Games on Froyo choppy - Droid X General

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.

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.

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

[Q] is honeycomb this sluggish on all tegra devices?

so I purchased the transformer after rave reviews online. Unfortunately I'm finding an incredibly sluggish experience akin to my nexus 1 on stock 2.1. I'm at 3.1 and the latest firmware and the thing is almost unusable even after a fresh reboot. The launcher is sluggish and all tasks are jerky and delayed. Anyone have any tips to optimizing. The performance? I thought about an although launcher but that seems. Like it SHOULD be unnecessary on hardware like this....
My nexus on cm7 with go launcher is smooth as butter... any ideas? Any known issues?
So on a stock rom it feels like... a stock rom? Give it time. As honeycomb matures and more custom roms with optimizations come out it will definitely get better. The one complaint I have right now is choppy flash video which apparently does not affect other devices (even with equal hardware).
Basically, Asus needs to implement some fixes (like Flash) then get the source code into the hands of devs around here and we will be sorted. Honestly though, it's really not bad as it is. I'm loving it!

Yes there are several if you read here and elsewhere, but nothing like you're describing AFAIK.

To me the default launcher on Asus is very sluggish even when 3.1 came out. I recommend get ADW Launcher Pro. Been using it from day one. Its also sluggish with the Samsung 10.1
I got mine yesterday, TBH I'm also little disappointed with the overall performance given its’ hardware spec. But its NOT extremely laggy a you describe. Early builds of most Android ROMs are like this. I experienced similar issues with my Galaxy S when I first got it, but with time things improved a lot. So I am anxiously waiting for Asus to come up with better ROMs (fixing Flash performance and overall laggyness of the browser and launcher).
@OP, there are plenty of youtube videos showing general performance; go through them and see if you experience anything out of the ordinary.
I haven't noticed the sluggishness myself. There have been a couple hiccups during periods of high load, thats about it.
I did turn Animations to "Some" though...
No slugishness for me. Even before 3.1 I didn't notice any. The animations could be set to be faster sometimes but thats about it. No jerkiness for sure.
++ there's something wrong with your Transformer.
I wouldn't describe the launcher as 'super smooth' but it's not 'almost unusable' by any stretch.
I have an HTC Incredible (almost identical hardware to the Nexus One) running CyanogenMod 7.03 (Android 2.3) and the Transformer is faster without a doubt.
The first thing you should try is a factory reset.

HTC 10 Underpowered?

I just got my HTC 10 yesterday and I'm noticing some lag right away, I get quite a bit of stuttering when I scroll, the phone is very hard to use while apps are updating because of lag, gaming performance isn't better than my note 5 was even though the adreno 530 is supposed to be an upgrade, my antutu score was also lower than it was supposed to be and overall the UI just doesn't feel fluid/60fps. I've tried disabling some of the sprint bloat. I've also tried wiping everything and installing a custom ROM, but I still was getting the same bad performance. Any help would be appreciated.

sounds like something is up with your phone. I came from an S6 and I felt everything was snappier on the HTC. I had one issue and doing a quick firmware update seemed to fix for me. you may want to run an RUU or fastboot the firmware and see if it fixes?
No problems here, even when the device was stock it was smooth.
