Games always choppy on MT3G

I've wiped and installed a handful of different ROMs to no avail. Any time I download and install a 3D or 3Dish game (even ShootU), it's choppy. I saw a video of a G1 running Raging Thunder and it was smoother than my mytouch.
What gives? It's pretty annoying.
Running Stokes 1.3 Eclair ROM.

do you use swap? tried superD ROM? hell even cyanogen isn't bad.
my mytouch is choppy in general. like its laggy. not as fast as an iphone (even thought i hate iphones, i have to say that.) but as for games, nah. games that are choppy for me are online games because of the occasional lag, other than thats, mines pretty good.

Yeah, I have Super D's 1.9.2 Rom on after a wipe, and I even formatted my sdcard. I'm running ra amons recovery as well.
The game in particular is ShootU. I installed Raging Thunder and it runs great now...but I'm curious as to why this other game is so choppy.
I was in a TMo store yesterday, took their display mt3g and installed ShootU on it, and it played completely smooth.
Just sort of at a loss. Haven't tried any other games really, and it's not like this is a make-or-break deal for me. Just bugs me a lot.

Super D uses the 10 mb RAM hack and that takes the extra 10 mb of ram from the 3d gaming part of the phone so 3d games will be choppy. If you don't want the 10 mb ram hack or want a choice between hack or not go to cyanogen.

robo defense is laggy

does anyone else experience sporadic lag while playing robo defense? my moment can play this game flawlessly, so i'm kinda wondering why there is any lag on the evo. i'm using stock rom with netarchy's kernel to remove fps cap.

I only notice any lag only when a new message comes in.

its been working great for me

Game has been very smooth since first release.

slowdown when you get a notification is normal, however i also noticed some major lag the longer i play, i had the game running for about 3 hours and it just keeps getting slower and slower, i think it just happens the longer you play, just reboot your phone and let it cool down and you should be good.

Games on Froyo choppy

since getting the froyo update it seems games are not smooth, while i figured the opposite would be the case....need for speed runs a bit jerky and angry birds doesn't run all that well either. both games run much better on the fascinate but i'm returning that phone...waaaaaaaaaay too many issues, just not worth it.
does anyone else have similar issues?
btw, my phone isn't rooted and otherwise it flies. i've also tried with launcer pro, same results.

There is still a small TS issue in all kernels :(

i 've been used all the kernels from huanyu and michyprima,hastarin and mdeejay..and so many builds!i saw that all kernels still has a ts issue most in gaming experience
it would be great if the devs could work somehow on it more ..
also..i like very much to have a live wallpaper without issue on scroling pages..but always when a live wallpaper setting up screen has ts issue !i know its a known bug and must put a simple wallpaper so u can have better performance..!
So..
what u think?is there a way to fix the bugs for better gaming experience such as asphalt and nova etc..
and scrolling through pages with a live wallpaper can be smoother???
thanks for your time for reading this ..
i hope not to get flamed...i know devs has so much to work on kernels..!i just made a simple request for the people who have the same experience and they need the same fix as me
Or..is there a way to fix that by myself something that i didnt know it????

the ts freezes ****s gaming experience up, thats true.. and sad. lets have a bit more patience on this
but hey.. the live wallpapers are killing the performance of android.. doesnt matter on wich phone. some friends got desires, and all of them has the live wallpaper off. if they set it on, it laggs even more than on my hd2!!
and the same on my nexy! live wallpaper make it laggy >.<!

so..lets hope for a fix so we can play smoother gaming
about live wallpapers i didnt know that the ts issue also exist and in nexus one device and desire too...!so if it is like that..then i'll pass it
too bad because there are so nice live wallpapers wich can be costumizable in you likes and use it as wallpapers such as nexus revamped and u can use your own wallpapers and make the lines pass like the nexus one original
panoplanet live wallpapers is also nice which u use panoramic wallpapers and it looks soooo amazing..too bad screen lags with live wallpapers and drains much more faster the battery!
thanks...

You might want to try formatting your SD card to a 32K Cluster Size, I saw it recommended in these forums, tried it myself, and have been playing without issues since they did the TS Fix.
Ive been playing A LOT Pocket Legends (Multi-Touch MMORPG game ) and Ive had zero issues with it. Asphalt run awesome, but I must admit I unistalled it after trying Raging Thunder 2 and NFS: Shift, Glyder 2 works amazingly well too. No Accelerometer or TS fixes in either of those.
I always do a Format to 32K Cluster Size before trying a new ROM, the best one if used so far is MDJ 1.7. Trying right now the HD build

Pocket Legends is probably the most demanding game of all of those, and it runs perfectly, even with LOTS of people on screen. The issue with Asphalt seems to be the GFXs engine. NFS Shift looks way better than Asphalt and it doesnt lag at all, and I played NOVA for about an hour without any screen lag, same for Toonwarz, so dunno
Formatting to a 32K cluster size helps sometimes since it tends to increase the read/write timings at the expense of smaller files occupying a bit more of space, but in the end it pays off imo.
Some TS issues have been found to be directly linked with SD speeds and high CPU loads, so you might wanna try a faster card if available just to be sure
I really dunno what else to suggest ya, Im currently playing more with my HD2 than my PSP (its actually collecting Dust since Android got installed lol)
I could suggest ya trying out this Build: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823491
With that stock kernel and everything, pretty much the most stable Build I've ever used.
Hope it helps

U guys have cm builds ? I get it on all cm builds , but none of the sense builds (otherwise id have cm myself)

a little off topic
i just orderes an iphone 3g from ebay for 150 dollars

@edangel
The iPhone 3G (or even the 3GS) couldn't tap the HD2.

Performance issues games

I'm running the GB sbf and overclocked at 1250MHz/62 vsel. One particular game is Fruit Ninja by Halfbrick and the number of swipes and lags makes the game pretty much unplayable.
I have tried it on a clean boot and the same performance issues exist (it was the same before they released multi-touch support in the game as well). Has anyone else found similar problems?

Ok, I tried two other games Raging Thunder 2 and Hyper Jump. Raging Thunder 2 simply switched the phone off after about 20 seconds (tried three times same outcome). Hyper Jump was also unreliable so I unrooted and removed the overclocking and the games have become more stable but not bulletproof and all seem to suffer intermittent lags. Does anyone think this is simply a hardware issue or another added advantage of motoblur?

Nice one
This is what I experienced so far. Downloaded Fruit Ninja few days before it got multi touch. Found it really laggy and wanted to give it back but was too late for a refund. Then I updated my version when multi touch came along. It was better but not really smooth.
Once I disconnected my internet connection it once again became smoother but not as it is on iPhone/iPod Touch. But now it is absolutely playable and I'm getting very good at it.
I have the German Version, unrooted and not overclocked. Of course, I swear that Motoblur makes it lag as well.
What I recommend to do:
1-disconnect internet and try
2-back to stock, maybe downclock cpu and try
3-if not yet, update Fruit Ninja
4-Try to disable Motoblur with TitaniumBackup. There is a thread floating around here in the forums.
Keep us updated with any progress =)
Regarding other games I don't know.

I don't have my Milestone 2 yet, but from what I've read re MotoBlur it is a complete POS, and I would probably lean towards that causing lag on the phone as reports from people who have removed MotoBlur say the phone is now incredibly fast and responsive.

No problems for me playing fruit ninja and Raging Thunder 2, on my M2 @ 1,2Ghz with UK sbf and all motoblur services and home kicked off with Titanium backup

It seems this is the way to go, I'll give it a go at some stage but it isn't critical as I use a Nokia N900 as my daily. Would love to have Maemo5 with Milestone hardware

I managed to remove the packages as Shellite recommends in this thread and performance is now outstanding.
The method isn't optimal from an aesthetic point of view but it does do exactly as intended. Just be aware that if you remove things like the blur widgets you still get the option to add them to your desktop but when selected they don't do anything.
Another thing I noticed in contacts and other areas where linking to social networking features all goes a little pear shaped if you have removed those services.
Anyway, it works well but until a nice clean rom is available the M2 won't be replacing my N900 anytime soon
