping CM11 when i install it tomorrow would make quite a lot of difference .....seems as if it might not be based on the messages above !!!

No. stock rom is definitely not faster. Not by a long shot. That's crazy talk.

That's good to know, I shall install in the next few hours.
Which is your favourite version of kitkat for the nook hd+?
Antutu results are about 10% better with 10.1 or 10.2 vs stock on my HD. Didn't spend enough time with the stock ROM to tell if there was a noticeable performance difference.

Just installed the latest CM11 nightly , boy what a difference it has made to the overall slickness / speed of the Android experince on the Nook HD+ , i only paid UK £54.99 delivered , turned up today , did my homework over the past few days and hey presto CM11 has turn a bit of a sluggish tab into a bargain great experince tablet !!! i generall use my Galaxay Note 3 for my evening surfing , but i guess i will be using the HD + most evenings instead !

Maybe OP 's nook is different then most of ours . Stock rom has its magic on his nook.
But for those who is really looking for a more responsive rom, I strongly recommend giving cm a try.
My nook is on cm 10.2. It usually last 1 week for me on a charge and I do quite some reading and watching movies.

Dalvik or ART?

I had the stock ROM with some the mods such as rooted and install unknown apps. I was happy with it but once I tried cm10.1 yellow kernel or the cm10.2 with the archdroid optimizations, I will never go back. I would recommend cm10.2 with the archdroid optimizations unless over clocking is important to you. If OC is important check out the yellow kernel ROM.

I used to use Boat, too, but now I use Javelin. I recommend you check it out. Also make sure you run trim after you get everything installed and set up; it could make a difference.
I think on the HD+ there's something wrong with the video driver. Because I agree as well that with CM11 (any version M or nightly) the OS seems more responsive but video transitions and anything involving the screen updates is a dog. Try playing games like PvZ or some others with specific types of video needs and it's just a wreck. I made a video to highlight my Nook HD+ vs Kindle Fire (first generation slow as dirt) with the KF boot screen making the HD+ cry. You can see when I page back left after paging right the HD+ stutters trying to load the mostly empty page too.

Nook HD+ has a 1920x1280 LCD. That's a lot of pixels to render and it is a bit too much for the TI OMAP 4470 to bear it seems. Most high performance computers don't even render that many pixels.

The Kindle Fire HD 8.9" uses the same CPU/GPU and it doesn't have issues doing the same tasks. As the OP stated too the stock rom handles the load better too. I really believe we have a driver or memory management issue.

Could be. Jon Lee of the Yellow Kernel thread has done some changes to the PowerVR and Vivante GPU drivers but it hasn't really changed much as far as I can tell.
He also suggested using the "Force GPU rendering" setting in developer options but that has some caveats. It forces apps that aren't configured to use GPU rendering to do so, but forcing things doesn't always work out as you'd like. Some apps use the GPU(s) already.
We have smart people working on the kernels here and if whatever causes the graphics lag was obvious/addressable it would probably be gone. I am positive that resolution is part of the problem. I've used lower end OMAP4 devices like Nook Tablet with 1024x600 and they were much smoother.

Games aren't a really good way of deciding what's happening.
They can have different quality settings that there's generally no menu for, so its automatic picking for quality. Historically at least, Real Racing 3 would pick it wrongly and thus the game would have bad framerate on the nook hd+ needing use of a 3rd party app to force the game to lower graphics quality.

I typically agree with this statement but if you view the video I posted in my other thread about this topic it's clearly apparent that an old as dirt, 1 GHz, 512mb, very first generation Android tablet running the exact same OS release smacked the crap out of the HD+. The Nook HD+ as is, is an embarrassing device running the non-default OS. The point of this is to ensure someone is aware of this and to see if anything can be done about it.
I haven't tried an emmc install of cm, only dual boot Jelly Bean and KitKat sd cards. But they break some of my regularly used apps, hence no emmc install.
But what I haave found is replacing the stock launcher with Holo launcher really speeds up stock. And Swapps task switcher lets you access recent apps. I'm not sure how it compares to an internal install of cm though, but I'm happy enough with performance.
In reading the commits for my Note II I noticed some new commits for the HD+ that haven't been closed yet. It looks like they're enabling a 128 MB swap partition for this device.

I am kinda new to android device. Been using apple all the while. Just recently bought a tab s2 8.0 for my new mmorpg game. I am actually experiencing graphics lag when there are lots of skills cast. I have tried both ipad mini 3 and it was a lot smoother. I could not figure out why as tab s2 specs are definitely better than ipad mini 3. Anybody can guide me on how to reduce my game graphics lag on my tab s2?

Have a look at the Game Tuner app (get it from the play store). You can use that to change both the graphics resolution and the frame rate in many games. It might help you tweak things to work better with your game.
It helped me fix up a screen size/zoom issue with Simpsons - Tapped Out and I'm now using it on a few other games to give crisper graphics and better response.
